Inside The Black Mist

Ch 36 - Desperate Fight

"Damn, I shouldn't have eaten that much before!" Looking at those swaying figures coming out of the black mud, Han Shu covered his stomach with an uncomfortable expression.

He was not the only one who felt sick, other people also felt disgusted, and even some people could not help but vomitted.

Attracted by the scent of humans and their warm flesh and blood, these prowlers, who had not been digested by the Ghost Train, staggered towards the Ascenders after stepping out of the black mud.

In the open area, however, the prowler's danger level was greatly reduced. As long as you don't get caught up in them, they were basically not a deadly threat.

The real trouble was the Ghost Train -- the monster that [lost weight] successfully. The temperature around its body was not that high anymore, but the body surface was still transmitting red light.

Tianyang observed with electronic eyes and got a set of data. The temperature of the Ghost Train body surface fluctuates between 150 and 180 degrees, a temperature that still cannot be easily approached.

On the contrary, the body temperature under the belly of the monster was only thirty-something degrees, which was perfectly acceptable, but he had to face the threat of those mouthparts.

Moreover, the still glowing red, two scythe-like forelimbs were not for demonstration.

As the prowler began to getting close to Ascenders, the Ghost Train's body dropped and both foot limbs sank so hard that the creature leapt up nearly ten meters like a grasshopper and climbed on a building.

Then like a crawler, it quickly crawled along the wall, passing over the heads of Tianyang and the others, and swept towards the fire position over the intersection.

"It's bad, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad!" Han Shu shouted and ran back, yelling as he ran, "Don't stand still, hurry up and shoot it down!"

Without him saying so, the men in the fire position had already adjusted their direction and attacked toward the Ghost Train. But this time, the monster behind the thinning body was more than twice as fast as before, and it was a size smaller. So most of the artillery fire hit empty, and they landed on the buildings that the Ghost Train had crawled through, blasting the buildings, which were already in a state of disrepair, to pieces.

It did nothing at all other than create an obstacle for Han Shu and the others who were turning back behind them.

The heavily armed machine still pinned itself to the road, relying on the 360-degree gimbaled wheels at its waist, the machine carried two machine guns without turning around and kept chasing the Ghost Trains.

Two torrents of blazing metal lashed the building like searing long whips and finally caught up with the Ghost Train. The heavy blows managed to press the Ghost Train into the building, but before the pilot could rejoice, the Ghost Train crashed out of the other side of the building again.

The monster landed on the ground and scurried back to the main road, moving in a zigzag pattern across the road.

The driver finally panicked, the monster was clearly coming for him! Seeing that he couldn't stop the Ghost Train's advance, the driver decided to abandon the stereoscopic armament and tapped the escape button.

The Ghost Train's foot limbs gave a lurch and the monster flew up and pressed down in the air towards this heavily armed type, its muzzle wide open.

The armament, switched to automatic mode, still sent the machine gun's bullets into the Ghost Train's muzzle frantically. At the same time the armor on the back of the armament came off and the driver along with the seat ejected from it.

The Ghost Train landed and swallowed the 5th generation armament into the mouthpiece. The pilot, who was in mid-air, could not help but sigh with relief, finally escaping at the last minute.

Just then, one of the scythe forelimbs of the Ghost Train, violently broke the air ejection.

The air swept through a red light, red light flashed through the driver's body. The driver could not even react, he was immediately split in two!

The bombardment continued, people did not even have time to feel sorry for the pilot. Because as long as there was a second of negligence, the pilot's encounter will be repeated in their own body.

The fire positions were being challenged tremendously, and after destroying the heavily armed type, the ghost vehicles connected and decapitated two Falcons.

As it rushed towards the medivac, an icy freezing fog suddenly blew in from nowhere, the dense gray-white frosty smoke wrapped around the Ghost Train. The temperature around the monster plummeted, those emitting red light crystals light color dimming, from the foot limbs, the Ghost Train quickly icing.

The monster only had time to crawl out a dozen meters, then it was frozen in the hard ice. The foot limbs that protruded forward had strips of ice on them.

On a chariot, Gray Pigeon Squad's captain -- the bald lady -- let out a long breath. As Ascenders of the elemental heart, Lida just released the ability [wither].

That was the terrifying ability to transform star energy into frost power, freezing things within tens of square meters instantly, but this ability has a distance limit.

So until the Ghost Train was close, Lida can not freeze it.

The fire position resounded in cheers, even Han Shu, who turned back, slowed down and looked in the direction of the bald lady, the rough man hemmed and hawed dryly: "Good for you, Lida."

Lida looked, only to find the body of the monster under the ice, the red crystals are lighting up brightly. The ice began to melt, a wisp of water steam began to rise.

After a few moments, the ice suddenly exploded, the Ghost Train issued a sharp whistling sound, turned toward Lida, powering wildly.

"Damn!"

Lida hurriedly jumped off the chariot, landed, rolled, and just stood up. Then sound of metal being cut was heard from behind. She turned around and look, only found that the Ghost Train had cut the chariot into two halves. The monster's body rolled back, mouthpiece wide open, let out a pleased chirp.

"We are doomed, such a monster is impossible to fight." Han Shu held the star energy lance, a bitter smile.

Other people are also depressed, even the bald lady's withering can't stop the ghosts, the other people go up was just flat out to die.

The only one who didn't think so was Tianyang, who was covering his left eye. In the sight of the remaining eye, the body of the Ghost Train was fading. After the creature had slimmed down, though it became even trickier, it can no longer use the deflective force field.

Even the stereo-armed heavy machine gun, as long as it hits, can easily blast the monster into the building.

So now, Tianyang found his weakness sensing came in handy again. However he was still unable to directly observe the will cage of the Ghost Train like last time.

But at least, The young man vaguely saw that the in the Ghost Train body, located above the mouthpiece, there was a faint red light.

He went to Han Shu's side and said softly, "Captain, I think I might know where that thing's will cage is."

Han Shu could not help but look toward The young man, his eyes full of surprise.

A few moments later, the pilot in the shooting type machine received Han Shu's communication, "Your machine, was it equipped with sniper equipment?"

The pilot immediately replied, "Yes, the 5th generation model was equipped with a sniper cannon [Falling Star], but I need to know where the will cage is, otherwise..."

"Hey, here's your chance." Han Shu took the communicator and pointed at the Ghost Train, "Listen up, the thing's cage was likely to be in the area above the muzzle, located roughly a third of the way up the body cavity. It's best to give it a shot from underneath the mouthpiece, but that's not realistic. So, can you take it out from the outside?"

The pilot had already started clicking on the screen to activate the sniper cannon: "No problem, if one shot doesn't work, I'll do ten!"

Han Shu gladly said, "Let's roll it out!"
