Chapter 19 - 15: Devouring the Large Freezer

Chapter 19: Chapter 15: Devouring the Large FreezerHuang Jie's eyes turned bloodshot, and he immediately got up, grabbed a rifle, turned off the safety, and gritted his teeth as he fired a burst through the car window!

Dada dada!

Sparks flew, and stray bullets whizzed by, but the windshield remained unscathed.

He didn't know that this Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive was initially designed for the Star Orbital as the first generation gas turbine locomotive, with a top speed of 450KM. The window windshields were made from a combination of special composite fibers and high-strength glass, which ordinary rifle bullets could hardly damage.

"Can you keep it down?!"

The loud gunshot echoed throughout the entire freight station platform, infuriating his older brother, Huang Zhaojian, who cursed, "Do you want to get us killed by drawing those damned things here? We would all die!"

"Bro... there's a babe!"

Huang Jie was impatient at the moment, gulping non-stop as he gazed inside the carriage at Chen Sixuan, his face filled with frustration.

At that moment, big brother Huang Zhaojian also climbed up, took a glance inside, and his pupils trembled for a moment. A complex look flashed through his eyes, but he quickly put on a stern face.

"Don't worry, she can't escape. Once we get rid of that guy and get the train keys, we'll have everything!"

"Right, right!"



Huang Jie nodded again and again. "Hehe!" His gaze heated again as he looked towards the interior of the carriage. By then, Chen Sixuan had already hidden herself, so he could only spit fiercely,

"Pretty girl, you just wait for me..." Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, broke into a lewd smile, unzipped his trousers, and urinated against the car window, as if satisfying some vile addiction, before finally leaving with the gun.

Inside the freezer, Lin Xian listened to Chen Sixuan reporting the situation outside, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"No need to worry, just rest well in Carriage 1. If you're hungry, grab something to eat."

"Lin Xian..." Chen Sixuan's voice trembled slightly, "You won't be in trouble, will you?"

"I won't," Lin Xian said indifferently. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He put away the walkie-talkie, and after completing the collection of the freezer blueprint, Lin Xian placed his hand on the freezer, racing against time to commence and perform the Mechanical Devouring!

[Devouring Progress 1%]

As soon as the progress bar appeared, Lin Xian realized that the difficulty of this large freezer was somewhat on par with that of the previous small truck.

And there was more than one such freezer in this cold storage.

"We have plenty of time today, let's go all out and devour everything!"

This opportunity was quite rare for Lin Xian. Although escaping Jiang City from the Dark Tide was of utmost importance, he was not in control of the current situation. Therefore, the only choice left was to make good use of this opportunity and rapidly enhance his superpowers.

"Where's that kid?"

Outside the freezer, Huang Zhaojian came back with his brother Huang Jie, with his wife Gong Li and son keeping watch outside. The old lady grumbled unhappily,

"He's hidden inside, let's not worry about him for now. How's the situation on the train?"

Huang Jie excitedly said, "Mom, my brother and I checked, there's indeed just one girl. I think those carriages might be loaded with a lot of supplies, we're going to strike it rich!"

The old lady nodded, "You two brothers find some tools. While it's still light, see if you can pry open this freezer door. It's better to do fewer than more, I'm worried that dragging this out overnight will be problematic. There are only a few days till it's going to be dark continuously, and I'm afraid my old bones can't survive through such long nights."

"That's what I was thinking too."

Huang Zhaojian was also somewhat anxious at this moment. They had finally stumbled upon such a great opportunity and, of course, the quicker they succeed, the better."

After a quick discussion, they prepared to find some steel pipes and crowbars to pry open the freezer door.

Time ticked by, and it was already 17:00 in the afternoon. It was less than two hours until dark, and if they didn't manage to open the door by then, they would have to wait till the next day.

Meanwhile, in a dark corner inside the freezer, Lin Xian endured the stench as he devoured the refrigerator.

[Devouring Progress 80%]

[Devouring Progress 95%]

Finally, after spending nearly an hour, the enormous freezer was about to be completely devoured. At this time, sounds of prying and kicking at the freezer door could be heard constantly.



However, he wasn't very worried. When he had first locked the door, he had scanned it; the low-temperature freezer door was 150mm thick, with an outer layer of stainless steel and aluminum and an inner lining of thick thermal insulating polyurethane and fiberglass. With the door core locked by his superpower, it was nearly impossible to open it manually or even with simple tools such as steel pipes or crowbars.

Unless they had hydraulic pliers or a cutting machine, but if they had such tools, they wouldn't have been clanging around for over an hour.

Thus, Lin Xian just endured the annoying noise and continued to devour the freezer calmly.

On the other side, the greatly distressed Chen Sixuan could only pace back and forth in the carriage, but soon she realized that being anxious was pointless. She first checked on the young girl's condition; then, taking advantage of the daylight, she started organizing the various resources inside the three carriages and began cleaning.

In the depths of the cold storage, looking at the screen in front of him, Lin Xian's eyes lit up.

Big haul!

He quickly checked, and there were four big freezers like this here. If he devoured all of them, wouldn't he make a fortune?

[Mechanical Devouring LV.1 286/300]

Mechanical Devouring is about to level up too. If he successfully upgrades, his devouring efficiency should also improve!

Thinking this, Lin Xian was full of confidence, and without wasting time, he went directly to the next freezer and began devouring.

Meanwhile, outside the cold storage.

Huang Zhaojian and his brother Huang Jie, both brothers red-faced and exhausted, had tossed various steel pipes and crowbars all over the floor, constantly panting heavily with sweat dripping all over.

"Damn it...can't open it at all..."

The old lady stood nearby; looking at the sky outside, her expression was uncertain.

"Mom, we have been hiding inside these past few nights, those monsters outside couldn't open it, Zhaojian and they will surely find this door tough too," Gong Li said anxiously at this time.

"Yeah, this damn door is too freaking solid, shit!"

Huang Jie, cursing, threw the steel pipe in his hand onto the ground. Although he was swearing now, each night he prayed for the door to be sturdier - it was indeed a bit schizophrenic.

"Enough, let's stop,"

The old lady knew this was futile and their noise had attracted quite a number of footsteps heading towards the warehouse.

"It's getting dark soon, let's hide for now. Anyway, the outside is locked with iron chains, no fear of them escaping."

"Now it seems, without this man, the train probably won't start. As long as they can't run away, they surely won't outlast us."

"Mom makes sense!"

"Then let's do that..."

"Dad, aren't we getting on the train today?" the plump boy asked, somewhat disappointed.

"Not yet, we'll stay another night."

Recently, this family had actually been hiding in the same cold storage they were fishing at, but the door lock of that cold storage was broken, and it was secured from inside with several steel pipes to safely spend the night.



Beep beep, beep beep.

The alarm on the watch rang, and Lin Xian in the cold storage furrowed his brow, knowing it was getting dark.

On the train, Chen Sixuan pulled down all the blackout curtains, anxiously waiting for Lin Xian's response. Her gaze then fell on the unconscious young girl; unable to resist, she went over to check her breath to confirm she was still alive before revealing a look of surprise on her face.

This girl has been asleep for two whole days now...

18:45, night falls, and the entire cargo station is plunged into darkness.

The zombies' deep growls, some strange footsteps, and those rustling sounds continuously magnified in Chen Sixuan's ears. She lay on the couch, holding the walkie-talkie, and covered herself tightly with a blanket.

At this time, the Huang family also hid in another cold storage, securing the door with steel pipes and crowbars. The entire family huddled in a corner deep within, discussing plans while eating.

At 19:32, Lin Xian completed devouring the second freezer.

[Devouring successful, Mechanical Source Point +25, Mechanical Devouring Skill proficiency +8, extra rewards: your strength increases by 2, speed increases by 1, defensive power increases by 1]

21:14, the third freezer was completely devoured.

[Devouring successful, Mechanical Source Point +25, Mechanical Devouring Skill proficiency +8, extra reward: your strength increases by 1]

Although there weren't many attribute rewards this time, what Lin Xian was looking forward to now was that his Mechanical Devouring Skill had leveled up to LV2!
