Chapter 330: Chapter 204: "Biaozi, get in the car."_2
The steel wall composed of nearly 20 trains, with rows of heavy machine guns and doomsday cannons, began firing bullets at this moment. However, no one was firing rapidly; it was mostly single shots. Most of the resources were given to the Fixed Star, leaving not much behind.
It wasn’t just their side that had formed a temporary refuge on a hill.
The highest edge points of the Zombie Basin formed one temporary refuge after another, but these refuges didn’t have the Constant Star Train charging at the front, smashing the Corpse Tide and clearing away high-level monsters.
They could barely hold for long before getting overwhelmed by a flood of monsters.
Accompanied by several explosions, there was no more sound.
It’s not that there weren’t trains wanting to head towards the Fixed Star; it’s just that the Zombie Basin had already descended into total chaos, with zombies and monsters everywhere, making it impossible to traverse the Corpse Tide to reach that coordinate point.
...
"Boom!!"
With the sky full of falling shells, a train that was about to be swallowed by the Corpse Tide was once again saved by the Fixed Star.
Anyone that can be saved is saved.
Chen Mang didn’t say much or send any private messages; this was a Flesh and Blood Train, and it wouldn’t have copper or iron mines.
It’s just that...
This Flesh and Blood Train seemed a bit bold, not leaving but starting to quickly devour flesh following behind his train, only to find nothing after a long while.
After all... the "Corpse Flesh" and all flesh pieces that fell were absorbed into the magnetic fridge by the Powerful Magnet, leaving nothing for the Flesh and Blood Train to devour.
"Where’s the corpse flesh? You’ve collected them? If you’re not using them, why collect? Give them to me, I’m anxious to upgrade!"
"..."
Chen Mang glanced expressionlessly at the Train Radio’s message, too lazy to respond, continuing to charge and kill in the Corpse Tide. His silence only made this Flesh and Blood Train start honking more, a sound different from normal mechanical trains, a bit similar to a bat’s screech, extremely piercing.
"Sigh."
He sighed softly: "Does the Flesh and Blood Train corrode the brain?"
At once, he opened the Train Radio and replied.
"Here you go."
In the next moment——
A few shells bombarded over, and the Flesh and Blood Train quickly turned into a fireball, flying through the air before landing heavily into the Corpse Tide.
About an hour passed.
The Constant Star Train slowly came to a halt.
The surrounding dirt was dyed red with countless flesh and blood, leaving not a single monster standing. He had initially collected the flesh, having encountered places needing flesh in the "Ice and Snow World," but eventually, there was simply no space left to store them.
He then threw out all the zombie flesh of low-level monsters, keeping only those from Level 6 and above zombies and monsters.
No matter how large the fridge was, it couldn’t handle such usage.
He then maneuvered the Constant Star Train to slowly drive up the hillside; by now, the train had turned entirely crimson, with chunks of flesh hanging on its armor, making it look as if it had crawled out from hell.
Various fallen items were stuffed into the fridge.
Among them, he had killed over a dozen Level 9 monsters.
Consumed 1.1 million units of copper ore.
Chen Mang returned to the hillside, waved out the window, signaling all trains to remain in place without making rash moves, then he left the train alone, walking up the hill.
The monsters in his section had been cleared.
However, he had only cleaned up a tiny fraction of the total monsters in the Zombie Basin; surveying the entire Zombie Basin, countless zombies were still launching assaults onto other hills.
There were no monsters in the center of the Zombie Basin, though.
The central area was the safest at the moment.
Only, getting there was a problem.
All three paths were blocked.
"..."
Chen Mang slightly narrowed his eyes, looking into the distance at this scene. This time, the "Zombie Volcano" had not only zombies but also quite a few monsters. The strange part was these monsters coexisted extremely harmoniously, not attacking one another.
Logically, different monsters have territorial awareness and would attack each other.
Like the Corpse Tide which often assaults other monsters to obtain enough flesh to provide the Corpse King with energy needed for evolution.
But these monsters this time.
Coexisted harmoniously.
And with very clear targets, not a single monster wandered about alone, purely assaulting all trains in the Zombie Basin area!
It was just like...
It was just like...
He didn’t speak, just recalled the village that trembled once every night, the immense cave where ferocious air currents erupted, causing all the zombies to erupt from underground, Zhang Yiren’s speculation, that...
Perhaps he ought to return to that village once more.
"Biaozi, get on the train."
...
Soon, all guards returned to the Constant Star Train.
Meanwhile, Chen Mang called all the Train Captains off the train, gathered them together, and solemnly advised: "The monsters and zombies in this area have been cleared, and it’s temporarily a safe point here."
"If you want to survive, don’t run around."
"Er Dan, send me a message if anything occurs, I will rush back at the first moment."
"Did you all understand?"
The Train Captains all nodded continuously, having no doubt about the Fixed Star at all; their survival wholly depended on the Fixed Star.
Subsequently, the Constant Star Train didn’t stay, but switched to the "Bunny Cloud" wheels, shooting off into the air once again towards the village!
Just after taking off.
A Level 9 "Dead Bat" quickly shot over from afar, turned into a yellow light in an instant, and appeared above the train, moving so fast it couldn’t be locked!
As the External Sound System of the train flashed red again.
This Dead Bat suddenly froze on the spot and was preparing to flee again; however, in that instant of being motionless, it was successfully locked by the Doomsday Cannon. With the roaring sound of the Doomsday Cannon reverberating!
Flesh fragments exploded everywhere and disappeared.
The dropped items, along with flesh, were all sucked inside the train. Flesh from a Level 9 monster, good stuff, will surely come in handy later on.
...
"How did he make it back?"
Atop a hill.
Several Level 9 trains, along with a dozen Level 7 and 8 trains, congregated on this hill, feeling somewhat overwhelmed facing the tide-like Corpse Tide below!
The biggest problem was running out of copper mines!
A burly middle-aged man jumped off the train, somewhat anxious, and strode to a nearby Level 9 train, looking at the middle-aged man seated inside, shouting: "We’re running out of copper, and the Corpse Tide is still unending!"
"Can the Fixed Star come to support us?!"
"Didn’t a train report on the Train Radio that the Fixed Star had already cleared their section of monsters?"
"I suggested it."
The middle-aged man turned to look sulkily out the window at the endless zombie sea on the hillside, rasping: "I proposed that each of our Level 9 trains offer 200,000 units of iron ore to the Fixed Star, for him to support us. He refused and replied with just a ’hehe’."
"Damn, keep raising the offer!"
"Right now, that much iron ore is useless; just tell him there are over a dozen trains here willing to give him iron ore, for him to hurry to support us!"
The burly middle-aged man shouted anxiously.
"There’s really no time left!"
"I only have 3 Level 10 Doomsday Cannons; only with these 3 dare I use. Other Doomsday Cannons aren’t even Level 10, too costly to operate!"
"Combining all your trains, you only have 4 Level 10 Doomsday Cannons; it’s far from enough!"
Just then——
It’s already too late, with large waves of Corpse Tide charging up the hillside.
The burly middle-aged man saw this, his expression changing slightly, quickly striding back into his train cabin. The situation worsened; the Corpse Tide had already rushed the slope. At this moment, only high-level monsters could be killed, ignoring the remaining low-level monsters.
His Energy Shield is Level 8.
It’s capable of ignoring those low-level monsters, but the other low-level trains are surely doomed.
And with the development thus far.
Even if they successfully survive, mining later on would be a big problem; these monsters seem like they have a Level 1000 Target Detection Radar in their heads, locking directly onto their trains’ position and starting pursuit, with no territorial awareness whatsoever.
Just pure slaughter.
