Chapter 62: Battle on the Roof

On the other side, Lin Xian braved the strong winds on the roof and sped towards the front cars. He knew that Tang Hai had been the station master of North Bay Station and was quite familiar with trains. He figured that the destruction of the railway tracks was definitely a ‘good deed’ he had deliberately done!

Thud, thud, thud!

Lin Xian stepped on the roof all the way. Just as he was about to jump from car 3 to car 2, a white shadow suddenly flashed out from the connection between the cars. The hair on his body stood on end, and without even thinking, he directly condensed an Ice Shield in front of him.

Puff!

A small hole was pierced through. Lin Xian turned around abruptly and was horrified to find a thin claw swiping past his chest, taking a piece of debris with it.

That was close!

“Die!!!”

Tang Hai let out a strange cry, his voice already half-human, half-anomaly. With a wave of his seemingly thin arm, the immense force directly melted the Ice Shield like a hot knife through butter, heading for Lin Xian’s throat.

“You old bastard, you didn’t die cleanly. I’ll help you!”

Lin Xian roared in anger. The thought of this guy driving corpses and creating a hole to bury his entire train, and with KIKI’s life now uncertain, his chest was already burning with rage. He leaned back to avoid the sharp claws while swinging his blade with one hand, accurately hitting Tang Hai’s neck!

Clang!

But who would have thought that the evolved Tang Hai’s skin was now even tougher than that of the giant white monster? His GK03 Electro-Blade, made of Tungsten-Titanium Alloy Type I, actually made a sound of metal clashing when it struck, sending out a flash of sparks. The immense force sent Tang Hai stumbling back.

But he didn’t seem to care about the blade at his throat. With a ferocious grin, his two claws, covered in long black nails, frantically clawed at Lin Xian’s body. As he attacked, he said, “Hahaha… I should thank you! For making me so…”

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Lin Xian didn’t waste any words with him. After retreating, he picked up his automatic rifle and fired a burst at this monster!

Tang Hai hadn’t even finished his opening speech when several bursts of bullets hit his body. The immense kinetic energy sent him rolling on the ground, and several weak spots were shot through, spraying blood.

“Bastard!”

He was extremely fast. After taking a few bullets, he immediately and nimbly climbed to the side of the car, disappearing from sight like a ghost under the cover of night.

Lin Xian was filled with doubt. A body-strengthening type ability user like Dalou would be pierced by bullets, yet this guy’s defense was so strong?

Could it be that he had really evolved?

“Damn it. Not human, not ghost. This must be a bastard that failed to evolve.”

Swish!

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared at Lin Xian’s side. Tang Hai suddenly emerged, extending a hand forward. His five fingers strangely elongated, like whips. Lin Xian’s eyes jumped, and he immediately held his blade horizontally in front of his chest. With a “clang,” the immense force of the fingers sent Lin Xian stumbling back, his hand numb from the shock.

After the failed attack, Tang Hai once again disappeared into the darkness.

What kind of monster is this?! Its fingers can even extend?

Lin Xian stood on the roof of the train. The Infinity was still speeding along, relying on the Circumstellar 7F electric locomotive. The wind on the roof was biting cold. He constantly held his gun, on alert for his surroundings.

Hoo, hoo~

He breathed rapidly, trying to calm himself down, while cursing inwardly.

Whether it was a failed evolution or not, according to KIKI, this thing had only just broken through to the evolved level and was already so powerful. If it reached level three or four, wouldn’t it be able to fly and burrow into the ground?

The Tang Hai just now was almost in a half-human, half-corpse state. His whole body was covered in grayish-white hard skin, with a few strands of degenerated hair remaining on his head. He looked like Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, very strange.

Swoosh!

The sound of something breaking the air rang out again. This time, Lin Xian was prepared. He dodged to the side and aimed his gun directly at the source of the sound, emptying the magazine.

Rat-a-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat!

But who would have thought that Tang Hai was extremely cunning? Knowing that Lin Xian’s gun didn’t have many bullets, he only used his extendable fingers to test him, then hid in the shadows again.

Click~

As expected, the automatic rifle with only 30 rounds quickly ran out of bullets. Lin Xian frowned. At this moment, the sound of something breaking the air suddenly came from the darkness behind him.

“Out of bullets, are you!” At the same time, a cold voice accompanied it.

Clang!

Lin Xian reacted extremely quickly, swinging his blade behind him. He immediately hit Tang Hai’s fingers, making a crisp sound.

The immense force sent Lin Xian staggering, and he almost lost his footing.

At this moment, Tang Hai swaggered out of the shadows and said sinisterly, “Jyejyejye… impressive, right? You should be glad that I hadn’t evolved that night, letting you live one more day. Now, it’s your turn to thank me.”

“Thank your mother!”

Puff, puff, puff!

Lin Xian didn’t waste any words with him. He held his blade horizontally and, raising his hand, fired several wind guns first.

Hmm?

Tang Hai seemed to sense the hidden threat in the air. He tilted his head, dodging one of the wind guns, but took two heavy blows to the chest. The impact sent him stumbling backward.

“Bastard!!!”

Tang Hai cursed in a hoarse, androgynous voice. Only then did he remember that Lin Xian had a way to kill from a distance without a gun. His ten fingernails suddenly extended, gripping the roof like pliers. He charged up his legs and suddenly shot out from his spot, the speed so fast that it left two footprints indented in the steel roof!

Ice Shield!

Seeing the ferocious attack, Lin Xian immediately condensed an Ice Shield.

“Useless! What’s the use of this thing!?”

Bang!

Tang Hai cursed, his whole body turning into an oval-shaped white bullet, directly piercing through the Ice Shield Lin Xian had condensed, giving him no time to escape.

Who would have thought that Lin Xian, behind the Ice Shield, would flash like a ghost, his cold blade disappearing, and then vanish in a cloud of ice shards.

Then!

Swoosh!

A fierce gust of wind, crossing paths with Tang Hai in the air, created a huge sonic boom. Clang!

Flash Step!

“What?!”

Tang Hai let out a strange cry, his momentum undiminished. He rolled out, his four limbs gripping the train roof, leaving countless metal scratches. His expression changed drastically, because he felt… half of his face, along with his ear, was gone.

“Ah!!!”

Tang Hai touched his side face in disbelief. A large amount of bright red blood flowed down, instantly turning his eyes red and sending him into a frenzy.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”

Puff, puff, puff!

Obviously, Lin Xian didn’t like turn-based combat or talking nonsense in a fight. He didn’t give Tang Hai any time to breathe. After a Flash Step, before he even landed, he fired several wind guns.

Bang, bang, bang!

Tang Hai couldn’t dodge. A bloody hole was shot through his chest, and his whole body was sent flying from the roof, landing in a pile of rubble along the road.

“Ahhh!!!”

The enraged Tang Hai had now completely lost his mind. He was in a sorry state, as if he couldn’t feel the pain in his body. Covered in blood, he charged towards the moving train like a wild beast, using both his hands and feet.

Boom!

On the other side, the giant white monster pounced from the roof of car 5 towards Dalou on the flatbed car. Its huge body directly crushed the sleepers under the tracks, almost causing the subsequent cars to derail again.

Dalou took a few steps back, grabbed the broken chains from the car, and swung them fiercely.

The large iron chain was like an iron whip, making a dull “whoosh” sound in the air, and then viciously whipped the giant white monster’s head.

Smack!

The force of the iron whip was immense, directly knocking the monster’s head to the side. A terrifying bloody gash was left on its hard skin.

“Eee-ah!!!!!!!!”

The giant white monster let out a sharp cry and went berserk. Relying on its huge size and long arms, it raised its hand, preparing to directly slap Dalou off the train.

But before the monster could get angry, a strong flame suddenly exploded on its back!

Boom!

It turned out to be Lou Shasha, holding the M36 grenade launcher. The little girl was small but brave. To be able to hit such a monster so accurately, it was clear that she had seen many big scenes on this escape journey.

Dalou took this opportunity, threw the iron chain, and hooked it around the monster’s neck. He then prepared to throw the other end off the tracks, wanting to use the immense inertia of the hundreds-of-tons train moving at high speed to directly tear off the monster’s neck.

But this giant white monster was extremely fast. Before Dalou could act, it grabbed the iron chain and swung its body!

Dalou couldn’t react in time. He was pulled by the chain and thrown out with it. Just as he was about to fall off the train, he gritted his teeth, held the chain tightly with one hand, and used the swinging momentum to swing half a circle in the air, landing directly on the roof of car 5.

“Brother, be careful!!”

Lou Shasha heard a thud on the roof and immediately shouted with a worried expression.

Then she heard footsteps from above and knew that her brother hadn’t been thrown off. She quickly reloaded and prepared to fire again.

The giant white monster tore the iron chain from its neck. Hearing Lou Shasha reloading, it didn’t dodge, but pounced directly at car 5 again.

Bang!

This time, firing at close range, the huge shockwave from the grenade launcher sent the small Lou Shasha flying as well. The grenade exploded on the monster’s leg, causing its lower body to get stuck in the connection of the flatbed car. Its upper body climbed onto the roof, and it could only raise its long claw and slap down at Dalou.

Bang! Another loud bang. The air conditioning system on the roof of car 5 instantly shattered and caved in.
