Chương 20: Beast Tide
Biên tập viên: Dragon Boat Translation
Lu Huai was shocked.
A demonic beast attack was no small matter.
And looking through the window, it was definitely not as simple as just one or two demonic beasts.
This dark cloud-like demonic beast was definitely at the level of a beast tide!
A beast tide.
It was the type of crisis that people have talked about the most since the re-emergence of spirit qi.
No matter where one was, one could hear and see news about the damage caused by beast tides.
Tens of thousands of people died at any given moment, and the number of martial artists who died was also in the hundreds!
Lu Huai knew very well that once a beast tide appeared, if there were no super experts who came to suppress it in time, then the area would be doomed to quickly become a mass grave for humans!
It was not impossible for there to be millions, tens of millions, or even more corpses.
In the history of the alliance, there was an article about the situation after District 14 encountered an especially large beast tide.
The entire District 14 was annihilated, and only a few lucky ones managed to survive.
Ever since then, District 14 had not been able to recover.
But why would they encounter a beast tide?
One had to know that the probability of encountering a beast tide was extremely low.
Moreover, they were on a railcar, which would deliberately avoid demonic beasts.
By right, they should not have encountered a beast tide.
Even if they occasionally did come across a gathering of demonic beasts, they would quickly avoid it and not cross paths with them.
"All passengers, please remain calm. The railcar has merely encountered a group of demonic beasts by accident. Nonetheless, this is an emergency. To avoid casualties and any more accidents, please remain in your seats and do not move around."
After that, the alarm suddenly stopped.
A voice announcement appeared to have calmed the emotions of the passengers.
"I was scared to death just now. We actually encountered a group of demonic beasts!"
"What's with the people driving this railcar? How could they be so careless? How did they end up barging into a group of demonic beasts?!"
"Yeah! They're so unreliable!"
Liao An covered his red and swollen head and got up from the ground. When the railcar had been shaking just now, he had lost his balance and was thrown onto the ground.
An accident?
Lu Huai glanced at the horde of demonic beasts that blotted the sky and covered the earth.
The demonic beasts were hitting the protective shield of the railcar with all their might.
The scene outside did not look like an accident at all.
The speed of the railcar had reached 6000 kilometers per hour, which was almost the limit of the railcar.
It seemed that the conductor of the rail car wanted to speed up and escape from the group of demonic beasts.
However, based on the current situation, it seemed to be of no use.
Even though some of the demonic beasts were shaken off, they still followed closely behind the railcar.
They continuously struck the protective shield of the railcar.
The rail car wobbled and sped forward. It seemed as if it would fall off the track at any time.
Knock! Knock!
Long Sheng knocked on the door anxiously.
"Lu Huai, are you alright?"
Lu Huai looked around the room. "This place is completely sealed off. The demonic beasts didn't break in. How could anything happen to me? "
Long Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.
"Including this one, there have been three beast tides as of late. I hope that we can escape safely this time."
On the other hand, Lu Huai was a little worried about Big Black.
Big Black's eyes had never left the glass window ever since the demonic beasts had appeared.
It even stood in front of him as if it wanted to help him block the demonic beasts outside.
But Big Black is just a husky...
Even if it can kill a martial artist ...
It's impossible for it to be able to stop an entire horde of demonic beasts.
"Hey, aren't you the daughter of the Martial Emperor? Do you know what's going on?"
Liao An ran to Lin Xiaomeng's seat and asked in a hurry.
Lin Xiaomeng frowned. "Although I'm the daughter of a Martial Emperor, it doesn't mean that I can predict the appearance of a beast tide.
"Liao An, please calm down."
Lin Xiaomeng's fearlessness in the face of danger provoked Liao An even more.
He was an S-grade talent who had just awakened.
How could he place his life in such danger? If he died here, it would be a huge loss for the alliance!
"Hurry up and contact Martial Emperor Lin for help! What if something happens?!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaomeng looked at Liao An coldly.
"First off, my father is far away in District 10. Even if he were to rush over at his fastest speed, the beast tide would have ended far before he arrived here."
"Secondly, there are special guards on the railcars. Even if there are accidents, there will be people to deal with them."
"Third, under such circumstances, you can't solve the beast tide by asking me for help."
Liao An's face turned unsightly after hearing her series of replies.
Bah!
If you didn't have a Martial Emperor as your father, I wouldn't have asked you to save me.
"Then I hope you can live to see your father," Liao An said sarcastically.
"You!"
Lin Xiaomeng could not help but feel somewhat angry.
What's wrong with this person? He immediately ridiculed me when the conversation wasn't going his way, and now he's like this. Is it because of his S-grade talent that he thinks he's so special?
"What! Screw off!"
Liao An sneered and turned back to his seat.
Although he seemed to have calmed down significantly, he would still look outside with worry and nervousness in his eyes from time to time.
Lin Xiaomeng gritted her teeth and glared at Liao An for a short while.
Then, she calmed down.
She had thought of asking for help from the Lin Family.
However, she knew that Lu Huai was also in the car.
As a gradeless genius recruited by the Heavenly Divine Academy, the Heavenly Divine Academy would definitely send many experts to protect him in secret.
With the super experts of the Heavenly Divine Academy present, she was not worried about the beast tide.
Additionally, according to some information she had acquired, there was also a peak martial venerable super expert on the railcar today.
As such, even if the beast tide today had come prepared, they had nothing to fear.
At this time, the security personnel of the railcar had also taken action.
They were the people with loaded guns that Lu Huai had seen at the transit station.
With the help of the railcar workers, they were able to quickly set up their guns at the doors of the railcar.
Ratatatat!
Ratatatat!
Numerous tongues of flames appeared.
Countless bullets poured out of the muzzles, passing through the protective shield and landing on the demonic beasts outside.
From time to time, some demonic beasts would be struck in their vitals and fall to the ground.
However, it did not take long for new demonic beasts to fearlessly fill the gap of their fallen brethren.
These insignificant deaths were nothing to the demonic beasts!
"The railcar must have moved at least a few hundred kilometers by now." Lu Huai said with a frown.
Long Sheng calculated the time and said, "Yes, that should indeed be the case."
The railcar had already traveled such a long distance.
Logically speaking, the demonic beasts should have long been shaken off.
However, the number of demonic beasts surrounding the railcar was only greater than before.
In fact, there were still more and more of them coming.
This was obviously a premeditated attack.
...
In one of the ordinary cars of the railcar.
A white-haired old man stood up silently.
It was none other than Liu Changqing, the dean of the Heavenly Divine Academy and a peak Martial Venerable!
His face turned serious when he saw the demonic beasts outside the railcar.
These demon beasts were like shadows, following the railcar wherever it went.
It was obvious that the beasts had come prepared.
Liu Changqing's face was extremely gloomy. He took out a special communicator.
"Something is off about the situation here. Requesting for reinforcements."
With Liu Changqing's experience, he could immediately tell that the current situation they were in was not simple.
He was worried that he would not be able to suppress the beast tide by himself.
Therefore, he had to ask for reinforcements!
