I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse

Chapter 813 - 903: You Young People Always Can’t Run at Critical Moments, Sigh!

"Great, great, we’re finally saved!"

"We’re alive, we survived!!"

"Following your command, whatever you say goes, as long as we can stay alive."

Jing Shu finished dealing with the insects in the carriage, clapped her hands, "Everyone gather your things, bring what you can, bedding, food, and other necessities without needing my reminder. I believe everyone here is quite experienced. We’re going to get off the train and move away from this area to wait for rescue. The special rescue team has already arrived."

The conductor nodded vigorously, nodded again, then finally said, "Huh? Aren’t we supposed to wait for the rescue on the train? Wouldn’t it be more dangerous if we leave? Please don’t be angry, I’m just a bit curious, it’s fine if you don’t want to say..." The conductor asked humbly.

Jing Shu explained, "These insects specialize in eating metal, eating tracks, you saw earlier, their saliva can melt metal, producing a substance that shatters upon contact. The train is filled with their food. Do you think being in the belly of their food...is like pork wrapped in fatty tissue—outside, inside are all edible materials. Do you guess if they might eat you along the way?

On the contrary, as long as they have food, they won’t actively and recklessly attack humans."

Although Jing Shu’s rotten mermaids here constantly hunted the Iron Worms, don’t forget, there’s a huge hole below Carriage 10, Jing Shu couldn’t guarantee that a large team of them couldn’t tunnel in directly from that big hole, it was indeed more dangerous.

"Oh, oh, I see, it’s indeed more dangerous to stay on the train, I will arrange for everyone to begin evacuating."

Having survived in the apocalypse for five years, people had a lot of experience in grabbing goods and evacuating, it was like not letting a goose pass by without plucking a feather.

Besides carrying their own bedding and luggage, they also took table boards between seats, benches embedded in the train, toilets from the washroom, pots, bowls, and even water buckets from the dining car. Everything they could see was taken.

Jing Shu evacuated everyone from the train, everyone carrying large bags, some dismantled parts of the train engine like generators.

Jing Shu gave an approving look, seeing these people knew how to live. Wu Jiang’s mouth twitched as he saw this, thinking it was too exaggerated, made him feel out of place for only bringing a charging cable empty-handed.

Jing Shu placed the wounded on Hulk-brand stretchers, and the crowd marched grandly towards the perimeter.

"This way, everyone follows me closely."

They only walked four or five hundred meters before some elderly people didn’t want to go further:

"You all said the train was dangerous, and full of those insects, which is why we followed you down, isn’t it enough now? We old folks really can’t walk too far, actually, I think this deserted place is less safe than being on the train."

"Yeah, even if the train is dangerous, it should be safer than here in the wild, right? Besides, we can’t compare to you young folks, we’re carrying big bags and moving bit by bit, barely able to move, why don’t we let that green monster carry our luggage and bedding for a bit?"

Just as everyone was arguing, a loud noise suddenly came from behind. Someone shined their phone flashlight over, only to see the several-hundred-meter-long train collapse with a roar and disappear while countless Iron Worms swarmed out, buzzing loudly.

The dense, overwhelming sound of the insects vibrating their wings once again reminded everyone of the fear they just experienced.

"Run!"

"Hurry up and run, there are so many insects."

"Damn, it’s too dangerous here, let’s run farther away, the insects are catching up!"

Jing Shu stood firm and chuckled, "Didn’t they just say this place was quite safe? Let the ones who didn’t want to leave just stay there."

The conductor came jogging over, wiping sweat: "Shouldn’t we hurry? Hurry and leave, too many insects over there, fortunately, we listened to you and escaped. Otherwise, it would’ve been terrifying!"

Everyone nodded with deep understanding and looked at Jing Shu with newfound appreciation for her foresight.

"No rush, with so much food they won’t come over. Besides, you all are carrying so much stuff, can you run fast?" Jing Shu thought she had left plenty of rotten mermaids as reassurance; she had just finished speaking when those who complained about not being able to walk because of too much luggage and old limbs were now running with their big bags faster than anyone else.

Jing Shu shook her head, thinking some people really don’t weep until they see the coffin, but when they see the coffin, they run faster than ghosts: "Let’s go, the rescue team has arrived, we’ll go meet them."

"Hurry up, hurry up, this pace is so slow, didn’t I always tell you youngsters to exercise more casually, in a critical moment you’re out of breath, can’t run anymore, can you?"

Quickly, the crowd divided into two extremes, the front was a group of middle-aged and elderly people, while at the back, a group of young people carried all sorts of things, panting.

Jing Shu stayed at the back, glancing towards where the train disappeared, wondering where these insects came from? It felt like they suddenly appeared around here.

Just as she was pondering, the sound of rumbling came from the front, with more than a dozen trucks arriving! Along with two armored vehicles, one of which stopped, and a strong man with a small yellow braid stepped out under the lights.

Jing Shu took one look at this person and knew it was the four-eyed boy from the group chat.

Because the four-eyed boy wasn’t an ordinary four-eyed boy but a true four-eyed boy, possessing four eyes, two sets of eyes.

Normal people have one pair of eyes. The four-eyed boy’s other pair of eyes is above his forehead, resembling large frog-like eyes, very lively. He seemed to have night vision as well since he noticed when Jing Shu waved her hand and ran over.

"Thanks for your trouble, comrade, I’ll take over from here. You mentioned the situation earlier in the group chat, so there have been large-scale insect riots again?" the four-eyed boy’s main pair of eyes looked at Jing Shu while the protruding eyes gazed into the distance.

Jing Shu shrugged, "You should be able to see it, that’s the situation. Your people aren’t enough to fill the gaps between the insects’ teeth, you’d better call for more of them quickly. However, I still wouldn’t recommend using heat weapons, after all, these insects can spit gallium, do you know how valuable that is?"

"It was only after you mentioned it that I learned. After reporting it to the higher-ups, they attached great importance to it. I’ll leave two teams here to guard the place, and get the ordinary civilians moved away. This level of warfare is beyond what civilians can get involved in. Currently, the higher-ups are implementing two plans:

One is sampling for drug testing to see which Poison Bomb or anesthetic bomb they react to, using whichever works. The other is dispatching special ability users with webs to wrap them up like your technique. If all else fails, we’ll resort to heat weapons."
