Chapter 8: The Battle to Protect the Train!



at the same time.

Several alarm messages were also displayed on the virtual screen of the main control module. As the information source was opened, an image of a dragon's claw breaking through the space station's defenses was projected.

"It's a doomsday beast."

Estelle's brow furrowed instantly. As the temporary stationmaster of the Black Tower Space Station, she was acutely aware of the threat posed by the Doomsday Beasts—weapons used by the Antimatter Legion against celestial bodies...

Although the Black Tower Space Station's defenses were designed to withstand the attacks of the Doomsday Beasts, the station's defenses could not be fully utilized without the presence of its true owner, Black Tower.

"You all take the train first! I'll stay here!" Estella turned around and looked at Himeko and the others.

"You just left like that?"

"Danheng... let's go."

Himeko glanced at Hoshino not far away, and vaguely felt that Hoshino might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

"good..."

Upon hearing the order, Dan Heng followed Himeko and the others out of the support section.

...

"What do we need to do now?"

Hearing the alarm sounding in the compartment passage, Dan Heng stopped and looked at Himeko.

"Let's go meet up with Zhou Xiao and the others on March 7th... and take her with us."

Upon noticing Himeko's gaze fixed on Xingmei, Danheng gradually realized that the girl Zhou Xiao had rescued seemed to be no ordinary person.

...

As Xingmei, led by Himeko and Danheng, rushed towards the platform, the Doomsday Beast, as if it had opened its third eye, also rushed towards the platform.

"Holy crap! That doomsday beast is charging at us!"

As the alarm sounded on the space station, the train's alarm also went off. Seeing the massive doomsday beast swooping down onto the platform where the train was located, Pam jumped off her chair with a "whoosh" and hid behind Zhou Xiao, trembling with fear.

“There’s a problem,” Zhou Xiao said, frowning.

He vaguely remembered that this apocalyptic beast was after Xingmei, but the train seemed to arrive at the platform faster than in the original story, which led to an awkward situation.

That is, the train collided with the doomsday beast at its peak.

If a fight breaks out, the train will suffer severe damage.

"Little Pam, go start the train and get it off the platform first," Zhou Xiao said calmly.

"Huh? It takes time for the train to start, huh?"

"Hurry up, Pam, you don't want the train to be badly damaged by the Doomsday Beast, do you?"

"Pa?"

Pam was stunned for a moment when she heard Zhou Xiao say these words as he left.

...

"Get down here!"

On the platform, March 7, who had just gotten off the train and was on his way to find Himeko, naturally faced the Doomsday Beast immediately. Looking at the Doomsday Beast hovering in the starry sky, March 7 transformed into his longbow and appeared fearless.

When he saw the doomsday beast actually swooping down, March 7th thought of the train that was on the platform. If it swooped down, the train might be overturned.

"Go up! Don't come down!"

March 7 tried to get the Doomsday Beast to understand, but the Doomsday Beast completely ignored her, gathering energy in its abyss and spewing it towards the platform where March 7 was, like atomic breath.

The enormous body, which blotted out the sky, contrasted sharply with March 7's slender frame, inspiring despair. March 7 was completely dumbfounded.

Just as we can hear her innermost thoughts now, it is very likely to be a greeting.

No good person starts by using a big move.

This apocalyptic beast... it has no sense of martial ethics!

Although March 7th is carefree, she's not stupid. When she sees the Doomsday Beast's "Atomic Breath," she instinctively chooses to dodge, but there's almost no room to dodge at that distance.

...

Listen to the wind.

At this critical moment, a fierce gust of wind swept in from behind March 7, and a large amount of gas from the space station surged out from the support platform as if it were being sucked away, forming an invisible wind wall in front of March 7.

wind...

It's the wind.

The scorching breath touched the wind wall, effectively neutralizing the Doomsday Beast's attack, and surprisingly, it did block it.

With its "breath" blocked, the doomsday beast climbed higher and circled again in the star field outside the platform, giving March 7 a chance to catch its breath and dodge.

...

Zhou Xiao got out of the car, glanced at March 7, and slowly extended his left hand.

March 7th also noticed Zhou Xiao.

This ability to utilize airflow was undoubtedly Zhou Xiao's doing.

The slowly extended left hand was like a ray of redemption in her heart, which had just experienced a brush with death on March 7th, breaking through her carefree exterior and penetrating her confused and uneasy heart.

Even March 7th had to admit... Zhou Xiao was kind of handsome in her heart.

“Five days…” Zhou Xiao finally stretched out his left hand, making a “five” shape.

"I've saved your life this time, so you'll have to help out in the kitchen for at least five days!" Zhou Xiao said, then suddenly felt a little cheated, so he added casually, "Plus, a month of leg massages..."

Um.

Reasonable.

Zhou Xiao did not sense anything amiss.

After all, it can be considered as saving March 7's life.

...

He was cool for only three seconds!

This is a law.

Hearing Zhou Xiao's words and seeing his outstretched left hand, March 7 had to admit that any girl's beautiful fantasy would shatter under Zhou Xiao's tone, which was the ultimate mood killer, and would eventually turn into a "Damn it!"

never mind!

After all, he saved my life...

March 7th can be seen as tacitly agreeing to Zhou Xiao's five days of kitchen help and a month of leg massage service.

"Alright, what do we do now?" March 7th moved a little further away and came to Zhou Xiao's side to ask.

“What to do? Draw his attention and get the train moving…” Zhou Xiao gripped the knife he had picked up from Kafka tightly:

"Message Himeko and tell her to bring Hoshino and not come to the platform..."

"Huh? Xing?" Before March 7th could react to what he meant, Zhou Xiao had already stepped forward.

...

Inside the support compartment.

Himeko didn't see the message from March 7th immediately, and naturally didn't know that the Doomsday Beast was already waiting for them at the platform.

The doomsday beast outside the platform seemed to be trying to pinpoint the star's exact location and did not rush to swoop down again.

When Himeko and Danheng arrived at the platform with Hoshino, they were both deeply shocked by the scene before them.

In his field of vision, the doomsday beast swooped down, and facing him was Zhou Xiao, who was holding a dark red longsword. Compared to the doomsday beast's massive body, Zhou Xiao's back looked so thin.

Facing the apocalyptic beast before him, Zhou Xiao took a deep breath, the power of the wind clinging to the dark red blade, while the light cone that belonged to him in his pocket glowed faintly.

The self-discipline of the swift!

A gust of wind swirled around him, causing his aura to rise steadily. The constantly erupting air currents prevented March 7 from getting close, forcing him to retreat.

Just this one cut.

Just this one strike!
