Chapter 468: Chapter 275: Train Upgrade on a Snowy Night (10,000-Word Special!) (Part 2)

"Actually, I’d still like to ask you—about what you said earlier regarding Jin Hai, is it true, or were you just bluffing me?" Lin Xian asked.

Whoosh~

KIKI leaned back, resting directly on Lin Xian’s knee. With a playful glint in her eyes visible through the dim light, she looked at him and said, "What do you think?"

Lin Xian reached out to place his hand under KIKI’s head, letting her rest more comfortably, and then said,

"I always thought about saying, your family is so rich, shouldn’t we team up at Jin Hai to make a profit and enhance our train? Maybe get some high-tech equipment; I suppose you wouldn’t mind, right..."

"What for, to be a robber couple?"

KIKI reflexively retorted, but immediately felt an awkwardness in her words, and quickly mumbled to change the subject,

"What I meant was, why would I rob my own family’s money..."

Lin Xian chuckled as he heard this, "You were so excited about using your status as your father’s heir to accompany me in stealing the starry sky thruster from Underground City No. 9."

"Oh, well..."

KIKI was momentarily speechless, then sank into silence without speaking again.

"Lin Xian."

"Mm."

"I’m a bit cold," KIKI said as she huddled closer to Lin Xian’s embrace.

Lin Xian took a deep breath and remained silent, pulling her tighter into his arms.

"Lin Xian."

"Mm."

"Let’s rob my family’s money together."

"..."

In the darkness, Lin Xian felt the gentle breath from her nose brush against his face. He lowered his head, unable to see her face clearly in the dark, but he could somehow feel KIKI’s beautiful eyes looking at him with a bright shimmer.

"Okay."

Lin Xian agreed.

In the next moment, a pair of soft, small hands suddenly wrapped around his neck, a warm breath brushed against him, and a pair of tender lips touched his.

Lin Xian’s heart grew warm, and without saying anything, he lowered his head to kiss this girl.

In the darkness, no sound was heard.

KIKI’s kiss was quite contrary to her fiery personality—serious, cautious, with a bashful taste, fresh and captivating.

In the darkness, as neither could see the other, they could only feel each other’s breath. This inexplicably created a secretive, sneaky, inexplicable sensation of excitement that made Lin Xian forget the time.

Lin Xian suddenly felt a pang of guilt, unsure of how long they’d been kissing. Until a sudden light screen popped up, the arc melting furnace below disappeared into floating ash, making Lin Xian almost slip.

As they kissed passionately, the feeling of weightlessness suddenly broke their connection.

"Oh!" The young lady exclaimed, frantically activated her superpower to lift both of them upwards so they wouldn’t fall to the ground.

"That was close."

After landing, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, you should be more careful,"

In the pitch-black, KIKI responded with a flustered tone, seemingly in denial of what just happened.

Click~.

Lin Xian turned on a flashlight, and KIKI immediately dodged its beam, hiding in the dark while pointing with her finger, "Hey, weren’t you going to work on that machine?"

"Right."

Knowing how thin-skinned this girl was, Lin Xian didn’t expose her embarrassment and quickly got to work on the fully automatic shell stamping machine.

This machine was less complex than the six-axis mechanical arm, and Lin Xian completed the blueprint scan and devouring in less than an hour. By this time, his decomposition center already had plenty of stock materials, along with some high-grade metals.

Once everything was sorted out, the two immediately flew towards the western side of the city.

The western track freight station, howling with wind and snow.

Dragon Mountain No.1, parked on the tracks, covered with snow. Lining up the thousand-meter carriages illuminated with soft yellow lights, silhouettes inside are bustling.

Team members chatted casually while enjoying distributed meals, mothers arranged fresh bedding, men held tools repairing household items, and children played freely in the corridor.

The older soldiers instructed the teenagers on weapon knowledge, the scent of hot soup from the dining car made everyone forget the cold of the winter night.

After a day of rest, Dragon Mountain No.1’s crew experienced their first peaceful evening in Xilan City, with a positive and relaxed atmosphere inside the carriages.

Lots of people exchanged useful and novel items; laughter and cheer filled the compartments.

Over on Infinity, the living and dining carriages were equally bustling. The standard supplies from the Phoenix Society were far richer than regular canned goods and biscuits.

Lin Xian and KIKI returned to the train just as the hot soup was freshly cooked, filling the carriage with a tantalizing aroma.

Canned fish, braised pork, beef stew, spiced beef, ham, and chicken cans, along with compressed biscuits in flavors like green onion and peanut.

There were also self-heating meals needing hot water, which Chen Sixuan and Xiao Yuan used to cook hearty dishes.

Other items included chocolate, hard candies, and even stress-relieving gum and cigarettes.

"Look, I got this with a nail clipper~"

Miao Lu excitedly showed off an old-model music player, her face filled with delight. As she turned it on, an old North American song, "Let It Snow," played, instantly lifting the mood in the carriage.
