After they left Jiang City, they had gathered massive supplies from the Oasis Caravan—Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan had spent over half an hour just carrying them. Later, they seized Tang Hai’s long-stored hoard at the outpost. He’d thought two meals a day was already meager, never imagining other survivors were chewing tree bark and eating dried rats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Shu Qin. Back then, when he’d fixed her water purifier, she’d traded him a crate of canned food—something she considered immense value, while Lin Xian hadn’t thought much of it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought our two meals a day were already extremely scarce,” Lin Xian chuckled, glancing at Chen Sixuan. “Turns out our life on the Infinite Train is pretty luxurious.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the A1 subcritical reverse-osmosis water purifier and water recycling system, plus the heteromorphic cube on the train allowing clean drinking water and showers anytime, a big bed to sleep on, heating, sturdy fortress armor for defense, and canned food and snacks for every meal, it now felt like living as a god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian had even been considering growing some green vegetables to balance out the heavy meat diet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my god, if this got out, everyone would want to board our train,” Shasha exclaimed, eyes wide. “I don’t want to eat dried rats—but if I got hungry enough, I guess I’d have no choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian nodded, feeling immense danger yet also sensing a tremendous opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, Brother Lin won’t let you eat dried rats.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve got a plan,” Lin Xian said, turning to Kiki. “You’ve always suggested making weapons and machinery to trade with other survivors. Now that we’ve acquired a radio, it’s time to broadcast outward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are we really going to broadcast?” Kiki hugged her knees, looking at Lin Xian. “Aren’t you afraid someone will target us now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kiki had been critically injured and unconscious, Lin Xian had wanted to find blood essence but couldn’t contact other survivors, forcing him to set traps in Yuchicheng to kill strange entities. He barely survived nine deaths to obtain one blood essence, only to be captured by a strange radio. Had it not been for his mechanical ability, he’d never have escaped the strange frequency—thinking of it still sent chills down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After crossing the skywalk, all survivors across the globe were on the move. Lin Xian had carefully considered: his mechanical ability could be used to trade for supplies. He’d bet his A1 subcritical reverse-osmosis water purifier could fetch five Level One blood essences and still be considered a steal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a gentleman isn’t guilty for possessing treasure—he’s guilty for possessing too much. His mechanical ability was powerful, but his team was small, so he’d dared not approach armed groups. Now, with Kiki, Shu Qin, Daliang, and Lu Xingchen beside him—all strong fighters—the train’s firepower could topple a large strange entity. With courage rising, he needed to leverage his mechanical advantage to secure more resources; otherwise, once they entered deep forests, swamps, or deserts and found no supplies, his ability would be useless except for hunting dried rats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We must act proactively. And our broadcast isn’t just for trading—it’s for gaining attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian told Kiki, “Wei Ke Xue previously gave us an emergency code. After entering Hengshan Pass, we can broadcast on the survivor frequency—we might contact Phoenix Society. The S-class strange entity in Palma Prairie is still unaccounted for. We might need to stay at Hengshan Pass for a day to observe and avoid it. What do you all think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan nodded. “I follow you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Team Leader, just give the orders,” Shu Qin said eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded too. With Lin Xian’s mechanical ability, the train now had no shortage of firearms or ammunition—there were more guns than people. But to other survivors, firearms were vital for survival; trading them for essentials was a rational choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s eyes lit up. “So how should we broadcast?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep it low-key,” Lin Xian said. “Low-key…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki gave Lin Xian a curious glance, then picked up the radio microphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello everyone, this is the Infinite Caravan. We’ll arrive at Hengshan Pass Train Station in three hours. We have plenty of guns and bullets, offer high-grade water purifiers and various machinery, and provide mechanical repair services. We’ll stop for one day. Accept all food, snacks, potato chips, chocolate, drinks, and biscuits—more the better! One Starfire Model 26 fully automatic tactical rifle with 120 rounds? Just one crate of biscuits!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan frowned at Kiki. “Isn’t that too cheap?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh come on, Sister Chen, didn’t you hear about that Fulu Shou Caravan selling machinery too? If we don’t set a competitive price, how will we steal their business?” Kiki grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin was also startled. “I think Sister Chen means—if you price it that low, who’ll even come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One crate of biscuits for a fully automatic rifle plus 120 rounds? To Shu Qin, that was absurdly cheap. In this apocalypse, such a low price would raise suspicion. And with only one day to stop and no fixed shelter, who knew if they were just a mobile bandit train?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine,” Lin Xian smiled, sensing Shu Qin’s concern. “These automatic rifles aren’t hard to make. Getting one crate of biscuits per rifle is already great. Two rifles for a crate of canned food? No problem. Survivors are struggling enough. Firearms mean life. Since I can make them, I have no reason to exploit these people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin’s expression paused slightly. Her gaze toward Lin Xian grew warm with admiration. She nodded. “Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian wasn’t just being a kind-hearted fool—he simply found ordinary rifles easy to build. To survivors barely clinging to life, he saw no need to become a post-apocalypse profiteer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki crossed her legs, excitedly continuing: “Also, our fame hasn’t spread yet. When we climbed the ascent corridor, so many survivor caravans saw Lin Xian as a savior—even Silver Star, Longshan No. 1, and Phoenix Society acknowledged us. Soon, our name will echo across the world. Dozens of psychics and beauties will fight to join your Infinite Train. You’ll be overwhelmed—1,000 carriages won’t even be enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki grew even more animated, her eyes crinkling into crescents: “Imagine a thousand carriages, fitted with star propulsion and electromagnetic railguns, blasting out of Blue Star, carrying human civilization, accelerating through space toward Proxima Centauri, breaking the solar orbit, accelerating nonstop for 500 years to reach 0.5% light speed, then gliding at that speed for 1,300 years, finally decelerating over 100 years to enter Proxima’s orbit, find a new planet, and begin anew—rebuilding human civilization!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian shot up and jabbed a finger into her smooth forehead. “It’s 2069. Are you seriously wandering Blue Star?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch!” Kiki clutched her head, gritting her teeth. “Didn’t you say we should reach the heavens?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm,” Lu Xingchen, who’d been quietly sipping tea in the corner, finally spoke like a sage: “A man born between heaven and earth must harbor such grand ambitions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daliang raised his hand, serious. “Brother Xian… I’m afraid of heights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, silly~ If we’re flying in outer space, why worry about falling to the ground, big brother?” Shasha, thrilled by Kiki’s words, now looked disdainfully at Daliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then let’s strive toward this goal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian checked the time and addressed everyone: “Dawn’s coming. Get ready to depart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1265,"2026-06-19T18:20:06.633Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6669e988ad082284daab3b1351b09512b8a2bba9edafcdf8a5f5f4fd59818078","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-215","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-213",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
