Chapter 31: The Female Motorcycle Rider

Lin Xian looked at the girl who was speaking with conviction with great interest and said with a faint smile, “Listening to you, it seems you have a better way?”

“Of course,” KIKI said with a confident expression. “Now that we’re all in the same boat, even if I don’t consider you, this bad guy, I have to think about my own safety, right? In the current situation, how can we get to Jinhai?”

“Tell me.”

KIKI looked at him. “Your ability is to control machinery, right?”

Lin Xian nodded. “That’s right.”

“Just right.” KIKI snapped her fingers and said confidently, “I know of a nearby military outpost near Beiwang City. We should be able to find a lot of military supplies there. If we’re lucky, you might be able to get a radar system or a sentry system. At the very least, if you can get some weapons, it’s better than you fighting insects with a knife last night, right?”

Hearing this, Chen Sixuan on the side was full of disbelief and said, “A military outpost? How do you know about such a thing?”

“I know a lot more.” KIKI said proudly, her eyes looking at Lin Xian. “Well, shall we cooperate?”

Lin Xian looked at her, smiled faintly, his eyes cold.

“I refuse.”

“Ah?!” KIKI’s expression suddenly froze. Just now, Lin Xian was full of interest. Why did he suddenly turn cold?

“You… what do you mean?”

Lin Xian’s cold gaze fell on her, and he said slowly, “I don’t like to be manipulated by others. If you think you can oppose me just because you’ve awakened your ability, we might as well settle life and death right now to avoid mutual suspicion along the way.”

Hearing this, KIKI said with some guilt, “Who… who wants to oppose you?”

Lin Xian said with a faint smile, “I can take you to Jinhai. Anyway, it’s just a city on the way on the Star Ring railway. But I don’t want to have any deals with you, or do it specifically for you. We’re living day by day now. If I take you on the road, it must be because I can trust you on the road, and you have brought value to this team. So no one here will serve you. The food is also limited. Everyone needs to work together. As for whether you will bring me any benefits when you go to Jinhai, I don’t care at all. Do you understand?”

Perhaps others would think that Lin Xian’s idea was very short-sighted, but in the apocalypse, the current situation was always more important than the future prospects. He had to consider his daily survival and find a way to escape the polar night. As for those future benefits and promises, he would not think too much about them.

Thinking too much was a burden. KIKI wanted to use this concept to negotiate with him to obtain a special status on the train and order him around. She had simply miscalculated.

For other survivors, giving such expectations could make them pay crazily, but Lin Xian was not such a person.

A person who was not sincere, no matter how capable she was, had no value to him.

The most crucial thing was that he had to make KIKI feel a sense of crisis. Otherwise, if he compromised with her, she would think that Lin Xian was afraid of her ability.

In that case, it would be better to make it clear whether they were friends or enemies.

KIKI looked at Lin Xian, who was smiling at her. For some reason, that smile did not give people a warm feeling. On the contrary, it seemed that as long as she turned around, the smile would turn into a terrifying evil ghost, opening its fangs and swallowing her in one bite.

Facing Lin Xian’s strong words, KIKI’s eyes began to flicker. The two of them looked at each other and seemed to be silent for a while. KIKI then looked away, hugged her legs on the sofa, and put her chin between her knees. She no longer had that smug look. Like a kitten, she looked at him with her big eyes and said, “Oh~.”

“Oh what?” Lin Xian’s eyes were burning.

“Then I’ll listen to you.” KIKI poked her two index fingers together. Although she was a little unconvinced, her tone became less sharp. “As long as you don’t let me go hungry…”

Lin Xian got up and took a can of fruit and a bag of snacks from the storage rack and threw them to her. He said in a cold voice, “I don’t care what your identity was before, but once you get on this car, it’s best not to have any other thoughts. Everyone only has one life. If you can’t make me feel at ease, I will throw you down even if you are useful.”

Hearing this, KIKI’s eyes rolled, and she secretly looked at him, not knowing what she was thinking. She opened the can and took a bite, was quiet for a while, and then broke the silence.

“My name is Wen Qi.”

“Is your name also fake?”

KIKI’s face turned red. “No, I’ve always been called KIKI. Wen Qi is my real name.”

Lin Xian nodded. Hearing the goodwill in her words, his tone also softened a little.

“I can take this as a way for you to show your sincerity to me.”

“Then can I have a request?” KIKI said.

“Speak.”

“Let me live in carriage 2.”

KIKI didn’t want to sleep in the same carriage with Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan all day. Although she had a carefree personality, she was still a young girl and was somewhat sensitive to matters between men and women.

“No problem.” Lin Xian nodded. “But carriage 2 is relatively empty. It needs some preparation to live in.”

“I’ll figure this out myself.”

“Hmm?!” Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed, his tone unfriendly.

KIKI quickly changed her words and said obediently, “I mean, it will be with your consent, and of course, I’ll need your help~”

“That’s more like it.” Lin Xian was much more satisfied with KIKI’s current attitude.

After a ‘friendly’ negotiation, Lin Xian temporarily accepted this girl with a somewhat complicated identity. And after last night’s battle, he also recognized KIKI’s value.

“Hey~”

Seeing that Lin Xian was about to leave, KIKI pouted and called out to him, “Bad guy, do you still want to go to that military outpost?”

Lin Xian frowned. “There’s no trap, right?”

KIKI rolled her eyes at him, her tone surprisingly gentle. “If you don’t believe me, I can go with you.”

Lin Xian’s expression sank slightly. He could hear that KIKI’s words were quite sincere at this time. At the same time, he also re-evaluated his “Infinity Train” project and felt that there were still many shortcomings.

With his ability, he could only say that he had no pressure in terms of energy for the time being. But since the journey began, the troubles he encountered were more fatal than the energy problem one by one.

So when KIKI told him that there was a military outpost in Beiwang City, Lin Xian was interested from the bottom of his heart.

He now urgently needed to upgrade the armor and supplement the weapons of the “Infinity.” And such a large mobile fortress also needed a more sensitive reconnaissance system. Including himself, he also urgently needed to quickly upgrade the level of his Mechanical Heart or obtain more useful skills.

Lin Xian had once imagined that an ordinary hairdryer could give him a powerful “Air Cannon” skill. If it was a military weapon, maybe there would be more surprises after devouring it!

So no matter what he considered, he decided that he could no longer rush into the dark night recklessly. He had to have enough means of self-protection.

Thinking of this, Lin Xian nodded. “I do want to upgrade the armor and weapons of the train. We can go and see the military outpost you mentioned. We can also replenish some supplies in Beiwang Town.”

“Okay, okay, okay!” KIKI’s eyes lit up, and she pointed to the direction of carriage 3. “Then shall we ride that?”

Lin Xian frowned and looked at her. “Can you ride?”

“Tch, who are you looking down on?” KIKI turned sideways, revealing a small tattoo on the side of her slender waist. It was a black cat head wearing sunglasses. With a pair of smooth, long legs under her shorts, it gave people a punk girl look.

“Do you know my old name?”

“Spiritual little sister?”

“Pah! It’s Huiyue Black Rider!”

“Black motorcycle?”

“Pah! You bumpkin!”
