The utterly gruesome scene still made Chen Sixuan, the gentle college teacher, have a psychological breakdown. As she alighted from the vehicle, the stench of blood hit her face, and she immediately couldn't help but retch.
Lin Xian was just about to console her but saw her raise her hand and say,
"No... no need, I'm okay."
Chen Sixuan's complexion looked incredibly awful, yet Lin Xian saw that she was trying very hard to adapt to the scene before her. So, understanding this, he didn't say much.
"Be careful, there might still be survivors or other zombies."
"Okay." Chen Sixuan nodded, and the two of them began to scavenge the off-road vehicles parked at the station, soon discovering a large amount of water and various types of food reserved by the Oasis Caravan.
"There's so much food!"
Chen Sixuan deliberately avoided looking at the bodies on the ground, opened the car door, and began to gather supplies.
Lin Xian glanced over and saw that most of the materials here were well preserved. He frowned, suspecting that the attack the Oasis convoy encountered was not due to human actions; otherwise, the supplies would have been looted long ago.
His heart sank immediately when he saw the bug legs on the ground.
Lin Xian opened compartment 3's tail lift and called out to Chen Sixuan,
"There's no time to lose, just throw it in here for now; we can sort it out on the road later."
Then, the two of them split up to assist each other, searching for usable supplies within the devastated convoy.
However, what Lin Xian hadn't expected was, Chen Sixuan, who had been retching and frowning deeply at every other step, was soon completely overtaken by the joy of collecting supplies, bustling back and forth to the train energetically with supplies.
At one moment, she told Lin Xian that she had found a large box of instant noodles.
Then, she would shriek with joy upon discovering several boxes of canned food.
She even found a basket of bottles and jars from one of the vehicles, all filled with daily hygiene products for washing the face and hair, and she was overjoyed.
Lin Xian watched her running adeptly past the bodies, secretly amazed by the woman's ability to adapt far beyond his expectations.
"Look, Lin Xian, what is this?"
At that moment, Chen Sixuan found a black leather briefcase in a big raptor vehicle. Upon opening it, there was a purple plastic stick, cup-like items with holes, and some indescribable lace lingerie. There was even a USB drive kept preciously in a box.
On the box was written "Precious teacher materials."
"Teacher materials?" Chen Sixuan, thinking of herself as a teacher, was curious, assuming it was something important. She took out the purple plastic stick, looking puzzled. But as soon as she saw the strange clothes, she suddenly realized what they were.
She let out a soft shriek of "Ah" and immediately threw them away, sneaking a glance at Lin Xian with embarrassment, her face turning a big shade of red.
Lin Xian found it amusing, thinking that it's natural to have physical needs, but to carry so much of those "things" even while fleeing from the apocalypse, that person must be talented too.
The Oasis Caravan had just left Jiang City for two days before suffering a total wipeout, leaving the vast majority of supplies from the entire convoy to Lin Xian's benefit.
After carrying supplies for over half an hour, Lin Xian figured that even if the two of them ate three full meals a day, they would have enough for two months.
Thinking this way, it was definitely a bountiful harvest!
It had to be said, Liu Wei was also quite the character. There are those who block roads and those who stop cars, but this fellow was the first to dare to stop a train, so brazen just because he was a superpower user. His death wasn't in vain, as he had delivered a great gift to Lin Xian.
However, after searching for a while, Lin Xian only found three long guns, one short gun on the scene, and none of them were of good quality, not a single bullet left.
"Fighting so fiercely, what kind of monster was it..."
Lin Xian deeply furrowed his brow, taking the few guns from the bodies. If he couldn't manufacture bullets, these guns were mere decorations.
Might as well consume them...
Although he thought this way, Lin Xian felt that it was a bit of a waste to directly consume the hard-found guns.
No matter, take them first and decide later.
"We've got enough, let's hurry up and go."
Lin Xian raised the hydraulic tailgate, ready to set off. The priority now was to hit the road as soon as possible; they had already gathered almost everything useful.
Just then, his Mechanical Heart, which covered the entire train carriage, suddenly sensed movement inside...
He immediately furrowed his brows, turned to Chen Sixuan, and made a shushing gesture. Seeing Lin Xian's unusual expression, Chen Sixuan's face also changed, and her gaze shifted towards the direction of the train.
Someone on the train?!
Lin Xian's expression darkened as he then recalled the presence of a mysterious person on board, whose background was unknown.
"Lin Xian, it's that girl!" Chen Sixuan reacted at this moment.
Lin Xian stood still, slightly bemused and amused, as he realized that the girl, who had been unconscious for three days, was actually playing a game of deception with him.
The driver's cabin door of the Infinity opened, Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan entered one after the other, then closed the door behind them.
Just as Lin Xian started the train appropriately, he turned to the Chen Sixuan behind him and said,
"Teacher Chen, be careful, that girl has superpowers. I'll go confront her first."
Lin Xian didn't want to waste time traveling, and since he suspected the girl possessed superpowers, he didn't want Chen Sixuan to follow in order to ensure her safety.
Chen Sixuan was also full of surprise at this time, having been paying attention to the unconscious girl all along; she wondered why a girl could sleep for three days straight without waking up.
Time was of the essence, so Lin Xian had to drive the train and deal with the girl, which left her to take on the responsibility of watching the road conditions.
Lin Xian went to Carriage 1 and found, indeed, no one was on the sofa, and there were a few pieces of rope that had been broken on the ground.
So, he slowed down his pace and closed the gates of each carriage along the way, aiming to corner his quarry.
Just as he got to Carriage 2, a stick suddenly swung towards him head-on, accompanied by a crisp,
It was apparent the girl had used all her strength, aiming to successfully take him by surprise!
However, Lin Xian was faster than an ordinary person and was already on guard. As soon as that wrench appeared, he reached out and grabbed it, holding it in his hand.
Seeing the failed attack, the girl panicked, screaming, "Ah!" She quickly abandoned the stick and thudded towards the rear carriage, attempting to close the gate.
What she didn't realize was that Lin Xian controlled the entire train, and he could close that door whenever he wanted.
The gate the girl had just closed was immediately opened again, and Lin Xian moved forward with an icy expression, gripping Short Knife in his hand.
"I was wondering why you hadn't woken up for so long; weren't you hungry or in need to go to the toilet? Turns out you could untie the ropes yourself."
"Ah~" The girl was holding half a piece of leftover bread, startled by Lin Xian's imposing aura, she ran while crying out, "Don't come over here, don't come over!"
The girl receded until she inadvertently ended up in Carriage 3. Seeing no way out, her eyes swiveled, and she suddenly grabbed a cardboard box and hurled it at Lin Xian, then, seizing the moment he dodged, tried to slip past him and run in the opposite direction.
Lin Xian was very cautious; he knew the girl might possess a formidable superpower, so he was secretly prepared to use Wind Cannon and ready to deploy Ice Shield for defense.
But to his surprise, the girl just hurled a cardboard box at him, which left him somewhat astonished.
At that moment, when the girl had no escape and tried to slip by him, he simply grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, tripped her, and she fell to the ground, crying out in pain, "Ouch~" She pleaded repeatedly, "I was wrong, I was wrong, big brother, don't kill me."
Lin Xian frowned, having subdued her with ease, without the expected resistance, but he distinctly remembered how the girl had blasted "Uncle Li" away in the night, which puzzled him.
Suddenly, Lin Xian noticed a sliver of sly cunning in the girl's pleading eyes, which put him on alert.
So, he decided to play along and coldly said,
"You steal my food and try to attack me; is this how you treat your savior?"
Feeling that Lin Xian had no intention of killing her, the girl immediately feigned innocence, her face and ears turning red as she intensified her act,
"I was wrong, I was wrong, don't kill me!~"
The girl pinned beneath him started to flail wildly, her smooth legs exposed by her ultra-short shorts kicking at him with all her might.
