Chapter 1 Infinite Train Plan
Jiangshi, afternoon, the breeze is warm.
A subtle glare flickered on the balcony of a high-rise apartment. The man raised his head to look at the direction of the sun, then looked at the time on his watch, and then closed the hood of the astronomical telescope.
In the distance of the sky, the city under the clouds was deathly silent, while in the sky, the huge mass of clouds was like a mountain, standing still.
Didi, beep, the watch beeped.
It’s 17:00 in the afternoon, and there’s still an hour and a half until dark.
The man pulled up an iron chain, and a special alloy iron gate was raised outside the original floor-to-ceiling window, and the light in the room was gradually swallowed up.
Sunlight pours into linear light strips through the gaps in the alloy plates, reflecting the living room filled with supplies.
Buzz buzz~
A strange sound sounded, and the man stopped what he was doing and listened.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
He took his self-defense knife and stuck it on his waist, then carefully went out and climbed up the stairs to the rooftop.
A helicopter flew in from a distance at low altitude, and the sound of its huge rotors gradually became deafening.
Whoops!
The man took out a long water pipe from somewhere, with an orange rag tied to the top, and quickly waved it towards the helicopter.
On the helicopter, the girl wearing headphones saw the orange color and silently rubbed her fingers through the window.
"Mr. Wen?"
The captain in the front row also saw the orange color on the roof at this time, and turned around and asked tentatively.
The man called Mr. Wen was a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. He glanced out the window and closed his eyes with an indifferent expression, "What a whimsical thing, who cares about the life and death of these poor ghosts!"
The captain was silent.
The middle-aged man noticed the girl's gaze and said loudly, "What, are you overflowing with sympathy?"
"Remember, they are different from us. If the world ends tomorrow, we will be the last ones to die. Do you understand?!"
"嘁~"
The girl looked coldly and looked out the window, showing disdain for the middle-aged man's words.
Woo~
Above the sky, helicopters roared past.
The man on the rooftop in the distance looked at this scene and put down the long pole with a leisurely look.
"Your uncle, what a great plane, what a pity..."
……
Woohoo!
A few minutes later, a rapid siren suddenly sounded on the helicopter.
"Danger of Stalling-Danger of Stalling"
"What's wrong!!"
"The lift suddenly lost, it may be due to an unknown cyclone." The young co-pilot's expression changed drastically, and he anxiously maintained his flying attitude.
The sudden situation made everyone panic.
"We are in the air. Did we encounter something ghosty in broad daylight?" The originally calm middle-aged man in the back row was the first to shout.
The captain looked at the airborne radar but found nothing unusual. At this time, the light in the cab suddenly changed and seemed to be covered by shadows. He noticed something and quickly raised his head to look up into the sky.
This sight immediately made his pupils shrink, and his whole face turned pale.
I saw a strange black shadow looming in the huge clouds above my head, covering the sky and the sun!
The clouds are rolling and the wind is blowing!
The helicopter was captured by a huge suction force and was rising uncontrollably.
"warning! warning!"
"Oops! Captain! What to do!"
The co-pilot, who was still confused, looked at the captain in panic, but found that the other man was attracted by something at this time, so he also followed his gaze.
The thin clouds continued to disperse, and as the altitude continued to climb, the two people in the cab finally saw the black shadow in the clouds clearly.
The black shadow in the clouds turned out to be... a huge humanoid mummy!
The humanoid mummy is floating in the clouds at a downward angle, blocking the sky and the sun. Only most of the torso exposed by the clouds is at least more than 10 kilometers in length under visual observation!
The floating giant corpse is motionless. At first glance, it looks like a floating continent. It is gray and black. You can even clearly see the dry skin folds like deep valleys. The dark and empty eyes are lifeless and strange. The sense of oppression just floats high in the sky above the city.
"Ahhhh~!"
At this moment, screams suddenly erupted from the out-of-control helicopter!
The girl in the back row turned pale, and her pupils were gradually invaded by darkness.
The hurricane tore the fuselage of the helicopter, and this industrial product weighing several tons was like a speck of dust in the air.
The invisible suction force swallowed it up in an instant, and soon it disappeared into the clouds and disappeared.
On the rooftop in the distance, Lin Xian looked at this scene with a gloomy expression.
Buzz~
At this time, a mysterious light flashed on the skyline. Lin Xian reacted, spat "grass", and then immediately set off back to his residence.
Close the window shutters, spray deodorizer in the corridor, and close the iron door.
Wait for the night to come.
Didi, didi.
At 18:45 sharp, a mysterious light flashed for the second time outside the window, the sun set, and the entire city was swallowed up by darkness.
In the city under the dark curtain, eerie whispers sounded in the dark alleys, and piercing roars echoed in the darkness. Terror is coming, and weirdness is coming!
inside the house.
The record player was playing soft jazz. Lin Xian was wearing an apron and slowly opened a can of beans in the kitchen. On the electric stove, the tomato and beef brisket soup was filled with an alluring aroma.
A green coriander on the chopping board is a reward from the Rooftop Botanical Garden today. On days like this, green always makes people feel happy.
Scatter the chopped coriander into the pot, leaving even a small piece on the kitchen knife.
Outside the window is a hopeless and empty night, there is some kind of pacing sound coming from under the floor, and there seems to be something strange breathing deep in the dark corridor...
As if he was used to it, Lin Xian prepared the dinner with a calm face and ate quietly under the candlelight.
"The sunrise time has been extended to 12 o'clock, and there should be less than 5 days left before the next polar night."
At the table, Lin Xian was eating and recording something in his diary.
The main function of the battery and generator in the storage room is to keep the refrigerator working, as well as the alarm system.
The lighting is a hindrance. After all, the lights under a dark city will undoubtedly turn his shelter into a guiding beacon.
After dinner, Lin Xian began to sort out today's harvest.
"Two cans, two bottles of water, oh, and a pack of expired potato chips..."
The strange thing is that the food and water in the huge backpack do not occupy much, but the rest is some strange sundries.
A few broken cell phones, a stereo, a bad razor, and a hair dryer.
These wastes are absolute treasures in Lin Xian's eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth and put his hand on the speaker. Suddenly, a weak fluorescence appeared on his hand and in his pupils. His hair moved automatically without wind, as if there was a strange power. After a while, the fluorescence disappeared, and The speaker he touched suddenly decayed into a handful of brown ashes and fell to the ground.

The familiar light screen lit up in front of his eyes, and Lin Xian was delighted. He didn't expect that a broken speaker actually gained 1 point of strength improvement.
Don't underestimate the strength attribute of this point.
Since his strength was upgraded from LV.0 to LV.1, his whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes.
He used to be just a college nerd with thin arms and legs, who struggled to carry a bucket of water. But now, he can almost complete a hundred one-handed push-ups in one breath. The transformation is so drastic that it is staggering.
At first, Lin Xian thought that his ability was useless, but now he feels more and more that his ability has a lot of potential. If his strength and speed can continue to be upgraded, then he will probably not lose to those with his own combat ability in the future. A person with mutated physical abilities.
[Successful swallowing, mechanical source point +1]
[Successful swallowing, mechanical source point +1]
The following broken mobile phones did not show attribute values.
"It seems that we need something with more power to bring better results..."
He sighed. He had tried to devour car engines before, but he only succeeded once. That time, he directly increased the mechanical source points by 20 points and received 5 attribute bonuses.
But now the reason why he chose to start with these small things and still get the apartment back was simple.
The larger the mechanical structure, the longer it will take for him to devour it, and it will consume a lot of energy.
That time when he swallowed the car engine, it was like encountering a terrifying ghost hitting the wall. Not only did it take more than an hour, but it also almost made him exhausted. Lin Zheng was really glad that he was not eaten by zombies or corpses in that situation. Being bitten to death by a ghost can be regarded as smoke rising from the ancestor's grave.
Since then, Lin Xian has fully understood the truth that he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he adheres to the belief of safety first and survival in a moral way.
However, what he didn't expect was that after he swallowed the hair dryer, the light curtain in front of him suddenly flashed with golden light.
[Successful swallowing, mechanical source point +1, mechanical swallowing skill proficiency +1, additional reward: you get the wind cannon skill! 】
[Wind Cannon LV.1, condenses air at the fingertips and shoots it out instantly, causing certain damage. 】
"Skills?!"
Lin Xian's pupils shrank. This was the first time he had obtained a skill from mechanical devouring.
"I didn't expect that swallowing ordinary things can actually produce skills?"
Hair dryer...air cannon? ?
What kind of logic is this?
Lin Xian suppressed his excitement, condensed his thoughts, raised his fingertips, pointed at the sofa in the distance, and pointed lightly!
cluster!
There was a very subtle sound of breaking through the air, and the pillow on the sofa seemed to be hit by something transparent, and suddenly exploded, and the cotton wool inside scattered out like snowflakes!
"What a fool!"
Lin Xian's heartbeat accelerated. He had deliberately not used too much force or air just now, just because he was worried about causing too much noise. At this time, he simply tested it and thought that if he used it with all his strength, it would still be lethal to a certain extent.
……
In 2069 AD, when the Apocalypse came, thirteen "swallowing areas" with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers appeared in various parts of the world, officially called "Star Abyss".
From that day on, "Star Abyss" was like some kind of unknown life form, spreading radiating darkness to the surroundings. It was vividly called "Dark Tide" by the world. Every other day, the area swallowed by the dark tide would expand several times. Hundreds of kilometers, the day begins to shorten, and after reaching a certain cycle, the covered area will enter the polar night!
Under the polar night, climate disasters change, biological infections occur, zombies erupt, and unknown weirdness descends from the abyss!
Humanity is forced to start a great migration to escape the dark tide!
After the end of the world, a small group of people were affected by the radiation in the Annihilation Zone of the Star Abyss and mutated into various powers. This gave these people a great advantage in the test of survival, and Lin Xian was among them. One person.
Soon, survival groups dominated by people with supernatural powers began to form like sparks.
"Jiang City reported that the six monitoring teams in the northwest and southwest have all disappeared. Notify all survivors to flee to the east!"
"The [Oasis] fleet, founded by Brother Liu Wei, a superpower, will depart at 16:00 tomorrow at the Walmart in Baicheng District. It will only accept people aged 16-50 who are in good physical condition. The elderly, young, women and children are not allowed, but if you carry firearms or weapons, Those who have a large amount of supplies can bring one additional family member..."
"[Jiangcheng Bunker] welcomes all superpowers and beauties. We are rooted in the Jiangcheng Military Nuclear Facility Bunker. We have more than three hundred people. We have a clear division of labor and can withstand the polar night..."
"I am in 1304, Block A, in the famous community. I have enough supplies. The house has been specially renovated. I only accept beauties between the ages of 16 and 30. The ugly ones are not allowed..."
"Ananda is the messenger sent by the God of Creation to cleanse the evil thoughts of the world. As long as you have a repentant heart, you can join our Paradise Sect and avoid disasters. Sincerely donate water, food, and pure girls, and the Savior God will be yours. No innocents will be harmed. If you are looking for suffering and salvation, please contact 139..."
"I am Professor Wang from Jiang City Scientific Research Institute. After calculation, Jiang City will be swallowed up by the polar night again in 5 days. This time, there will no longer be a sunrise... Hahahahahaha, it's over, physics... It’s so ridiculous that no one can escape it... Hahahahahaha! ”
In the darkness, Lin Xian slowly adjusted the radio. There were more and more extreme contents. It seemed that after experiencing the first polar night, most of the survivors in Jiang City had fled.
The polar night that lasted for a full twenty-one days has turned Jiang City, which originally had a population of one million, into a hell on earth. And who knows how long the next polar night will last, and whether his supplies will last until dawn?
"Infinite Train Recruitment Plan - Form a fully armed heavy train to rush along the 320,000 kilometers of orbit around the planet!"
Lin Xian turned on his phone and looked at the posts he had posted on the local forum before the last polar night. Most of the few replies in them were yin and yang.
"You've seen too much Snowpiercer..."
"Brother, the global power grid is basically paralyzed. How can we run without power?"
"Even a gas turbine engine consumes at least 50 liters of oil an hour. With so much oil, wouldn't it be nice for me to drive an off-road vehicle?"
"People who live in doomsday will immediately become honest when encountering a broken track..."
"The ideal is full. It is a moving iron fortress, and it is not afraid of a tide of corpses. Unfortunately, fantasy is just a fantasy after all. There are too many unrealistic things."
"Silly 13."
The post stated that he is building a fortress train that includes living carriages, material carriages, medical, planting, energy, production and other functional carriages. He is recruiting members one after another, and the requirements for members are extremely high, or they must have special abilities. Or there are people with professional capabilities who can match these carriages.
A heavily armed and powerful heavy train escapes from the polar night all the way east along the 320,000-kilometer orbit around the star. Even if it stops midway, with its fortress-like body armor, it can resist the tide of corpses and strange attacks in the dark night. !
This is romantic enough and crazy enough!
However, after the polar night, most of the network and power facilities have been paralyzed, and no one has responded to this post for a long time.
In addition to hearing some survivors holding on to the shelter on the radio
The entire Jiang City was lonely.
Please pay attention to the new book and read it!
