Chapter 26: Mutual Probing

“After the plane crashed, I don’t know how I survived. So I kept running towards your house. I also know that I have an ability, but I don’t know how to use it at all. But after I woke up that day, I found… I found…”

“Mm!” Lin Xian glared at her fiercely, scaring KIKI so much that she trembled all over and said tearfully, “After I heard that you saved that older sister Chen, you said you wanted to sleep with her, and then you said something about the Infinity Train project, which sounded particularly bad. So I thought you were… that kind of scum who deliberately deceives women in the apocalypse, so…”

Lin Xian looked at her faintly.

“So you were worried that you had run into a wolf’s den instead of finding someone to save you, so you deliberately pretended to be unconscious and then took the opportunity to sneak attack me?”

KIKI nodded, then shook her head again. With the cold blade in front of her, she dodged her gaze and said, “I… I didn’t want to sneak attack you. I had no choice. But think about it, I had just been in trouble, and when I woke up from a coma, I saw you plotting something bad. Of course I was scared…”

In the apocalypse, it was essential to be on guard against others. This was true for Lin Xian, and it was also true for KIKI. After she woke up, she originally wanted to communicate with Lin Xian, but who knew that she happened to run into Lin Xian doing something bad to her.

So she regarded Lin Xian as a complete pervert. In a panic, she simply continued to pretend to be unconscious and then looked for an opportunity to make other plans…

But who knew that after she took advantage of Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan getting off the car, she was caught by Lin Xian, who had the Mechanical Heart ability, before she could even finish half a piece of bread.

“That’s just right.”

Lin Xian suddenly said, “Since you don’t know how to use your ability, isn’t it even more useless for me to keep you?!”

The logical loop was complete.

As he spoke, he slowly placed the short knife on KIKI’s neck, scaring KIKI so much that her face changed, and she closed her eyes and said, “Don’t, don’t, don’t be impulsive. Let’s talk things over.”

KIKI slowly opened one eye and looked at Lin Xian’s fierce expression. She immediately closed her eyes again and said quickly, “Don’t kill me. If you keep me, you can have an extra guarantee if you encounter danger by using my ability. Anyway, my life is in your hands, isn’t it?”

Hearing this, Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed. Seeing that the girl was telling the truth, his heart relaxed. It was a matter of life and death. If the other party really knew how to use that powerful ability, how could she let him threaten her like this?

After figuring this out, Lin Xian took a deep breath.

“That makes sense.”

Screech~

The wheels rolled, and the “Infinity” slowly started again.

Seeing Lin Xian put down his knife, KIKI’s heart finally settled. She looked at Lin Xian. “So, can we make peace?”

Make peace?

Why did it sound like children playing house? Lin Xian smiled inwardly. This girl was really hard to figure out.

Lin Xian looked at her meaningfully.

“I need to consider it.”

“Okay, okay, okay!” KIKI’s face changed, and she suddenly let out a sigh of relief. “If you keep me, I can really help you!”

“But…”

Before KIKI could be happy, Lin Xian suddenly reached out and picked her up again. With a strange smile on his face, he dragged her to carriage 1.

KIKI was caught off guard and said in shock, “Hey… what are you doing?”

“Guess!” Lin Xian said with a deep meaning.

KIKI panicked. “Hey, hey, hey, I said we’d make peace. I was really wrong. I didn’t want to hurt you. You can’t bully me…”

“I don’t think so.”

“Wait, I’m really not an adult…”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Don’t, don’t, I’m actually a boy. You see, I don’t have any breasts. It’s not interesting for you. And you have that older sister, so don’t bully me.”

“I’m not picky.”

“By the way, you forgot I have an ability? What if I accidentally release it and hurt you!”

“If that’s the case, you should thank me for helping you activate your ability.”

In carriage 1, Lin Xian added two more ropes to KIKI’s hands and feet, tied her up tightly, and threw her on the sofa. He said loudly, “You just reminded me. Since you’ll burst out with your ability when you’re in danger, I can just use you as a shield at critical moments. And you have a record of untying yourself and sneak attacking. To be on the safe side, I’ll have to tie a few more layers to prevent you from doing anything bad.”

“You’re despicable, you’re a bastard!” KIKI struggled.

Lin Xian held up a roll of smelly socks. “If you keep chattering like this, don’t blame me for stuffing this in your mouth.”

KIKI was so angry at this time that her face turned red and white. Although Lin Xian didn’t really mean to ‘bully’ her, which made her temporarily relieved, this hateful guy actually tied her up for the purpose of using her as a shield??

It was too despicable, too hateful!

But at this time, she was under his roof and couldn’t fight him. Seeing him hold up a pair of smelly socks, she could only shut up and then glare at him with her eyes spitting fire, her mind plotting when to teach him a good lesson.

“If you glare at me again, you can sleep with the zombies tonight,” Lin Xian said coldly when he saw her unconvinced look.

Hearing Lin Xian mention zombies, KIKI reflexively shrank her neck. Due to his tyranny, she fell silent at this time. After a while, she finally said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, “Why are you so fierce? What if I want to go to the bathroom…”

Lin Xian suddenly smiled. “You should ask yourself that. You haven’t told me how you managed to survive for three days without eating or going to the bathroom.”

“You weren’t here the night before last. I waited for that older sister to fall asleep, then I got up to eat and went to the bathroom.”

“What about last night?”

KIKI looked at him angrily, her eyes flickering. “You were too tired last night. I waited for both of you to fall asleep, then I got up…”

Lin Xian frowned. “So if I hadn’t found out, you were planning to sleep like this forever?”

“Not really.” KIKI said shyly. “I was going to confess to you today, but I was hungry again, and you were both not here…”

Lin Xian: …

At 18:45, the sun set, and the sky was shrouded in night.

The “Infinity” slowly stopped on a mountain stream railway bridge. After leaving Yushan Station, except for a short stop in the middle, Lin Xian drove the train at full speed for nearly two hours. At this time, the entire train was rolling with heat, but it was quickly cooled down by the gradually intensifying wind and snow.

The temperature dropped to minus 3 degrees. The wind and snow came suddenly, and the glass of the carriage began to fog up.

Chen Sixuan pulled down all the sunshades in the carriage and closed the door of the cockpit. Outside the train was a dark valley. Looking up, she could only see the outline of a mountain range.

In carriage 1, Chen Sixuan looked at the tightly bound KIKI with a strange expression.

“She’s been pretending to be asleep all this time?”

“That’s right.” Lin Xian glanced at Chen Sixuan. “We were both careless. We had a live broadcast last night.”

“I didn’t!”

KIKI retorted with a red face, “I… I kept my eyes closed the whole time. I didn’t see anything.”

…

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan’s face turned red. If it were just her and Lin Xian, no matter how shameful it was, she would just think of it as huddling together for warmth in the apocalypse. But at this time, there was a third party here, and she was even seen by others. Even if her three views were shattered, she still felt very embarrassed at this time.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and looked at KIKI with slight anger. “Why did you pretend to be asleep? If we hadn’t taken care of you these two days, you would have died long ago.”

“I was…”

KIKI looked at Lin Xian with a strange expression. “I just misunderstood this bad guy.”
