Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Leaving “The Seventh Box Garden World”._1 Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Leaving “The Seventh Box Garden World”._1 “Drip, drip, drip!”

Abruptly, a series of urgent beeping sounds emerged from the chimney outside the carriage, followed by puffs of thick gray fog, and then a slow-motion view outside the train started to come alive.

“Clang—bang—, clang—bang, clang-bang, clang-clang-clang…”

The sound of the wheels turning underneath became faster and faster until it was a continuous noise…

The train had officially started!

At this moment, Colin’s heart jolted. He turned his head to look through the train window and saw a long-haired female figure facing a wall next to an unremarkable building by the coast, a figure that hadn’t been there before.

As soon as Colin laid eyes on her, a strange crying sound reached his ears…

Colin couldn’t help but blink, and suddenly he realized her figure had disappeared and reappeared closer to the train.

Still facing the wall, her face was unseen.

But before he could act, a barrage of artillery swallowed up the area in an instant…

“Abomination! I won’t let you get close!” a roar came from afar.

A group of over three-meter-tall individuals equipped with various special gear, resembling “tyrants,” charged towards her and engaged in battle directly.

However, this was not the end.

Colin then saw a peculiar bathtub floating towards the sea. It was filled with dense blood. As the bathtub neared a certain distance, a multitude of grotesque and pale hands reached out from the blood toward the moving train.

They weren’t trying to stop it; they just wanted to catch a ride on the train.

But just as they started to reach out, Colin saw a horrifying force field descend from the sky, blocking the hands. On a nearby battleship, several members of the “Dawn’s Light Foundation” with golden masks were exerting their power…

A large-caliber machine gun started to make a mechanical whirring sound; then its barrel rotated, and in an instant, gunfire covered the bathtub…

Not only there, the starting of the train seemed like a signal, and explosions erupted everywhere.

An entity as tall as a dozen-story building moved under intense bombardment…

A group of glowing leech-like creatures that could fly in the sky without wings or fleshy appendages…

A series of twisted, rapidly moving figures…

…

Ferocious battles broke out in almost every direction, and within moments of engagement, some areas already suffered heavy casualties among the deployed troops.

And more things were coming from all around…

Even the train itself seemed to be struggling against something, as its speed could not increase and it felt difficult to move…

“Hmph.”

Suddenly, Colin saw a finger from one of the blood-filled bathtub hands penetrade the gray fog and the force field and grasp onto the train’s front window—

It was actually the first anomaly to break through the cordon and latch onto the “train”!

At that moment, it clung to the train window and tried to pry it open to stretch its body inside…

From the aura that emanated there, Colin could feel that its strength was not weak, much stronger than that of the “Deep Sea Messenger.”

The window was pried open just a crack…

“Good, since you’re trying so hard, I’ll give you a shot.”

Seeing this, Colin wasn’t worried. Instead, he calmly took out a black bone spur full of cracks and approached the window. Like a royal caretaker, he plunged it into the hand that was clinging tightly and had already opened a tiny gap.

Instantly, the palm trembled, let out a strange scream, and retracted. Then it was forcefully suppressed by the people of the “Dawn’s Light Foundation,” losing its chance to board the train.

But no sooner had he completed this step did Colin’s heart suddenly sink, feeling as if the whole earth had shifted.

Then, he saw a giant hole at least a hundred meters in diameter suddenly appear on the shore. Numerous armed personnel, combat vehicles, and more were flattened by some force and lay dead in the pit.

Even some anomalies, such as the “woman” who incessantly faced the wall and cried, were crushed to death.

“What is that thing?”

Colin was horrified, then his expression flickered, and an image surfaced in his mind—a vast shadow had appeared on the shore, incomprehensibly large. It looked human, but it was only the lower half of a body.

It seemed the giant hole was merely something it had casually stepped into place.

Even he could feel that this creature had no malice toward those it trampled to death, nor did it have any other emotions; it was like how an ordinary person would feel after accidentally stepping on a few ants—there wouldn’t be much emotion…

The monster seemed to possess the ability to become invisible; the vast majority of people did not notice its arrival and were directly crushed to death.

“Twilight’s Children, no, the lower half of the Twilight Angel?!”

Colin gasped when he saw the thing’s form, which immediately sparked an association in his mind.

It was clear that this creature’s power was beyond his ability to cope…

Fortunately, however, after this lower half appeared by the coast, it did not make any further moves, seemingly just “curiously” watching the train move.

At that moment, in his mind, Colin felt the lower half suddenly lift a foot and walk in another direction.

As its foot came down, a footprint appeared in a distant place that was invisible to the naked eye.

One after another, it quickly left the area.

And less than ten seconds after it left, a twilight luster appeared from afar and fell upon this place…

In the dusk, one could see a giant with the light of Twilight above its head, reaching from the heavens to the earth, supporting the land with both hands, moving step by step towards them.

Perhaps in just ten minutes, it would arrive here.

Weakness, weariness, and fatigue descended equally upon everyone…

However, the situation at the scene did not improve with Its appearance; on the contrary, it became even more intense.

A multitude of strange-shaped creatures were trying to board the train in the last moment.

Most of the out-of-control Containment Subjects coming from the land were valiantly held off by the personnel from the two shelters, with deafening gunfire echoing around, the bombardment incessant…

After this battle, the two shelters would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses, and they might even face extinction.

But as long as Colin could successfully escape, all sacrifices would be worth it.

“As long as that lower half doesn’t come this way, the land should be stable, but could there really be nothing in the sea?”

Colin withdrew his gaze, “Mist Train No. 7” ran on the sea, and compared to the land, it really wasn’t easy to defend against something coming from the sea.

Just why, until now, there didn’t seem to be too much emerging from the sea.

However, just as the thought arose, his expression changed.

“I really shouldn’t have tempted fate, even in my heart…”

In the deep navy blue, almost black sea water in front of him, illuminated by the light of Twilight, masses of blood-red, coral-branch-like objects spread toward them. These things were covered in fine fuzz and spewed a large number of spores, aiming to cling to the train.

Even if the people on the battleships detected it in time and opened fire towards this area, it was still impossible to eliminate them all…

“Fiery Embrace!”

Colin’s flames erupted, surging around the exterior of the train, covering the entire front of the train in flames, ready to engage in combat.

But just then, from the depths of the sea, several enormous figures rushed up rapidly, their bodies crackling with electricity, bringing ocean currents whirling, shredding all of the coral branches to pieces.

And from within that frenzy, one could vaguely see them attacking other these casual-looking things below the sea surface.

Even further off, the silhouettes of a vast number of Fishmen surged forward…

As they arrived, suddenly a thick layer of Dark Cloud appeared on the sea surface, with lightning flashing and thunder booming, heavy rain pouring down, and occasionally, lightning struck, seeming to hit something.

“‘Deep Sea Messenger’…”

Colin murmured to himself, knowing this must be the arrangement of the “Father of the Sea.” If not for Him, these creatures would never have come to help them escape even if it was the end of the world.

No, to be more precise, the reason nothing dangerous had appeared at sea until now was mostly due to their covert efforts…

Finally, with the efforts of countless people, the train’s speed increased more and more.

Outside the windows, the mist grew thicker, until it covered everything outside completely, at which point all restrictions on the train disappeared, and everything was left behind…

It seemed that the carriage had finally calmed down as well.

But before Colin could catch his breath, suddenly a cry of alarm came from the first carriage.
