Chapter 305 No. 5 Xingyuan Corpse Chaser

The first time Lin Xian heard the term "corpse driver" was when he attended the bonfire fair organized by Jiang Yun in Qu Guan. After going up to the high-altitude orbit, Lin Xian never saw a corpse driver from beginning to end.

But now more and more information describes that the corpse chasers seem to be different from other dark creatures, but are really similar to humans.

But the difference is, it was a giant!

Along with them came the massive number of strange entities He drove over, those indescribable unknown creatures, which brought infinite terror!

Seeing this scene, Lin Xian recalled the time when he was in Yubei City. The tide of zombies and strange creatures all over the city was most likely the arrival of the corpse driver.

At this moment, above the mountains outside the eastern suburbs of Yijin City, Lin Xian, KIKI and Lu Xingchen were all shocked as they looked at the huge human-shaped black shadow coming towards them in the posture of a land wonder!

"What...is this thing?!" KIKI's eyes widened. This scene reminded her of the horror she had seen in the sky above Jiang City. Her little face turned pale.

"From the looks of it, maybe this is the corpse chaser that Grace reminded us of!"

Lin Xian's face was solemn. He didn't need to guess to know that this thing was at least an unknown existence above S level!

Lu Xingchen looked at the black shadow and said hurriedly, "Not good, it's heading towards us, and below is the track leading out of the city!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian immediately used the power armor's search mode to zoom in, and sure enough, he saw that the direction of the elevated rail line was heading northeast along the mountains!

Finished!

If the Union Train rushed out at this time, wouldn't it hit them head-on? !

"Brother Shi, Teacher Chen!!"

Instantly, Lin Xian felt his scalp go numb. He immediately pressed the communicator, but the joint train was still running on the underground track. In addition, due to the distance barrier in the dark night, the signal could not be connected at all.

"What should I do?!" KIKI was horrified at this moment.

Lin Xian gritted his teeth and looked fierce: "Let's go, we have no choice but to divert its attention!"

At this point he had no other choice but to take the highest risk and try to attract the giant shadow away, and then use the air advantage to escape from the polar night.

Lin Xian knew that this might be a life-threatening situation, but if the track broke and the entire train derailed and hit the corpse driver, that would be a real disaster!

The three of them looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Must take the risk!

"Can!"

Lu Xingchen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, a man should stand tall and upright. I will use my fire to ignite the great..."

boom!!

Just before Lu Xingchen finished his passionate and heroic words, a huge explosion suddenly sounded in Yijin City behind him. The three of them looked back and saw a huge red pillar of fire shooting up into the sky, triggering a strange scarlet energy that began to transform into a blazing white ball of light. Then the ball of light began to expand continuously, completely illuminating the sky-covering mushroom cap with a diameter of two kilometers. Then the flame ball of light expanded layer by layer, and finally detonated the huge mushroom cap!

“Run!”

When Lin Xian saw this scene, he immediately shouted to KIKI, and KIKI immediately held up the telekinesis shield, and the three of them flew madly in another direction away from the corpse chaser!

boom!

The second explosion sounded immediately, and the huge sky-covering mushroom cap suddenly collapsed inwards and began to burst into a sky-wide cloud of flames. In an instant, a giant mushroom cloud with a diameter of five kilometers shot up into the sky, and the instant white light seemed to turn the sky and the earth into daylight!

After the light radiation, a giant shock wave tore the earth apart, and even the clouds in the sky were blown away in an instant!

The mushroom cloud fireworks came in a radial impact, and the ignited fungal carpet in the entire city was like living magma, with columns of fire hundreds of meters high gushing out from the cracks in the ground. When the fire reached its peak, the net suddenly contracted, draining all the oxygen from the entire city!

Boom!

Lin Xian and the other two who were flying quickly were directly hit by the huge shock wave, and were immediately blown several kilometers away like a bubble in the air. KIKI screamed in pain and gritted his teeth to control the three of them to stabilize their bodies.

At this moment, the three of them felt as if their internal organs were hit hard, and they almost died on the spot with black vision and vomiting blood.

The tide of flames continued to spread, and a huge annihilation hole of several kilometers was generated in Yijin City with Puzhong Square as the center. Then the streets and buildings within a radius of more than ten kilometers outside all collapsed and burned in the direction of the shock wave. The whole city was on fire and explosions continued!

Those strange creatures in the dark night were turned into ashes in an instant. The entire Yijin City was already a sea of ​​fire, even the sky was illuminated.

At this moment, the joint train was running at high speed underground. Suddenly, a huge earthquake was felt. Then the ground in the tunnel began to surge like a winding waterway, and a large amount of smoke, dust and gravel poured down!

On the Infinity, more than thirty team members were knocked to the ground and hit the wall by the huge explosion, and there were screams and shouts on other trains.

"ah!!!"

"The tunnel is collapsing!"

"It's over!"

"Don't brake, just go!"

"Did the meteorite explode?"

“Run!”

Just when more than 4,000 people thought that the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, the train led by Longshan No. 1 had already rushed out of the ground and merged into the sightseeing track, rushing towards the outside of the city with a sea of ​​fire roaring all the way. Fortunately, a large number of people were wearing equipment, so no greater injuries were caused.

As the ground collapsed, the trains at the rear began to be buried by a large amount of mud. However, because the speed of the combined train had been fully increased, those trains were actually pulled out of the collapsed tunnel at the last moment!

On the other side, Lin Xian and the other two, who were almost vomiting blood due to the shock, had just stabilized themselves. Now they were standing in the air, looking at the huge mushroom cloud that had not dissipated for a long time, and their faces changed drastically.

Lin Xian had never expected that the explosion of the Sky Mushroom Tower would be so powerful. You have to know that they had already left the city, at least forty or fifty kilometers away. If it weren't for the protection of the telekinesis shield, the shock wave would have almost killed the three of them, the violent-level psychics. This power was even more terrifying than a nuclear bomb.

Shocked, Lin Xian immediately became worried about the situation on the united train, and immediately looked for directions under the sky full of flames.

"Brother Lin, look!"

At this moment, Brother Huo, who was naked from the waist up, suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Xian and KIKI immediately looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that under the huge cloud of flames, the corpse driver finally revealed his horrifying true appearance under the light. It was a tall humanoid creature with tentacles like a deep-sea octopus on its head, looking extremely strange and hideous under the night sky.

It stood between the mountains and valleys, its giant tentacles slowly rolling, its body covered with mummy-like skin, looking like an evil god from another world!

With the huge explosion in the city of Yijin, the giant shaped like an octopus head seemed to sense a strange signal. Immediately, it began to turn towards the core of the explosion. The tentacles on its body began to roll wildly, making a deafening buzzing sound!

The next moment, it raised its hundreds-meter-long legs and took a step forward.

boom!

The corpse driver began to turn and left the direction of the united train's track. Every step was accompanied by a deafening noise. But something even more bizarre happened. As it moved, this huge dark existence actually began to gradually become transparent, as if it had walked into some strange space and disappeared while walking!

"How... did it disappear?" Lu Xingchen couldn't believe what he saw. He was just happy that the monster changed direction, which might give the joint train a chance to escape. He didn't expect that after taking a few steps, it just disappeared out of thin air.

Lin Xian and KIKI were also staring at the scene in amazement. No one could explain it all.

Lin Xian swallowed hard, he felt all the hairs on his body stand up. At this moment, he saw with the spreading firelight, a long steel dragon rushing rapidly on the elevated track in the distance.

"They rushed out, quick!! Let's follow them!"

It’s hard to explain, but this strange corpse driver made Lin Xian feel an extremely heavy pressure, and this strange disappearance made him even more creepy.

Lin Xian thought of the strange white monster that appeared in Jiang City, and now he had the same feeling again.

But he clearly knew that these monsters came with darkness and dark marks, so how could this corpse chaser explain it? Could such a huge body be invisible?

Not daring to think too much, Lin Xian only wanted to rush back to the train as soon as possible, and then everyone galloped out of the polar night.

With their current knowledge, they are completely unable to comprehend the situation they see, nor are they able to deal with this unknown existence. The only option they have is to run away!

Clank, clank!

Clank, clank!

Under the darkness and flames, the 15-kilometer-long combined train sped at high speed, sparks colliding all the way, and with an indomitable momentum, it rushed out of the exploded and collapsed city of Ijin.

There were countless people wounded inside the more than 500 carriages, all of them caused by the shock wave of the explosion and the earthquake. Many people even had large-scale perforated eardrums and bleeding, pneumococcal tubes, and serious injuries caused by various collisions due to the underground cavitation effect. For a while, there were wailing in each carriage, and the teammates who were not injured were busy rescuing the wounded and cleaning up the various debris that fell and broke on the train.

On the Infinity side, all the crew members were wearing protective power armor with built-in impact-buffering devices, so they were slightly better off, but they were all badly injured and the living area was in complete chaos. The situations of the Sun Team, Joker Team, Queen Mo and Longshan No. 1 were similar. The shocking explosion just now almost destroyed a large city in an instant, and it seemed that even the sky had been blown open with a hole!

Starting from the middle section, the subsequent trains were all covered with dust and rubble, almost as if they were dug out of the ground. Fortunately, these collapsed rocks did not cause too much damage to the fully armed steel trains, and the expected derailment did not occur. It was a blessing in disguise.

The combined train traveled along the valleys on the outskirts of the city and began to accelerate. KIKI took Lin Xian and Huo Ge and flew rapidly through the air, and finally caught up with the train before it merged into the main track of the northern line.

And it was because of the explosion of the mushroom tower that day that the corpse chasers and the strange creatures quickly disappeared in the direction of Yijin City. The joint train just avoided the tsunami-like strange wave and rushed directly into the quiet darkness.

Lin Xian looked back and could still see the flames rising from Yijin City. The sounds of explosions and buzzing were endless, but as they got farther and farther away, the sounds began to disappear.

He heaved a sigh of relief for some reason. It was a very close call just now. Looking at Brother Huo at this moment, he did not expect that Brother Huo's idea of ​​detonating the Tiangu Tower would miraculously bring a glimmer of survival to the evacuation of the joint train. He did not dare to imagine what a tragic situation it would be if the joint train had not encountered the corpse chasers and the monster tide head-on without this explosion.

At the same time, Lin Xian was also wondering, if Tang Yun had not died, causing the unusual movement in the Tiangu Tower, would the corpse-drivers who came to Yijin City discover the joint convoy hiding underground?

"Teacher Chen, Director Ding, we are in the air, ready to check for the dark mark on us."

Lin Xian's voice appeared in Chen Sixuan's communicator at this time. She immediately relaxed and responded hurriedly: "Okay, car No. 2, open the roof immediately!"

Ding Junyi also arrived quickly with the Hell Black Chrysanthemum. KIKI, who was flying at high speed, took Lin Xian and Brother Huo back to the car. After the test of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and Lin Xian's Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, none of the three were marked with darkness, and Lu Xingchen was indeed not infected with mycelium.

Speaking of which, Lin Xian had never told the team about the heterogeneous Rubik's Cube, but as luck would have it, Huo Ge's oolong incident and Tang Yun's death gave the entire joint train almost the only chance of survival in a desperate situation!

"It was really dangerous just now. What happened? Why did you have to evacuate from the air?" Chen Sixuan asked with a worried look on her face.

The other core members of Infinity also gathered around. Everyone saw that Lu Xingchen was shirtless with a piece of torn cloth hanging around his neck. He looked quite disheveled, and there was a large amount of blue-black dye on his body that looked like mycelium patterns.

Lin Xian's face darkened and he was already sweating coldly.

"It's all because of him." KIKI let out a long sigh.

When Lu Xingchen heard this, his face turned pale and he swallowed nervously.

KIKI glanced at him unhappily, and then helplessly helped him to cover up: "Brother Huo wanted us to evacuate smoothly, so he came up with a plan to blow up the mushroom tower to divert the monsters' attention."

"Really?" Sasha asked in surprise.

"Yes." Lin Xian laughed in his heart, but he also agreed seriously: "So we discussed and acted together. It was indeed a bit thrilling. Brother Huo almost lost his life."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's face, which had almost turned pale, suddenly turned rosy again, and he looked at the two of them with a gaze filled with billions of gratitude, and the reverence seemed to be bursting out of his eyes.

“Wow!!!” Upon hearing this, Shasha, who was standing by, immediately widened her eyes and looked at Lu Xingchen with admiration: “Brother Huo, you are so awesome! It turns out that the explosion just now was caused by you!”

"Thank you for your hard work. You saved all of us this time." Chen Sixuan said with gratitude.

"Awesome!" The building gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Brother, you blew up the whole city. This is really an eye-opener for us."

"That's amazing!" Shuqin also said.

"Brother Huo, you actually went to the Mushroom Tower alone for us. Oh my god." Miao Lu's face was full of admiration and she was so moved that she almost cried.

When Lu Xingchen heard the compliments from everyone, his eyes seemed to shine with infinite light, but he immediately put on a humble look on the surface.

"It's okay, it's okay. I just made a slight move and it has turned danger into safety."

Lin Xian and KIKI looked at each other. Although he didn't do it alone, it was indeed because of his strategy that everyone was able to get to this point by chance. So the two of them knew it well, so they just let him pretend and decided not to expose him.

"Alright, the shock wave just now was too destructive. Is anyone injured? Let's quickly check the condition of the car. Now we have to rush out of the range of the polar night tide at full speed."

Lin Xian immediately made arrangements at this time, and at the same time used the communicator to contact other convoys, and by the way synchronized the situation just now.

"What? You blew up the Tiangu Tower? Damn it! I thought a nuclear bomb went off." Shi Diyuan cursed in the communicator. However, after hearing about the danger of the corpse driver just now, he also took a deep breath in fear: "Fuck! We almost fed into the corpse driver's mouth?!"

"Corpse chaser?" Ning Jing also said in a serious tone: "It seems that the previous information is correct. Corpse chasers are usually active on the edge of Xingyuan's dark tide."

"Captain Lin, we are all fine. We are all wearing power armor. It's just that the interior of the car is a mess. Several parts of the armor have been smashed and deformed, and many of the windows have been shattered." Luo Yang said anxiously at this time.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian asked Li Yi again, she was a pregnant woman and there were many children over there.

Sure enough, as soon as the communicator rang, there was a burst of noise from Li Yi's side, and the sound of many children sobbing.

In the back carriages of the Sun, many workers from the former Pao Ben Yuan camp were busy carrying the wounded and repairing the damaged parts. The women in the logistics department were busy collecting debris. Li Yi was taking care of the children in the first carriage.

These children were all frightened by the huge earthquake just now. Many of them had bloody heads, but the older ones all had tears in their eyes and did not cry out even though they were in extreme pain. Only some of the younger ones could not help but sob softly.

The long-term doomsday escape has taught them to be quiet, patient, and not to cry out loudly.

"Be good, it doesn't hurt, everyone keep your voices down, otherwise the monsters outside will hear it."

"Hmm~"

While holding her stomach, Li Yi used alcohol to wipe the wound of a little girl with a broken head. The intense pain made the little girl's neck shrink and tears as big as beans kept falling, but she gritted her teeth and refused to scream.

"Captain Lin, he was just a little frightened. He is not seriously injured at the moment, so don't worry." Hearing Lin Xian's concern, Li Yi immediately reported the situation inside the car.

"Everything is OK on my side. Some of our buddies have suffered minor injuries, but there's no need to worry about the others." After learning about the situation, Qian Dele from Joker's team took a deep breath. From his tone, he didn't sound overly nervous. Instead, he sounded elegant and calm, as if he was the son of destiny and if he was going to die, he would have died already. There was nothing to be afraid of.

"I knew that following you, Captain Lin, would never be wrong. Thank you again for saving my life this time. I should buy you a drink." Monica, who was in the No. 1 carriage of the Queen Mo, heard the conversation in the communicator and understood the shocking moment just now. At this moment, she became more and more curious and interested in Lin Xian.

In the end times, people, especially women, often have the fantasy of expecting a savior to appear. In Monica's eyes, Lin Xian is becoming more and more like such a person. He entered Xilan City on the eve of the snowstorm, stood up during the war, and appeared in countless moments of despair. Such a person is bound to attract the attention of countless people.

Leader, savior, hero, these words unknowingly became invisible labels, engraved on Lin Xian in everyone's discussion. Monica was not surprised either. She shook the red wine glass in her hand, looking at the Infinity in front of her, with a somewhat charming smile.

After all the convoys reported back, Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the injuries were concussions, bumps, and perforated eardrums. There were also internal organ damages caused by the huge earthquake. Some people suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and many people were in a coma. However, no deaths have been reported so far. It is a miracle that such a situation can be maintained under such a huge disaster!

Because there were so many injured people, Lin Xian immediately reminded all the teams to pay attention to the invasion of darkness. At present, the united train has successfully escaped from Yijin City, which is good news and must be conveyed to everyone. They must maintain confidence in breaking out at dawn!

Clank~clank.

The black joint train was like a long steel dragon, running between the hills and mountains in the dark night. At this time, the train was heading north from the east of Yijin City, gradually entering the western Gobi Desert. The moonlight under the dark curtain of the polar night was cold, like a thin layer of silver sprinkled on the wasteland. The train rolled over the wrinkled areas on the hilly tracks. The undulating mountain shadows were like the backs of sleeping beasts, and the low slope tops were etched with jagged outlines by the wind. These hills had no trees, only sparse and dead camel thorns and sedge grass. Tumbleweeds rolled in the night wind, and dead branches rubbed against the stone surface, making a fine rustling sound, full of loneliness and desolation.

The wind blew in from the depths of the Gobi Desert, carrying fine sand as it swept across the carriage, making slight whimpers on the metal surface. However, after the end of the world, there were no insects chirping, no sounds of water, only the collision of gravel and wheels, and the whispers of wind and rock walls, weaving a silent nocturne in this eternal desolation.

The combined train sped along like this for two hours. These two hours were spent in the busyness, tension, alertness and helplessness of each carriage. As the train gradually entered the Gobi desert, the horizon became wider and wider, and a feeling of being isolated from the world thousands of miles away kept coming over me. There were no strange entities, no zombies, only the whistling of the night wind and sand.

Everyone became more and more certain that they had escaped!

The tension among the more than 4,000 people on the train finally eased a little, and everyone recovered from the huge explosion in Yijin City at the beginning.

"We checked, there are no dark marks. We are all in silent mode now."

In Carriage No. 2, KIKI had just brought Hell Black Chrysanthemum and Abai from Dragon Mountain No. 1 to inspect the entire train from the air. After double confirmation, Lin Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to KIKI, "Okay, you should take a rest first. The shock wave from the explosion should have had a significant impact on you."

KIKI stretched and said, "It's okay, we are far enough away, and with my telekinesis shield, I'm not hurt."

In fact, it's not just her. After the huge earthquake underground, although so many people were injured or dizzy, they were not directly killed. The reason is that the Doomsday Train's defense is strong, and the distance is far enough and isolated from the ground. The third point is that the more than 4,000 people on the entire joint train are more or less evolving because of the power of the night. Even the worst physical fitness is already far stronger than that of humans before the Apocalypse Day. Their adaptability and recovery ability are greatly enhanced. Even Sasha, a little girl, can already pick up the Roaring Gatling machine gun with one hand, which is evident.
