Armored train in the apocalypse

Chapter 167 Sleepwalking
With the train conductor's departure, the barbecue came to a complete end.

He Jie dragged the unconscious Qu Hang back to his own carriage, and Professor Ma and the others also dispersed.

Lin Xi walked barefoot on the carpet in the dining car aisle, her silver hair shimmering under the night lights. She clutched a fluffy down pillow tightly in her arms, the pillowcase still carrying the faint scent of pine from the train's disinfectant.

Yu Yue was bending over to organize the spice jars in the cabinet, her waistline outlining a gentle curve.

Suddenly, she felt her hem being gently tugged. Turning around, she was met with a pair of light gray eyes. Lin Xi was looking up, her ear tips peeking out from her hair, tinged with pink, like a kitten offering a gift.

"Here, take this." Lin Xi stuffed the pillow into her arms, the wrinkled surface still bearing the warm indentations from her body heat.

Her fingertips subtly hooked onto Yu Yue's apron tie, her eyelashes casting uneasy shadows beneath her eyes. "You told me... a bedtime story."

Yu Yue chuckled as the pillow was shoved into her head.

Lin Xi looks just like Xiao Jing when she was little, but Xiao Jing no longer depends on her when she was her age.

She really liked this little girl; she was well-behaved and lovable.

but……

Yu Yue glanced at carriage number 1 subconsciously, feeling somewhat hesitant.

"Not today?"

Lin Xi asked with a hint of disappointment.

Thinking that the girl only had four years to live, Yu Yue felt a pang of pity. She stroked the girl's soft silver hair and said softly, "How about I tell you a story when Auntie is done with her work?"

The girl turned her head and called out softly, "Brother."

Lin Jin, who was cleaning up the oven, came running over excitedly. "What's wrong, Xiao Xi?"

"I want to sleep with Aunt Yu."

"what?"

Lin Jin looked at Yu Yue somewhat awkwardly.

"Aunt Yu agreed, but she has a lot of work to do..."

"Oh, no problem, you can go and rest, I'll take care of the dining car."

Lin Jin readily agreed, patting his chest as he did so.

Yu Yue felt a little strange, but since things had come to this point, she could only wipe her hands and say apologetically, "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's me who's troubling you."

Lin Jin scratched his head and laughed heartily.

Yu Yue led the girl to her room. Seeing that it was completely dark inside, she knew that Xiao Jing must have been working all night again, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She felt a strange sense of guilt, as if she had brought back another daughter on her back.

Lin Xi walked in, and before she could even open her mouth, she accurately found her bed.

"Aunt Yu's bed is so soft."

Lin Xi patted the pillow on her spacious bed, lifted the blanket, and curled up in bed herself, only showing half of her face.

The vibrations from the train rolling over the tracks came through, and she shrank back against the wall. The empty space seemed to have been carefully measured, just enough for a gentle older sister to lie down.

Yu Yue tidied herself up quickly, changed into her pajamas, and then lay down.

Whispering voices, one loud and one soft, came from under the covers.

……

The acid rain outside the car had stopped sometime earlier.

As Lin Xi's breathing gradually became even and long, Yu Yue gently tucked the blanket around her.

Moonlight seeped in through the cracks in the car window, casting a hazy, frosty glow on the girl's silver hair. Her fingertips brushed against Lin Xi's slightly furrowed brow, and that unease melted away like melting snow.

The bedside digital clock ticked to 01:47, and Yu Yue silently slipped out of bed.

Looking at the girl on the bed, Yu Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally pulled her coat tighter and walked towards the connecting area between the carriages.

The train swayed and rocked, as if it were going through a sharp bend.

Just as she disappeared behind the door of carriage number 1.

The girl on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze blank, and followed Yu Yue in the direction she was going.

……

Su Huan originally intended to talk about the plan, but seeing that everyone was in good spirits, he didn't say much, and only explained the next route to Liang Kuan.

The headquarters of the Steel Council is located in the lower left corner of Cheongcheon Province, near the southwest. Leaving the industrial area, the train headed north.

Wangjiang Peak in Guangren City is located directly north of Qingchuan, which is in the upper-middle part of the province.

However, Su Huan did not intend to go directly there.

In the central part of Qingchuan Province, many survivors and large companies later established settlements and cities, which should now be just a survivor camp and a small black market for trading.

The train is still missing a lot of materials for its next phase of renovation, so he plans to go there to take a look first.

So you need to turn east first.

After passing the black market, head north to Wangjiang Peak.

Having sorted out his thoughts, and with the slight intoxication of the alcohol, the train conductor gradually became sleepy.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, I suddenly felt the mattress sink silently.

A soft, warm body, smelling of pine, suddenly snuggled into his arms, and he instinctively wanted to hug it back.

"Ok?"

The movement of turning over suddenly froze.

The mattress has sagged again!

Su Huan's muddled mind went blank for a moment.

The system crashed due to the large amount of information.

A slightly cool body was creeping in from under the covers.

Her long hair, damp with night dew, brushed against his calves, and her soft, delicate body, like a piece of tofu, nestled precisely into the crook of his other arm.

Yu Jing?

Yu Yue?!
Su Huan's narrow eyes were wide open, filled with a look of astonishment.

I subconsciously touched the left side where the person had come in first.

The slender waistline beneath the cotton pajamas felt familiar, and the skin beneath his palms was like melted butter, rising and falling between his fingers with each breath.

Yu Yue snuggled sleepily against his shoulder, the scent of shampoo in her hair fresh and pleasant. Unconsciously, she grabbed the fabric of Su Huan's shirt at his chest and pressed her knees against his thighs. Because she wasn't using her powers while she was with him, she didn't notice that there was another person in the bed.

But Su Huan was completely energized.

There's no problem on the left.

It's definitely Yu Yue.

What about the one on the right?!

I instinctively explored it... Ouch!

wrong!

It was definitely not Yu Jing, not to mention that she had no reason to be in his bed at the same time as Yu Yue.

He knew her well; Yu Jing was the firmer, more toned type, and her body was also slender.

This skinny yet smooth texture...

Could it be bean sprouts?!
As the train vibrated as it passed over the switch, Su Huan clearly felt two completely different body temperatures.

He glanced down in the dim moonlight and was completely stunned by a glint of silver light.

The girl slept peacefully and quietly, like a cat with its claws tucked in.

The two thin straps of his slip dress slipped down, revealing his skin, which shimmered like pearls in the moonlight, and his deep eyes.

What is this girl here for?

Just because he saved her life, he offered himself up as a concubine?

Nonsense.

Treat this as a storybook.

Su Huan frowned; something seemed to have happened in the car that he didn't know about.

This feeling of losing absolute control made him very uncomfortable.

Yu Yue, who was standing to the side, felt that the train conductor was unusually honest today. She was a little suspicious, so she gently stroked his brow, offering a subtle reassurance.

Seeing that he wasn't moving, drowsiness overcame her, her eyes gradually drooped, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
