Chapter 70: Chapter 69 Destiny is Calling

“You—” Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

“I thought you’d be used to it by now.” Anthony sheathed his dagger and dropped the body at his feet, “What, did you actually want to spare his life?”

“Maybe his cris didn’t warrant death.”

“Oh co on, here we are the rule, and look—” Anthony gestured with his mouth toward the carriage exit and they saw among the fleeing slaves, there were a few small, young figures, who judging from their appearances, were skinny children no older than twelve, “I’ve done plenty of illegal stuff, but I draw the line at harming kids!”

Zhang Zhiyuan didn’t continue the conversation, he took a deep breath and moved toward the next carriage.

In the following two carriages, they encountered only slaves, and they thodically unlocked each iron cell door. Surprisingly, the boy who was first rescued didn’t flee with the other slaves but followed behind, helping to evacuate the other prisoners.

It wasn’t until the seventh carriage that the five of them finally t so resistance.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the derailnt, but until that mont, GaoTian Mining’s Guard Squad still hadn’t grasped what was happening. They climbed out of the carriages in twos and threes, looking around the wooden bridge cluelessly, never imagining that soone would be attacking from inside the train.

Anthony, who burst through the door first, didn’t hesitate to raise his gun and pull the trigger at the four guards who had stayed inside the carriage.

A series of gunshots instantly broke the silence in the mist!

“Enemy attack!”

“They’re in—”

These four couldn’t even issue a warning before they were brought down by bullets!

“Qianyuan iko, Zhou Zhi, watch the windows on both sides, I’ll go up to the roof! Anthony, you break the doors.” Zhang Zhiyuan decisively arranged. Although they were few in number, they each had a CQ-B automatic rifle, their firepower far exceeded that of steam guns, and as long as they secured this carriage, the locomotive was within easy reach.

But just as he stepped forward, he felt soone grab him.

Turning around, it turned out to be that boy.

“Why are you still here?” Zhang Zhiyuan asked in surprise, “Get going!”

“No… they have a terrifying weapon, if this goes on, you’ll die here,” he shook his head.

“What?”

“What I’m saying is true, you must believe . That weapon is placed at the very end of the train, only if you get

there, you might survive.”

Everyone looked at each other for a mont.

Zhou Zhi couldn’t help laughing, “Why is it that only if we take you there, we’ll have a chance to live?”

“Because I can use the ‘fantasy configuration’!” the boy said loudly.

Fantasy configuration?

Zhang Zhiyuan asked in confusion, “What is that?”

Only Ailuodi beca serious, “What exactly are you referring to as a weapon? A machine?”

“That’s right, a heavy piece of machinery with the power to destroy. It’s a newly developed ‘fantasy configuration’ from the Old Continent, which can only be used by soone with special abilities,” the boy nodded vigorously, “If the enemy activates it first, we’re done for.”

“You know what a ‘fantasy configuration’ is?” Qianyuan iko looked at Ailuodi curiously.

Of course, she didn’t know, but Chaoyang could directly communicate with her in her mind, ‘This steam train and the steam guns they use are essentially a kind of man-made ‘fantasy configuration’. To put it simply, you can think of it as a special class of machinery.’

After Ailuodi repeated the explanation, she asked dissatisfiedly, “Why don’t you just speak directly to them?”

“Wouldn’t temporary patching make

look unreliable?” Chaoyang defended, “Besides, qualified players should also be able to handle sudden ergencies in the ga on their own.”

Zhang Zhiyuan poked his upper body out of the car roof, knocked down two gun-wielding guards, then ducked back down and said, “…I still don’t get it.”

Zhou Zhi’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I’ve got it! You are the legendary high school student!”

“What are you babbling about?” Zhang Zhiyuan frowned.

The boy was also stunned. “High… school student?”

“The enemy’s train was transporting a prototype machine, and it suddenly got ambushed halfway. The eligible fighter is a seventeen-year-old boy. Haven’t you heard this story before!” Zhou Zhi asked excitedly while shooting, “Hey, what’s your na?”

“? Uh… Leisk.”

“No problem Leisk, we’re going to get you to the last carriage now—ow—”

Zhou Zhi hadn’t finished speaking when he got slapped on the back of his head by Zhang Zhiyuan. “Our mission is to get the funds, stop distracting everyone with nonsense!”

“The door’s open!” Anthony also completed his door-breaking job at that mont—he shattered the lock burnt through by the thermite and kicked open the heavy iron door of the conductor’s room.

Rat-a-tat!

What greeted them was a series of rapid gunfire.

Anthony grunted, fell backward, but before hitting the ground, he had already thrown a concussion grenade into the conductor’s room.

A blinding white light burst out from the gap in the door, followed by a piercing boom!

“Ah…”

Screams ca from behind the door imdiately.

Zhang Zhiyuan bent down to step through the iron door and burst fire four shots at two guards covering their eyes! Only after confirming that the enemy was incapacitated did he turn to look at the Russian. “You okay?”

“Hmph, not going to die.” The latter pulled open his shirt, revealing that apart from one bullet that penetrated his shoulder, the rest were stopped by the soft armor on his chest. “Didn’t expect these guys to have automatic weapons, too.”

“Yeah, looks pretty much like a Gatling gun.” Zhang Zhiyuan glanced at the still-smoking multi-barreled gun in the center of the conductor’s room and then focused on searching for the cash box.

Compared to the other carriages, the conductor’s room was a completely different style, with chandeliers above and carpet covering the entire floor. There were beds, desks, sofas, and other furniture on both sides, and the decor was as luxurious as a hotel room.

“It could be a suitcase or a safe, but don’t miss any place where money might be hidden. Mingzi, the rear carriages are up to you!”

“No problem.” Qianyuan Mingzi imdiately dragged a sofa over to block the doorway and then steadily propped her gun on the back of the chair.

“You guys are here to… rob?” Leisk was shocked!

He had nurous guesses about the origins of this group, but he could never imagine their purpose was so “pure”!

“No, we call it robbing the rich to help the poor,” Zhou Zhi corrected, “Why don’t you help out too?”

“But… this is GaoTian Mining’s ard train, right? And… if you don’t hurry to take control of the strange artifact, you won’t be able to take the money out of the Misty Zone!”

“Don’t worry, they have their secret weapons, and we have our own ways of escaping.”

“Zhou Zhi, don’t talk so much!” Zhang Zhiyuan interrupted, “Kid, for safety’s sake, you better scram. Thanks for your help before, we’ll et again if we’re ant to.”

“There’s another person here!” Ailuodi suddenly made a new discovery.

Zhang Zhiyuan rushed over to her side and, indeed, at the end of the conductor’s room wall, there was a man “embedded” in it. Due to the dim interior lighting, they hadn’t noticed the anomaly in the shadowy corner at first. The man’s hands were suspended on iron hooks, his body restrained with leather belts, and with the inward bending of the carriage wall, he appeared to be set into the wall itself.

Unlike ordinary slaves, this man was undoubtedly tortured, his toenails all turned up, his arms full of whip marks, and the blood flowing had soaked his shirt into a dark red.

At the sa ti, his eyes were tightly closed, evidently having passed out.
