The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

As the Devourer entered Vertical Lifting and Transfer Station No. 11, the track ahead suddenly opened up.

White light shone in concentric circles from the well wall.

It wasn't just ordinary light strips; the entire atrium was powered on simultaneously, casting a cold white glow that clearly illuminated the roof, external ammunition bay, rapid bridging module, and mobile refining furnace.

The sound of steel cable pulleys turning came from above.

Slightly——

Slightly——

The floor of the carriage shook.

Wang Hu looked up and his neck stiffened.

Six giant overhead crane hooks dangled from the depths of the courtyard. The steel cables were frighteningly thick, each one taut with an old, blackened anti-corrosion layer, and dried iron filings and old paint still clung to the edges of the hooks.

The first hook pressed down on the front beam of the Devourer.

The second hook presses against the third guide frame.

The third hook was positioned above the No. 013 wounded ward.

The fourth hook headed straight for anchor number 005.

The fifth hook swings left and right, finding a point of force in the middle of the group.

The sixth hook did not touch the rails or the vehicle body; it bypassed the external ammunition compartment and precisely hooked onto the right-side mobile refining furnace of the Devourer.

The old radio started playing.

"An illegal mobile arms factory has been detected."

"Perform furnace body recycling."

Wang Hu cursed under his breath.

"This time it's being dismantled from the sky."

Su Yuan gripped the steering wheel, his gaze sweeping over the six steel cables, without looking up for long.

The overhead crane didn't just crash down.

Every time the hook descends a certain distance, the steel cable will pause for a short while, the pulley at the top will tighten first, and then the counterweight wheel will rotate back slightly.

This is an old-fashioned heavy-duty hoisting system.

stable.

That's ruthless too.

Tang Lan's voice switched in from channel 013.

"Number 013, secondary securing in the wounded ward, everyone lower your heads, lock the buckles."

Inside Unit 013, the wounded soldiers, still recovering from the explosion in the gun emplacement, were blinded by a blinding white light. Tang Lan grabbed the shoulder strap of the nearest wounded soldier and pressed her hand against the buckle.

"Don't look up. That's not a light, it's a hook."

In the third quarter, the old mechanic held down the cup holder and slapped the lock on the recliner with his other hand.

"All the reclining chairs are locked again. If anyone's buckle is loose, they have to bite it down and keep it in place."

At the rear door of No. 005, a young survivor lay down next to the isolation box, his palms touching the lead sheet, dry sand, and old rubber pads.

"Isolation box No. 005 is normal, the second compartment on the right is untouched. The tail beam is 24.8."

Xiao Huo's screen started turning red.

"Overhead crane lifting point scan complete."

"Target 1: Front beam of the lead car."

"Objective Two: The third guide frame."

"Target 3: The top cover of the wounded ward 013."

"Target 4: Tail anchor coupling No. 005"

Objective 5: Balance point in the middle section of the formation.

"Target Six: Mobile Refining Furnace Shell"

"Warning: The forces at six points are not synchronized. If any car derails, the probability of the coupling breaking increases."

Wang Hu's face darkened.

"Why doesn't it hang the furnace first?"

Xiao Huo lowered his ears.

"no."

"It has to tilt the whole train first."

The broadcast started again.

"Non-standard hoisting unit attached to the rear."

"Luggage car number 005 was carrying prohibited quarantine items."

"It is recommended to uninstall No. 005 and the illegal furnace body."

"Uninstalling this software will ensure the safe passage of the lead vehicle."

On the maintenance platforms on both sides of the courtyard, rows of old cameras lit up with red dots.

They didn't rotate; they were all facing the Devourer.

Wang Hu looked up and glanced at it, his lips twitching.

"Watching a play?"

The next second, all six hooks pressed down simultaneously.

The first hook grazed the front beam guard plate of the Devourer and snapped into the edge of the heavy armor with a loud thud.

The second hook engaged the side lug of the third guide frame, and a straining sound came from the bottom of the carriage.

The third hook did not grab the top of compartment 013 directly, but instead snagged on the outer side of the wounded compartment and attached to the anti-blast armor layer.

The fourth hook is attached to the No. 005 tail anchor sheath, and then suddenly pulled to the upper right.

The rear of train No. 005 was pulled to one side.

The young survivor slammed his chest against the isolation box, biting his lip, but didn't cry out.

"Tail beam number 005: Twenty-seven! Twenty-eight!"

The fifth hook engages the middle section of the side beam between the third section and No. 013, and the sling is tightened.

The sixth hook precisely clamps onto the outer shell of the mobile refining furnace, while the two auxiliary hooks close from both sides to secure the furnace support.

The flame at the opening of the refining furnace on the right side dimmed.

Small red characters are displayed on the screen.

"The external locking pin of the mobile refining furnace is under stress."

"The material supply channel has shifted."

"The maintenance capability of the rapid bridging module has decreased."

"The maintenance capability of external ammunition magazines has decreased."

Inside cell 013, several wounded soldiers were thrown against their harnesses by the vibrations of the slings. Someone groaned, and fresh blood seeped from the bandages on their chest.

Tang Lan pressed down on the man's shoulder.

"Don't move around. If it hurts, bite the cloth."

The third section of the cup holder shook violently, causing the water in the cup to spill out and splash onto the cracked base.

The old mechanic looked grim.

"The third section has a stress of 28.6; if we go any higher, the beam under the recliner won't be able to support it."

On the other side of the tailgate of No. 005, the young survivor's voice was strained.

"Twenty-nine on the tail section! Almost thirty!"

In the control room of Base 04, the veteran engineer stood in front of the main screen, his face extremely grim.

The technician magnified the curves of the six suspension points, and the lines looked like iron wires that had been forcibly separated.

Lu Mingyuan asked, "How long can it hold out?"

The old engineer shook his head.

"This isn't a hanging thing."

He stared at the force lines of the fourth and sixth hooks.

"This is dismemberment."

On the AM relay channel, the old convoy on the edge of the wasteland fell silent.

The fire control officer at the slaughterhouse looked at the screen and his throat moved.

"This station really can't hold up the refining furnace."

The adjutant did not answer.

In the image, six steel cables have already pressed the entire train into a diagonal line.

If the mobile refining furnace is towed away, the mobile arsenal that the Devourer just added will be cut in half. If 005 is pulled off orbit, its tail anchor, isolation box, and denial device will all be destroyed.

The broadcast was neither hurried nor slow.

"The furnace body recycling process has entered the second stage."

Two auxiliary hooks simultaneously clamp the moving refining furnace support.

click!

The first external locking pin was cut off.

Sparks were ejected from the outer beam on the right side.

Wang Hu's eyelids twitched, and he pressed his hand on the main winch.

"I'll bring the stove back!"

"Don't pull."

Su Yuan's voice drowned him out.

Wang Hu's hand froze in mid-air.

Su Yuan stared at the outer beam on the right.

"The beam will break."

The second locking pin was cut by the secondary hook.

The mobile refining furnace is offset outward by half an inch.

The fire pressure in the furnace was low, and the repair fluid pipeline, which had been operating at low power just moments before, slowed down immediately.

The firefighters urgently reported this.

"The supply of materials has been interrupted by 30%."

"Self-test delay of the rapid bridging module".

"Delay in blast protection maintenance of external ammunition magazines."

"Delay in active rail-switching chassis hydraulic pressure compensation".

Wang Hu's jaw tightened.

"It doesn't fight for the locomotive, it fights for the stove first."

Tang Lan spoke in the channel.

"The lead vehicle, No. 013, can hold on for a while, but the wounded hull cannot be lifted by the third hook."

Even old mechanics shout.

"If the third section is pulled another half inch, the bottom beam of the recliner will deform."

At the rear door of No. 005, the young survivor pressed himself against the outside of the isolation box, his shoulder against the corner of the box.

"Number 005 is still a good bet! Don't cut it!"

Su Yuan didn't reply to anyone.

He looked up.

The pulleys of the six overhead cranes are not on the same plane. However, before each hoisting operation, the counterweight rail on the top of the shaft will slightly slip back.

once.

twice.

the third time.

The counterweight falls before the hook tightens.

Half a second off.

Su Yuan raised his hand and tapped the screen.

"Enlarge the swing amplitude of the sixth hook steel cable."

The small fire immediately switched the scene.

The sixth hook is attached to the mobile refining furnace, with the steel cable pressed the deepest by the weight of the furnace. However, before each secondary hook clamps in, the top counterweight rail slides slightly to the left before returning to center.

Wang Hu couldn't understand it, so he could only stare at Su Yuan's profile.

"Boss?"

"Pinkish-gray".

Wang Hu immediately grabbed the lime bag, poked it out of the observation port, and sprinkled some lime directly below the sixth hook.

The dust fell, but instead of being scattered by the wind, it was swirled into a semicircle by the weak airflow below the hook and drifted backward along the outer shell of the furnace.

Su Yuan then said, "Knock on the well wall."

Wang Hu switched to a long hook and reached out to knock on the maintenance beam on the right side of the courtyard.

clang.

clang.

The third time, a very faint echo came from the top of the well.

It is not a single beam.

It is a continuous axis that transmits the information.

Push the small torch's sound wave line onto the main screen.

"Top structure confirmed."

"Six overhead cranes share an old-fashioned balance shaft."

"The counterweight rails are shared."

"The force exerted on the sixth hook affects the overall weight distribution."

Wang Hu's eyes lit up.

"The furnace isn't just suspended by it."

Su Yuan took over.

"The furnace is pressing it down."

The third external locking pin is held in place by the secondary hook.

Just one step away, the mobile refining furnace was about to be cut open from the outer beam of the lead car.

Su Yuan spoke.

"Main winch, hook six open."

Wang Hu immediately cast the hook.

The grappling hook flew up, skimming the white light, and struck the sixth hook's protective plate with its first strike, sending sparks flying. The second strike bypassed the secondary hook and jammed the maintenance lug behind the sixth hook.

"It's hooked! It didn't kill it!"

"Half-beat weighting".

Xiao Huo immediately grasped the rhythm of the top counterweight falling back, delayed by half a beat, and counter-attacked along the main winch cable to the sixth hook.

Heh.

The sixth hook of the steel cable suddenly stopped.

The secondary hook was about to cut the third locking pin, but it couldn't tighten.

Instead of moving the refining furnace further outward, it pressed down on the sixth hook, causing the entire balance shaft to bear a reverse weight.

Tang Lan reacted immediately.

"Number 013 is half-dead!"

The right track of No. 013 engages, and the left track catches up with a half-beat, pushing back the upward force brought by the third hook.

The veteran mechanic roared, "Sink the third guide frame by half an inch!"

The third guide frame clicked down, and part of the tension of the second hook was absorbed by the bottom beam.

At the tailgate of No. 005, the young survivor lowered the silencer.

The heavy object crashed onto the edge of the rail, leaving a trail of sparks, and the No. 005 tail anchor was pushed back to the centerline.

Xiao Huo reports the number.

"Tail beam No. 005 dropped by 27.1 points from 29."

"Casualty compartment No. 013 is descending sideways."

"The pressure on the third section of the recliner lock has returned to green."

In the control room of Base 04, the technician suddenly leaned close to the main screen.

"The sixth hook isn't tightened enough!"

The old engineer kept his hands on the table, his eyes never leaving the curves.

The technician's voice changed.

"It used the stolen furnace as a counterweight for the crane!"

There was a moment of silence in the control room.

Lu Mingyuan stared at the pinned balance shaft, his lips tightening, and remained silent.

In the AM channel, someone swore first.

"You can do that?"

The fire control officer at the slaughterhouse was pressed close to the screen.

"The crane is trying to steal the furnace, but the furnace is crushing the crane?"

The adjutant stared at the scene where the sixth hook was stuck for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.

"It grabbed the hilt of the knife again."

There was static on the courtyard loudspeaker.

"An abnormal counterweight."

"Recovery at the sixth lifting point failed."

"Execute mechanical mode."

Six overhead cranes at the top were unlocked simultaneously.

This time, the hook no longer waits for the counterweight's beat.

All steel cables are tightened at full power.

clack clack-

The pulley at the top of the well was spinning at high speed, the steel cable was taut, and the entire well was shaking.

The first hook lifts the front beam of the Devourer.

The second hook pulls the third guide frame.

The outer anti-blast armor of the third hook-tow 013.

The fourth hook is used to pull the tail anchor of No. 005.

The fifth hook is the stress point in the middle section.

The sixth hook was pulled outwards along with the mobile refining furnace.

The small fire caused the red characters to explode.

"Mechanical lifting".

"The counterweight countermeasure has failed."

"Six lifting points are raised simultaneously."

"The risk of coupling failure has increased."

Tang Lan immediately reported it.

"Cast 013 is experiencing a stress of 29 degrees! Any further hoisting will deform the top cover!"

The old mechanic cursed, "It's going to derail in the third quarter!"

The young survivors had hoarse voices.

"Stern anchor No. 005, 29.6! The silencer weight can't hold it down!"

Wang Hu turned his head.

"Boss, should we go all out?"

Su Yuan's hand had already landed on the control lever of the rapid bridge-building module that he had just seized from Station 10.

"Anchor hole".

Wang Hu was taken aback, then looked down at the bottom of the courtyard.

There are rows of old holes on both sides of the ground.

Those are the ground anchor holes used to secure overweight cargo at the vertical hoisting station. The openings were surrounded by white paint, which had long since worn black.

"The main beam of the bridge is inserted horizontally."

Wang Hu realized what was happening and slapped the control panel.

"Bridging modules, laid horizontally!"

Below the front beam of the Devourer, the rapid bridging module suddenly deployed.

It's not about building a bridge forward.

The two main beams of the bridge popped out from under the vehicle and were inserted laterally into the anchor holes in the courtyard.

The first main beam is inserted into the left hole.

Boom!

The second main beam is inserted into the hole on the right side.

Boom!

The heavy-duty support warehouse immediately descended, the support was inserted at an angle, and bit into the old locking ring in the ground anchor hole.

The entire train was nailed to the ground.

Six overhead cranes are still being lifted.

The tension of the steel cable is absorbed by the ground anchor holes, the main beam of the bridge, and the chassis of the train.

Su Yuan looked at Wang Hu.

"External magazine, two low-velocity armor-piercing rounds."

Wang Hu has already disengaged the mechanical safety.

"Where to hit?"

"Locking pins at both ends of the balance shaft."

The small torch illuminates the top structure of the courtyard to its maximum size, highlighting the two locking points in red.

Wang Hu glanced at the distance and his face twitched.

"If we miss, the top of the well will collapse on our heads."

Su Yuan did not turn his head.

"beat."

Wang Hu grinned and pulled down the launch lever.

Two muffled thuds came from the external ammunition bay on the right side of the Devourer.

The two medium- and low-velocity armor-piercing projectiles did not hit the hook or the main body of the crane, but instead went up diagonally along the well wall and drilled into the locking pins at both ends of the top balance shaft.

First shot.

boom!

The left locking pin broke, and a dull twisting sound came from the top of the well.

Second shot.

boom!

The right-end locking pin was punctured, and the balance shaft suddenly shifted.

The pulling force of the six overhead cranes simultaneously lost balance.

The force that was originally tearing the car upwards was reversed and flowed back to the crane.

The entire structure at the top of the well sank downwards.

Sparks fell from above.

The overhead crane pulleys are staggered laterally, and the steel cables are intertwined.

The first hook lost its grip, and the front beam of the Devourer was pressed heavily back onto the rail surface.

The second hook gets tangled in the steel cable of the third hook, and the third section of the guide frame returns to its original position.

The third hook failed to lift No. 013 and was instead pulled towards the side wall by the anti-blast armor interlayer.

When the fourth hook pulled the No. 005 tail anchor, the gantry itself tilted by half a foot.

The fifth hook got stuck on the middle section of the steel beam, and the pulley bearing started smoking.

The sixth hook, which was attached to the moving refining furnace, was pulled downwards by the misalignment of the balance shaft.

Su Yuan pushed up the core of Zhenshan.

Dark gold exhaust gas rushed out from under the car, and the low-temperature cooling ring spun rapidly, suppressing the temperature difference of the energy conduction tube.

The mobile refining furnace was reignited.

The furnace opening suddenly lit up with a loud bang.

Wang Hu roared.

"Open the furnace!"

The dark gold conduit extended from the bottom of the Devourer and plunged directly into the falling gantry.

The first catheter punctured the hydraulic chamber of the sixth hook auxiliary hook.

The second one is driven into the pulley block bearing.

The third coil holds the heavy-duty steel cable.

The roar of the mobile refining furnace intensified.

The steel cable was pulled into the furnace opening and twisted into a red-hot bundle.

The giant hook's outer shell was cut open, the hook tip was put into the furnace, and the hook back was pressed into a rough blank.

The counterweight fell from a height, hit the side wall of the courtyard, was caught halfway by the heavy-duty sling, and was then dragged into the external bucket by the dark gold conduit.

One after another, the overhead cranes on the shaft lost their support.

It wasn't the entire machine that crashed.

Su Yuan did not let them smash the car.

He used the main beam of the rapid bridge to support the ground anchor hole, and used the remaining steel cable of the sixth hook to pull back the gantry, thus reducing the angle of fall to the side.

Wang Hu led the maintenance team out of the side compartment and lit the welding torch.

"Smash the entire pulley assembly! The bearings must remain intact!"

The maintenance workers at Base 04 followed behind, one carrying hydraulic shears and the other dragging the newly removed overhead crane guard plate.

"This one will work!"

Wang Hu glanced at it.

"Throw it in the furnace! Recast the crane base!"

Tang Lan reported this on Channel 013.

"Casualty compartment No. 013 is now upright. The top cover is deformed by two centimeters, but this does not affect its stability."

The old mechanic patted the third bottom beam.

"The third section of the recliner is locked back to green. The guide frame is not broken."

At the tailgate of vehicle number 005, a young survivor with a hoarse voice.

"Stern anchor #005, 26! Isolation box normal! Right second compartment unmoved!"

The screen was refreshing rapidly.

"Recycling: Heavy-duty steel cables"

"Recycling: Giant hook."

"Recycle: Counterweight".

"Recycling: Vertical pulley bearings"

"Recycling: Overhead crane transverse gear rail."

"Recycling: Furnace body clamping auxiliary hook".

Casting: Heavy-duty lifting boom.

Casting: Vertical transfer pulley system.

"Casting: Furnace body anti-snatch lock frame"

Casting: Anti-breakage lock frame.

Above the courtyard, the second overhead crane frame was pulled off course and collided with the third guide rail.

boom!

A flash of white light appeared.

Sparks fell in large swaths from high above.

Wang Hu raised his hand to shield his face and continued to drag a heavy steel cable into the furnace opening.

"This steel cable is thick enough; we'll use it for the main cable of the crane boom."

The small fire immediately took over the structure.

"Main cable material for heavy-duty lifting boom confirmed."

"The bearing integrity of the vertical transfer pulley block is 76%."

"Available".

Su Yuan stared at the remaining hanger of the sixth hook.

The thing was still clamped onto the outer shell of the mobile refining furnace; it wasn't completely loosened.

"Install the anti-snatch lock first."

Wang Hu rushed over and kicked the severed auxiliary hook open, allowing the maintenance worker to drag out the newly cast lock frame.

The lock frame is very heavy, and the edges are red.

Wang Hu used pliers to clamp it and slowly pushed it between the outer shell of the mobile refining furnace and the outer beam of the head carriage.

"Correct the hole!"

"Half an inch to the left!"

"Don't press down on the feed pipe!"

Click.

The first anti-snatch lock is engaged.

Click.

The second locking frame presses down on the external material supply channel.

The third locking frame directly grips the main beam at the bottom of the refining furnace, and bites back onto the heavy-load external mounting position on the right side of the Devourer.

The sixth hook tightens once more, and just as the steel cable is taut, the locking frame snaps into place with its reverse teeth.

The secondary hook was jolted by the recoil, and black oil sprayed out of the hydraulic chamber.

Wang Hu swung the thermally broken shaft and smashed it down.

"Still trying to steal it?"

The outer shell of the secondary hook cracked and was dragged into the furnace opening by the dark gold conduit.

In the control room of Base 04, the technician stood and called out numbers, his voice getting louder and louder.

"The sixth hook has failed!"

"Mobile refining furnace fixed in place!"

"The furnace body anti-snatch lock frame has been installed!"

"The No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 overhead crane supports are unstable!"

"The casting of the heavy-duty lifting boom is 40% complete!"

Lu Mingyuan stood up immediately.

The veteran engineer stared at the screen in the courtyard, his lips twitching for a long time.

"Station 11 is going to be empty."

No one answered the phone in the control room.

The AM relay channel was initially silent.

Then a bunch of sounds exploded out at the same time.

"It's dismantling the overhead crane!"

"The furnace wasn't stolen; they even used an overhead crane to lock it!"

"That's a vertical lifting station, specifically for unloading heavy cargo."

"It's been torn down now."

The fire control officer of the Slaughterhouse stared at the newly formed crane arm on the right side of the Devourer for a long time without blinking.

"Will it even have cranes in the future?"

The adjutant looked at the folding boom.

"It's not that it's already there."

"It was stolen."

Before the tattered interface of the high-dimensional dark web, the young elder slammed his fist on the edge of the table.

"Furnace body recovery failed? Why didn't the overhead crane system self-destruct?"

The elder looked at the screen but did not reply immediately.

In the scene, Su Yuan didn't give the crane any time to self-destruct.

Wang Hu removed one set of the breech linkage safety that No. 09 had stolen and attached it to the remaining overhead crane electrical control box.

The directional blasting cable, which was seized on the 10th, was externally encapsulated and used to cut the dangerous section of the remaining steel cable at a high altitude.

The rapid bridging modules are inserted into the ground anchor holes, like two crossbeams, nailing the entire train to the ground.

Everything looted at each stop was dismantled at the next stop.

The fourth overhead crane tried to loosen its hook and smash No. 005.

The small fire detected the steel cable's rebound in advance.

"Prepare the fourth hook to detach."

Su Yuan raised his hand.

"Tail anchor lock frame".

At the tailgate of No. 005, the young survivor immediately hung the newly cast anti-slip lock frame on the tail beam.

Wang Hu's secondary rope followed and hooked the fourth hook steel cable.

The moment the crane was deloaded, the steel cable did not hit No. 005, but was guided by the auxiliary cable to the side wall and heavily pulled onto the abandoned maintenance platform.

The platform shattered.

Number 005 only wobbled once.

The young survivor hugged the isolation box, his forehead hitting the corner of the box, blood sliding down his brow bone.

He didn't even wipe it off.

"Number 005 is still around!"

Tang Lan's voice was very short.

"it is good."

The old mechanic cursed during the third quarter.

"This kid's got some potential."

The fifth crane was still struggling, its hook stuck at the mid-section balance point.

Su Yuan tried it out with the newly manufactured heavy-duty lifting arm.

The folding arm unfolds from the right side of the Devourer, the main cable goes around the vertical transfer pulley system, and the hook does not grab the enemy crane, but hooks the reverse buckle hole of the gantry below it.

"receive."

Wang Hu pulled down the mechanical lever of the new crane boom.

The vertical pulley system rotates for the first time.

The voice was deep.

The fifth overhead crane frame was lifted half a foot in the opposite direction.

The pressure that was originally pressing down on the middle section of the train disappeared, and the pressure on the coupling between the third section and No. 013 returned directly to green.

A prompt appears on the screen when the fire is lit.

"The heavy-duty crane boom has successfully completed its trial load test."

"Vertical transfer pulley system transmission successful."

Wang Hu chuckled, then coughed twice more while smoking.

"This thing works well."

Su Yuan looked at the last two overhead cranes still hanging high up.

"Completely dismantle."

Wang Hu raised his hand and waved.

"Maintenance team, get the parts!"

The mobile refining furnace has entered high power mode.

The white light in the courtyard was suppressed by the dark golden fire. Steel cables were inserted into the furnace one by one, the counterweight was cut into several sections, the tip of the giant hook was removed, the pulley bearing housing was recast, the base of the boom was thickened, and two more anti-seizure lock frames were added to the furnace body.

The third section front hook, tail beam No. 013, and tail anchor No. 005 were all equipped with anti-breakage locking frames.

These locking frames are not ordinary protective sleeves; they have reverse teeth on the outside. When encountering upward lifting force, they will first hold the main beam of the vehicle body and then distribute the force to the buffer seat below the coupling.

The veteran mechanic peered over the bottom of the third section and tapped the new lock frame with his fingers.

"Three times thicker than the original hook."

After Tang Lan finished inspecting the outside of number 013, she withdrew her hand.

"Add another hook above the No. 013 casualty compartment. Next time there's a hook, let it lift the lock frame first."

Wang Hu turned around from the side cabin.

"I saved some for you."

The young survivors shouted from the tailgate of No. 005.

"The stern anchor, number 005, must be the thickest possible!"

Wang Hu retorted with a curse.

"That's already the thickest you can get! Any thicker and the tail will sink first!"

"It might sink, but it shouldn't fall."

Wang Hu paused for a moment and stopped cursing.

"Okay, I'll fix your lateral tendons too."

The small fire refreshes the module list.

"New module: Heavy-duty lifting boom"

"New module: Vertical transfer pulley block"

"New module: Furnace body anti-snatch lock frame"

"New module: Anti-breakage lock bracket."

"The fixed strength of the mobile refining furnace has been improved."

"The ability to prevent vertical disassembly of the train has been improved."

"Resource transportation capabilities have been improved."

The atrium broadcast system is still struggling.

"Perform furnace body recycling..."

"Furnace body recycling..."

"Recycling failed..."

"implement……"

Wang Hu raised his head and looked at the broken loudspeaker hanging in mid-air.

"Shut up."

With a swing of the new lifting arm, the hook snapped onto the speaker bracket.

Click.

The horn, along with half of its old wire, was ripped off and fell into the external bucket of the refining furnace.

The broadcast was completely cut off.

The Devourer has started afresh.

The main beam of the rapid-lift bridge is retracted from the ground anchor hole, and the heavy-duty support is pressed back into the chassis. The heavy-duty lifting boom on the right side is folded outside the mobile refining furnace, the vertical transfer pulley block is fastened behind the boom base, and the steel cable is taken into the protective box.

The mobile refining furnace was not lost.

It has four additional furnace body anti-snatching lock frames on the outside, with black reverse teeth fastening the outer beam of the head car and interlocking with the heavy-duty machine position on the right.

The outer sides of the third section front hook, tail beam 013, and tail anchor 005 are all equipped with newly installed anti-breakage lock frames.

The Devourer, towing its entire formation, sailed out of the courtyard.

Behind them, only broken frames and empty tracks remain of the six giant overhead cranes.

Several steel cables, not yet retrieved, hung high up, swaying gently. The well wall still glowed with white light, but the hoisting platform below was empty. The ground was covered in dust, hot slag, broken locking pins, and fragments of pulled-out pulleys.

In the control room of Base 04, the technician finally read out the last line.

"Resource recovery completed at Vertical Lifting and Transfer Station No. 11."

The veteran engineer took over.

"The crane dismantling capability has been reduced to zero."

Lu Mingyuan looked at the newly installed heavy-duty crane arm of the Devourer.

"Next stop."

The small fire has refreshed the short-range map.

"Armor maintenance platform number 12".

Distance: 5.8 kilometers.

"Theoretical resources: heavy armor plating, track compartment, turret base, armor davit."

The screen paused for a moment.

The text popped up in red.

"The maintenance platform has been occupied by an enemy train."

AM relayed footage of the Wasteland being steered away from Station 11 throughout the wasteland.

The fire control officer at the slaughterhouse sat in front of the screen for a long time before speaking.

"What about station number 11?"

The adjutant looked at the empty courtyard.

"Sold out".

In the Bonebreaker channel, someone directly edited the image.

"Vertical hoisting and transfer station No. 11, marked: Empty, do not approach, overhead crane has been dismantled."

"What about the resources?"

"On the Devourer."

The leader of the Nighthound convoy stared at the new crane arm, tapping his fingers on the table.

A soldier nearby asked, "Should we remind it, Number 12?"

The convoy leader looked at the words "armored maintenance platform" on the map with a tense expression.

"What kind of reminder is that? The vehicles occupying the station are live trains, not government vehicles."

The Devourer continued forward along the inner ring track.

The right-side mobile refining furnace was operating at low power. The newly acquired vertical transfer pulley system turned slightly half a turn under the outer shell before locking. The external ammunition bay was submerged behind the armor, the rapid bridging module was retracted under the front beam, and the folded crane arm still extended above the roof.

Wang Hu leaned against the passenger seat, his hand still resting on the mechanical bar of the new crane.

"If they try to steal the stove again, they'll have to check these locks first."

Tang Lan took over the call from channel 013.

"Casualty compartment 013 is stable. Two casualties are experiencing secondary bleeding, which has been controlled."

The old mechanic tapped on the third bottom beam.

"The third section didn't fall apart. The new locket is usable."

The young survivor at the tailgate of number 005 still had a slightly hoarse voice.

"Item 005 is normal. The isolation box is normal. The second compartment from the right has not been moved."

Su Yuan stared into the darkness ahead.

A deep mechanical echo appeared at the end of the track.

It wasn't the sound of gears from the platform machinery.

It is the train wheelset pressing against the rail.

A row of car lights illuminated the darkness.

One lamp.

Two cups.

A dozen or so.

The entire armored train, covered in heavy protective plates, was parked in front of armored maintenance platform number 12. The train was wider than ordinary carriages, with track compartments attached to both sides and turret bases stacked on top of the roof. The thick protective plates bore old expeditionary force numbers and black marks from corrosion by living metal.

The enemy turret slowly turned.

Lock on the Devourer.

The broadcast came on, with only one sentence.

"Mobile arsenal: hand over the refining furnace, or smash it to pieces."
