Xiaoba instinctively looked at others, Yu Jing seemed lost in thought, and the two puppet warriors wouldn’t speak at all.
Lin Jin contemplated, "We need to buy time for the train captain."
He Jie took a drag from his cigarette and smiled, "So it means fighting."
Lin Jin affirmed, "We must fight, at least get that digestion time down to under two days!"
He Jie pinched the cigarette out with two fingers, "For this battle, you’re the main force. Kill well, let those damn mushrooms know who the real boss of this land is!"
Within a few words, the two men set the tone.
Yu Jing coolly added, "One colony might not be enough, ask Ma Hongyu, broaden the target."
...
When Lin Jin released the first pillar of fire, Su Huan saw it.
This energy-consuming pillar of fire was intended for him to see.
"The train is under attack!"
Yu Yue furrowed her delicate eyebrows.
Watching the pillar of fire, Lu Xiao felt a chill in his heart.
If he returned now, Miao Qi would never wait for their rescue.
But the train is everyone’s home; with it under attack, can he stop them from going back?
On one side is the woman, on the other, the foundation everyone lives upon.
Even facing Xiaoma, who had been following him, Lu Xiao couldn’t say otherwise.
For a moment, Lu Xiao’s mind blanked.
He dared not recall anything related to Miao Qi.
Clearly, their relationship was one of mutual convenience, temporary. He had never made any promises to Miao Qi, they got through the days as needed, yet for some reason, his heart felt hollow, a black hole emerged, pulling him down relentlessly.
The heavy and suffocating feeling made the wounds from his chest surgery faintly ache, blood vessels in his sclera formed a web of red, like a blood pool.
"Ha, roasting mushrooms behind me."
Su Huan said indifferently, then turned his head calmly and continued chasing ahead.
The soldiers didn’t hesitate, striding to catch up.
Lu Xiao’s eyes widened, his body stiffened in place.
Xiaoma patted his shoulder, "Going to save Sister Qi, catch up, Brother Xiao!"
"Mm!"
Lu Xiao turned and dashed out, instantly surpassing all soldiers, second only to the train captain, once again feeling his heart come alive.
It thumped in his chest cavity.
