The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

The seventh station beneath our feet sank further to the left.

The metal floor emitted a piercing tearing sound, and several cracks that ran across the platform suddenly opened, from which dark red hot steam billowed out.

Xu Shen had just been steadied by Wang Hu when he almost fell over again.

Tang Lan gripped the door frame of carriage 013, her face deathly pale.

"quick!"

"Connect the winch!"

"This place can't hold out any longer!"

After she finished shouting, the entire row of sandbags on the left side of the position suddenly collapsed downwards.

Two survivors from Station 7 were dragging the wounded out when the steel plate beneath their feet suddenly flipped up, and the three of them, along with their ammunition boxes, slid toward the crack.

Wang Hu reacted quickly, grabbing the broken machine gun mount next to him and throwing it over.

"Grasp!"

One survivor clung desperately to the machine gun mount, his arm veins bulging.

Wang Hu's shoulders slumped, and he forcefully pulled the three people back from the edge of the rift.

The next second, a scorching wave of air shot out from beneath the crack.

The ammunition boxes were swallowed whole, so fast that they didn't even make a sound when they hit the ground.

"Stop collecting trash!"

Wang Hu yelled and cursed.

"You're about to die, and you're still thinking about ammo boxes? Are you wastelanders really that frugal?"

The survivor's face was covered in ash, his lips trembled, but he didn't dare to talk back.

Little Fire lay on the control panel of the Devourer, its claws rapidly tapping.

"Master, more than 70% of the load-bearing shaft at the bottom of the platform is broken."

"The subsidence rate of the left-side platform is still accelerating."

"Thermal pressure from the igneous layer surges upwards."

"There are a large number of mobile heat sources below, and the size is very large."

Su Yuan sat in the driver's seat, his mechanical left eye scanning the edge of the platform.

Below the end of the old track, black and red hot mist churned continuously.

That wasn't an ordinary landslide.

There's something arching underneath.

Soon, the first massive alloy crushing jaw emerged from the crack.

It bit into the steel beam below the platform, and with a few snaps, the entire beam was shredded.

Subsequently, the rock strata bulged.

A heavy waste soil drilling worm with a diameter of more than ten meters suddenly burst out from the broken ground.

Its shell was not a normal insect shell, but a mixture of rusted gears, discarded tracks, broken alloy pieces, and black tendons.

With each twist of its body, the old gears on its body rubbed against each other, sending up a shower of sparks.

The giant jaws opened, revealing rings of crushing teeth.

It didn't roar.

But the sound of the machine gnawing at the rock strata made everyone present feel uneasy.

"Drilling bug!"

Xu Shen's pupils contracted.

"How did they manage to chase us all the way to the seventh station?"

Tang Lan gritted her teeth.

"It's not about chasing."

"They've always been down there."

"The hounds sawed through the base and released them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a second, third, and fourth drilling worm emerged from different cracks.

The remaining sandbag positions were no match for them.

Just as a bunker raised its machine gun barrel, the surrounding rock suddenly exploded, and the giant mandibles of the drilling worm swept across it.

The outer steel plate of the bunker was bitten through, and the two machine guns inside, along with their supports, were shredded into scrap metal.

Several survivors dragged the wounded out from the side, their legs trembling.

"Retreat!"

Tang Lan shouted at them.

"All of them should be number 013!"

"quick!"

White mist was billowing from the chassis of carriage 013, and the ammunition compartment, which had just been rescued by Su Yuan, was still cooling down.

The car door was half open, and the interior lights flickered on and off.

That carriage was already damaged to its limit.

But now, it remains the last metal shell at the seventh station that can hold people.

Su Yuan pushed open the car window.

"Wang Hu".

Wang Hu turned around.

"Tail winch".

Su Yuan spoke in a very steady tone.

"Connect to tow hook number 013."

Wang Hu immediately rushed towards the back of the car.

"clear."

Xiao Huo grabbed his toolbox, jumped out of the car window, and shouted as he ran.

"Brother Tiger, the winch kingpin is at the lower left of the rear of the vehicle."

"Don't use regular hooks, they can't support that old relic, number 013."

Wang Hu slipped and ran across the pile of spent bullet casings to the rear of the Devourer vehicle.

The blood-stained heavy military winch cable still bore the scratches left by the aerial drop-out junction box.

The outer layer of the steel cable is severely worn, and several metal wires are upturned.

Wang Hu reached out and touched it, only to find another cut on his palm.

He didn't even look at it, and just dragged the steel cable out.

"A few people, please!"

"Come on over if you want to live!"

Several survivors from the seventh station hesitated for a moment.

Tang Lan turned around and roared angrily.

"Listen to him!"

"Go, everyone!"

The four survivors rushed over and joined Wang Hu in dragging the steel cable.

The steel cable was frighteningly heavy.

The ground is tilting again.

Every few steps, the group would trip over a sliding bullet casing.

Iron ore slag kept falling from the rock layer overhead.

A fist-sized piece of slag hit the iron plate, sending up black ash.

Larger slag tumbled down from the crack, crashing into the side armor of No. 013 and leaving a deep crater.

The small fire drilled under the front of car number 013, its tail covered in black oil.

It patted the heavy traction buckle with its paw.

"here!"

"The latch is not deformed."

"But there was a piece of scrap metal stuck inside the tow hook."

Wang Hu dragged the steel cable and rushed over.

"Get out of the way."

He swung the large wrench and smashed it hard against the inside of the tow hook.

when.

when.

when.

Scraps of iron and rust were knocked out.

Carriage 013 slid another half foot to the left.

The survivors inside screamed in terror.

Tang Lan gripped the car door, her forehead covered in sweat.

"hurry up!"

"The bugs are coming!"

Wang Hu looked down.

A drilling worm has climbed up the fault on the left side of the platform.

Its massive jaws snapped a decommissioned ammunition trailer in half, twisting the trailer's axle into a pretzel and swallowing half of the trailer into its crushing teeth, leaving only metal fragments when it was spat out.

"What's the rush!"

Wang Hu aligned the winch hook with the traction buckle and roared.

"This thing isn't for plugging into a charger!"

Little Fire used its tail to wrap around the pin and pulled its whole body backward.

Wang Hu and the four survivors worked together.

The steel cable hook rammed into towing buckle number 013.

Align the pins.

stuck.

It didn't go in.

Wang Hu's eyes widened.

"You son of a bitch."

He grabbed a wrench and slammed it down hard on the top of the pin.

bang.

The pin has sunk down a bit.

Little Firepoint shouted.

"Two centimeters short!"

Wang Hu smashed it again.

bang.

The pin has completely sunk to the bottom.

The traction buckle is closed.

The steel cable suddenly taut.

At that moment, Devourer and 013 connected physically.

permission denied.

No recognition found.

There were no nice system prompts.

There was only a bloodstained steel cable, an exaggeratedly thick traction buckle, and a pin that had been deformed by Wang Hu's smashing.

Xiao Huo looked up and shouted into the car.

"Connection complete!"

"The main winch is ready to operate!"

Su Yuan didn't waste any words.

Shift gears with your left hand.

Low-speed four-wheel drive.

Semi-active reverse magnetic suspension access.

The ascent was powered by six nuclear batteries.

The winch at the rear of the Devourer began to turn.

The steel cable is tightened.

Carriage 013 paused slightly.

then.

Didn't move.

The winch motor emitted a sharp overload alarm.

The rear of the Devourer suddenly lurched backward.

Xiao Huo's expression changed.

"The right track of No. 013 is stuck!"

Tang Lan rushed to the observation window and looked outside.

The right track of No. 013 has sunk into the broken and sunken old rail.

The broken rail, like an iron clamp, tightly gripped the track chain link.

To make matters worse, the right-side load-bearing wheel's secondary axle had long been worn and deformed, and the track wasn't unwilling to turn; it was completely stuck in the rail gap.

The winch continued to apply force.

No. 013 was not pulled.

The Devourer was instead dragged backward and slid backward.

The tires spun in the air on the metal plate, and white smoke rose from the contact surface.

As soon as Wang Hu climbed into the passenger seat, he was immediately thrown against the back of the seat by inertia.

Holy crap!

"Is this train carriage permanently attached to the ground?"

Xiao Huo stared intently at the readings.

"The total weight of item 013 is too high."

"The outer armor has not been removed."

"The tracks are stuck, and the frictional resistance is off the charts."

"Master, it's dragging us down!"

The tail of the Devourer was getting closer and closer to the cliff.

Half of the metal plate behind the vehicle has collapsed.

Beyond that lies the Abyss of Fire and Earth.

Below, dark red lava surged, and the heat rushed directly onto the rear armor of the vehicle.

At the same time, the largest drilling worm crawled out of the rock strata.

It was a size thicker than the other insects.

The head is embedded with half of a discarded drilling rig shield, and the inside of the shield is full of high-speed rotating alloy crushing teeth.

The swarm leader raised its body, its abdominal tubes bulging.

The small fire alarm was flashing rapidly.

"Reaction to highly corrosive liquids!"

"The side passage is locked!"

The next second, the swarm leader sprayed out a large amount of dark green acid.

The acid swept across the right side of the platform, completely covering the track area that could have been changed lanes.

The iron plate was corroded into a dense network of holes, and steam and toxic fumes rose up at the same time.

An abandoned armored trailer was doused with acid, causing the roof armor to curl up and the internal support structure to collapse.

The escape routes on both sides of the Devourer were completely cut off.

Behind it is an abyss.

There's a stuck number 013 ahead.

The collapsed platform is on the left.

The right side is a corrosive acid pool.

The survivors of Station 7 stood in Unit 013, watching all this through the broken observation window, their faces filled with despair.

Someone closed their eyes, their hand resting on the old Blue Star badge on their chest.

Someone crouched down holding the wounded, their lips moving constantly, but no one knew what they were saying.

Tang Lan stood at the front of the carriage, her eyes terribly red.

She saw the rear wheels of the Devourer slip on the iron plate, and the rear of the vehicle gradually approaching the cliff.

The strange vehicle that had just saved them was now being dragged into the fire by their No. 013.

Tang Lan picked up the walkie-talkie.

The back of my hand was covered in black ash and blood.

"Su Yuan!"

"Cut the steel cable!"

no respond.

Inside the cockpit of the Devourer, Su Yuan controlled the steering wheel with one hand, his mechanical left eye spinning extremely fast.

Tang Lan's voice trembled.

"Did you hear me!"

"Cut the steel cable!"

"Number 013 is beyond saving!"

"We are a burden!"

"You can still live, don't let us drag you down with you!"

Her voice almost cracked at the end.

"Cut it off!"

"That's an order!"

Wang Hu's anger flared up upon hearing this.

"She even gave orders."

"Old Su, should I tell her to shut up?"

Su Yuan did not speak.

His left foot precisely pressed the clutch, while his right foot made extremely subtle shifts between the brake and accelerator.

The tail of the Devourer was already hanging over the edge of the cliff.

Below the rear safety bar, waves of hot lava surged upwards.

The edges of the rear armor were tanned dark by the heat.

The little fire claw gripped the control panel tightly.

"The rear of the car is 32 percent suspended in the air."

"If we back up another half meter, the rear-wheel drive will lose traction."

"Master, we must reduce the weight or cut the cable immediately."

Su Yuan stared at the molten lava below.

The data in the mechanical left eye is fluctuating.

temperature.

Height difference.

Remaining coolant level.

Injection pressure.

Cliff angle.

The position of the swarm leader.

He finally spoke.

"Wang Hu".

"Deputy Supervisor of Reizei".

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

His facial muscles twitched.

"You're going to throw coolant at the lava?"

The little fire's tail stood up.

"Master, that will cause a high-pressure steam explosion."

Su Yuan said, "What I want is an explosion."

Wang Hu grinned.

"OK."

"Science class begins."

He lunged at the Cold Spring Type 4 auxiliary pipe on the side of the carriage, pried open the protective buckle, and dragged the thick military cooling pipe that had just saved No. 013 to the rear of the carriage.

Frost had formed on the surface of the thick pipe.

When the valve was turned, a muffled sound came from inside as high-pressure liquid impacted the pipe wall.

Wang Hu aimed the nozzle at the magma below the cliff.

The heatwave hit him, and his eyebrows curled up from the heat.

"Old Su."

"Where to hit?"

Su Yuan's mechanical left eye locked onto the magma fissure below the swarm leader.

"Thirty degrees to the lower left."

"Don't sweep."

"Targeted spraying".

Wang Hu pressed the thick pipe against the rear guardrail of the vehicle, his arms taut.

"receive."

Su Yuan pressed the brake with his right foot, forcibly bringing the tail of the Devourer to a stop at the edge of the cliff.

The car body shook violently.

The steel cable was taut and straight.

On the other side of 013, Tang Lan was stunned to see that the Devourer had not cut the cable, but instead extended the cooling pipe into the abyss.

"What is he going to do?"

Xu Shen leaned against the wall, coughing up blood, but his eyes were fixed intently on the wall.

"He's looking for a way to make a living through physics."

Tang Lan gritted her teeth.

"There's subterranean fire down there!"

Xu Shen said in a low voice, "That's why it's useful."

Wang Hu slammed the valve.

"open!"

Cold Spring Type IV secondary pipe sprays at full power.

The high-pressure coolant, which was tens of degrees below zero, turned into a thick white column of water and was precisely blasted into the churning magma fissure below.

The moment of contact.

The entire area below the cliff was illuminated in a bright white light.

It's not fire.

It is caused by water being forcibly vaporized in a very short time, resulting in a surge in volume and a sharp increase in pressure.

The next moment, a terrifying column of steam erupted from the bottom of the abyss.

Incandescent high-pressure steam blasted upwards, carrying magma fragments and iron ore powder, rushing down the cliff face straight to the abdomen of the swarm leader.

The swarm leader's massive body was flipped backward by the column of steam.

Its abdominal flesh was torn open by high temperature and pressure, and dark green acid sprayed out everywhere. The discarded gears that splashed onto it instantly corroded large holes.

Several drilling insects were still clinging to the cliff face when they were directly lifted off the rock surface by the steam kinetic energy.

The enormous insect body twisted in mid-air, its alloy mandibles snapping a few times in the air before it plummeted into the hot mist below.

Boom!

Boom!

Several insects were blown over by the steam explosion.

The acid mist on the right side of the platform was also torn open by the high-pressure steam.

Tang Lan stood in front of observation window number 013, her eyes wide open.

The survivors at the seventh station were all dumbfounded.

They had seen gunfire.

I've seen hunting dogs.

I've seen drilling worms.

No one has ever seen anyone spray coolant into lava and instantly create an abyssal steam cannon.

A survivor leaned against the wall, his mouth opening and closing several times.

"This works?"

Another person, whose face was covered in soot, muttered.

"This is not a repair."

"This is using underground fire as a boiler."

Wang Hu was pushed backward by the recoil, his shoulder pressing hard against the cooling pipe.

The white mist swirled past him.

He gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Old Su!"

"The bugs have flipped over!"

Xiao Huo immediately updated the data.

"The acid mist was blown away from the side."

"The swarm leadership is temporarily out of balance."

"The window period is three to five seconds."

"But track number 013 is still stuck."

The Devourer still couldn't move it.

The winch is overloaded and the red light is on.

The outer armor of No. 013 was too heavy, and the right track was stuck in the rail gap.

Su Yuan honked the horn.

The train whistle blared across the platform.

At the same time, he switched to the communications channel.

"Tang Lan".

"Destroy all external armor."

"Leave only the chassis and the people."

"I need to poop."

Tang Lan was taken aback.

Inside carriage 013, all the survivors looked at her.

Destroying the outer armor means completely abandoning the original protection of Unit 013.

Bulletproof netting.

Reactive armor.

External steel bars.

Temporary welded protective plate.

These are the shells that have kept them afloat until now.

But now, these shells have become the weight that drags them into the fire.

One operator instinctively said, "Captain, after it explodes, we'll be left without protection."

Tang Lan turned to look at him.

"If we don't explode soon, we won't even have a base."

She rushed to the front of the carriage and lifted a red protective cover.

Inside is the emergency bomb disposal lever.

The edges of that thing were rusted black because it hadn't been used for so long.

Tang Lan gripped the lever with both hands, her shoulders trembling.

It's not fear.

It's qi (vital energy).

It's the ruthlessness that comes from being forced into a corner.

She whispered into the communicator, "Su Yuan, if you can't pull it, cut it."

"Don't get yourself involved."

Su Yuan returned very coldly.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"pull."

Tang Lan gritted her teeth and pulled down the bomb disposal lever.

All the outer bolts of No. 013 were triggered sequentially.

boom.

boom.

boom.

The external bulletproof netting snapped open in sections.

Pieces of the discarded reactive armor flew off, crashing into the adjacent metal plate and tumbling into the crack.

The temporary welded external steel bars were forcibly peeled off and, carrying sparks, were thrown into the collapsed area.

The entire carriage No. 013 appeared noticeably thinner.

The vehicle body revealed a mottled old chassis and punctured original armor.

Tang Lan steadied herself and roared at the entire car.

"pay close attention!"

"Everyone, hold on!"

Little Fire stared at the instruments on the Devourer.

"Number 013 has lost a significant amount of weight."

"But the right track is still stuck."

"Master, the normal output is not enough."

Su Yuan raised his hand and pushed the output limit of the six nuclear batteries past the red line.

120 percent.

130 percent.

One hundred and forty percent.

It finally stopped at 150%.

The console was almost entirely covered in red lights.

The temperature of the nuclear battery's protective casing rose rapidly.

A series of alarms sounded in the carriage.

A slight heat makes my scalp tingle.

"Master, there's a 150% chance it will burn out the main distributor!"

Su Yuan gripped the steering wheel tightly with his left hand.

"If it doesn't burn, run away."

Wang Hu sat back in the passenger seat, bandaging the wound on his hand while staring straight ahead.

"Brothers, hold on tight."

"The lead car is going crazy."

Su Yuansong opened the brakes.

floor the accelerator.

The rear wheels of the Devourer suddenly gripped the iron plate.

The semi-active anti-magnetic suspension pushes the downforce on the vehicle body to its limit.

All four driving forces erupted simultaneously.

The winch at the rear of the vehicle is at full power for cable retrieval.

The steel cable was stretched into an almost straight black line.

Number 013 remained completely still at first.

Then a teeth-grinding tearing sound came from the right track.

The stuck chain links broke off one by one.

The broken track was caught on the old rail, as if it had been forcibly torn off from under the vehicle.

Tang Lan was dragged against the wall by inertia in the carriage. Ignoring the pain, she just held on to the handrail tightly.

Hang in there!

The front end of No. 013 suddenly lifted up.

The carriage was forcibly pulled away from the sunken rail gap by the Devourer.

Broken track fragments flung wildly through the air.

The chassis scraped against the metal plate, sending up long sparks.

Little Firepoint shouted.

It moved!

"Card number 013 has been removed!"

"Master, the track angle is off to the left, and the old track's support point is 22 meters ahead!"

Su Yuan did not slow down.

Instead, he pressed the accelerator even harder.

The Devourer's shovel plowed through the broken iron, dragging the half-crippled No. 013 towards the end of the collapsed platform.

There was no longer a complete road surface ahead.

Only a single old railway track, exposed by the collapse, lies across the hot fog.

It is nearly three meters lower than the original track at the seventh station, and it slants into the darkness.

If the angle is wrong, number 013 will be thrown directly into the abyss.

Su Yuan mechanically calculates the landing point with his left eye.

He jerked the steering wheel sharply with his left hand.

The vehicle of the Devourer veered to the right.

The winch cable caused No. 013 to swing laterally.

Inside carriage 013, the survivors were thrown about, staggering and falling.

Someone bumped their back into the ammunition rack and their face contorted in pain.

Tang Lan gritted her teeth and gripped the handrail, her eyes fixed on the outside.

She saw the Devourer, disguised as a hunting dog, using its own body as a traction hinge to fling No. 013 from the collapsed platform toward the abyss's old tracks.

This is not a tow truck.

This is like throwing tens of tons of scrap iron back from the brink of death.

"He's gone mad..."

An operator murmured.

Tang Lan did not scold him.

Because she felt that way too.

But this madman is throwing them into the path of survival.

The Devourer first rushed onto the old track of the abyss.

The car body sank violently.

The anti-magnetic suspension was pressed to the bottom, and then it was forcefully pushed back.

The steel cable is still being tightened.

Number 013 was dragged to the edge of the platform.

It lost its support, and half of the car body was suspended in the air.

The swarm leader below struggled to raise its head again, its shield-shaped mandibles aimed at the bottom of No. 013.

Through the observation window, Tang Lan could even see those rotating crushing teeth.

"quick!"

She growled.

Su Yuan pulled the winch control lever.

The nuclear output surges back to the top of the red zone.

The winch motor emitted a sharp, piercing scream, as if it were about to burn out.

The steel cable pulled the last section of No. 013 away from the collapsed platform.

The entire half-damaged carriage was lifted into the air and swung past the giant mandible of the swarm leader.

The swarm leader opened its mouth and bit down.

It's half a meter off.

The giant jaws only managed to bite the broken track fragment number 013.

The track fragments were pulverized, and scrap metal was sprayed everywhere.

The next second, No. 013 crashed heavily onto the old track of the abyss.

boom.

The chassis crashed into the railway tracks.

The entire carriage bounced up halfway, then was pulled back by the winch cable and slid diagonally for more than ten meters.

The survivors inside the carriage were all knocked down by the shock.

A water bottle flew out of someone's hand, hit the car wall, and rolled back.

Tang Lan's knee slammed into the metal plate, and the pain made her vision go black.

But the first thing she did when she looked up was to look outside.

Number 013 did not fall.

It landed on the old tracks.

Although the chassis was severely deformed, the right track was completely destroyed, and almost all of the external armor was gone, it survived.

The people inside the car are also alive.

Behind them, the seventh station finally couldn't hold on any longer.

The entire platform is broken off in the middle.

Sandbag positions, bunkers, old turrets, ammunition depots, and even the drilling worms that were still climbing upwards all collapsed downwards.

The subterranean fire surged up from the cracks.

The swarm leader's body was half stuck in the landslide, its giant mandibles snapping wildly, but it was crushed by the sinking rock layer.

Several drilling insects tried to climb the edge of the old track, but were swept away by the collapsing steel beams and rock walls in the next second.

The black and red hot fog engulfed the seventh station.

The walls, gates, and searchlights that once bore the numbers of the Blue Star Expeditionary Force sank one by one into the depths of the subterranean fire.

In carriage 013, a young survivor looked back, his hand still gripping the handrail.

After several seconds, he suddenly burst out laughing, crying and laughing at the same time, his whole face covered in ash.

He's alive.

"We survived."

Another person collapsed to the ground, hugging the wounded person next to him, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

"I thought it was all over."

"I really thought it was all over."

The carriage soon erupted into chaotic gasps and shouts.

Someone is banging on the wall.

Someone called out Tang Lan's name.

Someone called out Xu Shen's name.

Many more people simply lay on the metal plate, breathing in the rusty air as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

Tang Lan leaned against the iron wall, her legs went weak, and she sat down.

She looked at the still taut steel cable in front of her, and at the Devourer at the end of the cable.

The car's exterior was emitting white mist.

The front of the truck has crisscrossing scratches on the bucket.

The side armor of the hounds was blackened by the high temperature.

The nuclear battery's protective casing was still emitting heat.

Yet it still steadily dragged No. 013 along the old tracks of the abyss.

Tang Lan raised her hand and wiped her face, making the black ash and sweat even more messy.

She whispered, "What kind of monster is this car?"

The operator next to him swallowed hard.

"Captain, I was just about to take out the machine gun and mow it down."

Tang Lan glanced at him.

"Luckily, I didn't sweep it."

The operator remained silent for half a second.

What will happen if I scan it?

Tang Lan leaned against the iron wall, her voice hoarse.

"You'll be twisted into a feeding frame by that big guy."

The operator glanced at Wang Hu in the co-pilot's seat of the Devourer in the distance, but didn't dare to object.

Inside the Devourer.

The temperature of the nuclear battery began to slowly decrease.

Little Fire lay on the control panel, its two paws still trembling.

"The main distributor is not burnt out."

"The winch motor is overheating, but it's still usable."

"The rear drive shaft is severely worn."

"The antimagnetic suspension No. 3 buffer core is cracked by half a circle."

Wang Hu couldn't stop laughing as he wrapped his hand in a rag.

"What's a half-circle crack?"

"If it's not split in two, it's considered full health."

Xiao Huo glanced at him.

"Tiger, your definition of 'full health' is so outdated."

Wang Hu bit the strip of cloth tightly and tied a knot.

"In the wasteland, anything that can move is a new car."

He patted the car door.

"Dude, that pull just now was so cool!"

The Devourer vibrated slightly, and the carriage lights flickered twice.

Xu Shen leaned back in his seat and exhaled a long breath of bloody turbid air.

He stared at Su Yuan's retreating figure, his expression incredibly complex.

"People at the seventh station will recognize you as the lead car."

Wang Hu raised an eyebrow.

"The lead vehicle?"

Xu Shen nodded.

"Old rules of the Blue Star Expeditionary Force".

"In a disaster relief convoy, the vehicle that can clear the way, rescue other vehicles, and lead the team to safety is the lead vehicle."

Wang Hu grinned.

"I like this rule."

Little Fire flicked its tail.

"The master was originally the lead car."

Wang Hu looked at it.

"You're quite the smooth talker when it comes to flattery."

Xiao Huo straightened his chest.

"This is an objective fact."

Su Yuan ignored them.

He only looked at the old tracks ahead.

The old tracks in the abyss are thicker and older than the platforms above.

The sleepers are made of heavy alloy, and many parts are covered with black burn marks.

Broken pipelines and faded blue star symbols are hanging on the rock walls on both sides.

The Devourer dragged 013 forward slowly.

The steel cable was sometimes loose and sometimes tight.

Because the right track of No. 013 was completely gone, it could only slide on the track by its chassis, constantly generating sparks as it was being dragged.

Tang Lan connected via walkie-talkie.

Her voice was much lower than before.

"Number 013 can still be delayed."

"All twenty-three people in the car are alive."

"Three of the injured have deteriorated, but they can hold on."

Su Yuan said, "What I can give."

Tang Lan remained silent for half a second.

"Not much supplies were taken out from the seventh stop."

"But I have the route map."

"I also have access to the Abyss Orbit."

"We also have half a box of artillery shells, several boxes of machine gun ammunition, three buckets of clean water, and two sets of old-fashioned repair tools."

Wang Hu's eyes lit up immediately when he heard about the cannonballs.

"We'll take the shells."

Tang Lan paused.

"Main gun No. 013 cannot be fired now."

Wang Hu waved his hand.

"Who said it was meant to be used for firing?"

"Artillery shells have many uses."

Xiao Huo looked at him speechlessly.

"Brother Tiger, don't scare them away."

Tang Lan didn't say anything more.

After a while, she whispered, "Su Yuan."

Su Yuan did not turn around.

"explain."

Tang Lan said, "If you had cut the steel cable just now, you could have left."

"Why not cut it?"

The carriage fell silent for a moment.

Wang Hu also looked at Su Yuan.

Xu Shen leaned back in the seat and slowed his breathing.

The little fire claw stopped.

Su Yuan looked ahead.

"You have a map of Earth."

Tang Lan was taken aback.

Su Yuan continued, "And there's also the authority."

"I need to."

Tang Lan sat by the iron wall at No. 013, and the suppressed heat in her eyes slowly rose.

She thought she would hear some kind of nice words.

There was no result.

Very Su Yuan.

It's cold to the core.

It's so stable that it gives people peace of mind.

He is not a saint.

He judges value in dire circumstances and then pulls out valuable people and things.

Tang Lan looked down at her hands, which were covered in black ash, and suddenly felt that this answer was more real than any comfort.

"clear."

She raised her head and said to all the survivors in the carriage, "From now on, No. 013 will be affiliated with the Devourer."

"Everyone listen to the lead vehicle's instructions."

One of the survivors instinctively looked at her.

"Captain, then we..."

Tang Lan interrupted him.

"If you want to live, listen."

No one objected anymore.

The extreme dragging and steam explosion just now have crushed all doubts.

The Devourer continued forward.

The old tracks of the abyss gradually stabilized.

The shaking of the car body began to decrease.

The temperature of the nuclear battery dropped from the red zone to the yellow zone.

The Lengquan Type IV water pump re-established circulation.

Xiao Huo reduced the winch tension to a stable level, and then simultaneously connected the Hound Navigation Center and the Xu Shen nameplate.

On the screen, a tattered map of the Blue Star Abyss Railway slowly unfolds.

"Owner."

"A large structure has appeared ahead."

"Three kilometers away."

Wang Hu came closer.

"What kind of trap is it this time?"

Small fire zoomed in radar image.

Ahead in the darkness, the outline of a massive, abandoned Blue Star Railway maintenance station came into view.

The station is embedded in the underground rock wall and is much larger than the seventh station.

Multiple old tracks converge from all directions, like metal veins buried in wasteland for many years.

Blurry paint can still be seen on the exterior wall of the maintenance station.

Blue Star Expeditionary Force Abyss Railway Maintenance Station.

Xu Shen's pupils contracted slightly when he saw the line of text.

"It's still here."

Tang Lan's communication system also detected urgent activity.

"I've never been here before."

"The archives of Station Seven say it has been sealed away long ago."

Su Yuan did not slow down.

The headlights cut through the darkness ahead.

The gate to the maintenance station is getting closer.

The door did not rise.

But suddenly the old-fashioned platform announcements next to us lit up.

A Chinese broadcast, filled with static, came from the broken loudspeaker.

"The train is about to arrive at the station."

"Please be aware of the platform gap ahead."

"The train is about to arrive at the station."

"Please be aware of the platform gap ahead."

Wang Hu felt a chill run down his spine.

"This broadcast has a real sense of everyday life."

Xiao Huo stared at the radar.

"Master, there is a large heat source behind the door."

"Very big."

"Several times larger than the Devourer."

The Devourer slowly entered the outer light area of ​​the maintenance station.

One by one, the dim yellow station lights came on.

The light swept across the depths behind the door.

There was an enormous, ridiculously heavy-duty armored train locomotive parked there.

Its body is covered with thick armor.

The front end has multiple layers of corner protectors.

The two turrets were shrouded in shadow.

The wheels were higher than the carriages of the Devourer.

In the center of the front of the car, the old-fashioned boiler window slowly glowed with a lively fire.

Flames danced in the furnace.

It's like it's still awake.
