Chapter 4 Train

"Huh...so cold."

The snow became heavier at some point, and Feng En couldn't help but rub his palms and vent his anger. Wang Cheng had been buried by him in the mountainous area outside the city, and half of the stone wall in the blacksmith's courtyard was demolished to build a grave.

No one noticed the changes in the blacksmith shop, nor did anyone pay attention to Feng En, who was carrying Wang Cheng on his back to the mountains. At this moment, the crowd was too busy to escape. However, the panic of the crowd did not cause chaos, because the officers and soldiers maintained order, allowing nearly one million people in this small town to evacuate as soon as possible and orderly.

At this moment, Feng En was standing in the team. At the end of the team was a station located fifteen miles away from the west gate of the city. It was very cold around, but the long shed blocked the fallen snow for the people in the team. Behind him, people kept getting off the horse, getting off the car, or filling in the team on foot; except for the occasional crying of young children, the whole team was very quiet.

"Please move forward in an orderly manner and don't panic."

On both sides of the team, the soldiers' commands guided the team forward steadily. At this moment, a small shadow appeared on the horizon in the east, quickly approaching and revealing its full picture-

Dozens of narrow and long cars are connected together, and they are suspended on metal tracks under the streamlined front.

Its arrival made everyone's dim eyes more radiant. Everyone knew that this was a "train" and that it was a hope to escape from this place with them. The train in Feng En's eyes was evenly distributed with white light. He knew that those light balls were all spirits of the instruments.

After becoming a spirit controler, it turns out that you can see so many...

He thought, and turned around and saw that it was his turn to register and get in the car. A middle-aged female official in her thirties across the table had already pushed a stone plate to him: "Please show the jade plaque for the body of the body."

Feng En immediately took out a three-inch long sign from his arms and placed it on the stone plate. He saw a white light on the black stone plate, and a line of text appeared below, which was Feng En's birthday, name and place of residence.

"Okay: Feng En, he is sixteen years old this year, a local. Are you riding a car alone?"

"Yes." Feng En nodded.

"The weapon behind you cannot be brought into the carriage, you can hand it over to us for check-in. You can get it back after the train arrives at the station later." The female official said as she took out the ticket from under the table, "Is it a spirit master?"

"Um?"

Feng En, who took off the light crossbow, looked up at the other party, and shook his head:

"No, no."

"Then, take this to enter the station. On the second platform, follow the carriage written on the ticket to get on the train."

"OK, thanks."

Feng En took the ticket and walked into the station. When he arrived at the platform, he saw a long queue next to the dozen cars on the train, but there was only one person in front of the last car; the man was dressed simply but clean and straight, which was in sharp contrast to the dusty appearance of the refugees.

"That person... should be the Spirit Controller."

This is Feng En's speculation, because there are also teams specially set up for the spirit controlers in the place before entering the station. But this speculation is not important, after all, that is not Feng En's destination: the train has a total of twenty, and what he is going to is the sixteenth carriage.

When I entered the car, I saw that the original passenger carriage was removed from its seats, and the space was full.

"This train is full, and the next train will arrive in a quarter of an hour; please be careful not to be impatient and do not squeeze in the door-"

With the sound of the news outside the door, the train door slowly closed and the carriage gradually lifted upwards. Feng En finally squeezed to a window and heard another sound of the news in the carriage:

"This train is heading to Yingtian, and it is estimated that half an hour and one minute will be left before you reach your destination. Please do not play and play in the train, pay attention to your own safety..."

Yingtian, also known as Nanjing City, is located in the eastern part of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty had to move its capital north to the north due to the arrival of the first black tide, it established the capital Shuntian, which is the current capital, but the establishment of the capital as the capital was still almost completely preserved in Yingtian, including the function of serving as a transportation hub and its ability to defend against black tides.

Because of this, this train from the east was full of people who chose Yingtian as its destination in order to allow people to stay safely under the solid city walls that are not afraid of the dark tide, and to migrate to the western region more conveniently and quickly.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, three large-scale black tides have been experienced, and it was not until the third time, that is, 16 years ago that a basically complete response plan was formed. Nowadays, although people are still inevitably afraid of black tides, under the planned official deployment, the man-made disasters that were previously caused by natural disasters have never repeated.

Therefore, the people in the carriage were very calm, and even occasionally heard the relaxing laughter and joy. The train was running smoothly, and Feng En, who had relaxed, finally had time to open the bag entrusted by Wang Cheng to see the contents inside-

A stack of silver notes with ten taels of denominations, a letter, and a jade plaque.

The three-inch-long jade plaque was the same as the one Feng En had when he entered the station before, which was Wang Cheng's "certificate jade plaque". As a credential for confirming his identity, most people in the Ming Dynasty who registered with their household registration would carry it with them when they went out. Feng En was not surprised that Wang Cheng entrusted it to himself, but the address on the envelope attracted his attention:

"The place I asked me to go was actually a chamber of commerce."

I remember that Wang Cheng said that this address on the envelope can be used as a place for him to settle down. Feng En couldn't help but wonder who would be waiting for him - Wang Cheng's parents, brothers, relatives, or friends?

In the 16 years since he was raised by Wang Cheng, Feng En never heard Wang Cheng talk about his life; he didn't care about it before and did not ask about it, but at the moment when only he could rely on it, this had to become something he considered.

And I was carrying the news of Wang Cheng's death, and when I was facing his relatives...

"Forget it...it's useless to think about it now. I had to buy the ticket in Yingtian before."

It includes the north and south Zhili, namely the capital and Nanjing, and the Ming Dynasty has a total of 32 provinces; among them, Qianzhou is one of the three provinces located in the southwest, and is a long distance from Yingtian. Even if you take the train, you have to take a whole day from morning to night before you can get there.

I hope I will be safe all the way, Feng En thought of putting a few things into the bag and wrapping them again; at the same time, loosening the collar of the clothes.

The air in the car had long been hot due to the crowds. Even the spiritual weapon with flowing air at the top of the car could only be relieved slightly, and the windows were blocked due to the need for high-speed driving. Feng En, who felt uncomfortable, could only focus outside the window to make himself forget the heat on his body—

"Hmm? What is that?"

A flash suddenly outside the window, and Feng En was stunned.

Looking closely, I saw a light and shadow appearing on the window, getting closer and closer, clearly looking like a hand.

behind?!

Feng En turned his head and found a black palm floating in the air. At this time, it was flying in at a very fast speed, and its target was its throat!

"【Xisheng】!"

He summoned the spirit of the mind the moment his neck was strangled, and the next second the black hand was beaten away by Xi Sheng. He saw that the needles covered with metal texture in his palm would definitely die on the spot if he had not turned back just now.

"It's the enemy..."

Feng En, who had no time to think about it, saw the passengers around him who were confused and shouted immediately:

"Go away from it, it's dangerous here, go to other cars!"

When he said that, he saw that hand flew over again. Feng En couldn't care about others. He took advantage of the surprise and pulled himself to the luggage rack above the carriage and quickly climbed towards the connection at the end of the carriage.

At this time, the crowd began to be disturbed by him, which made him unable to find a place to stay for a while; seeing from the corner of his eyes that the hand was already close, Feng En had to turn around to defend the enemy—

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong!

Xisheng punched, and the fist wind blew, and each punch hit the hand, but the black hand flew tirelessly and repeatedly; Feng En was nervous and unexpectedly, Xisheng's punch fell into nothing, and when the hand was about to circumvent his throat, it was blocked by Xisheng's arms.

But the second the next time that hand held Xisheng's forearm, the dark green bamboo armor on the arm had cracks, and Feng En felt dizzy in his head. Although the symptoms were not serious, he knew what this meant:

The mind comes from his body. If the mind is injured, his "mind" will also be damaged; corresponding to the physical realm, the one that is injured is his brain!

"Dong!"

Feng En ordered Xisheng to punch his arm suddenly, and then knocked down the black palm; however, the bamboo armor where Xisheng was grasping was already cracked. If Feng En had not made a quick decision, it would have been completely shattered in the next second.

However, the hand that received Xisheng's punches did not change at all, and even the time it was knocked away was getting shorter and shorter. Seeing that it was close at hand, Feng En turned his head and looked down, turned over and leaped into the chaotic crowd.

"Where is that person...is it near me? Or is it hiding where I don't know?"

While he squeezed away the others, he scanned the surroundings, and at the same time he did not forget to use his keen hearing to detect the abnormalities around him. Soon, he found that not only did he not have any gazes staring at him, but also no sound of surprise or cursing.

Now Feng En is sure that the carriage he is in is only fleeing ordinary people. They will only blame him for squeezing away their actions, but they are all silent while seeing the murderous aura in his eyes.

"If you don't have it here, the enemy will probably be there... I don't care, I can only talk about it now!"

While the plan was quickly formulated in his heart, Feng En noticed that the hand floating in the air was clenched into a fist, and spikes appeared on the back of his hands and fingers, flying straight towards him-

“Get out of here!”

He immediately pushed away the people on the path of the fist and asked Xisheng to block the attack. However, the momentum of this punch was so great that he was affected by himself that he was knocked away half a meter out of thin air.

Seeing this scene, the crowded crowds around them flanked the sides of the carriage and flashed a path; they now knew that what the boy was saying was true, and there was indeed danger here that they could not see.

Feng En quickly got up after falling to the ground. He ran forward without even chasing his black hand behind him.

The battle just now made him guess two things:

First, he determined where the enemy was.

Second, he knew why the black hand could pursue him tirelessly and accurately.

"Wait..."

Feng En kept pushing away the crowd and walking through the carriage:

The enemy is right ahead!
Chapter completed!
