Chapter 972: The Night of the Blood Moon
"Roaring βββββ!!!"
The roars of one after another were like the sound of waves, overwhelmingly rushing towards the speeding train. Seeing this scene, almost all of them were cold and speechlessβββ they had not imagined the horror of the blood moon, but when they witnessed this scene with their own eyes, everyone realized that it was far more terrifying than their worst nightmare.
It was as if the world had completely abandoned them and the whole world had become the enemy of humanity, and in fact, when they witnessed this with their own eyes, the only thing they felt was despair......... Everything in this world seems to have been destroyed, and only these humans survive.
In the face of such a tide of zombies, even Aiden put down the gun in his hand......... His gun is okay against three melons and two dates, so many zombies......... No matter how he fights, he can't fight perfectly!
"How could it be .........?"
Even Miyamoto Rei and Komuro Takashi were extremely pale, and they were completely speechless when they looked at the zombie army in front of them. Under the blood-red moonlight, the zombie army that covered almost the entire land advanced at an unimaginable speed. And this train seems to be loaded with the last lights of human civilization, speeding across the land, trying to escape from the devouring army of death.
Can you really escape?
The speed of the train is fast, but the speed of these zombies is not slow. They rarely act like this on a normal day, but as mentioned before, on the night of the blood moon, these zombies are almost overturned as if they have been drugged, and at this moment they are rapidly approaching the train at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people. Seeing this scene, everyone became nervousβββ they could almost imagine the scene where these zombies pounced on the train, and then the speeding train derailed under the impact of the zombie horde and then tumbled to the ground.
"Unless there's something else in this court that we haven't seen before, I think we're dead."
Joel whispered as he grabbed Ellie beside him in one hand.
The others didn't speak, but they thought the same thing. Because at this moment, those zombies have been getting closer and closer to this train, but the whole train has not reacted at all, as if it is blind to everything in front of them.
Finally, these zombies are getting closer and closer, and they have even reached the side of the railroad tracks, and with the help of the moonlight, everyone can even clearly see the terrifying and terrifying appearance of those zombies infected with fungus all over their bodies, and their scarlet eyes!
"Roaring ββββ!"
Finally, what everyone feared the most happened, those zombies jumped suddenly, screamed and pounced directly on the train!
"Damn it!"
Seeing this scene, several people screamed, and even tightened their weapons, planning to fight to the death with these zombies!
However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
"ββββββ!!"
At the moment when these zombies were about to pounce on the train, their bodies suddenly seemed to be cut by an invisible blade, and they were directly turned into pieces under the horrified gaze of everyone! I saw that the bodies, heads, and limbs of those zombies infected with fungus were all shredded, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a pile of broken pieces, and were directly left behind by the roaring train!
"What just happened?"
Looking out the window at the night, everyone looked confused, completely unaware of what was going on. All they saw was that the zombies that approached the train suddenly pounced, and then they were directly turned into pieces?
What's going on? How exactly is this done?
"Roar βββ!"
Before everyone could react, they saw more zombies filling the previous gap again at this moment, and they rushed to the train in front of them one after another. But no matter how terrible the zombie is, the moment it gets close to the train, it will be directly and neatly dismembered, turning into a pile of debris and disappearing into the night sky.
At this time, Joel and Saya Takashiro had already covered the eyes of the two little girlsβββ anyway, this scene was too bloody for children to watch.
But at least......... For now, it seems that they don't have to worry about the safety of themselves and this train?
"The court still seems to have a set."
Leaning in front of the window, Aiden looked out the window cautiously, and couldn't help but sigh. He had just looked out the window, but he had seen nothing, and he didn't know what the Inquisition Chamber was doing...............
"Boom!!"
But before everyone could relax, suddenly, several huge black shadows jumped up from a distance and rushed towards the train like cannonballs.
"It's the Daredevil!"
Seeing these giant mutant monsters that were several times taller than ordinary zombies, Aiden suddenly became nervous, the night demon is a very rare but quite terrifying mutated zombie. It is afraid of light during the day and rarely appears. But at night, these monsters will roam around, they are huge and powerful, Aiden has encountered a few before, and they are all hiding far away, for fear of being discovered by the other party.
Normally, there aren't too many Daredevil in one area, but right now, there are hundreds, if not thousands!
Did they run into Daredevil's den?
Compared to the previous zombies, the power of the night demons was significantly stronger, and they even broke through the invisible barrier of the train and pounced directly on the carriage of the train with a "bang"!
"Damn it!"
Seeing a night demon clutching the carriage and opening his mouth to himself and others through the window, Joel and Aiden glanced at each other and hurriedly raised the gun in their hands, but before they could pull the trigger, an even more surprising scene happened.
βββββββββ
Brilliant light erupted from the body of the train, and at this moment, the entire body of the train emitted a scorching and dazzling light like the sun. And where it was illuminated by this light, both the night demon and those zombies suddenly burned, and soon, the entire zombie sea exploded like a lit petroleum gas field, and for a time there were wildfires all around, and the train that got rid of the zombie army continued to gallop forward like an arrow from the string.
"Hmm......... It seems that the anti-undead enchantment is useless for these things. β
Standing on the balcony in front of him, looking at the burning zombies around him, Duanmu Huai touched his chin and spoke, then glanced at Mary, who shook his head.
"The anti-undead enchantment is mainly used to resist the negative energy reactions of undead creatures, Mr. Duanmu, these ......... Although zombies look like undead creatures, they should not rely on negative energy like undead creatures, and may be more like some kind of virus infection......... Bacteria or something........."
Mary had studied magic in the world of Feren and was taught by Lani, so she was able to learn a lot in the field of magic. In Ann's absence, Mary could be considered half a magic advisor.
"That's Sydney's domain, but it's a pity I didn't bring her with me."
Duanmu Huai scratched his head helplessly, although the train itself was just an ordinary train, but Duanmu Huai also made some modifications to it. For example, Ogis and Rose will manipulate silk threads around the carriage to prevent malicious objects from intruding. Of course, Duanmu Huai also let Mary apply an anti-undead enchantment on it.
It's a pity that now it seems that this barrier should be of little use to the zombies of this world.
But fortunately, Duanmu Huai still has his own hole cardsβββ he is the god of destruction, wouldn't it be good to directly inject divine power into this train and turn it into an artifact?
Now it seems that whether it is a zombie or something, it will be completely destroyed in the final analysis.
It's a pity that viruses and bacteria don't understand Duanmu Huai, and Lumiel is not good at this......... Forget it, let's get back to it.
For Duanmu Huai, this is not a big deal, and after making sure that this so-called blood moon is not a big deal, he goes back directly to rest.
On the contrary, the survivors, although they have also determined that the Inquisition does have the strength to deal with the Blood Moon, they still haven't slept all night. It wasn't until early the next morning, when the sun rose over the other side of the horizon, that everyone finally relaxed their tense nerves.
"I didn't expect that we really survived the blood moon alive........."
Looking at Ciri Alice, who was sleeping beside her, Miyamoto Rei was also relieved, and put down the spear that she had held all nightβββ only then did she find that her hands were tense and almost unable to let go because of excessive tension.
"If we say it, no one will believe it."
Saya Takashiro also slumped back in his chair and quipped.
"But anyway, now it looks like this court is really powerful."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Can we really stay? β
If before, Saya Takashiro and the others were somewhat hesitant to stay on this train, then now they want to stay on this train more and more. Anyway, this train can break through the Blood Moon! Even if their goal is the Danger Zone, since this train can break through the Blood Moon, then the Danger Zone should be no problem for them!
But......... Will they let them stay?
This is a big question mark for Saya Takashiro and others.
"Woo wooβββββ!"
At the same time, the whistle sounded again, and immediately after, the silhouette of a city appeared at the end of the horizon.
Perhaps because of the blood moon, when the train entered the station, it didn't stimulate too many zombies, and after making sure that everything around them was safe, everyone left the train one after another.
"Well, then, I'm going to the Gathering Place."
Aiden carried his bag and nodded to everyone to say hello, and at the same time solemnly thanked Duanmu Huai and the others.
"Anyway, thank you very much for your help."
"You're welcome, being idle is also idle."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand disappreciably.
"Are you sure there's a gathering place here?"
"Of course, I've been in radio contact with them before, so there should be no problem."
"So that's the case......... Don't mind if we follow you for a walk. β
"Huh?"
I have to say that Aiden was somewhat surprised when he heard Duanmu Huai's request.
"Do you want to go to the gathering place?"
"That's right, after all, you are the first group of living people we met after we came out, before this I thought that this world had already perished, just right, I also want to see the situation of the gathering place here."
"This ............... All right. β
Aiden thought about Duanmu Huai's request for a while and agreed without much hesitation. To be honest, he was still a little worried about his safety alone, but with so many people following, he was a little more relieved, wasn't he?
So, the group left the train and, led by Aiden, headed in the direction of the gathering place. For Duanmu Huai and others, they just came to see the excitement. As for Saya Takashiro and the others, they want to see the situation of the gathering place here, after all, their gathering place has been destroyed, and if this gathering place is in good condition and needs manpower, they will also consider staying here.
After all......... Isn't that train accessible to everyone?
As for Joel and Ellie, they plan to go to the gathering place to buy some medicines, food, weapons and ammunition necessary for the journey.
"But how to say it......... It really doesn't feel like it's out of tune. β
While walking down the street, looking at the figure in front of her, Miyamoto Rei whispered. For the sake of mobility, the survivors wore sportswear and windbreakers. But Duanmu Huai and the others are completely different, not to mention Duanmu Huai itself, Ogis and Rose sitting on his shoulders are wearing gorgeous dresses, and Mary next to him is also wearing an umbrellaβββ to be honest, they feel more like a daughter who comes out to shop, rather than like people struggling to survive in this last world.
"This is it."
Under Aiden's leadership, the group came to what looked like a warehouse in the heavy industrial area of the city, which from the outside seemed to be indistinguishable from other ruined buildings, but if you looked closely, you could see that the entrances and exits were tightly sealed, and even a low sound could be heard inside.
"Don't move!"
However, just as everyone entered the warehouse compound, suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and then everyone saw several heavily armed survivors with guns poking their heads out of the windows of the ruins that seemed to be empty in all directions, raising their weapons and aiming at them.
"If we move again, we'll shoot!"
"Hey, we're not suspicious!"
Aiden was obviously not the first time he had encountered such a situation, and hurriedly shouted.
"We're just here to deal with some things and make trades, not to cause trouble!"
"It's up to us to decide."
One of them, who looked like a leader, spoke, staring at Duanmu Huai vigilantly, the gun in his hand not at all meaning to be put down.
"What's the matter with that giant? Who the hell are you? β
"This ..............."
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Aiden was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Duanmu Huai, who was wearing power armor and looked like a synonym for "fierce gods and evil spirits".
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Well, that's a bit hard to explain.
