Suddenly, the entire large warehouse collapsed, smoke and flames surged, and Lu Xingchen, Sha Sha, and two others were buried under the steel frame shed.
A bald man stood on a collapsed steel beam, looking at the ruins below, his gaze cold and sharp.
At this moment, he pressed the earpiece.
"Report to the relay information group, Experiment Target No. 2 has been captured, waiting for confirmation of Disaster Plant Target No. 1 acquisition."
After reporting, the bald man’s gaze turned to the ruins below, where Lu Xingchen was still gritting his teeth and holding on. Covered in blood, he was carrying steel bars on his back, and under him, Sha Sha’s face was dust-laden as she lay unconscious.
The bald man turned off the communicator, his gaze locked onto the two buried under the steel bars. As a hum began, the energy augmentation device in his hand slowly lit up.
Under the rubble and steel bars, Sha Sha opened her dust-filled eyes and immediately saw Lu Xingchen, covered in blood, shielding her. His back was full of crisscrossed steel pipes and frames.
"Brother Huo!" Sha Sha exclaimed at Lu Xingchen’s injuries, "Are you okay!?"
"Not bad, still quite a man." The bald man approached slowly with a grim voice, "Then let me give you a swift death."
"Brother Huo, watch out." Sha Sha warned Lu Xingchen urgently as she saw the figure approaching from above.
Lu Xingchen’s gaze shifted, ignoring the pain from the approaching bald man behind him, he grinned and whispered to Sha Sha.
"Close your eyes, my next move will be impressive!"
Hengshan Pass Train Station, Infinity.
Chen Sixuan, holding the travel log, was with Miao Lu in carriage No. 7, counting the supplies shelf by shelf. To ensure safety, Chen Sixuan had all the food boxes opened to check carefully for any damage, leakage, spoilage, or expiry, then organized them neatly according to categories.
"Keep canned meat and canned fruit separate, dry foods like cookies should also be separated from liquid-containing foods to prevent moisture."
"Xiao Yuan, Tao Tao, place these jarred foods closer to the middle cabinet and add some padding; otherwise, if the carriage is attacked from outside, these things might get shattered."
Chen Sixuan was very meticulous, and Miao Lu was diligently helping.
"Miao Lu, is there any news on the line?" Chen Sixuan asked at this moment.
Miao Lu checked her mobile device and communicator, "Not yet, it’s still early. They’re probably timing their return perfectly."
Chen Sixuan looked at the gradually slanting sunlight through the train window, took a breath, and said, "Hope they have good findings today."
"Certainly~" Miao Lu laughed, "There shouldn’t be any Abnormal Bodies during the day, only some zombies that shouldn’t pose a threat to their safety. However, Hengshan Pass has been visited by too many people, it’s probably hard to find anything useful."
Chen Sixuan nodded; it’s the first time the Infinity has gone on a mission with multiple teams.
Previously, Lin Xian used to handle it personally. Now, there are more people, especially for such typical city exploration tasks. Everyone mobilizing won’t be too stressful; it’s a good chance to relieve the tension from their escape.
"It’s best to use the train carriage’s restroom and shower during the day," Chen Sixuan said. "In the future, we should adapt to the concept of having no night or day. Nights are more dangerous; based on past experience, resting during the day has greater security."
"But we need to travel and find supplies during the day." Miao Lu nodded, "You’re right. We might just have to rotate shifts; avoiding doing these things at night allows us to react promptly to emergencies."
At this moment, a female team member rushed over from the front carriage; she was specifically assigned by Sister Chen to keep a lookout.
"Sister Chen, come and see; out of nowhere, a container appeared on the platform."
"Container?" Chen Sixuan and Miao Lu’s expressions changed at the news.
They immediately put down their work and moved to the front carriage, noticing a distant black container on the platform as they walked.
"The Sentinel System should have reacted." Chen Sixuan frowned.
"It must be that it’s too far and not close, but how could such a large object appear without a sound?"
The few of them kept observing the container, which, unlike ordinary containers, seemed like some kind of laboratory module with an electric door, bearing the Phoenix Society’s Phoenix symbol.
