Don't Insult Livestock

Director Liang clearly overestimated his combat strength. How could a sturdy security door be opened by a man in his fifties with a mind full of lechery? However, he calmed down at this point, stopping his kicking. He was also worried that if the noise attracted any monsters, he'd be hoist by his own petard.

So, his eyes rolled, and he sinisterly shouted into the room, "It's okay, Teacher Chen. I happen to have some leftover canned meat. To show my sincerity, I'll leave it at your door later. It'll be dark soon anyway. You can either open the door and eat it yourself, or... let those monsters eat you."

"Perhaps tonight, after you're dead, I can still find your corpse and warm it up... ugh!"

Before he could finish his threatening words, a dull chopping sound suddenly echoed from outside the door.

Liang Wei, who had been spewing vulgarities moments ago, fell silent.

Thump.

The sound of someone falling to the ground echoed from the hallway.

Chen Sixuan's eyes widened in alarm. Trembling, she walked to the peephole again. When she pressed her eye against it and saw the scene outside, her pupils instantly constricted!

Outside the door, a rather familiar young man was pulling a knife from Liang Wei's head!

Lin Xian!

Director Liang had actually been split open by him with a single blow!

Seeing this, Chen Sixuan gasped, and before she could react, she heard a voice from outside the door.

"Teacher Chen, if you're still alive, I suggest we don't waste time."

Lin Xian's voice sent a shiver down Chen Sixuan's spine.

He was here. He was here to get her out!

Chen Sixuan's expression visibly paled. Seeing Liang Wei killed brought a flicker of satisfaction to her heart. With a surge of courage she didn't know she had, she immediately opened the door without hesitation.

"Classmate Lin..."

She called out subconsciously, then glanced at the blood-stained short knife in Lin Xian's hand. She involuntarily took two steps back, her eyes a mixture of surprise and fear.

Her gaze swept over Liang Wei, who was almost split open at the brow by the blow, slumped on the ground with wide, angry eyes. Blood and brains flowed out continuously, a gruesome death.

Gag.

Chen Sixuan finally couldn't hold back, clutching her abdomen and dry-heaving.

But she hadn't eaten in two days, her stomach was empty, and she could only retch stomach acid.

Lin Xian looked at the haggard Chen Sixuan before him, a stark contrast to the energetic Teacher Chen he remembered, who always carried herself with a mature aura even in class. He felt a pang of melancholy.

Today, Chen Sixuan was wearing long jeans and a sweatshirt, with a light windbreaker over it.

Perhaps this was what she considered suitable attire for escape.

"Guys like that are no different from beasts. Don't feel burdened. Have you packed your luggage?" Lin Xian's gaze swept over the rows of high heels on the shoe cabinet nearby, finally settling on Chen Sixuan's feet. He noticed she wasn't even wearing shoes.

"Yes... I'm all ready!"

Chen Sixuan suppressed the turmoil in her heart, quickly adjusting her state to avoid appearing like a burden to Lin Xian. She quickly bent down to put on her shoes, averting her gaze from Liang Wei's corpse.

Lin Xian didn't waste time. He walked in, rummaged around, took out a cardboard box, and tossed Chen Sixuan's coffee maker, juicer, and a few other small appliances from the kitchen into it. He then handed it to her to hold.

"Take this."

"Huh? Why are we taking these?!" Chen Sixuan took the box, feeling both nervous and curious, not understanding why Lin Xian wanted these items.

But Lin Xian was her savior now. Since he didn't answer, she suppressed her questions and obediently followed him, holding the box.

Chen Sixuan's entire luggage was just a small travel bag.

Besides a few pieces of clothing, there was nothing else of importance.

Oh, and a box of condoms.

Although she was inexperienced, as an educated woman, her views were relatively open. She had developed this habit of protecting herself since she became an adult.

Now that the world was ending, in this environment, getting pregnant would be equivalent to entering hell.

No matter what she had to face, this was her last measure of self-protection.

Apart from this, she had no food or water left.

Apartment 1203 upstairs was Director Liang's place. The door was locked, but Chen Sixuan didn't know what Lin Xian did. He simply placed his hand on the door and operated it, and the door opened.

Liang Wei had said he had plenty of food and water at home. Lin Xian, who was preparing to flee, couldn't miss such an opportunity to scavenge.

But as soon as the door opened, a foul stench wafted out. Chen Sixuan followed Lin Xian and peeked inside, nearly blacking out. Her stomach churned.

Gag.

Not only her, but Lin Xian's face also turned pale, his brow furrowed.

Because Liang Wei's apartment contained no food or water. The entire place was covered in bloody stains. In the kitchen, half of a butchered corpse lay there. At first glance, it appeared to be a middle-aged woman.

It wasn't hard to guess that this unfortunate woman was likely the original mistress of the house, Director Liang's wife.

"I apologize to the beasts; calling them beasts is a grave insult to them," Lin Xian's eyes turned cold. "Let's go! Stay close to me and try not to make any noise." Realizing there was nothing useful to salvage, he turned and left decisively.

"Okay!" Chen Sixuan's face was ashen. She was completely terrified.

"There are many dead bodies outside. Don't make a sound."

"Okay!"

"Always watch your step, don't fall."

"Okay!"

Having witnessed such a horrific scene, Chen Sixuan was like an obedient student at this moment, listening intently to everything Lin Xian said.

Her woman's intuition told her that following Lin Xian was the right choice.

Squelch!

On the platform, Lin Xian smashed the heads of several zombies as he led Chen Sixuan down a small path from the platform.

Chen Sixuan's face was ashen, and she forced herself to follow, her stomach churning.

She never imagined the outside world had become such a hellscape.

The scene at Director Liang's house would surely become a nightmare she could never shake.

In the dark tunnel, only the sound of their hurried breaths could be heard.

Before long, the dim track lights illuminated the massive silhouette of a train. Chen Sixuan's eyes widened in surprise. As Lin Xian walked towards it, the heavy train suddenly started to move, its headlights bursting forth and engulfing Chen Sixuan in light.

"Don't just stand there, get on quickly."

"Okay."

Lin Xian took the small appliance from her hand, then grabbed Chen Sixuan's hand and pulled her onto the train.

They immediately entered the driver's cabin and closed the heavy iron door.

The lights inside were bright. Instantly enveloped by steel walls, a great sense of security washed over Chen Sixuan.

"Student Lin... you really know how to drive a train?"

"Did I push this thing here?"

Lin Xian chuckled faintly. After closing the door, his expression relaxed somewhat.

He placed his hand on the floor, activated the Mechanical Heart to turn off the train's headlights, then led her to the first carriage. He found a bag of bread and a bottle of water from the supplies and tossed them to Chen Sixuan.

"You look like you haven't eaten in days. Eat."

Chen Sixuan took them with trembling excitement, her eyes red. Silent tears streamed down her face. She bit her lower lip, fighting back the urge to break down, and whispered shakily, "Th-thank you..."

She was indeed starving. Without even putting down her backpack, she tore open the bread packaging and began to eat ravenously, tears still flowing.

Lin Xian sat opposite her, recovering his energy while observing Chen Sixuan.

Seeing a familiar face brought him a sense of comfort.

In this post-apocalyptic world where life and death were uncertain, no one could resist the consuming fear of death and loneliness, and he was no exception.

Humans are social animals, and especially after the internet went down, that feeling was simply terrible.

Operating the Infinite, including using the Wind Cannon skill, consumed a great deal of his energy.

It was hard to describe, but using this power put a burden on his body.

"Chen Si..." Lin Xian's eyes flickered. "Never mind, I'll still call you Teacher Chen."

Watching Chen Sixuan devour the bread, Lin Xian began to lay down some ground rules.

"First, I'll tell you, I'm a superpowered individual. No one can drive this train except me. If I die, you die too. So, since I brought you onto this train, it means from today onwards, we are allies, teammates. You must trust me unconditionally and follow my arrangements, or your fate will be very grim."

Chen Sixuan swallowed a mouthful of bread, her eyes red as she looked at Lin Xian and nodded firmly, "I understand. From today on, I'll listen to you."

Lin Xian nodded. "As for what kind of superpower I have, you don't need to know. This train is our fortress. It's very sturdy, but it might not be able to withstand those monsters. Of course, there will definitely be bad people who covet our supplies. When driven to desperation, human hearts can sometimes be more terrifying than devils."

"So, there will be times when I need you to help me solve problems, search for supplies, and I'll also need you to guide the route and guard the door."

"Mm." Perhaps because she had eaten something, Chen Sixuan gradually regained some strength.

"Also, Teacher Chen," Lin Xian slowly stood up, looking at her seriously. "You'd better be mentally prepared. I'm definitely going to sleep with you."

Chen Sixuan's delicate body trembled noticeably at his words. She couldn't help but grip the bread tighter in her hand. Sitting on the floor, her messy long hair obscured her somewhat flustered eyes.

Lin Xian, her former student, speaking to her so directly now sent a shock through her heart.

She lowered her head and softly hummed in response.

Then she continued eating the bread, her heart pounding wildly.
