As a god, one must maintain decorum.\" He swept back his bangs with supreme confidence: \"Even in chaotic times, there’s a way to conduct oneself—don’t be reckless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft.\" Kiki looked at him with disgust: \"Then why do you burn your shirt off every day? Just go naked—it’s a waste of clothes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian also thought there was some sense to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or maybe I can equip you with a full-coverage armor later—boosts your firepower and keeps you from going shirtless, protects you from stray bullets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brilliant suggestion, Lin Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen turned to him eagerly: \"Better yet—custom-fitted. Won’t interfere with my Fire God power. You’re the God of Machinery, so this should be easy for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stared at him, about to speak, then fell silent: \"Wait your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian had indeed planned for custom full-coverage armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full-coverage armor differed from battle mechs: the former was a fully enclosed exoskeleton, like Iron Man’s suit; the latter were war machines—large, heavy, high firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original plan was to scan the Taitiewei’s exosuit, make minor improvements, or upgrade it through the R&D center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once built, he’d use it himself—to unleash his mechanical combat talents. His Wind Spear and Ice Wall were clearly inadequate now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could customize armor for everyone: Kiki’s power was strong, but it didn’t enhance her physical body—she was frail. That red mark he’d left on her forehead with a single finger hadn’t faded yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But time was tight at Yubei Airport—he hadn’t scanned any complex exoskeletons. He’d have to find another plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Infinite Train raced along the high-speed track, sunlight bright overhead, silence filling the intercom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin’s convoy followed closely behind, never letting down their guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Jiazhou City, the track entered a mountainous forest, the route complex, several highways appearing parallel to the rails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abandoned cars and wandering zombies began appearing in view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because they’d just survived the insane flock of corpse crows in Jiazhou, now seeing those howling zombies, they felt no fear—only a strange sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zombies are showing up. Looks like there are no corpse crows around anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cockpit, Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan sat on either side of the controls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lin Xian, do you have a direction yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stared at the endless Star-Circle Track ahead and shook his head: \"I knew the world would eventually be swallowed by darkness—but only when the Phoenix Society’s countdown appeared did I truly feel despair. One year and ninety-six days… If those Taitiewei soldiers knew the survivors they protected might not live a year, what would they think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan looked at him, her gaze gentle: \"When they gave up retreat, they stopped weighing gains and losses. Even if they only let us live until tomorrow, it was victory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because courage isn’t measured by distance—it crosses time, crosses dimensions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So why is it 'the one year and ninety-six days humanity faces extinction,' and not 'the one year and ninety-six days humanity prepares to counterattack'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian paused, then smiled: \"You’re right. One year and ninety-six days isn’t for us to flee—we still have much to do.\" The Infinite Train emerged from a vast mountain range, now over a hundred kilometers from Jiazhou City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pukou Station should be near.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan glanced at the navigation screen, then her expression changed: \"Lin Xian, look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian had been dozing in the driver’s seat, seizing rest. He snapped his head up—and saw the main track entering a small station, nestled in a valley, where over thirty survivor vehicles stood neatly parked beside a wide highway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from afar, many doors hung open, blood splattered across hoods and windows—yet not a soul inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s face darkened. He recognized these vehicles—they were the same convoy that had boarded the skyway with them at the airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The train slowed to a stop at the platform. Shu Qin’s convoy pulled up behind. Shu Qin stepped out, stunned: \"Isn’t this the Fireline Convoy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know them?\" Lin Xian and the others disembarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" said Lu Chang, a young man from Shu Qin’s team, frowning: \"We fought alongside them in Zone C at the airport. And it’s not just Fireline…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian led the group forward. The convoy included two modified heavy trucks—still well-equipped overall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind howled through the valley, whistling through the open cab doors of the heavy trucks. The entire convoy stood silent, orderly. They checked each vehicle carefully—no one was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin pulled a pocket knife from her belt, scraped a bit of dried blood from a SUV’s window, held it up, then frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Died last night. But no bodies. Some signs of corpse crow feeding, but not severe—definitely not killed by them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s strange,\" Kiki walked over, scanning the area: \"There were at least a hundred people here. How could there be zero resistance? It’s like…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone froze,\" Lu Xingchen said, detective-like: \"Something unnatural is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sha Sha hid behind Chen Sixuan, shivering at the neatly parked cars: \"Did they encounter some terrible monster?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan said nothing, her gaze fixed on Lin Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know,\" Lin Xian turned to Shu Qin: \"Are there other convoys here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin walked over and nodded: \"Three convoys merged here—all came from the airport with us. They escaped the Jiazhou corpse crows too, but not as badly as we did. So they must’ve encountered something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression grew grim: \"All these vehicles are intact. Even if internal corruption occurred, someone would’ve fought back—or driven away. But not a single vehicle moved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki said: \"Then they stopped here to rest at night—but something happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Xian heard murmurs. He turned—and saw a few men and women from Shu Qin’s group, including a young man named Zhou Yixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their faces were pale, eyes wide with shock—as if terrified by the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin… Qin-jie, isn’t this… the thing people whispered about…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Yixuan, don’t speak nonsense!\" Shu Qin cut him off sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ab2797e1989babdca57eedc6336ae7c8f43896f21ae382fda8631e027399c63d","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-168","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-166",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
