Chapter 19: Roar, No Defense Broken
When they reached the Fifth Carriage, Su Huan’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and he abruptly looked up at the roof of the train.
Then he continued forward, and from the dim Storage Room came the sound of the motor operating.
Qi Xiao Ba’s figure emerged from the darkness.
Seeing Su Huan, he gently shook his head, indicating there was no danger.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from behind. Su Huan turned around to see Wan Xing with an anxious complexion.
“There are zombies on the roof!”
Su Huan and the other two looked up at the same time. There were two sounds in total: one was Wan Xing’s footsteps running inside the carriage, and the other was the friction sound on the roof.
That thing heard the sound and followed.
But there was no movement for a long time.
Su Huan stood sideways by the window and suddenly pulled open the curtain.
“Clang!”
A narrow sharp claw suddenly stabbed toward the car window, leaving a clear hole in the tempered glass. With the hole as the center, the entire piece of glass instantly shattered into white fragments, barely maintaining its basic shape.
Because the tip of that sharp claw was extremely thick, it was caught by the explosion-proof net!
Su Huan cursed inwardly that another good piece of glass was shattered.
This thing was harder to repair than if the steel plate had been broken!
However, through this sharp claw, Su Huan also judged what it was, had an idea in his mind, and flashed to the front.
A deformed humanoid zombie was clinging to the window, its two hands degenerated into three sharp claws, almost half its body length.
Its body was as thin as a bamboo pole, but its chest cavity ribs were extremely prominent, bulging under the armpits like wings. There was a row of eyes in the gaps between each rib, densely packed, nine on each side, totaling eighteen.
At this moment, all of them were greedily staring at Su Huan.
Su Huan reached out and gripped the metal edge of the window frame, sneering, “Want to force your way onto the train without a ticket?!”
Crackling electric arcs instantly flashed on the zombie’s body.
The zombie let out a painful low roar.
Without needing Su Huan’s reminder.
Countless steel spikes instantly extended from the train’s outer steel plates, piercing it viciously.
“Tier 1 zombie Night Demon, high attack low defense. Lock it on the carriage, deal with it tomorrow,” Su Huan said coldly.
Qi Xiao Ba’s eyes seemed to turn into steel balls, coldly staring at the zombie outside the window.
Strands of steel wire were pulled up from the train, tightly binding the Night Demon that wanted to pull its body off the spikes onto the train body.
Only then did Su Huan stop the high-voltage electricity input.
The Night Demon, losing its stiff control, could only howl louder, with no room left to struggle.
No matter how it swung its sharp claws, it only sparked clusters of sparks on the train body’s steel plates.
12mm+3mm steel plates—forget him, even a Tier 2 Night Demon couldn’t chew through such tough stuff!
As its vitality drained away, the Night Demon gradually lost its ability to struggle, the scarlet in its eyes receded, turning to dead black.
Everything happened in a flash.
Wan Xing froze in place. Only after realizing the situation had calmed did she walk over.
“I just wanted to remind you earlier…”
“It’s fine.”
Su Huan shook his head.
Unable to sneak attack, switching to strong assault was the same. As long as this Night Demon couldn’t break the carriage armor, it would eventually be killed by the two of them.
“Any situation behind?” Su Huan turned to look at Qi Xiao Ba.
“There was just a brief disturbance behind earlier, very quiet after that,” Qi Xiao Ba said.
While speaking, Yu Jing and her daughter also walked over.
“Liang Kuan said one train light is broken, other functions are intact, no damage to the windows, but there’s damage on your Carriage 3 window, like something tried to drill in but was caught by the explosion-proof net.”
Yu Jing reported.
Su Huan nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
It seemed these past few days weren’t wasted.
However, with steel plates and explosion-proof nets protecting the front carriages, then…
Everyone thought of this problem and simultaneously turned their gazes to Carriage 7.
Qi Xiao Ba reached out, and several door locks opened in sequence.
The group entered the carriage bridge, which was very quiet inside, only the clanging sound of the wheels.
Through the glass, they could hear some commotion in the opposite carriage.
“There’s a monster!”
“The people behind must all be dead.”
“Shut up, everyone be quiet. I’ll go find Boss Su!”
“What’s the use of finding Boss Su? Keep your voices down, don’t let the monster in…”
Su Huan lightly placed his hand on Qi Xiao Ba’s shoulder, and the latter immediately opened the reverse-locked door of Carriage 7.
Several workers looked over at the sound, scared and shouting several times.
“The… door, the door opened!”
“What the hell are you screaming for? Go get Gao Zhe for me,” Su Huan said, digging in his ear.
Hearing this voice, the nearby workers finally reacted, “Boss Su, it’s Boss Su!”
“Boss Su, there’s a monster behind!”
“All of you shut up!” A thick angry shout rang out, and Wang He squeezed out from the crowd.
Su Huan waved his hand to interrupt him and directly asked, “What’s the situation behind, all that wailing?”
“A monster got into Carriage 10, killed a few zombies. I’m afraid the people behind have all been killed!”
Wang He’s voice, pretending to be calm, carried a slight tremble.
Su Huan frowned but didn’t move a muscle, “Call Gao Zhe over.”
“I’m right here. What do you want?” A clear voice rang out from the crowd.
The surrounding workers looked around and made way for a narrow aisle.
The carriage was too dim. Even with Su Huan’s excellent eyesight, he could barely make out a black shadow.
But he didn’t need to see clearly and said indifferently, “Go kill that Night Demon, bring the corpse over, and I’ll give you a permanent train ticket.”
Gao Zhe’s gaze flickered. He really knew a lot.
“This is your train. Why don’t you go? I have a three-month ticket, that’s enough.”
Su Huan sneered inwardly: Wait for me to go over and get ambushed from behind?
You think I don’t know that trick?
Only an idiot would go and get attacked from both sides!
Su Huan’s tone carried a mocking indifference, as if it were none of his business, “You can choose not to go. Anyway, the monster will kill its way from behind. Where can you run to?”
“Xiao Ba, lock the door. Let them think it over slowly.”
After saying that, ignoring the anxious calls from the workers behind, he took Qi Xiao Ba and the others back to the Storage Room.
“Really lock it?”
Qi Xiao Ba asked.
“Of course.”
Su Huan turned on the night light in the Storage Room and saw the youth sitting there, a faint reluctance on his face.
Seeing this appearance, he knew his Saint Mother complex was acting up.
This needed proper guidance.
Su Huan said calmly, “You want to say there are many innocent people behind?”
Qi Xiao Ba nodded.
“But there are also many people with malice there.”
Su Huan squatted down to make his line of sight level with Qi Xiao Ba’s and said word by word, “But before protecting others, ensure your own safety.”
“There are two ways to prevent their deaths now. One is we go solve the Night Demon ourselves, but face harm from those with malice.”
“The other is to force those with malice to have to solve the Night Demon, ensuring our safety while achieving the goal of protecting the majority.”
“So, how do you choose?”
