CHAPTER 415: CHAPTER 266 MONICA

Hiss~

The Mechanical Heart started running as Lin Xian opened the cabin door of the electric locomotive. A strong stench of decay hit him in the face. He frowned, and his mechanical arm automatically mounted a flashlight on his shoulder. Lin Xian climbed into the carriage on the pedal and was shocked to find the narrow cabin of the electric locomotive in complete disarray.

The already decayed corpses of a man and a woman were frozen in ice, looking very eerie.

Lin Xian’s gaze swept across the area and found the narrow cabin filled with garbage from consumed supplies, sleeping bags, blankets, some broken lighting equipment, pots, and pans, among other things.

Judging from the clothes on the two corpses, it seemed that a factory worker couple hid here but had died before the arrival of the Extreme Cold Vortex, their bodies quietly rotting.

The floor was full of medicine boxes, perhaps due to illness combined with hunger; the two bodies were withered and lifeless.

During his journey of fleeing, Lin Xian had seen many such desperate survivors dying. He could only sigh inwardly before instantly activating the Mechanical Heart to start repairing several faults in the electric system and attempt to reactivate the electric core.

Beep, beep, beep.

At this moment, in the cockpit, the lights of various subsystems began to light up, the sound of the engine started to echo slowly, and the frozen for so long iron wheels and brakes began to tremble and wail. The two giant power locomotives started moving.

Clatter~

Snow continuously slid off the train as Lin Xian began driving the two trains backward, quickly stopping them behind the Infinity’s Gemini nuclear-powered carriage.

Many Dragon Mountain No.1 engineers also watched Lin Xian’s actions with interest, surprised to see him bringing back a large haul of electric locomotives.

Lin Xian didn’t directly connect the carriage. He planned to arrange for his team to clean the two driving carriages at dawn before connecting them. For now, he prepared to start manufacturing new composite armor plates.

On the Dragon Mountain No.1 side, many engineers looked at Lin Xian standing on top of the train, not knowing what he was about to do. However, in the next moment, everyone was shocked. Those who were welding steel plates, hoisting materials, and disassembling equipment all stopped what they were doing.

Bouncing, bouncing, bouncing, mechanical brilliance flickered in Lin Xian’s hands as a large amount of materials started flying out, beginning to assemble and forge.

Soon, a lifting frame and assembly canopy began to be created out of thin air, covering the Infinity and shielding it from the howling blizzard.

Meanwhile, on the rail hoisting frame, two track lifting machines rose directly from the ground...

Bam, bam, bam~

On the Dragon Mountain No.1 side, a man struggling to carry a steel frame stood stunned at the sight, the frame in his hand dropping to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Is... did he just create an assembly workshop on the spot?"

"Oh my god, what kind of superpower is this..."

"Amazing!"

"..."

Lin Xian ignored these looks, planning to first manufacture the frames needed for assembly, then sort out the armor plates. The rest could wait until daylight when other team members could help dismantle and repair the carriage body before installation, saving him a lot of time.

Just then, several vehicle headlights lit up in the distance, a few tracked polar cars roared through the snow and wind, speeding toward the cargo terminal.

Buzz, buzz~

Soon, these tracked polar cars stopped in the large square, and Lin Xian scanned the area, noticing Shi Deyuan, Qian Deli, and a group of people in cold-proof clothing disembarking. They were the leaders of several caravan fleets from the previous defense line, and from the back two vehicles emerged a group of unfamiliar people, led by a red-haired woman with impressive stature, wearing high boots that made her appear even taller than most men.

"Brother Lin!"

Shi Deyuan immediately saw Lin Xian busy on top of the train, leading a group of people over energetically.

"Hey, Brother Lin, how did you build a factory in just a little while!!?"

"Not as exaggerated as that." Lin Xian, holding an armor plate, came over, "Brother Shi, who is this?"

"Let me introduce a friend, haha."

Lin Xian couldn’t help but smile wryly at the sight. Shi Deyuan sure had a warm heart, quickly making new friends at every new place.

The woman stood among a group of men, full of aura. She stepped forward, looking up, and the deep eyes beneath her goggles swept towards Lin Xian on the train, sizing him up.

"Brother Lin, I heard from them that it’s safe in the city now, so no need to be on edge. They have a lot of information to share, and knowing you have mechanical superpowers, they’d also like to seek some help from you." Shi Deyuan said broadly.

Lin Xian put down the steel plate in his hand and looked at the woman, "What help?"

"Hello Captain Lin, I’m Monica, interested in getting to know you?" Her voice was bold and full of femininity.

Lin Xian had guessed wrong; this woman, Monica, was actually an old acquaintance of Qian Deli, and another train fleet leader.

Lin Xian nodded at the words, leaping down from the train, "Lin Xian, Unlimited Fleet."

Monica shook hands with him, looking at the steel plate Lin Xian had just dropped, her eyes nuanced, "Mechanical superpower, could it be that you forged this entire train yourself?"

Lin Xian’s expression turned peculiar as he glanced at Shi Deyuan and Qian Deli, wondering how they had introduced him, and thinking, did they want him to build her a train too?
