Chapter 194

~8 min read 1,428 words

Swish, swish!

Under the rainy night, the black train rushed in the valley; the gunfire illuminated various eerie monsters attacking from the dark night; the posture like a mountain roar and sea howl was very similar to the plot of a certain type of horror movie.

On the carriage, everyone with combat ability was resisting with all their might, and some women were also helping to transport ammunition.

Rat-tat-tat!

Bullets kept pouring toward the outside of the train, and the rain and blood plasma kept splashing on the train armor, appearing exceptionally tragic.

But those monsters seemed to be endless, appearing from the darkness; the whole Infinite was just like what Director Ding said, marked with a bloody smell, attracting a large number of dark creatures to attack.

Only after more than ten minutes, the "Infinite" appeared again at the far end of the freight platform of Rain Town; the iron wheels whistled over the corpses of some parasitic pseudo-humans that had died before, rushing back loaded with a storm of blood.

Bang, bang~

After driving into a certain range near the platform, the eerie bodies in the darkness started to weaken their sound as expected, gradually disappearing, and the gunfire of the counterattack on the car also stopped accordingly.

Lin Xian and the crowd stood by the window looking at the approaching dark platform, all ready to go, prepared to have a big slaughter with those pseudo-humans here; the px05 engineering robot had already assembled the 1130 ammunition supply chain and could fire at any time.

But the strange thing was, after this heavy train rushed back, the freight platform that was full of pseudo-human parasites just now was actually silent; except for some remaining corpses and parasite fragments, only a pitch-black platform remained.

Everything was quiet as before, just like when they first arrived here last night.

"Strange, there were so many disgusting pseudo-humans just now; why are they gone again suddenly?"

"Be careful." Lin Xian scanned it once and picked up the communicator: "Everyone don't relax; prepare ammunition; be careful of the sneak attacks of those parasites."

Each carriage received Lin Xian's notification and immediately started to change ammunition and clean the shooting holes without stopping.

Everyone kept their tense heartstrings; at this moment, they could be considered to have gained a few breaths; on the living carriage side, no one spoke, and everyone was busy without saying a word.

Lin Xian and kiki walked directly into carriage No. 3; at this moment, the red light on the Hell Black Chrysanthemum inside the plant cultivation cabin already carried a dazzling meaning, indeed giving people a feeling of bad luck and ominousness.

"Killing some parasites didn't make the red light weaken much; this kind of mark must be 【Marked】 on us by the largest creature in this territory."

Ding Junyi was closely watching the changes above at this moment, then turned back to look at Lin Xian, and said with a solemn expression: "If we verify this problem, this discovery can save many people!"

"Let's live until tomorrow first."

Lin Xian took a deep breath; he didn't come back to be a savior and show off as a hero, but for the people on this train to live until tomorrow.

"Then in that case, the group hunting effect also has a certain reference." kiki said: "Two waves of teams marked by a large number of dark creatures combined together, attracting more trouble; then those large fleets, and even the Dawn Center of the Phoenix Society, wouldn't they have even bigger trouble?"

"They didn't say the trouble was small." Lin Xian looked at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum: "Didn't the Sky City - Qingluan crash? I think the situation encountered by the Phoenix Society headquarters must be much more serious than we imagined; the Phoenix Society can be said to be the strongest defensive force left by humans, plus the Night Walker organization and the interstellar military; I think there should still be a battle; however, if this information can be given, it can indeed allow humans to grasp some initiative, but we have to verify it first."

"Lin Xian, what are you planning to do?" kiki asked.

"Do you remember the storage tank in the chemical plant?" Lin Xian turned to look at her: "That thing exploding is no joke." kiki's eyes widened slowly: "Oh, you want to blow up the chemical plant!"

Lin Xian nodded: "Just need to repair that mechanical cantilever, or directly add a remote-controlled bomb to the metal preparation kettle above, and it can be realized; but this can't guarantee that it will definitely kill the monster under the lantern flower; perhaps it's also possible that it will completely enrage it."

"Enrage it then; this young lady is also furious!" kiki said angrily: "That thing almost didn't let me come back; it should be blown to death."

"But..."

She said, changing the subject, and looked at Lin Xian: "Logically speaking, Ding Qing of that Jin Gang fleet should also have such means; they know there is a monster there, why don't they blow it to death directly? Instead, they lured us over to die?"

"In the ocean, there is a kind of cnidarian organism called a sea anemone; sea anemones have many stinging cells but cannot move, and their predatory ability is limited; however, there is a kind of fish called a clownfish, which can cleverly avoid these stinging cells and survive by eating the residue digested by the sea anemone; more importantly, the sea anemone's stinging cells can effectively protect the clownfish from being attacked by other organisms; this symbiotic relationship gradually continued and evolved, to the extent that the clownfish can also be used as 'bait' for the sea anemone to prey on other fish..."

Ding Junyi was telling while recording information: "The situation in this town is very consistent with the biological nature of sea anemones; it has a territory range, hunts through stinging cells and traps; although it is also very dangerous, the night and day are relatively safer for us survivors than outside."

kiki frowned upon hearing this: "You mean to say that those people treat this place as a shelter? To coexist with those monsters?"

"It's not impossible."

Lin Xian remembered the message in that intercom: "Someone deliberately guided us in; now it seems it must be that group of Ding Qing; saying there was danger and letting us leave were all just pretexts; there were so many meat-bone humans in that cinema and chemical plant; presumably they were all unlucky ghosts who were former residents of the town or later hid in this town but were preyed upon by that lantern flower."

"But... but there are pseudo-humans in this town; they are so terrifying; it's impossible that those pseudo-humans only attack us and not them, right?" kiki was somewhat puzzled.

!

"If that were the case, we would have been besieged now."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xian walked to the window, looked at the dark platform outside, and Shu Qin, the Building, Sasha, and others in the distance of the carriage were waiting in full battle array, and said: "They don't dare to come out at night either; I guess they have also figured out some habits of the pseudo-humans; hiding in the shelter is not much better than our situation."

kiki nodded upon hearing this, took a deep breath, and said somewhat indignantly: "Also, then wouldn't these people become human traitors?"

"Human traitors?"

"Traitors of humanity, being running dogs for monsters; aren't they human traitors?" kiki said angrily.

"The words are rough but the meaning is not." Lin Xian looked at Ding Junyi: "Director Ding, you said that this big parasite doesn't possess strong defensive capabilities or the ability to escape natural enemies; you are substituting Blue Star's biological theory into these dark creatures, right? We encountered it this afternoon; it didn't look like it was that easy to deal with."

"No matter what kind of organism, survival and reproduction are the first elements." Ding Junyi raised her glasses: "This kind of organism takes root in this town, hunting in the way of territory and traps, which shows that it, like the sea anemone of the cnidarian phylum, doesn't possess the ability of mobile hunting; although parasites are very harmful, the main body before being parasitized is very fragile; when we escaped this afternoon, those pseudo-humans were all in a parasitized state, and what they used were also human muscle and joint tissues to move; this point also confirms my argument."
