If he wants to die inside, let him die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, it’s even stinkier than this room. Let’s see how long he can last.” Another young woman, drenched in sweat, fanned herself with her hand, complaining, “But this damn freezer’s soundproofing is great—I’ve nearly shouted my voice hoarse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman scowled at her. “You know nothing. If you don’t act convincing, how do you catch fish?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, your tricks still work best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the freezer, Lin Xian’s expression darkened. He could tell this family wasn’t doing this for the first time. Luckily, he’d been alert and reacted fast—if he’d been a fraction slower, he’d already be dead from their guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his cold gaze locked onto the four outside. It was clear the old woman was the mastermind; the other two were her son and daughter-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. Haven’t you heard? Old ginger is the spiciest.” The old woman’s icy eyes flicked over Lin Xian. “This fish ran fast today, but seems dim-witted—walked straight into a dead end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, brother, come out. Hand over the train keys, and I’ll spare your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—they’d spotted his “Infinite” pulling into the platform earlier. This whole setup was a fishing trap, meant to kill and steal the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I’d believe you?” Lin Xian replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. Since you won’t come out, I’ll let you rot in there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man on the platform with the long rifle sneered at Lin Xian, then rummaged around until he found a length of iron chain, locking the freezer’s door handle from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a chubby eleven- or twelve-year-old boy burst in, his face flushed with pride as he shouted to the middle-aged man, “I checked the train—there’s only one woman on it, and she’s hot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was Huang Zhaojian; the one with the rifle was his younger brother, Huang Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two people dare to run a train? Bold!” Huang Jie chuckled at the boy’s words, then turned to the old woman. “Mom, what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean, what do we do?” The old woman shot him an irritated look. “I told you—you’re a fool. That train’s got to be full of supplies. If it runs, wouldn’t it be better than hiding in this freezer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right!” Gong Li’s eyes lit up. “Then we can finally leave this hellhole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Zhaojian stared at his wife. “Right? Can you even drive a train?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph. I can’t drive, but someone else can. Didn’t A-le say there’s a pretty woman on board? Two young people—how hard could it be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to drive the train! I want to drive the train!” The chubby boy jumped up and down, thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree too. Driving a train can’t be that hard. Brother, don’t kill the girl—save her for me, hahaha.” Huang Jie perked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the group was excited, the old woman glanced at Lin Xian inside the freezer and signaled to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second son, you stay here and guard it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pulled the others away, as if preparing to scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t even dream it, old hag!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the old woman turned to leave, Lin Xian inside the freezer suddenly spoke—he’d seen right through her plan. In front of them all, he slowly pulled a walkie-talkie from behind his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Laoshi, I’ve got trouble. Don’t open the door under any circumstances.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I won’t open it!” On the other end, Chen Sixuan replied anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Huang Zhaojian hadn’t expected Lin Xian to carry a walkie-talkie. Hearing him speak openly, he flew into a rage and kicked the freezer door hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her plan exposed, the old woman gritted her teeth—but then walked over and sneered at Lin Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A dog locked in a cage—what, you think you can outlast us? The stench in there must be unbearable, right?” She was right. The freezer reeked, making Lin Xian dizzy. He’d used his ability to lock the mechanical latch—temporarily safe, but trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck your dad!” Huang Zhaojian slammed his palm against the window, shouting furiously inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you think you can escape? I’ll see how long you last. If you push me too far, I swear I’ll drag that woman off the train and rape her right in front of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old woman added coldly, “If you’re smart, cooperate. You and the woman drive the train—we all escape together. I promise you your lives. What do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the old woman’s eyes, Lin Xian was a fish in a barrel. She couldn’t reach him yet, but she knew the freezer had poor airflow and unbearable stench—no one could endure it long. No other exits existed. He was merely fighting a losing battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mother and son played good cop and bad cop—almost made Lin Xian laugh. He had the Wind Cannon ability, but facing two guns, fighting back would be insanely irrational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian wasn’t a battle-hardened soldier or a fierce cavalryman—he was just a college student. His combat experience was minimal. If he hadn’t reacted so quickly earlier, he’d already be dead from those two brothers’ guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now trapped in the freezer, Chen Sixuan outside couldn’t help him. After a whirl of thoughts, he suddenly had a mad idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored the people outside, pulled out a flashlight from his backpack, and began scanning the freezer’s interior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, seeing Lin Xian ignore them, the old woman feared the train might escape and signaled quickly—her two sons should check on the train first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click. Lin Xian turned on the flashlight. The massive freezer held neatly arranged shelves, but all goods had been looted. Melted blood from frozen meats pooled on the floor—the source of the stench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian moved deeper. The flashlight swept across another row of large industrial freezers. His eyes lit up. He walked over, checking each one. Though empty, he could devour them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he couldn’t get out, and the freezer was a natural fortress, he could safely begin devouring these large appliances. Thinking this, he pulled out the walkie-talkie again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Laoshi, plan changed. I’m trapped for now. Stay on the train tonight—don’t open the door, don’t turn on lights, don’t make a sound. Wait for my signal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the train, Chen Sixuan’s face twisted with panic upon hearing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through a crack in the armored window, she saw two armed men crossing the tracks toward her. Nervously, she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, someone’s coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know. Don’t be afraid. As long as you don’t open the door, they can’t touch you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan bit her lower lip and nodded. “Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she spoken than a loud knock echoed at the front cab’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open up! Open now, or I’ll shoot!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That man’s in our hands! Open the door or he dies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan gripped the walkie-talkie tightly, retreating to Car 1. She’d never faced anything like this—of course she was terrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Xian’s words were etched into her heart. No matter what they said, she would never open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Huang Jie, rifle in hand, climbed onto the train’s windshield. He peered inside and saw Chen Sixuan’s panicked face. His eyes widened, saliva nearly dripping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother!!! She’s in there!!! She’s fucking gorgeous!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, can I have this girl as my wife?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the collapse of society, he was still single. Just thinking of it made him miserable. Now, seeing such a stunning woman, his blood boiled. In this lawless world, primal instincts surged. Huang Jie wanted to burst inside right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes blazing, he grabbed the rifle butt and smashed it hard against the windshield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how hard he hit, the windshield didn’t even crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, please follow and read!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ceb95c1d9565f605ab5354cb6d3e1caa59da3a06017ac6eaf1991d2c5d26d1c3","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-15","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-13",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
