The night was as black as ink! As still as water!
As the red light reflected by Jiang City on the distant Sky Screen gradually faded from view, the steel behemoth plunged headfirst into darkness.
As it sped along, it stirred up a howling wind that swept sand and gravel from the wilderness along with it. Dust pelted the carriages, crackling against the metal.
Outside the windows, the night raced past!
Faintly, a few ghostly green glimmers could be seen. They were the eyes of mutated beasts in the wilderness, watching the train like tigers eyeing their prey.
But perhaps sensing the tremendous energy hidden within this colossal object, they lurked to the side, concealed and unmoving!
Jiang Fan and Li Yutang tensed their bodies, their gazes warily fixed outside.
President Wu shook his head and said with a smile,
"You two don't need to be so nervous!"
"Military trains are specially designed. Their power is immense, and compared to ordinary trains, their materials are much tougher, giving them extremely strong resistance to impact!"
"Unless a mutated beast is level four or above, it may pose a threat. Ordinary mutated beasts will be flung away the instant they get close, so there's no need to worry about them!"
After saying this, he was afraid the two of them did not understand, so he explained further,
"The route between Jiang City and Garden City lies in the heartland of Huaxia. It's a cleared zone, so mutated beasts above level four rarely appear there!"
Jiang Fan nodded upon hearing this.
When the phantom of the Sky Screen descended and the Great Rift appeared, large numbers of mutated beasts would emerge within a short time, causing local areas to fall.
But the military would clear out the mutated beasts at the earliest opportunity.
