He reached the iron door and found it locked by an electronic circuit mechanism; he placed his hand on it, activated his Mechanical Heart, and instantly found the pathway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he couldn’t open the electric gate no matter what he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian looked at his hand—had his ability failed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And wasn’t he just on the train?

Eight years ago, she left you at Yulan Orphanage and vanished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly are you trying to ask…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman continued: “How much do you know about her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman paused briefly, then said: “From Zhao Lu’s records, we found a man who might be your father. Do you want to meet him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s gaze was blank; she didn’t lift her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh…” The woman hesitated, then continued: “Your father’s surname is Wen. He’s the CEO of Linglong Group—the richest man in this city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I’m rich now, right?” Kiki kept her head lowered, speaking, but there was no trace of joy in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I've read your file. You ran away from the orphanage at eight, survived by swindling people in the old district, taught yourself programming just to steal money from ATMs, and spent six years in jail nineteen times—you're truly a criminal. I never thought someone like you would have such luck, suddenly getting a father like this; you must be thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki’s gaze was defiant; she said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, a week ago, we found your mother Zhao Lu’s body near the Lucheng wastewater plant. Based on decomposition, she’s been dead for at least twenty days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Kiki’s fingers trembled imperceptibly; she still said nothing, her eyes hollow, expression neither sad nor happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene shifted: beside a wastewater plant, a mob was beating a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They punched and kicked her; her face was swollen and bruised, blood foaming from her mouth, her pitiful screams chilling to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You bitch! Tell us where your daughter is!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in a black suit kicked her hard in the abdomen: “You think staying silent means we won’t find her?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know… I really don’t know…” the woman begged pitifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even fiercer blows came again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the woman stopped resisting; her face was soaked in blood…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you help me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a light, hollow voice sounded behind him; Lin Xian spun around and saw the thin figure standing again in the corner not far away, her pretty, lively face hidden in shadow, her gaze pleading for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression hardened—he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know who I am?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re here to help me.” Kiki replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Help you with what?” Lin Xian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki extended her finger, pointing toward the mob by the shore: “Help me kill them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian frowned: “Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Kiki.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl lifted her head, her gaze fixed through the shadows directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s face darkened; he flipped his hand, activated his Mechanical Heart, and instantly forged a fully loaded Glock 23 pistol—after dismantling enough materials and broken firearms, he could now produce this basic model; the only problem was the limited ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frail girl stared at the gun in Lin Xian’s hand, her expression filled with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at him and slowly said: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kiki appeared beside the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? There’s a little girl over there?” A man with a vicious face glanced over and saw Kiki standing alone in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mob stopped beating and all turned to stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki raised her right hand, forming a pistol with her thumb and index finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s she doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is she crazy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s gaze was deep as still water, expression neither sorrowful nor joyful; she softly whispered: “Bang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, smoke erupted—a spray of blood burst from the man’s occiput; he collapsed dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, she’s got a gun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s face was blank, her eyes filled with intense hatred, her lips repeating: “Bang, bang~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill them… kill them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sinister whisper echoed beside the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullets tore mercilessly through bodies, unleashing agonized screams!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, several men were riddled with bullet holes, their faces shredded, flesh flying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New author seeking follows and monthly votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the novel goes live on December 1st, I’ll post massive updates—don’t save this novel; always check the latest chapter when a new one drops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1189,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d789c2e39227058ed60482a5549cbefe2d261dd788d071be2fde072ea86192da","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-80","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-78",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
