"Boom!"

A huge black shadow fell from the sky, and looking at the black shadow in front of them, everyone was shocked, only to see that in front of them, a warrior with a height of nearly three meters, wearing a strange and terrifying heavy armor, was holding a huge war hammer, staring at them coldly. The skeletal helmet shimmered with scarlet, an icy glow that made people shudder just by looking at it!

What is it? Could it be a new breed of zombie?

In the face of this terrifying existence in front of him, even the people who were fighting against the zombies before have completely lost their courage at this moment, this terrifying warrior seems to represent the end of everything, as if the embodiment of death. When it came here, they didn't know how to resist at all.........

"Hoo —————!"

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw that the huge warrior suddenly swung the war hammer, and instantly knocked all the zombies around him away. Seeing those zombies being swept away as easily as baseballs, everyone was even more frightened to retreat, and they could only watch the behemoth walking towards them and others.........

"Mr. Duanmu, if you continue like this, you will scare them to death."

Fortunately, just when everyone was at a loss, a voice suddenly appeared, and then everyone saw two girls poking their heads out from the left and right sides of the warrior's shoulders——— seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat relieved, although they didn't know what it was, but at least it looked like it shouldn't be a zombie?

Probably not.

"Excuse me, ............... you guys?"

"We came from the train and saw your signal, so we came here to see what was going on."

While speaking, Duanmu Huai took off his helmet, and when he saw his face, everyone couldn't help but exclaim again......... Luckily, anyway, it's good that it's not a zombie.

Next, the survivors here also introduced themselves.

First up was the quartet, who claimed to have come here from somewhere else on a school trip, only to encounter a zombie outbreak, and only the four of them survived. This four-person group is a man and three women, namely Takashi Komuro, Rei Miyamoto, Saya Takashiro and their lead teacher Shizuka Jukawa.

On top of that, they also rescued a girl named Ciri Alice, who, according to them, has been stuck in the mall since escaping the initial zombie outbreak.

After that, others joined in one after another.

After joining Aiden. Cladville is a native who calls himself a wanderer——— a wanderer who walks alone between human colonies in this abandoned continent, transporting goods and delivering information.

In addition, there is the pair of Joel and Ellie, where Joel is an uncle and Ellie is a fourteen-year-old girl. Joel didn't say much about their purpose, except that they were going to send Ellie somewhere, and for some reason, they had to be delayed here.

Well, Duanmu Huai swears in the name of Grandpa Kanedaichi that the main quest is between them!

Should.

It's better to do that, don't give me any moths.

For Duanmuhuai to invite them to board the train, everyone was somewhat moved. But soon a question was raised.

"Although I know that trains are certainly more reliable than cars in terms of movement, but ........."

The double-ponytailed girl named Saya Takashiro reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose.

"How are you going to defend against a Blood Moon?"

“…………… A blood moon? ”

"What's that?"

"What? Don't you know? ”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's puzzled answer, everyone was taken aback, but soon, Saya Takajo explained to them——— the so-called blood moon is a very special mechanism in this world. To put it simply, every seven days, the moon in the sky will turn red, and at the same time, the zombies that usually fish like mushrooms will go berserk, and there will even be some powerful zombies that are never seen on weekdays, and they will sweep through the city with great momentum, killing everything they see.

In fact, when the zombie virus broke out at the beginning, the human casualties were not particularly heavy, as long as they were gathered, they could still defeat most of the zombies. However, the appearance of the Blood Moon dealt a heavy blow to these survivors, which is why humans have suffered so many casualties.

And the reason why Aiden and Joel are willing to hide in the mall for a while is also because they found that the blood moon is coming when they count the time, and it is tantamount to suicide to continue to go out and walk around the streets at this time, so they want to wait here until the blood moon is over, and then continue to set off.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal."

After listening to Saya Gaocheng's explanation, Duanmu Huai also suddenly calmed down and waved his hand violently.

"Don't worry, those zombies are just a few zombies, they are all food deliveries!"

“…………………”

To be honest, looking at Duanmu Huai's unreasonable and confident appearance, everyone is a little uneasy, but in any case, it is impossible to continue to stay in this city, and from the current point of view, trains are indeed a good means of transportation compared to ships and planes, of course, the best is airplanes, but ......... At the moment, it is impossible to find an aircraft that can be used.

Joel and Aiden had originally planned to move on, but now that they had transportation, of course they would not object, and the others also felt that it was pointless to continue to stay here, so after discussing for a while, they agreed to Duanmu Huai's invitation and walked towards the station together.

And on the way, everyone also learned the origin of Duanmu Huai and others.

"The Inquisition?"

"Organizations ......... never heard of"

"That's normal."

Aiden seemed very calm.

"After that disaster, the rest of the people also formed all kinds of organizations, called everything. Of course, it's hard to say what about these organizations, but to be honest, this is the first one to use the train as a base to operate. ”

Perhaps because of his roamer professionalism, Aiden was interested in an organization like the Inquisition, which relied on train action. This is also normal, wanderers travel from one stronghold to another, mostly on foot, in which case it is easy to encounter danger and mistakes, and if they can't find the next stronghold within seven days, they can only hope to find a good shelter, or simply die outside.

On the contrary, with trains, it is more convenient to transport by rail, and the freight volume is larger, isn't it?

After everyone boarded the train, the train continued to depart towards the front with the sound of a whistle.

"I really didn't expect that there would be such an organization........."

Sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa, Miyamoto Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and stretched at the same time. In addition to the front of the train, there is a VIP room, a women's car, a men's car, and a dining car and a freight car in the back. Of course, from the outside, this train has not undergone any modifications, and it looks no different from a normal train. But when everyone got on the train and watched the dilapidated city go away, they all had an indescribable complex emotion in their hearts.

"I don't know what the situation is like in other cities......... Hopefully we'll have some success in the future. ”

"I don't think so."

Aiden shook his head.

"Most of the major cities have basically been razed to the ground by nuclear bombs, and our city has escaped because of its remoteness, but in the central city I am afraid it will be a different situation."

As he spoke, Aiden touched his backpack, he was going to one of the cities to deliver the letter this time——— as for whether the owner of the letter was still there, it was hard to say.

"I'm more worried about the Blood Moon in two days than that."

Looking at the sunset that was gradually sinking, Komuro's expression became extremely stiff and serious.

"Although Mr. Duanmu said that there was no problem, ......... No matter how you look at it, isn't this just an ordinary train? Is there really no problem? ”

“…………………”

Hearing Komuro's inquiry, everyone was silent, how terrible the blood moon was, they naturally knew it. You know, every time on the day of the Blood Moon, they lock themselves in the movie booth of the mall's movie theater, because this is the only place where there is soundproofing so that the zombies can't hear them. On the night of the Blood Moon, the zombies' hearing sensitivity more than doubled, and even the slightest breathing could be detected, let alone the speeding train.

Although they didn't know what would be going on the night of the blood moon, no one wanted to know either, after all, on the second day of the night of the blood moon, just looking at the mess outside was enough to make them tremble.

As for what exactly is on the night of the blood moon, no one wants to see what it is——— after all, almost all those who face the night of the blood moon are dead.

Judging from the map, with the route they are taking now, it will take about two days to get to the next stop. I don't know what will turn out of things by then. If they're fast, they'll be able to find the next human gathering place before the Blood Moon arrives, and if they're unlucky......... That's probably another story.

"I hope that gentleman has a way, and not stupidly takes us to death——— well, anyway, his armor is really quite safe."

Aiden made a small joke, and everyone nodded one after another, after all, in this world, the most feared thing is to be bitten by zombies. And if there is armor like Duanmu Huai, it must not be afraid——— but it seems that the armor is definitely not something that ordinary people can equip.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the part that surprised them was just the beginning.
