Chapter 83: Frequency Band

Chen Chen Sixuan's gaze sharpened. How many times had the team encountered danger, and she could only hide in the safest place in the train? Although Lin Lin Xian felt she had helped, Chen Chen Sixuan had followed through so many fierce battles that her character had become tougher. She felt she should also master some means of self-defense. Now that Lin Lin Xian wasn't there, this need had become even stronger.

Lou Shasha looked at Chen Chen Sixuan in surprise and stuck out her tongue. "Okay, but I'm not very good at using it either. I only know how to fire, but I don't know how to aim this kind of sniper rifle accurately."

"It's okay." Chen Chen Sixuan walked over and took down the sniper rifle. The moment she held it, she felt it sink heavily. She gritted her teeth and raised it, exhaling lightly. "It really is heavy... but this weapon, if we encounter the kind of monster from before, this gun might come in handy."

"It definitely can!"

Lou Shasha nodded. "This thing has great power and a very long range. I've seen it on TV before; one shot can punch through a car, *pew-pew~*"

"Chen Jiejie, this is the trigger, the safety is here."

"Hmm, okay."

"This is the bipod. This kind of big guy usually needs a bipod unless you are very strong; otherwise, you can't achieve prone unsupported shooting..."

"What is unsupported?"

"It means holding it up empty-handed. This is very heavy; you shouldn't be able to do it. Also, this is the M3 optical 10x super scope; you can see very far. Chen Jiejie, you set the gun up first and try it out. By the way, the recoil of this kind of gun is usually quite large; you need to pay attention to your posture."

"Okay!"

As if her sleepiness had vanished, Chen Chen Sixuan, with Lou Shasha's help, began to earnestly learn to recognize gun accessories and aiming principles.

*Thump-thump~*

Suddenly, a sound came, and the two stopped their actions immediately.

"Chen Jiejie!"

Lou Shasha said softly:

"This sound, it seems to be outside."

Chen Chen Sixuan frowned upon hearing this, immediately made a gesture to be quiet, and then walked lightly to the train window and lifted a sunshade.

A flashlight's beam suddenly flashed on the side of the train.

Chen Chen Sixuan immediately covered her mouth in surprise.

There were people outside!

*Hoo-hoo~*

In the night, the snowstorm intensified, and the entire train had its lights off.

Chen Chen Sixuan and Lou Shasha stood in Carriage No. 1, nervously probing outside.

"It doesn't seem to be just one person," Lou Shasha said softly. "Chen Jiejie, our train might be targeted."

Chen Sixuan looked uneasy. "This road is a major traffic route to Mount Daluo and Yubei City, not far from the road line. Maybe someone saw a train parked here, so they came to investigate."

"What should we do then? Should we respond?" Lou Shasha asked.

"Have you encountered this situation before?"

"Before... when my brother and I were driving, we would encounter other teams. But most of them just went their own way. Sometimes there would be friendly ones who would communicate during the day or huddle together at night, but for this one we have now, others might be more curious..."

Chen Chen Sixuan shook her head. "Let's see the situation first. It's already night, and it's very dangerous outside. If it's just other survivor teams coming to investigate, they'll leave after a look. But if they are people with ill intentions, we must be careful."

Lou Shasha nodded.

"Hmm, Lin Lin Xian has already upgraded the armor; we should still be very safe."

Chen Chen Sixuan nodded, but suddenly thought of something. She pulled Lou Shasha over and whispered in her ear:

"Go remind your brother to be alert at the back; we still have two cars on the trailer."

"Oh, right."

Lou Shasha's eyes widened. Those two cars were sitting on the open trailer; if someone quietly drove them away, it would be a significant loss.

Understanding this, she immediately crouched and ran toward the back.

Chen Chen Sixuan walked to the driver's cabin and looked out through the porthole. The night was like ink, and a rustling sound came from the tracks. There seemed to be several footsteps outside the train. As the footsteps approached, Chen Chen Sixuan immediately retreated and hid in the shadows of the corridor.

*Bang-bang~*

At this moment, someone began to climb onto the train head, and then a beam of flashlight light shone in, probing inside.

"Huh, seems like no one?" a man said softly.

"Could they be sleeping in other carriages?" another said. "Be careful, this train is all armored; it's definitely not an ordinary train."

"You stay here and watch, I'll go contact someone."

"Okay..."

In the shadows, Chen Chen Sixuan tightly covered her mouth. Taking advantage of the fact that the flashlight hadn't shone over, she quietly walked to Carriage No. 1, picked up the walkie-talkie, and hid in the corner.

"Lou Shasha, there are quite a few of them, be careful."

"Okay, if they want to do something, we'll fire a warning shot."

"Yes, deter them first to show we have weapons on the train. A general survivor team might be scared away."

"Chen Jiejie, those people are watching us without moving; they might be planning something. If a fight really breaks out, do you think we should drive away?"

Through the walkie-talkie, Lou Shasha's tone was worried.

Chen Chen Sixuan's expression was ugly; she naturally saw their current predicament.

!

The train was dark, with snow on the roof—this situation might convey a bad signal to others.

"Definitely not, Lin Lin Xian hasn't returned yet..."

Her gaze now looked toward the back, where that radio was still sitting quietly on the sofa.

Her subconscious told her that Lin Lin Xian was still on the train. If she drove the train away now, she didn't know if it would cause any trouble for Lin Lin Xian.

"That's true, Lin Lin Xian... eh, Chen Jiejie, listen."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two women suddenly heard a very slight movement in Carriage No. 3 to No. 2.

This time, the sound was inside the carriage.

For some reason, hearing this movement, Chen Chen Sixuan felt both panicked and somewhat happy. She and Lou Shasha both felt this sound should be Lin Lin Xian, which also meant Lin Lin Xian was still alive!

*Bang-bang-bang! *

But at this moment, Carriage No. 5 suddenly heard gunfire.

Gao Ta was using a machine gun to sweep outside through a firing port beside the tail plate because he discovered that several sneaky people had somehow circled around to the back of the train, climbed onto their flatbed trailer, and then began to untie the steel chains binding the cars.

The sound of machine-gun fire instantly echoed in the valley. A string of metal streams hit the side of the flatbed car and the snow, kicking up sparks and snow dust.

Those few people who were sneaking around were immediately scared into fleeing with their heads in their hands. One unlucky guy was shot directly through the shoulder, blood splashing everywhere, and he screamed in pain!

The sound of gunfire instantly deterred the petty thieves in the night, and that group soon vanished into the darkness.

*Urgh! *

The massive sound of gunfire attracted quite a few zombies, which let out howls and ran rapidly toward this side.

"They climbed onto the train!"

Lou Shasha picked up her grenade launcher and said to Chen Chen Sixuan through the walkie-talkie, "Chen Jiejie, you need to be careful."

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Hearing Lou Shasha's words, Chen Chen Sixuan frowned, but at this moment, her attention could only be placed inside the carriage, observing the clues Lin Lin Xian might be giving.

She didn't turn on the lights and began to carefully observe the movement inside the carriage.

But suddenly, all the lights on the train turned on. Chen Chen Sixuan was startled. She looked at the lights overhead, feeling somewhat suspicious.

With a certain guess, she walked to the light control panel.

*Click*

She turned off the lights again.
