65: The unfortunate Black Knight

Outside the ruins of Qinghe City.

The Black Knight was currently fleeing at full speed around the ruins of Qinghe City.

Gao Feng felt a bit unlucky.

After the Train Assembly, following the instructions of the Divination Compass, he and the Armed Thug searched in the direction the Xinhuo Train had departed.

However, before they could find the Xinhuo Train, they were blocked by a Corroded Zone, and most of their traction wheels were damaged.

Then they were surrounded by a horde of zombies.

After much effort to clear the zombies and open a path, they tried to find the Xinhuo Train again.

Who would have thought it had suddenly disappeared?

With great difficulty, they followed the tracks and found the last traces of the Xinhuo Train before its disappearance.

This was the Golden Kobold Canyon, where a Civilization Fissure existed.

However, this Civilization Fissure could only be explored by one train.

Gao Feng initially firmly believed in the results of the Divination Compass and wanted to guard the Civilization Fissure, waiting for the Xinhuo Train to emerge so they could act together.

The Armed Thug accompanied the Black Knight.

Coupled with some other Level 2 Trains, a dozen or so trains were sparsely spread around the Civilization Fissure, creating a considerable presence.

Although this attracted some zombies, the Train Captains were numerous and powerful, with strong firepower, so no major disturbances occurred.

Especially when the Tier 3 Train, the Giant Whale Train, joined them midway, it further boosted everyone's confidence.

Then, they encountered the Navigator, which had come looking for the Knocking Ghost and the Xinhuo Train.

Zhuang Zao, the Train Captain of the Navigator, was originally furious about not finding the Knocking Ghost and the Xinhuo Train.

But upon discovering so many trains gathered here, he was overjoyed.

It didn't matter if he couldn't find the Knocking Ghost and the Xinhuo Train; as long as he ate more living people, fed his Ghost Soldiers, and improved his own strength.

Who needed the Knocking Ghost then?!

He himself could be the Knocking Ghost!!

Don't let Zhuang Zao's Navigator kneeling so quickly and thoroughly before Lu Yang and the Xinhuo Train deceive you.

Before other trains, it was an unbeatable ultimate BOSS.

Otherwise, how would he dare to be so arrogant?

If it weren't for the Black Knight and Gao Feng's quick reactions, issuing an early warning and taking some blocking measures immediately.

Under the Navigator's first wave of attack, most of the gathered Train Captains would have suffered heavy casualties.

Especially those Level 2 Trains without Ectoplasmic Shields.

In front of the half-zombie, half-ghost Ghost Soldiers, they lacked both offensive and defensive means.

They were like mere vegetables.

Of course, many Level 2 Train Captains who ultimately escaped with their lives should also especially thank the Giant Whale Train.

There was no other way; the Giant Whale Train had the most living people on board, making it the fattest lamb among everyone present.

Although the Black Knight and the Armed Thug, both Tier 3 Trains, also had a good number of passengers, they were not pushovers and had many tricks up their sleeves.

They gave Zhuang Zao and the Navigator a good fight in the first wave.

Most Level 2 Train Captains, however, were relatively poor, with a hundred or two hundred passengers on their trains considered a lot.

Only the Giant Whale Train, despite also being a Tier 3 Train, had much weaker means of defending against the bizarre compared to the Black Knight and the Armed Thug, and it had a large population onboard.

As a result, it became the primary target of the Navigator and Zhuang Zao's attack.

Although the Black Knight and the Armed Thug continuously interfered and provided support midway.

Their effectiveness against the Ghost Soldiers was indeed limited.

This ultimately led to the Giant Whale Train having to sacrifice its tail to escape, with only its locomotive and one production carriage fleeing in a panic, while all other carriages and passengers became fodder for the Ghost Soldiers.

Having eaten its fill from the Giant Whale Train, Zhuang Zao's confidence greatly increased.

He then set his sights on the Black Knight, which had caused them the most interference earlier.

He chased the Black Knight for several hundred kilometers around the Civilization Fissure.

In the end, it was Lu Yang who discovered the Giant Whale Train's carriages and Ghost Soldiers that had fallen into the canyon, killed the Ghost Soldiers, and attracted Zhuang Zao's attention, thereby rescuing the Black Knight.

However, from then on, the Black Knight no longer dared to stay around the Civilization Fissure.

It turned its locomotive and headed towards the ruins of Qinghe City.

His idea was the same as Lu Yang's: the northwest direction had more flat ground, allowing trains to accelerate quickly and making escape easier.

The result—

Uh, it was indeed convenient for escaping!!

He almost crashed head-on into Wu Mazi's Dragon Tooth.

If he hadn't turned the locomotive quickly, he would have probably been done for in minutes.

Gao Feng's eyes hurt just from looking at the eerie Dragon Tooth.

Compared to it, Zhuang Zao's Navigator was like the difference between an adult and a child.

And now, that adult was menacingly chasing after the Black Knight.

From time to time, it would also emit several sharp Soul Scream Waves.

The vibrations made people's heads feel like they were splitting.

Fortunately, Gao Feng was preparing to take the Ghost Train route.

He had done a lot of preparatory work in this area.

Although he wasn't as lucky as Lu Yang to obtain the Guardian Statue blueprint.

But besides the Ghost Shield, his train also had an item called 'Monk's Relic'.

Wearing this item could block bizarre attacks to a certain extent.

It could also provide some protection against the Soul Scream Waves emitted by the Dragon Tooth.

Otherwise, the Black Knight, let alone maintaining high-speed forward movement, would be lucky not to overturn.

After all, under the Tier 3 Eternal Night Disaster, the radar's detection range was greatly reduced, severely affecting the performance of the Train Intelligent Auxiliary AI, and obstacles encountered during travel had to be corrected manually in time.

Being able to keep the train running at full speed in the Eternal Night environment.

Is a skill in itself!!
