I knew I had an ability, but I had no idea how to use it—until I woke up that day and realized… realized…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm!” Lin Xian glared at her fiercely, making Kiki shiver and whimper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I heard you saved that Chen sister, I said I wanted to sleep with her, then I mentioned the Infinite Train Project—it sounded so awful, so I figured you were just one of those scumbags who prey on women during the apocalypse, so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian regarded her coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you were afraid that seeking help would land you in a wolf’s den, so you pretended to be unconscious and tried to ambush me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki nodded, then shook her head, her eyes darting away as the blade hovered near her throat. “I-I didn’t mean to ambush you—I had no choice! But think about it: I’d just survived a disaster, woke up, and saw you plotting something sinister—I was terrified…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the apocalypse, it’s wise to be wary of others. Lin Xian was cautious, and so was Kiki. After waking, she’d planned to talk to Lin Xian—but then she caught him acting suspiciously toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she decided he was a complete pervert, and in panic, kept pretending to be unconscious, waiting for a chance to make another move…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, while Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan were off the train, she hadn’t even finished half her bread when Lin Xian, with his Mechanical Heart ability, caught her red-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian suddenly spoke: “Since you don’t even know how to use your ability, what’s the point of keeping you alive?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logical loop complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed his short knife slowly against Kiki’s neck. Kiki’s face paled; she shut her eyes and cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“N-no, don’t be impulsive! Let’s talk this out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki slowly opened one eye, saw Lin Xian’s menacing expression, and snapped it shut again. “Don’t kill me! Keep me alive—if we face danger, my ability gives you extra protection. After all, my life’s in your hands, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened. Seeing she spoke truthfully, his tension eased. If she truly understood how to wield such a powerful ability, how could she let herself be threatened like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze sharpened as he saw the girl was telling the truth; his heart eased. Life and death hung in the balance—if she truly knew how to use that powerful ability, how could she have let him threaten her like this all along?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wheels rolled. The “Infinite Train” began moving again, slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, seeing the knife lowered, finally let out a breath. She looked at Lin Xian. “So… can we make peace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki saw Lin Xian put down the knife, and her tense heart finally settled. She looked at him. “So, can we make peace?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like children playing house. Lin Xian smiled inwardly. This girl was truly hard to read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian studied her intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need time to think.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“O-okay, okay!” Kiki’s expression changed; she suddenly relaxed. “Keep me! I really can help you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, okay, okay!” Kiki’s expression changed, and she suddenly exhaled. “If you keep me, I really can help you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Kiki could celebrate, Lin Xian suddenly grabbed her, lifted her up, and dragged her toward Car 1 with a strange smirk on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki was caught off guard, screaming in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey… what are you doing?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess!” Lin Xian’s expression was cryptic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki panicked: “Hey hey hey, we agreed to make peace! I was wrong! I didn’t mean to hurt you! Don’t bully me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki panicked: “Hey hey hey, I said we’re making peace—I really was wrong, I never meant to hurt you, you can’t bully me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—I’m not even legal yet…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Irrelevant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No no, I’m actually a guy—look, I’ve got no chest, you wouldn’t find me interesting anyway, and you’ve got that sister already—just leave me alone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not picky.” “Oh, and you forgot—I have an ability! What if I accidentally unleash it and hurt you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that happens, you should thank me for helping you activate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Car 1, Lin Xian tied Kiki’s hands and feet with two ropes, then dumped her onto the sofa in a full bind. He announced loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just reminded me—if your ability activates under threat, I can use you as a shield. And since you’ve tried to escape and ambush me before, I’ll bind you extra tight for safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re despicable! You’re a bastard!” Kiki struggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian held up a roll of stinking socks. “If you keep whining, I’ll shove this in your mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki was furious, her face flushed and pale. Though Lin Xian hadn’t truly meant to “bully” her, she’d briefly relaxed—until she realized he’d tied her up just to use her as a human shield?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki was furious, her face flushing red and pale. Though Lin Xian had never truly intended to “bully” her, which gave her momentary relief, this awful guy had tied her up just to use her as a human shield??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was trapped, powerless against him. Seeing him raise those stinking socks, she fell silent, glaring at him with eyes blazing with fury, plotting in her mind when she’d get her revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep glaring, and you’ll sleep with the zombies tonight,” Lin Xian said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of zombies, Kiki instinctively shrank back, cowed by his authority. After a long silence, she whispered, barely audible:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you so mean? What if I need to use the bathroom…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you yelling at me? What if I need to use the bathroom…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian suddenly smiled. “That’s for you to answer. How did you manage three days without food or bathroom breaks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last night you weren’t around—I waited until the sister fell asleep, then got up to eat and go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You weren’t here last night. I waited until that sister fell asleep, got up, ate something, and went to the bathroom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki glared at him, eyes flickering. “You were both exhausted. I waited until you two were asleep, then got up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned. “If I hadn’t noticed, you’d have just kept pretending to sleep forever?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not exactly.” Kiki squirmed. “I was going to confess today—but I got hungry, and you were both gone…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, not really.” Kiki fidgeted. “I was going to confess to you today, but I got hungry, and since none of you were around…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>18:45. The sun set; night swallowed the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Infinite Train” slowed to a stop atop a railway bridge over a mountain ravine. After leaving Yushan Station, it had raced nonstop for nearly two hours—now the entire train was steaming hot, but the sudden snowstorm quickly chilled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temperature dropped to -3°C. Snow and wind arrived. Condensation fogged the windows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan pulled down all the window shades and sealed the cockpit door. Outside, a dark valley stretched out; only the silhouette of distant mountains was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Car 1, Chen Sixuan stared at Kiki, bound and sprawled on the sofa, with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She’s been faking sleep this whole time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct.” Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan. “We were both careless. Last night, we gave her a live show.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.” Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan. “We were both careless. Last night, someone got a live broadcast of us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s face flushed. “I kept my eyes shut the whole time—I saw nothing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s face flushed red as she protested, “I—I kept my eyes closed the whole time. I didn’t see anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan’s face burned red. If it had been just her and Lin Xian, even the most embarrassing moments would’ve felt like survival-driven closeness. But now, with a third party watching—and seeing everything—even her shattered morals couldn’t erase the shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clenched her teeth, glared at Kiki. “Why pretend to sleep? If we hadn’t taken care of you these past two days, you’d be dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just…” Kiki shot a strange look at Lin Xian. “I just misunderstood this bad guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I adjusted this small scene slightly—please let me know if you spot any issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki looked at Lin Xian with a strange expression. “I just misunderstood this bad guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After much thought, I made minor adjustments to this small segment of the plot; please let me know if you find any issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","91b9a9358a46be5cd14e0ec1ff0c941e44d911fefe9fd7bd14204df53f6affa0","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-27","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-25",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
