Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 408: All Members Receive Mechanical Enhancement!

"It seems the situation on the island is not very optimistic."

The Infinity stopped, and all the team members got off the vehicle and scattered around, looking towards the direction in which the Ring Star Orbit Bridge extended into the island.

"Are these people planning to run towards land?" Shu Qin asked, standing on the roof of the car and looking at the dense mass of corpses stretching out in the distance.

“They probably want to head towards Dawn City,” Chen Sixuan said. “If they go this way, they can reach Yongcheng Port in a day. If they go east, they have to cross tens of thousands of miles of the Pacific Ocean. Although there are sea base stations and Republic Islands along the way, the risk factor may be higher.”

“But these trains clearly all came from Yongcheng Port.”

KIKI looked puzzled: "Is the road blocked? Is there a problem with the ocean section?"

"Probably."

Lu Xingchen descended from the sky on fire, and said with a serious expression, "I have searched the surrounding airspace and found no signs of living people. This place is like a dead city."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Xian and said, "Brother Lin, we'd better check the track conditions before leaving the island."

Lin Xian nodded: "That's what I think too."

“I heard that many train convoys have already headed out to the ocean section and entered Haiyan Island. There are plenty of supplies in the port area here, and with the sea separating them, even land-based convoys can't get here. Logically speaking, apart from the local survivors and the train convoys in the orbit around the planet, there shouldn't be many survivors left.” Qian Dele squatted on the roof of the train, looking at the trains blocking the way ahead, and said, “Although the trains are well-armored and spacious, they also have many limitations. If it weren't for you psychic and mechanical ability users, it would be quite a headache.”

"Look, these trains are all going off the line."

sieve!
A grappling hook swung across, and Xiaoqing and Abai rushed back from the rooftops of the abandoned trains one after the other. They said, "We've checked. The cause of death is mainly mutation. It doesn't seem like an attack by a large, strange entity, but we're not sure whether it's a human-demon or a superpowered thug."

Ah Bai nodded and then said, "I haven't detected any fluctuations in spirit energy or any monster aura in this area, including the sea."

"it is good."

Lin Xian immediately ordered Viola: "Viola, lead the drones to conduct reconnaissance all the way to the east coast estuary, maintain silence, and deploy relay information devices along the way."

Viola understands.

The elegant ballet robot leaped into the air, like the Phantom of the Opera, and swiftly sped towards the distant track with incredible agility, while hundreds of drones, maintaining a neat formation, accompanied it under Viola's control.

Lin Xian checked the time

17:20
He looked at the blocked railway bridge ahead and immediately said, "It's getting dark. Let's first stop in the western coastal city of Rock and spend the night, then see what Viola's reconnaissance report is before making any further arrangements."

"Team Leader Lin," Ning Jing said as she stepped forward, "Should we split into teams and go out to investigate? If there are any safety hazards, we can be prepared in advance."

Lin Xian's expression hardened slightly: "That's exactly what I was planning to do."

After saying that, he turned around and said to everyone, "Since we are an elite team, let's divide the work. Each team will have three to four people. Whether it's reconnaissance or combat, we can cooperate with each other more efficiently."

"Good idea." Qian Dele smiled and said, "Then Captain Lin, you make the arrangements."

Lin Xian nodded and looked at Ning Jing: "Sister Ning, you two are quite familiar with each other, as usual. A Bai is aggressive, Xiao Qing is agile, and I feel more at ease with you in charge."

"Mm." Ning Jing nodded.

"The first team consists of Ning Jing, A Bai, and Xiao Qing, with Ning Jing as the team leader."

"The second team, Qian Dele, Lü Chang, Shu Qin, Luo Yang, you are all very mobile, but you lack long-range attacks. Luo Yang can make up for this."

"For the third team, I'm thinking of having Queen Mo lead the team, along with Da Lou, Sasha, and Ryunosuke. Monica is good at reconnaissance and has a wide range of abilities. Da Lou can handle direct confrontation, Sasha will be responsible for fire support, and Ryunosuke will provide air defense."

"And on the Infinity side, it's still Teacher Chen, Miao Lu, and Xiao Yuan. You can rely on the Infinity's firepower to guard the vehicle. Also, Director Ding and Xiao Tian, ​​they don't need to go out, so they need your protection."

Chen Sixuan nodded upon hearing this: "I understand, don't worry."

"Hey, wait a minute, what about me?" KIKI said at this moment.

Lin Xian said, "You, Shiori, and I are on one team. Shiori is good at reconnaissance, and with the two of us, we can solve a lot of problems."

"Brother Lin!"

Lu Xingchen descended from the sky, looking eager: "Brother Lin, have you perhaps forgotten me?"

Lin Xian replied, "You want to join the team too?"

“Of course.” Lu Xingchen looked back at everyone and found that everyone’s eyes were on him. He immediately said, “Although I like to bask in the sun, now everyone has a responsibility for the survival of mankind. As the God of Fire descended to earth, I should naturally stand up.”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Mo Xiaotian poked his head out from the car door: "Master, I'll go with you too."

"Go away~" Lu Xingchen winked at him, causing Mo Xiaotian to slink back in again.

"Okay." Lin Xian looked at Lu Xingchen and said with a smile, "Which team do you want to join?"

Lu Xingchen's gaze swept over everyone, then he asked Lin Xian with a look of pride.

"Brother Lin, which team is the most dangerous?"

"Tch." Hearing Lu Xingchen's words, Xiao Qing next to Ning Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Okay! Then I'll join the first team!" Upon hearing Xiao Qing's complaint, Lu Xingchen immediately responded with a stern voice.

At this moment, Xiaoqing frowned and looked over, but Lu Xingchen turned to the side with his hands behind his back, ignoring her gaze with an air of superiority, seemingly intending to provoke her.

Lin Xian smiled and said, "Okay, then you can join Sister Ning's team."

"By the way," Lin Xian looked around at everyone, "Since we're an elite team, I, as a mechanical ability user, have also prepared gear for my team."

After he finished speaking, he pointed his finger, and a huge mechanical door in the sky slowly opened. Dozens of super armors with different designs and surging energy flew out and landed directly in front of everyone.

Everyone's expression changed immediately upon seeing this, because these suits of armor were all expensive interstellar-grade armor, representing almost the highest level of human power armor technology. Each one was equipped with a miniature cold fusion power core, a fully enclosed survival system and a flight propulsion system. In addition, their defensive materials were also top-notch, possessing formidable bulletproof and pressure-resistant strength.

"Wow, you made so many?" KIKI was quite surprised when she saw them. "Were these made especially for everyone?"

"I guess so," Lin Xian said. "I made some improvements based on each member's situation and abilities. I started building these after Dawn City ended."

"That's quite a generous gesture," Ning Jing exclaimed in surprise.

"As expected of a mechanical superhuman~" Qian Dele also said.

"Let me give you a brief introduction."

"Ah Bai, wear this set." Lin Xian placed a specially modified black power armor set next to Ah Bai: "This set was specially designed for your laser eyes. You can release it without taking off the power armor. Its defense and mobility can reach F level. It can also enhance your sensory perception. If you are proficient in using it, you will be able to act independently on many occasions."

"Huh?" Ah Bai stared in surprise at the special power armor in front of him, a little taken aback. Then, hearing Lin Xian's words, he instantly understood, his face lighting up with excitement, and he quickly nodded.

“Okay, that’s great, yes… I…” He looked at everyone nervously, did some mental preparation, and then said, “I can be of great help.”

"You've already been a great help," Lin Xian smiled slightly. "I'm giving you this to make you safer."

Ah Bai nodded repeatedly. He slowly took off his sunglasses, his pale eyes looking at the black armor in front of him, and his breathing became heavier.

"Xiaoqing, this Phantom 01 suit you uses has average defense, but very strong mobility. I've added four sets of extreme propulsion devices to it, so it should suit you very well."

"Thank you, but I really don't need anything too bulky."

Xiaoqing looked at Lin Xian, a hint of gratitude appearing on her indifferent face. She bypassed Brother Huo and accepted the impressive armor without hesitation.

Lin Xian then said to Ning Jing, "And Sister Ning, this Executor X1 is based on the Executor X0, with some modifications to the armor and cushioning of the arms. Because you are quite strong, I made many changes."

Ning Jing's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, saying, "Very good, it's the style I like."

"Hey, Lin Xian, are you equipping the whole group?" Qian Dele squatted on the roof of the car with a curious look on his face. "Is there anything for me?"

“Yes.” Lin Xian nodded: “I made one for everyone, except for Ryunosuke.”

He turned to look at Ryunosuke at the back of the crowd, smiled and said, "The one you're wearing was specially made for you by Shinji Mochizuki, so I didn't prepare anything else for you. But if it gets damaged or needs an upgrade, I can take care of it for you."

Ryunosuke nodded in thanks.

"Qian Dele, you'll be paired with Shu Qin and Lü Chang from now on," Lin Xian said to Qian Dele. "Your speed is too fast, so you can only use the Nano Armor Starry Sky T1. Its advantage is that it's very flexible, but its disadvantage is that its energy level is a bit lower. However, it's fine for going up into the sky and down into the sea."

As he spoke, he placed the two suits of armor in front of Qian Dele and Lü Chang, and said to Lü Chang, "Lü Chang, you, Qian Dele, and I are using the same Starry Sky T1 suit. It's highly intelligent. I've upgraded your chain device to a plasma clusterer, which is very powerful. Be careful."

"Great!"

Lü Chang's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Captain Lin."

Qian Dele looked at the armor in front of him, a smirk playing on his lips, and asked Lin Xian, "Does it have an air conditioning system and a fragrance system?"

"of course."

"Perfect!"

Qian Dele accepted it with satisfaction.

"Shuqin, Teacher Chen, Miaolu, Xiaoyuan, and KIKI, I have prepared standard Executor X0s for you all. However, except for KIKI's set, I have made some improvements to the others based on your evolutionary characteristics and abilities. Shuqin's set has improved mobility and defense, and also added a multi-firepower system. Teacher Chen and Miaolu's sets mainly enhance enemy perception. Xiaoyuan's set has incorporated the Infinite's firepower remote control module. Since you, Miaolu, and Teacher Chen will mainly be carrying out operations around the Infinite and will also be responsible for protecting Director Ding, I will entrust the Infinite's firepower to you and Sasha. Teacher Chen and Miaolu will be responsible for sniping. Unless there are special circumstances, you do not need to go out for reconnaissance."

Chen Sixuan nodded: "You've thought of everything quite thoroughly."

"Teacher Chen, it's time to replace your Meteorite No. 3."

Lin Xian smiled at her, snapped his fingers, and suddenly two drones carrying a silver sniper rifle slowly flew over and landed in front of Chen Sixuan.

"This is called Night Hunter. It was modified by Shinji Mochizuki using the anti-air weapon Silent Hunter combined with a plasma restraint device. I further modified it, and this weapon is more powerful than a pulse cannon. It can be seen as a handheld railgun. However, since it is an energy weapon, it has no recoil."

"But……"

Chen Sixuan stared in astonishment at the gigantic sniper rifle in front of her, which was almost two meters long; it could hardly be called a gun anymore.

That looks like a naval cannon.

Is this a gun?

"I guess so." Lin Xian pondered for a moment: "As for the weight... 213KG is quite heavy, but if you wear the power armor I prepared for you, it won't be a problem at all."

“Alright.” Chen Sixuan glanced at Lin Xian and smiled slightly. “Then I’ll use this to protect you… from now on.”

"Wow, that's great! What cool armor! Xiaoyuan, look! Captain Lin prepared one for us too!" Miao Lu exclaimed excitedly as she saw the armor in front of her, her eyes brimming with joy and anticipation.

Xiao Yuan immediately responded to Lin Xian, "Thank you, Captain Lin. We...we will definitely protect Infinite!"

"213KG?! That's a cannon!" Sasha's eyes widened, then she said to Lin Xian, "Brother Lin, what about me?"

Lin Xian looked at the violent little girl who liked to study weapons: "You? You drive this one, and you're in charge of firepower."

slap~
He snapped his fingers, and immediately a uniquely shaped aircraft flew out from the Black Star Forge. The aircraft had a bizarre design, resembling a floating arsenal. In front of the three thrusters was a control panel that was directly suspended in the air. Sasha only needed to wear power armor to connect and directly operate the several cannons and two plasma high-energy pulse ray guns in front of it, making it look like an externally connected mobile flying cannon.

"What is this, a mecha?" Shu Qin and the others were also puzzled when they saw it, after all, this thing looked really strange.

“Strictly speaking, this is a semi-mecha,” Lin Xian explained. “Mechas have limited mobility, and power armor has limited firepower. So this thing combines the advantages of both, allowing Sasha to wear power armor to operate this externally armed ship. It can achieve both flight maneuverability and firepower… it’s extraordinary.”

"Wow…………………………………………"

When Sasha saw this, her eyes sparkled: "I can fly in it now."

"Lin Xian, what model is this? I've never heard of it before."

“This is the prototype of the floating bomber that Silent City is researching.” At this moment, Ryunosuke, who hadn’t said much, suddenly spoke up: “Shinji modified it from the blueprints of the high-altitude unmanned bomber from Seika. At first, we wanted to make it intelligent, but this plan was too radical, and we were worried that it would cause more trouble in the air, so this thing was temporarily replaced by other drones.”

"what?!"

"bomber!!"

Luo Yang exclaimed in surprise, "Is that a bomber mech?"

"I suppose so." Lin Xian cleared his throat. "The blueprints Shinji Mochizuki gave me had so many interesting things in them. I thought this thing was very much in line with Sasa's style, so I tried to build one. I wonder if Sasa..."

I absolutely love it!

Sasha shouted and rushed over to give Lin Xian a big hug. Then she immediately climbed onto the bomber mech and began to study it with great excitement.

Seeing that Sasha was satisfied, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello~"

At this point, KIKI became unhappy, crossed her arms and flew over, saying, "Why do theirs all have improvements? Sasha even has a bomber, but I only have the standard version?"

“You don’t engage in close combat, so the power armor is mainly for your defense.” Lin Xian replied with a smile, “I had Viola set up special frequencies on all the power armors, and I also upgraded the blood essence communicator, which has a communication range of at least 20 kilometers during the day and can coordinate relays. That’s the most important thing.”

“But…” KIKI was speechless for a moment, her cheeks puffing out immediately: “Lin! Xian!”

"Don't worry, I've prepared this for you."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly, then snapped his fingers. The mechanical door of the Black Star Forge opened, and a black spherical floating aircraft landed out. Multiple hatches opened, and the entire interior of the aircraft was covered with countless thin, blue electric blades, like the wings of a cicada, which were being charged by the power supply and emitting bursts of azure fluorescence.

"This aircraft is a modified Hummingbird large drone. It can store 2000 VK electrocution knives and can accompany you in flight. Most importantly, if you get tired, you can sit on it and rest." Lin Xian pointed, and a chair mysteriously rose from the top of the spherical airship...

Then, Lin Xian raised his hand and a miniature control device flew into KIKI's hand.

"Once you put this on, you can control the entire Hummingbird device to follow you. It can be installed on your power armor later."

When KIKI saw the earphone-like receiver, she almost burst out laughing. This wasn't a receiver at all; it was clearly something Lin Xian had specially made for her because she liked the purple earphones...

She put it directly on her head, looked at Lin Xian with a squinted smile, and said, "Okay, that's more like it. I accept, thank you~"

Lin Xian smiled and then said to the rest of the people, "The building is already in place. Luo Yang, Director Ding, and Brother Huo are all wearing interstellar standard nano armor. Luo Yang's shockwave eye doesn't need any special settings, so we didn't make many modifications."

"It's alright, Captain Lin, this suit of armor is perfect enough on its own!!!" Luo Yang said with fervor.

“Monica.” Lin Xian looked at Queen Monica, who was standing gracefully at the back of the crowd in her action suit, and said, “The suit I prepared for you is also made of nanotechnology. Its functionality has not been specially improved, and its mobility and defense are average. Apart from some basic weapons, it is not equipped with many other features.”

"Is this how you're going to get rid of me?" Monica smiled sweetly.

"However, this suit of armor has an adaptive adjustment and a defensive surface light-sensing DIY system. You can change the color of the outer armor and adjust the comfort of the inner lining according to your needs. I noticed that you had a special inner lining when you wore power armor before, so I took into account your possible needs in this regard."

Monica's gaze sharpened slightly as she looked at Lin Xian, then a slight smile appeared on her lips as she said with considerable satisfaction, "A very constructive feature, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Lin Xian."

Just then, Chen Sixuan suddenly called out to Lin Xian. He turned around and saw that Teacher Chen's gaze swept over Shiori, who was standing timidly behind the crowd: "Didn't you prepare anything for Shiori?"

"Who said that? I've already prepared." Lin Xian immediately said, "Shinji Mochizuki entrusted Shiori and Ryunosuke to me, so of course I had to prepare. It's just that I already have Ryunosuke, and as for Shiori..."

“It’s okay, I have power armor just like Ryunosuke, no… no need for special preparations,” Shiori stepped forward and said timidly.

“It’s different. Your superpower is very powerful, and ordinary power armor would have difficulty protecting you. We’re at sea right now, so I prepared this for you.”

Lin Xian turned around, and at that moment, a power armor with a very unique, even somewhat cute, design flew over automatically...
