Chapter 5: Former Colleagues

"That's what it feels like!"

Lin Xian cried out in his heart, feeling the roaring power coming from the train. The shadow of last night was quickly swept away. At this moment, he seemed to be integrated with the entire train, with a sense of exhilaration and unstoppable force!
Ding ding ding, ding ding ding…

On the open-air railway outside the University Town Station, several zombies in tattered uniforms were wandering around. At this moment, these monsters seemed to have simultaneously noticed the strange noise coming from the tunnel, and the tracks under their feet began to vibrate.

"Uh~ah"

"Gugu cough~"

The sound seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from a rotten trachea like rotten wood. The zombies seemed to be pulled by invisible ropes, slowly turning their heads and staring at the dark entrance of the tunnel with their turbid and deathly eyes.

Woo!
The whistle blew, like a roar from the abyss, and the scarlet mechanical beast roared out of the tunnel like a god of war awakened from ancient slumber, with endless rage and power that had been buried for years!

"Uh! Ah!"

They howled and rushed forward like a group of crazy beasts. However, their rotten minds could not understand that the one making the deafening sound was not the prey they desired, but a steel monster with a terrifying power of 18500 horsepower!
Click, click~
The Infinity accelerated and crushed past like a whirlwind, instantly creating a rain of blood and flesh, with countless limbs flying everywhere. Lin Xian in the cab's eyes trembled, and the haze that had been suppressed for more than ten days was finally released completely at this moment!

"Awesome!" Lin Xian shouted wildly.

At this moment, there is an unparalleled pleasure of breaking through the darkness and entering the dawn!

It means that his plan has successfully taken the first step.

Bang, bang, bang!
With excitement in his heart, the heavy locomotive rushed along the track. Lin Xian looked at the city that had been reduced to ruins, constantly searching for useful information.

The zombies wandering on the streets pose relatively little threat to ordinary people unless they cause a large-scale zombie tide.

Of course, if it is some animal-type zombies, such as dogs and wolves, they are often much more troublesome than ordinary human-shaped zombies.

Dudu~
Chen Sixuan’s phone is no longer accessible.

The call was not connected, so Lin Xian put away his phone and prepared to go to the door to pick up the person.

He is not a person who hesitates. Now that he has made a plan, he will not hesitate too much. Unless Chen Sixuan is dead, he will not change the plan at will.

The subway tracks were much smoother than he had expected, perhaps because the tracks were generally closed and no one was stupid enough to drive a car onto the railway, so there were no obstacles along the way.

The nearest subway station to the Imperial Water Garden is called Tiyu West, which used to be a crowded subway hub. As the train entered the underground tunnel, Lin Xian slowed down the speed.

Because he would have to get off the car to look for someone later, and if he made too much noise and attracted the attention of too many zombies, it would be inconvenient for him to move.

Chi~
Lin Xian did not drive into the platform, but stopped a little further away.

At this time, he first came to carriage No. 2 and found that the girl was still sleeping, and was immediately surprised.

Who can sleep so long?
"Hey!"

Lin Xian patted her little face, but there was no response.

So he simply reached out and pinched her. The girl's face was tender and elastic. Although it was stained with blood, it still couldn't hide her delicate features. She was definitely a beauty.

I don’t know which wealthy family this girl belongs to.

Forget it, let her sleep.

Lin Xian thought about it and, just to be on the safe side, closed all the gates of carriages No. 3 and No. 1.

Then he picked up the dagger, carefully observed the surrounding situation, got off the train and ran along the path beside the track into the platform.

……

No. 3, Block 901, Royal Water Garden.

Chen Sixuan did not sleep all night. The intense mental pressure made her look extremely haggard, and her pretty face was pale.

At this moment, she curled up in the corner of the sofa, with her head buried tightly under her knees.

There were books on various planetary orbits piled up around her. Chen Sixuan's eyes were a little dull, her dry lips kept opening and closing, and she was muttering quietly.
"Jiangyu Line, numbered HX05681, with a total length of 1256 kilometers, stops at the first-level platforms Jiangning Station, Yubei Station... and the second-level platforms Yushan Station and Beiwan Station along the line."

Ever since she made the last phone call yesterday, Chen Sixuan has placed all her hopes on waiting for the speeding train.

But as time passed, the despair in her heart was gradually eating away at her last bit of sanity.

"North Bay Station, maintenance section..."

She muttered in a low voice, her voice suddenly stopped, and a tremor flashed in her eyes.

I thought of the student I had never paid much attention to. He came from an ordinary family, had a warm smile, was usually introverted, not very good at socializing, and not very good at sports...

It's like... everything is so normal

Then she remembered the "railway train" plan he mentioned, which was to start a heavy train and escape along the orbit around the star...

Does it sound... too sci-fi?
"Can he drive a train? If there is so much gasoline or energy, wouldn't it be more convenient to drive a car?" She talked to herself, and every question was like a sharp knife, cutting the hope in her heart.

What if the track is broken? Will he, the student, fix it, or will I, the foreign language teacher, fix it?

Questions that she didn't dare to think about popped up one after another, gradually swallowing her up, making her feel that her only remaining hope seemed to become extremely ridiculous...

Tears as big as beans lingered in the eyes, dripping down.

But Chen Sixuan didn't dare to accept her fate. She clenched her teeth tightly to prevent her tears from bursting out, and muttered to herself.

He promised...he would come...

"Beiwan Station, one main line, two arrival and departure lines..."

In the empty living room, Chen Sixuan's mumbling echoed again...

dong dong dong~
The knock on the door was like a stone breaking the calm surface of a lake, instantly creating ripples that were deafening in this empty room.

Chen Sixuan raised her head, surprise in her eyes.

Is he here?

She immediately ran barefoot from the sofa to the door, but did not dare to look into the peephole, so she spoke in panic.

“Who…who is it?!”

But the voice that responded to her from outside the door was that of a middle-aged man.

"Teacher Chen, it's me, Liang Wei. I called you for two days but you didn't answer. I'm a little worried, so I came to ask."

Chen Sixuan's heart instantly fell into an icy valley at this moment.

Director Liang was Chen Sixuan's former colleague. He was an extremely hypocritical person. When they were in school, he would often search Chen Sixuan dishonestly with his eyes. She also heard that Liang Wei had raped several female students. He was a real beast in human clothing.

I don’t know if it’s because of some background, but this guy actually made it to the position of office director in the university. Chen Sixuan hates this guy very much and seldom deals with him.

But it just so happened that Director Liang lived in the same residential complex and the same unit building as him. After the doomsday, Liang Wei called her every now and then. At first, he was very serious, saying that in times of crisis, everyone needed to stick together for warmth, and that he had a lot of supplies and if they were not enough, she could ask him for them.

But gradually, this guy's true nature was exposed. Especially after learning that Chen Sixuan did not have enough supplies, he became even more impatient to convey information to her and asked her to move in.

Hearing Director Liang's voice at this time, Chen Sixuan didn't know whether it was because her hopes were dashed or because she was upset, she retched for no apparent reason and responded in a cold voice.

"I am fine."

Bang bang bang!
The knocking on the door outside became heavier.
"Nothing? Didn't you tell me before that there wasn't much food left?!"

Seeing that Chen Sixuan was reluctant to open the door, Liang Wei outside leaned over the peephole and peeked inside. Chen Sixuan couldn't help but frowned and took a few steps back when she saw him approaching.

Unexpectedly, Liang Wei saw the figure inside, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted
"Teacher Chen, are you hungry? I still have a lot of bread, biscuits, canned beef, and mineral water. If you want to eat, I can take it down for you now."

Bread, biscuits, canned beef, mineral water...

When Chen Sixuan heard the names of these foods, they seemed to carry some kind of temptation that broke through her rationality.

She... has been hungry for two days.

But she also knew that no matter whether what Director Liang said was true or not, as long as she opened the door, she would become the doomsday toy of this disgusting scum.

But which is more important, shame or survival?

Perhaps because there was no response for a long time, Director Liang outside the door lost all his remaining patience. His expression changed and he suddenly slapped the door hard!

Bang!
"Chen Sixuan, you stinking bitch! Stop pretending to be so noble in front of me. People in this world are almost dying. You can at least live a few more days if you follow me. I won't fucking eat you, so what are you afraid of!"

"Open the door for me!"

Boom boom boom!
As they were talking, the knocking on the door turned into kicking it. The huge noise scared Chen Sixuan so much that her face turned pale. She turned around, grabbed the fruit knife on the shoe cabinet for self-defense, and protected it to her chest, her eyes full of struggle.
