Chapter 167: Chapter 162 Hell Black Chrysanthemum (Request for monthly pass!)Lin Xian’s gaze swept over Shu Qin’s caravan. He recognized most of the people, as he had seen them before at the Qu Guan bonfire mutual aid meeting. However, many people had been lost along the way. The Survivor Caravan was mostly made up of small groups of fleeing people. Initially, everyone was not familiar with each other, but due to facing life and death predicaments and the passage of time, they naturally bonded together. Under the common crisis of life and death, sticking together became the only choice. However, not everyone had the sacrificial spirit of the Iron Guard Brigade when facing personal life and death situations. Lin Xian slightly pondered in his heart. Including so many people would inevitably bring greater survival pressure to the team, but it could also unleash stronger combat power. This depended both on the core leader of the team and whether the team members could unite. He could see that Shu Qin, as the leader of the caravan, protected the members like a family elder. However, along the journey on Infinity, it was impossible for him to look after every single one. "I welcome everyone to join, but I must say some things upfront. The train is a closed space, not as flexible as cars. Although it feels safer, any problem can cause a chain of trouble." "I know each of your vehicles represents a family or familiar friends, but once you board Infinity, everyone is part of a whole. Thus, I do not like having small cliques or people who do not consider others on board. If such people exist, I will directly kick them off the train, or you can consider this now. After all, once you board the train, many of our vehicles will be abandoned, and there will be no way back." Lin Xian’s words earned approving looks from Chen Sixuan and the others. More people could be added on the train, and these were decisions Lin Xian could make. However, Infinity had relied on the collaboration of all squad members up to this point. Once more people were added, it would form a small society. The train was like a moving city, and if the squad lost its previous closeness, facing danger would be disastrous. Shu Qin nodded at his words, obviously agreeing. She scanned her followers and said, "Captain Lin is asking for your opinions. If you want to join, just speak up." She understood Lin Xian’s intention. Joining a team meant entrusting your life to others. Personal life and death were at stake, and it was not just her decision; the choice lay in everyone’s hands. "I agree, I want to follow Sister Shu Qin onto Infinity!" A seemingly extraverted girl raised her hand first. Lin Xian looked at her; the girl quickly added in a flustered tone, "My My My name is Miao Lu, everyone calls me Lu Lu, I’m in charge of logistics and food in the caravan, and I also know some hygiene and nursing." "I agree too!" The short young man who had opened the door also shouted loudly: "Lv Chang, I’m not skilled at many things, but I can run fast and shoot accurately." "There’s me too!" "My name is He Fang." "Zou Yunyao." "Zhou Yixuan!" "The Zhong Jiahao family agrees as well!" "Me too!" Everyone began to respond in unison, and Lin Xian listened intently to each introduction, getting a better understanding. Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, her eyes showing a hint of pleasure. From the first contact with Lin Xian, who had shown cold, decisive characteristics, to experiencing numerous perilous disasters along the way, she could clearly feel that Lin Xian’s philosophy of survival in the apocalypse was constantly changing. In the beginning, he was extremely cautious about boarding and alighting, but now he was willing to accept a team of thirty people, which was enough to show that Lin Xian had grown significantly more resolute. "Lin Xian." Chen Sixuan looked around and asked, "What’s our plan now?" "Let’s leave the city first." Lin Xian decisively said, "Initially, I wanted to overhaul the train in Jiazhou City, but looking at the current situation, we can only leave the city as soon as possible and shake off these crows first." Originally, he saw the bright sunshine in Jiazhou City and prepared to upgrade Infinity here. At Yu Bei Airport, he scanned robots and conveniently obtained some useful component blueprints. For example, the airport’s automatic explosion-proof doors, the Sentry Monitoring system of the traction device, and the lift base of the repair workshop, etc. With these items, he could design a special carriage as a weapon station, spend time manufacturing a 1130 Close-in Weapon System, and even build an engineering robot to help with precise welding and maintenance of the ammunition supply chain. However, these plans had to be disrupted with the sudden appearance of crows filling the sky. Even massive transports like Silver Star and Dragon Mountain No.1 didn’t stay here, one can imagine how troublesome these crows could be after nightfall. Therefore, Lin Xian planned to directly tow away the two trains that Shu Qin found in this repair workshop and escape the city to get out of danger first. "Then we will also drive and follow your tracks!" Shu Qin said. Lin Xian nodded, for now, they could only leave Jiazhou City like this. Only one carriage on the train was usable for vehicles, the other two trains being passenger and freight types, it was impossible for so many people to abandon their own vehicles and flee on Infinity. "Everyone get ready, we’ll depart in 30 minutes." Lin Xian immediately arranged. "Okay," everyone responded in unison. A tense atmosphere began to spread. Lin Xian immediately started to unload the lifting maintenance locomotive and attached it behind Infinity, convenient for later assimilation and modification of the trains. After all this, Lin Xian returned to the train, at this moment, Director Ding called him to Carriage 3 via the communicator. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What’s wrong?" "Two issues, I need to synchronize with you." Ding Junyi was currently engrossed in using a microscope for observation, and without turning her head, she said to Lin Xian, "This type of parasite clearly fears light and fits the characteristics of the night Abnormal Body; it has no visual system." "If it leaves the crow carrier and is exposed to sunlight, its activity will rapidly weaken." "You mean that these Zombie Crows will be more threatening in the night." Lin Xian knew his guess was correct. "Yes, during the night, these black nematodes use crows as carriers to attack the Survivor Caravan, and then detach onto the vehicles, quickly piercing through the vehicles to devour the people inside." Lin Xian furrowed his brow: "What do you mean it can devour everything?" "From the current marks on the portholes, the devouring power is strong; our train’s high-intensity alloy may be a bit slower, but if there are too many of these worms, it will definitely pose a great hidden danger to us." "I didn’t expect it to be so troublesome." "There’s also good news," Ding Junyi continued calmly, "aside from lacking sight and smell, able to track prey solely through air vibrations or sounds, I’ve also just found its second weakness." "What weakness?" "Fire." Ding Junyi turned back to look at him: "Afraid of light and fire, I cut a segment for a splitting experiment and found that it has some combustible material within. If ignited, it might result in an explosive reaction." Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately understood, "That’s definitely better than using guns." "What’s the second issue?" Lin Xian continued. Ding Junyi raised her hand pointing to the right side where a Plant Cultivation Chamber was placed, emitting a deep red glow from Hell Black Chrysanthemum. "I’ve been keeping an eye on the growth situation of the No.1 Blood Calamity Disaster Plant; it has undergone two changes in a short period." "One after we escaped from Underground City No.9." "The other just last night."
