~7 min read 1,364 words

Ugh!

A scalp-tingling howl rings out. Watching this scene, Lin Xian's expression turns cold. This girl is still young, and even though he has seen many human tragedies these days, he still can't bear it.

Just when Lin Xian thinks the girl is about to be eaten by the corpse and the insect, an invisible shockwave suddenly vibrates from the girl, emitting a loud roar. Before Lin Xian can react, the door in front of him and he himself are blown away by a wave of air!

Boom!

In an instant, all the glass in the room shatters, and the furniture is broken into pieces.

Lin Xian is terrified, blown away by the shockwave, and slams hard into the iron shutter of the living room window, his eardrums buzzing!

Fortunately, his physical attributes have been enhanced, otherwise he would have passed out on the spot.

The sudden change shakes the entire apartment building. In an instant, countless howls erupt, appearing densely in the hallway.

"It's over!"

Lin Xian crawls up from the ground and immediately senses something is wrong. At this moment, "Old Man Li," controlled by the monster insect, also rushes into the living room at some point.

He turns on his flashlight and sees "Old Man Li" climbing on all fours, leaping up from the ground, howling, and pouncing toward him with a strong, fishy stench.

Lin Xian gasps, blood surging. He immediately retreats a few steps, raises his hand, and fires a Wind Cannon!

Swish!

In his shock and anger, he pours all his strength into it, and a fierce wind spear blasts out!

Ugh!!!

In an instant, black blood splatters. The monster corpse is hit head-on by this wind spear, half of its face is blown open, and it rolls to the side, with some corpse pieces scattered on the ground.

Despite his shock, Lin Xian doesn't hesitate, grabs his dagger, and rushes up to pierce the black insect hard!

Puchi!

Squeak~!!

The black insect lets out a strange cry, its dense legs twitching wildly. Lin Xian grips the dagger tightly, not daring to be careless. Who would have thought that this black insect, seeing it couldn't break free, would directly twist its body and break off from the blade, then quickly escape into the shadows.

"Damn, this thing is so smart?!"

Lin Xian curses. The huge commotion attracts countless zombies rushing up. He didn't expect his shelter to be destroyed all of a sudden. He immediately grabs his backpack, stuffs some supplies into it, and then his gaze falls on the hallway.

The girl is lying on the ground motionless. After causing such a big commotion, this girl is still unconscious?

Lin Xian's CPU is running wildly. Unsurprisingly, this girl must be some kind of superhuman, but he doesn't know why she came to him. In his anxiety, he grits his teeth, thinking he'll save her first, so he picks up the girl and runs down the stairs toward the fire escape.

His shelter is destroyed, so he has to rush into the underground tunnel. At this moment, countless zombies rush into the stairwell from all directions, chasing Lin Xian who is running all the way.

Pop! Pop!

Along the way, Lin Xian uses the Wind Cannon skill to kill several zombies one after another, finally running to the side of "Infinite." He presses his hand on the train body, activates the Mechanical Heart, and the driver's cabin door opens. Lin Xian pushes the girl in first, then climbs into the driver's cabin himself.

Bang! The heavy cabin door closes, and the tunnel lights turn on. Lin Xian leans against the steel wall, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Ugh! Ugh!

The zombie tide rushes over, surrounding the entire train in just a few minutes, countless sharp claws scratching at the train, making a creaking sound.

But the zombies clearly don't understand that this steel giant not only weighs hundreds of tons, but even the thinnest part is at least 40 millimeters thick. Ordinary bullets would only leave a white mark, let alone a dent. How could the rotten claws of zombies cause any damage?

Lin Xian wipes his sweat. He comes to Carriage No. 1 and opens a side shutter. The lights in the train instantly illuminate countless ferocious, rotten, howling faces. Click, he pulls the shutter back down.

Fortunately, he completed the installation of the armor for the whole train according to the plan today, so he checks it again just to be sure, and then turns off all the lights in the train.

At the same time, he comes to the driver's cabin and finds a black remote control.

At the other end of the tunnel, he set up a large remote-controlled loudspeaker, just to serve as bait to start the vehicle after being besieged by the zombie tide.

Beep~

In the distance, a huge sound comes, immediately attracting all the zombies to rush over mindlessly.

After a while, the scratching sound outside the train gradually quiets down. Lin Xian in the train sighs in relief. He turns on the phone's flashlight and begins to check the girl's injuries.

But to his surprise, the girl has no external injuries at all. The blood on her body doesn't seem to be hers...

This girl... is strange.

Lin Xian looks at the sleeping little girl, secretly helpless. The appearance of this girl completely disrupted his plan. The most critical thing is that, based on his intuition, this girl must have some special ability, otherwise it would be impossible for her to run to his door in the dark night safely without any external injuries.

Bringing such a girl is undoubtedly a potential unstable factor for Lin Xian.

After thinking about it, Lin Xian finds some ropes, ties the sleeping girl's hands and feet tightly, then carries her to Carriage No. 2, and finds a blanket for her to lie on.

After doing all this, Lin Xian returns to Carriage No. 1 and begins to think about the follow-up plan.

At this time, Lin Xian frowns and re-opens the map to search.

"If I start the train tomorrow and follow Line 3 to find Chen Laoshi, would it be closer?"

This idea is very bold. If it works, he will save a large part of the danger factor on the road, and at the same time, he can test the performance of the locomotive.

!

Sure enough, through map inquiry, Lin Xian finds that the residential area where Chen Sixuan is located is less than three hundred meters from the nearest subway entrance.

"Heh~"

He chuckles, "Such a good location, Chen Laoshi, your house is in the right place..."

A sleepless night. Lin Xian spent the night on "Infinite" for the first time. Although the sturdy fortress he built with his own hands brought him a lot of security, the changes that happened tonight still made him feel uneasy.

This is the first time he has encountered a "bizarre" thing in the dark night. Although it was just a monster insect, that thing was really too disgusting and obviously much smarter than zombies. Plus, a mysterious girl is lying in his carriage now, which makes it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.

14:00, dawn is one hour later again.

Lin Xian is in the tunnel and can't see any light, but the watch prompt tells him that it should be dawn outside.

He sits in the driver's seat of "Infinite," a mysterious light flashes in his eyes, and his whole person seems to be connected to the breath of this behemoth.

Whoosh~

The boost turbine begins to roar, the crankshaft connecting rod makes a harsh metallic sound, the horizon gate opens, click! The orange-yellow headlights instantly make the pitch-black subway passage as bright as day.

Lin Xian's eyes narrow.

Time to go, friend.

Clank, clank~

The steel giant that has been sealed for decades is reawakened. Dust and iron filings fall constantly. Infinite drags three armored carriages and slowly merges from the maintenance lane into the subway trunk line, constantly swallowing the black fog in front, roaring away!
