"I know." Lin Xian smiled at Hu Lushou, "But it can still crash."
"Didnât you crash it on the Dragon Transport Ship?" KIKI crossed her arms and looked at him with interest, "You want to ride a second time?"
"Ah, this..." KIKIâs words left Hu Lushou speechless.
"Itâs true, but..." Hu Lushou looked a bit heartbroken. You have to know, this transport ship was a treasure he exchanged 500 Blood Essences for, and with this thing alone, he could load the whole convoy and escape towards Dawn Center or even Polar.
Of course, thatâs only if he has the guts.
Hu Lushou actually also knows that in the apocalypse, the bigger the flying device, the more of a burden it is, especially for ordinary survivors. That danger level is comparable to riding a bicycle through a group of zombies, iron bags feeding monsters. So typical survivors wouldnât dare use such vehicles for survival. Even if this transport ship had wheels, itâd be better, but unfortunately, thatâs impossible. Because of this, Hu Lushou could get one for such a cheap price.
Simply put, few dare to sell them, and even fewer dare to buy them.
But anyway, itâs still a ten thousand-ton flying device. If he knew in advance he was going to dismantle it, he might as well have spent those 500 Blood Essences directly on Lin Xian. After all, itâs not a waste.
Lin Xian knew what Hu Lushou was thinking, but for him right now, this big guy is far more useful than Blood Essence. Heâs worried about not having something to devour to upgrade, so he directly said to Hu Lushou.
"Lao Hu, Iâm dismantling this to build a train, a flying trainâitâs safer than the transport ship. I know you want to come with us, and thatâs fine. Iâm preparing to form an alliance, and your convoy can join in, but the condition is... everything must be under my command."
Hu Lushouâs eyes began to shine upon hearing Lin Xianâs words; his Big Gold Tooth almost sparkled like fireworks. As soon as Lin Xian finished speaking, he immediately nodded vigorously like a little chick pecking rice and said,
"OK, so OK, of course, Iâll follow Captain Linâs every arrangement 100%, even 1000%. Oh, Captain Lin, you donât know, but along the way, your various unbelievable operations have completely conquered me, Lao Hu. Just now when you said that... fly..."
"Flying train," Sun Chang reminded.
"Yes, yes, flying train!" Hu Lushou widened his eyes and said, "If it were someone else, I, Lao Hu, wouldnât even bother listeningâflying train, what a joke."
"But this coming from you, Captain Lin, I believe 1000%. You just led the Joint Train with over 500 coaches flying out of Star Abyss; my goodness, thatâs crazy amazing, Iâm sold. From now on, if Captain Lin says east, Iâll definitely not go west, how about it?!"
Hu Lushouâs flattering words were so excessive even KIKI couldnât stand it anymore, looking at him with disdain, "Hey, make sure you mean it."
"Absolutely!"
"By the way." Hu Lushou came over smoothly, looking at Lin Xian with a smile, "Captain Lin, the alliance you just mentioned, what exactly is it? Can this little brother do anything within it?"
"Havenât thought specifics, just consider it joining our Infinity." Lin Xian said directly, "As for what to do..."
He said while glancing at the group of black-suited followers behind Hu Lushou, then smiled at Hu Lushou and said, "Just continue showcasing your talents."
After finishing, Lin Xian stepped forward to head towards that transport ship, stopping halfway, turning back to scrutinize Sun Chang, with her mechanical arms thicker than thighs and a resolute, taciturn face, before asking Hu Lushou.
"I never asked, whatâs your relationship with Sun Chang?"
Hu Lushou froze a little at the words, then replied earnestly, "Never told you? Sheâs my wife."
"Divorced," Sun Chang added.
"Divorced, so what?!" Hu Lushou said with inexplicable expression, "Itâs almost the end of the world, you plan to find another?"
Sun Chang gave him an icy glance, then crossed her mechanical arms expressionlessly saying,
"Iâm not interested in men."
Lin Xian, KIKI: ...
Lin Xian was quite shocked at this moment. He always thought Sun Chang was just Hu Lushouâs deputy, but unexpectedly she was his wife.
After all, itâs hard to imagine Hu Lushou, a thin guy at 1.7 meters, would have a nearly 1.9-meter wife with tanned skin, bursting muscles, and a pair of unmatched mechanical armsâa Vajra Barbie. Sun Chang stood before Lin Xian with such presence that she could overshadow Da Lou...
Seeing this couple bickering back and forth, Lin Xianâs eyes twitched slightly before silently turning to board the transport ship, with KIKI following along.
"Wow, didnât expect Sun Chang to be Hu Lushouâs wife, Iâm truly enlightened this time..." KIKI said following behind.
"No wonder Sun Chang is different from typical deputies, so itâs like this." Lin Xian chuckled, recalling how Sun Chang repeatedly disregarded Hu Lushouâs face, now itâs clear.
"Lin Xian, are you planning to directly devour this transport ship here in public?"
KIKI walked along the internal corridor of the transport ship asking Lin Xian.
"Bit by bit, start with the nuclear power engine," Lin Xian said to KIKI, "Help me tell Hu Lushou to pull up the berth zone maintenance sections; donât worry about the rest, let them withdraw."
KIKI nodded, then Lin Xian, like he did back in Qingshui Town, directly went to the transport shipâs power cabin, jumped onto the nuclear power engine room, and began Mechanical Devouring.
