Chapter 115: Chapter 110 Motorcycle

"Lin Xian...what do we do?"

Lin Xian took a deep breath; he could hear the fear in KIKI’s tone, and not just in KIKI, he himself was also full of shock.

He looked at the collapsed tunnel and the partially exposed wall in front of him and fell silent.

The distance of the collapse was not far, about seven or eight meters. Using the interior side of the tunnel’s mountain, he could directly forge tracks and support steel frames, working with KIKI to secure the tracks in place.

They had already traveled more than a thousand meters, and if all went well, the 95th-floor cargo terminal platform should be just ahead.

At this moment, if they turned back, that meant their adventure to the Underground City would yield nothing more than rescuing three unrelated people and a pot of flowers, of unknown use.

"Wait a minute, let me check it out first."

Lin Xian observed the silhouette in the dark and hid in the shadows with KIKI. Perhaps he was overthinking his actions, but at this point, he wasn’t willing to give up; it would be too regrettable to give up now.

He had also planned, if things went smoothly with the Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive and there was enough time, to explore other areas of the Underground City, such as the military preparation area, industrial zone, or even take the energy reserves or dismantle the underground city’s night patrol system.

But now, forget about scavenging, he even began to worry whether they could drive this certain number of people out of this several hundred-meter underground tunnel. If they went back, using the elevator was definitely not an option, which meant that the two of them would have to climb back from the 95th floor to the 65th-floor cargo unloading platform along the tracks.

Lin Xian first created a rail track, then let KIKI gently lay it on the broken track.

KIKI’s expression was tense, carefully using her superpower to place it.

Ding~

A light sound rang out, making both of them shiver nervously.

However, nothing happened.

"No reaction."

"What do you say?" KIKI looked at Lin Xian.

"Let’s go forward and check that locomotive."

Having made up his mind, Lin Xian, without a second word, raised his hand to begin creating rails and support steel beams. KIKI watched him for a moment, then with no further hesitation, raised her hand to activate her superpower, helping Lin Xian repair the tracks.

Bang bang bang!

Soon, a temporary hanging rail track appeared before them. Lin Xian had placed an iron plate in the middle to maintain stability and facilitate their passage.

Thump thump

The moment both of them stepped onto the hanging rail track, their hearts couldn’t help but leap.

Beside them was the expansive wall of the Underground City; below was a deep abyss that reached an unknown depth, and at that moment, they were almost entirely exposed below the Dark Creatures.

"Be careful, that big thing probably hasn’t noticed us."

A few steps felt like a long time, but finally, they entered the tunnel ahead where darkness swallowed the light again.

Both of them let out a sigh of relief.

"Hurry, we need to make haste."

Turning on the flashlight, they saw an increasing amount of flesh and tissues in the tunnel.

Lin Xian and KIKI, with some relief, involuntarily quickened their pace.

After a short distance, several more misalignments and fractures of the tunnel appeared, but none were as severe as the previous void. For safety, Lin Xian and KIKI continued to repair as they walked.

Finally, the gradient of the tracks flattened, and they began to enter a spacious underground cargo platform.

Drip drip drip.

The Geiger counter began emitting an alarm, and Lin Xian picked it up to see it display 127.46μSv/h, a severely excessive level.

"We need to speed up."

This platform has completely lost power, but it wasn’t as dark as imagined because the city structure on one side of the platform had completely collapsed, exposing the steel and concrete framework. A broken huge elevator shaft was hanging in the air, with several steel cables quietly dangling inside.

"This is also collapsed..."

Lin Xian felt a sinking feeling in his heart, he quickly moved forward with a flashlight. This platform had 5 straight tracks and loading platforms, the space was enormous, and the top part even had a container door-style crane with tracks for lifting large cargo.

The wall cavity on this side was even larger. At first glance, Lin Xian saw the side profile of a huge creature at the bottom of the Underground City pit, looking like it had a huge head, but the torso part was completely unclear.

"Lin Xian, don’t you think, this meat seems to be flowing."

KIKI shrank her neck, shining the light on the brownish-red flesh spreading on the wall, which seemed to be continuously flowing internally.

It was as if it was absorbing nutrients.

Lin Xian saw this but felt no mood to consider these details, all his attention was focused on finding the Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive.

Beep beep beep.

At this moment, the Geiger counter began frantically alerting. Lin Xian was somewhat surprised, he slowly picked up the Geiger counter and moved it close to the flesh, only to see the numbers on it jumping wildly, quickly exceeding 300!

What was even scarier was that, as he moved the probe towards the direction of the blood waterfall, or the huge dark shadow on the wall outside, the numbers continued to increase.

"Where is the source of the radiation?!"

Lin Xian was stunned. Logically, the No. 1 nuclear core reactor at 100 floors underground was completely sealed off; how could there be a large amount of radiation coming from the outside.

"Lin Xian, look, over there!"

At this time, KIKI found something. The flashlight illuminated a backup platform direction, and in the beam of light, a streamlined train head appeared, revealing a huge industrial silhouette in the dark, bringing sudden joy to Lin Xian.

Found it!

The two immediately ran towards that platform, as they approached, a black and purple, highly futuristic electric locomotive came into view.

With the great migration of the Underground City, this Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive was like a giant industrial beast dormant in the abyss of the ground. Lin Xian couldn’t wait to step forward, placed his hand on it, and started to operate the Mechanical Heart.

[Mechanical Heart - Scanning]

[Mechanical Heart - Overriding]

[Scan Complete: Target Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive]

[Check Operating Status: Main structure integrity 100%, comprehensive electrical system: good, Micro Star type 152 micro nuclear power DRX generator device: cooled, auxiliary energy system: good...]

"How is it?"

"Everything is intact; the nuclear reactor has already cooled down, but I can try activating the auxiliary energy system first, to perform a system self-check." Lin Xian did not relax for a moment, and immediately began trying to start the first-level system.

For machinery of this scale, it was extremely difficult to achieve full coverage. He must rely on the train’s system for control, and what Lin Xian could currently do was just activate and control the energy transfer switch; the system part needed to be managed by KIKI.

Woo~

As Lin Xian started the first-level system, all the sub-systems of the locomotive also began to operate. The headlights gradually turned on, and in a moment, the stunning full view of the Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive appeared in front of Lin Xian and KIKI!

"Wow, this thing is too cool."

Lin Xian looked eager, filled with desire. With this machine, the energy issues on the train would be completely resolved— heating, water recycling, driving propulsion, etc. The 290 megawatts thermal power capacity of the micro nuclear power DRX generator device would allow Lin Xian to completely let go and race, no more relying on his superpower for propulsion. He could also allocate more energy and time to strengthen defense and internal mechanical construction, while also enhancing his own power!

The only issue was to ensure absolute protection for this locomotive, as its durability was far less than the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive.

"Let’s go, let’s go up and take a look."

Lin Xian looked at the Geiger counter in his hand, his expression slightly stern. He looked at the train in front of him, knowing its shell material must have used extremely high-standard radiation-resistant metal. Currently, it would be safer for them to hide inside the train.

Not just the reactor cooling down, there were also many mechanical parts waiting for Lin Xian, one by one, to check. He couldn’t possibly foolishly work in a high radiation area.
