305 Homecoming Train (9)
Did Pei Shu deliberately lure me into the car?
After Zhu Ning announced his plan, the first person to oppose it was Pei Shu. The plunderers were a bunch of reckless people who would use their scouting dogs to bleed right away, so it was best not to provoke them.
Pei Shu and Qi Xueliu both tend to be conservative. They should just stay alive and look for opportunities. The predators are about to get off the bus, so just let them go.
Maybe there is a secret behind the urn in Zhu Ning's hand.
At that time, Zhu Ning shook his head and typed on the secondary brain, "How are your abilities?"
Pei Shu's fire ability can be used. It's okay when it comes to small water droplets, but large areas of water stains are like trying to light wet firewood that has been soaked in water. Even if it rubs your fingers until they are covered in blood, it still won't light up.
Zhu Ning also felt that after she got on the car, many of her attack abilities had very poor effects. So far, only Qi Xueliu's mind control had a significant effect on the water ghost.
The pattern of the water ghost's killing has been figured out. It kills people with its mind. The only thing that can fight against it is the mind, which Zhu Ning does not have.
If you don’t have it, you have to go get it, any way will do.
We must act immediately. The plunderer wants to get off the bus. If the mind controller gets off at the next stop, Zhu Ning won't even have a chance to turn the situation around.
There was a violent storm outside, and the rain never stopped. If they didn't take action, they would surely die.
Zhu Ning originally asked Pei Shu to find a means of transportation for him, but unexpectedly Pei Shu led him onto a strange train. Coincidentally, the investigators and the Recovery Society were there.
Zhu Ning still didn't know the real reason why Pei Shu followed him, nor could he guess the extent of his loyalty to him. He glanced at him, but now was not the time for infighting.
Zhu Ning's plan did not include Pei Shu, but only asked him to provide support at any time. Pei Shu could not explain himself clearly, but knew that he had been temporarily put on hold by Zhu Ning.
This is normal. There is something wrong with this car. I was the one who provided the information. It is very reasonable that Zhu Ning did not get angry and kill him.
In Pei Shu's eyes, Zhu Ning's plan was to fish in troubled waters, and if he was not careful, the entire army would be wiped out.
The plunderers were desperate criminals, and so was Zhu Ning. When they faced each other, it was like a firecracker that exploded with a crackling sound. Things happened at an incredibly fast speed, so chaotic and fast that Pei Shu couldn't even provide support.
After the glass windows exploded, the drifting heavy rain was like someone pouring a basin of water on their heads. The curtains on the car windows were blown high, and the rain was hazy. They only saw that their boss was drowned by the water ghost.
Several looters were also drowned. Some of them were discarded like chess pieces by Li Xiugang before they could even react. One person finally couldn't help but make a sound in desperation.
A hand grabbed the speaker's ankle. They had seen murders on trains before, but they had never seen clear details.
Now it was as if it was deliberately slowed down, and I could see it clearly, violating the rules of speaking. The outstretched hand was covered with pink eggs, and it didn't look hard at all, but rather soft.
The man looked down. He was obviously a person with special abilities, but he was dragged away without any resistance, not knowing whether his abilities had been weakened or he was too afraid to move.
The surface of the carriage moved slightly, as if the soft body of the apple snail turned over, or as if it was eating.
Pei Shu guessed that the man must have become food for the apple snails.
The group of people who were submerged by water ghosts were even more chaotic. Water ghosts can only use water as a medium. They are just consciousness entities without human form.
After they pounced, they overlapped with the humans, looking like some abstract painting, with a foot growing out of one person's neck and a mouth growing out of another's chest.
The water ghosts are wearing clothes from various dynasties, and the plunderers are wearing protective clothing. When they are spliced together, there is a sense of forced grafting, which is indescribable and weird.
These plunderers didn't even struggle. Their bodies stiffened, and their hearts seemed to be squeezed by something invisible and powerful, and exploded immediately.
Death came so quickly that I only felt endless fear and depression. Outside the wall, this was a good way to die because it was quick and not painful.
Everyone is the same in front of the rules. All the calculations between Zhu Ning and Li Xiugang are meaningless. The two groups are like chickens in a cockfighting arena, racking their brains to fight for victory, and both are ruthless and want to kill their opponents.
But after the water ghost died, it was as if someone opened the chicken coop and cut a horizontal knife across the chicken's neck.
All calculations and plans are meaningless, as the true arrival of death is more ruthless than expected.
It is worthy of being the thing that killed Zhu Ning eight times. Ordinary people don’t even have eight chances in front of the water ghost and will die on contact.
Pei Shu's heart forgot to beat, as if his heart was pinched out of thin air and he became one of the hunted targets.
Zhu Ning was right. If they couldn't find a way out of this situation, they would all die here together.
With a sound of yelping——
The train suddenly stopped and the doors of the carriages opened, revealing another abandoned platform with Hushan Station written on it.
They arrived at the station. According to Li Xiugang's estimation, two robbers should have gotten off the train at this time, but the train was so quiet that no one took any action.
There were corpses lying all over the car. One person was actually very close to the door. He probably wanted to escape, but it was too late to do anything.
When the door opened, his body fell to the ground with a bang, his upper body hanging on the platform, and blood gushed out like wildfire.
Two seconds later, a man rushed out of the station. He was wearing protective clothing and it was hard to tell who he was. It might be Li Xiugang.
But they don't have time to care, and even if they want to, they can't do anything because they haven't reached their destination yet.
The person who rushed out did not look back and ran all the way. Pei Shu's eyes followed his back. He was not hurt at all. This person should have gotten off the bus at his destination normally.
Some people can get off the bus, but some people are trapped in the bus until they die.
The water ghosts stood there eerily, stepping on the corpses. They were so densely packed that it was difficult to see what was going on.
Where is Zhu Ning?
After a strange silence, Lin Xiaofeng moved her feet, and her body flickered, like a broken screen, appearing and disappearing.
Pei Shu guessed that she might be in a bad mental state, so he grabbed Lin Xiaofeng's arm to stop her from moving forward.
Three windows were blown out, and water stains were spreading everywhere, making it easy to step in if you weren't careful.
Pei Shu had witnessed the horror of water ghosts killing people, so if something happened to Lin Xiaofeng, he would have no ability to save him.
Qi Xueliu gave up controlling one of her cloth shoes and took two steps back. The water would soon flow to this side.
If Zhu Ning died, they would probably not live long.
Lin Xiaofeng's body flashed again and again, and she raised her arm to point in one direction. She didn't know if it was because she was used to pretending to be a ghost, but her every move was ghostly and eerie. Qi Xueliu almost thought that she was in the same team with the water ghost opposite.
Qi Xueliu looked in the direction Lin Xiaofeng's finger was pointing. In fact, the water ghosts were standing very close together, shoulders touching shoulders. Although the water ghosts had no physical form, people's vision would be blocked by them.
Among them, several water ghosts were wearing clothes that were who knows how many hundreds of years old. They were standing with their backs to them. It looked like they were surrounding someone, but they didn't take any action.
Qi Xueliu had dealt with these water ghosts before. She could control them with her mind, but she couldn't kill them completely. Either Qi Xueliu's mental strength wasn't strong enough, or she couldn't do it.
Qi Xueliu looked through the gap. The ability to control with the mind had a small function that allowed it to bypass objects and see what was on the back, much like releasing spiritual consciousness when cultivating immortals.
Qi Xueliu was a little smarter and could see farther than Pei Shu and the others. In the gap between the water ghosts, she saw half a face. No, not half, just a narrow gap of three centimeters.
Zhu Ning, with disheveled hair, sat against the carriage, just behind the water ghost, looking like an unlucky guy who couldn't buy a seat and could only buy a standing ticket.
Her face was pale, no different from a corpse. She was probably resisting with her teeth gritted. Her body was tense, and the muscles in her back and arms were all stretched straight.
When Li Xiugang blasted the glass, Zhu Ning's outstretched hand was covered with black mucus, which was a signal to eat. She did not hear the system's death warning in her mind, and turned a blind eye to the oncoming water and water ghosts.
The glass broke, the rain poured, and the water ghost came, killing people in just a few seconds.
But Li Xiugang overlooked one thing: Zhu Ning's target was a mind controller, and she was only two inches away from the yellow sand at the time.
If Zhu Ning was killed by the water ghost, Huang Sha would suffer the same fate.
Huangsha's awareness was not as high as his leader's. When he realized that he had been abandoned, his first reaction was of course to use his mental power to resist the water ghost. He was not saving Zhu Ning but saving himself. Zhu Ning just happened to be close to him.
Huang Sha's ability is superior to Qi Xueliu's, and his resistance range is larger. When the water ghost just appeared, he was forcibly suppressed for two seconds. The water ghost that pounced on him seemed to be suspended in mid-air.
Two seconds later, he also began to feel the strain and was about to retreat when he heard a "puff" sound and one of Zhu Ning's arms had pierced his chest.
If you take care of the water ghost, you can't take care of Zhu Ning. One more second of chance means one more victory.
Zhu Ning's right hand was stuck in his chest, and black mucus was covering him from all directions. Her left hand was still holding Huang Sha's shoulder, like a cheetah eating, she would definitely bite the back of the antelope's neck and would not let him relax for a second.
Huang Sha saw Zhu Ning very close to him, with the water ghost behind him. Zhu Ning looked at him expressionlessly, like a carnivorous plant tightening its branches and swallowing a fat sheep with flesh and blood.
Huangsha opened his eyes wide, experiencing a strong sense of invasion and plunder at the end of his life.
Unable to struggle or resist, one can only be forced to endure the process of continuous loss.
Zhu Ning is the real devil.
After reinstalling the system, her reaction speed was much faster than before. This was not the first time she had killed a mutant to gain his abilities. The last time was Xu Meng.
Zhu Ning lowered her eyes. This feeling made her feel a little unfamiliar, as if the bloodthirsty switch in her heart had been turned on by someone. Zhu Ning didn't feel anything at all. It was quite strange that she didn't feel pain because of the passing of life.
Zhu Ning didn't have time to think so much. When she raised her eyes, the glass shards had just fallen to the ground. People were dying with every second. Death was like the bleak autumn wind, and no one was spared wherever it passed. One person wanted to say something in a hurry, but was grabbed away by a hand.
The mixture of blood and cold water gave off a disgusting smell.
The water ghost behind him lost the restraint of the yellow sand and was about to touch Zhu Ning's body. Zhu Ning had died eight times before and knew that he would have no power to fight back if touched by this thing.
The thread of thought instantly spread out behind Zhu Ning, blood-red and slender, just like the vines of some strange carnivorous plant, or like a bird spreading its huge red wings. Compared with the huge thread of consciousness, Zhu Ning looked so small below.
Zhu Ning had always felt that he and the water ghost were not in the same dimension, and all physical attacks could easily penetrate the water ghost's body. Now, for the first time, he felt the water ghost's entity, which was so cold and terrifying. It had been dead for many years, and its resentment was gathered. It was not something that a beginner in mind control like Zhu Ning could easily crush.
The action of force is mutual, the threads of consciousness entangled and spread, and the water ghost behind him seemed to have touched an invisible barrier and was stunned again.
Water ghosts can only kill through their thoughts, and the only way to fight them is through thoughts.
Zhu Ning repeatedly emphasized this sentence in her mind, but this matter was not as easy as she thought. It was the first time she experienced someone scraping her nerves, which was more than a hundred times more intense than the pain of the physical body. If it weren't for her strong ability to endure pain, she really wanted to scream out.
After only a short resistance, her face turned pale and she was covered in cold sweat.
No wonder Qi Xueliu felt so painful when she tried to suppress the blood shoes for the first time. Zhu Ning had a limited imagination of nerve pain. This was not a good idea at all. It was equivalent to fighting someone with fragile nerves.
Zhu Ning gritted her teeth, immediately let go of Huang Sha's body, and walked forward. Her legs felt heavier than before, as if she was walking in a swamp.
Zhu Ning was not completely soaked by the rain, but he was wet. According to the rule that water ghosts use water as a medium, Zhu Ning became the new medium of the water ghost. If it were not for the mental control that was still suppressing him, his body would now be covered with dense ghost shadows and he would die in less than a second.
The situation can only be said to be getting better, but it is still a long way from a reversal.
Only three windows were broken. There was a dry open space five meters away. Zhu Ning walked towards it step by step. Her eyelids began to tremble. When she walked to the back, she almost lost consciousness.
It is difficult to control with the mind. No wonder Qi Xueliu only has an accurate distance of six meters. No wonder such people with special abilities are so rare. Zhu Ning walked a few steps and felt like he was being skinned alive.
By the time she reached the dry corridor, Zhu Ning was already exhausted. Her knees felt weak and she almost fell to the ground. Her mouth was full of blood. She had just gained an ability, but it was about to exhaust herself.
Zhu Ning suppressed the smell of blood and didn't dare to spit it out, fearing that the blood could also be a medium.
As she kept a distance of one meter from the water stain, Zhu Ning felt the weight on her shoulders becoming heavier and heavier. She knew that she would die if she relaxed even a little.
It’s like playing a never-ending tug-of-war game, and if you relax you’ll die.
Zhu Ning's bed wasn't here, so he didn't dare sit in someone else's berth, so he sat against the carriage. Sitting on the ground, he happened to meet the eyes of the corpse in the lower berth, whose tongue was swallowing and spitting out apple snail eggs, constantly reminding Zhu Ning that he was still on the Homecoming.
There were groups of water ghosts just a few meters away. After the glass windows were broken, the car would probably be flooded soon. Zhu Ning was not sure that he could pass through the crowd of water ghosts without any damage.
She was forced to isolate herself from her teammates.
After a while, the Homecoming train started moving again and the doors closed. No one got on the train at this stop, and the next stop was waiting for her.
As the water stains spread, more and more water ghosts appeared, like monsters growing out of a swamp.
Next, we will probably have to depend on the weather. We will have to eat while watching the weather outside the wall. If the rain does not stop or even turns into a typhoon, Zhu Ning will not be able to do anything even if he can control it with his mind.
Normally, heavy rain doesn’t last long, so they can only pray that the rain stops soon and that the train arrives at Dora Station soon so they can get off normally.
Zhu Ning placed her hands on her knees and took deep breaths. Her head hurt so much that she couldn't think straight. She sat there for a while, getting used to the pain.
She took out Chen Qihang's notebook from her waist. This notebook was very strange. Zhu Ning's back was wet. Normally, the notebook would at least be wet, but there was no water stain on the surface of the cover. It seemed completely independent and not bound by any rules.
Zhu Ning held the notebook and thought about that question again. Guixianghao couldn't speak, and she couldn't force Pei Shu to answer. Did Pei Shu deliberately lead her into the car?
If not, how did Pei Shu know about the Homecoming?
