Chapter 152 Train Crossing Borders
Everyone was frightened. They didn't know why they appeared here, and they didn't know what those things were. They just ran backwards with all their strength. Even so, the cursed creatures still flew forward one after another, blazing. Fireballs ignited human bodies one after another.
"...How did we enter the gray world?! We were obviously just walking along the railway tracks normally..."
"Where are the rails? Why are the rails missing? How should we get back?"
"So hot... so hot!"
"We finally escaped from District 3... We haven't reached Aurora City yet, are we going to die here??"
"..."
The desire to survive occupies everyone's mind, but their speed cannot be compared with those tiny cursed creatures. Those creatures may jump out of the ice under their feet at any time, and it is basically inevitable to avoid them.
One after another, the figures turned into fireballs and fell down, but they did not die immediately. Instead, they continued to struggle and howl in the flames and turned into ashes. Extreme fear spread crazily among the crowd.
Boss Xu hugged the crying child and stumbled back. The firelight continued to illuminate his face, and despair could not be concealed in his pupils.
"Dad, are we going to die?"
"No...Dad won't let you die!"
Boss Xu gritted his teeth and kept squeezing out the last of his strength. A black cursed creature suddenly jumped out from the reflection of the ice on the side and flew past his body. Boss Xu exclaimed and hugged the child. The fireball exploded behind him instantly, sending his whole body flying away.
Boss Xu's clothes were burned to ashes, and the skin on his back was burnt black. He screamed, gritted his teeth, struggled to stand up from the ground, and continued to run forward.
In front of him was the endless gray sky. There was no shelter or route to leave on the desolate ice field. Ripples rippled from the reflection of the ice, as if their retreat was completely blocked.
There was deep despair in Boss Xu's eyes.
At this moment, a dazzling headlight suddenly lit up from the ice beneath my feet, like an approaching sun. A fast-moving train suddenly crashed through the intersection of reality and the gray world, appearing out of thin air. On this ice sheet!
boom--! !
The hum of steam broke the silence on the ice field. The huge car body roared as it crashed into the air. The hard wheels crushed three incandescent creatures that were about to break out. A raging fire started from the bottom of the carriage, leaving a long string of flames on the ice field. trajectory.
The sudden appearance of the train happened to be between the fleeing people and the cursed creatures, like a black dividing line between life and death. The screech of brakes sounded on the ice field, and dazzling firelight burst out from the surface of the ice field.
All the residents were stunned. They stared blankly at the moving train. Above the front of the train, a figure in a coat stood in front of the gushing steam, facing the rising cursed creatures. Pull the trigger.
Chen Ling? !
Seeing that familiar face, everyone froze in place, as if they were dreaming. They saw Chen Ling driving a car roaring away not long ago, but why did he come back with a complete train in the blink of an eye? ?
boom--!
This shot directly transformed several cursed creatures gathered together into nothingness. As the train slowed down slowly, the figure calmly spoke:
"Why are you still hanging around? Get in the car."
At the door of the carriage, a five or six-year-old girl stuck her head out and waved to everyone. Only then did everyone react and scramble to get into the carriage.
Chen Ling stood at the front of the car, her eyes falling on the creatures that were constantly beating on the reflection of the ice field, and her eyes narrowed slightly...
The next moment, he jumped out of the front of the car lightly and rushed straight towards the nearest creature.
Sensing Chen Ling's approach, the surrounding cursed creatures surrounded him at the same time. They kept jumping in the ice field and reflection, like schools of fish surging on the sea.
Chen Ling did not use the [Tribunal] this time. Instead, he relied on his own speed to catch a cursed creature flying toward him like lightning. Only when he held the thing in his hand did Chen Ling see its appearance clearly.
This is like a miniature eel, about the size of a palm and as thick as a finger. Its surface is covered with mysterious black spells, which are basically the same as those on the seaweed that Chen Ling saw on the frozen seaside before...
"Another curse?" Chen Ling frowned unconsciously, "These eels and the disaster in the frozen sea... are they from the same source?"
Chen Ling held the eel in one hand and took out his gun with lightning speed to shoot at several other eels flying towards them. With the blessing of [Secret Eye], Chen Ling's shooting skills were terrifyingly accurate, and he could kill them with just a few shots. All these eels collapsed, and the dazzling fireball exploded in mid-air at the same time, and then disappeared into nothingness like fireworks.
"As long as you are attacked, you will self-destruct...haven't you even reached the first level?"
Chen Ling quickly figured out the characteristics of this eel. He held the only "experiment" in his hand and was about to turn around and get in the car. He suddenly caught a glimpse of the ice field at his feet and stopped.
He stood on the ice sheet and slowly squatted down. Ripples rippled from the surface of the ice, like the surface of the sea... And deep in the reflection under the ice, a large number of dense black shadows were moving toward a person. They surged in different directions, like migrating fish in the deep sea.
These black shadows were made up of countless eels with this curse. Chen Ling looked along the direction in which they were moving, her brows getting tighter and tighter.
"Aurora City...all their actions have goals?"
Chen Ling had always thought that disasters were like alien "beasts" growing in the gray world, with different characteristics and irregular behaviors. But the scene in front of him made him change his mind...the fish... The target is directed at Aurora City. Is it the instinct to live in groups, or is there something guiding them?
Chen Ling didn't have time to think about it, because a large number of eels seemed to have noticed something strange here, and began to change direction from the large army and attack. Chen Ling turned back to the carriage and spoke to Zhao Yi in the control room:
"Go quickly."
"Which direction?"
"Do you see the reflection of the railroad tracks under that ice sheet? That's the intersection, go there."
The train never stopped, but drove slowly on the ice field to make it easier for residents to get on the train. As Chen Ling gave an order, the steam hummed again, and the speed quickly increased, rushing towards the reflection that Chen Ling was pointing at. .
As the shadow of the front of the car appeared on the surface of the ice sheet, the intersection of the two worlds merged again. The train suddenly drove from the gray world back to the real world. Everyone felt that the world was spinning for a while, and the leaden sky was replaced by dim sunlight, desolate The familiar railroad tracks reappeared on the land.
"Except for Aurora City, the intersection of gray realms in other places is becoming more and more serious... If this situation continues, it won't be long before there are no boundaries between the two worlds."
Chen Ling looked at the unremarkable piece of ice behind the train and murmured to herself.
