Chapter 547 - Amusement park train ride (2/2)

Under the cover of darkness in Liberation Park, the six Pyro Company members quietly made their way over. Before the patrol troops could even get close to the steam locomotive, they were ambushed.

…

The platoon had been patrolling around Liberation Park in their usual patrol formation, 30 soldiers marching in two parallel rows. Due to security guidelines, the safeties on these soldiers’ guns were all on.

Furthermore, the first two bullets in their magazines were blanks that would only be fired as a warning.

It wasn’t that they were stupid, but that the security guidelines throughout the stronghold were all like that.

However, when they passed by the woods in the park, they heard some sudden movements behind them. The platoon commander turned around and saw that six of his comrades at the back of the platoon had already had their throats slit.

Furthermore, the culprits did not run away and even smiled at them!

“Contact! Open fire!” the platoon commander shouted.

As he shouted, everyone in the platoon disengaged the safety on their guns. However, the six people who had ambushed them were like apparitions. The soldiers couldn’t get a bead on the enemies due to how fast they were moving.

A gust of wind blew and the leaves rustled. The enemies’ footsteps sounded like they were just beside them, yet the patrol troops could not figure out where the enemy was.

Gunshots suddenly rang out inside Liberation Park. Ever since the tunnel cave-in at East Lake, the atmosphere across Stronghold 73 remained extremely tense. But what was unexpected was that even after imposing such strict security, there were actually still people committing murder. Furthermore, the victims were the Zhou Consortium’s patrol troops!

…

Upon hearing the gunshots, a member of the Pyro Company standing next to the shadow clone said to it, “Let’s go, Wang Congyang. We’ll charge out from the east gate and break through the walls before turning southeast. There’ll be someone picking us up once we get far away.”

The shadow clone took the lead and boarded the steam locomotive. The Pyro Company members kept an intent eye on “Wang Congyang” in the conductor’s seat in case he tried any tricks.

Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu took advantage of the moment they were boarding the train to get to the side of it and grab ahold of the exterior.

The steam locomotive started moving. However, the Pyro Company members realized the steam locomotive was not heading out of Liberation Park. Instead, it was just circling the park.

When the Pyro Company members realized this, they frowned and said, “Why aren’t we leaving? What are you driving around the park? Do you think you’re operating an amusement park train ride?!”

In the end, they saw “Wang Congyang” pull a black saber out of thin air.

A Pyro Company member sneered and said, “So you’re planning to double-cross us, huh? But don’t you think you should ask yourself if you’re capable of doing so? There’s three of us but only one of you. You’re already using your Steam Locomotive, and we’re aboard the train as well, so don’t tell me you can still knock us down.”

Actually, this Pyro Company member’s logic was not wrong at all.

A superhuman could only have one power. Now that they were all aboard the steam locomotive, Wang Congyang’s physical fitness might not even match theirs as soldiers who had been genetically modified. So if Wang Congyang were trying to double-cross them in this situation, it would be as good as suicide.

The only thing they did not expect was that the person in front of them was not Wang Congyang. Or more accurately, this person in front of them was not even human.

Then the steam locomotive came to an abrupt halt. Due to the immense inertia, the three Pyro Company members staggered forward a couple steps before charging the shadow clone!
