"It's the pursuers!"
Lady Gray Fog had a grave expression on her face as she said in a low voice, "The hunters still caught up to us!"
It was not surprising that the Apocalypse Organization would chase after them.
But the time and place they chose was damn perfect. It was the time when the wind, rain, and thunderstorm were at their fiercest. In front of them was a dangerous section that spanned several mountain ranges and was made up of dozens of tunnels and railroad bridges. The railroad bridges were built between the rolling mountains, and the height difference was more than a hundred meters. Below them were raging rivers. Due to the continuous rainstorms, even the originally calm streams had turned into turbid dragons. Even the superhumans who had awakened the memories of their previous lives and combat strength would not be spared if they fell into the river and were swept away by the surging flood.
In the blink of an eye, the train had already reached the first railroad bridge, and it was impossible for them to turn back.
"Li Yao, Sparda, get on the train!"
Lady Gray Fog opened a gap in the carriage, and an ear-piercing screech immediately poured in along with the storm. The world seemed to have turned into an ocean, and the stinky "seawater" instantly filled the entire carriage. It even tore the walls around them apart, exposing them to the thunder and lightning.
Daniel Zhang screamed again, failing to live up to his expectations.
The Awakened nicknamed "Ghost Cat" hurriedly pressed his hands on his temples. A gentle blue light gushed out from his palms, quickly calming him down and causing him to fall into a drowsy state.
From the looks of it, the Phantom Cat's superpowers leaned toward the mind, hypnosis, and brainwave interference. It was indeed a rather useful ability. It was no wonder that she, as a Deep Seer, was qualified to join the escort team.
This was not the time to think. Besides, Lady Gray Fog had really turned into a gray fog and crawled out of the gap. Li Yao did not have time to think. He tightened his grip on the lightsaber by his waist and took a long-range weapon that could be worn completely around his wrist from Sparda. Then, he crawled out.
The wind and rain outside the train were like invisible hammers, fiercely pounding on the people who were clinging to the walls and roofs of the train.
There were also bolts of lightning that fell around the tracks one after another. They were even attracted by the electrical components at the front of the train, causing dazzling sparks to explode on the front of the train.
Coupled with the pitch-black bottomless abyss on both sides of the railway bridge, it was really like traveling on a single-plank bridge above the netherworld. It was a nightmarish scene that one would never forget after a single glance.
If it was an ordinary person who had not awakened, even if they were well-trained elite soldiers, it would be difficult for them to move in such a harsh environment, let alone fight.
Even a hunter like Li Yao couldn't lift his head because of the storm.
It was not easy to climb up to the roof of the train. He saw a strange man with long arms and legs, wearing crimson goggles and a combat raincoat. This man was called "Spider". He was a helper arranged by the Ark Foundation at the train station. After the train started moving, he had been staying on the roof of the train to observe and guard. He must have some kind of supernatural ability that was not afraid of wind and rain.
"Look up!"
Spider gestured toward the sky.
Li Yao wiped the cold rain off his face. He reluctantly raised his head and forced himself to open his eyes wide.
At first, he didn't see anything except the dark sky and earth. But when a bolt of lightning tore through the sky and illuminated the earth, he saw it!
It seemed to be dozens of huge falcons.
It also looked like a glider or a huge drone.
Li Yao didn't know what kind of drone could fly stably in such bad weather and accurately track a fast train.
But when he thought about how the Ark Foundation had technology and fantasy weapons that surpassed the era, the Apocalypse Organization, which was supported by the "Earth's Will," naturally wouldn't just rely on 21st-century weapons to fight.
"Crash!"
Another thunderclap sent a series of upside-down lightning bolts to the ground. The lightning lasted for more than ten seconds, allowing Li Yao and the others to clearly see the pursuers in mid-air.
That, that was actually a person!
The awakened members of the Apocalypse Organization were wearing "flying suits" that looked like moles. They also carried huge jetpacks on their backs. Wide metal wings spread out on both sides, and dark flames spewed out from their backs. They swooped down towards the train in an extremely dexterous manner.
Of course, not all of them were awakened. There were indeed many drones under the awakened's control. They were like flaming arrows, shooting at them.
"Ah!"
Sparda let out an angry roar. He held a strange-looking but definitely ferocious gun in each hand and fired continuously into the air. What shot out from the muzzle was not a storm of bullets but balls of dazzling plasma. They exploded fiercely in the air and turned into an electric net that swept across a range of hundreds of meters.
Li Yao was close by. He could feel the power of the plasma from the trembling air. His fingernails crackled and burst.
The skin on Sparda's hands and body was also chapped, revealing bright red flesh. After being hit by the raindrops, he should be in so much pain that he would rather die. However, he didn't feel anything. He only cared about howling and bombarding indiscriminately.
The attack range of the two "plasma guns" was extremely wide. Many of the Apocalypse Organization's pursuers were hit by lightning. Their bodies were wrapped in electric arcs. Holes were burned in their flying suits, and the metal wings on their backs were severely distorted. Coupled with the interference of the storm, they couldn't control their direction. Their heads tilted, and they fell down.
Below was the fog and torrents between the mountains. These pursuers missed the train and the bridge and plunged into the stormy waves. In a moment, they were silent.
Li Yao, Ms. Gray Mist, and Spider also joined the battle. Destructive fireworks bloomed in the most gorgeous manner in mid-air, forcing the pursuers to scatter.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! "
Seeing the fierce firepower of the Ark Foundation, the pursuers changed their strategy. The speed of the drones instantly increased. While still in mid-air, they ignited raging flames like burning skulls.
"Hit the drones first!"
Sparda should be a weapons expert in the organization. He instantly sensed the strangeness of the drones and ordered everyone to focus all their firepower on the drones. As expected, a fireball dozens of meters in diameter instantly appeared when a drone was blown up. The fireball was mixed with wisps of grayish-white flames that looked like death. It looked extremely strange, and it was hard to believe that these drones exploded above the carriage.
More drones rushed to dive. Fortunately, the railway bridge had come to an end at this time, but in front of them was a tunnel in the middle of a mountain.
When the train entered the tunnel, the range that needed to be defended instantly shrank to the extreme. Everyone opened fire together, destroying all the drones outside the tunnel. The fireball was like a raging dragon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, but it couldn't catch up to the high-speed train.
However, the alert was far from lifted.
This was only a short tunnel that was less than a thousand meters long. The pursuers who were still in mid-air could easily cross the mountain and circle in front of them.
Li Yao and the others gritted their teeth and looked at the exit of the tunnel in front of them.
As expected, when the train drove out of the tunnel, more than ten pursuers in flying suits were already hovering not far above them like hungry crows. They even wanted to dive onto the train.
"Die!"
Sparda roared and bombarded again, sending a pursuer who had just jumped onto the roof of the train flying. He crashed into the rocks by the side of the railway and was smashed to pieces. However, he didn't expect that there were pursuers lying in ambush at the back of the tunnel exit. They took the opportunity to sweep past him at a low altitude, and their sharp claws and teeth cut open three bone-deep wounds on his right shoulder. The plasma gun in his right hand flew out and disappeared into the darkness.
The pursuer's smug laughter seemed to come from midair, like the cry of a crow.
The Lady of the Grey Fog snorted coldly. Her lips parted slightly, and a faint grey fog wrapped around the pursuer like a flying snake with wings. Soon, it spread out and completely enveloped him in a large cluster of grey fog, depriving him of his five senses. He crashed into the mountain at an extremely high speed and turned into a miserable fireball.
However, the interruption of the continuous firepower also created an excellent landing opportunity for the pursuers, including Hunter Hugo Smith, who was still wearing a suit, sunglasses, and black leather shoes without a speck of dust in such a motherf * cking environment. Seven pursuers, including Smith, landed on the roof of the train lightly.
Boom! Crack! Boom! Crack!
Lightning flashed one after another, temporarily illuminating the black and white world.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The river below the train and the rolling mountains in the distance let out deafening roars. It was the sound of a mudslide erupting. Billions of tons of rocks and mud rolled over and swallowed everything.
Even the train itself was trembling strangely. It was as if the viaduct that supported the tracks and the train would collapse at any time.
On this doomsday-like stage, the Ark and the Apocalypse, the Prison Breakers and the Prison Keepers, faced each other coldly across two carriages.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Li Yao also saw the Hunter not far away bowing slightly to him, as if making a "hello" gesture.
Before he could react, the train had already entered the second tunnel.
This was a tunnel that was twelve kilometers long, which meant that they would be in absolute darkness for a long time.
The arrival of darkness was also the horn of battle.
Losing their vision was not a big obstacle for many awakened ones. Instead, it increased the intensity and variables of the battle.
For a time, the sound of footsteps, gunshots, bullets colliding, and the sound of sharp blades unsheathing, cutting flesh, and breaking bones rose and fell one after another, incessant.
Li Yao also felt an extremely sharp force sweeping across his chest, as if it wanted to dig out his heart.
There was no time to think. Instinctively, he leaned back and kicked out with both feet at the same time. As expected, he hit the target, but it was like kicking rubber. The feedback was very dull and extremely uncomfortable.
However, he finally put some distance between him and his opponent. His wildly beating heart told him that this was definitely the most dangerous enemy.
"Student Li Yao, I didn't expect you to still be alive. And in just a few days, you have such … wonderful power."
Sure enough, the Hunter's polite and extremely cold voice came from the darkness.
