After Chen Sixuan, Li Yi, and Miao Lu completed the inventory of all the train’s resources, she led a group of more than twenty women who would be responsible for the train’s logistics and affairs to acquaint themselves with the situation inside the Infinity. They learned about resource usage, the functional areas of different train cars, and divided hygienic and logistical duties for various car sections. For instance, Li Yi would arrange the meals while Miao Lu, being trained in nursing, would manage the comprehensive medical cabin and various medical supplies.
Meanwhile, Miao Lu and Xiao Yuan also assisted Ding Junyi in monitoring the growth of all crew members’ superpowers and physical functions.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, in Car No. 13, the manufacturing light-screen manifested as a large quantity of materials continually flew out. This large industrial apparatus finally began taking shape.
With this thing manufactured and a PX-05 robot deployed for control and maintenance, Lin Xian would then only need to take out the bullet materials transformed by the decomposition space to facilitate automatic pressing and reloading. Although it couldn’t solve everything in one go, 90% of the problems were resolved. With the train’s population increased, there were at least 120 combat personnel alone. Accompanied by multiple 1130s, a single battle alone would consume a massive amount of bullets.
Hence, after consideration, Lin Xian decided to prioritize manufacturing this before night fell.
The prisoners were currently housed in Dragon Mountain No.1, receiving aid while Ning Jing was organizing people to conduct assessments on them and consolidate the gathered information.
Regarding Star Abyss No.5’s situation, Lin Xian also planned to sync the data and specifically inquire about Hu Lushou and Lao Mo’s conditions.
In Car No. 12’s weapon station, Luo Yang and Xiao Bai stayed there alone, transforming their car’s computer into a simplified information center, connected to Infinity’s sentry and radar system. Thus, KIKI wouldn’t have to watch alone during the night—both sides could respond simultaneously.
As the time reached 18:30, nightfall drew ever closer, and the train car gradually settled down. Having arranged everything, Chen Sixuan arrived at Car No. 13 and said to the still-busy Lin Xian
"You haven’t slept in two days and nights. We’re heading into the uncharted territory tomorrow; you ought to rest a bit."
"That’s my plan too," Lin Xian glanced at her, then at his watch, and said with a heavy expression: "Night is coming soon. If no incidents occur tonight, I’ll discuss the intelligence gathered by Lao Mo and those abducted individuals with Brother Shi and the others, then rest."
Chen Sixuan nodded: "I’ve arranged to distribute food, and considering last night’s situation, no hot meals will be served temporarily."
Lin Xian noticed a strange look in Chen Sixuan’s eyes and couldn’t help but ask: "What’s wrong? Something on your mind?"
Chen Sixuan came over beside Lin Xian upon hearing this and sat on the ground like him, saying with a flicker in her eyes: "Perhaps my old issue came back. Today, seeing what that gang, the Sand Scorpion Gang, did made me uncomfortable."
Lin Xian looked at her: "More uncomfortable than murder?"
Chen Sixuan shook her head, her tone crisp: "To us, the night is undoubtedly the most terrifying — it’s death, the extinction of civilization. Yet the things this gang of sand bandits can do are a thousand times scarier than those monsters."
Lin Xian let out a cold laugh: "Indeed, the more alike, the better they know how to inflict greater harm upon one another. Do you know what that Lao Xie said before dying?"
Chen Sixuan looked at him.
"He said he knew they weren’t a match for our joint fleet, but they could send us a little gift in the night..."
Chen Sixuan’s expression sharpened upon hearing this: "KIKI cursed those Descent Faction as traitors; these people are even worse than traitors."
Beep beep, beep beep.
The watch’s notification sounded, and Lin Xian listened to the howling sandstorm outside, solemly saying "Now we are gradually beginning to unravel the secrets of the night, understanding the Dark Mark, learning to enter a silent state. If there were truly traitors able to establish a link with the night and aid the night in annihilating human civilization, that might be..."
"Humanity’s greatest tragedy."
