"I knew it wouldn't be a small intercity train with such a spacious track. But looking at it, they think too highly of us."
When Li Xiang saw the flying steel dragon head, he did not even think about it before activating the Steam Maneuvering Device and flying into the air.
The steam maneuvering device's gas tank had a limited amount of gas, and there were no spare gas tanks now. Therefore, he had to use it sparingly.
As soon as he flew into the air, he saw Ji Yanqing beside him. Her movements were smooth, and it was obvious that this was not her first time using this device.
"You know how to do it too?"
"Yeah, I learned a little when I was interning at the National Military University of China." Ji Yanqing was too embarrassed to say that she was worried that Chen Fan would cause trouble at the First Military University of China. If something really happened, she could help clean up the mess nearby.
"I see. Actually, I think that Chen Fan's sister leaving might not be a bad thing." Based on the memories of his previous life, Li Xiang could deduce that Chen Fan was really a sister's treasure. If it were not for his sister's accident in his previous life, he would not have walked the path of a police officer and bravely moved forward, using this as his motivation to achieve his career.
It was the same now.
Li Xiang did not know what kind of person his sister was, but now this role was obviously taken over by Ji Yanqing. However, Ji Yanqing's heart was very clear, and she would not let him know that she was taking care of Chen Fan.
Both of them were smart people, and they smiled at each other.
"If you have time to talk about this with me, why don't you think about how to deal with this iron block?" Ji Yanqing flew higher, looking like she was above.
Seeing that she insisted on being taller than him by a head, Li Xiang chuckled. She was still a girl in her bones.
He looked at the dragon train speeding over. Looking at the front, this was a giant steam armored train produced by the Bai Clan Heavy Industries. When he first saw the "Chi Chi" and rode the "Camilla", he had imagined that one day he would be able to observe such a steel beast at such a close distance.
[After seeing the last spark of humanity, the two last guardians finally decided to abandon their past hatred and work together to complete the last escort mission. At the end of the sky, a wormhole is slowly opening.]
"Is there a real-time commentary?" Li Xiang estimated the time it would take for the steel behemoth to reach them. Then, he looked at the end of the sky according to the voice prompt. It would have been better if he didn't look, but when he did, his heart of calamity, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly started beating.
The Origin Substance clones could completely restore his body, including the ticking time bomb in his body.
The wormhole's appearance was somewhat similar to the spatial rift that Black Night Shadow had torn open. However, Black Night Shadow had only torn open a small opening, while this was a huge, solid hole.
Li Xiang could clearly feel the surrounding magic particles being swallowed by the wormhole.
If a shadowy creature also appeared, then he and Ji Yanqing would be doomed. The Goddess of Calamity would not allow such an enemy to appear.
"Men on the left, women on the right," Li Xiang casually made up an excuse. Without waiting for Ji Yanqing's reply, he flew to the left side of the track and landed.
The steel behemoth estimated that it would arrive in 30 seconds. He tried his best to run toward the wormhole, while Ji Yanqing ran in the opposite direction.
"He's leaving the most dangerous mission to himself. This kid is surprisingly manly." In the VIP stands, Yue Xingling's father, Gus, looked at the screen with his sleeping daughter in his arms and laughed.
"Huh?" The beautiful young woman obviously did not understand what he meant.
"Berry, look, something will probably come out of this wormhole. Then, someone needs to go in front to intercept it and be prepared. If we can't stop it, then the other person will have time to deal with it. But someone has to do it," Gus explained to his wife, Yue Berry. "This kid is not a bad person."
The ultimate goal of the cooperative competition was still to win, so they could choose to trick the other party under the premise of completing the mission. If they failed, whoever lived longer would win.
In the last cooperative competition, the two sides had started fighting without a word, completely ignoring the mission content.
But if they really encountered this mode, most people still wanted to complete it well, because once they completed the difficult mission, the Goddess of Calamity would give them extra generous rewards.
These small trial-takers still did not know the greatness of the Goddess of Calamity, but players like them were well aware.
This AI system that was like a real person was not as simple as just saving the humans. Since she appeared, she had only been in a cooperative relationship with the humans.
There were no rumors in the outside world that the humans controlled the Goddess of Calamity's AI system. Even the Five Kings and Duke Siluo could not do it.
No one could command her.
She judged and operated according to her own algorithm. At most, she helped the humans and acted as an auxiliary system. This was the result of her thinking highly of Duke Siluo and discussing with him.
Therefore, there was a rumor circulating among the upper class that Duke Siluo was infatuated with the Goddess of Calamity and wanted to develop an AI system that was as perfect as her.
Naturally, most people could not understand this romance of a mechanic.
In the light screen, as the steel behemoth roared over, the void wormhole also resounded with the scalp-numbing sound of "zzzt zzzt zzzt".
"Stop, you have to stop!" Li Xiang only took a glance and almost got lost in the wormhole.
It was full of strange creatures. There was a kind of half-human lizard with naked flesh crawling on the ground. There was a large number of them!
"This feeling, they are all mutants!" Li Xiang shouted and waved at Ji Yanqing. He decisively pulled out Chaser and Spectre at the same time. Withstanding the great fear and negative effects, he charged forward with full firepower.
Ji Yanqing, who was behind him, had a rough understanding of the situation. Without hesitation, she turned and flew to the head of the steel behemoth. Steam was still spurting out from there. From the corner of the window when she flew past, she caught a glimpse of many helpless people.
Men and women, old and young, all looked at her with hope and sadness.
It was as if they were living human beings.
Ji Xianqing let out a very unladylike roar, completely shattering everyone's fantasy of her gentle appearance in front of the light screen.
The iron-blooded girl seemed to be more suitable for her now.
Using the steam-powered contraption, she pressed herself against the sculpture of the steel behemoth's head and crawled step by step toward the train captain's room.
[Guardian Aune used all her strength to get close to the dead driver. The driver had lost control. The people in the car didn't know that their fate was in the hands of two young people. They could only pray, bless, and resist the despair that was spreading in their hearts.]
The voice-over sounded very chuunibyou, but the audience was affected by the scene in front of them. Unexpectedly, they could not laugh.
It was too real.
It seemed like it was real.
It was obviously just a competition.
But it made people feel the despair of the people in the train, the desolation of the last spark, and the terrifying pressure of life and death that the two people faced.
"He is a real man." A trace of respect appeared in Gus's eyes. As a Level 1 player, he did not dare to say that he could resist the negative emotions of countless mutants so decisively and walk step by step toward death.
Players only admired two kinds of people.
Players who were stronger than themselves, and people who could do things that they could not do.
The latter, on the other hand, would often become a greater player than himself.
The closer they got to the wormhole, the more goosebumps appeared on Li Xiang's body. His emotions were suppressed to the point that he could not even materialize the magic circuits. He moved there purely by instinct. Two people, one to stop the train from moving forward, and the other to stop the wormhole from spreading. This was the only way they could think of at the moment.
Even if it looked like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
If it wasn't for the unusually active beating of the Heart of Disaster, which gave him a lot of energy, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand so many negative emotions.
It had clearly been eroded, but his mind was still clear.
This heart was not as bad as he thought.
Approaching the train captain's room, Ji Yanqing suddenly raised her right arm, revealing the arm full of bandages under her uniform. Her palm faced forward, she spat out a mouthful of turbid air and slammed her palm down on the steel.
