Chapter 18 - Chapter 14 Siege

"Hmph!" The old lady's face changed drastically, gone was the half-dead look from before. She cast a malicious glance at Lin Xian in the freezer, "It's suffocating in there, if he likes dying let him die then."

"Yes, it's even stinkier than this room. Let's see how long he can last." Another young woman, sweating profusely, fanned herself and complained, "It's just that this damn freezer has good sound insulation, I almost screamed my throat hoarse."

The old lady glared at her discontentedly, "You know nothing, if we don't make it look real, how can we catch the fish?"

"Mom, your tactic really works."

Inside the freezer, Lin Xian's expression slightly darkened; it was apparent to him that this family was not new to this kind of dirty business. Luckily, he was vigilant and reacted quickly, otherwise, he might have lost his life in a split second!

At that moment, he confronted the four people outside with a cold gaze. It was easy to tell that the old lady was the mastermind of this family, and the other two were her son and daughter-in-law.

"Nonsense, haven't you heard 'old ginger is spicier'?" The old lady swept a cold glance at Lin Xian, "This fish today runs quite fast, but it seems not so bright, digging its own grave."

"Hey, brother, come out and give us the train keys, I guarantee we'll spare your life." The middle-aged man stepped forward and said to Lin Xian inside the freezer.

As expected, the opponents had noticed his 'Infinity' arrived at the platform beforehand, hence, this fishing trap just to kill and steal the locomotive!

"Do you think I would believe that?" Lin Xian coldly responded.

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

The man with the rifle on the platform sneered at Lin Xian, then mysteriously produced an iron chain and secured the freezer door handle from the outside.

"Dad~!"

At that moment, a chubby boy about eleven or twelve years old ran in, with a look of seeking praise he shouted at the middle-aged man, "I just checked, there's only one woman on the train, and she's quite pretty!"

The middle-aged man, named Huang Zhaojian, and the one with the rifle was his brother, Huang Jie.

"Just two people daring to run a train? Brave indeed!" Huang Jie sneered upon hearing the chubby boy's words, then looked towards the old lady, "Mom, what should we do?"

"What do you think?" The old lady glared at him irritably, "You say you're dim-witted, really a blockhead. There must be lots of stuff on that train, wouldn't hiding on the train be more comfortable than staying in this freezer?"

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

Huang Zhaojian looked at his wife and said sternly, "Right what? Do you know how to operate a train?!"

"Hmph, I might not know, but don't others? Ah Le said there's a pretty woman on the train, both young people know how to operate it, how hard can it be?"

"I want to drive the train, I want to drive the train!" The chubby boy jumped excitedly upon hearing about driving the train.

"I think so too, how hard can driving a train be? Brother, don't kill that pretty lady, leave her to me, haha." Huang Jie perked up as well.

"Shut up!"

Just as they were all excited, the old lady glanced at Lin Xian in the freezer and then signaled to the others,

"The second son, you stay here and guard."

After speaking, she walked off with the others, seemingly plotting something.

"Old hag, stop dreaming!"

Just as the old lady was about to move, Lin Xian suddenly spoke up from inside the freezer. He quickly figured out the old lady's plan and, in front of everyone, slowly took out a walkie-talkie from behind.

"Teacher Chen, I'm in a bit of trouble here, please don't open the door."

"Ah? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay, I definitely won't open the door!" Chen Sixuan responded nervously over the walkie-talkie.

"Damn it!"

Outside, Huang Zhaojian did not expect Lin Xian to have a walkie-talkie on him, and hearing him communicate directly, he flew into a rage and kicked the freezer door hard.

The old lady, seeing that Lin Xian had seen through her thoughts, clenched her teeth in anger, but then she came over and sneered at Lin Xian,

"A caged dog, huh? You think you can outlast us? It must be tough inside there."

The old lady was not wrong. The freezer was filled with a foul stench, making Lin Xian's head dizzy. He used his superpower to lock the freezer's mechanical door. Although he was temporarily safe, he couldn't get out.

"Damn it!" Huang Zhaojian slapped the window fiercely and shouted inside,

"Kid, think you can escape? I'll see how long you can hold out. If you test my patience, believe it or not, I'll drag the woman from that train out and gang-rape her in front of you."

The old lady also said venomously, "If you know what's good for you, you'll cooperate with us. You and that woman will drive, and we'll all escape from here together. I promise to spare your lives, how about that?"

In the old lady's eyes, Lin Xian trapped inside was nothing more than a sitting duck. Although temporarily unable to do anything to him, she knew that the air circulation in the freezer was poor and the stench unbearable, and that no one could last long inside. There were also no other exits. Lin Xian was only stubbornly resisting.

This mother and son were playing good cop, bad cop, almost amusing Lin Xian. Although he had the Wind Cannon Skill, facing two guns in combat was clearly an extremely irrational act.

Lin Xian was not a battle-hardened soldier, nor a valiant Ranger. Plainly speaking, he was just a college student with little experience in fighting. If not for his quick reaction earlier, he would have died at the hands of those two brothers outside.

Now trapped in the freezer, with Chen Sixuan outside unable to provide any help, Lin Xian suddenly had a crazy idea.

He ignored the people outside, took out a flashlight from his backpack, and began checking out the freezer's surroundings.

Outside, seeing that Lin Xian ignored them, the old lady, worried the train might leave, hurriedly signaled her two sons to check on the situation at the train.

Click, Lin Xian turned on the flashlight. The huge freezer housed neat shelves, but the goods on them had been looted long ago. Various types of thawed meat and blood had pooled on the floor, which was the main source of the foul smell.

Lin Xian walked deeper inside, flashlight sweeping, and found a row of large freezer chests on the other side. His eyes lit up, he walked over to check each one, although they were empty, he could use them to devour!

Since he couldn't escape for the time-being and the freezer was a natural fortress, Lin Xian could confidently start devouring these large appliances. With this in mind, he took out the walkie-talkie,

"Teacher Chen, change of plans, I'm temporarily trapped here. Stay in the train tonight, don't open the doors, don't turn on the lights, and don't make any noise. Wait for my message."

On the train, Chen Sixuan's face turned to panic after hearing Lin Xian's words.

She looked through the armored gaps of the train window and saw two armed men crossing the tracks towards her, nervously saying,

"Lin Xian, people are coming."

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

Chen Sixuan bit her lower lip and nodded, "Okay."

Just after finishing speaking, banging sounds came from outside the train's driver's cabin door,

"Open the door, open it fast, or I'll shoot."

"That man is in our hands, open the door quickly if you don't want him dead!"

Chen Sixuan, clutching the walkie-talkie, retreated to Car 1. It was her first time in such a situation, and it was impossible not to be nervous.

But Lin Xian's words were deeply ingrained in her heart, she wouldn't open the door no matter what the others said.

Bang!

At that moment, Huang Jie, holding a rifle, climbed to the position of the train's windshield, lying on it, scouting with his hands. He immediately saw the panicked Chen Sixuan inside and his eyes lit up, saliva almost dripping.

"Bro!!! That chick is there!!! Damn she's beautiful!!"

"Bro, let me take this woman as my wife!!"

In this apocalyptic world where society had collapsed, he was still a bachelor. Just thinking about it was frustrating. Seeing such a breathtaking woman as Chen Sixuan, his blood boiled. In this lawless, chaotic environment, his animal instincts were greatly amplified. Huang Jie wished he could rush in immediately.

Thump, thump!

His eyes blazing with urgency, he picked up the butt of his gun and smashed hard against the windshield of the Infinity, but no matter how hard he hit, not even a crack appeared.
