Chapter 298: Doomsday Train in the Tunnel (Part 3)
Though the cautious preparation process wasn't very efficient, everyone knew that being in the Extreme Night was a rare chance, so even if there was just one minute, one second, they couldn't waste it, especially in this weird region filled with spore mists. Every repaired armor plate might save a life in a carriage.

Inside the carriage, Lin Xian completed the scan of the newly obtained power armor set. The parameters of this new type of power armor in the latest blueprint were incredibly precise. Lin Xian had already distributed a set to everyone on the Infinity. Everyone was overjoyed and quickly put on the latest battle armor, beginning to adapt to combat modes assisted by an intelligent computer.
For the Infinity, it was undoubtedly a significant power boost. Even Xiao Yuan with a superpower evolution index of only 260 could achieve Vajra Level combat standards by putting it on. However, one person wasn't too interested, and that was Ding Junyi.
For Director Ding, all her current work was research within the train, and Lin Xian didn't need her to join the battle sequence, so unless the situation required it, Ding Junyi didn't need to wear power armor constantly.
Meanwhile, Lin Xian wore it for familiarization. His initial plan was to make and wear Black Hawk Battle Armor because it's more advanced than the Lone Wolf S. However, he needed to quickly make a tow truck to put the truck and Night Navigation Star on the track and also prepare to upgrade and repair the Infinity's air circulation system.
There were many things to do. Lin Xian had previously taken a long nap, so he let Chen Sixuan and others who had been guarding the train rest, while he remained busy in carriage 12.
Another important task was the Intelligent Brain - Grace. For this, Lin Xian called the also rested KIKI, and together they studied how to complete a program rewrite on this mysterious robot.
In the dark carriage 12, only a cold light lamp was placed on the ground, and a few military metal boxes were filled with ammunition Lin Xian had made while multitasking.
At this time, Lin Xian sat in the shadow at the side of the carriage, with a pouty young girl hanging around his neck, her legs tightly wrapped around him, pinning him down while incessantly pecking at his mouth.
Lin Xian, although a bit secretly pleased, felt speechless. After kissing for a while, he pushed her away: "Hey, is this what you meant by keeping watch for me?"
Unexpectedly, KIKI snorted and wrapped her arms around his neck again, pressing her fresh lips against his in a commanding tone, "Don't move, I'm just applying lip balm on you~ don't get the wrong idea."
Lin Xian felt KIKI's awkward but fierce attempt like a wolf pup gnawing, thinking her excuse was too farfetched; she hadn't applied lip balm herself, not to mention, who applies lip balm this way?
They kissed again in the shadows for a while before Lin Xian pushed her away, saying seriously,
"Alright, I have a lot left to do. Our current situation isn't suitable for...uh!"
Before he finished speaking, he was kissed again, and the young girl's embrace tightened with a determined stance.
"Hey!"
Lin Xian's heart sank as he pushed this wolf-like girl away for the third time, loudly saying, "Didn't I tell you that this place isn't safe, it's not the time to let our guard down."
Though there were no Dark Marks nor any enemy incidents in the convoy, in this dark underground tunnel, above was Yijin City like a terrifying vortex, making Lin Xian unable to relax, so he had to hurry. Firstly, securing all the spoils allocated from the permanent warehouse; secondly, dealing with the Zero Element Center's abundant resources; thirdly, although Grace the robot had been forcibly shut down by him, he still felt uneasy about this Intelligent Brain steward with Chu Yan's appearance and odd behavior.
Lastly was the current situation of the Joint Train; 30 hours isn't long or short, unlike usual rest, this disaster-hovering mode rarely puts anyone at ease, the entire convoy must stay on alert, ready to flee.
Lin Xian was worried, but after pushing KIKI away again, he found the young girl suddenly quietened down, sitting on his lap with her head low, thinking about something.
Lin Xian looked down and, in the dim light, saw a shimmer in KIKI's beautiful eyes, her lips tightly bitten. She raised her head with an accusatory gaze towards him,
"Why are you so stupid? Always trying to be a hero and stand out, yet not taking me along. What if you die?"
Lin Xian was taken aback by her words: "I have no choice if it's to let us survive."
"Can't you worry less and let others take over? We can help you too!" KIKI suddenly raised her voice.
"You've all helped me already, Teacher Chen, Shu Qin, Da Lou, Brother Huo, Sha Sha, Lv Chang, Miao Lu, Director Ding, including Xiao Yuan and you. Isn't everyone fighting desperately together?"
"Don't you know everyone is worried about you!"
"I know!"
"Then why don't you apply lip balm? Don't you know cracked lips can easily get infected by zombie virus, turning your hair red, nails green, and even mushrooms might grow on your bottom!!"
