Chapter 31 Motorcycle Girl
Chapter 31 Motorcycle Girl
Lin Xian looked at the girl in front of him with interest, and smiled faintly, "Hearing what you said, it seems that you have a better idea?"
"Of course," KIKI said confidently, "We are all in the same boat now. Even if I don't consider you as a bad guy, I still have to think about my own safety. How can I get to Jinhai under the current circumstances?"
"Tell me."
KIKI looked at him and said, "Your ability is to control machinery, right?"
Lin Xian nodded, "That's right."
"Just right." KIKI snapped his fingers and said confidently, "I know the nearest military outpost is near North Bay City. There should be a lot of military supplies there. If you're lucky, maybe you can get a radar system or a sentry system. At worst, you can get some weapons. It's better than fighting with bugs with a knife like you did last night, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Sixuan on the side was full of disbelief and asked, "Military outpost? How do you know about this?"
"I know a lot more." KIKI looked proud, and she looked at Lin Xian, "How about we cooperate?"
Lin Xian looked at her, smiled faintly, and his eyes were cold.
"I reject."
"Ah?!" KIKI was suddenly stunned. Lin Xian had been full of interest just now, why did he suddenly become so cold?
"You...what do you mean?"
Lin Xian cast a cold gaze on her and said slowly:
"I don't like being manipulated by others. If you think you want to oppose me because you have awakened your superpowers, we might as well decide life and death right away to avoid suspicion of each other along the way."
KIKI felt a little guilty when she heard this and said, "Who... who wants to oppose you?"
Lin Xian smiled faintly and said, "I can send you to Jinhai. It's just a city on the way in the orbit of the star. But I don't want to make any deal with you, or do this for you. We can only live one day at a time. 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, and the food is limited. We need to divide the work and cooperate. As for whether you will bring me any benefits by going to Jinhai, I don't care at all. Do you understand?"
Perhaps others would think that Lin Xian’s thinking was very short-sighted, but in the doomsday, the current situation was always more important than the future prospects. He had to consider his daily survival and had to find a way to escape the polar night, and he would not even think about the future benefits and promises.
Thinking too much is a burden. KIKI wanted to use this concept to negotiate with him in order to gain a special status on the train and boss him around. This was a complete miscalculation.
For other survivors, such expectations can make them work crazy, but Lin Xian is not such a person.
A person who is not sincere is of no value to him no matter how capable she is.
The most important thing is that he must make KIKI feel a sense of crisis, otherwise if he compromises with her, she will think that Lin Xian is afraid of her supernatural powers.
In this case, why not just make it clear whether it is an enemy or a friend.
KIKI saw Lin Xian looking at her with a smile on his face. For some reason, that smile did not seem to give her a warm feeling. On the contrary, it seemed that as long as she turned around, that smile would turn into a horrible evil ghost, baring its fangs and swallowing her in one bite.
Facing Lin Xian's strong speech, KIKI's eyes began to flicker. Their eyes met and there seemed to be silence for a while. Then KIKI looked away, hugged her legs on the sofa and put her chin between her knees. She no longer had that smug look on her face. She looked at him with her big eyes like a kitten and said, "Oh~".
"Oh what?" Lin Xian's eyes were burning.
"Then I'll listen to you." KIKI poked two index fingers, although a little unconvinced, but the tone became less sharp. "Anyway, don't let me starve..."
Lin Xian stood up and took a can of fruit and a bag of snacks from the storage shelf and threw them to her. He said in a cold voice, "I don't care what your previous identity was, but once you get on this bus, you'd better not have other thoughts. Everyone has only one life. If you can't make me feel at ease, I will throw you off even if you are useful."
When KIKI heard this, she rolled her eyes and looked at him secretly, not knowing what he was thinking. She opened the can and took a bite, then was quiet for a while, then spoke to break the silence.
"My name is Wen Qi."
"Is the name fake too?"
KIKI blushed and said, "No, I've always been called KIKI. Wen Qi is my real name."
Lin Xian nodded, hearing the good intention in her words, and said in a gentler tone.
"I can take this as a way for you to show your sincerity to me." "Then can I have a request?" KIKI said
"explain."
"Let me live in carriage No. 2."
KIKI doesn't want to sleep in the same carriage with Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan all day long. Although she has a carefree personality, she is a 16-year-old girl after all and is somewhat sensitive about matters between men and women.
"No problem." Lin Xian nodded. "But carriage No. 2 is relatively empty. If you want to live there, we need to make some preparations."
"I'll figure this out myself."
"Huh?!" Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was unfriendly.
KIKI quickly changed her words and said meekly, "What I mean is that I will get your consent, and of course I need your help~"
"That's good enough." Lin Xian was much more satisfied with KIKI's current attitude.
After a period of "friendly" negotiations, Lin Xian temporarily accepted this girl with a complicated identity, and after the battle last night, he also recognized the value of KIKI.
"Hello~"
Seeing Lin Xian was about to leave, KIKI pouted and called him, "Bad guy, do you still want to go to that military outpost?"
Lin Xian frowned. "No trap, right?"
KIKI rolled her eyes at him and said in a surprisingly gentle tone, "If you don't believe me, I can go with you."
Lin Xian's expression was slightly gloomy. He could tell that KIKI's words were quite sincere at this time. At the same time, he re-evaluated his "Infinite Train" plan and felt that it still had many shortcomings.
With his special abilities, he could only temporarily relieve himself of the pressure on energy. However, since he set out on the journey, each of the troubles he encountered was more deadly than the energy problem.
So when KIKI told him that there was a military outpost in Beiwan City, Lin Xian became interested from the bottom of his heart.
He is now in urgent need of upgrading the armor and replenishing the weapons for "Infinity". Moreover, such a large mobile fortress also requires a more sensitive reconnaissance system. He himself also urgently needs to upgrade the level of the Mechanical Heart or acquire more useful skills.
Lin Xian once imagined that an ordinary hair dryer could allow him to acquire a powerful "wind cannon" skill. If it was a military weapon, there might be more surprises after swallowing it!
So no matter how he considered it, he decided not to rush into the darkness recklessly anymore, and he must have enough means of self-protection.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian nodded and said, "I do want to upgrade the armor and weapons of the train. We can go and take a look at the military outpost you mentioned, and we can also replenish some supplies in Beiwan Town."
"Okay, okay!" KIKI's eyes lit up and pointed in the direction of carriage No. 3. "Then let's ride that one?"
Lin Xian frowned and looked at her. "Can you ride?"
"Tsk, 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. Combined with a pair of smooth long legs under her shorts, she looked like a punk girl inexplicably.
"Do you know my former name?"
"Spiritual little sister?"
"Pah! It's the Black Knight of Huiyue!"
"A black motorcycle?"
"Bah! Country bum!"
