"So this instance is related to railways or moving things, like subways?" Lianrong immediately realized.
"You'll know once you try," the old man replied.
By this time, more than twenty people had gathered outside the abandoned railway tracks. The number of people was probably enough, and some people began to take action.
Han Meimei hugged her boyfriend and wished him good luck, then watched as the group walked hand in hand into the railway area.
When Cheng Shuang opened her eyes, she found herself in a train carriage, surrounded by familiar faces. This time, her companions hadn't gotten separated.
The scenery outside the window kept changing, a vast expanse of white that made it feel like being in a snowy world.
Lianrong, standing beside her, immediately exclaimed in a small voice, "Could it be the Snow Country Train?"
This was a very ordinary green train, with a distinctly vintage feel in the carriages. Based on this, Sun Han shook his head; he had clearly seen the movie Snowpiercer.
“No, trains are different.” He sighed, looking out the window. “It could be even worse than the backdrop of Snowpiercer.” Because he saw tiny silver dots moving rapidly toward the train on the snow.
Not just one, but a whole swarm, densely packed. Because of their color, their presence is not obvious in the icy world, but they cannot escape the senses of the maintainers.
Aside from the six people in the carriage, everyone else was an ordinary passenger, or what the players called an NPC. Unaware of the impending danger, they were all busy with their own things. Some children were asking their parents for snacks, while others were young couples on their way to visit relatives and friends, enjoying each other's company...
Although the air inside the carriage was complicated and smelly, the atmosphere was unusually relaxed.
Unfortunately, all the peace and tranquility is about to vanish into nothingness.
Cheng Shuang quickly and angrily counted her cards, then resignedly took out the teddy bear.
It's not that I don't believe in the bear cub's abilities, it's just that the environment of the green train has certain limitations on its advantages in height and strength.
The little bear quietly patted the little girl's head, offering silent comfort, and then peered out the window to carefully observe the tiny silver dot frantically chasing the train.
Du Jun and the others sitting on the outside also gathered around the window to study the appearance of the unknown creature, hoping to find the key to make it quickly and fatal.
These are animals that resemble large otters, but with a silvery-white, armor-like shell. Judging from the structure of their scales, they also look like crocodiles.
Their faces resemble those of otters, but they have a pointed beak like a bird. Their limbs and claws are short, thick, and powerful, kicking up a layer of ice and snow when they run. Not to mention, their tails can curl or straighten, exuding a strong aura, which should also be their weapons.
As a group of unknown animals gradually approached, their presence was finally discovered.
"My God! It's a monster!"
One person's scream triggered a commotion among the crowd.
"Radiation monster?! How can there be a radiation monster?"
"Weren't they wiped out years ago?"
The screams triggered an even bigger problem. Everyone in the carriage was in chaos. Some people ran frantically toward the front of the train, others searched for weapons to protect themselves, and still others held their children and wept in despair.
Cheng, quick as a flash, grabbed a man carrying a thermos flask who looked like he was about to fight the monster, and shouted through the noise, "Uncle, what is a radiation monster? Do they eat people?"
The innocent child's voice was still quite childish. The man's anxious and tense expression softened after he lowered his head, and he nodded heavily. "They eat people." Deceiving an ignorant child was pointless; once the monsters broke through the carriage, no one could escape easily. "Radiation monsters are mutated beasts. I didn't expect there to be a group hiding here. Those damned guys, they created a deadly weapon that harms both themselves and others..."
The rest of the conversation consisted entirely of complaints and accusations stemming from panic. From this, Cheng Shuang and the others gleaned a few pieces of information about the radiation monster.
They are born from radiation, live in extreme weather, and hide in every corner of the world.
From animals whose original form was a ferocious beast to insects and ants.
Their scales are as hard as stone, their tails are as flexible as snakes, their sharp beaks can pierce their chests, and their four claws are enough to scrape through iron.
In other words, the green train is no different from a piece of paper in front of the radiated monster.
However, their weakness lies in their eyes. Destroying their eyes will cause them to lose all senses, thus making everything around them within their attack range.
Of course, if you hide far enough away, they won't chase you.
"So you're holding the thermos to scald its eyes with hot water?" Cheng Shuang looked at the man curiously. The girl meant no harm; she just wanted to know how effective hot water would be against the radiation monster.
The man didn't speak, but judging from his stiff expression, Cheng Shuang sighed understandingly and then encouraged him, "You're very capable; at least you dared to try to fight back. It's better than someone who's now panicking, slumped in their seat, and crying their eyes out."
The man was embarrassed to be comforted by a child.
He tried his best not to let his negative emotions affect the little girl, who seemed either oblivious to the impending doom or genuinely calm and collected. He forced a smile and said, "Good luck!" Then he hurried off to find a more suitable weapon.
“But this idea works too,” Sun Han, who hadn’t spoken until now, suddenly said.
Since it's extreme weather, it must be incredibly cold outside.
At the very least, it can create the spectacular sight of water instantly freezing when splashed.
Lianrong's eyes lit up. She stood up and weighed the thermos on the table. "It's full." Then she pushed it to Cheng Shuang. She had never seen Xiong Baobao before, so she assumed the little girl didn't have any protective skills. But Cheng Shuang shook her head and turned to hand it to Sun Han and Du Jun.
Lianrong opened her mouth silently, her eyes revealing the obvious that the two of them were the weakest, so blunt that the old man snapped his fingers and tapped her on the forehead.
Du Jun and Sun Han did not refuse, nor were they the type to act rashly. Naturally, they would not misunderstand the girl's good intentions over such a small matter. On the contrary, seeing that the people in the seats in front and behind them were just shivering with their heads in their hands, they simply picked up their thermos flasks. After all, it was a form of attack, and who knows, it might work.
The green train wasn't slow, but the radiated monster was even faster.
Almost the instant Cheng Shuang and the others were on guard, the entire carriage trembled, followed by an even greater tremor. One after another, radiation monsters, each over a meter long, leaped up, their backs bent, and crashed into the glass windows.
It's easy to imagine how tough their scales are.
The number of radiation monsters was enormous, and they kept coming one after another. Although the green train did not stop, the windows and carriages were damaged to varying degrees.
Even faster-moving radiated monsters have already reached the front of the train, seemingly trying to force it to a stop.
The loudspeakers in the carriage promptly broadcast an announcement, essentially telling passengers not to panic and that rescue would arrive soon.
Unfortunately, these were all just empty words.
Soon after, the sound of shattering glass rang out.
Amidst desperate cries and wails, a silver monster with red eyes leaped into the carriage, plunging the cramped space into chaos.
Blood and screams filled everyone's hearts, as if a demon had descended upon the world and all light had vanished.
