CHAPTER 543: CHAPTER 288: SILENT EXTREME NIGHT (PART 3)

"So are more than 20 trains traveling together now?"

"Yes, Dragon Mountain No.1 is leading, and behind us is Monica’s Queen Mo."

"Doesn’t she have all-terrain drive for the entire train? Why not travel with the main Phoenix Society fleet?" Lin Xian asked in confusion.

Chen Sixuan whispered, "I don’t know, it’s not just her, there’s also Qian Deli."

"Qian Deli?" Lin Xian was surprised, "He has a big caravan and even nuclear-powered Polar Car, why switch to a train?"

"He exchanged his nuclear-powered Polar Car with a train group, claiming he prefers spacious and clean surroundings, even preferring a comfortable death."

Lin Xian smiled helplessly; it does sound like him. During this massive migration, many train groups likely want to follow the Phoenix Society’s fleet around Star Abyss No.5, eager to change their vehicles.

"And Luo Yang and the others are the same. After Xilan City, everyone suffered heavy losses. Uncle Wu and Liao Ming from the Big Eagle Caravan died, Liang Lei, Ah Min, Luo Luo, and Li Guangwen were severely injured, and we managed to save them using the medical cabin. Liang Lei hasn’t woken up yet. Then Luo Yang and Li Yi’s two caravans also exchanged their vehicles with a train group. They’ve merged and named themselves the Sunshine Team, with over a hundred people following us. Some of them and the remaining Big Eagle Caravan members are now with Shen Yao of Beifeng Alliance."

The defense battle of Xilan City shattered most of the caravans. In such circumstances, it’s normal for people to band together for warmth and merge forces. Upon hearing about Uncle Wu and Liao Ming, Lin Xian sighed internally.

He remembered the Disaster Plant Uncle Wu gifted him, and after what happened in Xilan City, the importance of the plant surged in Lin Xian’s mind. He originally thought of teaming up with Uncle Wu or providing them with power armor and weapons if they survived, but the Big Eagle Caravan is lost.

"By the way, Shen Yao from Beifeng Caravan specifically asked me to tell you that a caravan is looking for us."

"Who?"

Chen Sixuan took a deep breath, "Silver Star, Jian Xuwei!"

Lin Xian’s pupils contracted upon hearing this, recalling the decisive leader of Finger Group at the airport. That Eternal-class Apocalypse Train with over a hundred carriages was the most heavily armed he’d seen, boasting more than four electromagnetic railguns...

"K-... Hello, Brother Shi."

At that moment, Lin Xian pressed the communicator, attempting to contact Dragon Mountain No.1 ahead.

Soon, Shi Deyuan’s excited voice came through.

"Lin, you’re awake!!"

"Shhh, keep it down~" Lin Xian heard Ning Jing’s voice nearby.

"Oh oh, I forgot," Shi Deyuan quickly lowered his voice, "Lin, oh boy, I’m relieved you’re finally awake. How are you, any parts not feeling quite right?"

Lin Xian felt warmth in his heart, "I’m fine, Brother Shi, how’s the situation now?"

"I’ll talk to Captain Lin."

At this time, Ning Jing’s voice replaced the frequency and she said, "Captain Lin, Lao Shi is quite injured too; I’m keeping watch here. We should be nearing Yijin soon, and there’s no sign of monsters yet. However, you need to pay attention to the air circulation system. We suspect there’s something toxic or akin to dark invasion in the snow and air, so be very careful."

"Alright, I understand, we’ll stay in touch."

"Okay."

Lin Xian switched to another channel to contact Luo Yang’s group, and upon hearing his voice, the young people with Luo Yang were incredibly excited.

Luo Yang said, "Captain Lin, we’re also modifying our train interior following your setup and traveling with you!"

Lin Xian replied with concern, "Take care of yourselves first; modify things when safe. We’re entering Extreme Night, be cautious, and tell me directly if anything comes up."

"Understood, thank you, Brother Lin."

"By the way, Li Yi." Lin Xian asked Li Yi, "How is Liang Lei doing?"

"He... he’s still alive," Li Yi’s voice sounded heavy, indicating Liang Lei’s injuries were more serious than expected.

"Alright, take good care of him." Lin Xian sighed slightly, then gathered information briefly with Qian Deli and Monica over the communication channel, and finally exhaled a long breath of relief.

At this moment, 22 Apocalypse Trains were connecting head to tail. The steel serpent spanning nearly 15 kilometers was quietly moving through the snowstorm during Extreme Night with over 4,000 surviving members onboard. Some had transferred from Xilan City to the car group, or there might have been even more people.

"How is everyone else?"

Lin Xian walked towards the rear carriages with Chen Sixuan, asking about the team members’ situations.

Chen Sixuan leaned into Lin Xian’s ear, "KIKI is still sleeping. Brother Huo, Da Lou, and the other Superpower Users are the same. This time the energy depletion was huge; on the contrary, we Evolvers are handling it slightly better."

Lin Xian’s face was serious, "It seems ordinary people have better adaptability than Superpower Users?"

"Maybe they’re just too exhausted, especially after using two Cold Dark Reagents," Chen Sixuan said worriedly.

Lin Xian stopped in his tracks, gazing at the faint glow of energy inside the carriage, and wondered whether being close to S-Class meant they absorbed more dark power and Hell Black Chrysanthemum transformations, resulting in extreme strain on their bodies?

This thought wasn’t unfounded. Not only the two Cold Dark Reagents, but those with greater combat power often eliminated more monster tides, and the S-Class giant sea urchin and Abyss Worm would certainly have caused more energy spills.
