My Doomsday Territory

Chapter 478

Tree Shade, station.

Several trains were parked in the maintenance area.

The outer armor was stained with dried, solidified, and colorful liquid. There were also some pieces of meat stuck in the compartment, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell.

This was already cleaned.

Every night, when the train returned to the shade, the maintenance crew would start to repair the damaged areas on the train.

At the same time, they cleaned the armored train. Some of the demonic beasts that were wrapped in the train had not yet died, and the train guards killed them.

Five days had passed since the Holy Land incident. The number of people who had entered the shade from the Sanctuary Space began to slow down, and the Tree Shade rail line resumed two times a day.

Even so, the train would inevitably be damaged every time. If they did not repair it often, the small damage accumulated would become great damage, which would affect the performance of the train. At the critical moment, it was likely to cause the car to be destroyed and people to die.

No one dared to look down on them. Sometimes, the maintenance continued from the night to the next morning.

At four or five o’clock, the sky was still dark, and the vast wilderness in the distance made people panic.

The Source Light of the train station was bright.

Zhao Ming greeted his comrades on duty at the train station and led the other five members out of the train station. They walked along the railway and crossed the outer area of the city. Their figures were soon submerged in the darkness, only a few spots of light swaying slightly.

The biting cold wind blew past, bringing with it a bone-chilling coldness.

The one with the weakest strength, who was only at the third level of awakening, shivered. He tightly wrapped his coat around him and opened his mouth to breathe out a turbid hot breath.

The expressions of Zhao Ming and the others did not change. They were wearing tight combat suits inside, only a coat. It looked thin, but it was enough for the five people who had already tempered their bodies.

They were the railway maintenance team.

Zhao Ming’s group of five came from the garrison division. They were considered as experts. Their strength ranged from the seventh to ninth layer. If they followed the railway, they would reach a distance of one to two hundred kilometers. Along the way, they would pass through some level three and four dangerous areas. As a result, the strength of the inspection team was relatively high, ensuring that nothing unexpected happened.

The other person was a Hunter from the railroad department, a “professional” of the inspection team.

Within a range of ten kilometers of the territory,

It was basically equivalent to a safe zone.

As the distance grew further and deeper into the areas where the awakened ones were relatively less active, the number of demonic beasts suddenly increased.

Puchi –

Zhao Ming used a single sword to cut the head of the demonic beast, skillfully opening the head to retrieve the Origin Crystal, and then kicking the corpse away from the tracks.

The tactical helmet he wore was like a miner’s hat. It was embedded with Origin Energy lamps that could adjust the power of power, and the light it emitted was not very bright. Not only did it protect the vision of Zhao Ming and the others, but it also did not attract the attention of the demonic beasts too much.

It was not the first time that they had received this mission. Zhao Ming led the way. Two members stood at the two flanks while the other two stood at the back, maintaining a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow.

The professional maintenance personnel rode on a wolf-type puppet and stood in the middle of the team. The flashlight shone on the tracks, and the pieces of meat after the magic beast was crushed by the train could be clearly seen.

As time passed, rays of light began to appear on the horizon.

There was a loud bang ahead, and an earth wall appeared in their field of vision.

This was an outpost in the middle of construction. It was close to the rail route. After it was built, it could be used for the Awakened ones to stay and replenish their supplies. It would be better for them to clean up the surrounding demonic beasts. In the future, they could build the “Tree Shade Defense Field”. This outpost could also be changed into a transit station and continue to play its role.

After passing the outpost, the journey was about half over.

Zhao Ming and the others advanced while calculating the time.

Demonic beasts generally did not attack the tracks. However, it was inevitable for them to be a little angry and roll over. At this time, they needed to stop the maintenance. Fortunately, with the experience they had before the apocalypse, along with some common spells developed by the “Spell Research Institute” and the corresponding tools, most small problems could be easily solved.

“Captain Zhao, there’s something wrong with the tracks ahead.”

The maintenance staff who had been staring at them immediately noticed the problem.

The few of them walked forward for more than ten meters and arrived at the problem area. They saw that the tracks had been broken. The broken tracks were not flat and were more than a meter in length and width.

It could be considered a serious problem.

Today, the train on this line will have to be delayed.

Zhao Ming frowned. He took out the Spirit Communication Crystal and reported the situation to the shelter. He sighed in his heart that his morning vacation would be ruined. He had to focus on observing the broken tracks.

This crack does not look like it was bitten off by a demonic beast. It is not a sign of trampling or claws. Instead, it seems to have been torn off by a huge force.

He thought and looked around warily.

The tracks had seeped into a special metal. Its hardness and toughness had reached the level of a D -grade alloy. It was not difficult to destroy it, but if it were to be torn apart… Zhao Ming did not know if he had such strength.

But then he felt that something was wrong.

If it was pulled by a great force, the tracks on both sides of the broken belt should be scattered in a serpentine manner. In fact, the crosswood beneath the tracks was still intact. The only part that was broken was the crosswood and gravel that were a little scattered.

It caused Zhao Ming Du to become confused.

…

This matter was first reported to the Iron Department.

After a round of inspection, it was reported to the municipal department. After Chen Haiping learned about it, it reached Tang Yu’s ears.

Tree Shade official found the broken tracks. There were three places in total.

It looked similar.

However, it wasn’t just this line. Similar situations also occurred in the other routes. Even the most secure Tree Shade line. Logically speaking, the number of demonic beasts active in this area was extremely few. The two or three cracks in the surrounding area had already been suppressed.

However, there was still a crack that appeared.

He had no choice but to pay attention to it.

One of the broken rail was located within the territory.

Tang Yu studied it carefully and soon had a guess. “The land under our feet is constantly expanding, so… the tracks were torn apart?”

In other words, the earth expanded?

The Origin Star at its peak was extremely large. Tang Yu had studied it before and believed that part of the space had been folded up and contracted due to the silence. Now, as the Origin Qi revived, the Origin Star gradually became closer to the past.

It should be considered a good thing.

As the Holy City opened that day, the concentration of Origin Qi on Earth increased by another level.

If the Origin Energy concentration of an ordinary planet was 1, then when the apocalypse first erupted, the Origin Energy concentration would be around 2.5. It would continue to grow until it reached 7 or 8. In the past few days, it had reached 11 or 12.

The spirits that had been sleeping before would gradually wake up.

Tang Yu had already locked onto some places where the spirits might appear. From time to time, he would send the Survey Corps to take a look around, hoping to catch one or two more spirits and take them to the territory.

Some rare materials could gradually appear on Earth in the future.

…

The train was delayed until eleven o’clock and finally started.

The impact was not big.

Different from a few days ago, the train was no longer as crowded as canned sardines. Those who took the train to other places were mostly experienced adventurers who had received their commissions. On the contrary, the awakened ones who had just arrived in the shade had been holed up in the shelter and did not go out.

They all had a lot of Source Crystals in their pockets and were equipped with runic equipment. They went to the dojo to listen to public lessons and entered the training camp to cultivate and fight… They were happy and never tired of it. They felt that they were getting stronger every day.

Maybe when they had emptied their pockets and their strength had increased, they had reached a bottleneck and entered the money-making mode… and then they were harvested again.

But they were also happy.
