"Find one that will do for now, there’s another chance to choose at the next stop."
The young man with dark circles under his eyes slightly frowned and also started to move, but not in the sa direction as the other two.
Wang Zhifan, who was in car 666, naturally knew that the three of them were on the run. His strong hearing allowed him to hear their conversation clearly. Yet, he didn’t feel it was a big problem as he was already used to being set up.
"Hehe... Forbidden zone... They’ve specifically set up with a captain role to force to enter the forbidden zone? Such a cunning sche."
He knew he couldn’t go to other cars because of this captain role, which ant being forcibly assigned a dangerous task without a way to escape, lacking the autonomy that other players had.
"And you? Don’t you plan to leave?"
Feeling helpless, he looked towards the only remaining player in the car, the short-haired girl in sportswear who rarely spoke.
"I’ll leave at the next stop."
The girl’s brief response nearly made him spit out blood.
"Speechless... Now I’ve truly beco a solitary figure."
Wang Zhifan felt a bit powerless to make fun of the situation. Even though he believed going solo wasn’t so bad, he couldn’t escape the feeling of abandonnt once his teammates all ran off. This was probably due to the inherent nature of humans as social creatures.
Before long, the train stopped at Platform 15, completed personnel exchanges, and the doors of each car began to close. It set off once again, heading into a blood-filled, unknown world.
Car 666 beca quite deserted, leaving only two of the original five players, one of whom planned to run at the next stop and showed no desire for communication.
Wang Zhifan adjusted his mood and continued lying on the seat for dream training until the broadcast above forcibly diverted his attention.
"Dear passengers, it’s ti to clean the train. Due to insufficient personnel, please clean the adjacent cars yourselves. To facilitate, all adjacent doors will automatically open during the cleaning."
"What the hell? Passengers have to handle cleaning?"
When the bizarre announcent sounded, Wang Zhifan woke from his dream, unable to understand the operational logic of this train.
However, before he could figure it out, the train responded. The car doors at both ends slowly opened, allowing an evil aura to pour into car 666 from both directions!
"Damn... An ambush from both ends, is it?"
At that point, Wang Zhifan understood the train’s intention. It wasn’t to have passengers clean anything, but rather to let sothing else clean the passengers!
"I’ll handle it from this end! But I can’t guarantee holding it!"
With the doors of adjacent cars opening, nurous ghosts were about to rush in. The usually quiet female player in sportswear promptly shouted to Wang Zhifan, indicating she would deal with the ghosts from the sideline car.
"Alright! Do your best!"
Wang Zhifan recalled this player’s skill at hiding, quite surprised by her volunteering to handle one side. He thought she would vanish, leaving all the pressure on him. Now, it looked like she still had so integrity.
At that very mont, the two exchanged words and entered combat, as ghosts started entering the car from the front and back doors.
Wang Zhifan, as usual, wielded the Thunder Dragon Fury to et the enemies. He first slashed out a Dream Splendor Blade Light through the front door, then charged forward to engage the ghosts in lee combat, repeatedly activating the Lightning Chain to cleanse the car.
However, it seed these ghosts were collectively strong, with many immune to Thunder Dragon Fury’s physical damage. The Lightning Chain only eliminated so, and a few could resist both physical and lightning damage, rendering the Spirit damage from the Great Dream Saber Scripture ineffective.
"Source of Ice!"
Under ghost attacks, Wang Zhifan relied on his Biological Force Field Defense for several seconds, realizing his stamina was draining faster than expected before activating his trump card ability.
At once, a layer of crystalline white frost covered the car, suppressing most active ghosts. Only the strongest ones seed able to resist the ice sealing power, continuing to entangle with him.
The most vexing was a ghost with a human head and insect body. It could resist physical and lightning damage, its Spirit resistance was incredibly high, and after Wang Zhifan used the Source of Ice, it seed the ice elent had little effect on it, forcing him to either evade or defend. Fortunately, the creature’s attack wasn’t particularly strong, nor was it fast.
Yet, the car’s limited space beca a problem within seconds. Wang Zhifan was surrounded by the ghost’s extending insect-like body, leaving little room for maneuver.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
At this mont, the hideous ghost’s human head spewed foul air towards Wang Zhifan as its increasingly long insect body constrained his movent. But this wasn’t his only challenge—close to a hundred black ghostly hands stretched from the floor trying to grab him, and a massive, distorted ghost face on the ceiling raged, attempting to create a domain-like effect to imprison him. Combined with other ghosts not yet completely eliminated, he was essentially facing countless foes, with pressure coming from all directions, leaving no escape.
"Why are the ghosts from these two cars so nurous and powerful?"
At this mont, Wang Zhifan couldn’t help but feel infuriated. He saw the female player lasted only about two seconds before disappearing, unable to withstand the fierce ghost attacks. Although he could handle this level of trouble, he felt this instance was excessively hard on him right from the start, presenting an unmistakable sense of hostility.
"Lots of enemies and resistance to various damages, huh! Then I won’t hold back!"
"Invisible! Fire Shield!"
Surrounded, he first activated the Invisible Deceitful Clothing’s ability to boost defense, followed by enabling the Demon Dragon Battle Armor’s Fire Shield to further strengthen defense while adding fire damage to all ghosts who dared to approach.
These two asures were to solidify his position. Next, he retrieved a seemingly light but really heavy scimitar from his personal space, an exceptional weapon from the previous instance: Ocean ssenger.
Ocean ssenger, as the na suggests, wields maximum power in marine environnts. Using it in a car seed inappropriate, but its heavy abyss effect—35% instant kill chance independant of marine conditions—was effective against powerful single enemies.
Of course, Wang Zhifan wasn’t in a one-on-one situation, but with Thunder Dragon Fury being restrained, he had no choice.
"Dream Splendor Continuous Slash!"
With the scimitar in hand, he slashed out a dazzling blade light around him, hoping to trigger the instant kill effect, only to break through so frozen ghosts with minimal impact on those still attacking him. This indicated wide instant kill trigger via trickery was impractical.
Having realized this, he switched to a pure lee attack mode, swiftly slashing the surrounding ghosts, delivering over thirty cuts in half a second—aiming not for strength but for the instant kill trigger.
This strategy proved highly effective in the next half-second. Amidst the sound likened to waves crashing against rocks, the ghost face above, the insect-bodied human head before him, and the ghost hands below shattered into nothingness, while most surrounding ghosts vanished, save for a couple that survived without serious attention.
