What’s going on? Why did you leave me outside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s face was filled with disbelief; he opened his mouth to speak, but his expression gradually froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kiki is outside, then who is the one who came back into the train with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned and suddenly turned, sprinting toward Car 1, charging straight for the heteromorphic cube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Non-mechanical force detected—reflective scan in progress.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Detection: Train under dark invasion!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a chill surged from his feet all the way to the back of Lin Xian’s skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heteromorphic cube’s power surged; a terrifying low growl erupted from the front car, like a demon’s hollow throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came three sharp pistol shots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s Car 3!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s eyes bulged; he dashed forward, simultaneously activating the train to open the cockpit door and let Kiki in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kiki on the train is fake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s first thought was of Shasha and Director Ding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunfire inside the train startled everyone in the front and rear cars; as Lin Xian ran halfway, the bathroom door of Car 1 opened and Shasha stepped out, her face pale with terror: “Brother Lin, what’s happening?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the little girl, Lin Xian exhaled half a breath of relief; he had no time to speak and rushed straight toward Car 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back now, Kiki had been silent the whole way, sitting quietly behind the motorcycle—there was definitely something off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t figure it out: weren’t the imposters supposed to wear human skins? If one had taken Kiki’s form, didn’t that mean Kiki was already dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These chaotic thoughts flashed through Lin Xian’s mind in an instant; he had no time to dwell on them. Upon arriving at Car 3, he saw research equipment overturned, the scene in chaos—a small, pale, fleshy humanoid twisted frantically on the ground, while Director Ding stood in the corner, pistol in hand, his face calm but his grip trembling slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a parasitic impostor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Ding said: “It tried to attack me, but it seems even more interested in the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump! Thump! Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Lu Xingchen and Daliang arrived as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian saw the dozens of white parasites crawling on the floor and shouted to Lu Xingchen: “Fire Brother, burn them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen moved swiftly, his brow furrowed; he raised his hand and unleashed a jet of flame—so urgent was the situation that he didn’t even call out the technique’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The searing fire consumed the white humanoid and all the parasites on the ground; Lin Xian quickly pulled Director Ding back and raised an ice shield in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plague Plant!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet despite the roaring flames, Ding Junyi’s first concern was the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it.” Lin Xian grabbed Ding Junyi’s arm; at that moment, an invisible psychic wave surged, suppressing the nearly boiling flames and perfectly enclosing them around the white humanoid, preventing the fire from consuming the entire car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki appeared pale-faced at the entrance of Car 3, raising her hand to suppress the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two worked in tandem, burning every white parasite to ash; the humanoid struggled violently, raising its arm and letting out a piercing shriek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaaaaa!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded like a girl’s hoarse scream; foul, smoky stench filled the air. In moments, the humanoid stopped moving, reduced to charred, blackened fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Car 3 was now filled with rolling heat; all key personnel had gathered, watching the scene with grim expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? She… she’s not Sister Kiki?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha stared wide-eyed at the charred corpse, then glanced at Kiki beside her. “How is this possible?!” Kiki immediately flicked her forehead: “Your sister’s right here—can’t you tell? All my care for you’s been wasted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t blame her.” Ding Junyi spoke up. “When she came in, I didn’t recognize her either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How could that be?” Shu Qin walked over, crouched beside the charred remains, frowning. “Aren’t imposters supposed to wear human skin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Kiki; Lin Xian looked at her too: “What happened? At the chemical plant, didn’t you see me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki looked confused, exclaiming: “Speaking of that—I was about to say the same thing! After I flew out through the vent, I saw you running back into the workshop. I thought you’d hit your head and panicked—I rushed back to save you, nearly got killed by that monster’s tentacles. But I searched the whole workshop and couldn’t find you. When I got out, your train was already gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought…” she glared at Lin Xian, annoyed, but then seemed to understand something, quickly suppressing her grievance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned: “I didn’t go back. After I got out, Shu Qin and the others dragged me away. I saw you outside and assumed you were safe, so once you got on, I just left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, his gaze shifting: “I get it now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s definitely those two bone worms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bone worms?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian said nothing; he opened the heteromorphic cube and scanned the train again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Non-mechanical force detected—reflective scan in progress.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Scan successful. No fear risk detected within train. Dark forces repelled.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Lin Xian finally exhale—looks like the threat was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else was confused, since none of them knew the heteromorphic cube’s function. Lin Xian had no time to explain; he only looked at Kiki: “You saw a fake me. I saw a fake you. Only we two. That means at least two imposters don’t need human skin. If so, only those two bone worms make sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s face twisted: “So… we carried those two things, and they can mimic people without skin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps only temporarily,” Ding Junyi said. “When I shot her, I noticed her outer tissue was dissolving. It probably won’t last long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian exhaled slowly, saying nothing. Director Ding’s theory had merit, but he suspected the heteromorphic cube’s suppressing power was responsible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the moment he activated the heteromorphic cube, the humanoid’s shriek had immediately sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian turned to the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and noticed its red glow had inexplicably intensified; he frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, you said it originally wanted to attack you, but suddenly turned toward the Hell Black Chrysanthemum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Ding Junyi nodded. “I can’t be sure if its primary goal in boarding the train was this plague plant, but it’s clear that under these circumstances, its priority target is this plant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’re lucky,” Lu Xingchen said. “At least it didn’t cause any casualties or damage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze swept over the blackened corpse on the ground: “Lantern Flower, impostor invasion—someone nearly got us killed with a single trick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aaaah!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a scream came from the rear car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the communicator, Miao Lu’s voice came: “Captain Lin, we have hostiles outside!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s heart tightened; he immediately opened the train’s sunshade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s faces turned pale, for outside the train, where the freight platform had been empty and dark,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now stood a crowd of people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d5521d878c8164bdbc51133d64c308810e09def70a761167e798fca11e88bbfc","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-191","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-189",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
