Chapter 56: No Way Back, Crush Them!
Lu Xiao paced back and forth on the carriage bridge of carriage number ten for a long time before walking over upon hearing the exclamation from the person behind him.
Looking down through the explosion-proof net of the armored carriage, his heart skipped a beat.
Just the mutated beast captured in that small section of the window made his scalp tingle.
He wanted to see the situation in front of the front of the train, but was blocked by the explosion-proof net on the car window.
He reached out and tugged at the explosion-proof net of the armored carriage, finding it impossible to tear, gritted his teeth, and walked toward the back of the carriage through the crowded crowd.
Because of his previous analysis, many people were paying attention to him.
Seeing him move, they also quickly followed behind.
Walking to the sixteenth carriage, Lu Xiao opened the window, and a sticky heat wave carrying the smell of rust surged into the carriage.
Looking at the churning river water below and the mutated beasts crashing into the bridge piers, he took a deep breath of cold air, grabbed the window frame with both hands, and flipped onto the roof of the train.
Everyone suddenly understood, and those with some ability followed his example, clinging to the windows to climb onto the roof.
Those without the courage lay on the windows looking forward.
When everyone saw the silver-white giant python coiled in the slanted steel cables between the bridge towers in the middle of the river, the entire train suddenly seemed to have entered the internal of a clock, with every gear meshing unusually clearly.
That massive body, like a flood dragon or a dragon, carried the most primal terror, spanning across everyone’s hearts.
When that pair of blue vertical pupils swept over, even in the over forty degrees high temperature, Lu Xiao felt cold air rising from the bottom of his heart.
His entire body’s skin went numb, muscles twisted like steel cables strangling the bones, making it difficult to move even an inch.
“Wait, that’s——”
A small gray figure stood on the front of the train of the armored train, attracting his trembling pupils.
“The train conductor is in front!”
Someone behind him shouted loudly.
Like an icebreaker chiseling through a glacier, it barbarously charged into this deathly silent world.
Lu Xiao looked at that tiny figure relative to the White Snake, his heart pounding wildly, his throat extremely dry.
What was he going to do?
……
A heat wave roared past, and Su Huan stood on the bloodstained front of the train.
In front of him was an oil drum, with four grenades placed on top; if not for the fact that he really couldn’t use that many, Old San would have hated to not haul up a whole crate.
Standing here, no one could see more clearly than him; even the scales on the snake body as large as a washbasin were very clear.
The White Snake’s snake head slowly descended from the top of the bridge tower, hovering in the exact center of the great bridge.
The dark blue eyes were like melting an entire glacier into liquid sapphire poured into the eye sockets; floating on the surface of the iris was a steel dragon composed of forty-seven carriages, and the tiny Su Huan muttering to himself on top of it.
“What a beautiful creature; if I eat you, I can evolve to Tier 2, right?”
Licking his somewhat dry lips, Su Huan stared at White Snake Desert River, his fine white teeth viciously biting into the Blood Hound heart in his mouth.
Fresh blood spurted into his mouth.
He could even feel the strong muscle fibers wriggling in his mouth.
Fishy and smelly, tough!
The massive general energy was also infused into his body in this way.
lv2 “General Energy Conversion” was flushed by the general energy, gradually reaching the threshold.
Feeling the increasingly massive and restless energy in his body, Su Huan tilted his head back, gasping heavily, blood surging from his mouth, while the heart in his hand still had a third left.
“If you continue, you’ll die; your body is very unstable now.”
A timid voice drilled into his ears; no need to think, he knew it was Yu Yue—at this time, only she could transmit her voice to the front of the train.
Strange colors flickered in Su Huan’s pupils, like an overturned kaleidoscope.
Various colors alternated repeatedly.
“Go back?”
Scenes from the four years of his previous life flashed through Su Huan’s mind like a pageant.
The food he dug out with his life every day in the ruins had to be handed over eighty percent.
For that bite to eat, he had killed people and been chased and killed; it was nothing big, because even in the acid rain area, it wouldn’t rain bitterly for a full four years—occasionally, the sun could be seen.
Whenever the rain stopped, he would take out his damp heart to dry it in the sun to prevent it from rotting.
Until he saw the Great Fire that retreated the darkness extinguished in the darkness, the steel that built the Barrier destroyed by steel.
He knew this world was beyond saving, so he silently took out the heart he had treasured for years and ate it.
Until rebirth.
He knew he was neither the Great Fire that could retreat the darkness nor the steel that could build the Barrier.
He could only walk faster, even faster.
From the moment he boarded the train, he had no road back.
He had to move forward, ahead of everyone, to have a chance to rebuild this damn world with his will.
The evolving train never waits for anyone.
That sentence was said to everyone, and also to himself.
He had no way to retreat.
So his choice had only ever been one.
Smash them to pieces!
“You can try it too, the taste of gnawing on a heart… it’s really great.”
Su Huan swallowed the flesh and blood in his throat in one gulp, devouring the remaining heart completely.
The smile at the corner of his mouth was already hard to suppress.
“You…”
“I’m not crazy; my condition has never been better.”
Su Huan’s eyes flickered with eerie light, looking at the increasingly close White Snake, he opened the oil drum in front of him.
“The song you sang that day was very nice.”
In the sightseeing carriage, Yu Yue, whose heart was already in her throat, was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Su Huan would mention this now.
“Hum another song.”
“…I can’t sing, no, what do you want to hear?”
Looking at the increasingly imminent collision, her mind trembled, the tension in her almond eyes already spilling out of her eye sockets.
“Anything.”
There was no sound from her ears for a long time.
Su Huan ignored it, tossing the lid away; the calm oil surface trembled slightly with the train’s movement.
At this moment, Yu Yue’s faint humming suddenly came to his ears, like the water surface rippled by the wind.
“One person later went to Jiangnan, misty rain locking melancholy…” (voiceover)
‘So sad!’
Su Huan raised an eyebrow.
But the smile on his face grew even more manic.
He picked up the four grenades and pulled out the safety pins.
Throwing them into the oil drum.
A “thud” of falling into water sounded.
“Painted boats with flute and drum sounds singing one after another, several tunes breaking one’s heart…”
‘She doesn’t think I’m going to die, does she?’
Looking at Mo Jiang almost right in front of him, Su Huan couldn’t help but want to laugh for some reason.
And he did.
“Boom——”
The explosion came suddenly and violently, like an unannounced summer thunder, detonating fiercely twenty meters from the snake head.
The violent flame core bloomed at the front of the train, instantly illuminating the entire night.
Everyone standing at the back of the carriage could see it clearly.
Shocked by this scene into speechless silence.
Yu Yue’s voice abruptly stopped, subconsciously covering her mouth and nose, bean-sized teardrops rolling from her slightly open almond eyes.
Maniacal laughter rang out from the front of the train, overpowering the explosion and the roar of the train!
