Chapter 733 - 334: Where Are We?! (2)

No one dared to leave the camp to collect the weapons and supplies from their fallen companions; everyone gathered in the train camp to catch their breath from the earlier terror.

Survivors on the outer trains looked through the windows towards the pitch-black forest of dead trees outside the camp, faintly hearing countless eerie whispers. In the distance, the mountains still twisted and surged, and the sky was a bizarre deep blue.

At this moment, all the teams were quietly clearing the battlefield. Teams equipped with medical equipment were lining up to assist the wounded, while the main team members were busy counting the number of people and ammunition. The engineering team in charge of repairs urgently fixed the trains. Combat personnel quickly replenished the ammunition for various onboard weapons. Some whispered, others were silently grieving, and the fate of more than three thousand people in the entire train camp was now tightly bound together, huddled amidst the dark forest.

Initially, the Infinity possessing the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube was the team least affected by the dark invasion and was also the first to react. Lin Xian did not understand why the Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube, originally affecting only the carriage, expanded to cover such a large shielding range. However, thanks to this Divine Artifact, the Infinity did not undergo any mutation, and with the automated firepower of the Infinity, Lin Xian’s team became the only one without casualties.

Lin Xian returned to the Infinity. At this moment, in Carriage No. 2, team members were reporting the situations in each carriage. Lin Xian removed the Power Armor, sat in the corner of the carriage, opened the light-blocking panel, and looked at the pitch-black forest outside with a cold expression.

"We have seven wounded here, not too serious."

"I have about a dozen here as well, more or less, all injured. Lao Li got one of his eyes damaged by that flying insect, the others... are okay."

Liang Lei and Da Lou’s assault groups were core personnel with firepower on the Infinity. A hundred people were using the finest weapons made by Lin Xian, with Power Armor for protection. Yet, they managed to break four sets of Battle Armor in this situation, and a large number of Power Armors faced some maintenance issues.

"The 1130 ammunition is all used up, and several Arc Pulse String Vibrators are burned out. Fortunately, our Armor is thick enough to withstand." Luo Yang, clad in Power Armor, said at this moment: "I’ve already set up monitoring sensors outside, combined with our Sentinel System; we will know immediately if there’s any movement."

"We can only watch now, we can’t fire." KIKI was rapidly operating the keyboard, checking the train’s condition as she spoke: "Now only the Railgun is still usable; the others are basically all exhausted..."

Shu Qin, who had fought through the night, saw the atmosphere was somewhat gloomy, and spoke comfortingly: "We’re lucky to have held out until now. Originally, we could still flee, but now even the tracks have disappeared. If it weren’t for Captain Lin’s intervention, we definitely couldn’t have lasted these two hours."

"Yeah, looking on the bright side, our situation now is like surviving the Extreme Night, as long as we’re still alive, there’s surely a way out!" Li Yi also responded positively at this moment.

"Hey~ what’s our next plan?" KIKI turned from the swivel chair to look at Lin Xian, at the same time, everyone’s gaze fell on Lin Xian.

Lin Xian shook his head, took a deep breath, and said: "There’s no plan for now; the main issue is we don’t even know where this place is."

As he spoke, he glanced at the compass spinning erratically on his wristwatch and said deeply: "It’s not just directions; communication pressure is large too. Without the train repeater, communicators lose contact beyond one kilometer, and all radios are down..."

The current situation can be said to be the most incomprehensible challenge Lin Xian’s Infinite Train plan has encountered since departing from Jiang City. It was no longer an issue of derailed tracks, but rather the entire train inexplicably arriving in this remote forest. In such circumstances, even if Lin Xian could fabricate tracks, he wouldn’t know where to start.

At this moment, the only idea he could think of was the scheme Qian Deli proposed earlier, using two all-terrain trains plus other vehicles. Lin Xian would produce some more vehicle transports through devouring the train, perhaps carrying more people away.

But in his view, this approach was indeed a last resort. Without the 1130 and Electromagnetic Gun, so many people blindly running in the deep forest, it’s no different from courting death.

So Lin Xian temporarily had no ideas.

Shu Qin, hearing Lin Xian’s words, also frowned at this moment: "Previously, during the Extreme Night, we could still discern directions, but here, with no signposts and a lake and mountains no one’s seen before, we don’t even know where we are. In this situation, are we really in the Star Abyss?"

"Wait!" KIKI suddenly turned back to Lin Xian and said: "Just now, at that moment when it was bright, we saw the sunset direction, we can at least distinguish north, south, east, and west, right."

"And then, which direction?" Lin Xian looked at her and said: "If we don’t know the exact orientation, how do we know which direction is away from the Star Abyss Center?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

Who would have thought that at this moment, Chen Sixuan suddenly walked in, looked at Lin Xian seriously and said: "Finding out where we are isn’t difficult!"

She and Miao Lu, Xiao Yuan, and others had just tidied up the rear carriage, and she directly said to KIKI and Lin Xian: "KIKI, you forgot our Sentinel System has surveillance video. You can immediately bring it up, first determine the direction with the sunset point and time, then refer to our global terrain map through radar-scanned mountain terrain features to match. Won’t we know our location then?"
