Chapter 349: Chapter 250: Track Fortress in the Snowstorm_3
"I don’t know."
Whooo~
KIKI already had the mobile terminal in hand, and launched the drone to start reconnaissance.
On the surveillance screen, the drone skimmed over the frost-covered train carriages, and through the faintly visible windows, there was no sign of movement inside.
The exterior armor was densely covered with various scratch marks, puncture holes, and battle traces left by attacks from the Snow Demons.
The scene made the group’s faces turn grim. Knowing that Dragon Mountain No.1 had over a thousand people on board, and its firepower and protection were not inferior to the Infinity, with mobility even superior to it, it was puzzling why it was stranded here.
"There must have been a fierce battle," KIKI adjusted the flying posture while speaking, "but their overall armor wasn’t breached, and the interior carriages seem intact. It’s very strange..."
"So many people couldn’t have just disappeared without a trace, could they?"
Lin Xian frowned and said, "Even if there were bodies, there would definitely be traces."
Just now, passing through Dalate Town, they had seen a convoy in a tragic state. If Dragon Mountain No.1 with over a thousand people had really suffered a devastating blow, the scene would certainly be even more brutal, yet the current situation appeared uncanny.
The massive Doomsday Fortress lay silently positioned on the snowfield, motionless, allowing the wind and snow to bury it, making it extremely eerie.
"Hmm."
KIKI’s drone made another patrol and found some doubts: "I remember Dragon Mountain No.1 had two intercontinental drive cores; why is there only one left?"
"What?"
Lin Xian zoomed in on the drone’s perspective and indeed found that one of Dragon Mountain No.1’s original drive heads and the power locomotive group were missing, but the main head was still there.
"They must have encountered some accident, Lin Xian?" Chen Sixuan asked Lin Xian.
"Let’s go take a look, Shu Qin, KIKI, both of you come with me." Without another word, Lin Xian began to put on the body temperature maintenance device and cold proof clothing.
"Alright."
Lin Xian didn’t have time to speculate; he had to determine immediately what had gone wrong with this rail fortress. After all, they were comrades who had fought side by side before. If the other party was in trouble, Lin Xian would help without hesitation, and now this train was blocking his way, leaving him no options to proceed.
Swish~
The cockpit door opened, and the three of them stepped out of the carriage, treading onto the snow deep enough to bury a person.
"The snow is too deep; it’s even hard to walk," Shu Qin said, "To move in this environment, unless equipped with special gear, it’s impossible to take even a step."
"KIKI," Lin Xian shouted to KIKI in the air.
"OK." KIKI understood immediately and, with a flick of her fingers, sent out an invisible wave of telekinesis that instantly blasted a path through the deep snow in front of Lin Xian and Shu Qin.
She then flew directly into the air, while Lin Xian and Shu Qin ran quickly toward the carriages of Dragon Mountain No.1.
As the deep snow was cleared, a large number of Snow Demon corpses emerged beneath the snow layers, frozen deep beneath the snow like stacked puffed rice treats, covered again by the upper layer of snowy white.
This grim scene made one’s scalp tingle; last night, the Infinity had cleared markers and hunted over a thousand Snow Demons near Uliyasatai Mountain, but now it seemed the density of Snow Demons around Dragon Mountain No.1 was even greater. The heavy armor plates on the double-deck carriages were full of torn and stabbed marks by monsters, with Snow Demon hide and broken bones hanging in pieces, then frozen in ice crystals, appearing terrifying.
KIKI, flying in the air, approached an upper-level carriage. She flicked away the frost on the outside with a finger and then moved closer to the window to look inside.
Inside the carriage seemed empty; it was a densely packed living carriage. Originally, both upper and lower levels were filled with the survivors from Dragon Mountain No.1. Each compartment was crammed with the entire belongings of each survivor’s family. They had seen before, these people living in the carriages exuded a vibe of unity, living in a mobile fortress after the apocalypse. Although cramped, it provided a strong sense of security.
However, at this moment, not a single figure was in sight inside, as if they had vanished into thin air.
Lin Xian placed his hand on the train below and just activated the Mechanical Heart, his face changed instantly.
"The heating equipment is running, there are people inside!"
Thud thud thud.
Just as KIKI got close, a shadow suddenly zipped through the corridor of the carriage. KIKI’s expression changed, and she immediately shouted, "Who’s in there!?"
Lin Xian directly grasped the steel armor plate of the train and used the climbing mode of the Power Armor to move quickly.
"The door is up front!"
Shu Qin closely followed, climbing onto the roof to keep up.
BOOM!
KIKI quickly flew forward, searching for the shadow. She raised her hand and unleashed a telekinesis wave, instantly shattering all the icicles and ice shells outside several carriages to see clearly into the windows.
Thud thud thud~
Meanwhile, the commotion inside the carriage was growing, as if many people were running.
Finally, Lin Xian saw a carriage with a large hatch and, without saying a word, activated the Mechanical Heart to cover the entire carriage and open that large hatch.
Whoosh!
Instantly, a burst of hot air surged from the entrance, merging with the cold air outside, forming a white gaseous wave.
Clack clack clack clack.
Behind that white wave of gas, several black gun barrels were aligned outward.
"Who!"
Ratatatat!!
The people inside seemed not to expect the door to open so easily and immediately changed expressions, opening fire directly.
