Chapter 32
The "Infinite" sped through a mountain range, and not long after, the view that should have gradually opened up was shrouded in a layer of thick white fog.
In the cockpit, Chen Sixuan looked at the situation on the driving radar while frowning tightly.
"It's not right to have such heavy fog after it snowed..."
"It's also a good thing."
Lin Xian stared at the thick fog ahead. "A train this big entering the city is bound to attract the attention of many survivors. This fog actually saves us a lot of trouble."
Chen Sixuan looked uneasily in the direction of Carriage No. 3, where Kiki was excitedly tuning the motorcycle.
"Do you trust her?"
Compared to the relationship between Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, Kiki was an uninvited guest, and both of them could clearly feel a layer of disguise on this girl that they couldn't see through, so Chen Sixuan was half-believing everything she said.
Lin Xian's expression was calm as he said faintly, "She's a smart person, and she knows that this train can't be driven without me. So unless she has a better survival strategy, otherwise, if she wants to live, cooperating with us should be her best choice."
Chen Sixuan nodded slightly upon hearing this and was about to speak when Lin Xian suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lips fiercely. This action made Chen Sixuan blush instantly, her heart racing. "Oh my... what are you doing?" she whispered shyly.
"Teacher Chen." Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan, his eyes full of appreciation. "It's fortunate I had you last night."
Chen Sixuan was held by him, and hearing Lin Xian's words, she didn't say anything, but joy spread in her heart.
Although she didn't seem strong on the surface, she had been a strong-willed woman since she was a child and was never willing to be treated as a vase. At this moment of life and death, being able to hear Lin Xian's recognition of her suddenly gave her a feeling of being acknowledged.
"Don't underestimate me; after all, I am your teacher..."
Chen Sixuan's words carried a bit of playfulness, but she immediately realized that this sentence seemed a bit ambiguous given their current relationship, and her face couldn't help but change slightly.
Lin Xian smiled faintly. "That's right, they say teachers are the navigators of life, and now you are indeed the navigator of this train."
Clang, clang~
The train passed through the turnout and began to slowly enter a station full of fog. The visibility was very low, less than a few meters. To ensure they wouldn't hit other trains parked in the station, Chen Sixuan quickly pulled down the brake valve.
"Are you still letting me guard the train?"
Lin Xian nodded. "Yes, there are no other better means of self-defense right now. I feel more at ease with you staying on it."
Although it would mean one less teammate to search for supplies, all his belongings were on the "Infinite," and he certainly wouldn't be at ease without someone watching it.
Moreover, Chen Sixuan was just a weak woman with no abilities and no weapons, so guarding the train was the best choice.
Chen Sixuan nodded and said, "Then don't worry, I won't open the door for anyone."
Lin Xian looked at her. "If you encounter an emergency, you can go to the electric locomotive's cockpit to start the train. I taught you that before, right?"
At the same time, he took out a white remote control. "This is the emergency brake for the electric locomotive. In critical moments, it can be used to start it or use the reserve energy to brake."
"Ah, this..."
Chen Sixuan's expression was startled. She found it hard to believe that Lin Xian would let her drive the train, and her heart warmed instantly. She knew this was a sign of Lin Xian's trust in her, so she took it without any pretense and looked at him with firm eyes, saying,
"Okay, I understand."
After giving instructions to Chen Sixuan, Lin Xian looked at the time: 16:50. There were about 2 hours left before it got dark, so he hurried to Carriage No. 3.
At this time, Kiki had already gotten on the motorcycle and put on a pair of wind goggles Lin Xian had prepared for her. She straddled it with her long legs and slender waist, stepping on the clutch quite skillfully, a sexy motorcycle girl image ready to emerge. "I've been waiting for you; there isn't much gas on this bike."
Lin Xian tucked the short knife behind his back and used his ability to slowly lower the tailboard. He walked to the motorcycle and frowned as he looked at Kiki's thin arms and long legs.
"With such heavy fog, don't ride too fast."
"Oh, stop talking nonsense!" Kiki patted the back seat with disdain. "Get on quickly."
Lin Xian sighed and got on the back seat. Just as he was hesitating where to put his hands, Kiki grabbed his hands and placed them on her small waist, saying irritably, "You were so fierce when you kicked me off the train yesterday, why are you being so coy about grabbing my waist now? Hmph~, you hypocrite!"
Lin Xian "..."
The temperature outside had dropped below 0 degrees, and Kiki was still dressed in ultra-short shorts and a navel-baring tube top. The thickest thing on her was that baseball jacket.
Lin Xian held her slender waist with both hands, feeling that although her fair skin felt quite elastic, it was a bit cold, and he couldn't help but say,
"Aren't you afraid of the cold dressed like this?"
"Do I have any other clothes to wear??"
After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Lin Xian, started the bike, shifted gears, released the brake, and the motorcycle roared away.
At the same time, Chen Sixuan, who was guarding the train, quickly retracted the hydraulic tailboard, lowered all the blackout curtains, and turned off the lights inside the train. The entire train disappeared like a ghost in the thick fog.
Woo~ woo~
The white lights of the motorcycle pierced through the fog ahead and drove onto a road leading into the city.
!
In the fog, the surroundings were silent, with only the sound of the motorcycle engine roaring, attracting the hissing sounds of some zombies from all directions.
The sides of the road were full of various broken-down cars, and the various trash on the road was covered with a thin layer of white snow. Lin Xian felt the biting cold wind, and his worries grew deeper.
The passenger train carriages had a heating system, but the ones on the "Infinite" were things from decades ago, and Lin Xian had never started them. If he were to repair or install heating equipment, it would be no small project.
Moreover, turning on the heating system would consume even more electricity.
If it weren't for the reserve power of the Ring Star 7f electric locomotive assisting in the big battle last night, Lin Xian's physical strength would not have been enough to support the battle with the giant insect while still being able to run three or four hundred kilometers.
So the trouble brought by the extreme cold was far more serious than he had imagined.
Kiki set up her phone in front of the motorcycle, which had a map she had preset. Although there was no navigation system, she seemed to have memorized the route by heart and drove very quickly into the fog.
Lin Xian sat in the back, curious. "How come it feels like you've been here before?"
"Pfft, my sense of direction is excellent. There are only a few streets in this place; how complicated can the road conditions be? Hold on tight!"
After saying that, she twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle accelerated again. But just as they had driven a few hundred meters, Kiki suddenly squeezed the brake hard!
Screech!!
The sound of tires rubbing echoed on the street, and behind them came a series of sounds of zombies approaching.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xian asked.
Kiki frowned as she looked at the fog ahead and said slowly,
"There's something ahead!"
