Open the Door

The situation outside the railcar was very grim.

The passengers inside the railcar were also very uneasy.

The crew of the railcar ran back and forth, repeating a few words.

"All passengers, please do not worry."

"The protective array of our railcar is very formidable."

"These demonic beasts won't be able to break through the protective shield."

"In such a serious situation, the alliance will definitely send people to save us. Everyone, please calm down."

"..."

Lu Huai was in first class, and the atmosphere here was almost frozen solid.

Those who sat in first class were all people of status.

No matter how they might seem at times, they were all still people with a lot of experience.

They could tell at a glance that the current situation was not optimistic.

Liao An was shouting restlessly, causing a commotion among the other passengers.

"Don't f*cking lie to us! Don't think that I can't tell that the protective shield is about to shatter!"

"I don't want to die yet!"

"Waaah, is anyone coming to save us...?"

Liao An could clearly feel that the speed of the railcar was getting slower and slower.

The railcar was probably going to completely stop soon.

Realizing this, he thought about what would happen if the railcar did stop.

Even he, a genius who had awakened an S-grade talent, could not help but cry out loud.

Lu Huai frowned.

He could see from afar that Liu Changqing was in the middle of fighting against two demonic venerables and that it would be difficult for him to extricate himself from the battle anytime soon.

Let alone coming back to provide assistance to those in the railcar, he might not even be able to escape from the battle.

This can't go on...

Lu Huai was not anxious. Instead, he looked at the demonic beasts outside the window calmly.

"Lu Huai, let's find a safe place to hide first. Your safety is of utmost importance!"

Long Sheng quickly pulled Lu Huai's arm, wanting to take him away from this place.

However, Lu Huai suddenly let out a soft sound of resistance and shook off Long Sheng's hand. Then, he looked out the window.

In his field of vision, a few hunchbacked elderly rushed out of the railcar.

All sorts of lights burst out from these elderly people.

They stood stably on the edge of the railcar outside as if they were standing on flat ground.

Afterward, they pulled out all kinds of weapons, seemingly from nowhere.

The weapons shone with a bright radiance as they ruthlessly launched martial skills one after the other.

The heads of countless demonic beasts were mercilessly chopped off.

Between the glints of the blades and the shadows of the swords; it was as if an invisible net had been woven!

At the rear end of the stopped railcar, a sound similar to glass shattering rang out!

The protective shield had shattered.

The group of elderly quickly spread out around the railcar, the weapons in their hands still dancing in the air.

They did their best to stop the demonic beasts that were trying to get close to the rail car.

But things were starting to look worse and worse.

After all, these demonic beasts were not some brainless rabble. They were cunning and agile, and they managed to slowly but surely leave scars on the old people's bodies.

Some of the wounds were so deep that their bones were already exposed to the air while blood gushed out!

It was a shocking sight!

However, these elderly seemed to feel no pain.

All of their faces remained stone cold as they released their martial skills in unison to block the attacks of the demonic beasts.

As they exhibited their martial skills, no demonic beast could escape from death.

However, there were also a few of the elderly who ultimately fell to the ground and became food for the demonic beasts.

"Who are they?"

Lu Huai was shocked by this scene.

The fearlessness of these elderly people touched his heart.

Lu Huai could clearly feel the blood and qi released by these elderly.

Most of them were martial warriors and martial masters.

However, with their precise coordination, they were able to create a forbidden zone that no demonic beast could get through.

Long Sheng's hand, which had been flung away, stopped in mid-air as he looked out of the window.

"Veterans."

"They are veterans who have retired from the alliance's military."

Even Long Sheng felt his nose turn sour at the sight of the veterans doing their best to protect the railcar.

These old soldiers were all ordinary people who had narrowly escaped death on the demonic beast battlefield.

Among these old people, perhaps there was one who would normally be selling vegetables along the street, an auntie who loved wandering around, or a grandpa who loved fishing.

However, most of these veterans were not willing to remain ordinary.

When the alliance needed their help, they stood up to the task without hesitation.

Even if the price they had to pay was their very own life!

They were not afraid.

They lived to protect their home.

This time, they were the ones who had secretly accepted the mission of escorting Lu Huai.

If this mission was successfully completed, they would return to Anyang City to continue enjoying their old age.

However, if an accident like the one currently taking place happened ...

They would stand up and use their own flesh and blood to protect the next generation.

"Aren't they afraid of death?"

Liao An looked at this scene in a daze and even stopped crying.

Lin Xiaomeng's eyes were filled with tears as she watched the veterans fall one by one outside the window.

"With them here, we'll definitely be able to survive..."

"Uncle! That's my uncle!"

Liao An suddenly exclaimed.

Outside the window, a burly old man had just killed a demonic beast when he was suddenly surrounded and overwhelmed by a few demonic beasts.

In an instant, his body was reduced to piles of flesh and blood.

There was not even an intact corpse left of him.

Lin Xiaomeng clenched the phone in her hand tightly.

She had sent a message to her father asking for help ten minutes ago, but her father had not come.

If this continued, more and more people would die from the beast tide!

"Let's go out and help!"

"Yeah! We can't just stay here and wait for death! It's better to go out and fight!"

"Attendant, please open the door for us!"

One by one, the youths stood up with heroic expressions on their faces.

At this moment, they did not fear death.

If they continued to do nothing, they knew their conscience would be unsettled.

"Nonsense!"

An old man in a wheelchair cursed, "Are you not going to just end up dying if you go out?"

"Just based on the fact that you new recruits have never even been on the demonic beast battlefield, you'd all die without even being able to use any martial skills if you were to go out!"

"You lot would just be sending yourselves to your deaths!"

As he spoke, the old man coughed violently, then glared at the group of youths.

"All of you, sit down and behave!"

"Don't let our efforts and our lives go to waste!"

To everyone's shock, the old man pushed the wheelchair to the door of the railcar.

"Open the door, I can still fight!"

The attendant wiped the tears off her face in a panic. "Old grandpa, you can't go out! How are you going to fight like this!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across the old man's face. "Even if I die, I want to die on the battlefield!"

The entire car burst into an uproar when they heard his words.

Only Lu Huai's side was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

His expression was very calm, but at this time, the blood in his heart was boiling.

Lu Huai's heart was filled with killing intent towards the bloodthirsty demonic beasts.

Perhaps he had been influenced by his martial arts memories, or perhaps it was just his own realization, but he was not willing to just sit where he was and wait.

So what if he did not have an awakened talent?

An SSS-grade body tempering art was not to be trifled with!

"Lu Huai!"

"Lu Huai, where are you going? Stop!"

Out of the corner of his eye, Long Sheng suddenly saw Lu Huai walking straight out of the private room.

Big Black followed him quietly.

"Lu Huai, what are you going to do?"

Lin Xiaomeng quickly stood up and stopped Lu Huai. "It's dangerous to walk around at this time!"

Lu Huai ignored them. He shook off Long Sheng's hand several times and came to the entrance of the railcar.

He went to the old man in the wheelchair.

"Help him back to rest."

"Open the door."

The entire railcar fell silent.

It was as if thunder had suddenly erupted in spring; everyone was absolutely shocked.
