Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train-Chapter 212: Warm Day

At 6 AM, Lin Xian and Ding Junyi were still awake, having spent the night monitoring the energy dispersion phenomenon of Hell’s Black Chrysanthemum.

The convoy members on duty had already woken up. Shu Qin, Daluo, and the others were preparing for departure, and it seemed like everyone had slept well—spirits were high.

Ding Junyi had already dressed. She remained in Car No. 3, watching over the changes in Hell’s Black Chrysanthemum, while Lin Xian stayed in Car No. 1, observing the Eerie Cube.

Among all the team members, his ability to convert energy through the Eerie Cube provided the clearest insight into these changes.

[Non-mechanical energy converted. +200 Mechanical Source Points.]

[Beep! Reflective scan in progress using non-mechanical energy.]

[Scan complete. No fear-related threats detected inside the train. Dark energy infiltration blocked.]

After obtaining another 200 Mechanical Source Points, the Eerie Cube finally stopped converting energy. Lin Xian immediately walked through the train, following the dim glow, and only when he reached Car No. 3 did he notice the light had completely faded.

At the same time, Ding Junyi looked up at him. "It’s stopped."

Lin Xian nodded. "Yeah."

"You guys didn’t sleep at all?"

At that moment, KIKI floated into Car No. 3, a toothbrush still in her mouth. She was lazily flying through the air when she noticed the two still working and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s up? Did that flower start acting up again?"

Lin Xian and Ding Junyi both turned to look at her.

"Hey, kid, how do you feel?" Lin Xian asked seriously.

"Huh?"

KIKI looked confused. "Feel? Feel what?"

"Your ability—do you notice any changes?" Lin Xian clarified.

"My ability?" KIKI frowned, rolling her eyes up in thought before stretching her neck. "Hmm... not really. I just slept super well. Feel totally refreshed."

Lin Xian and Ding Junyi exchanged glances. Ding Junyi adjusted her glasses and said quietly, "I’ll do a full health check on the crew. If this happens again, we might start seeing changes after a few more occurrences."

"What, what, what are you guys talking about?" KIKI asked, puzzled.

Lin Xian exhaled. "Nothing. The sun’s coming up soon—get ready. We’re heading for Hengshan Pass."

He didn’t want to announce anything prematurely.

If Hell’s Black Chrysanthemum truly had the ability to enhance everyone’s abilities, its value would be immeasurable. Looking back, the Federation’s extreme focus on Blood Scourge Flora No. 01 probably wasn’t without reason.

That thought piqued Lin Xian’s curiosity about the other Blood Scourge Flora. These plants were rumored to grow in Polar Night Zones—perhaps he’d have a chance to search for them in the future.

"Tch—"

KIKI clicked her tongue. "Got it, boss."

Meanwhile, in another carriage...

Chen Sixuan had already woken up and was finishing the supply inventory from last night.

Lin Xian took a deep breath and turned to her. "How’s the count?"

"About what you expected."

She sat down and flipped open the logbook. "We’re running low on food, and medical supplies are also starting to dwindle. A few team members got minor injuries yesterday, and since that town had parasites, I took out some antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds. Rough estimate: if we maintain two meals a day, we have enough food for about 15 days—at best, 20 days if we really ration it."

"We’ve got more people now. Can’t be helped." Lin Xian nodded. "We picked up a decent amount from the Fireline Convoy, but there wasn’t much in Rain Town. Food shortages are a problem for every convoy."

With the team growing, basic survival was no longer as simple as when he was traveling with just four or five people.

"It’s fine. Hengshan Pass is a major transport hub. There should be plenty of survivor convoys there. We’ve got weapons and Eerie Blood Crystals—we can trade for supplies in advance."

Right now, they had a strong fighting force, and as the saying went, food is power. To deal with future crises, he couldn’t just aim for basic survival—fighters like Daluo needed proper meals to stay at their best.

"Another issue is medical care. We need to get a medical carriage or at least an automated medical pod. Even a doctor would be better than nothing. We can’t just rely on antibiotics and bandages forever."

"Yeah, we need to prioritize that," Chen Sixuan agreed.

She had discussed the matter with Shu Qin—no one on board had professional medical or nursing expertise. Their current treatment method was basically disinfect, bandage, hope for the best.

Despite everything, the night had been peaceful. Not only did they sleep well, but everyone also woke up feeling exceptionally energized, as if their bodies were brimming with strength.

By sunrise, Car No. 2, the information center, had become their meeting spot for planning and communication.

Before setting off, Lin Xian gathered all key team members, monitoring both Federation radio broadcasts and survivor frequency updates while discussing their next steps.

Federation Radio – Yunjiang Plains Sector:

"The S-Class Eerie Entity from Parma Grasslands has been officially designated as Biological Entity No. 17. Current movement: southwest..."

Survivor Broadcasts:

"We provide a safe shelter. If you're still alive, contact us anytime. We are the Steel Guardian Alliance. We accept all survivors—men, women, ability users, and ordinary people. Together, we will endure and gather supplies. We guarantee two crackers and 100g of dried rat meat per day, plus one can of food per week. We are based at Hengshan Pass, Longshan District Police Headquarters, and will be departing for the Phoenix Dawn Center in six days. We await you..."

"The Akatsuki Organization is recruiting ability users—ONLY ability users. Once you join, you are our brother for life. Standard uniform provided. One can of food per day. If you're one of us, come to Shibai Lake, east shore, marked by red maple trees!"

"The Fortune Caravan is open for trade. We offer: Eerie Blood Crystals, Soul Wave Detectors, Water Purifiers, Weapons, Ammunition, Food, Medicine, Vehicle Equipment, Generators, Gasoline—whatever you need, we have it. Accepting all valuable trade items. Location..."

"Whoa... even ability users only get one can of food per day now? Is food supply really this tight?" KIKI asked in surprise.

"Actually..." Shu Qin’s expression grew complex. "That’s... pretty normal. If you’re getting crackers and dried rat meat daily, that’s already a decent protein intake."

Lin Xian frowned. "What about your old convoy? Were you guys also eating dried rat meat every day?"

Shu Qin nodded. "Dried rat meat is actually one of the best meat sources. We also had lizard jerky, dried insects, and other creatures that weren’t infected by the darkness. Whenever we found those, we stored them up. Canned food was extremely precious—we only distributed it once a week, usually to the injured."

"Food and water are constant struggles. Survivors have fought to the death over a single crate of canned food before." Shu Qin looked at Lin Xian meaningfully. "That’s why… last night’s feast felt like we were on a paradise train."
