Chapter 29 Insect Corpse
Chapter 29 Insect Corpse
Clank! Clank!
The carriage returned to calm again.
Lin Xian gritted his teeth and looked up, only to see that the huge fangs were still embedded in the armored grille. He was startled and turned back to check. He saw that the metal hook was like a thick fishing line, dragging half of the giant insect's tail, leaving a shocking mark on the railroad track. The tail had already been torn into pieces and was bloody.
"died?!"
At this moment, KIKI finally put down her hand. She raised her head suddenly, but because her movement was too hasty, her head hit Lin Xian's chin squarely.
Bang! A crisp collision sound echoed in the car.
"Ouch~" KIKI cried out in pain and instinctively covered his head with his hands.
"Damn!" Lin Xian was also knocked dizzy. He covered his chin and cried out in pain with his teeth bared.
Neither of them had time to confirm whether the giant insect was really dead, so they each covered their injured parts and cried out in pain.
"It hurts so much, you bastard!" KIKI glared at him
"Your head is made of iron!" Lin Xian shouted angrily.
There was no time to argue with the girl. He endured the pain and stood up. Looking at the insect corpses that had stopped moving outside the carriage, he finally felt relieved.
To confirm, he began to slow down slowly, holding a knife and carefully walked to the rear of the train. He looked out and saw that the body of the insect clinging to the side of the train had been ground into pieces, leaving only a layer of skin on the abdomen and dense claws. Even half of the insect corpse had been torn off and hooked on the hook.
squeak!
At this time, Lin Xian slowly stopped the "Infinity"
“It’s really dead!” KIKI saw Lin Xian stop the car, rubbed his head and stood up excitedly, and hurried over. When he saw the insect corpse fragments all over the ground, his face suddenly turned green and he couldn’t help but retching: “What a disgusting big insect!”
Lin Xian turned around and looked at KIKI at this time, his eyes were somewhat wary.
But who would have thought that at this moment, a trace of bright red blood slowly flowed out of KIKI's two nostrils, but she didn't care at all. Seeing Lin Xian's gaze, she wiped the blood casually, raised her little face slightly, and looked at Lin Xian proudly, "So, I said you would be useful if you kept me."
"Do you know how to use your supernatural powers?"
"I think I know..."
"When?"
"I used it just now to save you." KIKI blinked. "See, I told you that I'm actually a good person."
As she spoke, a lot of nosebleed flowed again, and her face turned an extremely unhealthy white. She looked at Lin Xian and said, "But it's so strange. After using it for a while, I felt a headache and dizziness..."
Lin Xian looked at her, knowing that this was because she had consumed too much energy, and he became serious at this time. He looked at the tail panel of the rear cabin, then found a towel and threw it to KIKI, asking her to wipe the blood off her face.
"Is everyone okay?"
After the car stopped, Chen Sixuan ran over with a look of fear on her face. Seeing the miserable condition in car No. 3, she immediately started to vomit.
The dead insects gave off a foul, fishy smell that made even the strongest people unable to help but frown when seeing it.
Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan and had to say that Teacher Chen was much smarter than he had imagined. In that critical moment, it was she who came up with a solution.
"Thanks to you this time." Lin Xian said seriously
Chen Sixuan avoided his gaze and said embarrassedly
"It has nothing to do with me."
Lin Xian said frankly, "Why doesn't it matter? If it weren't for your idea, I really don't know how to deal with this monster."
"Hey!" KIKI put her hands on her hips and looked indignant. "Why didn't anyone thank me?"
As he spoke, a trickle of blood flowed out of his nose again.
Lin Xian frowned, and seeing that KIKI looked unhappy, he asked, "How do you feel?"
"I……"
Before she finished speaking, KIKI narrowed her eyes and staggered towards Lin Xian, her face pressed against his chest. Before she lost consciousness, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, and said in a weak voice:
"Don't, don't leave me out of the car..."
Lin Xian's expression changed slightly when he heard that. Now looking at KIKI who had fallen asleep, his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.
It seems that this girl is also aware of her situation. She can still help in the face of life and death. Thinking of this, she let down her guard against her.
He raised his head and his eyes met with Chen Sixuan's.
"You watch her first, I'll go check out the situation. If there's no danger for the time being, we'll wait here until dawn." "Okay." Chen Sixuan looked at the messy carriage No. 3 and the dark wilderness around it, and nodded uneasily.
Lin Xian took out a flashlight from the toolbox in the car, jumped out of the car from the tailgate, and looked at the broken insect corpse with a frown.
He hurried back to the carriage, dragged out the small crane, and tore the red worm's huge claws off the armored grille. The remaining abdomen of the worm fell to the ground from the side of the train.
Then he walked to the back, unhooked the half-worm tail, and put it back on the car.
“This needs to be fixed.”
Lin Xian looked at carriage No. 3 after the battle with a heavy expression.
"As that girl said, this car needs to be equipped with some weapons and defense systems. It's useless just to run."
If it weren't for Chen Sixuan's sudden inspiration, Lin Xian would really have been at a loss as to where to start tonight.
His wind gun can be as powerful as a firearm at close range, but its power is greatly reduced at a distance. Both the white giant and today's red bug are monsters with thick skin and flesh.
Conventional weapons can hardly gain any advantage against them.
Just as Lin Xian was cleaning up the wreckage and preparing to return to the train, he suddenly felt a shock under his feet, as if something was surging underground.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound in his ears. He picked up the flashlight and shone it over there. He saw a surge of black gas coming out of the huge insect corpse beside the train. The black gas did not go up into the air, but was sucked into the ground by some strange force.
Lin Xian frowned and walked over. The rustling sound beside his ears suddenly became louder, as if there were hundreds of people crying and howling, making his scalp tingle!
"What the hell!"
Lin Xian was startled and took a few steps back, moving away from the black smoke. The shouts and howls turned into tiny rustling sounds again.
In just a few breaths, the black gas disappeared, leaving only the insect corpses left there, emitting a fishy smell.
"Did I hear it wrong?" Lin Xian was shocked. When he was close to the black gas just now, he did hear human cries, which was heart-wrenching, as if the victims swallowed by the giant beast were howling at the same time, which was extremely weird.
Woo~
Back on the train, Lin Xian tried to raise the tailgate.
Although the car body was cracked in several places, fortunately the hydraulic press of the tailgate was still strong. After Lin Xian activated the Mechanical Heart to raise the tailgate, he looked at the mess in carriage No. 3 and saw many tools scattered on the ground.
Including a welding machine, a small crane, and my own motorcycle.
These things are very useful, but it would be difficult to repair them if they were damaged.
Lin Xian’s mechanical repair ability and manufacturing ability are common, which requires corresponding materials and also takes a lot of time.
He was exhausted after the battle just now. Fortunately, this was in the wilderness and the huge noise did not attract a large number of zombies, so he could catch his breath for a while.
I looked at the time, it was already 21:15 at night. I had just been fighting the giant insect for more than two hours.
"How about it?"
Seeing Lin Xian closing the door and walking over, Chen Sixuan stood up and asked
"Safe for now." Lin Xian picked up a bottle of water from the storage shelf and drank one third of it in one gulp.
He glanced over and saw that the little girl had been helped by Chen Sixuan to fall asleep on the sofa. It was obvious that although the girl's newly awakened supernatural powers were powerful, her energy consumption was also extremely exaggerated.
Lin Xian's expression was a little complicated at this time. Although he had just saved her and they had fought side by side, this girl was really cunning. Moreover, after she awakened her superpowers, Lin Xian felt that he might not be sure that he could be her opponent. Thinking of this, he began to worry.
"Are you hurt?"
Chen Sixuan looked at the blood on Lin Xian's hands and face and couldn't help but ask.
"Just a superficial wound." Lin Xian sighed and looked at Chen Sixuan. "I ran quite a distance tonight. I'll see how things go tomorrow. I want to rest at Beiwan Station."
Chen Sixuan nodded
"Beiwan Town is not very big, so the situation shouldn't be too complicated. After Beiwan Station, the next largest city is Yubei City, and only from there will we actually enter the Ring Star Orbit Line. The road conditions..."
She wanted to say that the road conditions in the circumplanetary orbit might be better, but she was not sure at this time. After all, she was lucky not to encounter gravel or broken tracks along the way. Who knew whether the road conditions would be better or worse in the future.
