Siege

"Hmph!" The old woman's expression changed drastically. She no longer looked half-dead as she had moments before. Her gaze swept venomously over Lin Xian in the cold storage room. "It's suffocating in there. If he wants to die, let him die."

"Yeah, it stinks even worse in there than in here. Let's see how long he can last," another young woman said, fanning herself with her hand, sweat beading on her forehead. She sounded a bit resentful. "It's just this crappy cold storage that has decent soundproofing. My throat's about to go hoarse from yelling."

The old woman glared at her in displeasure. "What do you know? If you don't put on a better show, how are you going to catch the fish?"

"Mom, your plan is still the best."

Inside the cold storage, Lin Xian's expression turned grim. He could tell this family wasn't new to this kind of business. Fortunately, he was cautious and reacted quickly. Otherwise, in just half a breath, he might have been killed by a gun.

At this moment, his gaze met the four people outside coldly. It was clear that the old woman was the mastermind of this family, and the other two were her son and daughter-in-law.

"Nonsense. Haven't you heard that old ginger is spicier? The older, the more potent," the old woman said, her eyes sweeping coldly over Lin Xian. "This fish got away pretty fast today, but it seems a bit slow-witted, running into a dead end by itself."

"Hey, brother, come out and give us the train keys. I promise to spare your life," the middle-aged man stepped forward and said to Lin Xian in the cold storage.

So, they had observed his "Infinite" entering the platform beforehand and used this fishing trap to kill him and steal the train!

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Lin Xian replied coldly.

"Fine. If you won't come out, I'll make sure you stay in there long enough."

The man with the spear on the platform sneered at Lin Xian. He rummaged around and found a chain, which he used to tie up the handle of the cold storage door from the outside.

"Dad~!"

Just then, a chubby kid about eleven or twelve years old, with a face full of fat, ran in from outside. With a look of seeking praise, he shouted to the middle-aged man, "I just checked. There's only one woman on that train, and she's quite pretty!"

The middle-aged man's surname was Huang, and his name was Huang Zhaojian. The one with the spear was his younger brother, Huang Jie.

"Two people dare to drive a train? That's bold!" Huang Jie couldn't help but scoff when he heard the chubby kid's words. He then looked at the old woman. "Mom, what should we do?"

"What do you think we should do?" The old woman glared at him impatiently. "You really are clueless. There must be a lot of stuff on that train. If we can drive the train, wouldn't it be more comfortable to hide on it than in this cold storage?"

"Right!" Gong Li's eyes lit up. "This way, we can leave this godforsaken place."

Huang Zhaojian looked at his wife and said sternly, "Right about what? Can you drive a train?!"

"Hmph, I can't drive it, but can't others? Didn't A'Le say there was a pretty woman on the train? Both of these young people can drive, how hard can it be?"

"I want to drive the train! I want to drive the train!" The chubby kid, hearing about driving the train, immediately jumped up with excitement.

"I agree, how hard can driving a train be? Brother, don't kill that pretty woman, save her for me, hahaha." Huang Jie also got excited.

"Shut up!"

Just as they were getting excited, the old woman glanced at Lin Xian in the cold storage and then signaled to the others.

"Second son, you stay here and keep watch."

After speaking, she pulled the others away, seemingly preparing to plot something.

"Old hag, stop dreaming!"

Just as the old woman was about to move, Lin Xian inside the cold storage suddenly spoke. He immediately saw through the old woman's plan and, in front of everyone, slowly took out a walkie-talkie from his backpack.

"Teacher Chen, I've run into some trouble. Do not open the door, no matter what."

"Ah? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay, I definitely won't open the door!" Chen Sixuan replied nervously from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"Damn it!"

Huang Zhaojian outside didn't expect Lin Xian to have a walkie-talkie. Hearing him contact someone so openly, he became furious and kicked the cold storage door violently.

Seeing that her plan was exposed by Lin Xian, the old woman gritted her teeth fiercely. But then she walked over and sneered at Lin Xian.

"A dog locked up, huh? What, you want to stall us? That place must feel terrible, right?"

The old woman wasn't wrong. The cold storage was filled with a foul stench that made Lin Xian's head spin. He used his ability to lock the mechanical lock on the cold storage door. While he was temporarily safe, he couldn't get out either.

"Damn you!" Huang Zhaojian slapped the window and shouted fiercely inside.

"Kid, do you think you can escape? I'll see how long you can last. If I lose my patience, believe it or not, I'll drag the woman on that train out and rape her right in front of you."

The old woman also said with a sinister expression, "If you're smart, you'll cooperate with us. You and that woman are responsible for driving, and we'll all escape this place together. I promise to spare your lives, how about it?"

In the old woman's eyes, Lin Xian, trapped inside, was nothing more than a turtle in a jar. Although she couldn't do anything to him for the moment, she knew that the air circulation in the cold storage was poor and the stench was unbearable. People couldn't stay inside for long, and there was no other exit. Lin Xian was merely putting up a futile resistance.

These mother and son, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, almost made Lin Xian laugh. Although he had the Wind Cannon skill, choosing to fight against two guns was clearly an extremely unwise decision.

Lin Xian was not a seasoned soldier or a valiant ranger. To put it bluntly, he was just a college student with very little combat experience. If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he would have already been shot dead by those two brothers outside.

Now he was trapped in the cold storage, and Chen Sixuan outside couldn't offer any help. With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, he suddenly had a crazy idea.

So, he completely ignored the people outside, took out a flashlight from his backpack, and began to survey the environment inside the cold storage.

Outside, seeing Lin Xian ignore them, the old woman, afraid the train would escape, quickly signaled her two sons to go and check the train first.

Click. Lin Xian turned on the flashlight. The huge cold storage was filled with neatly arranged shelves, but the goods on them had long been looted. The melted blood and water from various frozen meats flowed all over the floor. The unpleasant smell mainly originated from here.

Lin Xian walked towards the depths. His flashlight beam swept across, and he found a row of large freezers on the other side. His eyes lit up, and he walked over to check them one by one. Although there was nothing left inside the freezers, he could devour them!

Since he couldn't get out for the time being, and this cold storage was a natural fortress, Lin Xian could wholeheartedly begin to devour these large appliances. Thinking of this, he took out the walkie-talkie again.

"Teacher Chen, the plan has changed. I'm temporarily trapped here. You stay on the train tonight. Don't open the door, don't turn on the lights, and don't make any noise. Wait for my news."

Lin Xian's words made Chen Sixuan's face flush with panic.

Peeking through the gaps in the train car's armor, she saw two men with guns crossing the tracks toward her. Her expression grew tense as she said, "Lin Xian, someone's coming."

"I know. Don't be scared. As long as you don't open the door, they can't do anything to you."

Chen Sixuan bit her lower lip and nodded. "Mhm."

Just as she finished speaking, a loud knocking echoed from outside the driver's cabin door.

"Open the door! Hurry up and open it, or I'll shoot!"

"That guy is in our hands! If you don't want him to die, open the door now!!"

Chen Sixuan gripped the intercom tightly and retreated to the first car. It was her first time in a situation like this, and it was impossible not to feel flustered.

But Lin Xian's words were etched deeply in her mind. No matter what they said, she absolutely would not open the door.

Clang!

At that moment, Huang Jie, holding a long gun, climbed onto the front windshield of the train. He lay on it, using his hand as a visor, and immediately saw the panicked Chen Sixuan inside. His eyes lit up, and he almost drooled.

"Bro!!! The chick is there!!! She's so damn beautiful!!"

"Bro, can I have this woman as my wife?!"

The apocalypse had arrived, society had collapsed, yet he was still a bachelor. The mere thought was incredibly frustrating. Seeing a woman as stunning as Chen Sixuan, a surge of heat rushed straight to his head. In this lawless, chaotic environment, man's beastly nature was amplified infinitely. Huang Jie couldn't wait to rush in.

Thump, thump!

His eyes blazed with fire. In his urgency, he directly raised his rifle and slammed the butt against the windshield of the Infinite.

But no matter how hard he hit, the windshield didn't even show a crack.
