Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 66 - 62: Rooftop Car Battle

On the other side, Lin Xian braved the fierce wind on the roof of the train and swiftly charged towards the front carriages; he was aware that Tang Hai had previously been the station master of North Bay Station and was quite familiar with trains, suspecting that the sabotage of the railway tracks was certainly his deliberate ’good deed’!

Thump, thump, thump!

As Lin Xian trod along the train roof, just as he prepared to jump from carriage 3 to carriage 2, a white figure suddenly flashed at the connection of the carriages. His hair stood on end, and without a second thought, he conjured an Ice Shield in front of him.

Pfft!

A slender perforation pierced through, Lin Xian abruptly turned around, only to startlingly discover a thin claw swiping past his chest, taking some debris along with it.

That was close!

"Die!!!"

Tang Hai let out a bizarre yell, releasing a sound that was now half-human, half-monster. With a sweep of his seemingly frail arm, tremendous strength sliced through the Ice Shield like a hot knife through butter, aiming straight for Lin Xian’s throat.

"Old fart, can’t even die properly, let me help you!"

Lin Xian shouted angrily, feeling the fury ignited in his chest just thinking about how this guy set a trap to bury everyone on the train alive, and with KIKI’s life hanging in balance, he dodged the claw while slashing accurately at Tang Hai’s neck with one hand!

Ding!

But who knew, after evolving, Tang Hai’s skin was now tougher than the White Giant Monster’s; the Tungsten-Titanium Alloy Type I GK03 electric knife struck him, only to emit a metallic clang, with sparks flying and the massive force making Tang Hai stagger back repeatedly.

Yet, he seemed unconcerned about the blade at his throat, his face twisted into a savage grin as his claws, now blackened with nails, frantically scratched at Lin Xian’s body, while taunting,

"Hahaha... I should thank you! For making me this..."

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Lin Xian didn’t waste words with him, stepping back and picking up the automatic rifle to rain bullets on the Monster!

Before Tang Hai could finish his monologue, several bursts of bullets hit him, the massive kinetic energy knocking him around, bullet holes bleeding out in thinner areas, blood spraying.

"Dammit!"

He moved swiftly, receiving a few shots then quickly, lithely crawling to the side of the carriage, disappearing into the night like a ghost.

Lin Xian’s heart filled with doubt and surprise, wondering how such a physically enhanced superpower user like Building could be pierced by bullets, yet this guy’s defensive power was so strong?

Could it really be that he has evolved?

"Damn, neither human nor ghost-like, this bastard must be some failed evolution freak."

Hiss!

Just then, a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside Lin Xian as Tang Hai abruptly lunged forward, stretching out a hand with five fingers grotesquely elongating like whips. Lin Xian’s eyes flashed with alarm as he swung his blade horizontally in front of him, and with a "ding", the immense force of the hand direct hit sent Lin Xian reeling back, numbing his palms.

Missing his target, Tang Hai again retreated into the darkness.

What kind of Monster?! Fingers that can elongate?

Lin Xian stood atop the train, which was still racing powered by the Huanxing 7F electric locomotive on the "Infinity", the cold wind harsh on the roof as he continually guarded his surroundings with his gun.

Whoosh~

At that moment, he took rapid breaths trying to calm himself down while cursing internally.

Whether it’s an evolution error or not, according to KIKI, this creature had only just broken through the evolution level and was already this formidable. If it reached level three, level four, wouldn’t it be capable of flying to the heavens?

The Tang Hai just now was nearly a hybrid of half-human-half-corpse, his body covered in grey-white tough skin, with a few strands of degenerated hair on his head, looking utterly bizarre as if he was Gollum from The Magic Ring.

Swoosh!

The sound of something slicing through the air arose once again, Lin Xian was prepared this time, swiftly dodging to the side, aiming the gun directly at the source of the sound and unleashing the bullets in the magazine.

Dada dada! Dada dada!

But who knew, Tang Hai was cunning, aware that Lin Xian’s gun had limited bullets, he only used his elongating fingers to probe, then ducked back into the shadows.

Click~

As expected, the automatic rifle with only 30 bullets quickly ran out, Lin Xian frowned as a swooshing sound suddenly rose from behind.

"Out of bullets, huh!" At the same time, an eerie voice accompanied it.

Ding!

Lin Xian reacted swiftly, swinging the knife behind him and striking Tang Hai’s fingers, emitting a crisp sound.

The immense force almost made Lin Xian lose his balance, nearly failing to stand firm.

At this time, Tang Hai swaggered out from the shadows, sinisterly saying,

"Hehehe... impressive, right? You should consider yourself lucky, I hadn’t evolved that night, allowing you to live another day, now, it’s your turn to thank me."

"Thank your mom!"

Plop, plop, plop!

Lin Xian didn’t bother wasting words with him, brandishing his knife forward, and started firing several Wind Guns.

Huh?

Tang Hai seemed to sense a hidden threat in the air, tilted his head to dodge a wind gun, but received two hard hits to the chest, the force of the impact causing him to stagger backward.

"Dammit!!!"

Tang Hai cursed in a raspy androgynous voice, only then remembering that Lin Xian had a method of killing from a distance without using a gun. Instantly, his fingernails suddenly grew like pincers, gripping the roof of the car, his legs coiled, and then he burst out from his spot with such speed that he left footprints dented into the steel roof!

Ice Shield!

Seeing Lin Xian’s fierce attack, an ice shield quickly formed.

"Trash! What’s the use of this!?"

Bang!

Tang Hai cursed, turning into an oval white bullet, directly penetrating the ice shield Lin Xian had formed, not giving him any chance to escape.

Unknown to him, behind the ice shield, Lin Xian momentarily vanished in a ghostly blur, his Cold Blade disappearing, and then he vanished in the midst of drifting ice fragments.

Then!

Whoosh!

A fierce thunderous noise intermingled with Tang Hai in the air, producing a massive sonic boom.

Backflash!

"What?!"

Tang Hai screamed, his momentum unabated, rolling and clawing atop the train, leaving numerous metallic scratches, his expression drastically changed as he realized... half his face, along with his ear, was gone.

"Ah!!!"

Incredulously touching his cheek, blood profusely streamed down, instantly reddening his eyes, plunging him into frenzy.

"I’ll kill you, I will kill you!"

Purpurpur!

Obviously, Lin Xian in the midst of battle did not favor turn-based combat or useless chatter, giving Tang Hai no time to breathe. Immediately after Backflash, before even landing, several wind guns were shot.

Bang, bang, bang!

Tang Hai, unable to avoid, got his chest pierced, his whole body flying off the train roof into a pile of broken stones along the track.

"Aaaagh!!!"

The enraged Tang Hai, now completely irrational, disheveled and numb to pain, blood-soaked like a wild beast, frantically charged towards the moving train.

Boom!

Meanwhile, on the other side, the White Giant Monster pounced from carriage five towards the Building on the flatbed, its colossal size directly crushing the railway sleepers beneath, nearly causing subsequent carriages to derail.

The Building stepped back, picked up a broken leg chain from the car, and swung it fiercely.

The massive chain sounded like a metal whip in the air with a dull ’woosh’ and then viciously struck the White Giant Monster on the head.

Snap!

The force of the whip was immense, causing the monster’s head to tilt, and a horrifying gash appeared on its tough skin.

"Ughhh!!!!"

The White Giant Monster howled fiercely, using its huge size and long arms to try and swipe the Building off the train.

Before this enraged creature could act, its back suddenly exploded with intense fireworks!

Boom!

It turned out that Lou Shasha was holding an M36 artillery launcher; the young girl, although small and daring, managed to aim so accurately despite the perilous escape route she had encountered several grand scenes.

Taking this chance, the Building swung the chain around the monster’s neck, then he prepared to throw the other end under the rails, hoping to use the massive inertia from the train’s high speed to rip the monster’s head off.

But the White Giant Monster, with its swift speed, grabbed the chain before the Building could act, swinging itself around!

The Building couldn’t react in time, getting flung along with the chain and was about to fall off the train, but clenched his teeth and gripped the chain with one hand, swinging in the air and landing back on the top of carriage five.

"Brother, be careful!"

Lou Shasha, hearing a thud above her, immediately shouted worriedly.

Then, hearing footsteps above, knowing her brother wasn’t thrown off, she quickly reloaded, ready to fire again.

The White Giant Monster, pulling the chain from its neck, hearing Lou Shasha loading her gun, without dodging, charged again towards carriage five.

Thud!

This close-range shot, the artillery’s shock wave flung the petite Lou Shasha, and exploded on the monster’s feet, causing its lower half to get stuck at the connection of the flatbed, its upper torso reaching the roof, only to sweep its long claw downward towards the Building.

Boom! Another loud noise, the AC system on top of carriage five instantly shattered and caved in.
