"Hey hey hey, we are the Speed Team. That train, you can totally go into Dalate Town ahead, thereâs a platform. Canât you stop here!" Another womanâs voice said.
"Thatâs right, hurry up and leave, donât drag us down..." That initial urgent voice also chimed in.
In the cockpit, Lin Xianâs face darkened slightly, while Chen Sixuan was slightly angry.
"How can these people be so stupid, why do they believe in that pack hunting effect and not listen to us? The pack hunting effect isnât officially confirmed..."
"Forget it."
Lin Xianâs expression turned cold, and he directly pressed the communication button: "Weâre camping right here, feel free to stay or leave, ladies and gentlemen."
If it werenât for the fact that they were all part of the Survivor Caravan heading to Xilan, he wouldnât have been so polite as not to curse directly.
"Bastard!" the bad-tempered middle-aged man cursed immediately, "Do you believe I wonât blast you to pieces with shells..."
Before he finished speaking, other team members beside him chimed in,
"Boss, their firepower is impressive, they even have an electromagnetic gun on board."
"Yeah, they just rushed in and killed at least a thousand Snow Demons..."
Clamor...clamor...
At that moment, a series of noisy and discussing sounds seemed to come from the responder.
Soon, the sound of engines roaring came through.
"Lin Xian, look."
Chen Sixuan, who had excellent vision, saw several sets of car lights appearing indistinctly through the blizzard on the high hill.
"Are they really coming to cause trouble?"
KIKI squinted her eyes and said, "No, I think theyâre planning to leave."
"So late?" Chen Sixuan exclaimed in surprise, "Do they not want to live?"
The light from the car headlights gradually faded, and several large traffic streams seemed to converge in the blizzard, heading far away.
Lin Xian pressed the communication button again: "Itâs almost dark, you wonât reach Dalate Town, listen to me, staying here tonight is very safe."
Crackle~
As the distance increased, the signal started to deteriorate.
"We canât afford trouble...but we can avoid it...goodbye to you."
"Who believes in your Mark of Darkness thing, watched too many movies, huh..."
"Quick...go, go...donât...respond anymore."
"Buzz (engine roaring)"
"Thereâs Snow Demons...bang bang bang (gunfire), everyone, keep shooting as you move..."
...
Inside the Infinity carriage.
"These idiots!" KIKI fumed upon hearing the final conversation on the responder, "Itâs almost dark, are they looking to die?!"
"It sounds like those caravans have at least a few hundred people, itâs going to be very dangerous like this..." Chen Sixuan furrowed her delicate brows, looked at Lin Xian, sighed slightly, and said, "Now I finally understand what you meant, letting them fight is harder than letting them run, normal people find it hard to accept this marked hunting notion."
Lin Xian sighed and said, "Itâs actually fear."
He looked out the porthole at the blizzard turning darker, "After fleeing for so long, survivors have developed a physiological fear towards the Abnormal Body and the darkness. Choosing to stop and fight against the darkness is a hundred times more difficult than choosing to run away."
Whoosh~ whoosh~
The wind and snow roared, emitting a sharp streaming sound through the gaps in the Infinite Armorâs steel plates.
The responder could no longer contact those caravans.
Beep, beep.
At this moment, the watch, adjusted in advance by Luo Yangâs reminder, emitted a subtle notification sound, almost drowned out by the severe snowstorm.
"Itâs almost dark, prepare to defend."
In the blizzard night beneath the Extreme Cold Vortex, although Lin Xian was confident about the teamâs current Dark Mark conditions, this extreme weather naturally instilled a strong sense of unease.
The endless Snow Demons within the snow layers deepened his worry.
Thus, he immediately instructed the entire vehicle to start alerting.
"Load the bullets, everyone be cautious, the snow water is poisonous, you must wear the anti-toxic mask, and even after closing the firing ports, wipe all the indoor snow water completely. During this process, no one can drink water!"
The Heterogeneous Rubikâs Cube hadnât stopped its early warning all day long.
With snow water infiltration and the vehicle shell being punctured, the vehicleâs interior was filled with the invading Dark Mark and Power of Fear, and everyoneâs nerves were almost taut all day.
Upon hearing Lin Xianâs words, Shu Qin and others moved immediately.
Lin Xian, carrying KIKI and Chen Sixuan, headed to the rear and casually tossed each of them an anti-toxic mask: "Put them on, and donât take them off until the danger is eliminated."
The blizzard night changed subtly, the sky darkened all around them, and as night descended, they simply felt the light dim a bit more, and outside the windows, there was nothing left but night and the howling sideways blizzard.
Drip, drip~
Snowwater dripped on the carriage floor, and everyone in the living carriage held their weapons in hand, even Xiao Yuan gripped an automatic rifle, masked in tight protection.
Lin Xian sat in the storage room of carriage number 7, the center of the train, where he could easily cover the whole train with the Mechanical Heart for repairs.
Wooo wooo wooo~
The heater on the rooftop was running at full capacity, supplying warmth to the interior of the carriages. On top of the cabin, the 1130 Close-in Weapon System and the G3-railgun were covered in frost and ice, shattering the ice formation each time they rotated and subsequently getting covered again in seconds.
The windows were completely fogged, with ice veins forming quickly and melting repeatedly.
Lin Xian prioritized repairing the interiorâs damage and gaps, then moved to the external armor, first protecting the interior from the snowstorm invasion.
