Chapter 28
Team channel.
【One group is in place.】
【Group Two is in place.】
…
【Ten groups are in place.】
Ten thousand players were divided into ten groups, forming a circle around the pre-determined accident site. This way, even if all five hundred players on T21 were to transform into ghouls simultaneously, they could be immediately trapped, preventing the damage from reaching the high walls of Lengbing City.
The T21 crash, plus hundreds of high-level ghoul tide missions, this trip has yielded more than enough.
Vice President Gar: [Where's Ali?]
[I've sent a message, but no response yet. I think they should be arriving soon.]
[Such an important mission, hasn't arrived yet?!]
He was unhappy, but he didn't say anything more extreme in the chat. While Ali wasn't the strongest in the guild, as a top player ranked 37th on the Destiny Rankings, he held considerable weight.
What's more, because of his brother Witt, Ali was the person designated by the association to be trained as a priority.
This mission should have belonged to Witt, but Witt insisted on giving it to Ali so that he could bring his brother to the super god level as soon as possible.
Vice President Gal stared at the light screen with dissatisfaction. Just as he was about to urge Ali personally, a silver meteor suddenly landed in front of him.
The man was wearing silver armor, and his handsome face was cold and arrogant.
"Yali!" the vice president was furious. "Didn't I tell you to wear a black cloak? You'll reveal the team's whereabouts!"
"The train is almost here. What difference does it make whether we're exposed or not? Even if the conductor brakes now, it's too late."
Yali said lazily and clicked the light screen.
【Ari: All A-rank and above ghouls will be mine from now on.】
The vice president looked at the message he had sent to the team channel and forced himself to suppress his anger: "Get ready, the train is coming soon."
After leaving Lengbing City, the T21 stopped honking its horn. The clanging sound and the bright yellow headlights gradually approached.
2 kilometers.
——In the team channel, the member responsible for surveying the distance was counting down.
1 kilometer.
Tens of thousands of Gal members lay on the ground, holding their breath, waiting for the next count.
However, they suddenly heard a bang, a sharp sound of metal friction piercing the night sky, coming from far away. Then, there was a loud bang.
Everyone realized that it was the sound of a train losing control and derailing, which was supposed to happen in the encirclement!
Vice President Gal: [What's going on!]
[President, T21 has gone off track early! ]
When this message appeared on the screens of all members, the unique roars of ghouls exploded, one after another outside the dark encirclement.
*
Two minutes ago, on the T21 train.
This train was the only and safest option for low- and mid-level players to reach Onigashima. Inside the dimly lit carriage, passengers slumbered. Many found the 24-hour journey too long, the desolate scenery along the way too tedious, and opted to simply leave the train.
The invisibility effect was activated offline, and half of the seats in the carriage, which should have been full, were empty.
A man stood at the junction of the carriages. He was wearing a black windbreaker, his face shrouded in the shadow of a gentleman's hat. He stood silently for a moment, then walked towards an empty seat.
The seat wasn't as flat as it looked, feeling like sitting on a cushion of flesh. He didn't mind it and reached out to the passenger sitting by the window.
The passenger had fallen asleep with his head against the window.
The slightly cool fingertips touched the passenger's cheek, and he opened his eyes immediately because he was still not completely letting down his guard.
His wide-open eyes were filled with pain, but not a sound came out of his open mouth.
Until half a minute later, a brand new ghoul was born in his body.
The man in the windbreaker smiled slightly, stood up, and was bumped on the shoulder.
He is a train security guard who is in a hurry.
The man flared his nostrils and took a light sniff - he was also a person of destiny.
The security soldier didn't even turn his head, as if he had something really urgent to do, and simply jogged in the narrow corridor.
The man didn't chase after him. He glanced at the newly divided ghoul and shrugged, "Buffet, never tried it?"
In the previous carriage, the security guard stopped jogging and simply used his mobility skills to rush into the cockpit.
"Stop the car! Stop the car now!"
The train driver was an NPC. He looked at him in surprise but did not move.
On the entire train, he and the conductor were the only NPCs. As for the 20-man security team, they were all Oli players. Compared to the other Oli teams, being a security guard on T21 was clearly a lucrative position.
The driver turned his head to look at the leather sofa in the corner.
He was a man of destiny who held the title of deputy director of the railway station security station and was also the leader of all the security guards on the train.
The deputy director was also woken up and frowned at his team members: "Are you mad? We just set off, why are you parking the car?"
"Something's going to happen! Guild Gal is causing trouble. Our train is going to flip over!" The security guard quickly adjusted the screen, switched to visible mode, and showed him the message. "Captain, I'm sure you've received the notice too. It was sent personally by the Huaiyin branch chief!"
The deputy director jumped off the sofa and asked, "What happened? The train? The tracks? Did those bastards tamper with the tracks?"
"It could be!" The security guard was so anxious that he jumped to his feet. If it weren't for his guild duties, he would have jumped out the window and escaped. "Captain, stop the car!"
"Stop the car!" the deputy director yelled at the driver.
It's too late.
The train seemed to have hit something, making a dull clang and shaking the floor violently. The driver hurriedly slowed down, and the sharp sound of the brakes sounded strange.
They're off the rails.
The wheels did not brake on the track, but rubbed violently against the metal wall on the outside of the track.
The ejected sparks were almost level with the car window.
"Jump out the window, jump!" the deputy director yelled at the security guard.
Not to mention it’s just a game, even if you encounter a similar accident in real life, self-protection is the first priority.
The two ignored the driver, smashed the glass with their weapons, and used their mobility skills to jump out of the window.
The front of the train has already rushed out of the edge of the viaduct.
They had just jumped out and had not yet landed when the entire train lost control and overturned, like a giant whip, smashing down on them mercilessly.
boom!
Faced with such a huge vehicle, they had no power to resist and were instantly crushed into juicy meat patties. Then, as the train moved on the ground by inertia, they were ground into minced meat.
The iron sheets rubbed against the gravel, sparks flew everywhere, and the train was like a giant dragon on fire, illuminating the inky black night.
Just a moment.
It was enough for Anrou to see Paopao’s pale face.
It was also enough for her to catch a glimpse of the horrific corpses that appeared out of nowhere on the wasteland.
They are all offline players, who peacefully enter the state of death in their "sleep".
The blood and flames, the screams and cries made Paopao unable to recover for a long time.
An Rou couldn't wait for him, so she squatted down and touched the thin line of Bao Fu's neck that was exposed above the ground: "Bao Bao, no matter if dead or alive, eat as much as you can. If you can't eat anymore, remember to finish him off. And be quick!"
The player's corpse, her money tree seeds - this is An Rou's purpose, the reason why she chose to cause the train to crash in advance!
The ambushers from the Gal Guild would arrive soon. Before then, she had precious time to make a fortune without getting hurt.
The two kinds of magic that emerged after the sudden wealth upgrade were like timely relief.
In the "pseudo-dormant" state, the land is an ocean of sudden wealth, and it is a giant whale swimming in the ocean.
Once the "Elephant Swallowing" ghost technique is activated, its mouth becomes like a small black hole, capable of swallowing more than a dozen corpses with each bite.
There were many survivors among the passengers, their mobility varying, all emitting the fragrance of souls. The rich swallowed a few ready-made corpses, its massive body flicking like a giant whale's tail, briefly appearing on the ground.
It turned over, and the twenty or so bone blades and the abnormally long bone knives on its limbs turned into the scythe of the god of death to reap lives.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and even many new ghouls secretly born on the train were not spared. After the death of the physical body, it transformed wildly, and the transformation was not over yet. The bone blade swept through like a harvester, exploding into a sky full of gold coins.
These task rewards were swallowed by it in one gulp.
An Rou squinted her eyes and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth: "One more bite, one more bite..."
Paopao suddenly pulled my arm.
"Look!" Paopao pointed to the night sky, and the nearby firelight reflected his terrified expression.
An Rou followed his hand and saw a figure hovering in the air, his windbreaker swaying, streaked with red lines like lightning. In his hand, he held a strange-looking weapon, resembling a steel whip, but with a curved sickle attached to the end.
With every crack of the whip, red lines surged towards the steel whip, and the whip suddenly extended, dragging the sickle around the train.
Wherever it passed, there were flowers of blood.
An Rou's heart tightened: "Bao Bao, come back soon!"
She couldn't hold back her voice, and the people in the air seemed to hear it and looked over.
Beneath the hat, red lines illuminate the upward-curved thin lips and a pair of deep red eyes.
He was smiling at her!
Before An Rou could react, Paopao had already switched the light screen to visible mode.
"It, it's not a player, it's a ghoul, SS-level!" There was a tremor in the voice.
Ghoul?
SS level, the same as getting rich overnight?
It is the culprit for this advanced mission T21?!
But the other party still maintains a human form, has intelligence, and can use weapons - when all these are added together, his strength is probably much higher than that of the rich!
“Violence…”
An Rou stopped after shouting one word, relaxed her tense nerves, and tried to use her consciousness to make Bao Fu retreat.
Caught off guard, she heard another voice.
[Eat, eat! When you're full, come with me to Lengbing City to taste the so-called top 100 masters and see how delicious their souls really are!]
——The voice of that ghoul!
An Rou's heart skipped a beat, and for the first time, her consciousness lost control. She was pulled by something and fell into nothingness.
My eyes went dark, then bright!
The entire overturned train and the players rushing around in blood and fire are all in sight!
She actually saw what the SS-level ghoul saw!
An Rou didn't have time to digest this shocking phenomenon. She saw the scene suddenly change and focus on a certain place on the ground.
That was the frightened face of the rich man that suddenly emerged from the ground.
[What are you doing here to cause trouble? Go to hell!]
The steel cable sickle swung in the air, red lines wrapped around the blade, and shot towards the face!
"Get rich! Stop it!" An Rou shouted.
The sickle really stopped.
[Who are you?! How did you get inside my body...?]
puff--
An Rou's vision trembled, and her consciousness was inexplicably thrown out and returned to her own body. She stared wide-eyed, only to see the ghoul split in two from head to toe, and the steel sickle flew out of her hand.
The abnormally long bone knife was like a collapsed flagpole, sliding in a semicircle in the air and sinking into the ground.
Yes...sudden wealth killed it!
But it’s not over yet.
The ghoul that parasitizes the player's body has two lives: one is the survival of the host, and the other is the death.
This SS-level ghoul has changed drastically!
