Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1070 - 408: Daylight Haunt

"This... what kind of power armor is this?"

KIKI saw the approaching power armor, and her first reaction was, "It looks so cute."

Everyone looked astonished, and Shi Zhi was even more perplexed, "Is this... for me?"

"Did you make it especially for Shi Zhi?" Chen Sixuan also asked rather puzzled.

"Not entirely, but sort of."

At this moment, Lin Xian said, "This power armor was modified by using the old drive unit of the Dancer One, integrating the computation power system and defense armor. Apart from having strong mobility and defensive power, it also has an intelligent system that can adapt to combat in emergencies."

"So, it’s more like a mecha?"

"Yes, Shi Zhi’s abilities are more support-oriented but limited in mobility. Although other people can usually assist her, there are many times when she also needs to take initiative. This power armor can help solve many problems, like assisting in some mobility actions, and it can also help train Shi Zhi’s mobility skills."

Shi Zhi was slightly stunned by what she heard and let out a long "Oh."

Although surprised, after hearing Lin Xian’s explanation, she became very curious.

"It can assist my movement?"

"Yes, it also comes with a complete system of combat movements," Lin Xian said with a smile. "But don’t get the wrong idea. It’s not exactly what you think. You can also adjust the proportion of the intelligent system’s involvement. Its main purpose is to help you adapt to the battlefield and learn many techniques."

Shi Zhi’s eyes lit up as she understood Lin Xian’s meaning, and she immediately said,

"In usual combat, Ryuji, Tianye Lan, they all take good care of me, and Xun would arrange a mecha to protect me exclusively. Actually... I also want to improve my combat abilities..." Shi Zhi’s voice became softer as she spoke, but from this, it was clear that Lin Xian’s power armor gave her further ability to follow the battlefield. Although it sounded somewhat semi-automatic, beginnings are always difficult. Placing her and Ryuji on the Infinity was naturally in hopes of fostering her growth.

Lin Xian saw that Shi Zhi understood his intentions and nodded. He then continued to speak to everyone.

"Additionally, I integrated our squad’s power armor intelligent systems, with Viola as the central processing and connection. This way, our information can be exchanged and processed quickly, and we can directly request fire support from Infinity."

"Fire support?"

Lin Xian nodded and looked at everyone before snapping his fingers.

Woo~

At this time, the roofs of several cars of Infinity behind him slowly opened, and electromagnetic guns and rows of missile systems began to rise, even with two sets of Hai Bo Long Oriented Constraint Cannons.

"So, during this time, you weren’t tinkering with the Sky Dome Train but upgrading Infinity," Qian Deli stood up, lifted his sunglasses, and said with great interest, "Not bad, with this firepower, several of our squads might even be able to spar with S-Class."

"Whether we can defeat S-Class remains to be seen, but with these power armors and Infinity’s support, our survival rate should increase significantly when facing S-Class."

Ning Jing nodded at this moment and said, "Captain Lin’s deployment is very comprehensive. So, let’s proceed accordingly."

"Alright... okay." Shi Zhi nodded at the words and went to stand in front of the power armor.

"Alright." Lin Xian pressed his earpiece, "Then Sister Ning, Queen Mo, Qian Deli, you three teams scout in three directions, and I’ll move Infinity over."

"No problem."

For a moment, everyone sprang into action. Several power armors emitted mechanical startup sounds, and people began suiting up. Da Lou, in the Black Dragon Battle Armor, also joined in. The three teams quickly linked their signals, with everyone’s location and vital information clearly visible on the team interface.

Lin Xian stored his nano-power armor in the Black Star Forge Space, ready to deploy and auto-wear it at any time. Seeing the three teams disperse, he immediately began to devour the train cars blocking the front. Time was limited, with about an hour left until nightfall, so he had to let KIKI forcibly separate the train in front of Infinity using telekinesis, allowing Infinity to slowly advance through the gaps.

Lin Xian went to the bridge’s top and walked forward with Infinity. Along the way, he continuously devoured empty train cars blocking the tracks below, which were piled up with trains and various debris, creating a scene of deathly silence and desolation.

Standing on the bridge, he gazed at the increasingly yellow connection port and the urban area of Sea Rock City under the sunset while observing the footage relayed from various teams.

The sunset’s afterglow spilled over the railway at the connection port, with abandoned train cars scattered across the tracks, their rusted bodies seemingly telling tales of the apocalypse’s desolation.

"So many trains, perfect for devouring materials."

Lin Xian devoured the train cars while observing the environment around the connection port.

The Star Orbital stretched over the sea towards a seaport, which, in addition to the orbit station, had a large cargo container port. Scattered around were several small islands with dried-up trees. From the port inward, it formed a crescent-shaped urban area, expanding from a valley towards the island’s center, appearing as an urban cluster under the reddish sunset.

Lin Xian was familiar with these cities before Apocalypse Day — some were tourist sites he’d visited, while others he’d known from the internet. Lin Xian had visited Sea Rock Island once before university, back when it was a tourist trip. The beaches here were beautiful, full of various amusement activities in the sea bath area during flights to the island.
