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

Before leaving, Su Yuan also managed to find a few barrels of diesel fuel in the barn, which Old Mike had left for the tractor.

Although the sealed container of diesel fuel prevented evaporation, judging from the dates in the diary, this diesel fuel had been stored for at least ten years.

After ten years, even if it hasn't completely evaporated, it would have long since oxidized and deteriorated, greatly reducing its combustion performance.

However, Su Yuan did not mind. This thing could be used to make torches, or simply poured out and set on fire, making it an absolutely deadly weapon with a wide-range effect.

But it's too late now.

"Master, they...they all seem to be coming!"

Inside the driver's cab, the flames inside the small fire were throbbing violently, and there was a clear sense of tension in his voice.

"Should we... or should we run? I have a feeling these things are dangerous!"

"Run?" Su Yuan glanced at the driver's seat. "Have you forgotten that this is a five-hour station? We need to stay here for at least three hours before we can run away."

[I apologize, Master, but these dangerous two-star monsters cannot be withstood by the basic defenses of a level one train, and our train is not equipped with any autonomous defense modules.]

"I never intended to hide in the train."

"Didn't you say that with my strength I could handle even a two-star dangerous train station without much trouble? Why are you getting nervous now?"

"How come you chickened out so quickly?"

[The main thing I sensed was that there were far too many of them, at least thirty or even forty or fifty.]

【Master, please be careful behind you and avoid being ambushed. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best, after all, you are outnumbered.】

"What you said does make some sense."

Su Yuan tucked the fire axe into his waistband, then neatly slung the Remington M870 shotgun behind his back, and finally checked the ammunition.

"But your master is very shrewd. If I can't beat you, I'll at least run away. Don't worry, I won't die!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Yuan had already leaped off the train with a light and agile motion.

As soon as they landed, a chilling aura swept over them.

Above, a flock of crows circled anxiously, cawing as if warning of something.

One of the bolder crows even swooped down with a screeching cry, seemingly trying to warn Su Yuan of the danger.

However, before it could fly to Su Yuan, a swift black shadow suddenly darted out from the side and grabbed it in one hand!

"Sizzle!"

With a sharp crack, the crow was torn in two, its warm blood and scattered feathers covering Su Yuan.

Upon seeing this, Su Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

In almost an instant, his eyes had adjusted to the darkness.

Su Yuan's visual ability is now almost the same at night as during the day. Subjectively, the whole world is just filtered through a gray lens.

He could see the dark figure clearly.

It's exactly the same scarecrow I saw during the day!

It stood there stiffly, still clutching half a crow's carcass in its hand, and on its head made of a burlap sack, the photograph of a child's smiling face looked particularly pale in the darkness.

Even more terrifying was that, in Su Yuan's field of vision, all around him—on the ridges of the fields, behind the haystacks, at the edges of the cornfields—were countless, swaying figures.

Each one is a scarecrow that has come to life.

They have formed a huge encirclement, completely surrounding Su Yuan and his train.

"Heh, quite a show of force."

Su Yuan wiped the bird blood off his face, and instead of being angry, he laughed.

He didn't want to waste words; whether it worked or not, he'd only know after the fight.

Su Yuan grabbed the fire axe from his waist, pushed off with his feet, and shot straight toward the scarecrow that had just killed the crow!

Crows are actually quite intelligent. Although they are considered an ominous sign in most places, they are actually beneficial birds.

Now I will avenge Brother Crow!

Since you struck first, then you'll be the first one to be attacked!

During the day, the scarecrows look stiff and wooden, but at night, they become incredibly fast. Their two legs, made of wooden poles, move so quickly that they leave almost no afterimages.

But in Su Yuan's eyes, it was still too slow.

His physical condition can no longer be measured by normal standards.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yuan had caught up with the scarecrow's back. His fire axe flashed with a cold light and whistled through the air as he slashed horizontally!

"puff!"

The axe blade slashed into the scarecrow's body, but instead of the expected feeling of breaking flesh and bone, it felt like cutting into a wad of wet cotton, soft and yielding.

Although the axe cleaved it in half and several supporting wooden poles snapped, the damage seemed insignificant to this strange creature.

However, in the next second, something unexpected happened!

A soft white light suddenly shone from the silver cross on Su Yuan's chest, and this power traveled up his arm and instantly to the fire axe!

Suddenly, a layer of holy white flame ignited on the originally ordinary axe blade!

"ah--!"

A piercing scream erupted from the scarecrow's "mouth".

This sound is not something a living being could make; this thing truly deserves to be called a demon.

Immediately afterwards, its body, made of straw and rags, burst into flames as if it had been doused with gasoline, with white flames engulfing its entire body from the inside out!

"It seems that physical attacks are indeed ineffective. If it's just a simple axe swing, it can only damage a few straws at most, and it's difficult to kill the scarecrow directly. Under conventional methods, only fire can be effective."

"However, a famous person once said that magic must be used to defeat magic."

Su Yuan watched as the scarecrow rolled and howled on the ground, eventually turning into a pile of ashes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing their companions act this way, the scarecrows that were slowly approaching suddenly froze, as if stimulated by something.

Immediately afterwards, they all turned their ridiculous sack heads, and their pale, childlike smiling faces all turned to "look" at Su Yuan.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

These scarecrows usually live together as a group, often playing and hunting together, and at night they would collectively harvest any living creatures that came into their area.

The souls within them are essentially those of children who died young, all unintentionally summoned by Old Mike.

The death of their companion did not frighten them; instead, it aroused their anger.

The piercing screams rose and fell, and instead of slowly surrounding him, they took off with their wooden legs and charged towards Su Yuan like madmen!

In an instant, the entire farm seemed to come alive. Countless dark figures emerged from the fields, from behind haystacks, and from dark corners, bringing with them gusts of foul wind. The scene was horrifying.

"Well done!"

Instead of retreating, Su Yuan advanced, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

He has now figured out the details of these monsters, and they are not actually that scary.

He was able to kill one enemy with a single axe stroke.

The situation has now changed drastically, turning what could have been a bitter struggle into a one-sided massacre!

Suddenly, Su Yuan's entire demeanor changed.
