The train conductor remained calm and then began to respond.

"Attention all train attendants! Attention all train attendants! This is the train conductor. Please immediately activate the emergency armory, take your weapons and defensive measures, and proceed to carriage number five. Remember, try to remain calm and do not disturb the passengers in other carriages to ensure no disturbance occurs," the train conductor announced.

Then, she took out a set of keys, opened a safe inside, and took out a Soul Guidance Handgun.

She glanced at the gun in her hand, then at a photograph inside, and looked somewhat nervous.

"By the way, you kids, remember not to go anywhere. At the very least, you mustn't be in any danger," the train conductor then instructed Wu Yang Jin and the others.

After calming herself down, she resolutely walked out, her eyes filled with determination!

"No, sister, I'll go with you," Tang Wu Lin said.

"No, you and you."

"Sister, let's go too. After all, we are Soul Master, and we are at least Three Rings, plus one Four Rings and me, a Five Rings. With you here too, it will be easier to solve the problem," Wu Yang Jin interrupted.

"Yes, I'll go too, it'll definitely be fine," Wu Siduo said.

"Yes, we should help out when we encounter this kind of trouble!" Xu Xiaoyan said.

"No, you're being ridiculous! You're all just kids. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to face your parents?" the train conductor said, stopping them.

"Besides, I know you are Soul Master, and very powerful children. However, our Security Captain on the train is also Soul Master. So, let us adults handle this. Moreover, precisely because you are still children, you all have bright futures ahead of you, and it will be safe for you to stay here," the train conductor continued.

"So, if there is any real danger later, I will have the last five carriages of the train shut down. All of you must stay here and remember not to go anywhere."

As he spoke, just in case, the train conductor pointed a gun at the group.

Then, he quietly backed away and slowly retreated, locking the door behind him.

"Wu Yang Jin, what do we do?" Wu Siduo asked.

"Huh? You trust me that much?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"You're the team leader, and I trust you. Besides, you'll definitely go back to help, won't you?" Wu Siduo said.

"Of course. Wait a minute, create some distance, then I'll freeze this part, and then Wulin, you use the Golden Dragon Claw," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Oh right, we also need to consider all kinds of dangers. Wu Siduo, you do it... Do you understand?" Wu Yang Jin said.

"So, that's how it works? Hmm, I understand," Wu Siduo said.

"Then, the rest will depend on the three of us. Xu Xiaoyan, be prepared to be an award-winning actress later," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Okay, don't worry, class monitor!" Xu Xiaoyan replied.

Then, on the train conductor's side, she quickly walked to the location and saw the security team that had been notified.

"How is the situation?" the train conductor asked seriously.

"Here's the thing, train conductor. There are six thugs on board, but we don't know how they managed to bring Soul Guidance Ray Gun on board. Moreover, they have a lot of weapons; four of them are armed with Soul Guidance Ray Gun that can fire continuously. There's also a small Soul Guidance Cannon, and they said they have several Soul Guidance Cluster Bomb, which are already attached to the carriages," the Security Captain said.

"At the moment, the casualties are still unclear. But... I'm afraid that someone might actually resist and kill people," the Security Captain continued.

"Kill them... Phew... I understand. Now, what we need to do is stabilize the situation," the train conductor said.

"Yes! All of our personnel, more than a dozen in total, are now in position and are in a standoff with them. However, we are at a disadvantage in terms of weaponry," the Security Captain replied.

"By the way, what's the current situation of all the passengers, excluding those who were murdered, who are still alive?" the train conductor asked.

"This is a very bad situation, because these criminals are using the passenger seat shields to protect themselves. Moreover, they have likely already taken control of the first few carriages. And, as mentioned earlier, the cluster bombs have been planted and have been fitted with timers," the Security Captain said.

The train conductor was somewhat taken aback, not expecting to encounter such a situation.

"I've entered carriage number five. Immediately shut down the power supply to carriages six through sixteen, and make sure it operates independently. By the way, have you sent the distress signal to headquarters?" the train conductor asked through the communicator.

"A rescue has been dispatched, but you, train conductor..." the person on the other end said.

"Alright, that's enough. Just carry out the orders." the train conductor said.

Then, the reason she disconnected carriages six through sixteen was that she wanted to stay in carriage five herself.

If the worst-case scenario occurs, then we must perish together.

"Listen up, everyone inside! I'm the train conductor. Please don't act impulsively or harm the passengers. So, you can state your conditions; we can discuss them. As the conductor, I will do everything possible to meet your requests, as long as the hostages are not harmed," the conductor shouted into the carriage.

However, this time there was a response.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. You're the train conductor, right? Let me tell you, our conditions are simple: tell the Federal Government to release the group they arrested twenty days ago! After that, once our people are safe, I'll naturally release the hostages here. Also, I know you can cut off the back carriages, so don't make any rash moves," the gang leader said.

"Because the first five carriages are equipped with Soul Guidance Cluster Bomb. I don't need to tell you how many passengers are in those carriages, right? So, your time is running out. The cluster bombs are timed for thirty minutes. If you don't get a clear answer within thirty minutes, you'll all be buried with them," the gang leader continued.

Then, the train conductor was a little surprised, because she didn't even know about this from the news.

"Is that true? Has headquarters been notified?" the train conductor asked.

"Yes, we've already notified them. But headquarters said that it would be impossible to get this information forwarded in half an hour. Besides, it's said that those arrested are all extremely vicious people," the Security Captain said.

"Tsk, when will the support arrive?" the train conductor asked again.

"Right now, it will probably take another twenty minutes. But the enemy has a bomb, and even if reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid... the chances of winning will be very slim," the Security Captain said, sweating profusely.
