Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 195 - 190 Surrounding

Boom!

Under the black night, the sky suddenly split open, a silver lightning tearing through the darkness, echoing thunderously in the clouds on the horizon.

A torrential downpour followed.

At the cargo station of Rain Town, a black armored giant train called Infinity was parked, and on the platform, many figures appeared eerily.

They stood motionless in the rain, whether male or female, old or young, all staring at the train.

This scene made those on the train feel chills down their spine.

Because although the people outside looked almost identical to ordinary humans, everyone could sense a cold deathly aura, utterly devoid of warmth. Some of their skin had unnatural wrinkles, while others were stretched too tight, exposing strange protrusions.

These ’people’ gazed at Infinity, and gradually started to smile, revealing a bizarre and eerie grin.

On Infinity, everyone watched these suddenly appearing figures, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

Raindrops incessantly hit the armoured vehicle body, emitting a humming sound.

Lin Xian sensed something amiss and subtly signaled the others, KIKI, Chen Sixuan, Shu Qin, and the others understood his intention.

Then Lin Xian slowly raised his right hand, making a gesture to prepare to clench his fist.

At this moment, the motionless people outside simultaneously opened their mouths wide. Underneath the seemingly ordinary human faces were bloodthirsty jaws filled with sharp teeth, and numerous red tentacles emerged from their throats.

"Go!" Lin Xian shouted, clenching his fist.

Bang!

Infinity trembled instantly, as Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart operated, the nuclear power electric locomotive’s engine started to hum, and the gas turbine began to roar.

Woo~

The train started at once, Lin Xian shouted: "Grab weapons, prepare for battle!"

KIKI was the first to act, teeth clenched, rushing forward with her superpower, pushing with full force!

Boom!

A massive shock wave exploded, forming a vacuum area in the torrential rain, scattering the crowd on the platform.

The others didn’t hesitate. Shu Qin led people running straight towards the rear carriage, while Sha Sha and the others grabbed guns and ran to Carriages 2 and 5 respectively.

Thump thump thump!

Before the train could speed up, numerous pseudo-humans burst from the darkness, moving extremely fast, quickly climbing onto the train, their tentacles gripping the armor, then extending claws and starting to tear at the armored panels frantically.

A fat pseudo-human with dissolved blood-soaked skin slowly crawled onto Carriage 3’s roof; red parasites flowed down from the flesh like liquid, and then started drilling through the roof armor’s seam textures, gnawing at the roof’s skin.

Rustle rustle rustle.

Fortunately, Carriages 3 and 4 are Cole Type-3 Biological Science research compartments, built to high specifications with good airtightness. Compared to other compartments, there are no gaps for them to drill into, so those red worms could only frantically gnaw at the outer metal, making an eerie rustling sound.

Ding Junyi listened to the enormous commotion on the roof, her gaze fixed on the glowing red Hell Black Chrysanthemum, with an ever-changing expression, as if contemplating something.

As the train left the cargo station, numerous pseudo-humans clung to the car, Chen Sixuan stood in the cockpit, her expression urgent.

"Lin Xian, it’s night now, if we go out, wouldn’t it be...?"

"I know." Lin Xian replied grimly, "I reckon our disaster plant must have drawn their attention; there’s no other option."

With dark abnormalities blocking the front, pseudo-humans chasing behind, and the biological threat of the lantern-flowered entity in the town surely considerable, Lin Xian was in a difficult situation. However, the pseudo-human invasion incident was truly terrifying, for a moment he even feared KIKI was dead; no time to ponder more, he could only focus on escaping.

Boom!

In the carriage behind, exhausted KIKI ran towards Carriage 3, directly performing a Shock Wave on the roof.

In an instant, those red parasites were swept away, and the fat pseudo-human with dissolved skin was shattered into milky corpse fluid, spilling onto the rain-soaked track, bones rolling off the roof.

"Thank you." Ding Junyi said to her.

KIKI took a breath, shook her hand, then turned and ran towards the cockpit.

Having spent most of her energy at the chemical plant, added to her exhaustion in the cinema earlier, KIKI was extremely worn out now. Yet, as the train plunged into the night, she must stay focused, for last night’s situation might repeat!

Woo~

Telekinesis pushed away two pseudo-humans at the front, dropping them onto the track to be instantly crushed by the wheels.

"Lin Xian, if we go out, there’ll definitely be a lot of monsters!" KIKI ran over, exclaiming.

"I know." Lin Xian glanced at the pale KIKI, "I’ve equipped the weapon station with ammo, if surrounded later, find the right moment to blast a path!"

KIKI reacted at this, nodding her head: "Oh right, I almost forgot, I’ll deploy right away."

Inside the cockpit, Chen Sixuan stared into the darkness ahead: "We’ll reach the main track in 10 minutes, but not sure if those things will follow us out of the town’s range."

"If this town’s range is indeed the lantern monsters’ territory, then they probably won’t continue chasing."

Lin Xian commented, "But these dark creatures are unpredictable; as things stand, our No. 1 Blood Calamity Disaster Plant surely has some unique attraction to these pseudo-human parasites, so we must prepare for the worst."

Chen Sixuan frowned slightly: "It sounds like the monster at the chemical plant you mentioned is the mother body of these pseudo-human parasites?"

"It must be!" freēnovelkiss.com

KIKI tapping her chest to calm down, said: "Sister Chen, you should’ve seen how many skinned flesh-and-bone humanoid remains were in the pool at that chemical plant; it was truly terrifying."

Lin Xian nodded: "Indeed, that thing can control these flesh-and-bone humanoids with parasites to pursue us, indicating the town’s pseudo-humans are tied to that monster, very likely the mother body!"

Ka-boom!

In the urgency, the train suddenly jolted, like being pulled by something; the huge inertia made the three in the cockpit stumble almost falling.

KIKI reacted promptly, using telekinesis to stabilize the trio, preventing them from falling onto the console.

"What’s happening behind?!"

Lin Xian immediately shouted into the intercom.

"Brother Lin, there’s a snake!" Sha Sha yelled through the intercom.

Boom~

Before realizing it, the headlights illuminated the woods revealing a massive cylindrical black shadow quickly slithering into darkness. Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan saw it, a monster as thick as a barrel, unclear whether tentacle or snake, also uncertain of its length.

"Have we already left the town’s area??" KIKI exclaimed.

Ratatat, bang bang bang!

Gunfire exploded in the night, the rear cars are already in a firefight!

Ugh!

Screech!~

Almost simultaneously, terrifying screams resonated in the night’s valley.

Thump thump thump, the pseudo-humans climbing outside the rear compartments wouldn’t leave, continuously crawling towards the roof, forwards, while aiming tentacles deep inside the illuminated grill armor plating.

"They’re indeed coming!" Lin Xian’s expression tightened, "Accelerate, charge through!"

Just as he prepared to accelerate fully, Ding Junyi in white attire quickly approached, supporting herself against the corridor wall and solemnly said to Lin Xian

"Lin Xian, I strongly suggest we stop going forward, or else..."

"It might hasten our demise!"
