Chapter 971 Survivors


    “Boom!”


    The huge black shadow fell from the sky, and when they looked at the black shadow in front of them, everyone was shocked. In front of them, a soldier nearly three meters tall, wearing strange and terrifying heavy armor was staring at them coldly. The skeleton-like helmet was shining with scarlet red and cold light, just looking at it makes people tremble!


    What''s this? Is it a new species of zombies?


    Faced with the terrifying existence in front of him, even the people who were fighting against the zombies before had completely lost their courage. This terrifying warrior seemed to represent the end of everything, as if he was the incarnation of the God of Death. When it came here, they had no idea how to resist...


    “Huh———!”


    In full view of everyone, the huge soldier suddenly waved his war hammer and instantly knocked all the zombies around him away. Seeing the zombies being swept away like baseballs, everyone was even more frightened and could only watch the giant walking towards them and others...


    "Mr. Duanmu, if you continue like this, you will scare them to death."


    Fortunately, just when everyone was at a loss, a voice suddenly appeared, and then everyone saw two girls poking their heads out from the left and right sides of the warrior''s shoulders. When they saw this scene, everyone breathed some relief. Although they didn''t know what this was, at least it seemed that they were not zombies?


    Probably not.


    "May I ask, are you..."


    "We came from the train and saw your signal, so we came here to see the situation."


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai took off his helmet and saw his face, everyone couldn''t help but exclaim again... Fortunately, no matter what, it would be better if it wasn''t a zombie.


    Next, the survivors here also introduced themselves.


    First of all, there was the four-person group. They claimed to have come here from other places for a study trip, but they encountered a zombie outbreak, and in the end they were only four of them survived. This four-person group is one man and three women, namely Takashi Komuro, Ri Miyamoto, Saya Takagi and their leading teacher Shizuka Jukawa.


    In addition, they also rescued a girl named Cialis Alice. According to them, they have been stuck in the mall after avoiding the initial zombie outbreak.


    After that, others joined in one after another.


    Aiden Cradville, who joined later, was a local. He claimed to be a wanderer - the so-called wanderer is the person who walks alone between various human strongholds in this abandoned continent, transporting goods and conveying information.


    In addition, there is Joel and Ellie, who is an uncle and Ellie is a fourteen-year-old girl. Joel didn''t say much about their purpose, but said that he would send Ellie to somewhere, and for some reasons, he had to delay here.


    Well, Duanmu Huai swears in the name of Grandpa Jindaichi that the main task is between them!


    should.


    It''s best if this is the case, don''t make any trouble for me.


    Everyone was somewhat moved by Duanmuhuai''s invitation to board the train. But someone asked a question soon.


    "Although I know that trains are definitely more reliable than cars in terms of operation, but..."


    The girl with a double-pony tail named Saya Takashi reached out and pushed her glasses on her nose.


    "How do you guys plan to resist the Blood Moon?"


    “……Blood Moon?”


    "What is that?"


    "What? Don''t you know?"


    Everyone was shocked when they heard Duanmu Huai''s puzzled answer, but soon, Gao Cheng Shaye explained to them - the so-called Blood Moon is a very special mechanism in this world. Simply put, every seven days, the moon in the sky will turn red. At the same time, those zombies that usually **** like mushrooms will become violent, and even some powerful zombies that are never seen on weekdays will appear. They will sweep the entire city with great momentum and kill everything they see.


    In fact, when the zombie virus broke out at the beginning, human casualties were not particularly heavy. As long as they were gathered together, they could still defeat most zombies. However, the appearance of the Blood Moon gave these survivors a heavy blow, which is why humans suffered such heavy casualties.


    The reason why Aiden and Joel were willing to hide in the mall for the time was because they counted the time and found that the blood moon was coming soon. Continuing to go out and stroll around the streets at this time would be like suicide. Therefore, they thought about waiting here until the blood moon ended and then continuing to set off.


    "Hey, I thought why, that''s all this big deal."


    After listening to Gao Chengshaya''s explanation, Duanmu Huai immediately calmed down and waved his hand violently.


    "Don''t worry, just those zombies are just delivering vegetables!"


    To be honest, looking at Duanmu Huai''s appearance of confidence without reason, everyone was a little uneasy, but no matter what, it was impossible to continue to stay in this city. And from the moment, trains are indeed a good means of transportation compared to ships and planes. Of course, the best one is the plane, but... As of now, it is impossible to find an airplane that can be used.


    Joel and Aiden originally planned to continue moving forward, but now that they have transportation, they certainly will not object. The others also felt that it was meaningless to stay here. So after discussing for a while, they agreed to Duanmuhuai''s invitation and walked towards the station together.


    And on the way, everyone also learned about the origin of Duanmu Huai and others.


    “Judgment?”


    “I have never heard of the organization…”


    “This is normal.”


    Aiden seemed calm.


    "After that disaster, the rest of the people formed various organizations, all of which were called. Of course, as for how these organizations are, it''s hard to say, but to be honest, this is the first one to operate with trains as a stronghold."


    Perhaps because of his professional spirit as a rover, Aiden is very interested in an organization like the Inquisition that relies on trains. This is also normal. In most cases, rovers have to hike from one stronghold to another. In this case, it is easy to encounter dangers and make mistakes. If they cannot find the next stronghold within seven days, they can only expect to find a good shelter, or simply surrender and die outside.


    On the contrary, with trains, transportation through rails is more convenient and freight volume is greater, right?


    After everyone boarded the train, the train continued to set off and headed forward with the sound of whistles.


    "I really didn''t expect that there was such an organization..."


    Sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa, Miyamoto couldn''t help but sigh and stretched. In addition to the front of the train, the entire train is a VIP room, a female carriage, a male carriage, and behind it are a dining car and a freight carriage. Of course, from the outside, this train has not been modified, and it looks no different from an ordinary train. But when everyone boarded the train and watched the dilapidated city go away, they had an indescribable complex emotion in their hearts.


    "I don''t know how the situation in other cities is... I hope we can go smoothly in the future."


    "I don''t think so."


    Aiden shook his head.


    "Most important cities have basically been razed to the ground by nuclear bombs. The city we are in has escaped because of its remoteness, but it may be a different situation in the central city."


    As he said, Aiden touched his backpack. He was going to one of the cities to deliver a letter this time - it was hard to say whether the owner of the letter was still there.


    "I''m more worried about the blood moon two days later than those."


    Looking at the setting sun gradually, Komuro Takashi''s expression became extremely stiff and serious.


    "Although that Mr. Duanmu said it was okay, but... no matter how you look at it, isn''t this just an ordinary train? Is there really no problem?"


    “…………”


    Hearing Komuro Takashi''s inquiry, everyone was silent. They naturally knew how terrible Blood Moon was. You should know that every day of the Blood Moon, they will lock themselves in the playroom of the cinema in the mall, because only there is sound insulation equipment here so that the zombies cannot hear their voices. On Blood Moon Night, the hearing acuity of zombies has increased more than twice, even a slight breathing can be detected, let alone this speeding train.


    Although they didn''t know what would happen on Blood Moon Night, no one wanted to know. After all, on the second day of Blood Moon Night, just looking at the mess outside was enough to make them frightened.


    As for what is in Blood Moon Night, no one wants to see what it is - after all, almost all those who face Blood Moon Night are dead.


    From the map, it will take about two days to reach the next stop based on their current route. I don''t know what will happen by that time. If they were fast, they could find the next human gathering place before the arrival of the Blood Moon. If they were not lucky... that would probably be another matter.


    "I hope that gentleman has a way, instead of taking us to die foolishly - well, no matter what, his armor is really safe."


    Aiden made a joke, and everyone nodded. After all, in this world, what they fear most is being bitten by zombies. If there are armor like Duanmu Huai, you will definitely not be afraid - but it seems that you know that the armor is definitely not something that ordinary people can equip.


    But what everyone didn''t expect was that the part that surprised them was just the beginning.
