Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train-Chapter 209: Check, Be Gentle

Lin Xian enjoyed a relaxing shower, letting the hot water wash over him. The bathroom was stocked with everyday essentials like body wash and shampoo that Chen Sixuan had collected, making him feel as if half of his exhaustion had been washed away. His whole body felt refreshed.

Since the coverage of the Polar Night hadn’t fully reached the area yet, the Yunjiang Plains only experienced a slight drop in temperature, with no snow or blizzards in sight.

Each living carriage on the Infinite Train was equipped with restrooms and showers, all connected to the onboard water circulation system. Lin Xian had modified them to improve efficiency, but Carriage No. 1 had the largest bathroom, as it was originally designed with a bathtub.

Because of its spaciousness and the availability of toiletries, KIKI and the other girls typically used this bathroom. However, Lin Xian had set a rule: no soaking in the bathtub—to conserve water.

Just as Lin Xian stepped out of the bathroom, he spotted Chen Sixuan entering Carriage No. 1, holding the logbook she had repurposed for tracking supplies.

"Aside from that Level-3 Eerie Blood Crystal, we also found twelve Level-1s and three Level-2s from the Vajra Convoy. Additionally, we secured four rocket launchers, eleven rockets, two 12.7mm vehicle-mounted autocannons, and over three thousand rounds of ammunition. However, there wasn’t much food or medicine—we left some behind for the survivors beneath the cinema, as you suggested. We also gave them a radio and a few weapons."

Lin Xian nodded. “That’s already a solid haul. But as for these blood crystals… other than trading with the Phoenix, we still don’t know if they have any other uses."

"Yeah," Chen Sixuan closed the logbook. "I believe they must be useful—it all depends on what the Phoenix’s research uncovers. Honestly, we owe a lot to Director Ding this time. If we had blindly rushed forward, things could have ended much worse for us."

Humanity’s understanding of the darkness was still only the tip of the iceberg. Brute force and courage alone weren’t enough to survive in this new world—the path ahead for survivors remained uncertain.

“Alright, you’ve been busy all day too. Go take a shower and get some rest.”

Lin Xian looked at Chen Sixuan. Sweat glistened on her forehead—after spending the entire day as a sniper on the rooftop, fighting in the afternoon, preparing dinner, and managing supplies, her delicate features showed clear traces of exhaustion.

Upon hearing his words, her eyes flickered, avoiding his gaze.

Now that they were in a safe and relaxed environment, she knew exactly where this night might be heading.

But… why did she instinctively think of the word "finally"?

Her heartbeat quickened, as if a feather had brushed against her heart, leaving a tingling sensation behind. Ever since dinner, her mind had been drifting toward thoughts of the night, but she had deliberately kept herself busy in Carriage No. 6 with Miao Lu and the others, avoiding these thoughts altogether.

She had waited until all the other carriages had gone dark and quiet before coming back.

Now, hearing Lin Xian’s words, she suddenly felt like she had played too coy.

Lin Xian noticed the faint blush creeping up her face. He had no idea what calculations she was running in her head, so he simply asked,

"Chen Laoshi, what’s wrong?"

"Ah… nothing… nothing at all!"

Chen Sixuan’s reaction was flustered, and she quickly pointed at her logbook in a serious manner.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

"I just remembered—there’s still something left to check. You go ahead and shower first, I’ll go after you."

The moment she finished speaking, she regretted it.

Because Lin Xian had literally just stepped out of the shower.

Anyone could see through her excuse at a glance.

"It’s already this late, and you’re still checking supplies~?"

Lin Xian caught the flicker of panic in her expression, immediately snatching the logbook from her hands and tossing it onto the table.

Then, without hesitation, he grabbed her and pulled her into the bathroom, locking the door behind them.

"Ah! What are you— You just showered, didn’t you?!—Mmph…!"

Before she could finish her sentence, her soft lips were sealed by a sudden, scorching kiss.

Lin Xian’s arms wrapped tightly around her, and the overwhelming heat of his presence sent shivers coursing through her body.

Her mind went blank.

She melted into his embrace, surrendering without resistance.

Clothes—coated in dust and blood—fell to the floor one by one.

The hot shower was turned on, steam quickly filling the bathroom, thick with the scent of pulsing desire.

As the hot water cascaded down, Chen Sixuan involuntarily clenched her thighs together, a torrential heat surging through her veins.

For a fleeting moment, she lost control, instinctively throwing herself against Lin Xian’s chest.

Though her frame appeared delicate, her curves were soft and full, her skin as smooth as polished jade.

Lin Xian inhaled her scent, a warm and intoxicating fragrance, his whole body shuddering with pleasure as he pressed his lips against hers, savoring every inch.

"Mmm…"

A sweet moan escaped her lips as she felt his breath sear against her skin, sending shivers all over her body.

The relentless heat of his touch burrowed into her, and a mix of shame and longing left her helplessly trapped in this intoxicating moment.

As the shower water continued to flow, Chen Sixuan could no longer hold back.

She bit down on her lip, suppressing the moans threatening to escape her throat, while her trembling body desperately fought against the overwhelming tide of emotions.

And then—she felt it.

Something hot and rigid pressed against her.

She instinctively twisted in embarrassment, only causing more friction between them.

"Chen Laoshi~"

"Mmm…"

She shuddered at the sound of his voice, her response soft and breathless.

A fire ignited deep in Lin Xian’s chest, and he couldn’t bear to let go of her supple waist.

With one hand cradling the back of her neck, he deepened the kiss, while the other lifted her leg.

And then—like a war machine roaring to life, he pressed forward, plunging into the scorching storm of steam and passion.

"Ah~"

At that moment, Chen Sixuan completely surrendered, her body trembling, her face flushed, her dazed eyes filled with longing.

Their souls collided in the dark, breaking through the walls that separated them.

Within the solitude of the apocalypse, they found comfort in each other’s warmth.

Beyond the dark mountains, the Infinite Train slowly dimmed its lights, sinking into its first peaceful night after crossing the Dazhu Plateau.

A small aircraft hovered over a scorched and leveled forest, its lights flickering against the remains of a burned colossal entity.

Three figures in black robes stood silently beside the charred corpse.

Their faces were fully concealed by masks, making their expressions unreadable.

On the chest of each robe, a red sigil resembling a goat’s head was embroidered, with a series of numbers printed below it.

"Subject A013—confirmed deceased."

One of them held a scanner, its display flickering with data.

"Chemical explosive traces detected—tracked from the chemical plant to this freight station. The target possesses heavy weaponry and high-level abilities."

The leader of the trio spoke in a cold, detached tone.

"Extract a sample of its living tissue."

"Understood."

A black-robed figure retrieved a high-tech extraction device, pressing it against an untouched black tendril of the colossal parasite.

With a soft mechanical hiss, the device sealed the sample in an airtight container.

"Based on the movement patterns, this was a deliberate assault on an Eerie Entity. Rain Town only has a few scattered corpses remaining—at least one hundred survivors have been relocated."

"A proactive kill of an A-Class Eerie Entity—report it immediately."

"Yes. What about the survivors?"

The leader’s voice turned even colder.

"Deploy a cleanup squad. Mark them as test subjects for long-term observation."
