49 Chapter - Then I’Ll Choose It Myself

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

The train cars, severed into two, began to tilt to either side, and the Infinite Marauderss inside were shocked, their mouths agape.

Their pupils constricted, their faces filled with disbelief.

As for the employees, there was only fear!

Rumble—!

Before their train could collide with Bai Cheng's, it disintegrated and lost its support, plummeting heavily into the mud on both sides.

Zi Yuan, falling with the momentum, landed steadily on an open space not far away.

It all happened so fast that Bai Cheng didn't even have time to react.

At this moment, she too stood inside her train, staring dumbfounded at everything outside the window.

"The train... the train was cut in half?!"

Chi Yan was equally astonished; if he were in their shoes, he couldn't imagine any way to stop the impact of the opposing train.

But Zi Yuan's strength clearly didn't exceed his expectations.

So Chi Yan was only slightly surprised before turning around and pulling down the train's brake lever.

Now that the crisis was resolved, there was naturally no need for the train to continue moving forward.

As for the Infinite Marauderss lying on the ground in disarray, they weren't even considered a threat.

Wen Ge was covered in mud from head to toe; he struggled to his feet, the terror in his eyes not yet receded.

"How the hell is this possible!"

Even with the facts laid bare before him, he still couldn't believe it.

Muddy Swamp was the first terrain after passing through First Station; the survivors traveling here had only just left the novice stage.

Even if this person in front of him had a second train car, even if she developed quickly and was the first in the entire server, still...

But how the hell could she cut a train in half with one strike?!

He had never heard of such a thing; it completely defied his understanding!

The others also struggled painfully to get up from the ground; they were all still in the ordinary human stage, and the train's destruction caused significant injuries to everyone.

But due to the protection of their respective employees and the cushioning effect of the swampy terrain, they didn't lose their lives.

One of the women turned to look at Zi Yuan, who stood silently holding her blade, her face filled with terror: "What, what in the world is that thing?!"

Another man and woman were also too frightened to speak; they had already felt the threat of death and ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) knew they were done for!

The employees of the few people also gathered around at this time; having lost their train, they could only choose to go all out now.

Soon, the few people saw the train in front of them slowly come to a stop.

Then the train doors opened, and two people stepped out.

The girl was in front, and the big simpleton stood respectfully behind her.

At this moment, Wen Ge's pupils constricted, and he finally noticed that Bai Cheng was wearing modern clothing; he looked back at the standing Zi Yuan, his expression becoming even more certain.

He had originally thought that this survivor had some life-saving item, but now it seemed that the one who had just attacked was only one of her employees!

What kind of employee could have such strength?

Had the rules changed?

At this moment, Bai Cheng naturally didn't know about the brainstorming happening in the minds of the people in front of her.

Of course, she didn't care either.

As Bai Cheng slowly moved forward, the few people were so scared that they retreated repeatedly.

Their employees all blocked in front of them, and Bai Cheng also recognized these guys.

Aside from the dead wild ox, the five opposing employees in front of them were two Corpse Ghouls, two Skeletons, and one Wraith, all products of the Muddy Swamp.

Aside from the Corpse Ghoul and Skeleton, although Bai Cheng hadn't seen them with her own eyes, the patterns on these people's employee cards were somewhat different from what she had obtained.

As for the Wraith, Bai Cheng had seen it with her own eyes, which made her even more certain.

The Wraith in front of her was not emitting black mist, but red mist, looking as if it had mutated.

But she didn't dwell on it too much, guessing that this might be a change that occurred after becoming an employee.

"Is anyone willing to talk to me more?" Bai Cheng suddenly said something that left everyone bewildered.

The four did not respond, only nervously facing a formidable enemy.

Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow; she had no patience.

"Then I'll just choose myself." After saying that, she took a step back, "Chi Yan."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yan immediately stepped forward, stomping out a crimson ring of fire.

The red light dispelled the surrounding darkness and also reflected the fearful faces of the four, rapidly expanding in their pupils.

Instantly, as soon as these few employees made a move, the ring of fire engulfed them, along with their owners behind them.

Without even having time to let out a scream, everyone was sent flying by the huge impact, completely silenced.

Flames crackled on the corpses, and the sole remaining woman was utterly terrified.

She dropped to her knees with a thud, as if losing all her strength, tears and snot streaming down her face.

"Don't... don't kill me, please!"

"I ask, you answer," Bai Cheng said with a frown, completely disregarding whether the other party responded.

"How did you Infinite Marauderss come to be?"

The woman froze when she heard this, then looked up and said, "If I tell you, will you not kill me?"

Bai Cheng said in a deep voice, "You have no right to bargain."

"I can't say, I can't say!" The woman quickly explained, "Do you have paper and a pen? I can write it down for you!"

Bai Cheng's brows furrowed even deeper; in this survival world, it was already good enough to just live comfortably, how could there be paper and a pen?

The woman obviously knew the answer too; she looked around, then crawled on her knees to a relatively dry open space, picked up a stone, and prepared to write on it.

However, as soon as she wrote one character, her entire body suddenly stiffened, then she widened her eyes and fell to the ground.

"Miss, she's dead," Chi Yan reminded her.

Bai Cheng immediately felt speechless and couldn't help but complain, "What the hell, a confidentiality agreement?"

She came to the woman's corpse; the small, crooked grooves formed by the mud on the ground formed a single character.

"Xi?" Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow, "System?"

She suddenly remembered why the Infinite Marauders she had captured at First Station had been so unyielding when she tried to interrogate him.

"It seems they became Infinite Marauderss because of the system, but for some reason, they can't speak about it?"

Because of Chi Yan's explanation, Bai Cheng was very sure that these people, like her, were outsiders.

"This damn system is playing mysterious."

However, she had basically figured out the reason.

If they died, they died; Bai Cheng was more concerned now that killing Infinite Marauderss would yield train cores.

She was now more eager to check her spoils of war.

Turning around to return to the train, Zi Yuan was still standing there blankly.

Bai Cheng excitedly patted her head, "Holy crap, that was so cool! Next time tell me earlier, I almost thought we were going to crash!"

Zi Yuan froze, biting her lip tightly, even her toes tensed; a blush rose on her fair little face, and it took her several seconds to react.

"Yes... yes, Miss."

Upon returning to the train, Bai Cheng had originally intended to check the loot information on the screen.

But what met her eyes were four blue employee cards!
