Namgoong Minsu has seen through the true colors of those guys in the carriages ahead during this time.
They're all cowards!
Wilford has already deceived them so thoroughly, yet they are still worried about Wilford's revenge after leaving the train.
If these people were genuinely and willingly playing this doomsday game with Wilford, then that would be one thing.
But these guys are like a bunch of weather vanes, swaying left and right.
If there was any noise outside, they started shouting again, as if afraid Wilford wouldn't hear them.
One moment I wanted to get out of the car, the next I was afraid of retaliation, so I preferred to stay in the car.
It's like schizophrenia!
Expecting these guys to get anything done?
We might as well rely on the ordinary people in the last carriage.
In contrast, those people are his best partners!
At least they wouldn't care about Wilford's identity.
Leaders of Wilford Industries?
Compared to a group of guys who've been starving for almost a week, this identity means absolutely nothing!
Fuck it!
He wants to get off the bus!!!
Namgoong Minsu immediately got to work, grabbing his toolbox and, as usual, opening the cover of the control system. After fiddling with the panel a couple of times, the car door opened automatically...
Permissions?
He doesn't need that thing at all!
Outside the train.
The Pangu, following behind the right rear of the train, also noticed that the train was accelerating.
The Wei Brothers quickened their pace in unison and followed.
At the same time, Wei Chang's voice rang out again, no longer the mechanical voice that had just been repeated.
He said sternly:
" Wilford, stop the car right now!"
"Otherwise, we will take measures!"
As Wei Chang spoke, he exchanged glances with his two younger brothers.
Everyone understands what the other is thinking.
The reason they haven't taken action is simply that they're waiting for a long enough straight stretch of road.
Only with a straight track can they use Gravity Sling to hold the train in place, ensuring the train is balanced and won't derail on the spot.
"Yes, we are absolutely certain!"
"Then a colossal robot appeared, immune to our attacks, and then flew over our heads and disappeared..."
The ten-man team that had just been sent to sabotage the railway, after witnessing the Pangu, still had the guts to continue their sabotage.
Pangu
After passing them, they left immediately.
Then he reported the matter to his boss.
Then the top boss reported it again...
The message was delivered to Morgan quickly, going through each level of the chain of command.
"A giant robot?"
Upon receiving this news, Morgan immediately had nearby satellite images retrieved.
When he saw the Pangu weighing over 5,000 tons, chasing after the train, he suddenly fell silent.
I don't know what to say to express how I feel right now.
So he forwarded the video to Mather.
Mather then fell silent as well.
"This is?"
"They've already made a move on Wilford!"
"This humanoid weapon, resembling a mecha, must possess some means of intercepting trains!"
Morgan, being an experienced and discerning individual, immediately guessed the purpose of the Pangu.
"So what should we do next?"
"There's no other way, Mather..."
Morgan, phone in hand, said, "Launch our missiles! We absolutely cannot let Wilford fall into their hands."
"Reason?" Mather felt a wave of despair; he still didn't want to be branded as a hostage killer.
"Just say there was a communication problem, and you mistook that giant robot for a weapon to attack the train... so you decided to launch missiles to help the hostages on the train."
As for why a missile powerful enough to kill the hostages along with the hostages was launched, there's not much more to explain.
The bear-style counter-terrorism approach I just learned isn't working!
Mather was silent for a moment.
Morgan then offered some more conditions.
After a long while, he slowly uttered a single word:
"Good!"
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
The Pangu is still running.
Wei Chang had already activated the four sets of plasma jets on the mecha's shoulder blades, waist, and legs to reduce the mecha's weight. His incredibly long legs left deep craters in the ground with each step, closely following behind the train.
Wilford, who witnessed this scene through the surveillance footage, felt even more desperate.
He simply couldn't understand how that enormous, heavy machine could keep up with a speed of 90 kilometers per hour!
This speed is already quite fast for his train.
But that mech managed to catch up on foot...
Speed up! Speed up!
Now, only this word is left in Wilford's mind.
The train accelerated further, gradually reaching 100 km/h.
At this speed, the train began to exhibit some abnormal shaking.
Wilford knew this was because the track didn't support it.
In this state, any sharp turn would cause the train to lose control and derail.
He wouldn't have driven like that if there hadn't been hundreds of kilometers of straight railway tracks ahead.
Crunch, crunch~
Namgoong Minsu disassembled the control system of another car door while it was being shaken.
Despite being in a train with a comfortable temperature, he was drenched in sweat.
He had no idea how many doors he had opened.
He has left his familiar territory.
He had never been here before, and he didn't know how many doors he would have to open before he could see the kidnapped people.
despair!
A rattling sound came from the door lock.
Namgoong Minsu opened the door like a robot, and the next second a stench of decay, filth, and disgust filled his nostrils.
It almost made him vomit immediately.
Squeak~
Namgoong Minsu continued to push open the car door, letting the light behind him flood into the dark carriage.
He saw many people huddled on the ground.
Some people even looked up at him.
You've found the right place!
"Damn it!" Namgoong Minsu vented his emotions, then raised his arms high. "Someone's come to rescue us! Do you want to get off the bus?!"
brush!
In an instant, the people huddled on the ground struggled to their feet, their eyes gleaming like wolves.
"Follow me!" Namgoong Minsu turned around and led the way.
Outside.
The wind and snow suddenly intensified.
The Pangu was still following behind the train.
Wei Chang analyzed the situation. "We're about to enter a straight section; its speed will likely increase further then."
"We'd better take it out the moment we enter the straightaway, otherwise we really don't know how fast it can go."
"We only have two legs; we might not be able to outrun all its wheels."
The two younger brothers responded in unison.
Wei Hu, who was in charge of operating the equipment, was preparing to deploy the Gravity Sling, muttering that they should have eight legs...
Half a minute later.
Wei Hu raised his head.
" Gravity Sling preparation complete."
At the ankle of the Pangu, the cover retracted.
A device that contracted into a cone shape was slowly pushed out...
