48 Chapter - Behead!
Bai Cheng was very clear about what the sudden alarm from the observation deck meant.
Because it only had one function: to detect if there were other trains within a ten-kilometer radius!
Bai Cheng’s eyes narrowed: “A train is coming?!”
It was exactly ten kilometers from the First Station now, was the other party inside the First Station?
Was it a survivor or… no, it could only be an Infinite Marauders.
The Crimson Flame beside her immediately gave a low answer: “Miss, a train is heading in our direction!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng immediately looked out the window, only to see a steam train in the distance emitting thick black smoke, its tracks extending all the way, rapidly approaching.
At this moment, she had no time to ponder why the other party could control the train’s direction; she only knew that if this continued, the two trains were bound to collide!
The opposing train had a total of three carriages, far fewer than the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title of the Infinite Marauders’s train Bai Cheng encountered at the First Station.
However, the train before her showed no signs of dilapidation, only looking slightly old.
Moreover, the bottom of the train’s front had thick armor protection, and it was about to collide head-on with the side of Bai Cheng’s train!
Even if the two employees were elite-level strength, she didn’t believe they could directly stop a speeding train.
So Bai Cheng’s first reaction was to start the train, trying to avoid the other party’s impact; as for what happened afterward, it would be much simpler.
She wasn’t afraid of enemies, only worried about damage to the train.
The Crimson Flame made no move; he had already tacitly taken on the responsibility of protecting Bai Cheng and the train’s safety inside the train.
As for eliminating enemies, that was Zi Yuan’s mission on the roof.
At the same time, on the approaching train not far away, a group of people stood on the outer corridor of the train’s front.
One of them, holding binoculars, could already see the train stopped in place.
A hint of joy curved her lips: “Wen Ge, you were right, that guy really hasn’t discovered us yet!”
The man behind her spoke with a naturally disdainful tone: “Heh, of course, it’s impossible to discover us; she was able to reach the First Station so quickly, there must be no detection platform on her train.”
To be honest, if the other party were to hide in the First Station, they truly wouldn’t have a way for a while.
The others also echoed: “That’s right, but we’re really lucky; we originally planned to get some supplies on the periphery and then wait for prey, but we didn’t expect someone to deliver themselves so quickly!”
“I remember that you could form teams after entering the Muddy Swamp, right? The other party stopping in front of the First Station is clearly waiting for teammates!”
The last young woman among the four also spoke, her eyes unable to hide her excitement.
“Hahaha, if that’s the case, then we don’t mind waiting a bit longer!”
Everyone was full of laughter, not putting the other party in their eyes at all.
The man named Wen Ge was the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) - Title of this train; he clenched his fists and sneered: “Kill her, and we can upgrade our carriages!”
“This way our strength can also become stronger, and sooner or later we’ll break through the First Station and leave this wretched place!”
Inside the carriage behind the four people were six employees already fully prepared.
However, apart from a seemingly unintelligent wild ox, the remaining employees were all humanoid, exuding an eerie, dark aura.
At this moment, the woman at the very front, observing with binoculars, suddenly exclaimed in surprise: “Oh, the other party seems to have discovered us, but…”
“What? Did the train move?” Wen Ge immediately frowned, making a move as if to return to the driver’s cabin to change the train’s trajectory.
But before he could turn around, the woman’s words came again.
“The train didn’t move, but that girl is standing on the roof, staring intently at us, as if she has already discovered us.”
After speaking, the woman immediately put down her binoculars; the cold gaze from the other party just now made her feel a shiver, and she dared not meet her eyes again.
She always felt uneasy in her heart but couldn’t figure out why.
Upon hearing this, the three people immediately looked indifferent; instead, Wen Ge and another man successively revealed a sinister smile.
“It’s even a girl, Jie Jie Jie!”
The maximum distance between the two sides was only 10km; at full speed, a collision would occur after five minutes.
At this moment, Bai Cheng dared not delay for a second and had already pulled down the control lever.
It still took time for the train to start and accelerate; even five minutes, she wasn’t sure if it would be enough.
Although the train slowly began to move, Bai Cheng’s heart was still pounding.
But then, she discovered that the other party had also accelerated.
Their train’s maximum speed was actually more than 60km/h!
This meant that it wouldn’t even take five minutes for the two trains to collide.
“Move, you dead train!” This time, Bai Cheng was truly anxious.
The Crimson Flame beside her was also fully /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ concentrated, ready for battle.
“Miss, I will take you to avoid the impact first; the train’s durability should be enough to withstand the shock.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Cheng’s heart sank even further.
This undoubtedly meant that in the Crimson Flame’s judgment, her train could not avoid this collision; the only way was to endure it.
Bai Cheng looked at the time again, unwilling to give up: 14:56.
Only four minutes remained until the Silent Night descended; it was clearly too late!
Moreover, even if the Silent Night arrived, whether those tree trunks could stop the other party’s reinforced train front was another matter entirely.
Bai Cheng looked out the window again; the approaching train was rapidly moving, constantly enlarging in her vision, almost within reach!
But now, her train’s speed was less than twenty kilometers per hour; according to trajectory prediction, the other party’s vehicle would hit the rear of her carriage precisely.
However, Zi Yuan, who was on the roof, had already opened her eyes.
Watching the constantly approaching train in the distance, she slowly stood up and took her stance.
The blade was unsheathed, revealing a cold light in the twilight, and the exquisitely carved Kite pattern also shimmered with scorching purple energy at this moment.
Zi Yuan squatted slightly, adopting a horse stance, while holding her left hand horizontally in front of her.
At this moment, the surrounding air stopped flowing, and time seemed to stand still.
Her azure eyes looked through the blade, and before her, there was only the approaching train.
Zi Yuan took a deep breath, simultaneously raising her right hand and tightly gripping her left wrist.
Just as the train approached, she moved.
Zi Yuan suddenly gathered strength, and the roof immediately caved in due to the terrifying explosive force, followed by a loud bang.
【Durability -6%!】
Bai Cheng inside the train was instantly stunned, and even the Infinite Marauderss on the opposite train were simultaneously frozen in place.
The next second, Zi Yuan instantly descended from the sky, a piercing blade hum reverberating, and a massive purple blade light instantly slashed towards the train in front of her.
Buzz—
A white line quickly connected the entire train, and then this steel behemoth was suddenly split in two!
