Chapter 198: Clownfish

On the Infinity’s side, three vehicles drove down from car number 11. Shu Qin and Lu Xingchen led a dozen heavily armed people along the main road towards Rain Town. Meanwhile, for better mobility, Lin Xian created another motorcycle. He, KIKI, Lu Chang, and Miao Lu split up, preparing to circle around the outskirts of the town, avoiding the main avenue to reach the chemical plant.

Da Lou and Shasha, armed with heavy weapons, guarded the train. Onboard were also Director Ding and some logistical personnel with weaker combat capabilities.

“Shu Qin, Brother Huo, I’ll repeat it one more time. Your mission is to create a commotion. There are also some Aberrations in those buildings, so be extremely careful. If you are attacked by another convoy, retreat quickly towards the train.”

“This venerable one understands.”

“Roger,” Shu Qin said.

“Teacher Chen, prioritize monitoring Shu Qin’s convoy. If there’s a situation, open fire to support them immediately. At the same time, observe if any targets are approaching the station.”

“Understood.”

“Da Lou, Shasha, the safety of the train is in your hands. Shu Qin and I may retreat this way at any time. If there are pursuers, we’ll need your fire support.”

Shasha was in car number 2, monitoring the area around the train with the Sentinel system. On another screen, the fire control system for the 1130 was not yet activated but was online.

“Don’t worry, Brother Lin. Whoever dares to mess with our train, my brother and I will blast them to smithereens.”

After giving his instructions, Lin Xian got on the motorcycle with KIKI and drove towards the outskirts of the station. Lu Chang and Miao Lu followed behind on another motorcycle, carrying a large box.

The roar of the vehicle engines on the station platform, as the curtain of sunrise was drawn, shattered the city’s tranquility.

On a tall building in an alley in Rain Town, Luo Rui sat on a lounge chair, holding a pair of binoculars, constantly monitoring the movements at the station. He held a can of fruit cocktail in his hand, looking quite leisurely.

“There’s a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. There’s no door to hell, yet you barge right in. Brother Ding’s methods are still too gentle. If we fed these high-level Espers as blood food, we could have peace for at least a month or two.”

In front of Luo Rui were two walkie-talkies. He picked one up and called, “Fatty, Guo Sheng, what’s the situation with that train now?”

At this moment, a voice came from the walkie-talkie: “Brother Rui, we’ve been watching all night. There are many cars, but not many people, no more than 50 at most. Excluding the old, weak, sick, and disabled, there are probably about 30. Three vehicles just came out. Judging by their gear, they should be the main force, about a dozen people. Their two Esper leaders are on motorcycles, taking the north route into the city. They’re probably heading to the chemical plant.”

“The chemical plant?” Luo Rui frowned. “Ding Qing was actually right. There are no guns or cannons there, yet they’re rushing to be blood food.”

“Brother Rui, their main force should be out. There probably isn’t much heavy firepower left on the train. And judging by the battle, they probably suffered heavy losses last night,” the voice on the walkie-talkie said.

Luo Rui nodded. “An Impersonator got in. At least a few people must have died.”

“Brother Rui, what’s the plan? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” the subordinate on lookout duty said eagerly over the walkie-talkie.

“What’s your hurry?” Luo Rui picked up his binoculars, saw the three vehicles speeding towards the town, and sneered. “Everyone hide well for now. Let’s see what they’re up to. We’re in the dark; we can deal with them anytime.”

“Got it.”

Soon, the hidden sentinels in various corners of Rain Town began to focus their attention on the three vehicles led by the armored car. Just as these people thought they were here for revenge, they found that the vehicles stopped on the outskirts of the street. Then, a dozen people got out and began to search the buildings along the street. Soon, a large amount of gunfire was heard, and a building began to burn fiercely.

Through the binoculars, Luo Rui watched this scene, his face filled with shock and confusion.

“Holy crap, are these people brain-dead? Are they planning to search for us house by house, or are they trying to get revenge on the Impersonators?” The subordinate’s voice on the walkie-talkie was full of amazement.

“What a bunch of idiots,” Luo Rui sneered. “I was wondering what they were planning to do with such a show of force. There are a lot of monsters in those houses. Isn’t this just courting death?”

“Exactly. If they keep this up, I estimate their dozen or so people won’t last two hours.”

Luo Rui had thought the people in the three vehicles were coming to fight them, after all, they had tricked them yesterday. He didn’t expect that group to come and start a fight with the Impersonators directly. This left Luo Rui completely baffled.

If they wanted resources, this town had long been plundered clean by them. If they were looking for people, searching house by house like this was like dancing in a minefield. Those Impersonators were endless, it was a complete waste of bullets.

Seeing this, Luo Rui’s eyes turned fierce. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, “Have Team One and Team Two approach from the east and west. Guo Sheng, take Team Three to circle around and blow up the tracks to block their path. Fatty, lead your men to feign a weakness, throw a few bone worms in, and wear them down slowly. Don’t show your faces. That train’s armor is very tough.”

“You got it.”

“Brother Rui, what if it gets dark and they still don’t show themselves?”

Luo Rui looked in the direction of the chemical plant. “Then we’ll wait for Brother Ding’s side. As long as their leader is dead and the tracks are blown, they can only wait for death. Then it will depend on whether the people on their train want to die comfortably or painfully.”

“Roger!”

With the order given, from the corners of the town and the surrounding woods, more than a dozen vehicles and forty to fifty people began to move out, quietly approaching and surrounding the station from the side roads.

A vanguard team on motorcycles, carrying explosives, detoured and sped towards the railway tracks.

On the other side, Lin Xian rode his motorcycle quickly towards the chemical plant. A light mist had risen in Rain Town in the morning after the heavy rain. Lin Xian looked at the towering cooling tower, his heart sinking slightly.

“Lin Xian, you were right. Someone is approaching the station from the outskirts of the town.”

Chen Sixuan’s voice came through the communicator. Lin Xian could hear a hint of nervousness in her voice and immediately said sternly, “Keep an eye on them for now. Don’t expose yourself. Wait for my signal.”

“Okay.”

Hiding on the roof of the warehouse, Chen Sixuan observed the convoy moving through the woods through her sniper scope. Her breathing was slightly rapid. She tried to calm herself down, and everything around her seemed to become much quieter.

In the scope, the rapidly jumping image due to the long distance seemed to turn into slow motion in her eyes. Even the facial expressions of the drivers as they spoke were captured clearly by her.

For some reason, after she adjusted her breathing and mentality, her brain quickly calmed down. The nervousness and cowardice in her heart were obediently contained. She enjoyed this feeling of tranquility and focus.

Meanwhile, when Lin Xian and KIKI’s motorcycle approached the outside of the chemical plant, they found that several heavily armored vehicles were already parked on the grounds outside. A dozen heavily armed personnel were already guarding there. Ding Qing, wearing his exoskeleton power armor and holding that black long spear, stood in the middle. The woman named Duan Min was also beside him. It seemed they had been waiting for Lin Xian and the others to appear.

“As expected, they really are a bunch of clownfish,” Lin Xian said in a low voice, watching this scene from a distance.

“Should we just charge in?”

KIKI slowly floated up from the back seat of the motorcycle, levitating in the air, and directly raised her hand to unleash a shockwave.

Boom!

The white mist was instantly blasted away, and the surrounding view became clear in an instant.

This move was like that of a god. The gunmen inside the chemical plant immediately raised their guns in unison, aiming their muzzles at KIKI in the air.

But at this moment, Ding Qing raised his hand to stop them. He looked at Lin Xian, his eyes shifting, and shouted loudly,

“Since you’ve already left, why bother coming back?”
