From star abyss

Blood.

The bullet passed through Qiu Ran's shoulder. Fortunately, the bullet did not stay too long, causing an over-penetration effect.

Even so, Qiu Ran's right shoulder was still torn open and a streak of dripping blood spilled outwards, and her arm hung down weakly.

"Uh-huh——"

It hurt so much that I couldn't even make a sound. Qiu Ran was knocked down by the pain of the shooting almost instantly. This was not a common 9mm police pistol bullet, but a real full-power rifle bullet. The destructive power of the two was hugely different. At the end of the day, Qiu Ran collapsed on the ground and could no longer lift her right arm.

Go fast - go fast, go fast, go!

In a hurry, Qiu Ran just recognized that it was the frost-coated young man who had been standing guard before. His name seemed to be Hodro. She had no time to think about why the other party attacked her. Qiu Ran gritted her teeth and used her remaining left arm to move forward. Climb forward.

The gunman walked up step by step, pulled the bolt of the gun, and inserted a bullet into it. 'Hodro's' face slowly changed, melting and collapsing like a colloid, revealing the female facial features. The lights in the carriage flickered, and his blond hair suddenly appeared. Dyeing into deep red, his pupils expanded and contracted, evolving into a lighter color. After a few seconds, even his clothes changed into Qiu Ran's attire.

It wasn't until a few seconds after being shot that the second bullet flew past Qiu Ran's back. She hurriedly climbed out of the hard-seat carriage and hid behind the door, and then she regained her composure.

——The interior of the carriage just now was empty, with no one around.

"What's going on? How could this happen?"

Perhaps it was fear that inspired her survival instinct. Qiu Ran's brain, which had never been very good, suddenly became more flexible. Before the opponent could reload the weapon, he rushed to chase her. Qiu Ran raised his left hand and pressed it on the overturned weapon. next to the gasoline barrel.

boom--

The raging flames instantly covered the aisle of the carriage, blocking the gunman's view and route of travel. Qiu Ran grabbed the only remaining barrel of gasoline. Qiu Ran knew that this was the weapon to save her life.

‘Don’t think about anything, go find Li Ozi, Ms. Celia and the others! ’

Qiu Ran hunched over, the pungent smell of burning gasoline, the lingering smell of blood on her body, and the sweat from excessive tension-these things mixed together, making her already panicked mood even more terrifying and confusing. .

I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die - no! I can't die, no matter what!

Click, click...

The blood drew a long and narrow track on the ground, and the severe pain made Qiu Ran couldn't help but scream:

“Help—help me!”

I will go home soon, and I will be able to reunite with my brother and little sister before my eyes. If I die here, there will be nothing left.

The sound of the train running was too loud, and suddenly there was a fierce bombardment of artillery fire outside the door - Qiu Ran realized that it might be the arrival of a new wave of beasts that Celia said.

‘No, if this continues, no one will be able to hear my cry for help! ’

She rushed forward nervously. That guy could kill everyone in the car silently. She had to inform Li Ozi and the others.

Only they have the ability to destroy this terrifying monster——

boom!

Another bullet missed her head, bounced off the wall, and hit Qiu Ran at her feet. She was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground, screaming in horror, and dropped the gasoline can in her hand in panic.

She no longer cared about so much - she couldn't help but turn around and look back. Although the flames in the corridor continued to spread, the rifle came out of the flames. The gunman pulled the bolt lightly, still with a dark tone. Point the gun at yourself.

Qiu Ran lowered her waist and ran forward staggeringly. She had not closed the door of the soft sleeper compartment when she first arrived. With just a few steps, she could hide in the safe compartment.

Just a little closer, just a little closer.

Somewhere in the air, she seemed to feel the gunman's finger pulling the trigger.

Qiu Ran raised her hand and was about to rush towards a safe place ahead.

Click!

The door in front of Qiu Ran suddenly closed, and she threw herself on the plastic steel door.

"No!"

Qiu Ran cried out in despair. Before she could recover from the pain of hitting the door, gunfire rang out again from behind.

boom!

Qiu Ran's screams and the banging of the door were heard endlessly, but for Jane Neria, who was separated by a wall, after the roar of artillery fire from the armored train beside her ears, it seemed not worthy of praise.

She leaned on the closed door panel, locked the door, and walked through the soft sleeper compartment without saying a word. She found Celia who was controlling the weapon system to fight against the beast tide. The latter was facing dozens of screens alone, frowning, and controlling With all the fire control systems of the armored train in sight, Jane Nelia's arrival gave her a slight glance:

"Comrade of the Rose Army, you shouldn't be here. Go back to the carriage. I'm very busy."

Jane shook her head, with a gentle smile on her face.

Celia's eyes narrowed slightly, and she noticed something strange. One hand controlled the fire control equipment, and with the help of the exoskeleton armor, the other hand slowly moved toward the gun bag under her ribs.

"I told you, I'm very busy and have no time to care about you."

Celia said almost as a warning.

She didn't look back and looked at Jane's reflection with the help of the computer screen.

"You guys are always busy."

Jane said calmly:

"Aren't you going to take a break?"

"This has nothing to do with you. I say it again, leave!"

Celia warned seriously:

"Get out of here and don't disturb me. Running the subway is a dangerous thing."

"Danger."

Jane turned her head slightly:

"It seems to be true, I am indeed in danger."

Celia's pupils shrank, she stood up suddenly, immediately took out her gun bag, and pulled the trigger on Jane Nelea.

Bang bang bang——

Three consecutive shots were fired, and Jane's body twisted instantly. Her upper body melted like ooze and split into two halves. She dodged the bullets. Celia quickly put away the headphones on her head and stepped back. While firing.

However, Jane's body quickly turned into a ball of mud. She quickly passed under Celia's feet and came to the opponent's back. In an instant, she grew into a tall body.

Celia hurriedly stopped, twisted around, and punched hard!

Snapped!

Celia's fist was firmly caught by the palm wrapped in mechanical exoskeleton armor. Under Celia's horrifying gaze, the existence in front of her was like a mirror, 'reflecting' her own appearance.

Another ‘Selia’.

The clothes, facial features, messy hairstyle, and even the external exoskeleton armor - they are obviously exactly the same, but for some reason, when Celia sees the other person, she feels that she is incompatible with the surrounding environment, and she feels terrified in her heart.

"Don't be nervous." 'Selia' chuckled: "You look better when you smile."

"What the hell kind of monster are you!?"

Celia was about to raise the gun and point it at the opponent, but 'Celia' beat her one step ahead and put the pistol against Celia's chin.

"Be happy."

It held a pistol exactly like Celia's and said with a smile:

"In our society, there should be only peace and joy."

Celia's pupils tightened, and then she heard the sound of the trigger being pulled.

Snap!

Celia opened her mouth, and suddenly, her eyes subconsciously glanced at the other person's neck, where it looked extremely eye-catching - a scarlet cross-shaped scar that seemed to be a burn mark.

boom!

The gunshot sounded, Celia's pupils froze, and blood and brain matter popped out from the back of her head. Just as her body collapsed downwards, the disguised Celia suddenly opened her arms, and its face instantly eliminated all facial features. The torso cracked outwards, swallowing Celia's body whole like an abyss.

After its body trembled briefly, it slowly raised its head, its eyes became clear, and 'Selia' skillfully pressed the headset and connected to the channel.

Zhou Liefeng's voice immediately entered the communication:

"The artillery fire stopped for a while, what happened?"

Celia naturally sweated, took a long breath, and said:

"Phew—the system just had a malfunction. The Frost Platers sold us a pirated operating system. I had to restart it."

Zhou Liefeng paused, remained silent for a moment, and said:

"Oh, so it's the system sold by Frost Plating Man?"

"The only person you have traded with the committee recently is Frost Plating, right?"

"That's true." Zhou Liefeng said in agreement: "Excuse me, Xiao Se, we still have at least forty-five minutes to reach the underground."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the call, Zhou Liefeng was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and covered his face.

"Selia..."

He beat his chest in pain, raised his head, his eyes were red, full of hatred and anger:

"Someone has replaced Celia."

The system was definitely not restarted just now. The artillery attack stopped suddenly. Only he who had been driving the Youth for many years could hear it. Even Celia didn't know about it.

Who did it—Frost Plating’s hacker? Or is it a frost-plated spy lurking among the passengers?

I don't know, but one thing is certain - someone invaded the armored train, killed and replaced Celia.

As an experienced member of the Metro Brotherhood and the driver of an armored train alone, Zhou Liefeng was far more cautious than ordinary people. He immediately realized something was wrong.

But now, he is alone and unable to do anything else.

The high-speed train cannot stop immediately - even if he stops the train, what awaits them is to be torn apart and devoured by the tide of mutant beasts in the outside world.

How to do?

He had to drive these two cars. The fierce wind, snow and sand would greatly obstruct the view, and an accident would inevitably occur if a layman drove them.

In order to prevent Shikoku from taking away control of the trains, the Subway Brotherhood has never used driverless technology. The vehicles do not even have fire extinguishing devices or closed-circuit televisions, and are so rudimentary that they have almost no electronic equipment.

He could not take the risk of leaving, otherwise he would be irresponsible to all passengers and to the collective property of the Brotherhood.

Celia may have met with misfortune. What was worse than death was that he was imprisoned in the cab in this way, helpless.

At this point, there weren't many choices before him.

Zhou Liefeng switched to the broadcast in the first-class seat and opened his mouth. He pinned all his hopes here.

"Please help us, Mr. Li Ozi."
