NOVEL NEXT Chapter 330: Nightmare
Under the Dark Forest, a mysteriously appearing train lay across the trees in the mountain forest. Thousands of trees were crushed and broken, with the screeching metal of various carriages echoing continuously. This giant piece of modern industrial machinery suddenly appeared here, without any warning.
Lin Xian attempted to look into the distance using a drone, but under the dark veil, he could only make out some mountain outlines. It was as if due to the thick black fog's visual distortion, the massive mountains in the distance appeared to be slowly writhing, with those shadows dissolving and reforming in the mist. The sky was an eerie deep blue, starless and moonless, making it hard to discern the terrain and tell any direction.
Lin Xian seemed to be the first one to awaken from the state of lost consciousness. When he grabbed Chen Sixuan and assessed their current situation through the drone, others came to their senses from shock, or perhaps…awoke.
[Detected a massive invasion of dark fear power]
The alarm of the Heterogeneous Rubik's Cube sounded incessantly.
Zzz
In the communicator, the internal frequency of the Infinity finally returned to normal. KIKI had already rushed to the front carriage and, upon seeing Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, shouted loudly.
"Are you two okay?!"
"How are the others?!" Lin Xian saw KIKI, immediately contacting the other carriages.
"Okay!"
"We're all OK."
"Rear carriage is safe!"
In an instant, messages came flooding in from all the carriages of the Infinity, with a cacophony of panicked noises in the communicator. It was clear that everyone had just snapped out of that terror-induced daze.
"Brother Shi, how is it on your side?" After confirming the situation of the Infinity, Lin Xian began to inquire about the other trains.
Amid intermittent signal breaks, Dragon Mountain No.1 finally relayed information, but the first sound in the communicator was a burst of gunfire!
Bang bang bang!
At the same time, other teams also continuously reported gunfire, screams, and roars.
"Dark mutation!" someone shouted.
"Lao Chen, no!"
"Kill him quickly!!"
"The carriage is out of control, seal it!!"
Da-da-da, bang bang bang!
"Wake up, it's our own people!"
In an instant, countless painful wails and shouts spread through the public channel, and everyone at this moment understood that the dark mutation had erupted internally!
"Seal all carriages, resolve internally!" On the Dragon Mountain No.1 side, Shi Deyuan led Ning Jing and a group of people swiftly sprinting through each carriage, continuously resolving internal mutations, suppressing panic, and personally shooting and killing those once familiar, beloved, and dear faces!
At the same time, he shouted on the leader's channel: "Lin, other teams, the spirit vibration value here is off the charts, quickly resolve the internal crisis, surely there are Abnormal Bodies approaching!"
On the Joker team side, Qian Deli acted swiftly, a golden flash darted through the carriages, swiftly twisting the necks of several mutated subordinates with cold decisiveness. In such situations, his speed was the fastest, and everyone kept a stern look towards their comrades who had been personally killed by their boss. In the Joker team, everyone had long reached a consensus that mutation meant death, but if one's mutation harmed their own, that was the true disgrace.
"We've already resolved it. Now the issue is, we seem to have derailed." Qian Deli looked coldly at the fallen chef Lao Zhou, sighing quietly.
The Queen Mo also faced frequent issues, but Monica's subordinates all wore Power Armor linked to her control system. If any individual's vital signs or heart rate showed abnormalities, an alarm would immediately trigger, locking the Power Armor program to prevent using weapons or attacking comrades, then they would be dealt with.
However, there were a dozen women bought from Lao Xie in one of her carriages, and at this moment, three among them had already mutated, biting and killing two others before Monica managed to dispatch them…
Monica quickly remarked while looking at the holographic display of the train's surrounding environment: "We found the reason why Boss Hu got lost. Star Abyss seems to have directly torn us into another space or area."
On the Infinity, Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, with KIKI, ran toward the rear carriages. The odd power had also startled Ding Junyi in carriage No.3. She followed Lin Xian, reaching the rear and glimpsing the outside world through the gap in the window shades, remarking: "Could Star Abyss be some kind of singularity like a black hole? The nearest forest to the Akse Desert should be at least 4000 kilometers away, which is truly unbelievable."
"Captain Lin!"
Shu Qin rushed over, followed by Luo Yang, Lv Chang, Lao Mo, and Sun Yuzhen.
"Captain Lin, this was the same situation we encountered before!!!" Lao Mo, still recuperating, exclaimed loudly with a face full of horror: "We need to leave here fast, or else…"
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, a massive tremor suddenly hit. It seemed to come from the other teams behind, dragging all the carriages ahead forcefully backward, almost making Lin Xian and the others lose their balance.
"What happened?!"
"Abnormal Body!!"
Boom boom boom!
Huge impacts came crashing in, and in the dark forest, various eerie sounds that made one's scalp tingle began to rise, as if countless unknown creatures were quickly closing in on the Joint Train.
"The teams in the rear fell into the water!"
"Fell into the water?"
"Captain Lin, we and Wind Sail, Great Victory, Iron Fortress… are all stuck on a swamp. The Ocean and Parrot behind us have sunk into the lake!"
Red Rose Team Captain Zhou Hongqu stood in the tilting carriage, observing the countless bizarre writhing tentacles in the swamp outside, along with the indescribable monsters already crawling atop the carriages, struggling to contain her panic as she reported to the teams ahead.
