Chapter 87: Chapter 83 Frequency Band

Chen Sixuan’s gaze was slightly stern. So many times, when the team encountered danger, she could only hide in the safest place in the vehicle. Although Lin Xian felt she had been helpful, after experiencing so many fierce battles, Chen Sixuan’s mentality had become toughened. She felt that she needed to learn some self-defense skills, and now with Lin Xian not around, this need had become even more intense.

Sha Sha looked at Chen Sixuan with a surprised face and stuck out her tongue, "Alright, but I’m not very good at this either. I only know how to shoot. As for how to hit accurately with a sniper rifle, I have no idea."

"That’s alright," Chen Sixuan walked over and took down the sniper rifle, immediately feeling its weight intensify as she gripped it. She grimaced and lifted it up, exhaling softly, "It’s indeed very heavy... But with this weapon, like the kind of monster we encountered before, it might be useful."

"Definitely!"

Sha Sha nodded, "This thing is very powerful, and it has a very long range. I’ve seen it on TV before. A single shot can pierce through a car, biubiu~"

"Sister Chen, this is the trigger, and the safety is here."

"Hmm, okay."

"This is the bipod. A big guy like this usually requires a bipod, unless you’re very strong, you won’t be able to shoot accurately in a prone position without support..."

"What is ’without support’?"

"It means holding it up without any support. This is very heavy, you probably can’t manage it. Also, this is an M3 optical 10x super scope, you can see very far. Sister Chen, first set the gun up properly and give it a try. Oh right, this kind of gun tends to have quite a kick when you shoot, so pay attention to your posture."

"Okay!"

As if her drowsiness had vanished, Chen Sixuan, with Sha Sha’s help, began to earnestly learn about the gun accessories and the principles of aim.

Thump thump~

Suddenly, a sound was heard, and the two immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Sister Chen!"

Sha Sha whispered.

"That sound seems to be coming from outside."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sixuan frowned and hastily gestured for silence. They then tiptoed to the window and lifted a blackout panel.

A flashlight’s beam suddenly flickered beside the vehicle.

Chen Sixuan was immediately surprised and covered her mouth.

There are people outside!

Whoosh whoosh~

In the dark night, the snowstorm intensified, and the entire train had turned off its lights.

Chen Sixuan and Sha Sha stood inside Carriage #1, peering anxiously outside.

"There seems to be more than one person," Sha Sha whispered. "Sister Chen, our car might be targeted."

Chen Sixuan looked uneasy, "This route leads to Daluo Mountain and Yu Bei City, it’s a major thoroughfare, not far from the highway. It’s possible someone saw this train stopped here and decided to investigate."

"What should we do then, do we respond?" Sha Sha asked.

"Have you encountered this situation before?"

"Previously... when my brother and I were driving, we’d also encounter other teams. But most would keep to themselves. Sometimes, friendlier ones would interact during the day or group their vehicles together at night. But with our current situation, others might just be more curious..."

Chen Sixuan shook her head, "Let’s wait and see. It’s already night outside, and it’s very dangerous. If it’s just other survivors coming to look around, they’ll probably just take a quick look and leave. But if they have ill intentions, we need to be careful."

Sha Sha nodded her agreement,

"Yes, Brother Lin has already upgraded the armor, so we should be quite safe..."

Chen Sixuan nodded, then suddenly thought of something, pulled Sha Sha over, and whispered in her ear,

"Go remind your brother to be on alert behind us. We still have two cars on our trailer."

"Right, oh."

Sha Sha’s eyes widened; losing those two cars that were sitting openly on the trailer would be a significant loss.

Realizing this, she immediately crouched low and scurried toward the back.

Meanwhile, Chen Sixuan went to the driver’s cabin and peered out through the porthole. The night was as dark as ink, and rustling noises came from the tracks. It seemed there were several footsteps outside the train. As the footsteps approached, Chen Sixuan immediately retreated, hiding in the shadow of the corridor.

Bang bang~

At this moment, someone began to climb onto the locomotive, and immediately a beam of flashlight shone in, probing the inside.

"Hey, seems like there’s no one?" a man whispered.

"Could they be sleeping in other carriages?" another person said.

"Be careful, this entire train is armored; it’s definitely not an ordinary train."

"You stay here and keep watch, I’ll go make contact."

"Okay..."

...

In the shadows, Chen Sixuan tightly covered her mouth. As the flashlight didn’t shine her way, she stealthily moved to Car 1, picked up the walkie-talkie, and hid in a corner.

"Sha Sha, there’s quite a few of them, be careful."

"Alright, if they try to do something, we’ll fire a warning shot."

"Yes, to intimidate them first, show that we’re armed on the train. If they’re just an average group of survivors, they might be scared away."

"Sister Chen, those people are watching us without moving; who knows what they’re plotting. If a fight really does break out, do you think we should drive the train away?"

Sha Sha voiced her concern over the walkie-talkie.

Chen Sixuan’s expression grew troubled; she certainly recognized the precariousness of their situation.

The train’s lights out, snow piled on the roof; this could unintentionally signal something bad to others.

"Definitely not, Lin Xian hasn’t returned yet..."

Her gaze turned towards the back at this moment, the radio was still quietly sitting on the couch.

Her subconscious told her Lin Xian was still on the train; if she drove the train away now, she didn’t know what trouble that might cause for Lin Xian.

"That’s true, Brother Lin... Hey, Sister Chen, listen."

As soon as she finished speaking, both women suddenly heard an extremely faint noise from Car 3 to Car 2.

The sound came from inside the carriage.

For some reason, hearing this noise made Chen Sixuan feel both anxious and relieved; both she and Sha Sha thought it might be Lin Xian’s sound, which also meant Lin Xian was still alive!

Bang bang bang!

But just then, shots rang out from Car 5.

Building was using a machine gun to fire through a shooting hole next to the rear platform, as he had noticed several people sneaking around to the back of the train at some point. They had climbed onto their flatbed trailer and started to untie the steel chains binding the cars.

The machine gun fire echoed instantly through the valley, a stream of metal bullets hitting the side of the flatbed and the snowy ground, throwing up a mix of sparks and snow.

The sneaking scouts were instantly terrified and ran for cover, one unlucky one got shot through the shoulder, blood splattered on the ground and he screamed in pain!

The gunfire suddenly deterred the petty criminals in the night, and that group quickly vanished into the darkness.

Arghhh!!

The loud gunfire attracted many zombies as they howled and quickly ran towards this location from the woods.

"They’ve climbed onto the train!"

Sha Sha took up her Grenade Gun and spoke to Chen Sixuan over the walkie-talkie, "Sister Chen, be careful of your safety."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Hearing Sha Sha’s words, Chen Sixuan’s brow furrowed, but now she could only focus on the inside of the carriage, observing for any clues that might be from Lin Xian.

She didn’t turn on the light but began to pay close attention to the sounds inside the carriage.

Suddenly, all the lights on the train turned on, and Chen Sixuan jumped in surprise. As she looked at the lights above her, a bit of confusion crossed her mind.

With a certain guess, she walked over to the light control panel.

Click.

And turned off the lights again.
