Chapter 47: Endless Life

“No wonder that Tang Hai was able to be so arrogant in the fog and darkness for so long. It turns out those monsters wouldn’t harm him at all…”

Lin Xian’s heart became clear. His doubts at that time were not without reason. It seemed that because Tang Hai was injured at that time and gave off the smell of blood, it caused him to be bitten by zombies. But this just happened to let him complete his evolution.

Thinking of this, he regretted it a little. He should have blown that old bastard’s head off in advance. Now, he had left a hidden danger behind.

However, at this time, he was also glad that his choice to repair the close-in weapon system to save his life was extremely correct.

At that time, KIKI was already asleep. He himself definitely couldn’t deal with the fog spider and Feng Yuming at the same time, let alone the overwhelming zombie tide. Fortunately, Tang Hai and Feng Yuming couldn’t figure out that complicated close-in weapon system, nor did they dismantle any key equipment. Otherwise, it would have been a dead end for Lin Xian and KIKI tonight.

Returning to the main topic, Lin Xian looked at KIKI. “So you also know how your own ability is upgraded?”

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, KIKI just smiled faintly and shook her head. “I probably know that I might belong to the spiritual or psionic type. These are relatively rare in the data, but I don’t know how to upgrade, or how to complete that ‘ritual’.”

“As for you…” KIKI looked at Lin Xian at this time and said with a strange look, “To be honest, I don’t know which type you belong to. You can drive machinery, so it should be a functional ability. Although the Spirit Value evaluation of this type of ability is not necessarily high, it is called a ‘great strategic value’ ability by the ‘Angel Project’. I think yours is more like the No. 27 inorganic matter control type, but how can you use elemental abilities?”

Speaking of this, KIKI looked at Lin Xian and frowned deeper and deeper. “Do you have more than one ability?”

“Guess…”

Lin Xian said with a blank expression. At this time, his heart tightened slightly, and he had a strong premonition that perhaps his… was not an ability at all.

What kind of ability would have a progress bar?

“There’s one more thing,” KIKI said. “It is said that a very small number of ability users have experienced a complete loss of their abilities, and this even includes some Diamond-level people.”

“Complete loss, what do you mean?”

“How would I know… the data didn’t say.” KIKI pouted. “I only know that it was all without any external interference. The ability user suddenly lost their ability. The research bureau’s assessment believes that it may be related to their own mentality, mental state, etc., but they can’t find the real reason.”

KIKI’s information gave Lin Xian a nearly subversive understanding of the current world. But under the collapse of the apocalyptic order, although it had only been a few months, ability users had already become a huge group, and this group was personally affecting the survival direction of mankind.

After a whole night of tossing and turning, everyone was a little tired. To be cautious, Lin Xian let the train run at a low speed of about 50KM, with Chen Sixuan on duty in the cockpit. He also stayed in the cockpit to rest.

“KIKI seems to have a lot of secrets,” Chen Sixuan said, looking at the napping Lin Xian.

“Everyone has secrets. As long as it’s helpful to us, we don’t need to go into so much detail.”

“She… what did she just say to you?” Chen Sixuan’s eyes flickered. She knew that it was not good for her to ask Lin Xian this question, but she couldn’t help but be curious.

Lin Xian closed his eyes and sneered. “What else could it be? She made me promise her that I wouldn’t have an intimate relationship with her without her consent.”

When Chen Sixuan heard this, she hummed with a complicated expression.

Speaking of which, she didn’t know if her relationship with Lin Xian was willing or not. She only knew that she was very glad to be saved by Lin Xian. At this time, Lin Xian was already her only reliance.

And he was very good, and seemed to be the type of personality she liked, so she didn’t seem to resist the occurrence of that matter so much.

Could this be the legendary suspension bridge effect?

Oh my, where am I thinking…

“Yesterday, the sky brightened at 16:26. We drove about 50 kilometers towards Beiwang Station. If we calculate, to catch up with the 16:00 nod tomorrow, we have to travel at least 370 kilometers.”

Chen Sixuan held the driving log and kept calculating. “But the JY3365 section will bypass Quguan and Yuchi. Calculating the position of the No. 3 Star Abyss, Lucheng, and Dingzhou against our straight line direction from Jiang City…”

“Professor Chen.”

Lin Xian interrupted her calculation and said with his eyes slightly closed, “Do you think it’s possible that the No. 3 Star Abyss is not the source of the Dark Tide?”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Sixuan was silent for a moment.

“I… don’t know.”

From a geometric point of view, if every Star Abyss was undergoing a Dark Tide, it was equivalent to these Star Abysses expanding at the same speed on the Blue Star, which meant that their radii grew linearly with time.

“If the range of influence of the Star Abyss is fixed, then maybe there is still some corner space for human survival. But if the first polar night is not the end, and the range of the second tide continues to expand, then it is only a matter of time before the polar night covers the entire Blue Star.”

After the polar night, the network and communications were paralyzed. As ordinary people, they could not spy on what was happening in the whole world, and could only collect clues through the information on the radio.

If it weren’t for KIKI, they wouldn’t even know that the federal government had already classified ability users and even formulated a set of standards.

Lin Xian nodded, his expression a little uneasy. If that was the case, it meant that everyone had nowhere to escape, and humans could only grope for how to survive in the dark.

Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian’s worried face and suddenly said, “Student Lin, do you still remember the motto of Jiang University?”

Lin Xian looked at her, and the two said in unison, “The struggle has been going on every day since the beginning of mankind!”

After a long time, the two looked at each other and smiled.

When the wheels had already started to move, everyone was fleeing the darkness and running towards the dawn. Even if they were eventually trapped in darkness forever, as long as the last spark of survival remained, they would not give up the struggle.

Lin Xian’s heart was slightly settled. If his own ability became stronger, he could survive even in the long and difficult night. This made him even more determined to build an ultimate fortress!

Omm~

The fog in front gradually thinned, and the view under the car lights became wider and wider. Lin Xian stood up and looked at the outline of the mountains in the distance. His face relaxed, and he slowly stopped the train in a tunnel.

“Why did you stop?” Chen Sixuan looked at Lin Xian in confusion.

As a result, as soon as she turned her head, she was picked up by Lin Xian in a princess hug. The young man had a slight smile and said loudly, “Professor Chen, there is one more thing that has been ‘endless’ since the beginning of mankind.”

“…”

Chen Sixuan was caught off guard by his hug, and her face turned red. She hurriedly avoided Lin Xian’s gaze. Her originally crystal clear and white earlobes and neck were now as beautiful as peach blossoms in March.

“Aren’t you very tired…”

Lin Xian carried her to the bed in carriage 1 and said with high spirits, “I’m suddenly refreshed.”

The gates of each carriage had been closed. At this time, carriage 1 was already Lin Xian’s exclusive living area.

Chen Sixuan’s face was flushed, and she said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, “Oh, that…”

“Is it inconvenient?”

“No… it’s not.”

Chen Sixuan’s skin was as smooth as mutton-fat jade. But when Lin Xian’s lips touched it, although he was in the apocalypse, he could still smell the alluring scent of a woman, faint and heart-stirring.

At this time, Chen Sixuan only felt a numbness in her back. Lin Xian’s breath hit her skin, giving her a cool feeling, with a breath that drilled into her pores, giving her a sense of shame that she couldn’t stop.

She covered her face with the quilt and said softly, “…you take… take my bag, there’s that in it.”

“Okay.”

“Mmm… be gentle, mmm…”

The heavy train was quietly parked under the dark night. Outside the thick armored iron skin was a deep and terrifying dark tunnel, and inside was a warm yellow goose-down soft couch, full of a sense of security.

The two were entangled together, shattering the taboo between the souls of men and women. One body was tall and slender, and the other was graceful and delicate. The figures that were kneaded together rose and fell, like a running chariot, and like a giant wheel breaking through the waves…

The night was as black as ink. At this time, in carriage 2, Lou Shasha on the upper bunk was already sound asleep, while KIKI on the lower bunk, who was covering her head with a pillow, had a flushed face. Feeling the strange rhythm of “pa pa pa” next door, she gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but curse in a low voice, constantly drawing circles in her heart and cursing a certain bad person.

She thought to herself that she would install the soundproof panels in carriage 2 in advance tomorrow, and also weld another layer of steel plates
