Chapter 298: Doomsday Train in the Tunnel (Part 2)
Monica just smiled charmingly, glanced at Lin Xian, and without saying a word, she earnestly joined the discussion.
After some deliberation, Infinity managed to acquire a total of 40 Lone Wolf S military rapid response power armor suits, which also included weaponry and power packs.
Originally, everyone wanted Lin Xian to allocate more, but there were only about 30 people on Lin Xian's vehicle, and everyone already had a set. So the extras were effectively to be used for maintenance rotation, though with Lin Xian's mechanical superpower, maintenance wasn't really necessary…
In addition, Lin Xian also requested a Night Navigation Star 3 ultra-cruise flying device and two Doomsday Armored Trucks, which were enough for him. His biggest acquisition this time, however, was the Intelligent Brain - Grace. He was also planning, before evacuating, to dismantle a batch of maintenance robots and various instruments available in the Zero Element Center to distribute among the teams, devouring whatever he could, ensuring that not even a screw was left if time permitted.
The overall plan saw Infinity take nearly 50 people's worth of food supplies, as well as a good amount of red wine, frozen seafood, steak, caviar, frozen chicken, duck, and pork, along with a substantial amount of various rice, flour, oil, sugar, and canned goods. It was indeed a fruitful acquisition.
And just as Monica had said, aside from some upscale foods like red wine, they took nothing else, leaving Dragon Mountain No.1, Joker Team, and Sun to divide the majority of the basic food supplies like rice, flour, and oil.
From the weapons warehouse, Lin Xian secured 40 sets of Star-level III single-soldier weapon systems, Monica took 10 sets for internal upgrades, while Joker Team and Sunshine Team each took 100 sets along with a truck and a flying device, Dragon Mountain No.1 took 350 sets, two armored trucks, and a flying device due to their larger numbers.
The remaining 400 sets of Star-level III single-soldier weapon systems were left for the other 17 teams. Additionally, there were four trucks yet to be allocated by Lin Xian, which would be accounted as part of Infinity's assets for now, with the plan to tow them away.
Upon hearing the news, the several team leaders who followed the Joint Train were all excited. They originally thought they'd be hiding underground, never expecting to gain so much, with the crucial power armors significantly boosting the strength of each team, equipping their primary combat personnel.
"Wow, it's the latest Lone Wolf Power Armor, and plasma pulse guns!!"
"So much advanced food, I never thought we'd be eating rice again…"
"Captain Lin and his team are incredible, being under their leadership feels so reassuring!"
"Are these equipments and weapons really free of charge for us?"
"Nan nan, be good, we have medicine now, and you'll be in less pain soon."
"Lao Li, keep the noise down with armor repairs, we need to be alert for any disturbances in the dark."
"The captain announced that we have canned fruit today…"
"…"
For a while, the 15-kilometer train carriage was filled with a positive atmosphere; countless people held cold lights and formed a long line in the underground tunnel, beginning to transport supplies from the warehouse to their carriages. In each carriage, many excited survivors in their new battle armor were transporting items like ants moving their home.
The teams, following the instructions of leaders like Lin Xian, after completing the supplies transport, began to prepare their trains, fix weapons, and repair the damage from the battle in Xilan City, encouraging their members and boosting morale. Many logistic personnel in numerous teams started lighting cold lights to prepare long-awaited hot meals in the dark.
In this dark, isolated underground tunnel, tens of meters deep, this 15-kilometer-long Doomsday Joint Train cautiously began a period of rest and preparation. The carriages were filled with soft conversations and happiness, and the air was filled with the scent of food.
On Infinity, in Car 6, the dim glow of cold lights gave the compartment a slightly dim atmosphere.
On the table were steaming steaks, Emperor Crabs, fresh vegetable salad with caviar, and simple desserts made with flour and canned fruit, appearing extremely rich.
"Cheers~"
Lin Xian raised a wineglass, toasting softly, "To our countless escapes from death, to every fearless comrade!"
"Cheers!"
KIKI, Chen Sixuan, Shu Qin, Da Lou, Lu Xingchen, Sha Sha, Ding Junyi, Miao Lu, Lv Chang, and all Infinity members excitedly raised their glasses at this moment.
"To Lin Xian!" Chen Sixuan looked warmly at Lin Xian.
"Yes, to Lin Xian!" KIKI chuckled.
"To Brother Lin who piloted the mecha and fiercely defeated monsters!" Sha Sha looked eagerly.
"Brother Xian."
"Brother Lin."
"Captain Lin!"
"Captain Lin!"
"Thank you, Captain Lin!" Xiao Yuan, injured, standing not far from Lin Xian, raised her glass high, looking at him with excitement and eagerness, her whole being filled with vibrant vitality and motivation.
Lin Xian smiled, wordlessly raising his glass, filled with emotion and reflection, drinking with everyone.
"To… surviving!"
…
00:30
The underground tunnel gradually quieted down, leaving only the engineering and maintenance personnel working quietly. They seized this short respite to prepare well, solidifying the train's defenses.
On Dragon Mountain No.1, the sparks from welding guns occasionally flickered in the passage as the hundreds of engineers and maintenance staff worked diligently. Occasionally, when the noise got too loud, all the personnel in a region would stop working in unison, listening carefully and observing, making sure there were no abnormalities before continuing their work.
