Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Don’t Shoot, Friendly!_1 Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Don’t Shoot, Friendly!_1 [Some corpses that died for unknown reasons might, given the current environment, start to excrete waste due to muscle relaxation in about two hours…]

[Perhaps using some artifacts, such as the “Widow Yukionna,” would be a good choice to delay this process.]

[And upon reaching the station, if everything goes as planned, it might be possible to try sacrificing all the corpses to the “Smiling Mountain of Corpses” as a way to deal with them all at once…]

…

“Tsk, it still has to be the ‘Analytical Lens’…”

Colin pursed his lips, feeling that he finally had a decent solution.

The only downside to the aforementioned method was that it might waste one use of the “Smiling Mountain of Corpses”.

But that wasn’t much of a problem…

Right now, his urgent need for that artifact wasn’t particularly high.

With this in mind, Colin immediately took out the Big Eyeball Ring and summoned the “Yukionna”.

In an instant, the temperature inside the carriage plummeted, and snowflakes fluttered vaguely, as an ice-blue figure appeared and disappeared within the mist of frost, seemingly glaring at him with indignation…

It was evident that she was not in a good mood.

She had been injured because Colin made her confront an Ancient God…

And when Qin Chuan and the others saw the ghostly figure in the frosty mist, they couldn’t help but inhale sharply—so this thing was another of the opponent’s special methods?

Before, they had thought it might be that glowing supporter, not expecting it to be otherwise.

“How many more tricks does this guy have up his sleeve?”

They watched as Colin directed the ice-blue figure to freeze the corpses, and couldn’t help but come up with some thoughts.

But such inquiries wouldn’t garner any answers, even if they asked.

Soon…

After freezing all the corpses and initially solving the problem of decomposition, Colin headed back to his seat.

The train once again fell silent, the atmosphere weighed down considerably by death.

However, Colin couldn’t afford to soothe the psychological issues of the children or anything of the sort; he was also unsettled because the “Father of the Deep Sea” said he could only sit through a maximum of five stations.

With four more stops to come, what kind of places they would be and whether it would be possible to disembark at all were completely uncertain…

Everything was filled with unknowns, which made Colin somewhat irritable.

During the unsettling wait, around five or six more hours passed, and the atmosphere in the carriage grew so tense and solid as to seem like a block of ice, making many feel as though they couldn’t breathe properly.

Yet just then, the sound of a flute abruptly rose again within the train carriage…

Qin Chuan and the others turned deathly pale; with their prior experience, they knew without being reminded that they were about to arrive at another station.

Whether or not they could get off was beside the point; they hoped it wouldn’t be the same situation as before…

Colin held the revolver, watching outside with wary eyes.

Soon, among the thick fog outside the windows, large swathes of dark green came into view for everyone inside.

This place…

Seemed to be a forest…

“Click…”

The train door opened on schedule, and a breath of fresh air surged into the carriage.

Everyone held their breath, staring outside, not daring to exhale.

At first glance, the forest didn’t seem to have any issues, but upon closer inspection, it was eerily empty—a desolate quiet that was somewhat terrifying, showing no sign of life other than the trees.

An indescribably chilling and bizarre atmosphere seemed to seep from the woods into the carriage…

“Didn’t get anything this time either?”

Colin asked as usual, but from the expressions of the few, he felt there probably wasn’t much of a harvest.

“…You think too highly of us,”

Qin Chuan responded with a wry smile. After all, he was only Third Level. He usually dealt with minor incidents such as corpses coming to life in the morgue. Where would he have the qualifications to be involved in these matters?

“Alright then…”

Shaking his head, Colin turned his gaze to Hu Zheng—in his view, this fellow was a walking “Book of Fate: Fragment”.

Seeing his gaze, Hu Zheng understood what he meant.

“I’ll give it a try…”

Having said that, Hu Zheng took out a piece of parchment and looked towards the woods, beginning to exert his power to predict what would happen when they got off the vehicle.

To make a further prediction, he used two pages from the “Book of Fate: Fragment”…

However, just a few seconds into the test, Hu Zheng’s face suddenly went pale with shock, and he showed an expression of extreme terror. His eyes bulged out, and tears of blood flowed.

“There…there…there…”

His lips trembled, seemingly trying to say something in terror, but before he could finish, his legs gave out, and he collapsed.

“Hu Zheng—”

Qin Chuan hurried over to check and then breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to be alive.

What did he see? Colin frowned. As someone who had frequently used the “Book of Fate: Fragment,” he knew that this must have involved looking into forbidden sights through the power of the “Book of Fate: Fragment.”

He walked over and picked up the two pieces of parchment that had fallen from Hu Zheng’s hands…

[You choose to get off at this stop…]

[You walk through the woods and encounter an attack by animated trees. You use your powers to easily defeat the enemy, but the spread of your aura seems to alert something that finds your presence extremely objectionable.]

[You died and became a part of this forest.]

Not much content, just three lines, and it didn’t get to the next chapter…

“It’s not clear what’s hidden, but if I can’t cope and die, it means the threat level is extremely high, likely no less than a First Level Containment Subject,”

Colin hissed. How come it felt like there were high-risk entities everywhere?

How Earth is still so peaceful now is truly rare…

But fortunately, after “sacrificing” an Extraordinary One with the power of Fate Propelling, they received a hint not to disembark.

It was only uncertain whether Hu Zheng could wake up before the next stop.

“There’s no way we can get off at this station, but if he doesn’t wake up by the next stop, it’s going to be harder to make a decision,”

Colin pursed his lips and sat back in his seat, ready to wait for the doors to close and leave.

However, just at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the woods and, with a speed that even Colin didn’t react to, flickered once and then instantly appeared inside the carriage.

The figure that appeared in the carriage was covered with tree branches and numerous wounds, looking very ragged.

“Such incredible speed, no, it seems like instant teleportation?”

As Colin’s thoughts raced, his gun aimed at the intruder in the blink of an eye, with his finger on the trigger, ready to pull at any moment.

But the figure covered in branches had hardly any time to be relieved of escaping certain death, noticed the carriage was nearly full of people, and was momentarily startled—

This was the first time he had seen so many people on this broken train after riding it several times!

However, a sense of crisis burst forth instantly; he turned his head and saw someone with a gun pointing at him.

Caught in shock, he suddenly saw a familiar piece of parchment by the other person’s seat, realized something, and quickly spoke:

“Don’t shoot, I’m one of you!”
