Chapter 653 - 312 Curtain Station_2
Lin Wu held his handgun, blowing into the barrel as he faced the mirror, unable to capture the vibe of the male protagonist on a movie poster. When he heard the first gunshot, he instinctively looked up, and as Nightmare was pumping the shotgun ready for a second shot, Lin Wu dodged to the side, barely missing the barrage of steel pellets.
Good people do not live long; misfortune lasts for a thousand years.
Even at such close range from the shotgun blast, Lin Wu still managed to avoid vital hits. His right hand, right arm, and right leg were crippled, losing the ability to move. Lin Wu lay on the passage’s floor, raising his left hand to fire two shots at the ceiling. Nightmare, on top of the car, didn’t notice, broke open the shotgun’s barrel, loaded two cylindrical cartridges, snapped the barrel back into place, pumped the forend, took a step forward, and prepared to fire two more rounds downwards.
Lin Wu lay at the side of the passage, only able to see the holes pierced by steel pellets in the ceiling, unable to see Nightmare’s position. At that time, his left leg was crippled, and he was severely injured. The holes were too small; Nightmare could not find Lin Wu’s position and believed he had rolled into a blind spot beyond his sight. Was Lin Wu dead? No, Nightmare didn’t believe it.
Maya, at the front of the train, turned to assess the situation, picked up the repeater gun beside her, and walked through the door to Corridor Bridge. A normal carriage would lead directly into another through the doors. Old-style locomotives were somewhat different. The engineer would climb a few steps to reach the Corridor Bridge, pass through two or three meters of the bridge before reaching the control room.
Just as Maya stepped out onto the Corridor Bridge, the train entered a tunnel, plunging everything into darkness. Maya didn’t dare move recklessly; the tunnels of that era were designed with precision and left little space.
The emergence of the tunnel was within Nightmare’s calculations. As they approached the tunnel, she immediately lay down, dropped the shotgun, grabbed onto a protruding object before letting go, and slid down with her legs facing downwards, clinging to the side of the carriage. The walls of the tunnel constantly rubbed against the back of her clothes. When Nightmare was about to lose momentum and fall, she firmly grabbed onto the thick window ledge outside, her legs nearly touching the ground.
One hand gripping the window ledge, Nightmare lowered the tri-lens night vision goggles from her forehead. This was a tunnel stretching 5 kilometers long, giving her plenty of time to kill Sasha and then Lin Wu, or Lin Wu then Sasha, or even Maya first.
