Chapter 81
Yu Qingxian watched the train slowly passing under the bridge, unaware of who was on board.
But she could be certain they were people she couldn't afford to provoke.
Yu Qingxian paid no more attention to the train, instead urging her Tyrannosaurus Rex to keep walking.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex naturally obeyed.
Seeing it so obedient, Yu Qingxian wondered if it could actually understand her words.
Truly remarkable.
Originally, she had planned to release the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
In this world, a Tyrannosaurus Rex this formidable would certainly face no threat to its life.
But earlier, she had told a zombie that the Tyrannosaurus Rex was her dog.
Having said those words, it would be awkward to take them back now.
And in the Tyrannosaurus Rex's heart, if she were to abandon it, it might feel that she had deserted it.
Yu Qingxian could easily discard a person, abandoning friendship or love.
Yet she found it difficult to part with little dogs or cats.
Meanwhile, on the train...
"Captain, I think I saw someone on the bridge we just passed, but I'm not sure if it was a human or a zombie," a young man said to a man sitting at the bar, drinking.
Next to him sat a very beautiful woman, Elder Brother Xin's girlfriend.
The young man didn't look at the two of them, keeping his eyes on the carpet.
"You couldn't tell if it was a human or a zombie? These days, who would dare to wander alone? If there really was someone, I'd love to meet this person," the man said, slamming his glass down on the table with a loud thud.
The impact caused a few drops of liquor to splash out onto the table.
The woman named Rou, seeing that Elder Brother Xin wanted to meet this person, reached out and touched his arm.
"You want someone else to join us as a brother again? Leave others be, not everyone wants to board our train," she said in her sweet voice.
After saying this, she instructed the young man to stop the train and check it out.
So the young man immediately brought the train to a halt.
Seeing his girlfriend's reaction, Elder Brother Xin couldn't help but remark, "Rou, you don't understand. In this world, we need to gather manpower. Our train may have been modified, but with so many people on board, we consume a lot of food and supplies. Anyone who can walk alone in this apocalypse must be a formidable person."
"But if they're formidable, why would they work under you? Brother Xin, we need to be cautious," Rou shook her head. Although what Elder Brother Xin said was true, not only their train had superhumans.
Elder Brother Xin's supernatural ability was already considered high-level, but what if they encountered an even stronger superhuman?
After walking about a kilometer parallel to the railroad tracks, Yu Qingxian began to wonder why she couldn't hear the train anymore.
But she didn't bother stopping the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The highway and railroad were separated by ten-plus meters and a tall iron fence, erected many years ago after someone had committed suicide on those tracks by lying on the rails.
Surveillance cameras also monitored this stretch of road.
Yu Qingxian didn't dare open her suitcase to retrieve her camera, as she had warmed it using a fire and wrapped it in insulating foil before covering it with a down jacket.
Of course, she didn't know if the camera would withstand the cold.
As for her phone, Yu Qingxian found it was quite cold-resistant, able to run smoothly even in subzero temperatures.
It made her feel that the phone repair shop owner had some skills, and giving him just two boxes of medicine had shortchanged him.
She should have given him at least a whole case's worth.
As Yu Qingxian pondered this, she heard the train's sound again, approaching from behind her at a distance of less than two kilometers.
In just a few seconds, it caught up to her.
While the people on the train couldn't make out Yu Qingxian clearly, she had a clear view of a man and woman through the window, exchanging glances with them for a moment.
Of course, it might have been just Yu Qingxian glancing at them unilaterally.
Fearing they would stop the train again, Yu Qingxian urged the Tyrannosaurus Rex to speed up.
A few kilometers ahead, the highway and railroad would diverge.
Heeding Yu Qingxian's command, the Tyrannosaurus Rex broke into an exuberant run.
Its speed felt no slower than a small car traveling on the highway.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was indeed swift.
Elder Brother Xin and Rou on the train were intrigued by the fleeting glimpse of the large white dog and sled.
"I think I just made eye contact with the person on the sled," Rou remarked.
Though the distance was great, she felt the other person had met her gaze.
"I had that feeling too. Seems like a formidable one," Elder Brother Xin raised an eyebrow, realizing the other party must not be worried about zombies at all.
And that large white dog was a superhuman beast.
"Chief, should we stop the train again?" the young man approached again.
"No need. Let's go. If that person really wanted a ride, they would have flagged us down. But clearly, they didn't," Elder Brother Xin heeded Rou's words.
Especially after that powerful mutated zombie died, he had become more wary.
Just who was this person, capable of killing such a formidable zombie?
