Chapter 177 Rain Town
Chapter 177 Rain Town (Monthly ticket plus update, thank you!)
Da da da! !
The sound of gunfire from the rear carriage was deafening, and the monsters' roars and attacks on the train's armor plates never stopped.
Lin Xian was extremely anxious. At this moment, the view in front of the train gradually became wider, and a platform with many tank cars parked and the outline of an industrial town in the distance appeared in sight.
"Rain Town Station?"
Chen Sixuan nervously checked the driving computer: "This branch line is connected to the main track of the ring star. We should be able to get back to the track if we go forward."
"no!"
Lin Xian stared ahead. On the track, there was a tanker car blocking the Infinity.
He immediately felt something was wrong and immediately controlled the entire train to brake suddenly.
squeak!
All the iron wheels stopped turning, sparks flew on the tracks, the rails turned red, and everyone in the carriage was unable to stand steadily due to inertia, and screams were heard.
As the brakes were applied, filth fell from the roof to the ground, and the hot iron smell of the wheels mixed with a fishy odor began to spread.
"How to do?"
"Back off! Rush out!" Lin Xian gritted his teeth and was about to move backwards in desperation.
But at this time, a strange scene appeared. The sound of the attack at the back of the car suddenly stopped, and the gunshots gradually stopped. Just when everyone did not react, KIKI discovered the clues through the monitoring system.
"Lin Xian, it seems that those monsters haven't caught up with us."
"what happened?"
"Shuqin."
"Captain Lin, those strange creatures are gone." Shuqin's voice came from the communicator: "I checked, the rear compartment is intact, there is no damage."
"The middle section is also fine." Building also said in the communicator.
In carriage No. 2, KIKI checked through the sentry system. Although the armor outside the carriage and the roof were in a mess, the integrity of the armor was not damaged. There were just many pieces of insect corpses and flesh stuffed in the gaps.
When Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan heard Shu Qin's words, they looked at each other. He immediately stood up and ran to carriage No. 2. Sure enough, according to the sentry system, there were no monsters outside the Infinity.
Chi~
Arriving at carriage No. 5 again, Lin Xian opened the door and a strong fishy smell came in. There were some monster remains hanging on the top of the carriage, but there was no movement outside, so he closed the door again and said to KIKI:
"Girl, use the drone to check it out."
"Right on my mind."
KIKI knew that Lin Xian was very cautious, so she immediately launched two drones and began to inspect the entire train in the dark.
From the drone's perspective, there was a tragic scene outside the Infinity carriage at this time, but fortunately the defense inside was not breached.
When the drone raised the camera angle, Lin Xian immediately saw a large number of black shadows quickly disappearing into the old forest on the side of the road in the distance at the fork in the road.
"What's going on?!" Shasha, who was standing nearby, said in surprise, "Brother Lin, it seems that the monsters can't get in."
Can’t come in?
When Lin Xian heard this, he was a little confused.
KIKI looked at this scene, frowned slightly, pointed at the screen and said
"Yes, Lin Xian, why does it seem like there is some kind of... barrier here?"
"Yu Town is not a famous place. There are many chemical factories here." Chen Sixuan said at this time: "Could it be that there was a leak in a chemical factory that caused those monsters to be afraid to approach?"
Lin Xian shook his head, stood up and opened the sunshade, looking at the empty freight platform outside with a solemn expression.
"There must be something wrong. Girl, use the drone to scout the road ahead and see how long the car blocking the track is. All of us should stay in the car and observe this place."
"Shuqin, is anyone injured back there?"
"Captain Lin, everyone is safe, nothing has happened." Shuqin's voice came, and Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Just after nightfall, he encountered a series of situations that made Lin Xian tense.
He was still racking his brains over how to escape from the suffocating tide of strange insects, but suddenly he entered this spooky town. The strangest thing was that he felt safe after arriving at this place.
This kind of situation was something Lin Xian had never encountered before.
Because that was not a steel wall, Lin Xian thought, could there be something that could block those monsters invisibly?
Lin Xian walked all the way from carriage No. 1 to carriage No. 12 and checked. Although the interior of the carriage was filled with the smell of gunpowder and anxiety, fortunately, no one was in trouble. Many people in the living area were also confused at this time, while others were glad to have escaped.
"Wow, if we stay in the car tonight, we will be doomed. There are so many monsters."
"That's right, I was scared to death..."
"Captain Lin, are you okay?" In the living area, the little girl Miao Lu saw Lin Xian coming over and stood up and asked enthusiastically.
Lin Xian said, "I'm fine. When we entered the station just now, did those monsters suddenly run away?"
Miao Lu shook her head: "I didn't pay much attention. It seemed that all of a sudden, the monster retreated and there was no movement at all."
"Yes." Shuqin also came over at this time: "It's very strange, I have never encountered such a situation before."
Lin Xian nodded: "Okay, everyone cheer up, the situation like the one just now with so many monsters may happen again, so be mentally prepared in advance."
The entire car was crawling with strange creatures. Not only Lin Xian, but also Shu Qin and the others were caught off guard. If it weren't for the heavy armor, the dozens of people in the car would have become food for the monsters.
Lin Xian carefully checked the integrity of each carriage along the way, and repaired some fasteners by the way.
When he arrived at carriage No. 3, he was stopped by Ding Junyi.
Ding Junyi pointed at the No. 1 blood disaster plant with a serious expression, took a deep breath and said, "I have been paying close attention to it. Just now, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum changed."
Lin Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried over, frowned and looked at the black chrysanthemum, and immediately asked: "Is the red light... a little dimmer?"
"Yes."
Ding Junyi nodded and said, “Not only that, during the fight just now, I saw a wisp of black smoke being sucked in by it, and then its red light weakened a lot.”
"Black smoke..." Lin Xian frowned: "This kind of smoke appeared when we killed the strange body before."
"So we should have killed some strange creatures in the process just now." Ding Junyi said.
"What does this mean?" Lin Xian asked.
Ding Junyi crossed her arms and said, "The appearance of the strange blood essence is also accompanied by that kind of black smoke. According to this logic, the disaster plant should have the ability to absorb the power of this black smoke."
"That makes sense." Lin Xian nodded with a gloomy expression: "But we don't know what this does, or what it means."
"We can't monitor this kind of change in the lab," Ding Junyi said. "So now we at least know some of its characteristics. If you have time, please kill a few more, or catch a few weird bodies, so I can test the degree of change in the plant caused by the black smoke produced after the death of the weird body, or the distance factor it can absorb, etc. The more experiments we do, the sooner we can know the results."
Lin Xian was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
He thought he had heard it wrong and pointed at his face.
"Catch a few weird bodies, what are you talking about me?"
Ding Junyi tilted her head slightly, her eyes under the black-framed glasses looking very serious: "Yes, from a scientific point of view, the conclusions drawn from more experimental controls will be relatively accurate."
Is this sister speaking human language?
"Forget about catching it. If more monsters die near the train later, you can observe them." Lin Xian walked away speechlessly. Although he knew what Ding Junyi meant, he was not in the mood to argue about the experiment at this moment.
Capture a strange body? Who would do such a stupid thing? Impossible, impossible in this life.
Lin Xian said this hatefully in his heart.
