Chapter 1367 - 529: All Journeys Come to an End
It has been 72 hours since the great retreat from Colorado Canyon, and the journey north and south of the Joint Train seems far smoother than expected.Throughout the journey, besides the pervasive zombies constantly clawing at the windows from the mist, there have only been occasional Hunting Body attack incidents across train segments, causing some casualties. However, due to the fast movement of the train and the already tightly armored protection, the losses have not been significant.
Moreover, as the snow cover gets deeper, even the zombie tides have lessened considerably. Those bizarre creatures seem to be frozen in the snowdrifts by the ice and snow, yet, as the train passes through the snow layers, there will still occasionally be crimson zombies with strange appearances and tentacles all over rushing the train, eliciting screams from passengers inside the carriages.
Even so, the train remains a haven of safety, and this long-lost sense of security leaves many feeling slightly dazed.
Outside the armored carriages is a world of ice and snow, apocalyptic cold, strange zombies, Energy-devouring Insect Swarm, and Hunting Body occasionally appearing in the mist.
But within the full metal armored carriages, it is a safe harbor for the survivors.
Inside, the lights are bright, space is ample, there are beds for sleeping and resting, washrooms for using the toilet and showering, kitchens for cooking, and with adequate power supply, there are even various entertainment devices and train internet available for use.
The Dark Energy Synchronization Device resists the Power of Fear from crimson erosion, while heaters, air purification devices, and water purification equipment ensure a good living environment inside.
People use onboard defensive weapons to fend off incoming zombies, utilizing the collected Blood Essence to maintain the operation of the Dark Energy Synchronization Device.
Through resource exchanges, life in the apocalypse begins to revert to pre-war peace.
This super train with millions of people continually moves through the mist, with different stories happening in every train segment at all times.
There are people laughing and joking, yelling and cursing, making love, working, praying for the disaster to end soon, arguing about whether tomorrow will be bright.
There is a library, a breeding garden, temporary classrooms, superpower training classes, mecha repair departments, prosthetic modification workshops, and even bars, restaurants, bizarre goods trading carriages, and places for buying spring, all kinds, forming a complete miniature society.
During the period navigating Lake Nicaragua, Lin Xian is both anxious but simultaneously enjoying this momentary peace.
Deep down, he really likes this feeling; after all, when he first devised the Infinite Train plan in Jiang City, it was in hopes of creating a moving fortress on rails.
Regardless of the apocalyptic world outside, inside remains warm and safe.
He temporarily refrains from thinking about the Foundation’s affairs or overly worrying about whether the world would suddenly level up at some moment, or even about how to upgrade the Mechanical Heart... Anyway, there’s nothing much left to devour now.
Hence, he hands over the cockpit to Viola, the computational genius, while he himself gallivants to the rear carriages.
At times, playing video games with Kiki Shasha, at others, enjoying tea and chess with Brother Huo Da Lou, while also conveniently advising the kid Mo Xiaotian on using superpowers; unbeknownst to him, this kid can already accelerate with lightning speed, almost matching Qian Deli’s golden flash.
Jiang Yun, in charge of Sky Dome Train affairs, communicates with him once in a while, and Lin Xian, unexpectedly free, even invites Teacher Chen to watch two movies for relaxation. At night, he drinks and chats with Shi Deyuan Ning Jing and others, feeling extremely carefree.
Even Chen Sixuan asks if he wasn’t guarding against the ’Sky Cover’.
And Lin Xian responds that he’s done everything that can be done—Drone Swarm, reconnaissance team, aerial radar, and with Viola and Grace’s two Intelligent Brains, one in the sky, one underground, keeping watch for him—there doesn’t seem much he could do even if sitting in the cockpit.
Chen Sixuan is pleased Lin Xian can have such a mindset, and for a moment, the atmosphere inside the carriages lightens significantly due to Lin Xian’s influence.
At night, the lighting is dim, and Carriage 4, the planting compartment, resembles a green rain forest corridor, with various types of fruits and vegetables and green plants embellishing the entire space, full of vitality.
On the planting rack sits a bowl of cold pear soup, while from the resting room comes the sound of heated breathing.
Flushed Xiao Yuan finally undresses completely, hugging the one she desires tightly, meeting the thrusts repeatedly. She dares not cry out, not just because of shyness, but also because Carriage 4 is too spacious, residing separately on both ends of the carriage with Miao Lu in their respective resting rooms.
Lin Xian doesn’t refuse Xiao Yuan’s silent affection any longer, directly taking her back to the resting room, transforming into a ’machine’ warrior.
He believes that if the world is about to collapse, then it’s best not to leave any regrets. Xiao Yuan has followed him for so long, with many reckless moments he remembers; might as well give a response now.
He persuades himself this way, although the real reason is a kind of suppressed despair within him, choosing not to think about it, wanting only to indulge a bit, shifting more focus onto others.
Undeniably, this approach is indeed much more relaxed.
Beneath him, Xiao Yuan, resembling a cute and soft octopus, tightly clasps onto him. This girl seems only capable of approaching him this warmly when she’s onboard, responding to him.
Thus, Lin Xian kisses passionately, embraces warmly, venting out all the sweet warmth of the pear soup during many nights, feeling as if he’s submerged entirely in honey.
Xiao Yuan says nothing, never speaking about apocalypse, never discussing the future, just continuously repeating in his ears
