105 Chapter - What Is This?
“No, this is Silent Night in Lava Volcano?”
Bai Cheng’s eyes widened; she hadn’t expected there would be natural attacks.
At the train’s current speed, the molten fireballs falling from the sky would inevitably hit the carriage precisely.
For ordinary survivors, this situation was undoubtedly a dead end.
In other words, all survivors would likely have to choose to merge with an Armored Core before entering Lava Volcano.
Even the weakest shield ability should be enough to protect the train’s safety.
At this moment, Bai Cheng was still tilting her head, watching the fireballs falling from the sky, while Lü Duo, standing on the train roof, had already made her move ahead of everyone else.
A green streak of light instantly shot into the sky, piercing through the falling molten fireball in the blink of an eye.
Then, countless thick vines immediately spread outwards from within, and with a boom, it shattered into countless pieces, scattering in all directions.
But as the train continued to move, the molten fireball that had just fallen from the sky was clearly not an isolated incident.
Soon, the dark night sky was once again illuminated by fiery stars, followed by the sound of something tearing through the air, as crimson meteors fell one after another.
“It’s not over yet?” Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow.
A meteor shower of fire was falling from the sky, and the train was still speeding along.
Although these natural disasters weren’t targeting the survivors, every now and then, a magma fireball would still directly smash towards the train.
Bai Cheng decisively activated her Armored Core skill.
The next second, a transparent spatial energy began to surge around, and after a flash, the train instantly vanished from this crimson-black land.
At the same time, Bai Cheng only felt that the scenery outside the window became blurry, as if it were wrapped in some unknown substance.
Then, an extremely strong push-back sensation suddenly struck, causing her to stumble and almost lose her footing.
By then, the blur outside the window was rapidly receding, and the train’s speed had already reached its limit.
After activating the Armored Core skill, the train’s maximum speed increased fivefold.
This meant the current train speed was 350km/h!
“The train turned into a high-speed rail!” This was Bai Cheng’s first time using an Armored Core skill, so she found it a bit novel.
Although it could only last for half an hour, it was enough to travel a very long distance.
And with the skill’s boost, the train could completely ignore the molten fireballs falling from the sky.
Bai Cheng continued to focus on swinging her dagger.
The night gradually deepened.
The train had long since exited the skill state, and the carriage was quiet, with only the hum of the steam engine remaining.
Chi Yan and Qing Niao were on night watch, while Zi Yuan and Lü Duo had already hidden in Carriage 2 to rest.
【Armored Core Skill Cooldown: 12 hours】
“The Elite-grade Armored Core’s cooldown is still too long,” Bai Cheng shook her head.
Of course, this was already reduced.
The Normal grade Armored Core had an even longer cooldown, requiring 24 hours.
As Bai Cheng’s last swing of the knife fell, the dagger in her hand finally completed its upgrade, flashing with a golden light.
【Top Tier! Unlimited Charge Blade!】
【You have gained 1 Free Attribute Point!】
The originally inconspicuous dagger had now transformed into an exquisite short blade shimmering with cold light.
The blade was slender, slightly curved, and felt very comfortable in her hand.
After stretching her sore arm, Bai Cheng eagerly checked the dagger’s information.
【Name: Charge Blade】
【Quality: Legend (Bound)】
【Description: By swinging the blade to charge, unleash a blade aura. The more times the blade is swung, the stronger the burst damage, with no upper limit.】
【Evaluation: Perseverance, always consistent.】
“Sure enough,” Bai Cheng was not surprised by this effect, “the dagger’s ability is related to its upgrade method!”
“And from the description, it has a ranged ability…” She curiously gripped the blade and went to Carriage 3, which was their bedroom.
Opening the floor-to-ceiling window at the back of the carriage, Bai Cheng stood on the small, semi-circular balcony, watching the dark, crimson scenery rapidly recede on both sides, and slowly raised the Charge Blade in her hand.
As she swung it down, the blade shimmered with a faint blue glow before quickly dimming.
Bai Cheng continued to swing the blade, and after more than a dozen swings, she suddenly unleashed all the accumulated power.
A Zhan blue blade aura, about the length of an arm, instantly cut through the night and struck the ground.
With a splutter, magma splashed.
But before Bai Cheng could carefully observe the weapon’s power, the train had already sped away, swallowed by the surrounding darkness.
“The longer it charges, the greater the power…” She raised an eyebrow, “But standing on the side swinging the blade, isn’t that a bit too…”
Anyway, it was just a fusion material for a Life Weapon, so Bai Cheng didn’t pay too much attention to it. She put away the dagger and returned to the bedroom.
It was already one in the morning, and due to the acceleration from the Armored Core skill, the time originally estimated for reaching the Promotion Station at dawn was brought forward.
“It’s all because upgrading this weapon wasted too much time.”
Bai Cheng pouted. She was still planning to rest for a while.
But as soon as she took off her shoes and socks and got into bed, she found that someone had already occupied it.
“No, why are you on my bed? Hey!”
Yu Nian probably wanted to ambush her, but because Bai Cheng took too long to upgrade her weapon, she was already asleep by then.
The single bed was a bit too crowded for two people, especially in such a hot, ghostly place like Lava Volcano.
Bai Cheng tiptoed back to the lower bunk, which was originally Yu Nian’s bed.
After purchasing supplies from the convenience store, even though their beds were still the simplest exquisite leather beds, the accompanying facilities on the beds were already very complete.
Mattresses, quilts, pillows, and everything else were available, and Yu Nian’s bed was even a cute pink.
The bed was soft and carried a faint scent of lavender.
But just as Bai Cheng lay down on the pillow, she was suddenly poked by something a bit hard.
“What is it?” she mumbled, reaching out to feel for the small object hidden under the pillow.
The bedroom light wasn't on, and with the curtains drawn, the room was actually very dark.
Bai Cheng couldn’t see the object in her hand, so she could only rely on her sense of touch to identify it.
It was about the size of an egg, flat, like an electric scooter key.
Why a key? Because Bai Cheng felt several buttons on the front.
She carefully rubbed it; the symbol on one of the buttons seemed to be a “+” sign.
“What exactly is this?” She pressed it curiously.
Bai Cheng seemed to hear a tiny hum, but it was instantly drowned out by the train’s buzzing, making her think it was a hallucination.
Yu Nian on the upper bunk turned over, her hand resting on the side of the bed, sleeping soundly.
Bai Cheng puzzledly touched the remote control in her hand: “It’s not reacting?”
After saying that, she pressed it several more times.
“Mm…” A tiny moan suddenly came, and then the hand resting on the side of the bed tightly gripped the sheet.
But Bai Cheng couldn’t see: “Is she having a nightmare?”
“Xiao Cheng, quick… quick, stop, mm…” Yu Nian’s somewhat pleading voice came from the upper bunk.
“Huh, why is she talking in her sleep?” Bai Cheng was puzzled.
“I can’t take it anymore T_T…”
Bai Cheng had no intention of responding, she turned over and prepared to sleep.
“Going to…”
But suddenly, it seemed to be raining outside; water droplets fell on her wrist.
And at that moment, a warm, wet egg also fell from the upper bunk.
“Xiao Cheng!”
Yu Nian struggled to climb down from the upper bunk, weakly shouting, “Xiao Cheng, you owe me my drool!”
With that, she lunged forward, and Bai Cheng, seeing this, quickly tried to dodge.
But the next second, the door was suddenly pushed open by Zi Yuan: “Miss, the Station is almost here.”
Both of their figures froze simultaneously.
“That fast?”
