Wanyou Company is one of the three major transport groups, with a multitude of experts within the group, and a vast business coverage, making it extrely strong both financially and in terms of power.
That’s why it dares to collaborate with the Great City on such passenger routes.
However.
Currently, there is no news from the two Tier Two teor experts, and the train has also stopped, indicating that sothing big has happened. Even if there is a train malfunction, with passengers being so agitated, high-level officials should co out to provide an explanation.
At least clarify the reasons for the stoppage.
But now.
Not only has there been no explanation, but there is absolutely no news. The most frightening situation is this complete lack of information.
However.
When several crew mbers tried to contact the train’s higher-ups through the intercom, all they could hear was the crackling static, with hardly any other sound.
This instantly threw everyone on the train into a panic, including those few crew mbers.
"Open the door, tell us what’s happening, you must give us an explanation."
"We can’t just sit here waiting for doom, open the door quickly, or we’ll just tear it down."
The people started shouting.
On this train, most of the passengers were Martial Artists, and the other ordinary people were more or less connected to them.
So if they rise up and decide to dismantle the train, the few crew mbers and those chanical Patrols wouldn’t be able to stop them. And this was just the car where Baiyu was, the situation in other cars was surely the sa.
There were over a thousand people on this train.
A significant portion of them were Martial Artists, and if any chaos ensues, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Please stay calm, we are also trying to contact higher authorities. Once the door is open, we cannot guarantee your safety. This is a steam train designed by the chanical God Cult, capable of withstanding attacks by Exotic Beasts below Level Four, and even Level Four.
The situation is unclear now.
Staying inside is the safest option."
A crew mber attempted to soothe the crowd’s emotions, but it was to no avail. Soon, they had to open the door to satisfy these Martial Artists’ urge to disembark.
Baiyu followed the crowd out of the train.
The road on both sides was spacious enough for so many people to disembark. Baiyu only discovered after getting off that most of the people from other cars had also stepped down, and the reason for the train’s stoppage wasn’t a malfunction, but a huge object ahead on the road.
It was a colossal, twisted darkness.
The front part of the train had already driven into it, as if plunging into a massive black vortex. Now, most people were gathered in front of this dark vortex, their expressions uncertain, without knowing what this thing was.
The train driver was sweating.
"The train can’t be operated, although every part is running normally, it just can’t be moved, not even a step back, not to ntion pulling the train’s head out of the vortex."
The driver explained to the surrounding people.
"What about the two experts? They’re Martial Arts Grandmasters, even if they’ve entered the vortex montarily, shouldn’t they be able to get out?"
"No news, since the appearance of this vortex, they rushed in directly, and there’s been no news since."
The driver was helpless.
When the vortex appeared, he was already disoriented. The two Martial Arts Grandmasters rushed in instantly.
The situation is now at an impasse.
Although those two Martial Arts Grandmasters mostly kept quiet on the train and were resting in separate cars, they were the main decision-makers on this train. When a big event occurs, they were the ones to make decisions.
But now the two have rushed into the vortex, leaving no news.
The other responsible personnel on the train were completely in the dark, not knowing what this vortex was, nor how to deal with it.
If the train stays here too long.
Not only will the train’s schedule be greatly delayed, but it could also attract the attention of Exotic Beasts. Most importantly, if the train can’t escape the vortex, what should they do? Now stranded in this Desert, far from any village or shop, if they stay too long, food on board will run out, and things will beco difficult.
Just as the crowd gathered in front of the vortex, at a loss.
Suddenly.
The vortex fluctuated, a middle-aged man clad in armor and covered in blood rolled out from the vortex.
The train crew’s face changed.
This was one of the two Martial Arts Grandmasters, the strongest expert sitting on this train!
"Run, hurry up and run!"
This Grandmaster, after escaping the vortex, imdiately shouted to the people around.
However.
Everyone clearly did not grasp the gravity of the situation.
Despite the Grandmaster’s shout, many were still standing by, observing the vortex trying to figure it out, while others were asking the train crew to pull the train back.
But in the next second.
The vortex suddenly began to spin, and an aroma that Baiyu found both familiar and revolting erged from inside.
The scent was overwhelming.
Like moldy, expired durian.
Soon.
A pitch-black warhorse burst from the vortex, with a rman clad in aqua armor, face full of blue scales, riding atop it.
An alien race!
Baiyu never expected that behind this black vortex, the alien race would surge forth. No wonder the Grandmaster called for everyone to leave; facing these aliens head-on would certainly lead to defeat.
After the first rman erged, following closely were horse after horse with great montum, as if an apocalyptic invasion was unfolding.
"It’s the Naga Race!"
"Those Naga, riding on the Undead Race’s warhorses, damn it, who knows how many Naga troops are lined up behind."
No one could afford to linger any longer.
Even a fool could see that the continuous stream of cavalry from the vortex was gearing up to launch a battlefield assault.
If they stayed here, they would beco the first wave of souls trampled beneath those hooves.
As more and more Naga warriors charged out from the vortex, the escape pace quickly accelerated. As the proverb goes, it’s each man for himself; they didn’t need to outrun the Naga, just outrun others.
Baiyu was among the panicked crowd.
But after leaping onto a tall tree, he didn’t continue fleeing, instead, he observed the situation of the black vortex.
"It really seems like the Naga Race’s invasion... no telling how large the scale is. The two Tier Two teor experts are dead, suggesting this isn’t a minor disturbance. Wasn’t this black vortex noticed earlier?"
Baiyu frowned.
On this Desert, the sudden appearance of such a large vortex was indeed difficult to notice. But if left unchecked, it could escalate into a large-scale invasion.
