Chapter 334: Chapter 334: Future CityWhen the two retreated to the other end of the train car, Bull Shield had already split open with a long vertical crack. The Butcher Carriage Monster threw back its head and charged, but it was stopped by the Non-Knotting Thread Xu Huo had pre-emptively laid inside the car. These threads, connected to the tables and chairs, were densely arranged across the aisle. When the Butcher Carriage Monster blindly charged ahead, it immediately pulled up the tables and chairs on either side and squeezed them towards itself! Guns that shoot bullets are powerful, but the person holding the gun can’t guarantee they’ll hit the target with every shot. Gadgets are the same, if the person using them can’t keep up with the speed of the Butcher Carriage Monster, small-scale, targeted gadgets won’t unleash their full power. So, Xu Huo’s move wasn’t aimed at trapping the Butcher Carriage Monster but at slowing down its speed! The "Non-Knotting Thread" indeed had some effect, but the Butcher Carriage Monster paid it no mind. It raised its foot and kicked the tables and chairs trailing behind it away, then twisted its head and reached for Xu Huo and his colleague! "You’re no match for it!" the burly man then pushed him back and pulled out a flamethrower, furiously blasting fire at the Butcher Carriage Monster coming head-on. "Bang! Bang!" Under the flames, two loud impacts were heard quickly resounding on the left and right sides of the car. In the next second, the Butcher Carriage Monster had freed itself from the threads and retreated back to the door of the sixth car! A few injured men in suits had been waiting for it; they were already in the fifth car. As the Butcher Carriage Monster entered the connecting car, one of them threw out a bell. The bell ricocheted off the floor and the car walls, its sound not loud but seemingly completely capturing the Butcher Carriage Monster’s attention. At that moment, another person wearing gloves grabbed beside the car door with one hand, and a thick layer of metallic skin emerged on the surface of the transition car. That metallic skin wrapped the Butcher Carriage Monster inside like a dumpling. A third man in a suit made his move, and a long needle threaded with surgical suture automatically roved over the metallic skin, firmly stitching several flaps of metal together! The men in suits coordinated seamlessly; even after trapping the Butcher Carriage Monster, they didn’t let down their guard. Two more used their own gadgets to reinforce the outside, ensuring it couldn’t escape before finally stopping their movements. The burly man, having already taken a potion, showed considerable improvement in his hand. He turned to look at Xu Huo. "Do you know that player with the suitcase?" "No," Xu Huo replied. The burly man nodded without saying anything more. Instead, he quickly stepped forward and directed the men in suits to catch the baby outside the car. The baby was easier to handle than the Butcher Carriage Monster. Fierce as it was, it lingered around the Butcher Carriage Monster like a young beast unwilling to leave its mother, and was soon caged by the men in suits. After receiving an injection of a sedative, it fell asleep. The lighting tools carried by the men in suits lit up again. "Aliens can have children?" Now, the players who had taken shelter in the front car came over. Of course, the men in suits didn’t pay any attention to them; although they had trapped the Butcher Carriage Monster, they couldn’t move it yet, so they could only wait until the train reached the station. "Aliens have reproductive isolation and rarely produce offspring naturally." The old man from the sixth car spoke up. "Evolvers often display animal traits after devolving, and just as there is reproductive isolation between different species, this also applies to Aliens with some animal traits. Therefore, unless through artificial means, the chances of Aliens reproducing are almost zero. It’s said they also lack the impulse." "So, was this the work of a human?" A Small Figure player said in shock and strain, "Can people actually sleep with Aliens?" Those words made everyone present, including Xu Huo, look over unintentionally. The old man said irritably, "Of course, they experimented with Aliens mating with other Aliens!" "That’s just inhuman," a female player crossed her arms and glanced at the baby in the cage before heading into the car to rest. Prior commotion had led most players from the fourth car, which had suffered heavy casualties, to stay in their car or move to the first and second cars. The fifth car’s passengers hadn’t recklessly left either; instead, they huddled together with the passengers from the two cars behind and also witnessed the entire battle between the men in suits and the Butcher Carriage Monster. After inspecting the Butcher Carriage Monster’s "cage," the burly man took two men in suits to the sixth car, closed the door, and pointed to the raised seats, indicating for them to sit down. Xu Huo went with the flow and sat down; the burly man sat opposite him and started, "I’m very grateful for your help just now." "You’re welcome; even if I hadn’t helped, you wouldn’t have been in danger," Xu Huo knew the man wasn’t sincerely thanking him, so he took the initiative to say, "You want to ask about the player with the suitcase?" "I don’t know him, but after the Butcher Carriage Monster appeared, I was in the same car as him and saw him stealthily release the child." He said, "That child was obviously abnormal. After I thwarted his plan, he targeted me, even believing I was a member of the Purge Team." The burly man’s expression unchanged, but the two men in suits behind him looked slightly ill at ease. "Purge Team is a derogatory term used by anti-government criminals for our Orbital Supply Department," the burly man extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, I’m Shi Youzhi, the captain of the First Brigade of Track Supply Department under Garden Castle Station." "Xu Huo," Xu Huo shook his hand. "The Orbital Supply Department mainly deals with various emergencies on dimensional trains, like the three cars you disengaged earlier, which our personnel will have to recover later. Until then, no trains can run on this route," Shi Youzhi explained. Xu Huo felt slightly apologetic, "I caused you trouble." But Shi Youzhi smiled and said, "It’s rare to encounter a player willing to lend a helping hand to strangers. You acted to free the train from the Blood Alien." Xu Huo nodded and didn’t ask any more questions about the Butcher Carriage Monster. Shi Youzhi then asked him where he would get off. When he found out Xu Huo was headed to Garden Castle Station, he said, "Since you’re going there too, I hope you can cooperate with our personnel to write a report after you arrive at the station." "Can’t it be done on the train?" Xu Huo asked. Shi Youzhi said, "The report isn’t something my people do, but don’t worry, it won’t delay your business – you can go do your quest first and then contact me." After speaking, he gave him a piece of code and a futuristic-looking communicator, "As long as you’re within the territory of Garden Castle Station, you can reach me with this Crystal Communicator." Xu Huo took the snowflake-shaped Crystal Communicator, hesitated slightly, but agreed. Thereafter, there was no further exchange between the two. As daylight broke, players began to disembark. By dusk, the train arrived at Garden Castle Station. Unlike the previous disembarkation points, which were out of sight, this time the train had a designated station. After the train stopped, Shi Youzhi and the men in suits quickly worked with the people in the station to transport away the Butcher Carriage Monster and the baby. Xu Huo walked out of the bustling station and saw a city filled with a sense of technology. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Buildings made of special materials stood tall throughout the city. Although there were wide pathways on the ground, most of the transportation was air vehicles: swiftly flipping cars, low-hovering skateboards, and even floating shopping stores in the sky.
