Though it took seven or eight hours, the rewards were exceptionally substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stared at the screen before him—his Strength and Defense had both leveled up, and his Mechanical Heart had finally reached Level 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, since his Defense attribute had upgraded, all three physical stats now displayed clear numerical parameters, and after the Mechanical Heart’s upgrade, his acquired skills now bore explicit level indicators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This looked extremely intuitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Wind Cannon and Ice Shield are both common skills. That means there must be higher-tier skills. If I ever get the chance to devour that close-defense cannon or that ‘Tiewei 3’ military assault armor, maybe I’ll get a surprise…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Explosive power of 200 kg class… damn, I’m stronger than a professional boxer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Decomposition Space skill, though passive, was practically perfect in utility in Lin Xian’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, scanning blueprints for mechanical crafting was a nightmare, especially collecting materials. Now, devouring directly yielded materials, and he’d gained a storage space for them—this was downright incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback was that the space could only receive materials from mechanical devours—it couldn’t store arbitrary items. That was a pity; otherwise, he might have actually hauled away that close-defense cannon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, if he could do that, devouring large machines in the future would become far easier. Still, he was content. Lin Xian now looked forward to what awakening skill he’d gain at Level 3, or what stronger abilities he might acquire through further devours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, relying solely on Wind Cannon against those monsters was downright pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two new helpers, the “Infinity” no longer felt so empty. After eating and drinking a little on board to regain some energy, Lin Xian stepped off to lend a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Ye was currently helping Kiki carry computers and servers out of the air raid shelter. She planned to convert Car 2 into an information center and her private sleeping space, even dragging out the bunk beds from the shelter dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan and Shasha, wearing gas masks from the armory, were scouring the guard post courtyard for scattered weapons and supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Lin Xian had initially worried—night had fallen, and zombies still lurked nearby, while the ground teemed with terrifying black insects. Yet Chen Sixuan and Shasha each held a gun, diligently searching and gathering, hauling out blood-smeared supply crates without so much as a frown. One had to admit, extreme environments forged the human psyche relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian was pondering how to take away both the “Tiewei 3” military assault armor and the heavy TFV600 twin-barreled tank for further study on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after taking just two steps, he heard a rustling sound from far down the tracks. He frowned and immediately moved toward it. Not far ahead, he spotted a limping black shadow frantically fleeing into the depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression turned cold. Hadn’t he just killed him? How was this bastard still alive…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So resilient?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised a finger, ready to blast the scumbag who’d killed hundreds of survivors. But then, several shadows of zombies slowly emerged. Just as Lin Xian expected Tang Hai to panic, Tang Hai merely sidestepped and walked calmly through the gap between the zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai’s strange reaction caught Lin Xian’s attention. Why weren’t the zombies noticing him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The zombies, moving sluggishly, took a few steps before seemingly catching a whiff of blood, then turned and lunged at Tang Hai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no… you monsters aren’t supposed to see me?!” Tang Hai suddenly screamed in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Xian’s finger paused, his face filled with disbelief. Tang Hai actually believed the zombies couldn’t see him? Had he lost his mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just moments ago, he had clearly seen Tang Hai walk past the zombies without fear—only a slight sidestep, no hesitation, no luck involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on…” Lin Xian’s expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the zombies, overcome with bloodlust, swarmed Tang Hai, piling on and tearing into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah!! No!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai struggled and screamed for a moment, then fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned slightly. To avoid triggering a chain reaction, he raised his hand and fired several Wind Cannons, eliminating the zombies. To ensure total safety, he walked straight toward Tang Hai’s corpse, prepared to finish him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then something even stranger happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Hai’s still-warm corpse began to violently tremble. The blood aura of nearby dead zombies began flowing toward him in visible liquid streams, rapidly turning his entire body a deep crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the blood gathered into a thick, pulsing blood cocoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s pupils narrowed. His instincts screamed that this was no good omen. Had Tang Hai’s earlier unconscious movement—walking past zombies unnoticed—been some kind of hidden ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought flashed through his mind, sending a chill through him. He no longer held back—several Wind Spears shot directly at the blood cocoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever you are, a dead Tang Hai is a good Tang Hai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff! Puff! Puff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upgraded Wind Cannons struck with greater force, tearing through the cocoon with sharp whistles, piercing it with bloody holes and spraying out grayish-white flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Definitely strange!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s face changed. He raised his hand again, preparing to fire more Wind Spears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, the blood cocoon seemed to sense danger, thrashed violently, then exploded with a loud bang. A thin, gray-white figure shot out and vanished instantly into the thick fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing something was wrong, Lin Xian chased a few steps—but the black shadow and fog had swallowed all traces of life. Remembering that Chen Laoshi and Shasha were still down in the courtyard nearby, he hurried back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With night and fog enveloping everything—even zombies could emerge from shadows—he decided it was safer to have everyone board the train early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank! Clank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Infinity” quickly returned to Beiwan Station’s platform. Without delay, Lin Xian teamed up with Chen Sixuan to reorganize the carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lou Ye was also skilled with tools. With the three working together, the train’s reconfiguration was swiftly completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Whale 03e heavy gas turbine locomotive and the Ring Star 7f electric locomotive remained at the front. Car 1 and Car 2 remained unchanged. Tang Hai’s two cargo-filled passenger cars were placed behind Car 2, becoming the new Car 3 and Car 4. The original Car 3, which had stored tools and featured a rear ramp, became Car 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, four flatbed trailers carried two military jeeps, one heavy off-road vehicle, and Qian Yu’s armored vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the original short-haul freight electric locomotive was dragged at the rear. It had no coupled carriages and was cumbersome to haul. Lin Xian planned to devour it after leaving the mist—perhaps it would yield a major reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For convenience in managing the tool carriages, Lin Xian assigned Lou Ye to guard Car 5, while Lou Shasha moved into Car 2 with Kiki—the two now shared a bunk bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New author, please follow and recommend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8502d815cd23483d8939bd4c7c06a5c31ae71da30c3e378a514217be53c6b92d","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-46","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-44",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
