Chapter 176: A Strange Call

Bang!

The Aberrations surrounded the entire train. In that instant, the monster seemed to sense the fear inside the train. With a shriek, it rammed its head directly into the porthole grille armor plate of the Infinity’s cockpit!

Clang~!

Strange insects began to collide with and tear at the train’s steel plates.

Aargh!!

The giant human-headed spider let out a shriek, and the countless pale human arms on its legs trembled frantically, making one’s scalp tingle.

Vroom!!

In an instant, Lin Xian’s first reaction was to control the Infinity and start accelerating frantically!

“Attack!”

Lin Xian’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that these monsters had finally been provoked, and he immediately ordered everyone to attack.

Vroom~! Clank, clank, clank!

The Mechanical Heart spun. The engines of the Whale 03E heavy-duty gas turbine locomotive and the motors of the nuclear-powered locomotive began to roar. The train began to accelerate. Lin Xian raised his hand and, with a mechanical creation, directly created a heavy-duty protective plate covered in spikes outside the porthole. The spikes shot out.

Bang!

The immense force of the human-headed spider slammed directly into the protective plate. Flesh and blood splattered, and it let out a painful scream.

Lin Xian didn’t know what this thing was capable of. To protect the porthole, he first took a protective measure.

At the same time, KIKI flashed out. She raised her hand, and a powerful psionic wave, along with the heavy-duty protective plate covered in spikes, was pushed out. The human-headed spider’s several sharp claws scraped against the edge of the train, creating a shower of sparks. Piercing screams erupted, and even a giant black centipede on the roof of the train rolled off!

Thump, thump!

“Everyone, open fire!!”

At this critical moment, Lin Xian immediately gave the order.

Rat-tat-tat, bang, bang, bang! On his command, the convoy members in the living cars began to fire their guns out of the firing ports. Bullets rained down on the limbs and legs of the monsters outside, instantly creating a spray of unidentifiable colored pulp.

In car number 5, Da Lou stood in front of the automatic door with his Gatling gun, ready to fire. Lu Xingchen, on the other hand, opened the rooftop platform. Thump, thump, thump! The moment the roof opened, a strange snake head and a large number of black insects frantically tried to get in.

But at this moment, a pillar of crimson fire shot up into the sky!

“God’s Burning Heaven!”

“Demons and evil spirits, all of you, make way for this venerable one!”

Boom!

Scorching flames spewed out from the combat window. The huge pressure difference suddenly doubled the speed of the flames shooting out of the circular window. The flames shot up more than ten meters high, instantly burning all the black insects and rushing out of the window. The strange snake head roared and retracted its head.

Hiss~

The automatic door opened. In that instant, Da Lou began to pull the trigger. Vroom~ The motor of the rotary gun began to spin. Just as the light shone on the bared fangs and brandished claws of the monster’s limbs outside the automatic door, the Roarer K23 Gatling gun truly began to roar!

BEEP!!!!!

The violent stream of metal instantly blasted the writhing tentacles to pieces. The smell of gunpowder filled the air. A tentacle covered in fluff, like a scorpion’s tail, frantically probed inside, only to be blasted to smithereens by Da Lou’s firepower.

Thump, thump, thump! Countless enraged Aberrations began to violently ram the train cars and the roof.

The giant black centipede directly clung to the train car, trying to gnaw at the side plates. Hundreds of insect legs clanged against the armor, making one’s scalp tingle.

Lin Xian stood in the cockpit, feeling the train being constantly dragged and slowed down. His eyes hardened.

“You like to cling to the train, don’t you? Good, I’ve prepared a handle for you!”

The Mechanical Heart activated in an instant! The high-voltage electric knives on both sides of the Infinity rose up under the operation of the motors. A faint electric current sound began to emanate from the silver blades. At the same time, the blades began to glow, and a large number of electric arcs flashed!

Swish!

As these two hundred-meter-long electric blades rose, the several indescribable Aberrations clinging to the side of the train immediately let out shrill screams. Strange limbs were severed, the centipede’s abdomen was cut open, and they rolled off the track’s retaining wall with strange cries.

At this moment, the Infinity’s speed finally picked up. The flames from the explosion caused by Lu Xingchen in car number 5 landed on the roof of the train, and the flames spread directly to both sides. From a distance, the entire roof of the train was engulfed in a raging fire, making a crackling sound as it sped along!

“We’ve shaken them off! KIKI, put out the fire!”

The train picked up speed, but the roof was still on fire. Lin Xian was worried that the flames would spread to the cars through the armor plates, so he immediately had KIKI put out the fire and clear the Aberrations on the roof.

“Okay!”

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

KIKI quickly flew toward the rear cars and continuously used her psionic shockwaves on the roof, instantly blasting away the flames, along with various charred Aberration limbs.

Aargh!! Screech!!

Piercing howls sounded one after another. The Aberrations began to frantically chase the train. In the darkness of the mountain forest, a large number of black insects also emerged, crawling toward the railway tracks.

“How can there be so many monsters? Is it really because of the group hunting effect?”

Chen Sixuan’s face was full of disbelief as she looked at the unknown black insects constantly emerging from the mountain forests on both sides of the road under the car’s lights, her brows tightly furrowed.

Lin Xian’s expression was also heavy at this moment. Whether it was the group hunting effect or the dark tide from the triple Starry Abysses, the current situation told him that the night was more dangerous than before.

The endless stream of monsters seemed to have targeted them, constantly emerging from the dark mountain forests.

He had originally thought that with more daylight, the safety and survival rate of the survivors would also increase a lot. But who knew that the danger of the night had increased exponentially? Just now, the entire train was covered in Aberrations. The thought of it made his scalp tingle.

In the deep mountain forests, trembling roars came one after another. The train was moving at high speed, and Lin Xian didn’t dare to be careless at all.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Fierce impacts constantly appeared on the external armor of each car. Because of the armored electric blades, no monsters could climb onto the train at the moment, but those smaller black insects could quickly climb up.

“Damn it.”

These Aberrations in the night were just like the ones in Yubei City that night, rushing out in droves. Lin Xian wanted to curse, but at the same time, he felt a little fortunate.

Fortunately, he had seized the daytime to get the train cars and armor ready, and had also let Shu Qin and the others get on the train. Otherwise, they would have suffered heavy casualties as soon as night fell.

It was as if there were an endless number of terrifying existences in the dark night. No one knew what would suddenly jump out of the darkness of the forest and crash into the front of the Infinity in the next second.

“Lin Xian, look!”

At this moment, Chen Sixuan suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Xian looked up, and a light on the track in the distance suddenly caught his attention.

“There, it seems… there’s a person?”

Chen Sixuan’s eyes were urgent and strange, because she saw a figure in the distance on the track, standing in the middle of the track?

“A zombie?”

“It doesn’t seem like it.”

Beep, beep, beep.

At this moment, the train’s transponder suddenly sounded.

A mechanical voice came from inside.

“Ahead, please merge into branch line No. 3.”

“What?!” Lin Xian was startled and quickly pressed the transponder button. “Who’s speaking?!”

No one answered.

The mechanical voice seemed to have appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, Chen Sixuan patted Lin Xian’s shoulder. He looked up and was horrified to find that the black figure on the track had disappeared, and on the main track ahead, a fork had appeared, and the switch had been changed!

“The track has been changed!”

“Never mind, let’s just rush in first.”

At this moment, countless Aberrations were attacking the train from the darkness. The dense black insects were crawling on the track, making a rustling sound like rain.

He couldn’t be bothered to stop and change the switch. He could only brace himself and turn into a branch line from the fork.

Under the illumination of the lights, this branch line seemed to extend into a mountain forest. The surroundings became darker, and many towering trees blocked out the sky. Steep rocks appeared on one side of their vision.
