Chapter 112

~7 min read 1,375 words

At the level 65 four-level freight track terminal station of the No. 9 underground city, on the "Infinite," Chen Sixuan and Shasha were anxiously waiting for news from Lin Xian and Kiki.

Being underground, coupled with the earthquake from earlier, the intense feeling of oppression made it hard for people to breathe.

They had originally thought this was the last gathering place of civilization full of survivors and could use Kiki's identity to achieve some goals, but they hadn't expected to see an apocalyptic graveyard.

One could even feel a sense of lingering grievance from the 370,000 souls from Zhao Yan and Xu Wen, and the aura of despair spread constantly in the deep underground.

Ding, ding, ding~

Shasha sat at the table, observing the Hell Black Chrysanthemum in the plant culture chamber, her eyes full of curiosity.

After Zhao Yan and Xu Wen had a good cry and ate something, their emotions finally stabilized quite a bit. The two sat in the corner, beginning to observe the interior of the train wrapped in steel armor.

"Where did you drive from? Are you going to Yubei?"

Shasha glanced back at them and didn't speak.

Seeing Shasha didn't speak, Zhao Yan didn't try to strike up a conversation anymore and began to communicate with Xu Wen in low voices.

Not far away, Dalou held a gun and watched these people, his attention also constantly observing the situation outside the train.

In the cockpit, Chen Sixuan was waiting by the transponder, and Ding Junyi, having just eaten something, was also following beside her.

"Miss Ding." Chen Sixuan looked at this woman whose expression was somewhat cold and said, "Where did the living people of this underground city move to?"

Ding Junyi's gaze moved, and she said solemnly,

"The migration plan was to go to other underground cities. As for which one specifically, we didn't receive notification. Of course, I also don't know if those people were successfully transferred."

"Then besides you, are there any other survivors here?"

Ding Junyi nodded. "From a probabilistic perspective, perhaps there are, but the survival probability is not high. Currently, the 1 main energy core and two spare cores of the entire underground city have been damaged, leaving only the No. 3 spare core at level 75 still online. After the underground city was sealed, we connected to this spare core for power. No other users have appeared in the entire subsystem, and no unmutated survivors have been found in the monitoring."

Chen Sixuan was slightly stunned, feeling a bit of sigh in her heart. This giant underground city was originally the hope of survival for countless people, but overnight, it became a terrifying pit that buried 370,000 people.

Not to mention the countless refugees on the snowfield when they came...

Beep, beep.

At this moment, a mechanical sound rang out. Just as Ding Junyi thought it was the sound of the transponder, Chen Sixuan beside her suddenly stood up and grabbed her, making a shushing gesture.

Chen Sixuan pointed to the train radar, which showed that something seemed to be approaching in the darkness ahead.

Because the "Infinite" entered from the surface, the train head was facing away from the rear station exit, while the direction of the cockpit was the tunnel leading downward.

Chen Sixuan guessed whether it was Lin Xian and the others coming up along the tracks, but then she thought that they were still walking down the tunnel at level 89 earlier and hadn't received news yet, so how could they suddenly appear at level 65?

Chen Sixuan's action made Ding Junyi instantly alert. Not only her, but Shasha and Dalou in carriage No. 1 also sensed some movement and began to be vigilant one after another.

Zhao Yan and Xu Wen subconsciously looked at the few people and were immediately frightened: "What's wrong? Are they back?"

"Shh!"

Shasha signaled for them to be quiet. She stood up and was just about to open the blackout curtain when a loud noise suddenly rang out on one side of the train.

Thump!

It was as if something had suddenly crashed into them from the darkness.

"Ah!!" The sudden loud noise frightened Zhao Yan and Xu Wen, who immediately screamed. Shasha immediately pulled open the blackout curtain, and the orange interior light shone out. A blood-red dried corpse appeared in the light; it sprinted and crashed rapidly into the train's armor plate. Bang!

The violent sound echoed throughout the entire freight train station, incredibly piercing.

"What is this?!"

"It's a human-ghost!" Dalou's expression was solemn. He had just slashed one not long ago. Although this one looked a bit different, it was clearly not an ordinary zombie; it must be the kind of human-ghost Ding Junyi mentioned.

Chen Sixuan in the cockpit noticed the situation in carriage No. 1 and was just about to run over when another light sound came from the side of the train head, as if something had climbed up.

Ugh, ah! ~

Ding Junyi's expression sank, and she and Chen Sixuan both retreated.

With a low roar, several eerie tentacles slowly appeared in their sight, spreading along the armor grille on the cockpit windshield. The tentacles were blood-red and secreted brownish mucus, and a human hand was grabbing onto them. In the middle of the tentacles, one could seem to see a circle of sharp teeth and mouthparts.

"This kind is also a human-ghost!" Ding Junyi frowned slightly, her gaze looking at Chen Sixuan: "Do we need to activate any defense mechanisms, or counterattack?"

Chen Sixuan's eyes widened as she observed the bizarre monster outside the train, took a deep breath, and said,

"No need! They can't get in!"

Thump, thump, thump!!!

At this moment, more and more movements began to ring out constantly around the carriages behind them—some on the sides, some climbing onto the roof.

!

Ugh, ah!!

On the dark station platform, countless bizarre things were attracted by the sound; zombies and human-ghosts began to surround the train.

In carriage No. 1, screams rose one after another. Shasha walked in front of Zhao Yan and Xu Wen and shouted angrily: "I told you not to scream. If you scream again, I'll throw you out."

Zhao Yan was startled. She hadn't expected this little girl who looked about ten years old to speak so fiercely. Looking up, she saw Dalou walking over with a murderous aura, thinking he was really going to throw them out, so she immediately hugged Xu Wen, covering her mouth in terror, not daring to scream again.

"Sister Chen, is there any news from Brother Lin?"

Shasha shouted toward the cockpit.

Chen Sixuan shook her head. At this moment, all kinds of attack and impact sounds were constantly coming from above, below, left, and right, and many black monster bugs were climbing from outside the train windows onto the roof.

Ah!!!

A female human-ghost let out a violent shriek, rushing at high speed to the cockpit door position, using those blood claws to constantly scratch the train door. The entire train was surrounded by various monsters at this moment, and bursts of echoes reached inside the carriage.

Ding Junyi looked around in surprise. The sturdiness of this train's armor exceeded her expectations. The scene where that female human-ghost rushed out of the darkness and killed Professor Han was still fresh in her memory, but such a monster seemed unable to cause much damage to the train's armor. This was simply comparable to the level of a military tank.

Beep, beep.

At this moment, the transponder rang. Chen Sixuan hurriedly pressed it, and Lin Xian's voice finally appeared again.

"Chen Laoshi, we've found that locomotive."

"That's great. How is your situation now?" Chen Sixuan asked hurriedly.

"The situation... is a bit complicated. What's the situation on your end?" Lin Xian heard the violent movement on the train and asked immediately.

"We are surrounded by many zombies and human-ghosts. I don't know if there are any Anomalies." Chen Sixuan tried her best to remain calm. She looked at the roof and the direction of the carriages: "But don't worry, there should be nothing wrong here."
