Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 78 - 74 Disturbance (Second release, seeking monthly passes)

Chapter 78: Chapter 74 Disturbance (Second release, seeking monthly passes)

Yuchi Platform, the "Infinity" huddled quietly on the rails.

Before dawn, a fierce wind began to blow through the night, accompanied by snow, whistling through the gaps in the train’s armor.

In the carriage, Lou Shasha stood with her gun, her face tense and uneasy as she waited, her cheeks red with cold, intermittently observing the situation outside the train.

Buzz~

At this moment, the lights inside the 5th carriage dimmed for a brief moment, then returned to normal.

Lou Shasha looked up, startled, then she tilted her head and glanced at the distant carriages.

Near the driver’s cab, Chen Sixuan stood motionless, seemingly on guard just like her.

To save power, the warm air system inside the carriage had been turned off, and the temperature both inside and outside was now even lower. Shasha breathed onto her gun-holding hand, warming it up, then checked out the far carriages again.

"Sister Chen, are you cold?"

For some reason, Shasha felt a bit scared; she picked up the walkie-talkie to call out to Chen Sixuan.

"Ka... A little, how about you?"

Chen Sixuan’s voice came through the walkie-talkie. She glanced at the time, realizing it would be light soon, and felt a little relief in her heart.

"My hands are about to freeze off," said Shasha.

"Ka... Then I’ll bring you a pair of gloves; I managed to collect a pair earlier."

"Okay."

Shasha rubbed her hands together; she was truly a bit panicked about the cold.

But when she turned her head, she didn’t see Chen Sixuan moving from the distant driver’s cab, as if she hadn’t prepared to fetch the gloves and was still standing motionless.

A chill went down Shasha’s spine, and with some courage, she spoke into the walkie-talkie again,

"Sister Chen, are you coming over?"

No response.

She asked again, "Sister Chen, are you coming over?"

"I’m already here, aren’t I right behind you?"

This voice was unfamiliar and did not come from the walkie-talkie.

It was coming from behind her...

Shasha turned pale with fear, swiftly raising her gun and turning around.

But there was nothing behind her.

Within the 5th carriage, filled with various cold tools and storage racks.

"What’s going on?"

Shasha breathed rapidly at this moment, as if she could hear her own heartbeat, her eyes widened as she scrutinized the surroundings of the carriage.

No one was there.

The only sound within the entire space was her breathing echoing.

Her heartbeat intensified, she looked towards the narrow passageway of the carriage; the distance of a couple of hundred meters between the carriages seemed unfathomably distant at this moment.

At the far end, the figure of Chen Sixuan still stood there, only now, the figure had turned to face her directly.

As if it was gazing at her.

"Sister Chen."

Shasha summoned her courage and shouted loudly.

The figure did not react.

At this moment, a light illuminated outside the platform, accompanied by the sound of an off-road vehicle’s engine; Shasha’s heart tightened, she knew it was Lin Xian and the others returning, and quickly turned to look out the window.

But just as she turned her head, a terrifying ghostly face appeared outside the window!

"Screams"

Shasha was so frightened that she stumbled and sat down on the ground, and the next instant, the lights inside the carriage abruptly went out.

The entire train plunged into darkness.

Click!

Shasha quickly took out her flashlight; the beam turned on, and she shone it towards the window, but the terrible figure had disappeared without a trace, and there was nothing to be seen all around.

Still reeling from the fright, she quickly got up from the ground.

At this time, the lights inside the carriage came back on, and Chen Sixuan’s shout came from afar.

"Shasha, they’re back, open the door quickly."

With her mind still blank, Lou Shasha stared blankly at the narrow carriage, it took her a moment to come back to her senses, then she nodded and got up to press the switch for the tailboard.

Whoo~

The steel tailboard of Carriage No. 5 slowly descended.

Outside, Building drove the off-road vehicle directly onto the trailer board, followed by a tide-like swarm of zombies.

Tat-tat-tat-tat!

Lin Xian, who was on the co-driver’s seat, started the train the moment he got off, and at the same time, kept firing at the incoming horde of zombies behind him.

Meanwhile, Chen Sixuan in front also opened the throttle of the electric locomotive, and the entire heavy train began to roar to life.

Lou Shasha also stood up and began to provide fire support, boom, an artillery shell exploded among the horde of zombies, flames filled the sky, and the violent shock wave instantly blew away more than a dozen zombies.

Building tightened his ankle chains and opened fire with Lin Xian as they retreated into the carriage while shooting.

Afterward, the tailboard rose, and the train began to accelerate.

"Brother Lin, there’s something strange on the train!"

As soon as they boarded, Sha Sha told Lin Xian with a tense face.

"On the train?"

Lin Xian’s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly handed the metal box in his hand to Sha Sha, "Quick, see if you can receive official messages from the Daluo Mountain area."

If they sped up the escape, it was likely that they would not have enough time to switch to the southern line, and he had to be prepared.

"Oh, oh!" Sha Sha obediently nodded.

Meanwhile, Lin Xian didn’t stop for a moment and ran towards the front car.

"Teacher Chen!"

The darkness seemed to thicken, making the night vision even heavier.

Lin Xian rushed into the driver’s cabin and found Chen Sixuan, pale-faced, pointing ahead, "Lin Xian, look!"

In front of the Infinity’s tracks stood a strange figure.

The creature had extremely long limbs and was covered in white, very similar to the White Giant Monster encountered before.

Seeing the monster, Lin Xian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, with strange occurrences happening often, they must have disturbed quite a few hidden beings in the darkness.

He suddenly realized that tonight’s hunt was a very irrational act.

"Forget it, burst through!"

With no retreat, Lin Xian had to fully engage Mechanical Heart, hoping the upgraded armor would hold up!

"Lin Xian!"

As the train accelerated, dashing towards the monster, Chen Sixuan’s eyes trembled with fright and she shouted.

"Hold on tight!"

Lin Xian pinned Chen Sixuan down and also lowered his head, resigning to let the train charge ahead!

Thump, rumble~

The Infinity, equipped with Ice-breaking Shield, collided head-on with some giant object, making a rumbling sound, then all of a sudden, the train’s lights began to flicker violently, as if subjected to intense electromagnetic interference.

Zzz-zzz...

Realizing the train’s armor remained intact and apparently undamaged, Lin Xian lifted his head and found that the train’s headlights seemed to be swallowed by darkness, only able to see a distance of about twenty meters.

On the driving radar, it was all noise, impossible to discern road conditions.

Beep beep... beep beep

"Lin Xian, I can’t see anything ahead."

Chen Sixuan also stood up, her face filled with dread as she looked at the driving radar, "Should we stop?"

The prospect of derailment cast a shadow over everyone’s hearts. At this moment, KIKI was still unconscious from serious injuries, the road conditions ahead were unclear, and Lin Xian’s brow furrowed tightly.

"Teacher Chen, how far out of Yuchi Station will we find a road bridge or tunnel?"

Chen Sixuan’s complexion shifted, hastily explaining,

"About thirteen kilometers away, we will enter a tunnel."

"Then let’s break through for ten kilometers before stopping!"

He looked at the time, and if his prediction was correct, there were about ten minutes left until dawn, and by now they had already stirred up something in Yuchi – it was no longer possible to stay put.

But ahead lay pitch darkness, and after careful consideration, he could only grit his teeth and race on the track in the dark, it would be alright as long as they did not enter tunnels or bridges; even if they derailed, they might not lose their lives!

Sha Sha, swaying from side to side, ran from the Corridor towards Carriage No. 2. She listened to Lin Xian’s arrangement while picking up the radio and watching over KIKI.

Bang bang bang!

In the darkness, the exterior walls of several carriages were being bombarded with various climbing and scratching noises, as if numerous unknown entities were attacking the train in the night.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Inside the carriage, Lin Xian yelled towards the far end.

A chilling eeriness began to spread within the carriage.
