Chapter 470: Pretty Bad Luck
After they entered, the escort personnel didn't completely seal off the connecting carriage. Instead, they used an item to create a transparent water wall between the two carriages.
The water wall, made from a thin layer of flowing water, not only had defensive capabilities but could also automatically dismantle any defensive walls the players in Carriage One tried to erect. This ultimately forced them to abandon blocking the line of sight, only sealing off the other sides of the carriage.
Carriage Two's side remained sealed with a metal wall, while the scroll in Carriage One was replaced by a huge wooden box. It was unclear what kind of mechanism was outside, but inside was a massive turning wheel. As the Short-haired Female Player pushed it, the sound of clacking mechanical movement rang out from outside. At the same time, the Mutant tide outside also surged onto the train!
The entire train stalled for an instant, as if overloaded, but it quickly began moving forward again, though its speed was greatly reduced.
The item in Carriage One kept turning, and the continuous sound of puncturing flesh and skin echoed from outside, like a meat grinder. It would even get jammed due to the Mutants outside.
"There are too many Mutants," someone said as the turning wheel gradually became stuck as well. What made the situation worse was that special Mutants appeared outside again, and the items in Carriage One and Carriage Two sustained damage once more.
"If this continues, the train might not make it to the next station," Xu Huo remarked at this moment.
This was also a concern for the other players, so the Tattooed Player put on a protective mask and took out a bottle of potion.
The other escorts also donned protective masks. Xu Huo originally planned to share his stored protective face shields with Dr. Deng, but Dr. Deng produced two laboratory-grade protective face shields instead. "These are specially supplied for the lab, usually unavailable outside. Using these is safest."
