CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 146: UNEXPECTED GAIN, MUTATED EGG, TRAIN STATION

Bai Ye frowned slightly and immediately arranged for five Late Tier One squad leaders to handle it with flamethrowers.

The flame nozzle aimed at the meatball, releasing fiercely burning hot flames.

"This is the process of hatching a new mutant, and it’s a Tier Three Mutant King. Based on the scale of the previous Tier Three Pollution Source, the more Tier Three mutant cells there are, the less incubation time and biomass it requires."

"Like this one, it requires at least a decade of continuous development. If the supply of energy and biomass is insufficient, it will remain in this dormant state."

Bai Ye slowly spoke, his expression exceptionally solemn:

"It’s also called a Mutated Egg, and it usually only appears in the bottom three layers beneath the negative sixth floor, where besides the Relic Forbidden Area, there’s another name for it..."

"The Mutant Nest!"

"It’s said that at the bottom of the Feicheng Shelter, during that great war back then, there was a Tier Three Evolution King who lost an arm or a leg. Some even exaggerate that a King once fell there."

"In any case, there are plenty of Mutated Eggs inside. You must be extremely cautious then."

"Previously, the Hunter Squad accidentally triggered a Mutated Egg, causing the awakening of a Tier Three Mutant, resulting in heavy casualties in their team and causing us great trouble."

Watching the massive meatball being burned by flames, the vaguely human-shaped mutant inside let out a piercing scream.

Lin Feng nodded, and the whispers in his mind suddenly amplified several times, becoming sharp and haunting.

After dealing with the sporadic Mutated Egg, everyone smoothly reached the negative fifth floor, just one layer away from the negative sixth floor.

Seeing the destination not far away, the team’s pace involuntarily quickened.

At this moment, Lin Feng noticed an unfamiliar but striking construction on the right side of the main road on the negative fifth floor.

It was actually an old-fashioned train station!

And above the building stood the four large characters "Feicheng Train Station," though the sign had decayed in several parts due to age.

Lin Feng asked in surprise:

"Could the tunnel from the negative fifth floor to the Taishan Shelter have railway tracks laid, allowing trains to transport supplies and personnel?!"

Bai Ye glanced to the right and nodded:

"Behind the station are two railway tunnels that can lead to the adjacent subway. After all, each large shelter can accommodate four to five million survivors, so communication between them is essential."

"Two railways are considered few. Normally, for a population of four to five million, during the Old Earth Era, it would be considered a medium-sized prefecture-level city. Two railways could at most transport hundreds or thousands of people back and forth, or a few thousand tons of supplies, which is clearly insufficient."

"The inside is quite dangerous now. After the Desert Wolf breached the Taishan Shelter, they slaughtered their way here..."

Lin Feng nodded. Initially, he thought the tunnel on the negative fifth floor was just a simple tunnel, akin to a highway tunnel, allowing the two shelters to achieve connectivity.

He did not expect a whole railway system to be constructed. As expected of a large shelter under the rule of a Tier Three King, it’s like a well-equipped underground kingdom.

Bai Ye then realized why Lin Feng would be so concerned about Evolvers in normal circumstances, especially Tier Two Evolvers, who fear the station and tunnels...

So he continued with a hint of meaning:

"Are you still collecting Tier Two Wasteland Wolf Source Crystals? Is the Church preparing to take decisive action?"

Lin Feng frowned slightly. He was equally aware of the Salvation Army’s schemes and plans, but previously, their disparities were too great for some matters to be discussed openly.

Now that their relationship is on equal footing, they can naturally exchange views and opinions with each other:

"You should know the strength of the Li Family better than I do."

Bai Ye shrugged:

"Of course I know, I just didn’t expect the Church’s strength to decline so much, turning their trump card into the main play..."

"Doesn’t this mean there is no retreat left?"

Lin Feng shook his head. The Salvation Army could infiltrate the 5th Floor or Nongzhuang Village to understand the Li Family’s actions, but they might not be aware of the fact and fiction of the Holy Spring Sect.

"There should still be other preparations. I’m just responsible for collecting Source Material. As for other matters, I’m not a member of the Church, just doing a job for money, so I’m not too clear."

"But Lord Bishop should be quite elderly by now."

"I’m afraid this action is initiated by the Church, to settle the Li Family problem before anything else happens."

"Killing the chicken to get the eggs, emptying the cage to replace the birds."

After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Bai Ye pondered and looked at the man beside him, slowly speaking:

"I need half of the Farm’s technical personnel."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes:

"Even if the Church perishes together with the Li Family, they will never negotiate with Wanderers, that’s the bottom line."

Bai Ye smiled:

"But I’m talking to you, Captain Lin."
