Chapter 112 Lane Changing Station
Inside the boiler room, the flame from the boiler barely illuminated the carriage, with sparks popping out from time to time.
Horod smoked his pipe, puffing out large clouds of smoke from his mouth. The dim light shone on his old face, making him look particularly creepy and terrifying, but he seemed to have recovered from the fear. He pointed to the track ahead and said:
"This is Railway 39-77. In about half an hour we'll reach the track change station. There's a crossroads there. We need to take the left track, pass through the Black Dead Forest, and then arrive at the town of Kadeng. If it hasn't been destroyed, we should be able to successfully resupply coal there. After all, our train can't move forward indefinitely unless you can continue to provide firepower..."
Having said that, he turned his head to look at Shihui. There was no emotion on the other's face, but his slightly furrowed brows seemed to express that he was lost in thought.
Like at the Charles Transfer Station, when Lime used the flame so desperately that she almost became a barbecue, it felt like standing in a sauna and a psychopath locked the sauna and poured water into the stove frantically.
At that time, just breathing the lime felt like a tearing pain in my body, and my blood felt like boiling water. One can imagine the tremendous willpower and mental strength required to dare to use magic to summon fire in such a desperate way.
If she were allowed to continue providing flames like this, the sauna would undoubtedly be completely welded shut, and the corpse would probably be as hot as barbecued meat by the next day.
Even if she survived, her lifespan would not be able to support her crazy squandering, and by then all her money would probably be lost.
Since she couldn't gain health points from monsters, she had to use them carefully.
Although her health points seemed to be plenty and could be squandered at will, she was now more seriously injured and her magic was overdrawn more, so her health points were naturally deducted more and more, and it was impossible for her to squander them at will.
What's more, there are seven or eight people. The most direct way to heal them after they are injured is to use magic, which also consumes the most magic.
The woman and child alone suffered severe burns all over their bodies, and the recovery process took nearly a thousand days of her life.
You can imagine how much health points would be needed to heal these people in the team if they were seriously injured!
Shihui could only comfort himself in his heart that it would take a hundred days for his broken bones to heal. Now this old man wanted to use him as an endless source of energy, which was definitely impossible.
"no!"
Huoluo fans were stunned when they heard such a decisive answer, not understanding why the other party would refuse.
In his perception, the other party was a terrifying and mysterious witch, and he didn't understand the terrible price that would be paid for using magic.
"What a stingy girl! No man would like you."
"Tsk..." Shihui couldn't help but smack her lips, but she was too lazy to argue with the old man. If he hadn't been useful, he would have become fuel in the boiler.
Although she is somewhat determined to save the world, it does not mean that she will turn from a black-bellied monster into a white lotus saint.
"After all, killing people and saving the world don't conflict at all. Killing all of humanity might actually be a way of saving the world in disguise."
"Your thoughts are dangerous, kid..."
As soon as this crazy idea came to her mind, the voice of the mysterious girl appeared in her mind again, as if trying to stop her in time.
But the other goddess did not seem to agree with the girl's advice and immediately conveyed her will through the system message.
【The Goddess of Death agrees with your idea】
[The Goddess of Death supports you in your killing spree]
[As her child, you have the right to kill all living things]
[The Goddess of Death warns you not to accept the temptation of some crazy women]
Looking at the constantly flashing message screen, Shi Hui simply turned a blind eye and kept her mind calm. After all, she had no interest in watching two crazy goddesses quarreling and bickering.
The most urgent task is to find the lane change station. If it is also destroyed or occupied by monsters, it will be a big trouble. I am afraid that there will be considerable danger at that time.
We cannot make simple plans for everything. We must prepare for the worst-case scenario and have multiple ideas and escape routes.
After thinking for a moment, her mind had deduced many possible events and problems, and she immediately said: "What should we do if the staff there dies?"
Hearing this, Holod took a puff of his cigarette and said, "That might be a little troublesome. After all, the joysticks in the switching station are much more troublesome than operating the train, not to mention the tracks at a crossroads, which is even more troublesome. I'm afraid at least four joysticks will be needed to operate together. I'm afraid I have to go there myself..."
Shi Hui thought for a moment and said, "I see. Then, we'll stop the train near the track change station. I'll send someone over to investigate first, and we'll be prepared to respond to any emergencies."
"That's the only way. I just don't know if monsters will attack the train."
After all, Shihui was a gaming geek on Earth before, so of course she had come into contact with things like train lane changes, but she only knew to shoot the lane-changing pole with a gun, and then the tracks would automatically change lanes.
Thinking of this, she felt a little regretful. If she had been exposed to more knowledge at the beginning, maybe she wouldn't be so clueless about these trains now.
But before she came to this world, she had never thought that people could actually travel to another world. Even if she did, it should have been an extremely exciting start.
"There are risks in other worlds, so be careful when crossing over..."
As for whether monsters will attack the train, that is no big deal. After all, there is a deadly fog chasing it.
[Blood Mist Devouring Speed: 10 meters per second]
【Expected arrival time: 06:51:23】
Seeing that the arrival time was not decreasing but increasing, Shihui felt a lot more relieved.
By keeping a distance in this way, the time she has to operate will be greatly increased, and she will not be tightly pressed by others.
"At this speed, we can create a sufficient distance between us and the blood mist, but this requires no delays or unexpected events. The old man said we need to refuel at least twice along the way, and there might be unexpected events that could delay us. So we must take advantage of this opportunity to create distance between us and the fog. The further we are, the greater our chances of survival!"
……
Half an hour passed in a flash. This period of time could be said to be a rare period of peace. No danger occurred and no monsters were even seen.
Although it was good that he didn't encounter any monsters or troubles, Shi Hui felt increasingly insecure deep down. After all, at times like this, it was often as if something was holding back a big move.
After all, the goddess of good luck has never really come to Shihui, and she is very aware of this.
"Buzz!"
Horod stepped on the buzzer skillfully and began to pull and turn various control instruments.
The train slowed down slowly, and not far away I saw a small wooden house of about ten square meters, standing alone next to the railway tracks.
Right in front of the cabin is a tangle of train tracks.
Shihui walked out of the boiler room and stood at the front of the car to take a rough look. There was no trace of any suspicious monster. She took out the telescope that Ou Lei gave her from her backpack and observed carefully.
"There's no sign of a monster, and there's no debris on the tracks. As for the switchback station, it's a bit far away, so I can't see what's going on inside, but it looks like there's no one inside, or at least no one alive."
Horod, who followed out, nodded and frowned, saying: "That's troublesome... Should we go over now? I'm a blacksmith after all, I can still beat up some ordinary monsters."
"Hmph, not yet." Shihui sneered, not wanting to be sarcastic. After all, the old man was kind-hearted. She summoned a Hell Knight through her consciousness to go ahead and gather intelligence.
After receiving the order, the Hell Knight on the second carriage jumped down first and ran towards the target location like a cheetah. In just over ten seconds, he had reached the wooden house of the lane change station.
"What a formidable monster!" Horod couldn't help but sigh as he watched the Hell Knight move so swiftly and fiercely.
Just as the Hell Knight walked to the door and was about to open it, a gunshot was heard from inside the house.
"boom!!!"
