Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
Lin Tongtong arrived at twelve o'clock.
She had only tapped on the door twice when Ming Chu pulled it open.
Li Xian also climbed out of bed on tiptoe, pointed toward the bathroom, and the three of them crept toward it.
The bathroom was at the very back, on the edge of the balcony. Once the door was closed, Lin Tongtong took out a small flashlight the size of a finger. She turned it to the lowest setting, providing just enough soft light to see each other's faces without being so bright that it would alert anyone outside.
Before Ming Chu or Li Xian could ask, she pulled a diary out from inside her clothes.
The palm-sized diary wasn't thick, but when opened, the pages were densely packed with writing.
May 1st, Sunny.
Today was my first day on the job, and I didn't expect to run into a 'Madman' on day one. Although my training was excellent, Madmen have special methods, and I was almost hurt by one.
It was the Captain who saved me.
After capturing the Madman, I heard the Captain say: 'The intruder has been captured; send them to the Outside World.'
I was curious and asked why they called the Madman an 'intruder.' The Captain's gaze was cold, and he told me to go look through the archives myself.
Sigh, I didn't expect that becoming a Special Police officer would still involve reading books.
But seeing the Captain's arm injured from saving me, I didn't want that to happen again, so I decided to put in the effort.

May 7th, Rainy.
Someone reported a Madman, but when I rushed over, I realized it was just a misunderstanding.
I told myself, how could Madmen appear so easily? I've checked a lot of materials and actually learned quite a bit. For example, Madmen appear in groups; once one appears, it means there are many more hiding in the shadows.
Fine, even though I've read a lot, I still don't want to write the words 'intruder' for now, because that's a secret in the archives and isn't public. If I accidentally leaked it, wouldn't I get disciplined?

May 17th, Heavy Fog.
I ran into a Madman on my way home.
I already know the characteristics of Madmen: a lack of common sense, especially very little knowledge of history. At the same time, they might possess superior physical fitness that is hard for ordinary people to reach, and some Madmen can even conjure things like fire or water out of thin air.
But I was lucky. The Madman I encountered wasn't very strong in combat, and with my skills—which consistently ranked in the top twenty at the Special Police Academy—I subdued him easily.
I received my first bonus.
