Chapter 156 The train from the snow
Buzz buzz—! !
The roaring whistle came from outside the city, like a thunder exploding in the wind and snow!
In front of the city gate of Aurora City, the law enforcement officer who was resting against the wall suddenly came back to his senses and looked towards the end of the horizon.
The broken snow was swept up into the sky by the strong wind. In the misty wind and snow, a black spot appeared out of thin air. Behind the black spot, it was like an endless wave of disaster!
"That's..." The law enforcement officer hurriedly took out the binoculars from his arms and looked in that direction. He stayed where he was, "...this...how is this possible?!"
He suddenly pressed the button of the communicator and shouted amidst the whining wind and snow and the whistle:
"Headquarters! This is Southwest Gate 4!! This is Southwest Gate 4!!"
"I...I saw a train!!"
…
at the same time.
On the street not far from the city wall, everyone who was marching and shouting was stunned at the same time, turning their heads to look in the direction of the sound, their eyes full of confusion and astonishment.
"The sound of the train? Did I hear it wrong?"
"It came from outside the wall..."
"Impossible. Isn't the outside of the wall already occupied by the Gray Realm? Where did the whistle come from?"
"I remember that there are no railroad tracks outside the city gate in this direction...how can there be a train?"
"..."
Everyone was whispering in confusion. At this moment, figures in black windbreakers rushed towards the city wall on that side like lightning. The law enforcers who were originally maintaining order on the streets seemed to have received some kind of order. , get closer there quickly!
These people looked at each other and knew that something was probably going on outside the city wall. They followed the law enforcers towards the city wall, but as soon as they passed through the White Pigeon Square, they were stopped by the law enforcement officers.
Yellow police cordons were quickly pulled up to block everyone in front of the square. Behind the cordons were densely packed law enforcement officers and a law enforcement officer wearing a three-striped windbreaker.
"The area ahead has been sealed off and no one is allowed to approach." The law enforcement officer said solemnly with a straight face.
"Why don't you let us pass?!"
"Yes, these are public areas, how can you just seal them off?"
"Something must have happened outside the city walls... We have the right to know the truth!"
"..."
The two figures carrying cameras squeezed through the crowd, ignored the cordon, and bent down to enter. Before they could even take two steps, they were stopped by several law enforcers.
"I am Wen Shilin, a reporter from Aurora Daily. According to the laws of Aurora City, I have the right to act independently as a media. Even law enforcement officers have no right to interfere with my actions... Get out of my way." Wen Shilin took something from his arms. He took out his press pass and said seriously.
Several law enforcers looked at each other and were a little at a loss, but they still did not move away under the order and still stopped in front of him.
Seeing this, Wen Shilin frowned unconsciously and said in a low voice:
"Aurora City established the law enforcement system three hundred years ago with the purpose of better maintaining order in Aurora City. In order to prevent law enforcement officers from abusing their private rights, private media are also given the right to monitor and report freely, which is equal to your absolute law enforcement rights. Level... Don't say it's just you, even if the chief law enforcement officer [Tan Xin] comes, he has no right to stop me here!
Are you going against the laws of Aurora City? "
Hearing these words, the expressions of the law enforcers changed a bit. The three-striped law enforcement officer walked straight over and shook his head helplessly when he saw Wen Shilin's serious and determined face.
"...Forget it, let him in."
As the law enforcers in front of him retreated, Wen Shilin glared at them, then hurried toward the city wall with his camera on his shoulder.
The location of White Pigeon Square is just behind Gate No. 4 in the southwest. There is only a five to six hundred meter long straight road between the two. Wen Shilin and his assistants walked straight across the road and onto the city wall. Many law enforcement officers saw them along the way. They all wanted to stop them, but after seeing the press pass on the other person's chest, they let them leave.
"Start recording." Wen Shilin took out a brown notebook and a golden pen from his arms.
As his voice fell, the pen stood up automatically and started writing quickly.
"At 3:42 in the afternoon, what sounded like a siren was heard outside the southwest wall of Aurora City. Law enforcement officers and enforcers quickly mobilized to blockade the area near the city gate. The author passed through the blockade and climbed onto the city wall to explore the truth about the changes outside the city. …”
Wen Shilin stepped onto the city wall and looked out from the height of the city wall. When his eyes fell on the end of the horizon, his pupils shrank slightly!
His voice stopped abruptly.
In the wind and snow, densely packed black creatures crawled out from the edge of the gray world, like surging black waves overwhelmingly rushing here, and between the rushing waves, a train roared thrillingly Be at the forefront!
It was a charred train whose entire body was burned. Its huge body crushed countless black creatures into pieces. Raging fire surged on its wheels. From a distance, it looked like it had stepped on fire from the gray world. The steel behemoth!
The rails paved with flames burned wildly on the ice field, and on the dark front of the car, a bloody coat made a hunting sound.
Wen Shilin was stunned. He couldn't describe this scene in words for a while. He didn't know how the train traveled on the ice field without tracks, and he didn't know why it could crash out of the gray world. It The appearance on this dead and desperate ice field seems like a miracle!
boom!
The spotlight above the camera splashed, and the assistant on the side had engraved this scene on the film forever. Only then did Wen Shilin come back to his senses and asked the law enforcement officer beside him blankly.
"What's going on with this car?"
Wuwen law enforcement officer was too lazy to answer Wen Shilin. They had no obligation to cooperate with the reporter's investigation. He turned and walked towards the other side of the city wall. At the same time, a law enforcement officer hurried towards him.
"Checked it out! That train was the train used by the Fire Usurper at that time. It was suspected to be fused with a certain sacrificial artifact and was temporarily stranded in Winter Harbor."
"Where's the man in the car? Have you checked?"
"Checked." The law enforcer pulled out a file, and the photo was exactly on Chen Ling's face. "The mastermind behind the annihilation of the Bing Dao Ancient Treasures, a heretic who had infiltrated the law enforcement system, was Chen Ling, the former law enforcement officer of the third district."
"Chen Ling..." Wuwen Law Enforcement Officer muttered the name.
"It's amazing." Another law enforcer stared blankly at the rapidly approaching steel train, "It has been a full twenty hours since the aurora disappeared. It stands to reason that disasters are everywhere outside the city now... He How did you escape from the gray world?"
"He's still approaching Aurora City? What on earth does he want to do??"
