Global Collapse

Chapter 85 The Killing Game (Fifteen)

The squad behind them followed closely behind the minecart.

The fat man could also hear what the people behind him were saying. He vaguely heard phrases like "provide a scene that satisfies the audience," which made his butt hurt even more.

The fat "doctor" glanced at the camera overhead and said, "Aren't there a lot of people watching us make a fool of ourselves right now?"

Gu Mian pressed his head back down: "Let me correct you, we're not laughing at us, we're laughing at you."

After all, the only person who has been shot twice in the buttocks is the fat man.

Upon hearing this, the fat man's face fell: "The tracks for this train end at the tunnel entrance, right? We'll have to stop and get off then."

Although they have a hearse, Gu Mian can get in and drive it away when the time comes.

But it takes time to get off the mine cart, and that brief pause could allow them to be riddled with bullets by those catching up from behind.

At that moment, they heard some strange noises coming from the squad behind them.

The fat man looked up in surprise: "Are they approaching us?"

Gu Mian also listened to the voices behind her: "I'm afraid so. It seems we need to hurry up."

Mr. Killer in the live broadcast room laughed: "It seems that these participants have realized their dangerous situation. They still want to make a futile struggle, but it will not be of any use."

He was still in contact with the security forces inside the mine.

The captain's somewhat shrill voice came through the communicator: "We are approaching three game participants ahead, and we predict that we can kill them directly inside the mine."

Mr. Kill glanced at the screen: "Kill them directly inside the mine? You're not far from the mine exit now, it should be in three or four minutes..."

"Yes, within these few minutes, we can eliminate the three participants ahead." The captain's voice came again.

Mr. Killer laughed: "Right now, viewers all over the world are watching the screen, hoping you can have an interesting hunt... Of course, don't make it too bloody, some underage viewers might not be able to handle it."

The fat man lay prone in the carriage with his eyes wide open. The squad behind him was getting closer and closer, and he could hear the captain's voice.

"Doctor, listen to what they're saying! They're saying they're going to kill us in minutes!"

At this moment, the fat man ignored the pain in his wound and stared wide-eyed at the back, as if afraid that someone might climb up from behind.

Gu Mian heard it too, and he turned to look at the front of the car: "Can you speed up?"

These words were, of course, spoken to Chu Changge.

Chu Changge didn't hesitate and gave the answer directly: "We've reached our limit, but we can use a tow hook. The lighter weight will make us move forward faster."

The fat man was somewhat confused: "What does 'decoupling' mean?"

Gu Mian explained: "To put it simply, it means abandoning the carriages and running directly. This way, with only the engine, the weight will be greatly reduced, and the speed will be increased."

The fat man was shocked: "But it seems we're still in the carriage."

Therefore, it is of course not possible to unhook directly.

Gu Mian glanced at the back of the carriage. The sounds coming from behind were getting closer and closer. He could even hear someone climbing a ladder.

At this point, no more arrows were shot from behind, probably out of consideration for the people climbing the ladder.

It seems this group of people intends to climb into the train carriage and engage in hand-to-hand combat.

"What do we do?" The fat man almost jumped up, clutching his butt, when he heard this voice.

Gu Mian reacted quickly, grabbing him and then turning to shout towards the front of the car, "Someone's trying to climb up."

He had barely finished speaking when Chu Changge's voice came through: "Hold on tight to the side wall!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian immediately reached out and grabbed the side wall of the carriage, while also pulling the fat man who hadn't yet reacted.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous roar came from behind.

He turned his head and saw that the rear wall of the carriage was tilting outward like a door, and then crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

This mining cart was originally designed to haul coal out for unloading. The rear wall of the cart, like a door, could be raised and lowered freely, controlled from the driver's cab. At this moment, Chu Changge opened the rear wall from inside the cab. The person climbing the ladder behind was hit by the impact, and it's unclear whether they died or not, but Gu Mian heard a scream.

As the back wall collapsed, the hooks that were originally hanging on it could no longer hold and came loose.

At the same time, a large amount of coal rolled towards the back of the carriage, and because that side was open, the coal rolled down the rear wall like a tide.

Because the rear wall of the carriage was open, the two were no longer separated from the running team behind them, and their eyes met directly.

Gu Mian hadn't expected to meet him so soon, so she could only force an awkward smile: "Hello..."

The captain, dressed in a hazmat suit, wasn't buying it.

The captain was even somewhat exasperated—Gu Mian could tell from his body language, after all, his face was completely covered by a gas mask.

Seemingly because he saw the miserable state of the people climbing the ladder, the captain viciously ripped the long gun off his back and quickly cocked it.

"Holy shit!" the fat man yelled, "You fucking want to die together with me?!"

Aren't you afraid that firing a gun in the mine will cause an explosion?

But the members of the Order Guard seemed to disregard all of this, and they all pulled out the long guns from their backs and cocked them.

At this moment, the captain had already raised his gun and was about to aim it at them.

Chu Changge acted quickly. At that moment, the fallen rear cargo bed suddenly began to rise again, but before it could fully rise, someone behind it opened fire.

Gu Mian suddenly let go of the fat man's hand and quickly lay down as well. The bullet flew over their heads and entered the front of the carriage wall, creating large craters.

The fat man turned around in astonishment to look at the large crater that had been blasted out: "Wow, that gun was that powerful?"

This mining cart looks quite high-end; the steel used to make the walls of the cart is more than ten centimeters thick. Even so, it was still impacted and a dent the size of a bowl was formed. You can imagine the power of the impact.

“Do you think this is an anti-Japanese war movie?” Gu Mian also looked at the big crater: “This is not the kind of bullet in anti-Japanese war movies that can be dug out by itself after being hit. I estimate that one of their bullets could blow off one of your arms.”

At this moment, gunfire continued to erupt from the rear.

The two men watched as bulges appeared on the carriage, realizing that it probably wouldn't last much longer.

While the fat man was still in a state of panic, Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from ahead: "We just unloaded about half of the coal, which has increased our speed. We should be able to leave this mine before the rear wall of the truck is breached and create some distance between us."

"Great!" The fat man's face lit up.

But just then, Chu Changge's lowered voice came again: "I'm talking about if nothing unexpected happens—after all, Gu Mian is still in this car."

After all, Gu Mian was still in the car, and it was hard to say what might happen along the way—this was Chu Changge's unspoken message.

Although it was a subtext, the two people in the carriage understood it perfectly.

Gu Mian, quite calmly, began to list the possible unexpected events:

"For example, a mine cart derailing..."

The fat man shuddered.

"For example, a mine collapse..."

The fat man bit his lip tightly.

"For example, a bomb that was originally decommissioned in this carriage suddenly explodes and starts emitting wisps of white smoke, but we can't throw it out because it's stuck in the middle of the coal and can't be removed."

The fat man roared, "How can you describe things so vividly!"

Gu Mian stared at a corner of the carriage: "Because I saw it."

The release date is set for March 15th (seriously hinting to save my votes ·jpg).
