Kong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a sharp biting sound appeared on the roof, emitting a terrifying metallic tearing noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian, enraged, feared the carriage would be bitten through, and immediately fired his wind gun like a man possessed at the white soft shell beneath the insect’s tail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff! Puff! Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frenzied wind cannon finally showed results, shattering several pieces of the white soft shell on the insect’s abdomen; the massive impact blasted a bloodied hole, and dark green insect blood gushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect, writhing in pain, yanked its tail needle back, curled it again, and aimed once more at the already dented tailgate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s pupils narrowed—he knew the tailgate couldn’t hold. He spun around and roared at Kiki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the massive tail needle pierced straight through the tailgate and into the carriage. Kiki, crouched on the floor, was frantically cutting the nylon zip-ties around her feet with the knife. Hearing Lin Xian’s shout, she looked up—and saw countless shards of shattered steel flying toward her like bullets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She froze, her pupils dilating rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her not dodge or move, Lin Xian’s heart sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he suddenly appeared in Kiki’s line of sight, accompanied by a rapidly forming wall of ice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian had already lunged in front of her and raised his hand—swiped!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff! Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The azure ice wall had barely formed when several black steel shards embedded deeply into it, shattering into ice fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki let out a soft cry as Lin Xian pulled her into his arms and dodged aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ow~” Kiki was crushed beneath him; the ropes binding her hands and feet snapped apart. She glanced at Lin Xian, who lay atop her, her expression alarmed. “Hey, jerk, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian struggled to his feet, his face grim and fierce as he stared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t help, we’re all dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I-I-I… I’ll try!” In desperation, she leapt up, gritted her teeth, waved her hands frantically, and shouted, “Hey!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s eyes widened—he immediately rose to yell at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kiki suddenly changed expression, pointing toward Car 3 and shrieked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect, having pierced the tailgate, had found its opening; it thrashed inside, then retracted. It turned around—and two crimson tentacles shot through the hole in the tailgate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now both Lin Xian and Kiki saw the monstrous, pincer-equipped maw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong! Kong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect gave Lin Xian no breathing room—it began tearing at the already damaged tailgate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this insect got inside, all three of them would die today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instantly rose, raised his hand, and fired two wind guns straight at the insect’s mouthparts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff-puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flesh exploded—the insect’s mouth was struck directly, bursting with dark green insect plasma, letting out a deafening roar that made everyone in the carriage’s scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect, writhing in pain, happened to have its lower half hooked onto a row of iron fence posts beside the tracks. With the “Infinity” train accelerating, the pulling force nearly ripped the insect clean off the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the insect’s walking legs gripped Car 3 tightly, causing the entire train to suddenly slow. The massive inertia threw everyone off balance, nearly sending them sprawling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cockpit, Chen Sixuan was nearly thrown onto the control panel by the sudden deceleration. She turned back—and far ahead, saw a giant worm frantically clinging and writhing on Car 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately shouted to Lin Xian:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on! There’s a curve ahead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian heard this, immediately wrapped his arms around Kiki’s waist, grabbed the handle of Car 3’s gate, and activated his Mechanical Heart to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the speed was too high, the train could derail. Under these conditions, he had to reduce speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank-clank-clank…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the insect’s lower half was snagged by more and more wire mesh along the roadside; its walking legs scraped grooves into the carriage, sparks flying, screeching horribly, while the crimson insect continuously emitted shrill cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the train entered a curve. The powerful centrifugal force wrapped the insect’s lower half around even more fence posts—until it could no longer withstand the train’s pull. It shrieked, slid off the top of Car 3, and rolled down the slope beside the tracks. Clang. Clang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, silence returned to the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was close…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the insect gone, Lin Xian finally exhaled—his back was soaked in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you okay?” Chen Sixuan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re fine!” Lin Xian braced his hands on the floor. Just as he prepared to rise from atop Kiki, a roar erupted from the left side of the carriage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath him, Kiki screamed: “Watch out! It’s back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive crimson shadow slammed into the side, shaking the entire carriage violently. One set of iron wheels tore free from the rails, emitting a long metallic wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian, caught off guard, was blasted through the air along with his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he thought Car 3 would topple and derail, and he’d crash into the carriage wall—a forceless power suddenly seized him, halting him mid-air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stared in shock, turned his head—and saw Kiki sitting up, reaching out one hand, her face panicked, her eyes flickering with faint white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then that invisible force pulled Car 3 back into place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wheels returned to the rails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s ability—she could lift an entire carriage?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, the insect had climbed back onto the train’s side and instantly thrust out a pincer, biting down hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, you’re relentless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Sixuan ahead, her gaze resolute, shouted: “Accelerate! Three kilometers ahead is a mountain tunnel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s heart leapt—he instantly understood Chen Sixuan’s intent. He immediately activated his Mechanical Heart to accelerate, while lowering the hydraulic tailgate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That idiot girl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you calling an idiot?!” Kiki snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian pulled the coupling hook from the rear, his expression grave: “Use your ability to hook that beast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s expression shifted. She stared at the insect, her eyes showing rare seriousness. Knowing this was life or death, she stopped arguing with Lin Xian and said firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She frowned, recalling the sensation from before, raised both hands, and attempted to channel her ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, the invisible force reappeared, yanking the coupling hook from Lin Xian’s hand, then swiftly wrapping around the insect’s tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect whipped its tail, causing the transmission mechanism to groan and spew thick black smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s eyes bulged: “Don’t let it escape!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, orange-yellow headlights illuminated a dark tunnel entrance. Chen Sixuan gripped the cockpit handrail and shouted behind her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect sensed danger and shrieked—but its jaws were locked onto the side armor, and its tail was entangled by the metal hook; it couldn’t break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Accelerate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian scooped up Kiki and leapt into Car 2, while violently activating his Mechanical Heart, channeling all his strength into propulsion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gas turbine and electric locomotive roared together, accelerating the front cars into the tunnel—while Car 3 at the rear exploded with a thunderous crash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant crimson centipede’s massive body slammed into the tunnel wall, instantly crushing Car 3 off the rails. The opposite side of the carriage smashed into the wall, sparks flying, glass shattering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Squeeeeeee!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insect let out a piercing shriek, its walking legs thrashing wildly to escape—but it was already dragged fully in by the train’s inertia, crushed under the carriage’s weight, its thick carapace grinding against the tunnel wall with a deafening screech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Kiki, pinned beneath Lin Xian, gritted her teeth, veins visible in her eyes. She raised her hand, gripping the coupling hook tightly to the insect’s tail, refusing to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss-hiss-hiss! Crack-crack-crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage echoed with earth-shattering vibrations and shrieks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three kilometers of tunnel felt like an instant—and yet an eternity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the deafening noise vanished. Accompanied by the groan of metal being pulled, Car 3 was dragged back onto the rails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, please follow and read!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1447,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","68243ca54ccc4623843c8aed301db0627e8b902dbcbba697900c8a4ce32c3f77","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-29","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-27",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
