Chapter 469: Hunter and Prey
However, this was merely a prelude. The Mutants, who had been lured onto the train by the lights, had not directly attacked it before. But after the carriage ruptured, those Mutants seemed to be awakened by the genuine light and began frantically smashing the train windows!
The relatively sturdy window glass didn't hold up for long under the Mutants' assault. Within seconds, the windows of several carriages shattered in unison!
The Mutants madly tore at the scroll item deployed by Vivi's parents. It looked like countless grotesque figures desperately struggling against a thin membrane, a sight both horrifying and shocking, yet they failed to rip through the item.
Carriage Two was much more stable, as what blocked the outside was a layer of metal. Apart from that initial impact, the Mutants currently couldn't tear through the metal, merely leaving some scratch marks outside.
The players within these two carriages remained relatively calm, not thrown into complete disarray by the Mutant horde. The only one truly frightened was Dr. Deng, who cowered behind Xu Huo, repeatedly calling out Laurence Li's name, trying to curry favor across the carriages and get him to lend a hand.
Vivi sneered coldly, "Laurence Li is notoriously known for killing based on his whims. He'd help you? It'd be good if he doesn't find you noisy and come out to kill you!"
However, what no one expected was that Laurence Li actually made a move. In the blink of an eye, all those frenzied, howling Mutants fell silent. The sound was replaced by a torrential downpour of liquid splattering against the scroll. From inside the carriage, they could see the scroll was completely stained red!
"Thank you! Thank you!" Dr. Deng shouted gratefully.
"Going through the trouble of luring the Mutants here just to kill them... isn't that a bit... pointless effort!" Vivi blurted out after a brief hesitation.
