Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 225 - 218 Foundation Organization (Double for Monthly Tickets)_2

Chapter 225: Chapter 218 Foundation Organization (Double for Monthly Tickets)_2

"You don’t know a damn thing!" Hu Lushou changed his expression, snorting through his nose, glanced at Sun Chang, and then relaxed his tone a bit.

"Anyway, just watch. If we don’t sell these ordinary rifles soon, they’ll just become fire sticks!"

Sun Chang frowned slightly upon hearing this but said nothing.

Buzz, the caravan sped away, attracting many zombies in pursuit.

The Hengshan Pass area has quite a few survivor teams, some long-term building shelters in the city, some passing through aiming for Star City on the east line, others preparing to head north to Dawn Center. Various caravan camps are stationed in corners of the city, supermarkets, warehouses, police stations, prisons, and some places with relatively high protective measures.

Infinity’s first trade initiated via radio was quite successful. Various living resources were continuously loaded onto the caravan by its members, piled in the 7th and 6th resource carriages. Those survivor caravans exchanged weapons at relatively low prices and were quite excited.

Not long after, the caravans finished their trades and drove away one after another, leaving Hengshan Pass station to gradually quiet down.

After those graffiti-covered caravans drove away, Lin Xian finally saw an armored vehicle parked in a corner. A short-haired woman in a black coat stood in front of the vehicle, seemingly unnoticed by anyone. She stood there, quietly looking towards Lin Xian.

As Lin Xian cast his gaze over, the woman smiled at him, like a greeting between acquaintances.

Lin Xian frowned, feeling a bit perplexed because he didn’t know the woman.

At that moment, Chen Sixuan and the others were busy loading supplies and inventory on the vehicle; Lin Xian felt suspicious and decided to walk over directly.

Seeing Lin Xian approaching, the woman slightly raised a smile on her face.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, with clean and neat ear-length short hair, not exactly beautiful, but appealing, especially those deep brown eyes, giving a very profound feeling.

"Hello, we meet again." The woman greeted him first, her voice steady.

Lin Xian was a bit surprised and asked tentatively, "Have we met before?"

"Hua Xiaoling."

The woman extended her hand, introducing herself, "Ascension Elevator, thanks to your ’Traction Plan’.

Lin Xian recalled and shook her hand, "You came from Yu Bei City too?"

Hua Xiaoling faintly smiled, looking at Lin Xian, "In that kind of environment, you were busy saving the world and probably didn’t notice me. But truly, it was a genius plan."

"You’re too kind."

Lin Xian looked at the armored vehicle behind Hua Xiaoling. It was a standard combat-grade armored vehicle; just from the appearance, it didn’t seem like a survivor’s vehicle. The black windows prevented him from seeing how many people were inside, seemingly indicating it was a special vehicle from some high-level organization. Judging by the posture, they weren’t here to buy guns from him.

"Did you come specially after hearing the radio?" Lin Xian asked.

Hua Xiaoling handed him a business card at this moment, "We’re interested in your mechanical superpower, so the Foundation has entrusted me to extend a cooperation invitation to you. I wonder if you’re interested."

Upon hearing "Foundation," Lin Xian took the business card curiously, seeing on it:

"SIID Foundation Laboratory, Senior Director, Hua Xiaoling"

"SIID Foundation Laboratory?" Lin Xian frowned, "Are you affiliated with the Federation?"

He recalled that after escaping from the Mysterious Radio, KIKI showed him an "Angel Plan" document, which mentioned a Special Items Investigation Department, referring to SIID—a department said to specialize in taboo item research.

Hua Xiaoling smiled softly, "Strictly speaking, the SIID Foundation Laboratory is a large research organization established by the Luo Fei Consortium. Before the Federation Government disbanded, we cooperated with the government, but now we’re operating as an independent organization."

"Independent? What does that mean?"

"It means whether it’s the Phoenix Society or Dawn City, we maintain neutrality in between." Seeing Lin Xian’s puzzlement, Hua Xiaoling smiled at him, "Generally, people may find the current situation between the Federation and Phoenix Society’s organization chaotic. This largely depends on the varying philosophies different factions hold regarding the continuity of civilization. Presently, the widely recognized official organization is primarily the rescue-faction-led Phoenix Society, which has three core sub-organizations: the Three Dawn Main Cities, responsible for superpower research and development, superpower user recruitment, overseeing global missions, and finally the interstellar army."

"And under the Dawn Plan-led survival faction, many survivors still regard the Old Federation Government as official."

"After the first Extreme Night, the original Angel Plan dissolved into many parts, the ’Special Items Investigation Department’ you mentioned being a research unit funded by our SIID Foundation, responsible for certain special night items research."

"Our foundation’s ideology is to scientifically research the existing civilization system and dark invasions, simply put, we’re seeking opportunities for human civilizations to transform."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Are you the Descent Faction?"

Hua Xiaoling chuckled, "Captain Lin, don’t worry, I just said we’re a neutral organization. The Descent Faction you mentioned probably refers to those who fanatically worship the Dark Power, considering the apocalyptic might as the Creator God’s work."

She tilted her head slightly, "In our scientists’ view, those people are mentally unwell."

"Indeed, there’s a problem." Lin Xian sighed, looking at Hua Xiaoling, "So what are you looking to cooperate on?"

"Mechanical Creation." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Hua Xiaoling spoke directly, "If there’s an opportunity for civilization transformation, for us scientists, the most optimistic path is naturally artificial intelligence and high-tech domains. This is also the only remaining will of our civilization, while genetic evolution and superpowers are still relatively unfamiliar directions for us. Don’t you think so?"

Lin Xian understood, realizing they were interested in his mechanical superpower.

This is seemingly the only functional superpower in the superpower system that can be linked to human technology.

Unfortunately, my superpower isn’t actually a superpower...

Lin Xian sighed softly in his heart.

"What you say makes sense, but you might be overestimating my superpower’s wonders."

It is indeed quite wondrous; the Research and Development Center can directly create generation-gap-level blueprints. However, Lin Xian doesn’t want to publicize this outwardly. Even just Mechanical Manufacturing and Devour are enough to be considered phenomenal by ordinary people. Many in Yu Bei City already know, as in times of life and death, he chose not to hide it. But post-incident, it’s bound to attract some people’s attention.

Such as the Phoenix Society.

But Lin Xian didn’t expect it; even before Phoenix Society approached, the first was this SIID Foundation Laboratory.

Hua Xiaoling listened to Lin Xian but only smiled lightly without much discussion; instead, she calmly told him,

"No worries, we have a full-time laboratory at Shijiu Lake, with many achievements in dark nights, genetic evolution, superpower research, always welcome for you to visit for exchange. You might find your mechanical superpower quite fascinating."

"Alright," Lin Xian replied.

Hua Xiaoling smiled gently, then got into the car. The black armored vehicle swiftly left, soon disappearing off the end of the platform.

"Foundation, Luo Fei Consortium, Angel Plan, transport ship crash..."

Lin Xian watched the armored vehicle’s leaving direction, pondering lightly.

Upon starting to engage these large-scale organizations amidst the apocalypse, Lin Xian’s mindset grew complicated—rescue faction, survival faction, descent faction, and now a neutral faction; he felt truly troubled.

"Are humans really this complicated?"
