Chapter 7: Fear and Madness (4700 words)

Bangβ€”β€”!

From time to time, the sound of heavy crashes was heard, and each impact shook the steel carriage.

Wood's face was extremely ugly, and he looked out through the gap in the steel carriage, and he saw Kabane chasing from all over the mountains.

It's like locusts entering the country.

Just looking at it made Wood's scalp tingle.

He doesn't naively think that it's perfectly safe to stay in the carriage.

Not to mention the rest, just the few places that were hit by Kabane already had obvious depressions, and if the same point was hit continuously, the carriage would be torn apart sooner or later.

There were no windows, only gaps where you could barely stretch your hand, and in front of each gap was a samurai, and the steam canisters in their hands kept shooting out along the gaps, and only in this way could the terrifying Kabane destroy the carriages like suicide bombs.

And the most terrifying thing is...... Iron City couldn't speed up now, and it couldn't completely shake off the chasing Kabane.

Wood stood in the middle of the carriage, his face as dead as the civilians, his body trembling.

It's scary!

His nerves were tense as he fled for his life, and he didn't feel how terrifying Kabane was.

But now that he relaxed, Wood's fear came flooding back, and he suddenly felt a little admired for himself as he crossed the Golden Posts full of such monsters.

"You...... Can you fight? ”

Some hesitant questions came clearly into Wood's ears, making him frown slightly.

It's all at this time, and you still ask in such a gentle tone?

In this kind of crisis, as long as there is a little combat effectiveness, it should be pulled down to resist Kabane on the battlefield, and it must be pulled up by force, where can life and death still care whether the other party is willing or not.

"Hey, Laiqi-sama asks you!"

Wood was stunned.

Come to live?

The only person who can be called Laisu-sama is probably the powerful samurai who serves the Shifang River iris.

Jiuzhi Laiqi is extremely active in the original book, and is a key figure who accompanies the protagonists through several life-and-death crises.

Naturally, it is impossible for Wood not to know him.

But it wasn't this that made him frown, but ...... Why does this sound so close?

Are you talking to some lazy samurai behind you?

Before Wood could turn around to make sure, a strong hand had pressed against his shoulder.

"If you can fight, help me go with me and take charge of the guard in the back compartment." The words of Jiuzhi came again.

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌοΌŸοΌŸβ€

Wood's eyes barely popped out.

Isn't that right?

How could Jiuzhi Laiqi come to ask for his help.

Wrong!

It should be said that how could he notice himself, even if the costume on his body was a little weird, the other party would not come to find a ghost to help fight.

And if I'm not mistaken, according to normal development, shouldn't the other party be patrolling in the carriage at this time, and then mistaking Ikoma for Kabane and driving out of the Iron City?

Grunt –

Swallowing hard, Wood turned his head with a demented expression: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" ”

Pretending to be stupid, must pretend to be stupid?

What are you kidding, I'm just an ordinary little civilian, how could I run to fight Kabane.

The sky is falling, on the top of the tall one, what's the use of you looking for me, who can only speak, I kneel with those Kabane and beg for mercy, can they let me go?

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌŸοΌŸβ€

Jiuzhi Laiqi saw Wood's appearance, and was also a little inexplicable, and subconsciously took away the hand that was pressed on Wood's shoulder.

Got it wrong?

Thinking of this, Jiuzhi Laiqi looked around the carriage again, and found that it matched the characteristics of the little girl named Nameless, and it was only the young man in front of him.

But......

What role can such a coward play in battle?

Jiuzhi Laiqi had just clearly seen that this little ghost was trembling like those civilians, so he asked so hesitantly.

Is that little girl playing tricks on me?

Thinking of this, Jiuzhi Laiqi's face became a little gloomy, and he glanced at Wood coldly, and was about to cross him to the back carriage alone.

But at this moment, the Iron City suddenly stopped.

The faces of the people in the carriage changed, and Kabane was still chasing after him, didn't he stop at this time to find death?

Looking out, everyone understood.

It turned out that Tiecheng had already driven to the exit of Xianjin Station, and the suspension bridge outside was in a state of pulling up, and it was impossible to pass without putting down the suspension bridge.

When the drawbridge is lowered, traffic will continue.

But......

Everyone waited for a long time but didn't see the drawbridge fall, and Kabane, who had just been thrown away, was getting closer and closer to the Iron City.

Jiuzhi Laiqi frowned, walked to the side and lifted the microphone cover of the main control room and asked, "Why don't you put down the suspension bridge yet, Kabane behind is about to chase after you." ”

"Come to perch? The link bar switch in the main control room is not possible, and the link bar that controls the suspension bridge seems to be stuck in something. Arakawa Kibito's voice came from the other side of the microphone.

His words made the faces of the entire carriage change.

If you can't put down the suspension bridge, doesn't that mean that the Iron City can't drive out of the Xianjin Station?

Jiuzhi Laiqi frowned, and then as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Barren River, Lord Calamus will hand it over to you to protect." ”

"Huh?"

Arakawa Kibitu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Wait, what are you going to do when you come to Qi?" ”

"There's a manual tie rod next to the rails that you can use to lower the drawbridge."

"What? You're going out? ”

Before Arakawa Jibitu could speak, the anxious voice of the Sifang River iris came: "Come to Qi, you can't go, it's too chaotic." ”

"Calamus-sama......"

A touch of warmth flashed in Jiuzhi Laiqi's eyes, but he didn't say anything more, and directly covered the microphone.

Wood's expression was full of horror and he sat down on the ground.

It's messy!

It's all messed up.

Everything is beyond the scope of the original plot, and so on......

Bang!

Bang bang bang......

A series of crashing sounds were heard, and everyone in the carriage panicked.

"Oh no, Kabane is chasing after you."

"It's over, we can't escape."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Despair –

In the blink of an eye, it filled the entire carriage.

After Jiuzhi Laiqi made up his mind, without the slightest hesitation, he got up and came to the door of the carriage, and nodded to a few samurai.

The samurai hesitated, but finally opened the door of the carriage.

The only hope now is to pull the lever manually, and if the drawbridge is not lowered soon, the Kabane will only gather more and more.

When it is completely contained, then there is really no hope at all.

Clickβ€”β€”!

As soon as the carriage door opened, a Kabane had already pounced, and the samurai guarding the rear fired directly and sent it flying.

Jiuzhi Laiqi took advantage of this opportunity and resolutely rushed out.

Seeing the appearance of the living, all the Kabanes converged on his side.

It's too much.

Jiuzhi Laiqi looked at the manual operating lever a hundred meters away, and his face was extremely heavy.

Bang!

A shot forced back a Kabane that rushed in, and Jiuzhi Laiqi rushed in a straight line in the direction of the operating lever, and a group of samurai out of the carriage also turned the steam system to cover Jiuzhi Laiqi's charge.

Under the cover of everyone, Jiuzhi came to live all the way.

However, the number of Kabane is increasing, and although the samurai's steam system has played a certain role in suppressing it, it cannot penetrate Kabane's heart at all.

After the knockdown, these Kabanes were able to get up very quickly

In the blink of an eye, Jiuzhi Laiqi had already fallen into the encirclement of Kabane, and with his own martial arts, he barely shuttled through Kabane, but after all, he would still encounter an accident, and a hand suddenly grabbed his foot.

Well?

Jiuzhi Laiqi looked down and saw a Kabane who had just been knocked down by the samurai, and directly grabbed his bare feet.

Before he had time to think about it, Jiuzhi Laiqi lost the steam system in his hand, and the long knife cut off the hand that grabbed his bare feet in a flash, although Kabane's heart had a steely hard membrane, but the limbs were not so hard.

He slashed down with this knife, accompanied by a burst of blood, and his bare feet suddenly broke free from the restraints.

However, after a moment's delay, a Kabane had already rushed to the front and bit him directly on the arm.

Jiuzhi Laiqi's heart tightened, and there was a faint despair on his face.

It's too late.

"Ahhhhh......h

With a hideous roar, the Kabane bit down on the mouth.

'Da Da ......'

Time seemed to be extremely slow at this moment, and Jiuzhi Laiqi's eyes gradually widened, looking at the Kabane who bit him and was torn into minced flesh in the blink of an eye, and the splashed blood was all over his body.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, a somewhat small figure jumped down from the Iron City with a trembling body, and the strange weapon in his hand continued to spray tongues of fire outward, and each Kabane that was hit was torn to pieces by the overwhelming rain of bullets.

Is that the imp?

A look of astonishment flashed across Jiuzhi Laiqi's face.

Everyone in the carriage was also affected by this scene, looking at the young man whose face was full of horror, even after rushing out, his body was still trembling, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird in his heart.

The other party's panic, each of them can clearly feel.

But the other party's trembling posture made everyone feel a sense of ...... at this time Security!

Lose your marbles......

I'm absolutely crazyβ€”β€”!!!

All the sounds around were gone, and the passage of time became so slow.

Wood didn't understand why he had become the way he had been, but he had become like this.

I don't understand where I got the courage to rush out......

The only thing that understands is that-

If you don't rush out at this time, you will definitely die.

Wood looked at the endless, tidal Kabane, his legs weakened, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

But he didn't, because if he fell, he would die.

If you don't shoot, you'll die......

Don't want to die!

I don't want to die anyway......

"Ahh......h

Wood's expression was hideous, his eyes bloodshot, and his mouth burst into a frenzied roar.

'Dada......'

His figure was blocked behind Jiuzhi Laiqi, and the power was much higher than that of ordinary Gatling's machine gun, and he swept around like crazy, and all the Kabanes that were hit were torn apart.

Wood had never been more fearful.

Unlike the hopeless world when he first arrived, at this moment, he still has a glimmer of hope.

And it was precisely because of this glimmer of hope that Wood went completely crazy.

Because he's afraid of death!

Simply because...... He didn't want to die here.

Although Kabane's speed is extremely fast, the specially modified Gatling's rate of fire is even more terrifying, and under Wood's frantic strafing, he actually blocked the tide of Kabane.

Blood and the stump of Kabane flowed all over the platform, and everyone watching the carriage was stunned.

Jiuzhi Laiqi was the first to reflect, took a deep look at Wood, and remembered this young man in his heart.

He could tell that the boy was very scared of death, judging by the level of his horror......

He is more afraid of death than anyone else.

Even more afraid of death than everyone in the carriage.

But at this moment of crisis, the other party was the only one who rushed out of the carriage.

This represents......

Wood had to take a lot more courage than others, even if it was born under the impetus of death, which was admirable.

With Wood's containment, Jiuzhi Laiqi rushed directly towards the operating lever.

Without Kabane's attack, he was soon in the position of the lever and pushed it down hard.

The steam valve is on!

The gears turned, and the drawbridge finally began to slowly lower.

"It worked!"

"Suspension Bridge...... Descended. ”

"Saved!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Amid the cheers of the Iron City, the drawbridge fell completely.

'Toot toot tootβ€”β€”! ’

A loud whistle sounded, and the Iron City slowly began to start.

Jiuzhi Laiqi turned around and ran towards the Iron City, and after just two steps, he turned around and yelled at Wood, who was still sweeping wildly with Gatling: "It's okay, the drawbridge has been lowered, come back quickly!" ”

'Da Da Da ......'

"We don't have to fight, we can already escape."

The other warriors were shouting.

'Da Da Da ......'

But the gunshots were still ringing.

Jiuzhi Laiqi looked at the madness on Wood's side face, and the whole person couldn't help but be stunned.

"Oh no, he's out of his mind, everyone shoots in support of that little ghost, we have to get him back no matter what!"

Jiuzhi Laiqi roared anxiously, his words made everyone stunned, looking at the madness and hideousness on Wood's face, everyone couldn't help but breathe!

A boy who was scared silly-

Can...... But the crowd couldn't associate the words "coward" with each other.

Because the other party rushed out, and these pretentious samurai didn't have the guts!

'Bang bang ......'

Almost instantly, all the fire was focused on the Kabane who were rushing towards Wood.

"Come back soon~!"

"The drawbridge has been lowered."

"There's no need to go on."

"Wake up ......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Shouts gradually came from the carriage, from the first scattered to the last...... A common call for all carriages.

The Iron City moved forward, but the shout grew clearer and clearer, so clear that even the delirious Wood could hear the cacophony of calls.

"Everything...... It's all over!! ”

It's over?

A twinkle flashed in Wood's eyes, and all the voices around him returned at this time.

The rest of his eyes saw the slow progress of the Iron City, and saw the concerned and anxious faces, and the Gatling in Wood's hand stopped firing, and his little face gradually showed ecstasy.

The drawbridge is down!!

I was able to surviveβ€”β€”!

Wood subconsciously turned around and ran towards the Iron City, but at this moment, he found that those anxious faces became frightened, and they were all looking in the direction above his head.

When he looked up, he saw a Kabane, volleying towards him.

The boss with his mouth wide open can even faintly smell the smell of blood......

Bang!

Blood burst out and spilled onto Wood's hazmat suit.

"Hurry up and run!"

Wood was stunned, and before he could react, he was already pulled by the foal he hated and ran all the way to the Iron City, where the people who had been waiting for him pulled them into the carriage.

The carriage door is completely shut!

The sun gradually rose in the distant east, and with the sound of the whistle, the Iron City finally rushed out of the Xianjin Station, leaving all the Kabanes behind.

In the carriage -

Wood, who had been pulled back by the foal, stood in the middle of the carriage in a daze, completely ignoring the grateful glances from those around him.

Myself, saved!

Wrong......

On top of that, I almost died just now!

Fear rushed over me, and I couldn't help but recall the scene of blood mixing in the stump just now.

I felt a churn in my belly.

Wood, who had relaxed his nerves, couldn't bear it anymore and fell to his knees, a burst of sour bitter water spitting out frantically down his mouth.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, in this era, even a child of a few years old would not vomit when he saw that bloody scene, but this young man who was still frantically slaughtering Kabane before actually vomited?

Jiuzhi Laiqi frowned, but didn't say anything.

Ikoma stepped forward and patted Wood on the back, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh? You, you, you......"

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, and pointed to the foal behind Wood with trembling fingers.
