Chapter 89: Chapter 85: Opening the LidBuilding’s face darkened, and he immediately switched his gun to the other side, opened the window, and fired a burst at the slim monkey’s silhouette in the nighttime. Dada dada dada!!! Unexpectedly, the slim monkey was very agile, and with his fast running speed, he swiftly weaved through the forest. Building’s machine gun bullets were inaccurate, kicking up dirt and dust behind him without hitting him. The slim monkey had a mad grin on his face as he yelled towards the direction of the convoy. "Hahaha, boss, there’s just one man, two beauties, the rest are all supplies!! Hurry up and rob them, or else there’ll be nothing left!!" His words were highly provocative, instantly stirring up the wild spirit of the convoy. Dada dada dada! Dada dada! Following the first gunshot, the convoy of ruffians started to fire collectively, spraying bullets towards Building’s direction. Amidst the gunfire and bullets, sparks flew everywhere, forcing Building and Sha Sha to quickly pull back their guns and take cover. Countless vehicle headlights and searchlights lit up the train in the dark night. Seeing Building pinned down by gunfire, the crowd became even crazier. Some people revved their engines and charged towards the train; gun barrels protruded from car windows as they fired at the train. "They have only three people!" "There are a lot of supplies on the train!!!" "Kill that man." Ding ding ding... Countless bullets hit the steel armor of the ’Infinity’, creating a crisp vibration, but the train stood like a fortress, with ordinary bullets doing no damage whatsoever. But those people didn’t care; at this point, they seemed red-eyed. All they needed was to suppress Building with firepower and then find a way to get close to the train. Several charging vehicles started to maneuver, some rushed to hijack the armored vehicle, and others held up Molotov cocktails. The doomsday ruffians began to besiege the train! ... On the other side, in the dark Number 1 carriage, Lin Xian paced back and forth, the surroundings deathly quiet. The headless Red Clothes ghost with a good figure stood to the side in a bikini, while her head on the ground kept watching him move. "Frequency... frequency" Suddenly, he stopped, looked up at the ceiling light in the carriage, and his heart stirred. He recalled the lights earlier. There was one thing that seemed not to be affected by the strange frequency. That was his Mechanical Heart! Crack crack~ Lin Xian held his breath, tried making the lights flicker twice, and then waited for a response. After a while, the lights indeed flickered twice more. Outside amidst gunfire and bullets, Chen Sixuan watched the flickering lights and immediately guessed Lin Xian’s intentions; she also switched the lights off and on twice. In that moment, Lin Xian, watching the flickering lights above, felt a wave of emotional warmth. It always had to be my Teacher Chen... "If the lights can flicker, then the simplest method would be... Morse code!" "I’ll think about it, AM07, AM07, drop the 0, just AM7, Teacher Chen will definitely understand." Chen Sixuan, being a university professor familiar with railway knowledge, should have some insight into international light signals. Lin Xian tried to recall, "on—indefinitely represents long, on–off represents short, with an interval of 1 second, so it should be" ·━/━━/━━···/ So, Lin Xian started activating Mechanical Heart to signal with light. First three short, three long, three short, to send an SOS, indicating to the other side that he was using a signal light. ... On the Infinity’s side, a fierce battle was unfolding. Bang bang bang! Building relentlessly fired back through the train’s windows amidst a hail of bullets. "Brother! They have too many people!" Lou Shasha yelled, firing another grenade out the window. Boom! The grenade accurately hit the front left engine hood of a small pickup truck, instantly exploding and blowing up both the engine and the tires. The inertia flipped the vehicle over, sending it rolling down the hill, leaving the fates of those inside unknown. Dada dada, clang clang clang! Countless bullets poured in, intensifying the firefight. Those on the train realized they were facing a sizable mob of raiders. Several vanguard vehicles had already charged up to the train, with a dozen eager raiders crouching to disembark. They dispersed, some running towards the locomotive, while others headed towards Carriage 5 and the armored car. These raiders began employing various means to try to pry open the train doors. The rear platform was already swarming with people wielding steel pipes, crowbars, and large machetes, and some even pulled out trailer hooks and chainsaws from off-road vehicles, all frantically waiting for the moment the doors would burst open. "Don’t be afraid, everyone, there are really only three of them!" "We’ve struck gold." "Let’s loot the cars at the back first!" The firepower from the train seemed to hardly deter the bloodshot raiders, with some continuing to shout aggressively. At that moment, a shadow in the raider fleet suddenly sprang sideways onto the roof of a moving vehicle, stomping down hard. An immense force erupted, stomping the roof down on the spot and propelling the figure high into the air. Thump. The shadow landed on the Infinity’s roof, raising a fist and smashing it down hard. Bang! Despite the immense force, only a minor dent appeared in the armored roof. Seeing this, he was somewhat taken aback; it seemed the armor on this train was no ordinary steel. His first strike failing, the man then ran towards the train’s rear, preparing to open the hydraulic tailgate! "Brother, it’s a superpower user!" Hearing the tremendous noise above, Sha Sha and Building instantly realized what was happening. Thump! Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The man on the roof rolled, landing in a kneeling position at the rear, his hand forming into a palm, hardened into black metallic skin, and immediately thrust into the gap between the tailgate and the carriage! Hiss!! In an instant, sparks flew, his skin proving harder than steel, attempting to manually overcome the hydraulic mechanism. He managed to pry open a slight gap in the hydraulic tailgate, inserting his other hand simultaneously, then tried to force it open with both hands. But the strength of the hydraulic tailgate was not so easily overcome, so he only held that slight gap, shouting to the back "Zhu Laosan, hook it up!" "Alright!" Another raider, a thin monkey with a scorpion tail, loudly pulled out a metallic car hook from several cars ahead, ready to hook the tailgate directly and use the force of several vehicles to pull it open. Bang bang bang! At that moment, a burst of bullets shot through the gap, with Building below hoisting a machine gun and spraying upwards, only to find that the man on the roof was a middle-aged man with a full beard. The bearded man merely turned his body, which had turned a grayish black, and the bullets that hit him bounced off as though striking metal. "Brother, nice aim." The bearded man sneered, intensifying his grip, "Old man’s here to crack open this shell for you!"
