Chapter 12 Train Zero, Xiaomei, how about I give you a try? ...
The battle was nearing its end when the security officer finally arrived, albeit belatedly, from the back of the train.
There were fewer stowaways in the other carriages, and they all stopped fighting when the security personnel appeared. They sat obediently in their seats, but the strong smell of grass in the air was enough to show how fierce their fighting had been.
Jiang Yang was standing in front of the restroom when the safety officer passed by, and he subconsciously held his breath.
As if catching the culprit, the safety officer stopped beside him, shifted his gaze to Jiang Yang's face, then moved to... Jiang Yang's side... before quickly moving back and continuing forward.
A sneer seemed to come from the shadows.
Jiang Yang shook his head and quickly followed.
As he had expected, the order that had been restored after the battle collapsed again after they discovered that Jiang Yang's ticket was missing. When the security guard arrived, the fighting was still raging.
His ticket, the passenger's ticket, and the human skin ticket—these three are clearly the same, yet they also seem somewhat different. Jiang Yang felt that there might be something he hadn't discovered yet.
Some of the shadowy figures picked up the tickets from the ground and sat back down when they saw the security guard. Another one noticed Jiang Yang sneaking behind them, and after their eyes met, he also sat back down.
Jiang Yang confirmed it was Xiao Huang, his eyes darted around twice, and he grinned at the dark figure.
Huang Er, hidden beneath the skin, couldn't help but tremble, his inner monologue: "It's over."
Sure enough, after the security guard had tightly chained up all the other shadowy figures who were still causing trouble in the middle of the corridor, the security guard was about to leave with the group of shadowy figures.
Jiang Yang, who had somehow found a seat and was sitting down, suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Report! I'm reporting someone!"
"Brother! You think you're in class and you're reporting?" Huang Er roared inwardly.
The security guard at the front looked at Jiang Yang again. Jiang Yang pointed with his index finger and spoke sternly, "He is an illegal immigrant!"
Huang Er didn't even need to turn around to know that the other person was talking about him.
The safety officer's chain hooked onto Huang Er's shoulder, and the dark figure immediately stood up like a puppet, following at the very end of the group.
Fortunately, being enveloped in shadow, Huang Er couldn't feel the pain, and that was the only way he could comfort himself.
Seven dark figures were hooked onto the safety officer's chain. Jiang Yang glanced at them and realized that the maximum number of shadowy figures that could be controlled at once was seven. No wonder he said he couldn't manage the chaotic battle of more than twenty shadowy figures.
Jiang Yang followed stealthily at the back, feeling the resentment emanating from Huang Er along with the misty shadows, which made him shiver uncontrollably.
Feeling guilty, she whispered in a pleading tone, "Okay, okay, I promised you, alright~"
The marching column suddenly stopped, and Jiang Yang and Huang Er were stuck at the connection point of carriage 0607 and unable to move forward.
Jiang Yang moved to Huang Er's right. The dining car had a wide view, and she could see the short-haired girl confronting the security guard from afar.
Jiang Yang looked puzzled as to why Xiong Bingxin was here.
It was impossible to hear what Xiong Bingxin said, but she quickly turned and left with the people around her.
I wonder if Nan Ke is in her team.
The group moved forward again, but Jiang Yang didn't follow this time.
The safety officer led them to the front of carriage 06. A small door appeared on the inner wall, and the dark figures went in one after another. Jiang Yang'er was now certain that she had found the place she was looking for.
Next step: rescue Xiao Huang.
When the battle ended, he wondered if the black slime, which could disperse the black mist, might be the key to rescuing Little Yellow.
He knew he couldn't get that much slime right now, but he knew there was another place.
A chase involving safety officers.
When Jiang Yang rescued Xie Lu, the black mist on the iron gate was dispersed by the security guard. The black mist landed and adhered to the slime, instantly rising and purifying itself. That's why Jiang Yang told Nan Ke to let Xie Lu eat the steamed bun containing the slime.
Of course, there's another reason... never mind.
Before arriving, Jiang Yang had planned to go to the direction of car 02 to see if there were any train attendants selling food, but Xiong Bingxin's appearance made him temporarily give up that idea.
The act of reporting Xiao Huang was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, thinking it would be convenient for him to find him since it was on the way. Little did he know that it would come in handy at this moment.
After all, he's in car 06 now.
"Third, carriage 06 is the dining car; food purchased in the dining car may not be brought to other carriages..."
It only says that you can't bring it to other carriages, but it didn't say you can't hold it in the carriage without eating it, nor did it say you can't wave it around in the carriage.
Water: 10 (crossed out) 20
Jiang Yang clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Give me a bottle!"
"There are safety officers over there, what do we do now?" Xiong Bingxin and the others were facing the question of how to rescue Azi.
Nan Ke also guessed the purpose of the black slime, but after getting in the car, he and Xiong Bingxin slashed several shadowy figures without finding it, so they had to stop for the time being.
Xiong Bingxin couldn't stay still, so she led Sha Qiu and Meng Jiang to continue heading towards the back carriages, leaving Nan Ke Xie Lu A Zi to ponder in carriage 03.
"Give me a ticket, thanks bro."
On the small table in front of Nan Ke were the tickets that had fallen after they killed the shadowy figure. Xie Lu took two more out of his pocket, and Nan Ke compared them, his fingers tracing the words in the corner. "This is..."
"Used and unused."
Used tickets are marked "Checked," while unused tickets are blank.
Xie Lu took a few extra cards in addition to the ones for the four people.
On the ticket of the shadowy figure, there was one that, in addition to "ticket checked", also had the words "wrong ride" printed on it.
Sha Qiu hurriedly ran back, while Meng Jiang and Xiong Bingxin followed behind him, looking quite relaxed.
"What's wrong?" Azi asked in a panic.
Like Xie Lu, Xiong Bingxin gave him a medicine that could suppress his negative effects.
The medicine was of poor quality and could barely suppress the symptoms for another half hour, but he was still in a state of extreme anxiety.
“It’s nothing,” Sand Dune waved his hand, panting heavily. “We just ran into the security guard over at the dining car. Goodness, he had a whole line of dark figures behind him. Luckily, they didn’t attack us.”
“When we got on the bus, there was still a fight going on. It seems he really doesn’t care if people are killing each other during a fight,” Meng Jiang said, rubbing his chin.
Xiong Bingxin jumped out, patted the table, and gestured with her chin towards Nan Ke, "How's it going on your end?"
Not yet...
Before he could finish speaking, Xiong Bingxin snatched the ticket from his fingers. "Wrong train?"
His brows furrowed, and he muttered to himself, "The tickets are for no man's land. If they got on the wrong train... which train were they on before?"
"Could...could it be Train Zero?" A-Zi unconsciously swallowed.
If the passengers of Train Zero arrived at K0027, then these shadowy figures had entered no man's land...
"Do you think the tower knows?" Nan Ke smiled sarcastically, his gaze meeting Xiong Bingxin's, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
"Never mind, let's think about how to save Azi first," Sand Dune said, trying to smooth things over.
Nan Ke resumed his nonchalant demeanor, leaning back in his chair. "Are there still shadowy figures in car 06?"
"No," Xiong Bingxin said, finding a seat and sitting down.
"Now we have three options. First, we can check the back carriages, but I think the possibility of black slime is unlikely..."
"Secondly, you said the safety officer led a group of dark figures, so we can try to find these figures..."
"Third, into the sleeper compartment," Nan Ke remembered Jiang Yang saying that something had entered the compartment, which was probably a dark figure.
He paused, his tone slow and cold, "But I will not act with you."
We've broken up!
"Nan Ke, you big idiot! Who are you to talk to me about breaking up!"
Xiong Bingxin was so angry that she bared her teeth and brandished her claws, but Meng Jiang blocked her way and also became aloof. "Thank you, goodbye."
In the blink of an eye, only Nan Ke and Xie Lu remained in carriage 04. Xie Lu sat down in front of Nan Ke, "Perhaps she doesn't know?"
"How could she not know! The Tower's lackey!" Nan Ke's eyes reddened, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Xie Lu leaned forward, reached across the table, and gently patted the person's hair twice, softening his tone.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Putting aside his stance, Nan Ke was actually quite willing to get in touch with Xiong Bingxin.
However, when it comes to their positions, they both know that Xiong Bingxin will always choose Gaota as her priority.
The power structure in unclaimed territories can be roughly divided into three categories.
One type is like Xiong Bingxin, who is mainly gathered and trained by the Tower and works for the Tower.
One type is the mercenary guild like Xie Lu, which doesn't have a clear stance on the surface.
Another type is the Nan Ke, a cohesive force whose core objective is clearly to destroy the tower.
However, rumors circulated within the No Man's Land that Ji Yang, the head of the mercenary guild, was more inclined to oppose the Tower, which is why Nan Ke was able to maintain a relationship with Xie Lu for so long.
Seeing that Nan Ke had calmed down, Xie Lu, unusually, felt like teasing him. "What are you planning to do now, boss?"
"I won't let them have their way!" Nan Ke said, sniffing slightly. "Can you drive a train?"
Xie Lu really doesn't know what to do. "What are you going to do?"
"Let's drive the car straight back to the no-man's land!"
Jiang Yang held the bottle of mineral water without moving, and his hand, which was extended from the counter, also remained still.
Wearing black gloves, palms up, Jiang Yang took two steps back while holding the water bottle and said matter-of-factly, "I have no money!"
The hand retracted ten centimeters, then suddenly reached out from behind the counter. Jiang Yang staggered backward to dodge, but the arm, formed by condensed black mist, stretched out continuously, aiming precisely at Jiang Yang.
"No, this isn't what I expected!"
Yes, he originally planned to use the same trick again, to get the safety officer to pull him into the chase.
With one foot already across the connection, Jiang Yang felt a slight pull on the bottled water in his hand and hurriedly retreated back into carriage 06.
His eyes darted back and forth over the enormous arm. After returning to the carriage, he didn't stop for a moment, muttering to himself, "How stingy! I haven't even gone to the other carriages yet!"
Soon, after his seemingly chaotic movements, which were actually quite deliberate, his arms became tangled in a knot, stopping him in front of him and unable to move forward.
Slumped in his seat, staring at the ceiling of the carriage, he wondered to himself, "This shouldn't be happening. Why isn't there a safety officer in charge?"
The safety officer locked the person inside but didn't go in himself, so he must still be in the carriage... Jiang Yang pondered for a while.
Without a security guard, he wouldn't be able to see that hidden door.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in the young man's vacant eyes.
Xiaomei, how about I give you a try?
