Chapter 744: Chapter 744
On the Infinity, Lao Mo and his family, having tidied up their beds and injuries, were allocated a place to live. For convenience, Lao Mo moved directly into the carriage with Liang Lei and the rest of the engineering team, while Sun Yuzhen took the two children to stay in Li Yi’s living carriage.
Due to the numerous tasks at hand, Lin Xian had not yet inquired about Lao Mo and the others nor assigned them tasks. However, Lao Mo, having a straightforward personality and disliking soft-spoken temperaments, proactively joined the train repair work thanks to being a senior engineer at Xinghua Heavy Industry, possessing mechanical expertise surpassing that of Liang Lei and Luo Yang.
In the living carriage, Sun Yuzhen looked at the secure compartment arranged for her family by Chen Sixuan. Even in the Dark Forest, she was filled with tears of gratitude, knowing full well that survival was of utmost importance. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝙣𝙚𝙩
Whether it was with sand bandits or in the darkness, she faced disasters, unsure of life or death in the next moment, but in this moment, she believed she could survive.
She was very grateful to Lin Xian for taking them in, especially after just experiencing a fierce battle, and now eagerly followed Shu Qin and Li Yi to help with ammunition and logistics.
However, Shu Qin informed her that Captain Lin had already divided the tasks and grouped the ammo and logistics arrangements, so Sun Yuzhen immediately found Lin Xian, hoping he could assign her a task.
Lin Xian was currently making relay communication devices for Grace, and seeing Sun Yuzhen, he recalled how she had just taken Chen Sixuan and Ding Junyi on a scouting flight. He said,
"After this, join Teacher Chen in the scouting team; your flying ability is very useful to us."
"Ah! Okay!" Sun Yuzhen’s eyes sparkled with excitement, nodding repeatedly, and quickly went to find Chen Sixuan.
Lin Xian watched her back, knowing Sun Yuzhen urgently sought his approval, so he was not polite and directly pointed out the importance of her superpower. With two children in tow, she would feel guilty if she didn’t contribute, so Lin Xian didn’t elaborate further.
Elsewhere, in car 13, Mo Xiaotian, his sister Mo Xiaole, and a group of children from car 10 helped to bring back collected shells for sorting by Shu Qin’s team. Usable ones would be repacked into ammo, while unusable ones would be set aside for Captain Lin to devour and convert.
Mo Xiaotian worked diligently and energetically, carrying a 50-60 kilogram ammunition box with ease despite his young age. Due to the high demand for ammunition, car 13 was crowded.
Suddenly, a faint bullet explosion was heard, causing everyone to stop what they were doing and rush over nervously.
Da Lou and Shu Qin rushed over to find Mo Xiaotian, bleeding from his hand while sorting bullets, looking at Shu Qin and Da Lou nervously, "Aunt Shu Qin, this... this bullet exploded."
He shielded his sister behind him, not showing pain from the bloodied fingers but rather regret and tension from making a mistake.
Shu Qin held Mo Xiaotian’s hand and hurriedly called out to Miao Lu, "Miao Lu, get a bandage."
"Got it!" Miao Lu quickly took action.
Afraid he’d be too tense, Da Lou softly asked, "Kid, how did this bullet explode?"
"It just suddenly exploded," Mo Xiaole, behind him, answered for her brother, explaining cautiously as if fearing he’d be blamed, "My brother was very careful, picking them up one by one."
"Yeah, I was just..."
In his rush to explain, Mo Xiaotian nervously picked up a 7.62 automatic rifle bullet again, and suddenly, a hard-to-detect static arc shot from his fingertips, piercing the bullet instantly, followed by a loud bang as it exploded once more!
This caused everyone around to hastily back away, and seeing this, Shu Qin immediately grabbed Mo Xiaotian’s bleeding hands and sternly said, "Don’t touch those bullets anymore, quick, go to the medical cabin!"
After speaking, Shu Qin quickly had Miao Lu take Mo Xiaotian away, then turned to the equally shocked Da Lou and said,
"That seems like a kind of superpower!"
"Quick, notify Captain Lin!"
Meanwhile, Lin Xian had completed making 100 sets of mini signal relays, utilizing Phoenix Society technology scanned in Xilan City, equipped with high-energy lithium batteries for long-lasting power.
He fabricated a metal box, suspended by four PX-05 robots. After KIKI edited the task module, they prepared to let Grace start her ’scouting’ mission.
Chen Sixuan and KIKI, along with a group of people, followed behind, watching complexly at the robot set to carry out the scouting plan. Everyone was also prepared for combat, ready for battle if the Abnormal Body was provoked.
Grace gracefully disembarked, saying to Lin Xian, "I will survey the terrain according to the minimal orbital standard you can create and track your orders in real-time via the signal relay."
"If you provoke the Abnormal Body, seek a shelter point and await orders."
Grace replied in a clear female voice, "I will not bring threats back to the camp perimeter, though I hope those ugly things aren’t interested in my plutonium-238 isotope nuclear battery array and motion neuron components."
Lin Xian was surprised upon hearing this, not expecting Grace to respond .
