301: Save people

"Only five teams in the entire World?"

Hearing this, Xu Feng realized that this woman's identity might be more noble than he had thought: "You didn't bring this specifically for me, did you?"

"Each severely affected area needs at least one powerful Human individual to guard it. M City doesn't have Evolutionaries, so I brought this thing with me."

"Then you're giving this to me?" Understanding that this was something the entire M City needed, Xu Feng didn't rashly accept it.

He was also surprised in his heart that M City had become a severely affected area!

"It's important to stay alive. If you inject this, the chance of me escaping can increase by 20% to 26%," Nangong Shushuang said frankly.

She calculated the survival rate, but he didn't know how.

The woman handed the Evolution Potion to Xu Feng.

"You can choose to inject it now. The evolutionary transformation only takes a few seconds."

Taking the item, Xu Feng opened the System interface.

The specific data of the item appeared before his eyes.

Item: Evolution Potion

Description: An imperfect potion that can bring a power boost to the Host, but the side effect of this potion will change the Host's genes, preventing the Host from having offspring.

After reading the System's complete introduction, Xu Feng frowned and said, "You didn't tell me about the side effects of this thing."

Nangong Shushuang: "It will cause sterility."

"You think it's insignificant?!" Hearing the woman's calm words, Xu Feng raised his head.

The woman nodded slightly: "After a few more months, you will understand that offspring are just a burden."

"Of course, the premise is that you live until then."

Xu Feng silently put the item into his backpack: "At least I don't understand now."

Hearing this, Nangong Shushuang slightly furrowed her brows for the first time, showing a change in expression: "Since its successful development, you are the first person to refuse to inject this potion."

"I refuse to inject it, but I accepted it."

Slowly getting up and looking at the entire carriage: "Since we're leaving, let's have everyone on the bullet train leave together."

"Of course we need to leave together. Using the lives of the others on the bullet train to attract the attention of the things underground, our chance of leaving can increase by several percentage points."

Nangong Shushuang crossed her arms.

Xu Feng stumbled: "Literally, I mean to have everyone leave alive!"

"That's impossible," the woman closed her briefcase again: "You actually only need to take me and the two burdens next to you and leave."

"The others on the train have nothing to do with you. You have no obligation or responsibility to put yourself in danger to save them."

"Who are the burdens...?" Xu Yu said softly, unconvinced.

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, seemingly showing her advantage over Nangong Shushuang.

"This is my mission," Xu Feng's lips curved slightly as he looked at the triggered System mission before him.

Mission: Save People

Success: Reward one two-star Character Summon Card, one Primary Savior Medal

Failure: No penalty

Description: 1032 people on the bullet train are in danger. Please have the Host help at least 800 of them escape this dangerous place.

"Even with the Evolution Potion injected, hope is slim. Your current strength makes it absolutely impossible," disappointment was evident in Nangong Shushuang's eyes: "I thought you were a very intelligent person to be able to grow to a level close to an Evolutionary in such a short time."

"Trying to hit a rock with an egg is something only a fool would do!"

"Do you believe me if I say I am the Savior?" Xu Feng said with a playful tone.

"I only see a person who overestimates himself," shaking her head calmly, Nangong Shushuang could be said to be a straightforward woman.

"Da da da ~"

A series of footsteps appeared in the carriage, coming from far to near.

Under the gaze of many people in the carriage, the train conductor, accompanied by a few attendants, rushed to Nangong Shushuang's side in a hurry.

"Are you Dr. Nangong Shushuang?!" the train conductor asked respectfully.

The woman nodded slightly.

"Dr. Nangong, please come with us to the front carriage. All of our bullet train's Security personnel are there, and they can definitely guarantee your safety!"

The woman did not respond to the train conductor.

She knew very well that Xu Feng was the person on this train who could best guarantee her safety.

Looking at Xu Feng: "What are you planning to do?"

Xu Feng: "You said it yourself, this train will completely fall into the abyss in about twenty minutes. Are we really going to wait for death if we don't tell everyone to get off?"

After speaking, he slung the huge black bag next to him over his back and walked out of his seat.

"Have everyone get off?!" The train conductor on the side exclaimed in surprise: "No way, large animals have been appearing frequently in the woods on both sides of the track recently. Getting off is too dangerous!"

"Listen to him," Nangong Shushuang left a word that could not be doubted.

"Ah?" The train conductor opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The chief attendant leaned forward: "The man with the bag just now seemed to say that our bullet train might fall underground."

"How is that possible? Isn't that nonsense?" The train conductor stamped his foot in anxiety.

The chief attendant nodded: "I think so too. What danger can there be on the train? It concerns everyone's safety, we can't listen to a young Man."

"Rumble ~"

Under the huge sound, everyone in the bullet train felt the entire carriage tilt down by more than ten degrees to one side!

In an instant, a large number of screams erupted inside the train.

The train conductor suddenly held his breath and fell silent.

Staring at one side of the bullet train.

Visible to the naked eye, a crack the width of a palm, extending for dozens to nearly a hundred meters, appeared on one side of the track!

......

"All passengers, please exit the bullet train urgently through your respective carriage exits!"

"All passengers, please exit the bullet train urgently through your respective carriage exits!"

There was only a single circle of shadow under their feet, and the scorching sun reflected the silver light off the bullet train's metal skin.

Xu Feng listened to the broadcast behind him, his gaze looking at the two of Li Xiu who had already run into the woods.

"Run into the forest. Relying on the complex terrain and those large trees, the threat of the things underground to us can be minimized," in a calm voice, Nangong Shushuang appeared beside Xu Feng after the two Sisters, Xu Xue and Xu Yu.

"However, relying on the forest to escape danger only applies to a few people. If you really want to save most people, you can only have everyone run along the track."

"The main thing is to prevent everyone from getting separated. In a place like this, the death rate for ordinary people who get separated is 78%."

"Are you an Evolutionary?" Xu Feng squatted down and looked at the long crack by the side of the track.

Evolutionary, this was a word Xu Feng had just heard Nangong Shushuang say.

From the literal meaning, he could roughly guess something.

"I am a Brain Domain Evolutionary," Nangong Shushuang did not hide it: "My brain has undergone an evolution. It can calculate everything."

"So you should believe me even more. Taking a few people and leaving alone is the only way to survive. Trying to save everyone will surely lead to death!"

Xu Feng did not respond.

His eyes, looking at the crack, were reflecting some creatures.

They were snake-like creatures as thick as thighs, covered in thick, heavy scales!

These things were constantly moving below the ground. In just this one glance, he saw more than ten of them!

"Tell everyone to run towards the front of the track, run as fast as possible!"

An alarm bell rang in his heart, and Xu Feng suddenly spoke out.

"I've already told the train conductor to do that," Nangong Shushuang said as expected.

At the same time.

In the bullet train, the broadcast changed.

"There is a possibility of a large-scale power outage or even explosion due to a fault in the bullet train's electrical System. All passengers are requested to leave the accident site of the bullet train as soon as possible and run forward along the track at the fastest speed. The Army will be waiting for everyone ahead!"

This broadcast caused everyone to panic and flee the bullet train.

"Compared to saying that evolutionary creatures are attacking, a train explosion is more believable to everyone," saying this, Nangong Shushuang said to Xu Feng: "If you really want to protect everyone, then it's up to you now."

"Up to Xu Feng?" Xu Xue and Xu Yu looked at Xu Feng with confusion.

"Boom boom boom!!"

Suddenly.

In the woods next to the bullet train, clods of earth exploded!

Li Xiu, who had already entered the woods, was now almost dragging Lin Yue back!

The passengers still running along the track saw the creatures under the soil in the woods at the first moment.

They were a mass of worm-like beings!

They looked like earthworms, but were covered in thick, yellowish-brown scales.

At the front, their cylindrical mouthparts were filled with sharp teeth!

And each of these monsters in the soil was at least as thick as a person's thigh.

As for their length, most were hidden in the mud and difficult to see, but just the parts that were exposed were enough to reach a person's shoulder height!

After clearly seeing this scene.

The hundreds of people by the side of the bullet train widened their pupils in fear.

Screaming men and women accounted for a large number!

The sudden appearance of monsters like those in movies brought too much fear!

"Evolutionary Earthworms, with an overall life peak between 5 and 10. There is a high possibility of large individuals existing among them," a faint white light appeared in Nangong Shushuang's eyes, as if a machine had started to operate.

In the woods.

Li Xiu used all his strength, just to create some distance from the things behind him!

It's just.

What was chasing him was not only the mutated Earthworms behind him, but also the Earthworms exploding out of the soil in front!

No matter where he ran, there were these terrifying creatures with mouths full of sharp teeth!

If he had a knife in his hand, Li Xiu could barely cope.

But now... he could only run!

"Whoosh!"

A gust of wind in the opposite direction swirled up beside him.

In a trance, Li Xiu saw A Man brush past him.

"Pfft pfft..."

The sound of pulp exploding was clearly heard.

The roars of the Earthworms behind suddenly dropped, and a strong Fishy smell smell spread directly.

"This is...?"

Looking back with some confusion while running.

In an instant, Li Xiu saw a back that overlapped with the figure holding an axe last night!

In front of this figure, the heads of four mutated Earthworms were scattered!

"Teacher Xu?!"

"Leave this to me, you retreat first," the giant axe in his hand shook off a splash of black and gray pulp, and Xu Feng's eyes calmly looked at the other Earthworms that were coming.

"Roar!"

Also in this short time.

The Earthworms in the soil, like cobras, stood up halfway and slowly crawled towards Xu Feng.

Seeing these guys approaching, Xu Feng swung his giant axe without the slightest hesitation!

"Pfft pfft ~"

With two soft sounds, the Earthworms' outer armor was heavily torn, and their heads fell off!

The sounds of their bodies constantly twisting and burrowing into the soil told Xu Feng that their heads would grow back in a few days!

"Run! Run quickly!"

The people in the train area.

After experiencing such a great shock, their reaction was to wish they could use their hands and feet to put distance between themselves and the things behind them!

It's just that the commotion was already too great!

"Boom boom boom!!"

Between the hundreds of passengers running quickly, patches of earth and stones exploded.

Many Earthworms from underground emerged under the scorching sun, biting into the bodies of the people passing by them!

"Ah! Save me!"

With the appearance of Evolutionary Earthworms in the crowd, the situation became completely chaotic.

Crying, screaming, and roaring were all mixed together.

"Rip!!"

An Evolutionary Earthworm that was biting a passenger to death had its head with sharp teeth directly torn apart by the giant axe!

Freed from the entanglement, the passenger, as if they had walked through the gates of hell, covered the bloody flesh on their shoulder and fled, trembling all over.

They could only flee, and only by fleeing was there a glimmer of hope!

Those who ran fast had already run over a hundred meters from the broken section of the track.

And those who couldn't run fast mostly carried some valuable items.

On the System panel before his eyes, the 1032 surviving people were decreasing one by one!

If this situation continued, let alone guaranteeing the 800 people required by the System, even keeping half of them alive would be a huge challenge!

Fortunately, when the mission was triggered before, Xu Feng already had some ideas.
