If the odometer’s accurate, we’re only about fifty kilometers from Beiwan Town.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the nearby sofa and saw Kiki already awake, sitting with a sleepy smile, waving at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re better?” Lin Xian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine!” Kiki beamed. “Slept a bit—much better!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned, suddenly staring at her: “I think I forgot to tie you up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, Kiki’s face darkened instantly. “Hey, I saved you yesterday! Are you really going to tie me up again?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to tie you.” Lin Xian said seriously. “Given your performance last night, I’ll overlook your stealing food. But if you lie to me now, I’ll still throw you off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki frowned, nervous, stammering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what question?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it true or false that your father is the boss of Linglong Group and a Level Two investor in the Dawn Project?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki frowned. “Didn’t you say you weren’t interested in that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Answer my question!” Lin Xian said bluntly. He sensed this girl was flighty, her words unreliable, and now that she knew how to use her ability, if he didn’t pin down her stance, he couldn’t keep her alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lin Xian’s severity, Chen Sixuan couldn’t help but feel tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought to herself: how had she never noticed Lin Xian’s depth and decisive aura? When stern, he made her feel like his student, not his teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true!” Kiki glared at Lin Xian, thinking this guy was terrifyingly harsh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you take the helicopter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sure—I only know it was heading toward Daluoshan…” Kiki said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian judged her tone as genuine and pressed on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know why the plane crashed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s face paled. She shook her head. “I don’t remember much—the plane suddenly lost control. Above… something was there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the massive cloud mass above Jiang City must contain something terrifying, something chilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That oppressive presence even surpassed the arrival of night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, last question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian exhaled, studying Kiki with a sharp gaze: “You’re young, yet you know a lot about tech gear. Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki tensed at the mention of the final question—but when she heard it, she relaxed, eyes brightening with confidence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re underestimating me. I know every cutting-edge information system you can imagine—I’ve hacked every corner of the net. Before, I could get you specs for the Interstellar Army’s most advanced heavy integrated armor. Ever heard of the compound multi-aperture photonic radar? Or the I-17 multi-lobed plasma cannon, still experimental and classified? I know way more fun stuff than that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your 2028-model Whale 03e heavy gas turbine vehicle has been retired for nearly ten years—it’s barely suited for the turbulence and salt storms of transoceanic tracks. And you’ve only driven under a thousand kilometers—you’re nowhere near the oceanic track segment. Food, water, air, information, defense, medical—all are blank except for the temporary lack of power. Am I right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Chen Sixuan stared in disbelief—how could this girl know so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New book, please follow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1098,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3e3aeb5655ae6fcaab189261fe2778e714d5cc3c570ca09201fa9f7ac406a50d","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-31","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-29",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
