But it was too late; there wasn't enough time left for me to work hard! Romieu's death made me realize that if I didn't give this world a harsh dose of medicine, they wouldn't remember the pain!"
"Xia Ya, I'm not the same as you."
"How are you different! Your mental power is simply extraordinary. I can feel it. You're a New Type too, aren't you! As a New Type, you should have felt it! Felt the will of Romieu that remains in this tunnel! He's already dead!"
"So! We can't let more people be like him, their souls imprisoned in this dark tunnel!"
"If it were possible, why would I have planned this whole thing!"
"Stop, Xu Qi! You... shouldn't die here!"
"If I stop here, then what was the point... what was the point of Romieu saving me back then!"
"What?"
Inside the Sazabi, Xia Ya's expression faltered.
Saved by Romieu...
"Xu Qi! You are!..."
"That's right! I was a passenger on the 956 train back then! So I know... how desperate and painful I was at that moment!"
Inside the V2V, Xu Qi's gaze was more determined than ever.
"I won't let that kind of pain happen again! Since Romieu chose to save us with his life last time, then this time! It's my turn!"
"Well said! Young man!"
The sudden voice startled both Xia Ya and Xu Qi!
Behind them, there were many Exoskeleton Armors moving in the same direction as Xu Qi! Just like Xu Qi had done at the beginning, they were slowly slowing down, allowing the train to catch up with them!
"You are... Iron Men? You're SWAT!"
"We can't let you Modu Metro take all the glory..." A spirited, mature female voice came from one of the flame-red armors.
"You can call me Lieutenant Himeko, young man. And – protecting citizens! Is also the duty of our Modu SWAT!"
The armors continued to approach the train, and then...
Crowdfunding group 456127940 "Bang!"
Impact sounds came frequently, accompanied by screams.
Even Himeko was no exception. The terrifying impact had already been weakened a lot by the V2V, but it was still not something their standard armors could withstand.
"I really underestimated this job..."
However, she endured it after all, but there were still SWAT officers who didn't control their relative speed when approaching, and suffered too much impact, and were directly knocked away by the train!
"Ah!!"
"Tch! Damn it..." Himeko knew that being knocked away and crushed into the bottom of the train in this situation was basically a dead end...
"Lieutenant Himeko! No... this is too dangerous! You don't have to die with me!"
"Then why do you think you're here!?"
Xu Qi was speechless.
"I'm sorry..." Next to Xu Qi, inside the crimson armor, Himeko said in a deep voice, "Originally, this should have been the work of our SWAT, it was our dereliction of duty that created all this.
Consider this a repayment, young man – everyone! Push the Solar Furnace to the maximum! At this time, don't think about whether you can stop the car before the energy runs out!"
At worst – we'll die together!
"Roger that! Lieutenant Himeko!"
As many as six or seven Exoskeleton Armors successfully docked with the train. No one at this moment was thinking about saving energy in order to escape. All they were thinking about was one thing.
Stop...
"Stop!"
Xia Ya clearly sensed the situation outside as well. He closed his eyes regretfully, with what looked like tear stains at the corners of his eyes.
"Still couldn't perfectly achieve the plan? In the end, this kind of sadness will spread sooner or later. Humanity must also atone for its soul full of indifference to life. Why don't you understand, Xu Qi!"
"Shut up! If you weren't so radical, how could humanity be so desperate?"
"But I think, it shouldn't be that desperate yet."
A communication sound mixed with electrical noise rang out inside the V2V, and Xu Qi was stunned – Professor!?
"Professor Mobius!"
"You guessed right, Xu Qi. Although this damn drive can't even block the noise, let's use it for now. Listen carefully, I need you to point the signal amplification device on the V2V at the carriage..."
Xu Qi's eyes lit up after listening.
With his current mental power, he could basically fully grasp all the functions of the V2V.
Without Mobius's guidance, a small robotic arm had already extended from the back expansion pack, aiming at the inside of the train.
"Very good! This way, we can get the situation inside the 956 carriage."
"Ready, kid?"
Inside the train car, the white-haired girl, whose name was unknown, gestured towards Kosma again.
Kosma nodded slightly. At the same time, he kept a close watch on the armed personnel in the connecting passage out of the corner of his eye. To snatch his assault rifle and throw it to this girl...
If that was all there was to it, then of course he could do it.
But the problem was, what if the others reacted and started massacring civilians?
Just as Kosma was hesitating again, he suddenly felt his watch begin to release an electric current, stimulating his skin.
The current signal was intermittent, and Kosma immediately realized—it was Morse code!
Translated using the Golden Courtyard's unique communication method, the meaning was...
"Control the car, I'll cooperate with you."
Move!
42, Himeko?
Inside the 956 car, Kosma held his breath. He was currently the closest to the terrorists in the connecting passage of this car, making a successful outcome highly probable.
But there was only one chance...
Kosma suddenly looked up!
Here goes nothing!
"Hmm?"
One of the masked guys seemed to sense something. He was just about to look towards Kosma when, the moment his gaze shifted—darkness fell before his eyes.
His body leaped up like lightning, and slender fingers accurately stabbed into the other's eyes.
The ruthlessness of this move even made the white-haired ponytail girl, who had been observing the situation all along, shiver. This kid... he's got some skills!
Of course, Kosma didn't forget the key point of the operation. While the man was wailing in intense pain, he first used him as a meat shield, pulling him into his arms.
Then, he snatched the automatic rifle from the other's hand and threw it towards where the girl was!
At the same time, a blaze of fire erupted at the front of the train!
Due to their size, everyone's Exoskeleton Armor couldn't fit inside the car, but there were SWAT officers present, and their Exoskeleton Armor was equipped with ranged weapons!
The gunfire at the front of the train immediately attracted the attention of most of the terrorists, and the girl also made a flying leap, catching the rifle Kosma threw in mid-air.
In the current situation, the terrorists at the front of the train were distracted by the police, and there were two terrorists guarding each connecting passage.
Kosma had only dealt with one, and the other had already reacted and was about to attack.
So...
"Shigure Kira! Snipe the target!"
Even in mid-air, Shigure Kira's gun-holding hands were unbelievably steady.
"Bang!"
A clean and crisp shot! Directly hitting the center of the other person's eyebrows behind Kosma!
Kosma was a little dazed—so strong?
Shigure Kira landed steadily on the backs of the passengers who were still squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands.
There was some commotion at the moment of the shooting, but the citizens of Modu seemed to be quite professional, and there was no random standing up and running around. Instead, they squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands even more tightly.
That's right.
Shigure Kira used the backs of these passengers as stepping stones to jump up again! Fortunately, the current location is in the first car... Since the police are handling the front of the car, then she only needs to snipe all the standing targets in the back of the car!
Shigure Kira rushed to Kosma's side, ignoring the boy's shocked face, raised her gun—shoot!
"Bang!"
Inside the command center of the Meilong base, someone suddenly reported.
"956 car surveillance is back to normal!"
Chief Engineer Xia's spirits lifted!
"Project it onto the big screen!"
The giant screen split into four. The upper left corner was still the scene outside the car, with everyone working together to push the car. The other three screens showed the surveillance situation inside the car.
"This is... ah?"
On the screen, a white-haired ponytail girl, holding a rifle, with an extremely stable posture, shot down all the terrorists in the other cars one by one!
Every shot hit without fail, each one hitting the center of the other person's eyebrows!
A total of ten shots! All the terrorists, including those at the rear of the car, were shot dead!
"What... what kind of god is this?"
While the others were still marveling, Mei suddenly reacted—Xu Qi was saved!
Shigure Kira stowed her rifle and winked at Kosma beside her, "Not bad, kid. You've got a big heart."
However, Kosma tensed up instead.
He held up the terrorist whose eyes he'd gouged out, and whose breathing was already faint, as a shield. Looking at Shigure Kira, he asked warily, "Who are you?"
A good judgment.
In fact, even Mobius and the others in the helicopter narrowed their eyes solemnly—this girl was obviously not simple. But now was not the time to dwell on such things.
"Kosma!"
His watch vibrated, but this time it wasn't an electric shock, but a direct call—it was Xu Qi.
"Don't worry about her for now. Immediately follow my instructions and lower all the pantographs on the train! As long as we lose the power source, we can stop the train!"
"Got it!"
Shigure Kira looked at the watch on Kosma's hand with interest.
What attracted her was not the communication device itself, but the background noise coming from beside him during the communication—it was obvious that there were Exoskeleton Armors pushing the train outside.
The previous train vibrations must have been caused by someone successfully docking with the high-speed train.
There are really people who aren't afraid of death... daring to do something like this?
Shigure Kira couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth—interesting.
Outside the train, everyone who was still pushing the train heard this good news.
