Lin Xian, on edge, sat behind wielding his knife in slashing strikes while his left hand continuously fired wind spears, fleeing through the endless tide of zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wind spear severed a female zombie at the waist; at that moment, a black grotesque insect was blasted out from the corpse’s back. Lin Xian’s expression darkened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These aren’t ordinary zombies!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was stunned—according to past experience, these grotesques only appeared at night. How were they out in broad daylight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, driving, saw a dozen grotesques surge forward in an instant; in desperation, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand—whirr! A powerful shockwave erupted, blasting the grotesques away and allowing the motorcycle to break through the encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Kiki use her ability, Lin Xian instantly sensed trouble; the motorcycle’s handlebar trembled slightly. He turned his head and saw Kiki’s face had visibly turned deathly pale, her hands gripping the controls trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately activated his Mechanical Heart to take control of the motorcycle. Just as Kiki was startled by the sudden loss of control, Lin Xian yanked her backward onto the rear seat and leapt onto the front, twisting the throttle to resume motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, what are you doing~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This fog’s dangerous—don’t use your ability recklessly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All survivors knew grotesques appeared at night; it was daytime, and Lin Xian had assumed he and Kiki, as psychics, could handle anything. But the sudden appearance of these grotesques caught him off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These grotesques moved far faster than zombies; ordinary people without firearms wouldn’t even have time to react. This instantly made him consider retreating—if grotesques appeared in this fog, wouldn’t something like the white giant or the crimson giant centipede be nearby too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian shifted his thoughts instantly and decided to abandon his original objective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turn left up ahead.” Behind him, Kiki—perhaps sensing her own weakness—rarely argued with Lin Xian; instead, she clung to his back like a kitten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d already been cold, and after using her ability, she felt icy shivers coursing through her body, so she instinctively tightened her grip on Lin Xian, forcing her racing heart to seek warmth from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t reach your destination—let’s go back!” Lin Xian said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki turned to look at the tidal wave of zombies behind them and muttered bitterly, “How are we supposed to go back…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian glanced in the rearview mirror, then at the map. To return to Beiwan Station, they could either retrace their path or detour around the city’s outer roads—but with zombies chasing them, he couldn’t turn back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a sharp whistling sound pierced the air; Lin Xian looked ahead into the fog and felt every hair on his body stand on end!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed the brake and swerved sharply; the next second, a bamboo-pole-like object shot down from above, striking the ground beside them with a metallic *ding*, cratering the concrete and sending shards flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian broke into cold sweat—if he hadn’t instinctively swerved, he’d have been impaled through the chest. “What the hell is that?!” Kiki shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The motorcycle’s rear wheel spun wildly, screeching shrilly; after just a few meters, the whistling sound came again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another sharp pole plunged down from above; Lin Xian twisted the handlebar, barely avoiding a head-on collision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he saw clearly—the “bamboo-pole-like object” was covered in dense black fine hairs, as if alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look up, bad guy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kiki, terrified, slapped Lin Xian’s shoulder; he instantly looked upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above them, within the mist, loomed a massive shadow shaped like a spider; the outlines of buildings beside the street seemed small beside it. Its six disproportionately long legs appeared over ten meters long—and the objects that had just plunged down from above were clearly two of its spider limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This fucking thing…” Lin Xian’s pupils trembled; he cursed inwardly—just as he thought of it, it showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grotesque, colossal spider made one’s sanity plummet; without hesitation, Lin Xian floored the throttle and charged straight into the thick fog ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh, why is it always spiders or insects!!” Kiki hunched her neck, clinging tightly to Lin Xian, muttering curses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression was taut, eyes locked on the road ahead through the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~ Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grotesque spider had clearly locked onto Lin Xian; several long legs moved swiftly, repeatedly stabbing down from within the fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Left!” Kiki shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian quickly turned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Above!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian slammed the brake again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the spider’s legs were too long, and its speed between buildings far outpaced his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~ Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, a massive creature scaled buildings rapidly; in moments, the grotesque spider extended several long legs ahead of the intersection, blocking Lin Xian’s path like a predator toying with its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the colossal spider slowly descend from the fog ahead, Lin Xian prepared to fire a wind cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, the roar of an engine exploded; white headlights pierced the fog from the opposite direction, and a massive modified pickup truck burst forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive impact knocked down several of the spider’s long legs; the creature lost balance and collapsed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, the modified pickup executed a sharp drift and skidded to a stop directly before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truck’s rear gate lowered; an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl shouted toward them, “Get on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian understood instantly; without hesitation, he twisted the throttle and drove the motorcycle onto the truck’s cargo bed. The girl immediately slapped the side of the bed and shouted, “All set, big brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vroom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, the modified pickup slammed the throttle and sped off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grotesque spider, sensing mockery, let out a furious roar and scrambled upward with all six legs, racing after the truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New author, please follow and recommend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1211,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0d1040cc97f8a9de22f2cb4285d6cae896af89f02da2ac5e8eac3692026ed9b6","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-34","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-32",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
