Chapter 147 Mark Town
"Boom!"
The black No. 611 train running on the rails gradually slowed down, and the vague shadow of a huge house appeared in the distance.
As we got closer, we saw the spacious train interchange with six tracks extending in all directions, making people dizzy just by looking at it.
There are huge solid wooden pillars on both sides and in the middle of the station as support. The roof is simply built with wooden tiles. There are also square houses on both sides, which looks very funny.
However, due to the blood moon, there were very few employees on both sides of the platform. Only a few employees were cleaning the platforms with brooms and expressionless faces.
When an employee heard the buzzing sound coming from the track, he subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance.
"Yes Yes!"
The platform staff were shocked when they saw the train No. 611 approaching slowly, and even their expressions were distorted.
It was as if I had seen the most ferocious poisonous snakes and evil dragons.
"You must be kidding! Another train is coming!"
After confirming again and again that it was a train, he hurriedly pulled the platform bell and opened all the sound-transmitting speakers in the platform.
"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"
The ringing gradually grew louder, and everyone in the station stopped what they were doing.
"Oh no! Another monster is coming!"
"You must be joking! It just happened not long ago!"
"Everyone, be on emergency alert. Return to your posts and be on standby!"
"Guards, get ready! Load your guns!"
A large number of guards wearing black police uniforms and army green boots quickly ran out from the platforms on both sides, took their positions, and raised their rifles in unison.
And they all pointed their guns at the front of the train.
The expressions on everyone's faces were different, but most of them were filled with fear and worry, and some were even so frightened that they turned pale.
The leading captain suppressed his fear and shouted loudly: "Everyone load your guns, and shoot immediately if you see anything unusual!"
"Roger that!"
The guards spoke in a loud voice, as if to boost morale or to give themselves courage.
But some guards' expressions were still filled with fear, and their palms were sweating.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The guards, who had been on edge, relaxed when Train No. 611 blew its whistle twice. Blowing the whistle once in this location meant food was being resupplied, while blowing it twice meant coal was being resupplied, indicating the other party was on their side.
The captain standing at the front still had a serious expression and did not relax at all because of the information conveyed by the other party.
"Don't put your guns down! It's not too late to put them down until you see the other party's true face!"
"Yes!"
The guards helplessly pointed their guns at the moving train again, but this time there was less fear on their faces, and they even looked a little relaxed.
"Crack! Crack!"
No. 611 drove into the platform very steadily and accurately.
This train with its unique shape and gorgeous curves shocked everyone, and they even began to wonder if it was some royal nobleman coming.
"Crack!"
The black and gold door of the train's front slowly opened, and a puff of white mist and steam came out from inside. Everyone pointed their guns at the door, feeling a little curious.
As the steam gradually dissipated, the soldiers surrounding the front of the vehicle were stunned and didn't even react when their pistols fell to the ground.
The person who came out from the front of the car had a graceful figure, wore a black wizard hat, and had silver hair hanging down to her waist, fluttering in the wind and emitting a faint fragrance.
The face hidden in the shadows fascinated everyone.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts
Even in the garden of God, she is definitely the most beautiful one
One soldier's eyes were filled with fascination. He puffed out his chest and spoke in a bright voice, "You..."
Before he could say anything, he heard the mysterious beauty sigh in a voice as gentle as a lark.
"Oh? This is Mark Town. It's a nice place, and it seems the security is pretty good, right?"
She said the last sentence to the people in the car.
When the guards heard that there was someone else, they felt a little bit expectant, but when they saw that it was a sturdy old man with a white beard, they couldn't suppress the disgust on their faces.
The muscles on his naked upper body and the smoking pipe in his mouth made his value plummet.
"Don't be impatient, let me see first." Horod turned around on the spot, and his eyes as sharp as a jackal slid across the soldiers one by one.
"Are they all just wimps who've never killed anyone?"
After getting a general understanding of the structure here, Horod spoke: "This shabby place has changed a lot. When I first came here, at most there were two railway tracks and three staff members. Now it has been decorated so beautifully..."
"And the level of chaos at the time is self-evident. Bandits from all over wanted to come and rob trains and treasures. It was really a crazy era!"
Listening to Horod's incessant chatter about lime, I felt like my ears were getting calluses, so I quickly interrupted him.
"Okay, okay, I know you understand. We are here to do serious business!"
"Humph, what an unpleasant little girl." Horod was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, then looked at the guards: "You are in charge. Mr. Brando Jace has stored some coal here, and we are here to take it away!"
When they heard the name Brando, everyone present looked at each other, and after exchanging glances, they all chose to shut up.
Only one of the guards reacted immediately and smiled, his tone extremely humble: "You...you two please wait a moment, I will go find the steward right away!"
As he was speaking, an old man in a black tuxedo finally arrived. He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face. After calming his rapid breathing, he spoke:
"This is No. 611. It's so gorgeous! I can't believe how much black iron rock is stuck to its surface!"
The old man kept looking back and forth around Train No. 611, his cloudy eyes full of the spirit of his youth.
"..." Shihui was completely speechless at this moment. She looked at the other party with a cold face and her hands on her hips, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, she stepped on Horod and signaled him to go over and speak.
"You really have no respect for the elderly." Holrod took a few puffs of his cigarette and walked over to the other person. He raised his rough and thick palm and patted the other person on the back.
"You old thing, stop looking around here. We ran all this way here not to let you have a glimpse of our own!"
When they heard the word "escape", all the workers gathered there underwent subtle changes.
Shihui was even more furious and cursed the old man for saying such things for no reason.
The old man in tuxedo pulled his collar and said, "Then let's go inside and talk slowly. After all, it's not often that you come here."
"Okay!" Horod followed him into the house without hesitation. Shihui had no choice but to follow him.
The butler's reception room was very simple, even shabby, with only a table and four sofas, some of which even had holes in them.
This made Shihui start to wonder whether the other party was deliberately playing the victim or was really honest and upright.
After all, if he can hold the position of general manager, then his power will definitely not be small, and it will be easy for him to make some money in this small town.
But the steward was very calm. He personally made a pot of hot tea and served it to the two of them.
"Thank you." Shihui thanked the other party politely, but did not drink the cup of tea.
It's just because the bitter taste inside is really hard for them to accept.
Horod was quite generous and drank the tea in one gulp.
Only the lime didn't even touch the teacup.
"Hahaha, I'm really sorry for the poor hospitality." The steward had no displeasure on his face, and still spoke kindly: "This tea tastes bitter and sweet, and is not suitable for ladies to enjoy. But I don't have scented tea or sweet tea here, so I really can't offer it. And just by looking at the noble appearance of this lady, I know that your status is definitely extraordinary. Please forgive my rudeness."
"It's okay, I just like sweet tastes."
Shihui still looked like an icy beauty, showing no emotion at all because of the other party's humble and humble attitude, but she had already started thinking in her heart.
"Oh, this old fellow has a quick mind and is very observant. He is indeed a cunning fellow!"
"This is a serious problem. It seems I won't be able to get through this stop safely!"
Shi Hui sneered in his heart, but did not show it on the surface. He just sat there like a puppet.
This time she was too lazy to speak again.
"You blockhead, please say something! I'm dying of suffocation just sitting here doing nothing!"
"Ahem!" Seeing that Shihui was unwilling to speak, Horod had to ask himself: "Why do you have so many armed forces here? Has it always been like this?"
As soon as he arrived in Mark Town, he realized something was wrong. After all, it was too strange that a transit station would be equipped with so many weapons.
Horod's words seemed to have touched the steward's sore spot. He raised his hand with a trembling hand to wipe away his tears, saying sadly, "It was so strange at the time. The whole sky turned red and it rained blood. Some people were directly infected and turned into monsters. We lost a lot of manpower and resources before we got the situation under control, but we never imagined..."
"You never thought about anything?!"
"I never expected a monster train to rush into the train station, and a large number of monsters fell out of the carriages. Fortunately, the train was moving at the highest speed and did not stop, otherwise our town would have been wiped out!"
After hearing this, Horod felt something was wrong and asked tentatively, "What about the coal I stored..."
The manager bowed his head deeply and said: "We failed to defend it. The coal was stolen by a gang of bandits and taken to the No. 6 Railway. That is where they gathered."
