Chapter 7

Clank, clank.

After the polar night, this was the first time Jiang City had such a locomotive railway sound.

The movement of this giant beast naturally aroused the curiosity of some survivors who were prepared to hide at home along the railway line. Along the way, some gazes fell, all looking in surprise at this giant locomotive that was running.

Chen Sixuan ate the bread ravenously, drank more than half a bottle of water, and only then did she feel like she had returned from the brink of death where she was freezing all over.

She was quiet for a while, feeling the train moving slowly, and the whole person had a sense of misery of surviving a disaster.

Coming back to her senses, Chen Sixuan began to look at this steel carriage that gave her a full sense of security. The windows outside were welded with heavy steel plates, leaving only fine grille holes to see the scene outside retreating.

And all the seats in the original passenger carriage were removed and arranged into a living area, with floor mats and a tent on the ground, and most of the space was vacant and used to place supplies. In addition, there was a bathroom from the original passenger carriage.

Although it was a bit crowded and messy, it gave a sense of security that was comfortable and cozy.

Chen Sixuan looked back and found that Carriage No. 2 was empty, with some unknown supplies placed in waterproof bags. At this time, her small mouth suddenly opened, and her face showed shock.

Because she saw a girl with her hands and feet tied lying in the corner of Carriage No. 2, her eyes closed, life or death unknown.

Chen Sixuan was so scared that she covered her mouth. She didn't know what was going on, thinking that maybe it was a woman kidnapped by Lin Xian?

But she couldn't figure out why kidnapping a little girl had any value in this environment.

Could it be...

Chen Sixuan was lost in thought at this time, but didn't know that Lin Xian had walked into the carriage.

"Chen Laoshi."

"Ah!" Chen Sixuan, who was lost in thought, was suddenly startled by this voice, turned her head in panic, but saw Lin Xian looking at her calmly.

"Are you feeling better?"

"She... who is she?" Chen Sixuan felt suspicious and asked Lin Xian tentatively.

Lin Xian looked at Carriage No. 2. "I don't know who she is. She suddenly appeared outside my door and asked me to save her. As a result, she has been unconscious. For the sake of safety, I had to tie her hands and feet first."

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan let out a long sigh of relief in her heart and couldn't help but laugh at herself.

It was clearly her who begged to get on Lin Xian's train. No matter what the fate was, it was her own choice. What was there to worry about...

"Are we preparing to leave the city now?"

"Not for the time being."

Lin Xian said, "I still have some essential supplies to prepare, and by the way, I also need to test the performance of the locomotive. There are four days left until the polar night, so it should be in time."

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian, her eyes full of courage.

"Then what do you need me to do for you?"

Since they were going to be in the same boat in the future, Chen Sixuan felt that she must show her value, rather than being a vase.

"I do."

Lin Xian took out a driving log from the driver's cabin and threw it to her, saying in a deep voice,

"I am responsible for driving, and you are responsible for recording the daily driving route, mileage, stops, and vehicle condition. Because we don't know the laws and coverage of the dark tide yet, we need to calculate the sunrise change time every day during the escape process. This point is very important. If the direction is wrong, we may never escape the polar night."

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan nodded solemnly. "Okay, I understand, I can do this!"

"And also..." Lin Xian scanned the carriage. "There are only two of us for now, so I need you to help me count and manage the supplies, and by the way, help me keep an eye on that girl."

Chen Sixuan looked back at the sleeping girl and said unexpectedly,

"Don't you need me to go down the train with you to find supplies?"

The implication was, do you trust me so much that you leave me alone on the train?

Lin Xian smiled faintly.

"I said, there are only two of us for now. If we both get off the train, who will guard the train?"

Lin Xian heard the implication in Chen Sixuan's words, but he didn't point it out.

Because there was no oil in the fuel tank of this locomotive at all, even an experienced old driver couldn't drive it away. And Lin Xian wasn't worried about being locked out. He had full confidence in this point. He didn't point it out deliberately, which actually had a sense of testing. In the apocalypse, even if it was Chen Laoshi who looked beautiful and kind, he couldn't fully trust her.

But at the beginning, he still had to give some trust on the surface.

"I see." Chen Sixuan didn't expect Lin Xian to trust her so much, and felt a sense of being moved for no reason, which made her suddenly feel a sense of the man being outside and the woman being inside. Thinking that the other party was her student, she felt a sense of ambiguity growing in her heart.

Clank, clank.

"Infinite" drove at a very low speed on the city light rail of Jiang City. Lin Xian planned according to the map and prepared to move forward along Line 3, while also paying attention to the situation on the road at all times.

In the driver's cabin, Lin Xian began to devour the small appliances he brought from Chen Sixuan's house one by one. As he was about to embark on the journey, he had to maintain concentration at all times and seize every opportunity to improve his strength.

【Devour successful, Mechanical Source Point +1, Mechanical Devour skill proficiency +1】

"Still too slow..."

Looking at the pink bear blender in his hand turning into a pile of ashes, Lin Xian sighed in his heart. If he were given enough time, devouring cars or even trains, he might be able to gain dozens or hundreds of Mechanical Source Points at once.

And with the experience of the hairdryer before, he began to look forward to whether other special skills could be obtained from devouring.

This is simply too heaven-defying.

His Mechanical Heart system can not only operate machines and drive trains, but also directly manufacture machines, which is equivalent to creative mode. In this environment where the entire human industrial system has collapsed in the apocalypse, it is simply invincible.

The most critical thing is that this skill can also help him improve his values and obtain other skills.

Compared to those abilities, the plasticity seems much stronger.
