Lin Xian made his way toward the storage and living compartnts, inspecting the conditions of each car, while KIKI followed along and said,
"Lin Xian, are you really okay with this thing?"
"What else can we do if we’re not?" Lin Xian replied, "We can’t just abandon it. Since we’ve seen the benefits now, we should use it. There’s no need to let fears of the unknown affect our judgnt."
After the earlier commotion, Lin Xian realized that this Taboo Item seed to have been successfully ’contained’ by so lucky mishap, and the disastrous scenarios KIKI previously described didn’t occur. This is why he had his current thoughts.
"True."
KIKI thought for a mont and nodded, "This thing can shoot flas, so maybe it’s been contained by Brother Huo. That’s the only explanation I can think of."
As Lin Xian walked, he suddenly stopped and smiled wryly, "We’ve stepped on so many pitfalls, and now that we’ve hit the jackpot, it still feels unrealistic. I even find it incredible that we managed to escape unscathed from the corpse chaser."
Back when he was flying above the mountains outside Yijin City, upon seeing the corpse chaser and the overwhelming wave of Abnormal Bodies, Lin Xian’s mind went blank. He still rembers that suffocating sense of despair.
"Brother Huo, although he speaks rebelliously, is extrely cautious. If there’s a problem, he’ll handle it imdiately. I trust him."
After saying this, Lin Xian felt relieved. He didn’t have to worry about everything on this train, and trusting his teammates was a sign of his growth.
Reflecting on it, if Brother Huo had indeed been parasitized by the spores at that ti, his actions were for the safety of the crew. In the apocalypse, choosing to face death alone to protect his teammates — wouldn’t Lin Xian trust him with a Taboo Item?
Besides, Brother Huo just happened to stumble upon it by luck. It seems he indeed carries a bit of extraordinary fortune.
Hearing Lin Xian’s words, KIKI smiled sweetly, "Oh, you seem brighter when you’re not worrying so much."
Lin Xian was taken aback, "Are you saying I look pale?"
That is indeed the case...
Lin Xian checked the ti and sighed in relief, "We’re almost out of the Extre Night region, but since it’s still nightti, we can’t be careless. You should rest for a bit. Keep the radar at full power; we’re relying on it since we’re not using lights."
"Alright~" KIKI stretched and said, "Then I’ll sleep now. Don’t wake up."
"I won’t."
"No, no, if sothing happens, you must call ," KIKI thought for a bit, feeling uneasy and wrapped her arms around Lin Xian’s neck, looking at him with watery eyes, "Or should I stay with you?"
Lin Xian glanced at the rear compartnt and shook his head, "No, you need to have a good rest. The explosion at the Heavenly Mushroom Tower must’ve taken a toll on you. With so many people on the Joint Train, you don’t need to worry about . Go and have a good sleep."
Adequate rest is crucial for dealing with crises, sothing Lin Xian understood since leaving Jiang City. Plus, a key point is that the transformation of Dark Power from Hell’s Black Chrysanthemum is best done during rest, allowing the body to evolve.
Lin Xian was the only one who didn’t need this rest because these powers were directly converted into chanical Source Points by the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, straightforward and simple.
"Alright then."
KIKI knew Lin Xian cared for her, so she didn’t insist, "Then take care, and once Sister Chen and I wake up, it’ll be your turn to sleep."
"Okay."
With that, she glanced at Lin Xian and then turned to leave.
After KIKI left, Lin Xian looked out the train window; the silent Gobi Desert was becoming more expansive, a sea of darkness. He activated the chanical Heart and began inspecting the carriages and the train fra. He reached Car No. 12, where Grace stood quietly in the shadows, her chanical face beautiful and shapely, her body of silvery-black tal Skin flowing with a special luster. Lin Xian approached and touched sothing, and imdiately, amidst the cool sensation, a strange resonance seed to ripple through his chanical Heart.
In the pitch-black Car No. 12, Grace stood silently, and behind Car No. 12, in the nuclear-powered Gemini 11R compartnt, a specially-made tal lead box containing a containnt device filled with Heavy Suspension Liquid quietly lit up, emanating a cherry-red glow. A shadow appeared within, and then it soon dimd again, returning to stillness.
Lin Xian’s expression changed slightly; he withdrew his hand and looked at Grace’s beautiful face.
"Strange, it’s clearly shut down, but why do I feel like you’re still watching ?"
After a while, Lin Xian looked away, feeling inexplicably baffled, and moved to the back. Here were the tools from his toolbox in the forr Infinity utility car, but now there was a much larger tool area, equipped with various train repair equipnt. Many of these were scanned and manufactured by Lin Xian during the journey. On the train, Da Lou, Lv Chang, and others who understood repair were now able to assist Lin Xian in maintaining a significant portion of the train.
Once Luo Yang and Li Yi’s teams were on board, he would have even more help with train maintenance. Luo Yang’s team consisted of university high achievers who were technically skilled and hands-on, while Li Yi’s group of workers were strong, skillful guys, evidenced by their conversion of an engineering vehicle into an apocalypse car.
