122 Chapter - Are We The Clowns Who Came Here To Die?
Bai Cheng had originally thought it would take her some time to drive out of the cave.
However, she hadn't expected the train's route to be constantly upward, and soon enough, she had already arrived on this crimson-black plateau.
What she also hadn't expected was how fast the Infinite Marauders were; by the time she reached the first red dot on the map, many people had already surrounded her.
These Infinite Marauders' trains varied in length, with even the shortest having five carriages, and the longest exceeding a dozen, like a swimming dragon.
Moreover, although their trains were covered in signs of erosion, they didn't appear old.
At this moment, many people were already standing outside their trains or peering out of windows, looking excitedly in the direction of Bai Cheng's train.
"It seems that after becoming an Infinite Marauder, all rules are no longer bound by the system."
For example, there was no longer a limit to team size, but one thing still puzzled Bai Cheng.
Judging by the appearance of this group of Infinite Marauders, it seemed they had known a Pioneer would arrive long ago?
Could it be that there was something among them also issuing quests?
Bai Cheng's gaze sharpened, and she stopped thinking about it.
Watching the Infinite Marauders getting closer from all directions, she didn't even let the train slow down.
Although the Infinite Marauders were forming a siege around Bai Cheng, with the train's 강화, their old clunkers simply couldn't catch up.
The current situation was that as long as Bai Cheng defeated the Infinite Marauders in front of her, she could successfully break out of the encirclement.
"Boss, this guy is trying to run!" a subordinate on a train to the side quickly shouted.
"She can't run, and she won't!"
The boss knew very well that the other party was merely trying to use her speed advantage to stretch them out.
After all, they had strength in numbers, and the system would also grant Pioneers some special privileges, such as extremely fast train speeds.
The boss immediately sneered, seemingly having a countermeasure already.
"Fire the grappling hook cannons! We'll board directly!"
The subordinate immediately prepared to act, but upon turning around, he discovered a cannon barrel on Bai Cheng's train not far away, aimed directly at their direction.
He immediately said, "Boss, the other party's Employee seems to be preparing to attack us with the Employee Watchtower…"
The boss was stunned upon hearing this: "Employee Watchtower? Hahahahaha, what kind of trash is that?!"
"Don't worry about it, don't even bother activating skills. If that broken thing can even chip the paint off my train, I'll say it peed far!"
But no sooner had he spoken than an extremely dense purple energy suddenly surged not far away, then rapidly condensed into a vortex shape towards the cannon's muzzle.
"Boss, why does it feel a bit off?"
"Nonsense, it's not like you haven't used that thing before…"
But before he could finish, a purple laser instantly pierced through their train!
Then, boom—!
The high-speed train immediately let out a huge explosion, smoke clouds rising into the sky, even temporarily dispersing the Ashen Rain falling from above.
The intense firelight accompanied by a loud bang instantly made all the surrounding Infinite Marauders freeze in place.
This level of power… the few people on that train, and even their Employees, were instantly reduced to dust.
"What the hell, how is this possible?!" The boss of the train closest to the explosion was now filled with lingering fear.
"You're telling me this is the power an elemental crossbow from an Employee Watchtower can unleash?"
He was incredulous, still in a state of immense shock.
But his subordinate beside him suddenly froze in terror, trembling, and quickly said, "Bo-Boss! That muzzle is aimed at us!!"
Danger!
He suddenly snapped back to reality and quickly roared, "Quick, quickly deviate course, activate the barrier immediately!"
Although the Infinite Marauders' trains could autonomously choose their direction of travel, deviating from the track required some time and could not execute sharp turns or even right-angle turns.
Of course, even if it could, it would be useless.
No matter how fast the train was, it couldn't be faster than the attack Zi Yuan unleashed.
The second purple laser arrived in an instant, and the barrier deployed by the train after activating its skill was as fragile as paper.
Then, another loud bang accompanied by firelight shot into the sky.
Now, all the Infinite Marauders who had gathered around were stunned; at this moment, only one thought remained in their minds.
This person is absolutely invincible!
As Infinite Marauders, they valued their lives even more; after witnessing the terrifying strength of this Pioneer, they now only wanted to escape as quickly as possible!
"Damn it, who the hell said we should take the initiative to attack!"
At this moment, on the train directly behind Bai Cheng, the boss roared.
However, he was also very fortunate to be directly behind this Pioneer; as long as the train slowed down, he could quickly widen the gap between them.
Then, [N O V E L I G H T] with others buying him time, his successful escape would certainly not be a problem!
But just as he entered the train to prepare to slow down, he suddenly looked up and saw that the red-haired big man at the rear of the opposing train suddenly jumped off.
"Is he crazy…"
Before he could finish speaking, the moment the big man disappeared from his blind spot, a giant male lion, comparable in size to a train, suddenly appeared out of thin air.
The male lion, burning with crimson flames all over, was now staring intently at him with a pair of vertical pupils.
"Holy crap!"
This exclamation was out of fright and became his last words.
Crimson Flame waved its sharp claws, and surging flames swept over; the high-speed train suddenly turned into molten iron at this moment!
Crimson Flame took a step back, then leaped up, twisted its body in the air, and immediately charged towards the other trains.
The sheer heat emanating from this giant beast was enough to melt trains, and its flailing flame attacks could easily reduce trains to dust.
More importantly, its speed was incredibly fast; at train speeds, these Infinite Marauders were horrified to discover that they couldn't even outrun it!
Unable to fight, unable to escape, they suddenly realized that they were a group of clowns who had actively come to their deaths…
Meanwhile, Bai Cheng inside the train merely glanced casually at the battle outside the window before retracting her gaze.
To deal with these Infinite Marauders, her Employees didn't need to exert their full strength, and there was no need to even activate the train's skills.
"I didn't expect them to actively deliver themselves to my doorstep; it really saved a lot of time."
However, because of Zi Yuan and Crimson Flame's wide-area attacks, almost all of the Infinite Marauders' trains suffered extensive damage.
The spoils Bai Cheng could obtain were actually not much, but she didn't care about that; as long as critical materials like cores weren't missing, it was fine.
She wouldn't slow down Crimson Flame and Zi Yuan's kill efficiency for that reason.
After all, ranking rewards were more important; she couldn't lose sight of the bigger picture.
Moreover, because the train had just completed its upgrade, the interior space was incredibly vast; Bai Cheng didn't even look and simply chose to collect all these miscellaneous materials in one go.
The system was quite user-friendly in this regard; at least she didn't have to stop the train.
Bai Cheng looked at the Detection Station again; at this moment, as each Infinite Marauder was dealt with, the red dots on the map were continuously disappearing.
At the same time, the black lines that seemed to represent the tracks and connected the red dots had also vanished, replaced by a straight line extending beyond the hundred-mile range of the map.
And the Station distance display on the Detection Station had also quietly changed at this moment.
【'Proceeding to hostile Station, Distance: 156km!'】
