Chapter 192

~8 min read 1,437 words

Rain.

The Rain Town under the dark night was cold and lonely; in the distance, in the valley, a train drove away quickly, lights flickering, fortune and misfortune unpredictable.

In the town, by the street, in the dark alley, countless motionless pseudo-humans stood by the windows.

They had no expression at all, just like mannequins in a store, constantly sniffing the smell in the dark night.

Inside the cinema hall, it was crookedly filled with meat-bone humans, rotting quietly in the darkness.

On the clock tower of the town, Ding Qing looked at the train that was going away, his expression stern.

"Brother Ding, they ran away."

A young man beside him holding a telescope named Luo Rui said with dissatisfaction at this moment: "I said we should have seized that train when their backbone went to the chemical plant; now there's no chance."

Before Ding Qing could speak, Duan Min on the other side said coldly at this moment: "A lightning element ability and a telekinetic element ability, both are ruthless characters; the parasitic pseudo-monster in the chemical plant didn't keep them; you still want to hijack their base camp?"

"Then what should we do? That ghost thing is getting more and more irritable; if we don't find some blood food for it, those pseudo-humans will come for us."

Duan Min's face turned black upon hearing this and said: "Blood food! Blood food! For the sake of these people, we are almost no different from those parasites!"

Luo Rui said with dissatisfaction upon hearing this: "Sister Duan, those people are all greedy and seeking death; what does it have to do with us? Didn't you warn them that it was dangerous? They insisted on going to see; it's none of our business~"

"Alright."

Ding Qing interrupted the two's quarrel impatiently at this moment, his eyes sinking: "Coming here means it's destined that we can't run; even if they run out, the dark night will swallow them; this is the final fate of us humans; Rui, when dawn comes, take people to follow the tracks for a while and see; we should be able to recover quite a few corpses."

After speaking, Ding Qing turned and walked downstairs.

From the clock tower all the way down to the basement, under the cinema, it turned out to be an underground parking lot civil air defense facility.

At this moment, it had been completely sealed off; electric lights were lit sporadically inside; many ordinary survivors were gathered together scattered; some were already asleep, some were whispering, and some families were cooking simple food with cassette stoves; looking around, there were hundreds of people in this small parking lot.

"Brother Ding, have you eaten? I cooked soup here." The woman cooking saw Ding Qing and his group approaching and said enthusiastically.

Ding Qing waved his hand: "Sister Wang, no need."

"Is it safe outside today?" a man among the survivors asked.

"That chemical plant has had big movements again; won't there be problems?"

"I heard it's about to explode there."

People along the way gathered around, talking all at once.

"Temporarily no problem." Ding Qing said: "Even if it explodes, it won't affect here; don't worry."

"That... Captain Ding."

At this moment, an old woman walked out and blocked the way; she looked at Ding Qing with an anxious face and said: "Isn't it said that a train full of people came? Are they all dead? My grandson said if they are dead, we can be safe for a month, and there's quite a bit of food."

As soon as these words came out, many people looked over one after another; some carried expectations, some had complex expressions, and some looked secretly, saying nothing.

"They must die!" Luo Rui said loudly at this moment, his face ruthless: "Grandma Zhou, don't worry; tomorrow I will take the brothers of the fleet to move things back; if there are living people, I will shoot them too."

His words caused some people to echo, and some people had struggling faces; someone said: "What kind of people are they? If they have a train, can they carry many people away?" This remark didn't seem to be made clear, but everyone heard the meaning in it.

"Why, Brother Zhang, you don't think they will carry you to run away, right?" Luo Rui sneered: "Think about it, if those people could withstand the dark night, why would they run to us? If I hadn't guided them to escape in last night, the people on that train would all be dead."

As soon as the words fell, the gazes of others dimmed, and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Many people here had already gotten used to living here, waiting for other unlucky survivors to come in and become blood food for the big parasite, thereby gaining peace during the day, and... a relatively safe dark night.

At first, everyone was just silent, waiting for survivors to come in and die, but the pseudo-humans in the town became more and more numerous, and the blood food became less and less enough for that big parasite to eat; the Jin Gang fleet actually hid here later; but after the team accepted the safe environment here, they started to have thoughts of not leaving anymore, and a small group of people led by Luo Rui started to fuel the flames, letting quite a few survivors die in Rain Town.

Ding Qing just turned a blind eye at first, but later on, Luo Rui started to actively use the calling system to let some surrounding fleeing teams enter the town, which also attracted some teams with powerful abilities.

For example, the pair of man and woman today; originally Luo Rui had already taken people to ambush around the cinema; however, Ding Qing discovered that this group of people was very extraordinary, so for fear of the team being exposed and counter-killed by the other party, he could only take action with Duan Min personally, using parasites to actively send the two ability users into the monster's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xian and the others still ran away, which indirectly showed that his caution was correct; with these people's methods, if Luo Rui had taken action, they would have been doomed.

But Luo Rui didn't think so; he had killed until his eyes were red in order to survive, and even regarded those eerie bodies and the big parasite as his own means, believing that as long as he 'served' the monster well, even if the extreme night came, this town could be the only safe harbor... except for some pseudo-humans.

"Rui."

!

Ding Qing interrupted him coldly: "Stop talking nonsense; go on guard; it's your turn tonight."

Luo Rui curled his lips, nodded somewhat reluctantly and said: "Okay~"

Ding Qing then scanned the circle: "The commotion today is not small; everyone be quiet."

Many people nodded in agreement; these people were basically ordinary people without combat power; it was only after Ding Qing's fleet came that a safe shelter was stabilized in this town, so everyone recognized him very much.

Returning to the resting room, Duan Min saw that Ding Qing's expression was not good and reached out to hold him: "Husband, if Rui brings that train back, how about... we all leave?"

"Leave? Where to?" Ding Qing looked helpless, sighed, and said:

"We have already become the executioners of the dark night; do we still have the courage to face the dark night?"

On the track section, the Infinite sped in the valley; more and more eerie creatures appeared from the darkness; the combat personnel of the whole train continued to pour out firepower, struggling to kill a bloody path from those eerie creatures.

In the living area, Shu Qin kicked away a teammate, helping him avoid a claw hook that extended from the shooting hole; then she flashed over, picked up the Remington m96, inserted it into the hole quickly, raised her hand, and fired a shot!

Bang!

The huge close-range firepower instantly melted the tentacle.

"Be careful!" Shu Qin shouted loudly.

The male teammate scrambled to get up with his gun, sweating profusely and said: "Thank you, Sister Qin."

After speaking, he continued to join the battle.

Shu Qin's expression was tense, concentrating fully on resisting the surging waves outside; after coming out of Rain Town, the Infinite encountered an attack even more terrifying than pseudo-humans; she was also extremely anxious in her heart at this moment.

Since crossing the Dazhu Plateau, the dark night here hadn't given them a single breath, which was simply unbelievable.
