Chapter 176

*Whoosh. *

The black train, hundreds of meters long, began to accelerate in the sunset.

18:40

The tracks extended into the old forest in the valley, the skyline seemingly sinking into the black tide.

Chen Sixuan looked at the driving map and said: "It's about to get dark. I don't know why, but I've felt a kind of cold feeling ever since I came out of Jiazhou City."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian's gaze swept toward the sunset in the distance of the skyline, his face changing slightly.

Actually, he had this feeling too. Hearing Chen Sixuan say this, he was a bit surprised.

*Empty~ empty~*

The train's speed suddenly slowed down, as if it had run over something. Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan leaned forward due to inertia, both frowning.

"What is it?"

Chen Sixuan shook her head, frowning: "I didn't see anything."

Lin Xian felt something was wrong. At this time, on the train tracks, he neither saw any zombies nor any obstacles. He didn't know what the train had run over.

"Does everyone feel something is wrong?" For the sake of caution, Lin Xian picked up the communicator and directly contacted the core personnel in various parts of the train.

"Feels a bit cold." Shasha was the first to reply.

"Did we run over something just now?" Kiki's voice also came.

"I also feel something is not quite right." In Carriage No. 10, Shu Qin's expression was somewhat solemn, pacing back and forth in the carriage with that Remington M96: "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but we've encountered trouble several times before when we had this feeling."

In Carriage No. 5, Lu Xingchen was organizing his hairstyle, looking at Gao Ta: "Big guy, is Brother Lin calling us?"

Lou Ye raised his finger and pointed to the communicator: "Brother Xian said he feels something is not quite right. Did you notice anything?"

Lu Xingchen frowned, lifted his palm, and a ball of flames ignited in his palm.

*Swish~*

Suddenly, the flame flared up violently, started to shake fiercely, and soon returned to normal.

*Swish, swish, swish! *

He ignited flames directly with both hands, and the carriage was illuminated by the crimson light. Then his expression sank, and a rare solemnity appeared on his face: "This cold isn't the temperature. It seems there's some eerie evil at work."

In Carriage No. 2, Kiki sat in front of the information center, frowning, constantly checking the parameters of the entire train, and mobilizing the surveillance of the sentry system, but she found nothing.

"Lin Xian, there's nothing, but I also feel something is wrong. Should we stop and check?" Kiki said into the communicator.

*Empty~*

At this time, the train's speed slowed down again. This time, it not only felt like it had run over something, but the train also seemed to have become much heavier.

Lin Xian in the cockpit heard the feedback from several people, his gaze narrowing. He thought of something, turned around, and returned to Carriage No. 1, opening the Isomorphic Rubik's Cube installed on the train body.

【Beep! Conducting reflection detection using non-mechanical power.】

【Detection successful, no fear risk inside the train, dark-side power invasion has been shielded.】

"There's nothing inside the train. Could I be overthinking it?"

Lin Xian's heart jumped violently. Then he picked up the Soul-Returning Value Detector, *click*, pressed the detector button, and saw a pale red energy radiate from the Eerie Blood Essence, then quickly gather again. Soon, the pointer on the detector began to turn slowly.

100-

200-

300!

500!! -

1000!!!

Looking at the constantly dropping negative Soul-Returning Value, Lin Xian's face gradually became solemn.

1000 was not the true detected data, but the numerical limit of this simple Soul-Returning Value Detector of Lin Xian's!

Looking at this scene, Lin Xian solemnly picked up the communicator and said slowly: "Everyone, pay attention. The Soul-Returning Value Detector has detected a very high level of dark-side power. We might be targeted by some eerie entity."

As soon as these words were spoken, personnel in all carriages became nervous.

Lin Xian walked to Carriage No. 2. Kiki was frowning at this time: "No, I didn't find anything here."

"Are those crows in the sky?"

"Neither."

"Lin Xian."

"Hmm?" Lin Xian, who was about to go to other carriages to check, was suddenly called by Kiki. Kiki looked at him and said: "It's about to get dark."

Lin Xian's gaze shifted. He stopped his steps and turned directly to run toward the cockpit.

"Teacher Chen, are there any road bridges or tunnels on the road ahead? We might need to accelerate and rush through for a while to see."

Chen Sixuan responded directly: "Many. This area is still mountainous. We'll only reach the big plains after passing Hengshan Pass. And if we enter the forest area, there will be swamps and wetlands."

*Beep, beep. *

The watch's second prompt sounded.

18:45.

"It's about to get dark!"

Lin Xian looked ahead. The sunset hadn't set yet, but mysterious light was already flashing on the skyline.

But the next moment, Lin Xian's face changed drastically.

!

Chen Sixuan on the side shouted in surprise: "Lin Xian, look, three flashes of light are coming at the same time!!!"

Lin Xian naturally saw it too. Every time it got dark before, the mysterious light of the Dark Tide would flash across the skyline like a curtain, and then the world would immediately fall into darkness. But at this time, there were three mysterious lights from different directions flashing at the same time, just like ripples on the water surface rippling across the sky.

"This is... the tide from the direction of the three Star Abysses!"

Before Lin Xian's voice fell, the whole world instantly fell into darkness.

*Empty~*

The train encountered a lag again. And at this time, all the windows of the Infinity, including the surveillance of the sentry system, went black instantly.

"What's going on?"

Kiki jumped off the chair and came to the window to open the blackout board, but found that the train window seemed to be covered by something, and she couldn't see outside at all.

In the cockpit, with the arrival of darkness, the train window of the Infinity, which was in the middle of driving, was suddenly completely blocked by a black object. Chen Sixuan's gaze narrowed, and she was shocked to find that the object completely covering the train head window seemed to be swimming slowly.

It looked like... the insect abdomen of some kind of insect!

*Squeak! *

In an instant, Lin Xian immediately let the Infinity slow down, and a burst of screams erupted in the carriage.

"Lin Xian!"

Kiki's urgent voice came from the communicator: "Outside our train, it's covered in eerie entities!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

At this time, outside the Infinity, which was slowing down as it drove into the deep mountains and old forests, countless terrifying eerie entities were clinging to it. These eerie entities were all terrifyingly large, tangling the entire train tightly in a crisscross pattern. Bursts of *empty, empty, empty* sounds of steel plates being squeezed came from the carriages, and everyone was startled by this sudden situation.

*Click, click, click~*

Suddenly, the entire Infinity train was surrounded. Various sounds of climbing and swimming appeared from all directions. Outside the carriage windows, various strange limb insect feet kept sweeping past, making people not dare to breathe.

"Where did these things appear from?!!!"

Watching the giant black insect abdomen swimming on the train window, Chen Sixuan's face turned pale at this time, enduring the fear in her heart, and she said carefully to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian didn't speak. The Mechanical Heart connected to the entire train, feeling countless external forces conducting on every carriage, and his heart sank instantly.

Why did these things suddenly appear outside the Infinity? It was simply unimaginable.

Clearly, they had been very cautious and careful, but these things that suddenly appeared before their eyes still gave Lin Xian a real fright.

*Thud, thud, thud~*

The giant black insect had just crawled past the front of the train. A slow-crawling existence on the roof of the train with heavy steps slowly came to the front of the train head. Instantly, an eerie creature covered in countless human-like arms hung upside down, revealing a giant spider face. On it grew two large and four small six eyes, but those two large eyes were two pale and twisted human faces, mouths wide open, bringing a terrifying aura of fear.
