Chapter 357: Living with the Mist

Chapter 357: Accompanied by the fog...

The train was moving slowly and steadily in the dense forest. Every thirty seconds, a series of crisp clanging sounds came from under the carriage, which was the sound of the wheels rolling over the rail joints. Experienced people can judge that the speed of the train is basically maintained at 20 kilometers per hour just by listening to these monotonous road noises.

"Ah... It's foggy." Cui Zhenen suddenly stuck her head out of the window and said.

Zhang Zhiyuan and others looked in the direction of the sound, and the thousands of branches in the forest became obviously hazy, as if a layer of indissoluble water vapor filled the air.

This was the third day after they set off. If the distance was not estimated wrong, the train would be able to enter the Acropolis before nightfall today.

The first two days were calm. Except for stopping to rest at night, they hardly encountered too many obstacles. First of all, this train not only stored a lot of food, but also installed a lot of rapid-fire weapons. The collective beasts in the jungle had no way to deal with them. In addition, there is a simple hoisting device on the front part of the train, which can be used to replace damaged rails. As long as the train can move, they are equivalent to being in a mobile fortress.

"I heard that there are terrible monsters lurking in the fog. I hope they will not be scared away by the train." Anthony wiped the classic AK in his hand, as if he was caressing a beloved woman.

"Compared to monsters, I am more worried about cults." Zhou Zhi touched his neck. He didn't want to experience the scene of facing the cult envoy on the tourist boat again. Even if he knew that he would not really die, the memory that his head flew into the sky and his consciousness still retained was far from being easily forgotten like pain. "Mr. Chao said that the reason why this place was swallowed by the fog was because of the evil cult."

"That was fifteen years ago. Even if there was, they would probably have died long ago." Anthony said disapprovingly.

"It feels like a ghost story, and we are the classic fools who know there is a ghost but still want to go in." Zhang Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Elodie who was sitting in a corner of the car, "Hey, are you sure Mr. Chao has no more information to provide?"

"Hmm..." Elodie looked thoughtful, as if she didn't hear his question.

What's going on?

She used to be full of energy.

Zhang Zhiyuan moved towards her, listened attentively, and found that she kept muttering a few words.

"Where did the magic goddess come from?"

"It's so young, it's not legal, right?"

"You can't go the wrong way."

Uh...

No, why can't I understand a word? Zhang Zhiyuan scratched his head.

"What do you think of the scenery here? Is it like returning to your own home?" Zhou Zhi half-jokingly said, hooking his arm around Resk's neck. Most of the time, Resk stayed on the earth side with Lovisia, providing a time anchor for the paradise world. After Zhou Zhi learned this, he took the initiative to act as a liaison to help them get familiar with their hometown life. After a few months of getting along, the relationship between the two was like that of friends.

"Although I am a believer of the Hidden Mist Church, I will not live in the fog area for a long time, okay?" Resk curled his lips, "To be more precise, except for praying to my Lord, I will not go deep into the fog. Those monsters hidden in the fog will not spare your life just because you are a believer."

"Really? We felt quite safe when we went to the Gray Hill Mine last time. Except for the obstruction of vision, this fog is not that scary."

"Naive." Anthony snorted, "Just look at the armored trains of Gaotian Company and you will know. It doesn't take such high-end equipment to suppress miners and slaves. If I am not mistaken, Gaotian Company should have suffered a lot on those transportation lines."

"I heard from Mr. Chao that the God of Hidden Mist may show up because of our actions. If the two sides fight, it should be the final BOSS." Zhou Zhi changed the subject.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about." Zhang Zhiyuan quickly stopped him, "Religious belief is free, don't make irresponsible comments on other people's beliefs."

Resk waved his hand, "It's okay, I know he has no ill intentions. After all, your world does not exist..." He closed his mouth again halfway through.

"What's wrong?"

Resk smiled unnaturally, "No... nothing." Why can a world that can feel the breath of many evil gods still exist stably? He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"If the God of Hidden Mist approaches us, can you feel it?" Asahara Naruko asked curiously.

"Of course." Resk took out the Mist Horn and placed it in his palm, "This is the mark given to me by my Lord. Whenever it casts its eyes on me, the horn will rotate. Although this situation has not occurred for many years..."

Before he finished speaking, the horn suddenly deviated slightly by a few degrees.

The carriage suddenly fell silent.

"Uh... Did I see it wrong just now?" Zhou Zhi blinked after a long while.

"I just took it out, maybe I didn't hold it tightly." Cui Zhenen coughed twice, "Don't do this... It's scary if you don't talk."

At this moment, the horn turned half a circle again.

Now everyone saw it!

"Resk?"

"Strange..." Resk was also a little stunned. He closed his eyes and murmured, "My Lord... is it you? No, there is no response. Wait, the fog is crying, what are those things... they are running in a row in the forest. A moving... train?"

"Ah, are you looking at a bird? A bird is flying over!" Choi Jung-eun shouted at this time.

A snow-white bird flew down to the top of a tree beside the railway track, tilting its head to look at the steel giant. She stretched out her hand and waved at the bird, and unexpectedly, the white bird landed directly on her arm.

"You're pretty good. I said, do you have any food? Melon seeds, bread, etc. - ah ah ah -!"

Before Choi Jung-eun finished her words, she suddenly screamed!

The shrill voice scared everyone!

Anthony reacted the fastest. He grabbed Choi Jung-eun's collar and dragged her back into the car. The bird was also brought back and flapped its wings violently on the floor. At this time, everyone realized that the bird was quite large, almost the same as a bald eagle, but its legs were very slender, like a crane.

He pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the bird's back, stopping it from struggling, and then separated the bird from the person.

Then everyone took a breath of cold air.

Half of Choi Jung-eun's face was gone, with deep bite marks on the edge of her skull, and only a deep eye socket left at her eyes.

"Please, please..."

She moaned in a low voice.

Anthony stabbed her without hesitation, killing her completely.

"What the hell is this bird?" Zhou Zhi looked at the motionless white bird on the ground, his face a little blue.

No wonder he was like that, the head of this big bird turned out to be a human skull! It was about the size of a fist, and there was still Choi Jung-eun's flesh and blood between its wide teeth.

However, more flapping wings came from outside the window.

Zhang Zhiyuan approached the window and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "Fuck."

In the foggy forest, countless white birds were moving in groups, passing over the treetops like dark clouds, swooping towards the train!
