Chapter 732: Chapter 292: Obstacle-Clearing Train (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_1

“`

This was a gigantic black train clad in steel armor, equipped with sharp tools, and even had cannons on the top.

It was clearly visible that the body of the train was adorned with fragments of zombie remains.

Its front was fitted with a huge steel plow, which seemed like it could easily push aside any obstacle in its path.

“This is the train they rode on! No wonder they could make it here!”

Upon seeing the train, Wang Tao and the others were all extremely astonished.

If this thing charged into a horde of zombies, it could probably instantly crush countless numbers of them!

Beside the train was a fully armed team, some of whom were outfitted with Powered Armor. They had cleared all the zombies around the train and used barriers to block the advancing horde, temporarily preventing zombies from getting through.

As the group arrived, the massive steel doors of the carriages immediately opened.

Duan Xuchang approached Wang Tao and the others to explain:

“This is our obstacle-clearing train, as its name implies, it can clear obstacles from the tracks as it moves. However, not all obstacles can be cleared. We sent a Wu Zhi ahead to scout our route before we came. That is why our speed was slower; we spent most of the time planning our route and clearing obstacles. Our return will be much easier because we’ll follow the path we’ve already taken. Of course, airplanes will continue to scout ahead to ensure our safe return!”

“I see, that’s really impressive!”@@novelbin@@

Wang Tao praised sincerely.

His anticipation for Changhe City Base grew even more.

“Board the train!”

Duan Xuchang called out, and the soldiers began leading the survivors aboard.

The obstacle-clearing train was much larger and longer than an Ordinary train.

With the inclusion of two locomotives, this train totalled thirty carriages.

Tanks, armored fighting vehicles, military trucks, and all kinds of Weapons and ammunition only occupied five carriages. The remaining twenty-three carriages were all designed for carrying people!

The passenger carriages had three levels, each capable of fitting in over three hundred people, allowing for a full load of one thousand people per carriage!

This capacity was terrifying, given that an Ordinary train has a seating capacity of about a hundred people, with standing tickets reaching at most two or three hundred people. The comparison was incomparable to these carriages that can seat a thousand.

Thus, even with twenty thousand survivors, this obstacle-clearing train could pull them all.

Of course, with so many survivors packed together, the riding experience would certainly not be comfortable. Yet nobody complained about this, as just being alive was fortunate enough, and they were very content.

The passenger carriages had three doors each, two small ones at the front and back, and a particularly large one in the middle. This door was for the convenience of survivors in special situations. Even so, boarding the train with over twenty thousand people still took a considerable amount of time.

The zombies outside had already launched several assaults, but fortunately, they were all repelled by the military’s heavy firepower.

Only after all the survivors were aboard did the tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and other vehicles drive into the train. He Jijun’s helicopter also landed on the train, as there was a designated place for it.

The top of the train was also equipped with many grenade launchers, which provided cover while the tanks entered the train, blocking a large number of zombies.

After the personnel and vehicles had successfully boarded, the remaining soldiers and Powered Armor began to board the train.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me to carriage number two,”

Duan Xuchang invited.

“Can it come too?”

Wang Tao asked, referring to Lightning who had been following him around.

“Of course,”

Duan Xuchang nodded. In fact, he was quite intrigued by Lightning, the military dog that resembled a calf, and was planning to ask Wang Tao later about the training methods.

Duan Xuchang led Wang Tao and the others into the first carriage behind the locomotive, carriage number two.

Rumble rumble—

The train started moving, then gradually picked up speed.

As the firepower weakened, the zombie tide finally broke through the temporary barriers and reached the sides of the train.

But the train was tightly covered in steel plates all around, and the few pieces of glass were all bulletproof, leaving the zombies without any means of intrusion. Moreover, there were many sharp blades on the body of the train, so when the train picked up some speed, countless zombies were seen being dismembered and beheaded!

Inside carriage number two.

Watching the desolate, dilapidated scenery slowly recede, and one zombie after another being shredded by the cutters on the outside of the train, the mood of Wang Tao and his companions was somewhat complex.

“Comrades, do you need food? The specialty cuisine from Changhe Base.”

Duan Xuchang, who had removed his Powered Armor, asked with a smile.

After returning to the train, Duan Xuchang was noticeably more relaxed.

As soon as Wang Tao nodded, Lan Yulian immediately raised her hand.

“Needed!”

“Alright, please wait a moment.”

Carriage number two was where most of the soldiers from the military team were located, along with similar setups in carriages three, twenty-eight, and twenty-nine—that is, the two carriages closest to each locomotive.

Of course, there were also soldiers stationed in the other carriages, reporting their respective carriage’s status at regular intervals to prevent any problems.

Carriage number two was naturally not as crowded as the other carriages housing the survivors, as it had restrooms and a hall, which was furnished with an array of weapons, food, and a few sets of Powered Armor.

The specialty cuisine Duan Xuchang was referring to was a blackish chunky food, somewhat reminiscent of guilinggao.

“What is this? Jelly?”

Ding Yuqin asked with some curiosity, looking at the food inside the stainless steel lunchbox.

“It’s a protein block, it actually tastes not bad. Though I think you may not really want to know how it’s made.”
