Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 36 - 32 The Misty Station

The "Infinity" raced through a series of mountains, and before long, instead of opening up, the view became enveloped in a thick white fog.

Inside the cockpit, Chen Sixuan was watching the vehicle’s radar while her brows were tightly knotted.

"The fog is too thick for a post-snowfall... something’s not right."

"It’s also a blessing."

Lin Xian gazed into the dense fog ahead, "Such a large vehicle entering the city is bound to attract the attention of many survivors. This fog actually saves us quite a bit of trouble."

Chen Sixuan glanced uneasily in the direction of carriage number 3, where KIKI was excitedly tuning a motorcycle.

"Do you trust her?"

Compared to the relationship between Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, KIKI was an unwelcome guest, and both of them could distinctly feel a layer of impenetrable disguise on the girl, so Chen Sixuan was almost always skeptical about what she said.

Lin Xian’s expression was as serene as an old well, and he said indifferently, "She’s a smart person and knows that without me, this vehicle simply can’t move. So unless she has a better survival strategy, cooperating with us should be her best choice if she wants to survive."

Hearing Lin Xian’s words, Chen Sixuan nodded slightly and was about to speak when Lin Xian suddenly pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips fiercely, making Chen Sixuan’s face blush and her heart race. "Hey... what are you doing?" she shyly murmured.

"Teacher Chen." Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan with a gaze full of admiration, "We’re lucky to have had you last night."

Being held by him and hearing Lin Xian’s words, although she didn’t voice it, joy spread through her heart.

She may not appear aggressive, but she has always been competitive ever since she was a child, never content to be seen as just a pretty face. At this time, when life and death hang in balance, hearing Lin Xian’s approval made her feel acknowledged.

"Don’t underestimate me. After all, I am still your teacher..."

Chen Sixuan’s words carried a touch of playfulness, but she quickly realized the ambiguity of her statement in the context of their current relationship, and her face changed color slightly.

Lin Xian smiled lightly, "Exactly, they say a teacher is a navigator in life, and now you really are the navigator of this vehicle."

Clang, clang~

The train passed through the switch and began to slowly enter a station shrouded in mist, with visibility extremely low, less than a few meters. To ensure they didn’t collide with other trains stopped at the station, Chen Sixuan quickly pulled down the brake valve.

"Will I still be tasked with guarding the vehicle?"

Lin Xian nodded, "Yes, currently we don’t have a better means of self-defense, and I feel more at ease with you staying here."

Although it meant one less person to search for supplies, all his belongings were on the "Infinity," and surely he wouldn’t feel comfortable without someone watching over them.

Besides, Chen Sixuan was just a frail woman with no superpowers or weapons. Guarding the vehicle was indeed the best choice.

Chen Sixuan nodded and hummed in agreement, "Then rest assured, I won’t open the doors for anyone."

Lin Xian looked at her, "In case of an emergency, you can go to the driver’s cabin of the electric locomotive to start up the train, I’ve taught you before."

At the same time, he took out a white remote control, "This is the emergency brake for the electric locomotive, which can be used to start it or to brake using the reserved energy."

"Oh, this..."

Chen Sixuan looked surprised, somewhat incredulous that Lin Xian was allowing her to drive, which warmed her heart. She knew this was a sign of Lin Xian’s trust in her, so she took it without any affectation, and with a determined gaze, she said,

"Alright, I understand."

After giving instructions to Chen Sixuan, Lin Xian checked the time, 16:50, there were about two hours left before it would get dark, so he hurried to carriage number 3.

At this moment, KIKI had already mounted the motorcycle and put on the windproof goggles Lin Xian prepared for her. With a light step of her long legs and slender waist, she pressed down on the clutch, showing off her skills smoothly, her image as a sexy biker girl almost jumping off the page.

"Just waiting on you, there’s not much fuel left in this thing."

Lin Xian tucked the Short Knife behind him, activated his Superpower to slowly lower the tailgate, and walked to the side of the motorcycle. Upon seeing KIKI’s slender arms and long legs, his brows slightly furrowed.

"With all this fog, better not to ride too fast."

"What are you blabbering about!" KIKI, clearly annoyed, patted the back seat. "Hop on already."

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief, hesitating where to place his hands as he climbed on the back seat, when KIKI took the initiative. She grabbed his hands and placed them on her slender waist, saying irritably, "You were so fierce kicking me off the bike yesterday. How come you’re acting coy about holding my waist now, hmph~ hypocrite!"

Lin Xian "..."

Outside, the temperature had already dropped below zero degrees, while KIKI was still dressed in ultra-short shorts and a belly-baring top. The thickest thing on her was a baseball jacket.

Lin Xian’s hands gripped her slender waist, feeling her tender skin, which despite being bouncy and soft to the touch, was somewhat cold. He couldn’t help but say,

"Aren’t you cold dressed like that?"

"Do I have other clothes to wear??"

After speaking, she glared at Lin Xian, revved up the engine, shifted gears, and the motorcycle roared into motion as soon as the brakes were released.

Meanwhile, Chen Sixuan, who was in charge of guarding the vehicle, quickly retracted the hydraulic tailgate, lowered all the sunshades, and turned off the interior lights. The whole train vanished like a ghost in the thick fog.

Woo~ Woo~

The motorcycle’s white lights pierced through the fog in front, entering a highway that led into the city.

In the midst of the fog, silence enveloped the surroundings, with only the motorcycle’s engine roaring, drawing out howls from zombies in all directions.

Both sides of the road were filled with stranded cars, and a thin layer of snow covered the trash strewn about. Lin Xian felt the biting cold wind and his anxiety grew.

The passenger train carriage did have a heating system, but everything on board the Infinity was decades old, and Lin Xian had never started it up. Repairing or installing a heating system would be a big project.

Moreover, turning on the heating system would also increase power consumption significantly.

If it weren’t for the backup electrical energy from the Huanxing 7F electric motorcycle last night, Lin Xian’s physical strength would have been insufficient to fight the giant worm and escape several hundred kilometers at the same time.

So, the troubles brought by the extreme cold were more serious than he had anticipated.

KIKI had set up her phone in front of the motorcycle with a pre-set map on it. Though there was no navigation system, she seemed to have memorized the route by heart, advancing through the fog with swift confidence.

Lin Xian, sitting behind her, was curious. "How come you seem like you’ve been here before?" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Pfft, I have a great sense of direction. There are only a few streets around here; how complicated can it be? Hold tight!"

With that, she twisted the throttle and the motorcycle sped up again. But just after they had gone a few hundred meters, KIKI suddenly squeezed the brakes hard!

Screech!!

The sound of tires screeching echoed through the street, followed by a succession of zombies closing in from behind.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Xian asked.

KIKI frowned and peered into the fog ahead, slowly saying,

"There’s something up ahead!"
