I Have a Job

Chapter 268 Doomsday Train

"Hehehe~ I'm speaking from the heart. Which woman doesn't like heroes, right?" Monica winked at Lin Xian and said with interest,

"By the way, Captain Lin, there are some minor problems on my train. I heard that you have mechanical skills. I wonder if you can help?"

"Minor malfunction?" Lin Xian said, "Since it's a minor malfunction, no one else can fix it?"

Shi Diyuan just mentioned that the other party was a highly automated weapon-grade train. He didn't believe that the people who drove such a train on the road didn't know how to deal with minor faults. There were many engineers on big guys like Longshan No. 1 and Yinxing, and now there was no environmental dilemma in Xilan City that Longshan No. 1 had encountered before. What kind of minor faults couldn't be repaired?

Monica put the wine glass on the table and snapped her fingers. At this time, a younger brother standing behind her wearing thick glasses quickly handed over a mobile terminal.

Lin Xian took it and took a look. After a while, his brows slightly raised. On the mobile terminal was the situation blueprint of Monica's train and the fault information of various systems. The first thing that surprised him was Monica's train, which made him feel like seeing the Silver Star again.

But Monica's train has only 8 carriages, and the entire train is highly intelligent, like an integrated land mobile battleship.

Energy compartment, power compartment, integrated power system for the whole vehicle, 42 automatic machine guns, situational sensing for the whole vehicle, multi-band radar, fire extinguishing system, deicing system, air defense system, all-round close defense denial electric field...

A train of more than 200 meters long requires less than 5 people to fully control it. The rest are Monica's combatants and logistics maintenance personnel. The sturdy interior space is simply the doomsday shelter that countless people dream of, and it even has automatic air circulation and so on.

Lin Xian's eyes lit up, he had thought about these things before, but Monica's train was manufactured in an integrated manner, which was completely different from his Infinity train which was modified from an ordinary train car. It was obvious that it had cost a huge amount of money to build.

"This train seems to be designed specifically for the end of the world..."

Monica seemed to see Lin Xian's confusion. She smiled and said directly without any concealment, "The Doomsday Shift that Cole Group once created was a gimmick in conjunction with the military. It's a limited edition at 2 billion. It's my 18th birthday present."

A 2 billion birthday gift?

When the others heard this, their faces suddenly became strange, but Qian Dele glanced at her calmly: "Oh~ Who said before that this was the gift you disliked the most, but now it has become your life-saving treasure."

"Hehehe~ There's nothing I can do~"

Monica showed a helpless smile: "At this time, of course, staying alive is the most important thing~"

Lin Xian figured out that this Monica was the daughter of a wealthy family before the apocalypse. He knew that the wealthy liked to build doomsday fortresses and survival capsules because they always had a strong sense of crisis. In the eyes of the rich, nuclear war, flood, and doomsday were not impossible. With their huge wealth, technology companies saw this and built these doomsday survival vehicles to make money or create hype.

But no one expected that this kind of thing would actually come in handy. At this moment in Xilan City, Monica's "Queen Mo" could be regarded as a fortress-class vehicle that everyone in Taiwan coveted, with powerful firepower and a full sense of security.

However, when Lin Xian saw the fault information on the train, he couldn't help but frown.

The problems on the Queen Mo are similar to those on the Longshan No. 1. The most important thing is that there are more than one fault, and they are almost all concentrated in the drive components, power components and even the nuclear power energy core. These problems seem to be irreversible failures caused by lack of maintenance.

Simply put, many of the components can only be replaced and not repaired.

However, if it is Lin Xian's mechanical ability, although the materials of some components are special, for him it is just a matter of spending more effort, but this is indeed a big trouble for Monica and her team.

First of all, her train is a limited edition. The Cole Group, as a technology company, had gone bankrupt long before the Apocalypse Day. Because it is linked with the military, there is no need to worry about weapon accessories, most of which are standard. But other aspects, whether it is the body, drive, or various designs, are specially made in cooperation with many industries. In other words, there is no substitute at all. In addition, the people on Moni's truck seem to lack professional maintenance capabilities, so this situation gradually turns into irreversible loss.

So Monica's train problem actually seemed to be more serious than imagined, and Monica seemed to know this. When Lin Xian was looking at the mobile terminal, her open-minded and cheerful face revealed a very subtle sense of tension.

Everyone drank in silence, but Monica kept gently shaking her glass and quietly waiting for Lin Xian's response, as if the glass was actually filled with red wine...

"It's not a big problem."

Lin Xian glanced at Monica's movements and handed the mobile terminal over: "But..."

"What?" Monica frowned slightly. Lin Xian's words made her think. "Don't worry about the reward. There's enough blood and sperm."

"That's another story." Lin Xian shook his head.

"The main reason is that I am not free tonight. My own train has not been repaired yet. Maybe after dawn tomorrow, I will have time to help you."

Monica's face relaxed immediately after hearing this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said loudly: "Oh~ So it's this, I thought it was something else, handsome boy, you scared me~"

"It's okay. We have plenty of time now. When you're done with your work, come find me. I can also take you to the city to meet some people."

Shi Diyuan perked up after hearing that, and looked at Qian Dele: "That's great, why don't we go to the Michelle Church tomorrow to find the Night Walker Organization to test our abilities and see the world. We can also grow up and be more skilled next time we deal with the weird bodies."

"Yes, that's just right. Several people in my team are ready to go."

"Those with superpowers and genetic evolution should all take the test, at least to see for themselves." Ning Jing also nodded: "Even me, I don't know whether I am superpowered or genetically evolved, how I grew, and how to control it. Before, I never thought about this except for escaping and fighting..."

Lin Xian looked at her: "Sister Jing, don't you know which type you are?"

"We don't know~" Shi Diyuan spread his hands: "Her strength is getting stronger, but many genetically evolved physical masters will also be like this, so we can't tell. Now most of the superpowers are crossing the river by feeling the stones. If there is no guidance from the Phoenix Society, who knows what is going on."

Qian Dele crossed his fingers and said in a sissy tone, "My speed is simple, but I don't know what the use of this level assessment is. I'll know if I can beat the strange body after a try. Does it mean that if my test level is stronger than the strange body, I will definitely not die? This is not a poker game. There are many people with special abilities who die in the dark."

"You are right."

Ning Jing agreed, "But I think this assessment level should be used by the Phoenix for observation. Comparatively speaking, those who have survived to this day will have a higher level of evolution. Of course, it is also a factor of weapon firepower. As an official organization, they may use it to assess survival rates or find the limits of human evolution. If we can understand this aspect more and be more proactive, and enhance our own strength, we can also increase our survival rate."

"For example, at what stage can one survive longer in the dark?" Monica drank half a glass of wine and said, "That makes some sense, but no one knows the logic of the dark monsters' appearance. Who knows if they are encountering a C-level monster or an S-level monster?"

"Never mind, just take the test. Let's understand our own abilities first."

Shi Diyuan said in a serious voice, "Now these ghosts dare to run out in the daytime. If they really reach the polar night, it will probably be a riot of demons. If we want to study those monsters, we have to live until then."

Lin Xian nodded, drank the wine in the glass, felt a surge of heat, and immediately put down the glass and said,

"That's it for now. I still have to go fix the car. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

After everyone had a general understanding of the situation in Xilan City, the tense feeling of escaping the line between life and death was relieved a little with the strong liquor. However, Lin Xian was not prepared to drink and chat all the time. He had encountered sudden crises countless times. Even if he wanted to take a break, he had to prepare the train first, otherwise he would be unsure.

Shi Diyuan and Ning Jing actually thought so too. There were a large number of people on Longshan No. 1, and there were also many carriages. No one could sleep peacefully until the safety issue was improved. The chance to survive was reserved for those who were prepared. This was a consensus among almost all survivors in the apocalypse.

"Okay, let's retreat first. The convoy is still a mess, and we won't feel at ease until we finish it." Several other convoy captains were also preparing to leave at this time.

"Handsome~"

After getting off the Longshan No. 1 car, Monica behind him suddenly called out to Lin Xian.

In the snow, the younger brother behind her put a coat on Monica. She walked forward and handed Lin Xian a small communicator: "This is my exclusive frequency band. If you have any questions or needs in Xilan City, you can come to me."

Lin Xian took it in his hand and looked at it, then glanced at her: "I didn't say I could definitely fix it for you."

Monica smiled softly and said, "For a person like you, even just a promise can bring hope to others, and I believe in Lao Qian's judgment. Even if you can't fix it, I still hope to gain your friendship."

Lin Xian was slightly surprised. The tone of Monica's voice was exactly in line with the kind of flattery that one would find in the circle of wealthy people, who are very proud of themselves but do not try to flatter or flatter others.

But he didn't really take it seriously. If he had to say he was interested, it was because he wanted to take the opportunity to understand the design of the train and scan the drawings, which might be of great use to his future plans.

As for the remuneration, that is another matter. His only priority at the moment is to run his own train well.

Lin Xian glanced at her calmly, without saying anything more, and just nodded calmly, "Okay."

"See you tomorrow, I hope everything goes well for you."

As Monica spoke, she glanced at the train behind Lin Xian, then turned around and left.

Late at night, the maintenance work on Longshan No. 1 was still busy. Lin Xian also noticed at this time that it seemed that the repairs on Longshan No. 1 were not ordinary, but a planned installation of some new equipment on some newly installed armor plates and weapon stations.

Many of them were lifted out of the carriages, and even many tools used to maintain the carriages were prepared in advance.

"These are the plans we purchased from Silent City, and they cost us a lot."

In the snowstorm in the distance, Ning Jing, who was directing the carriage maintenance overnight, saw Lin Xian making armor plates on the roof of Infinity and looking at Longshan No. 1, and then walked over to chat with him.

After saying that, she looked at the giant armor plates in Lin Xian's hands with envy in her eyes.

"These factory-standard castings cannot be made without large equipment. Most survivors' external armor is made by picking up ready-made materials and installing whatever they can. Captain Lin, your ability potential is comparable to an industrial chain cluster."

Lin Xian exhaled a breath of cold air and squatted down. He was very interested in the Silent City that Ning Jing mentioned: "I heard that this Silent City has a cooperation with the Phoenix Society. Now it is becoming more and more powerful by producing industrial products in the doomsday?"

Ning Jing nodded and said, "Yes, when Silent City passed by the Wei River before, they had a deal with us. It was there that we obtained some intelligence and learned that the Phoenix Society emergency team that was climbing the elevator also encountered trouble there, so we temporarily changed the route and returned to Hengshan Pass and transferred to Xilan City."

Lin Xian frowned slightly when he heard this, and thought of what Zhou Wuer had said about the incident that happened to Team Leader Bai Shuang. But at this moment, he had a question:

"Passing the Wei River? Does Silent City sound like a convoy?"

Ning Jing looked at him: "No, it's a city, a mobile mechanical industrial city."

"What?!"

Lin Xian was greatly shocked. Didn't he hear before that Silent City was a ship...

Ning Jing seemed to be able to predict Lin Xian's expression, and immediately said: "We were also very surprised when we first met. It is said that the city has the ability to move by land, sea and air. Now it mainly travels through the areas that have not been swallowed by Xingyuan to cooperate and trade with various organizations and alliances. There is a complete industrial system there. It is a mechanical city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. We asked them to modify our strong magnetized all-terrain drive module. In addition, we also purchased a lot of defensive weapons and carriage design plans..."

"A mobile arms dealer?" Lin Xian was a little surprised: "Interesting."

Ning Jing shrugged and said helplessly: "The whole world is already like this. All the wonders are created just for survival. Even the floating city may not be safe. However, industrial products have indeed become scarce now, and they are also essential for survival. That's why I said that your ability is comparable to an industrial chain cluster and has huge potential."

"Potential has to survive to be useful."

Lin Xian did not comment and continued to make armor plates. "Our current weapons are still barely enough to save our lives, so it's not a question of quantity, but quality. For darkness, it's the unknown, the generation gap, and it's a problem that cannot be described, understood, or solved."

Ning Jing's eyes turned complicated as she took a deep breath, "...I hope we can find a way out before humans disappear."

...

Lin Xian did a simple calculation and found that there were more than 30 armor plates that needed to be removed from the entire train. Except for the top one which did not need to be replaced for the time being, he planned to replace all the plates on both sides with new ones. In this way, the entire train would be an integrated armor plate with a fully sealed structure.

The car windows and doors can be opened automatically, and the protection can be improved by several levels after the upgrade.

In addition, Lin Xian also scanned the arc pulse string vibrator that Longshan No. 1 gave them. He planned to copy it and then apply it to all the carriages. This way, there would be an effect similar to the all-round close defense denial electric field on the "Queen Mo". Coupled with the electric blade armor system, the entire vehicle's external protection would have attack means, and there would be room for breathing when facing the monster tide.

Then there are the equipment inside the car, which have also been put to a great test in the extremely cold weather, including the heating system, de-icing, circuits, cars, etc. The most important issue is the overall drive problem.

Lin is now having a headache about the driving problem. This modification is a particularly complex and huge project. It sounds hopeless to just rely on his hands to do it. His teammates on the Infinity, including Dalou and others, can help with welding, disassembly, and maintenance, but if they want to solve the modification of the entire vehicle, it is simply not feasible.

This kind of major modification is no less than rebuilding the train. Lin Xian thinks that perhaps finding Silent City for an upgrade is an easy solution. Alternatively, Monica's integrated intelligent doomsday train is also a good idea.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian began to become more interested in Monica's Queen Mo.

"Let's go check it out tomorrow..."

As for the test on superpowers conducted by the Night Walker Organization, Lin Xian promised Zhou Wuer that he would go. He also felt it necessary for the other people on the train to go and take a look. Lin Xian was more concerned about whether he could help the team members grow. He found that after the transformation of dark power by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, the team members on the train seemed to grow much faster.

Especially for genetic evolvers such as Shuqin, Chen Sixuan, Lu Chang, and Miao Lu, the strength and speed of their physical evolution are astonishing. Take Miao Lu for example, this little girl can even crush Feng Yuming, whom he met in Beiwan County before, with her personal means.

That was an evolved mutant with strange limbs and mimicry. In a short period of time, the speed of human evolution and growth has been increasing at a high speed.

This may also reflect the strong adaptability of human beings in special and dangerous environments.

Bang, bang~

In the specially designed train maintenance shed, new composite armor plates modeled after the arm armor of Unit-01 were manufactured piece by piece by Lin Xian. This kind of armor plate was more difficult to make and required a lot of materials. While Lin Xian's preparation center was converting tungsten-titanium alloy with all its might, the manufacturing work in his hands never stopped for a moment.

But the good thing is that his proficiency in mechanical manufacturing is constantly improving.

[Mechanical Manufacturing Proficiency +10]

[Mechanical Manufacturing Proficiency +10]

...

Mechanical Manufacturing: 4 (766/2000) Improve construction efficiency

Overnight, Lin Xian's mechanical manufacturing proficiency increased by nearly 300 points. He estimated that during the two days of rest in Xilan City, in addition to the armor plates, as long as there was enough time, he could also manufacture another 1130 and G3 rail electromagnetic gun to fill the firepower gap between the front and rear vehicles. At the same time, he would try to develop the missile system so that it could be used as a powerful weapon.

Then comes the manufacturing of power armor. Two more sets can be manufactured for Miao Lu, Lu Chang and others to use. This will not only enhance the strength of the team, but also greatly improve his proficiency in mechanical manufacturing.

In addition, after finding out the situation in the city, Lin Xian also thought that he could do some "arms" business like he did in Hengshanguan before. He could also learn from Silent City. In addition to selling arms and supplies, he could also manufacture some mechanical industrial products or help others repair them in exchange for a lot of supplies and supernatural resources. Now that he has the cold dark reagent, the effect of blood essence has been greatly improved, and he must quickly stock up...

There were more and more things on my mind, and before I knew it, it was already past 8 o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still shrouded in darkness.

The wind and snow gradually subsided, and the sound of artillery fire outside the city in the distance had died down since who knows when. The entire Xilan City fell into an extreme tranquility. Everyone on the Infinity welcomed an extremely peaceful night. This safety came not only from weapons and city walls, but more from the cluster effect.

Seeing tens of thousands of survivors gathered here, it seemed like a safe gathering area after many days of fleeing. Once humans gather into a group, they naturally have a greater sense of security, which is something they don't have when running alone in the darkness.

In carriage No. 1, Chen Sixuan woke up after a night's rest. She had never felt so tired as last night, but now she was full of energy.

After coming out of Jiang City, it was the first time for her to personally participate in a battle like yesterday, where her life and death were hanging by a thread.

After opening her eyes, she immediately turned over from the bed. A feeling of numbness and tightness kept coming over her whole body. Her heart beat strongly. She looked around quickly. After not finding Lin Xian, Chen Sixuan immediately picked up the communicator.

"Lin Xian."

"Are you awake?"

Hearing Lin Xian's reply, Chen Sixuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where are you? I'll be there right away."

After putting on her winter clothes, Chen Sixuan opened the door of the carriage. When she saw the door handle outside the carriage, she stepped on it without thinking and then exerted force with her foot. She actually did a backflip and jumped onto the roof of the car.

Boom!

Chen Sixuan, who had just stood still, had not yet recovered from the shocking action she had made under conditioned reflex, when she saw Lin Xian standing in front of her, looking at her with horror.

"Teacher Chen, how did you get up here?"

Chen Sixuan opened her mouth slightly, frowned, and looked back at the bottom of the car, still a little dazed.

"I thought I was wearing power armor..."

Chen Sixuan said in surprise.

After yesterday's battle, she had already gotten used to the movement mode in power armor, so she performed the actions just now without thinking. But when she heard Lin Xian's surprised words, she realized that she was not wearing power armor at this time.

Lin Xian looked at 'Teacher Chen' who had just jumped three meters into the air, and couldn't help but twitching his eyes.

"Isn't Mr. Chen's evolution speed too fast..." Lin Xian thought to himself. Even he couldn't do such a move without the power armor. "It seems that genetic evolution is not necessarily weaker than that of psychics."

Chen Sixuan clenched her fist with a puzzled look, waved her arms, and said to Lin Xian: "I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, and..."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Xian and frowned, "I can even hear your heartbeat."

Lin Xian looked down in surprise. The two were still two or three meters apart. He was wearing thick winter clothes and the wind was howling outside. In this situation, could her hearing have become so abnormal...

"It seems that not only your athletic abilities have been enhanced, but your senses as well."

Lin Xian took a deep breath at this time.

Chen Sixuan was still a little uncomfortable, and nodded: "It may be related to the battle yesterday."

"Of course." Lin Xian said.

In addition to fighting, there is also the transformation of the power of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum. Facing the monster tide that numbers in the tens of thousands, Lin Xian believes that this will be of great benefit not only to Chen Sixuan, but also to everyone in the Infinity and Longshan No. 1 joint fleet, as long as they survive.
