Chapter 27: Giant Centipede

"Is that so?" Lin Xian said with a smile. "Are you relieved now?"

Kiki dodged her gaze and muttered, "Didn't I say we made peace..."

She said, suddenly looking at Chen Sixuan and using a coquettish tone, "Chen Laoshi, thank you for taking care of me for the past two days. Why don't you help me untie the rope? How uncomfortable I am like this."

"Is that so? I can't tell." Chen Sixuan hummed in her nose. "You were tied up for the past two days, didn't you sleep quite soundly?"

Although Chen Sixuan had a gentle personality, she wasn't without a temper. Kiki's move startled her, so how could she give her a good face?

"I!..."

Kiki was speechless for a moment. She looked at Lin Xian irritably. "Hey, you aren't really planning to keep me tied up like this, are you? What if we encounter a monster?"

Lin Xian's expression was calm. "This is the punishment for stealing food. If you want me to let you go, look at your performance. If your ability can't help, then I'll have to ask you to get off the train."

Kiki was furious, glanced at him guiltily, and shrank on the sofa.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. If I have an ability, I will definitely help you. Don't kick me off the train."

"Good." Lin Xian said coldly.

Afterward, he stopped worrying about her and got up to go to the driver's cabin. He let Chen Sixuan watch her.

Lin Xian took out the guns he picked up from the Oasis fleet and sighed repeatedly. One of the AKs even had a bent barrel. Thinking that this group of guys must have used the guns as fire pokers after running out of bullets last night, but they were still wiped out.

What kind of monster was it...

【Devouring progress: 5%】

There were no bullets, and the barrel was bent. Lin Xian thought about just devouring them to see if there would be any surprises.

【Devouring successful. Mechanical Source Points +2, Mechanical Devouring skill proficiency +1】

【Devouring successful. Mechanical Source Points +1, Mechanical Devouring skill proficiency +1】

"Only this much? This is a gun, right?!"

Lin Xian looked at the light screen in front of him, feeling terrible.

"Don't treat an AK as a fire poker, damn it!"

At this moment, Lin Xian suddenly changed his expression and sensed something.

Under the floor of the quiet carriage, a subtle sound of rail vibration slowly came.

Click~ clack~ click~ clack~

Click~ clack~

Click~ clack~ click~ clack~

It was like countless iron chains sliding over the tracks. The sound was continuous, but it sounded heavy and powerful!

"What's wrong?" Chen Sixuan asked when she saw Lin Xian walking into the carriage.

"Shh!" Lin Xian made a silent gesture.

"Something is approaching." He lowered his voice and signaled for the two not to move.

Immediately, he turned off the lights in the carriage, and everyone was plunged into darkness. He crouched down slowly and pressed his hand on the train floor, activating the Mechanical Heart to merge with the train and feel the situation outside.

Chen Sixuan frowned slightly. She turned and went to the window by the bed, extended her finger, and quietly lifted the blackout board by a crack. She immediately narrowed her pupils and hurriedly covered her small mouth in panic! Kiki, on the sofa opposite, saw Chen Sixuan's expression, and her face also became solemn.

"Lin Xian."

In the darkness, Chen Sixuan patted Lin Xian's shoulder lightly.

Lin Xian got up, turned around, and came to the window. Through the crack, he looked out.

He didn't know until he looked, and after looking, he felt terrible.

Borrowing the faint light in the dark night, he saw at this time that on the bridge pillar of the iron frame bridge in the back carriage, a huge black shadow was slowly climbing onto the tracks. Dense claws knocked on the bridge pillar and the iron tracks, making a fine clanging sound. He could even see two extremely long tentacles constantly swaying.

Is that the giant insect?!

Lin Xian was shocked in his heart. How could this thing be so persistent? From the Jiang City freight center to Yushan Station, it had driven at least one or two hundred kilometers during the day, how could this thing still follow behind?

Could it be that it had targeted him?

Watching the giant shadow in the dark night slowly approach the tail of Carriage 3, Lin Xian's gaze tightened. He made a decisive decision, activated the Mechanical Heart to run at full power, and made the Whale-03e and Huanxing-7f locomotives roar at the same time.

Run!

At this moment, he only had one thought. This big insect, like the giant white monster that night, couldn't withstand the torture of ordinary armor. Although his "Infinite" used the same rolled steel plates as tank armored vehicles and high-hardening tungsten steel, which was much stronger than the cold storage door, he didn't dare to gamble at all. Moreover, facing this kind of monster, rather than waiting for it to open the can, it was better to let the train rush up. The kinetic energy brought by tens of thousands of horsepower plus hundreds of tons of giant beasts could not be underestimated.

!

Buzz-woo~!

The huge traction force made Chen Sixuan and Kiki stagger. Immediately, the lights in the carriage came on, and at the same time, the train engine was roaring madly.

"Chen Laoshi, driver's cabin!"

Lin Xian drew his short knife and shouted.

Chen Sixuan's heartbeat accelerated. After stabilizing her figure, she also decisively got up and ran toward the driver's cabin, swaying.

Chirp~~~~~!!!!

The sudden start of the "Infinite" immediately enraged the giant red centipede. Only a harsh, sharp cry came from the mountain stream, and immediately the carriage received a violent collision!

Bang!

The huge force directly tilted Carriage 3 by several degrees. At the same time, the entire train shook together. The train's iron wheels sparked, emitting a harsh buzzing sound.

"Not good!"

Lin Xian shouted coldly, immediately picked up the short knife, and rushed toward Carriage 3.

And Kiki, seeing the two one after another, but her hands and feet were still tied, shouted, "Hey!!! Bad guy, untie me!!"

Tap~ tap~ tap~ tap~ tap~ tap~

Under Lin Xian's control, all the blackout boards of the carriages rose in unison. Lin Xian hurried over and immediately saw a red giant shadow climbing onto one side of Carriage 3.

Clang, clang, clang!

The giant insect was extremely fast. Those steps, like mechanical claws, climbed onto the carriage effortlessly. The huge weight immediately made the roof of Carriage 3 emit hollow sounds.

Lin Xian was terrified. This thing was much faster than he had imagined and couldn't be shaken off.

Fearing that this thing would climb onto the roof of the train and overturn it, he decisively lowered the tailboard of the rear carriage. Looking at the dense insect belly steps outside the window, Lin Xian only felt his scalp go cold.

But at this moment, the hydraulic tailboard lowered by one-third and suddenly got stuck. Looking outside, it was exactly the insect body of the red giant insect moving rapidly!

"Damn it!"

Lin Xian didn't be polite. Aiming at the giant insect's abdominal shell, he fired a wind gun!

Pfft!

The full-force strike hit it directly, emitting a hard echo, only breaking one of the hundreds of steps of the red giant insect and flying it out, without causing any major damage at all.

On the contrary, this strike attracted the giant insect's attention. It climbed onto the roof of the carriage quickly. Because the hydraulic tailboard was stuck, the giant insect suddenly rolled up its tail, revealing several tail needles over a meter long, closed them together, and slammed them against the dented tailboard!
