It’s all fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s expression hardened—he firmly shoved the silver antenna back into the radio. Sure enough, the moment the antenna touched the device, a red ghostly shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air at the far end of the corridor, standing there unnaturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-clad female ghost stood motionless, her pale face beneath the shadows twisted into a strange smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you staring at?! Tell me how to get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of nowhere, anger surged—Lin Xian’s desperation drowned out his fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly shouted, causing the red-clad ghost to freeze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost’s eyes flared with rage—in an instant, she teleported before Lin Xian, raising her bloodied claws to tear at his throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s gaze turned icy—he moved swiftly, blade descending—the ghost’s head flew off, thudding three times as it hit the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still trying to scare me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air fell silent. The ghost’s head rolled slowly into the corner, its gaze venomous as it fixed on Lin Xian, while its headless body still stood, bloodied claws raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian knew these were illusions—he ignored them entirely, reinserted the antenna, and turned the dial. The frequency number had indeed changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His guess had been right—the true core of this eerie radio station was this silver antenna, capable of swallowing people into a specific frequency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if he wanted to escape, he likely needed someone outside to tune to the same frequency as him—but not 1542.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Lin Xian felt a sudden clarity in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But how do I get Chen Laoshi to tune to the same frequency as me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gurgling~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost’s head rolled quietly to Lin Xian’s feet. He looked down and saw the ghost staring at him with a chilling gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, are you annoying…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian kicked it away, feeling irritated. He glanced at the headless corpse beside him—though he knew it was fake, its eerie presence still sent a chill down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s mind sparked—he suddenly grabbed the ghost’s dress and ripped it—tear!—shredding it apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the torn dress, a slender female form was revealed, clad in a red bikini.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So ghosts wear bikinis too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from being painfully thin…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghost’s head rolled to the side; its chilling gaze suddenly turned panicked. As the clothing was torn, the sense of horror vanished entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it became absurd—and the chilling coldness disappeared. Lin Xian exhaled deeply, pointing at the ghost’s head and threatening:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop bothering me, or I’ll strip you completely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the “Infinity,” the sound of car engines grew louder, approaching from afar—the mountains and forests seemed to hold a large convoy heading toward the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Chen, there are more of them coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the radio, Shasha growled: “Looks like they’ve targeted us today!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan frowned: “No choice—keep watching. Lin Xian seems to be reacting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, the priority was helping Lin Xian escape his predicament. She had just heard his movements—her full attention was locked on Carriage 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap-tap-tap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she spoken than the rear carriage erupted in gunfire—dozens of vehicles had arrived, preparing to surround the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha and Dali opened fire in return, while numerous zombies charged across the snowfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, gales howled—the blizzard arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thudding sound suddenly echoed on the roof—someone had climbed aboard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Chen, front!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shasha suddenly realized something and shouted into the radio toward Chen Sixuan in Carriage 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan reacted instantly, sprinting toward the cockpit—she intended to seal the cockpit access door first, preventing outsiders from seeing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If those outside learned there were only three people on board, things could spiral out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud-thud-thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound raced from the rear to the front, each carriage’s occupants peering through gaps with flashlights, then surging into the front. Before Chen Sixuan could reach the cockpit, a grinning face suddenly hung upside-down from the windshield, shining a powerful spotlight inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s body bore scorpion-like insect limbs. Chen Sixuan’s face paled—An Adept!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s flashlight caught Chen Sixuan—he lit up with excitement and shrieked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Only three people total—and two girls!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shuowan , he leapt off the train with agility and sprinted toward the distant convoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn.” Chen Sixuan cursed inwardly, grabbing the radio: “Shasha, an Adept saw us—he’s running back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Carriage 5, Shasha’s face darkened. She turned, raising her gun and shouting to Dali: “Brother, kill that guy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New author seeking follows and monthly votes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After launch on December 1st, I’ll post massive updates—don’t save this novel; always check the latest chapter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9322a1efff8491c68f8c2981a4e444f782f78b9e97323128a821559befdff4ff","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-85","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-83",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
