What are you guys doing?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as both sides were on the verge of conflict, Lou Shasha pushed through the crowd holding a grenade launcher, while the tall man Lou Ye followed behind with a machine gun in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re on the same side, Qian. If you’ve got guts, go ahead and shoot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Shasha was young and short, yet she stood firmly in front of Lin Xian and Kiki, holding that massive weapon—she radiated the aura of a fierce little sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yu’s gaze swept over the men glaring at him; his expression flickered uncertainly, then after a long pause, he gritted his teeth and conceded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, don’t take it personally—I just admire your strength and came here hoping to cooperate. If I offended you, please forgive me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, exactly, exactly…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Tang Hai finally chimed in, playing the peacemaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, calm down. Our lives are at stake—this fog has trapped us all here. Let’s focus on our current situation first. Other grudges can wait until we get out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian suddenly turned to look at Tang Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so? I hope you really think that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere turned strangely tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai’s eyelid twitched slightly; he looked at Lin Xian’s expression and gave a faint smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course. I know none of us trust each other—it’s fine. I don’t trust you either. But we all want to survive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and pointed to the people behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve been in this bunker for months. Dozens of us are here now. Everyone wants to live. Bringing you in actually puts us at great risk—can’t you see our sincerity for cooperation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bunker?” Lin Xian’s gaze swept toward the distant mountainside. “Can we stay inside tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone can enter the bunker to rest tonight—it’s significantly safer inside,” Tang Hai immediately told the leaders of each convoy, as if demonstrating goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nephew Feng Yuming spoke up: “Uncle, there are too many people here. Won’t it be too crowded inside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squeeze in,” Tang Hai sighed. “The space inside is still quite large.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allowing everyone into the bunker did ease some people’s suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet although he made the suggestion, none of the convoy leaders responded—they all stared with strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks. Our team never leaves the vehicles. We’ll keep watch all night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Yu was the first to reply. After the tension eased, he coldly glanced at Lin Xian and Kiki, then turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other convoy leaders also declined one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We don’t need it either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll just regroup tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same here…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no one respond, Tang Hai said nothing, but Feng Yuming wore a look of disdain. “Pfft. How can a vehicle be safer than a bunker? These idiots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai rebuked him. “Forget it. It’s fine if everyone sticks to their own groups.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, this reaction from the convoy leaders was perfectly normal. Not only could they not trust Tang Hai, but these people had fled for their lives—everything they owned was in their vehicles. To them, nowhere was safer than their own vehicles. If danger struck, they could flee immediately. Under these circumstances, who would go into your bunker?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai now turned to Lin Xian. “I’ll have Yuming show you inside. Pick any spot you like, rest well. Tomorrow we’ll need your help again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all in the same boat. No need for formalities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian smiled politely—perfectly hitting the mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d planned to investigate the bunker anyway. Though there were a few decent treasures in the courtyard outside, he couldn’t just devour machinery in front of hundreds of people. This was the perfect excuse to probe Tang Hai’s intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Tang Hai to actually agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So while his face showed polite amusement, his mind grew suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai’s actions made no sense—even in this apocalypse, they seemed almost foolish. Yet under the banner of cooperation for survival, Lin Xian couldn’t tell what the man truly wanted. He could only hold back his suspicions. Since the fog blocked escape, he and Kiki would simply wait and observe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was about to head toward the bunker when he noticed Lou Shasha beside him and stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha saw his gaze and quickly waved her hands, pointing toward the pickup truck. “You guys go ahead. My brother and I are used to sleeping in the vehicle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful,” Lou Ye muttered a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian nodded and walked through the crowd of convoy members toward the bunker at the mountain’s base. Kiki hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, bad guy, our motorcycle’s still on that truck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? You want to go inside the bunker?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian replied. As he walked, he suddenly felt a gaze on him. He turned—and saw Feng Yuming, standing beside Tang Hai, following them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, brother, everyone inside is ours—mostly ordinary people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki frowned. She didn’t grasp his meaning and blurted out: “Ordinary people… so what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian exhaled slowly and said calmly: “We’re just looking for a place to rest tonight. We won’t disturb you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yuming’s eyes flickered uncertainly over the two of them, then said nothing more. He turned and led the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Climbing the slope, the first thing visible was a freight platform. A freight rail line cut through the valley from within the fog. Behind the platform stood a large bunker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the bunker’s side, on the mountainside, was an 1130 Close-In Weapon System, its imposing silhouette visible through the mist. Lin Xian’s eyes widened—this was something he’d only seen on TV. He never expected to find a real one here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this wasn’t an ordinary military outpost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering through the iron gate, the first sight was a hollowed-out cavernous space designed to store various military vehicles and supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bunker’s hangar was now completely empty. Lin Xian guessed Tang Hai’s jeeps must have been found here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing through the empty hangar, Feng Yuming led the way down a staircase. In the underground facilities, Tang Hai’s survivors sat in small groups around the main hall, eating. Most were ordinary civilians from Beiwan County—men, women, children, families scattered across the basement’s corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Tang Hai’s words, they’d originally been more numerous. But as days passed, more people died. Many grew silent and withdrawn; despair weighed heavily on everyone’s hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a warehouse, dormitories, an operations room, and a weapons depot. Pick anywhere you like,” Feng Yuming said coldly, then turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Weapons depot?” Lin Xian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing left,” Feng Yuming turned back, sneering. “If there’d been anything good, we’d have taken it already. Do you think we’d leave it for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned away dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian watched his back, raised an eyebrow slightly, then without a word, led Kiki straight toward the weapons depot at the end of the corridor, under the watchful eyes of the survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, I knew you’d come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki grinned at Lin Xian. “But this place was looted too clean~ Too bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, that guy just said everyone inside was ordinary people. What did he mean?” Kiki suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you realize we’re now the biggest threat here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian said as they walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, he’s afraid we’ll rob them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s normal. One adept can be the core of a convoy. We’re two, alone, and unattached—of course they see us as dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just a simple bunker. Though the surface was only a small military outpost, beneath it lay a complete underground facility equipped with an information warfare room, weapons depot, storage, dormitories, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A perfect hiding place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, this was a natural post-apocalypse shelter. With sufficient supplies, it could support at least fifty people for over half a year. But judging from the survivors’ condition, while they had plenty of military vehicles, guns, and ammo, food supplies seemed to be running low—otherwise they wouldn’t have tried to flee before the polar night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the weapons depot door, only empty shelves remained. Aside from gas masks and helmets—useless junk—the place had been stripped clean by Tang Hai’s survivors. The entire depot reeked of feces and urine, making Lin Xian’s head spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki covered her nose and stepped back. “Let’s find another place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New author, please follow and recommend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1381,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bdb9bf2df475278ccd08cb378cc9042fea043518ffa18739ce78f33c803d36ed","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-39","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-37",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
