49: Chapter 49 An Uninvited Guest, a Beautiful Young Woman?

After a brief moment of chaos, the point-farming plan got back on track.

Lin Xiao shuttled back and forth between both ends of the carriage.

Whenever the monster killing slowed down on one side, he would step forward and swing his battle axe to speed things up.

Whenever a Fissioner appeared, he would personally step in to eliminate it.

He led the entire temporary team to operate efficiently, and their points soared.

The names of Jiang Wanwan and Wen Yiran soon appeared in the top twenty of the leaderboard.

Mind you, neither of them had killed a single zombie in the early stages.

At this moment, a few passengers arrived from the direction of Carriage 4.

Leading them was a young woman with a lovely face.

The temperature inside the carriage was somewhat low; she wore a short down jacket on her upper body, but only a white miniskirt below.

Her pair of smooth, slender legs were exposed to the air, drawing many people's gazes.

She was followed by four or five people holding crude weapons, their faces plastered with smiles.

"Big brothers!"

Xu Qinglan waved and shouted, her tone warm and overly familiar.

"We are passengers from Carriage 4. Seeing how you're all fighting so intensely here, we want to come over and contribute!"

Fang Yuan had just finished clearing the newly spawned zombies and hadn't even had time to wipe his sweat when he heard commotion from the front corridor.

He looked up and, seeing that it was people from Carriage 4 coming to help, was a bit surprised but didn't think much of it.

He waved his hand and said, "Sure, you've come at the right time. Help us herd the zombies together."

Seeing Xu Qinglan's attire, he added a special warning: "Be careful, don't let the tentacles poke you!"

"You got it!"

Xu Qinglan agreed readily and immediately led her people into the fray.

Despite looking like a delicate girl, her movements while fighting zombies were surprisingly agile.

At this moment, Lin Xiao happened to walk over from the other side.

Seeing the newly joined passengers from afar, his expression turned cold.

He cast a scrutinizing gaze that lingered on Xu Qinglan's face for a moment.

The woman's smile was poised, but the moment her eyes met his, she instinctively looked away.

That was not the reaction of someone who simply wanted to help!

"Big Brother Lin! We're here to help!"

Xu Qinglan walked up naturally, grabbed Lin Xiao's arm, and smiled brilliantly, "Zombies are everyone's enemy. More people means more strength!"

Fan Sinian, on the other end of Carriage 5, heard the commotion from afar and quickly poked his head out to check, not forgetting to shove his teammates who wanted to join in the fun.

"What are you looking at? Keep farming monsters for me!"

He said it nicely, but his eyes never left the gap between the girl's legs, "Tsk tsk tsk, top-tier, this is top-tier..."

"Damn, Brother Nian, you're too unprincipled!"

"Exactly, exactly! I curse you to never find toilet paper when you need to go! May all the movies you download always be pixelated!"

The two lackeys beside him gritted their teeth in anger, but before they could finish, each received a flick to the forehead.

"Screw you guys! If you don't honestly kill zombies, believe it or not, I'll stab your asses with my spear!"

Fan Sinian had originally wanted to use more descriptive language, but upon remembering that Jiang Wanwan was nearby, he immediately changed his phrasing.

Amidst the banter, the girl's movements became a bit more intimate.

She whispered something, then couldn't stop swaying her hips, practically wanting to wrap her legs around Lin Xiao's waist.

Seeing this, Fan Sinian let out a series of strange "Ooh-ooh-ooh" sounds.

Then he put on an expression of someone watching juicy gossip.

"Look, she's about to hug him!"

"Sigh, Brother Lin is truly blessed..."

"Honestly, if I had Brother Lin's looks and physique, tsk, I could die without regrets!"

As he spoke, a large iron helmet suddenly appeared in his field of view.

Fan Sinian, having his view blocked, was about to start cursing, but he immediately realized what was happening.

Oh crap, the Queen has arrived!

Watching the cold mist emanating from Jiang Wanwan's palms, his scalp instantly went numb.

He hurriedly led his teammates to turn back and guard the passageway, pretending he didn't know anything.

In the corridor, Xu Qinglan was clinging to Lin Xiao, tugging at his sleeve and refusing to let go.

"Brother Lin~ Brother Lin~"

"Are there any empty rooms in Carriage 7?"

"I want to move over with my teammates. There are too few people in Carriage 4, I don't feel safe..."

Xu Qinglan swayed her body; her beige tight sweater could barely contain her burning ambition.

Swaying like this, it felt as though everything was about to burst out.

But Lin Xiao remained unmoved.

He had seen countless people and had a sharp intuition for such subtle abnormalities in human nature.

He wouldn't just open the gate and let a strange woman in because of a little bit of beauty.

Lin Xiao shook the battle axe in his hand.

He replied indifferently: "I'm busy!"

The cold chill gradually spreading in his eyes forced Xu Qinglan to tactfully let go of his hand.

Lin Xiao turned and continued walking forward, but at the same time, he sent a private message to each of the team captains:

【 Car 07-01: Keep an eye on that Xu Qinglan and the people she brought; something is off 】

Soon, everyone sent back clear replies.

Just as he was about to close the private message interface, Jiang Wanwan's chat box lit up.

There was no text, just a series of "knocking" emojis.

She hadn't reacted this strongly when he interacted with Wen Yiran before.

Well, that made sense; women understand women best.

Speaking of Wen Yiran.

Lin Xiao closed the private message interface and looked up, just in time to see the girl hugging her arms and staring at him silently.

Noticing him looking over, Wen Yiran opened her mouth and said six words.

Judging by the lip movement, it was probably "Bad woman, rotten crotch!"

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment.

He walked over, carrying his axe.

"Still staring! Go farm points quickly. If you don't make it onto the leaderboard, I will definitely punish you well tonight!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed her smooth chestnut ponytail.

"By then, not even Wanwan will be able to save you..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong..." Wen Yiran's body stiffened, and she hurriedly raised her crossbow and joined the battle, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

...

Xu Qinglan, seeing she couldn't find a weakness in Lin Xiao, quietly drifted to the other side of the carriage.

She was indeed skilled at socializing.

While using the weapon in her hand to strike the zombies lured to the edge of the defense line.

She chatted with passengers from Carriage 5 and Carriage 8 beside her, her smile natural and her tone warm, quickly blending into the crowd.

As if she had been one of them all along.

Just then, Xu Qinglan caught a glimpse of a fully armed girl at the edge of the crowd, silently swinging a golf club.

The information appearing in her field of view made her eyes light up.

Jiang Wanwan!

Xu Qinglan adjusted her expression, put on a friendly smile, and approached her.

"Wanwan!"

Her voice was also deliberately softened.

"Wow, your gear is so complete! You have protection from head to toe, and even earrings and a necklace!"

Her gaze went up and down, carefully examining every piece of protective gear and accessory on the other, her tone mixed with just the right amount of envy and melancholy.

"I'm so envious of you. Unlike me, I have nothing and no one to take care of me."

Jiang Wanwan didn't turn around, but the force of her swing increased by thirty percent.

With a "bang," a low-health Gluttons stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Is there something you need?"

Her voice was calm, with no detectable emotion.

This plain question made Xu Qinglan suddenly clutch her chest, a ripple of grievance quickly rising in her eyes.

"Wanwan, you're so fierce. I was just envious of you, I didn't mean anything else!"

She lowered her eyes, her voice even lower, but ensured that the people around could hear.

"I guess you're right. All of our gear combined probably isn't as good as what you're wearing."

She paused, as if talking to herself, or perhaps to everyone: "Sigh, things on the trading channel are ridiculously expensive now. Passengers like us, with no strength and no support, how could we ever afford them..."

Jiang Wanwan finally turned her head and glanced at Xu Qinglan.
