Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 346 345. Let us see the level of work

Lin Shenxue is not good at slow music. He is usually quiet and silent, but he is actually a rock player at heart.

I'm curious how a guy who can rock out on Doomsday Train can suppress his passion and live the life of a "senior craftsman" who repairs and maintains cars.

Lin Shenxue used a compact and intense "noise" to prove that he had not forgotten his skills. He stuck his guitar on the ground and turned around to see Seifer clapping intermittently.

"It seems I haven't forgotten, but I'll just entertain myself... Let's get back to work. Are there any other projects I need to adjust?"

The machine was in perfect condition, and Cypher asked her to help mount the weapons on it. Considering that he might encounter some illusory machines in the future, close combat would be necessary.

The final weapon configuration became extremely simple and crude—there wasn't much room for combat in the academy city, so compared to suppressive machine guns, hand-held grenades, or rocket launchers, the best weapon...

They were pistols, two of them.

After dual-wielding pistols and mounting the "Spike" on one shoulder, Cypher hesitated slightly on the other shoulder and chose the eight-mounted missile launcher.

Multiple locks should be useful for paralyzing armored vehicles that may catch up... After all, the opponent is likely to be a defense team composed of students. If you rush forward and hit them with a machine body, I'm afraid that someone will really die.

That’s right, Sefer is such a loving person. Since fighting cannot take people’s lives, he must do his best!
The next morning, when Cypher had just sat in the machine and was thinking about how to set off, he saw Velvet driving a very tall transport truck and waving at him.

...Use this trick.

The machine started up, and the huge device came down from the maintenance platform with a rumbling sound. The armored radiator grille at the back, which had been unfolded, continuously gushed out heat waves that distorted the light.

Climbing onto the truck, Seifer connected to the encrypted frequency band as instructed. As soon as he entered, he heard Xiaoxia's highly contagious voice: "Everyone! Success or failure depends on this. If we can get the train, our technology will be able to reach a new level!"

"By then, we will be able to control not only the water systems of the Academy City, but also those of the surrounding satellite cities!"

Few people responded. After all, they were all hired by her, and they didn't quite understand the importance of water systems... If it were a bank, they could understand its value.

Xiaoxia didn't care at all. After saying some encouraging words, she immediately arranged for the personnel to take action. The car that Seifer was in was driven by Wei Erwei and went to the designated fast lane parking area to wait.

The group from the Yorozuya disguised themselves as ordinary students and entered the train through the gate.

By the way, since sudden gunfights often occur in the college town, carrying a gun on the train is a legal act and will not be stopped by the Railway Defense Department.

It's outrageous, right? Everyone thinks it's outrageous, but this is an academy town, and some ideas and rules are not universal.

As for Xiaoxia herself, she will board the train at the starting station and occupy a favorable position first. When the train approaches the truck area where Seifer is, she will start to act!
After the plan was deployed, Cypher sat in the machine, leisurely crossing his legs while waiting, and contacted Laika: "What do you think the success rate of the operation is?"

"Alas... Red Crossbow, I'm not very interested in this kind of illegal activity. Besides, I don't think anyone would expect someone to hijack a train."

"And it's for the train itself. They even planned to drive all the passengers off the train to ensure their safety..."

Seifer said with a hint of laughter: "You are a native of Academy City, but you are even more uncomfortable with it than me?"

"At least I didn't think of helping anyone hijack the train. Red Crossbow... Keep up the good work, I'll give you a heads-up."

Having Laika by my side was reassuring, honestly. She wasn't some 'reliable Allied intelligence agent' or a defeatist strategist. She was always there to provide immediate off-field support and reminders, providing excellent support.

Just as I was wondering whether I should praise her, Xiaoxia's deliberately suppressed voice came through the communication.

"I've already boarded the train. There are fewer than five people in the last carriage. Wow, there are even fewer than I thought."

The covers on both sides of the truck's cabin were opened, and Weiwei then removed the box at the back and drove the truck back to the college - this truck was borrowed, so it couldn't be damaged.

"Hehehe~ The client is really good at practicing what he preaches, but he's only at this level. He can't be a troublemaker~"

A somewhat frivolous or light voice was heard, followed by Xiaoxia's rebuttal, saying that she only wanted the car and asked the people from the Wanshiwu to stop messing around!

"Hehe~ Sure, no problem. We're ready to get on the bus. We'll be on in five minutes... no, four minutes, right?"

After the voice ended, Xiaoxia contacted Seifer again, asking him to stay calm and to follow the train for protection for some distance - and she was now putting special stickers on the doors of the train.

Yellow and black stripes with words like "Danger," "Working," and "Keep Out of the Way" written on them. Students preparing to board the bus will be quite tactful and stay away when they see these stickers.

After all... there are also many people who don't carry guns and fight with others every day, and there are also quite a few people who just want to live a quiet life without being disturbed.

Theoretically, this process is quite useful. After eliminating innocent people, there should be no one on this train which is actually operating normally.

She just needs to walk to the front of the car, use the circuit breaker given to her by the technical department to disconnect the automatic control system, and copy her own manual operating system into it, and the car will have a new owner!
—By the way, this train belongs to I/O Enterprise, so everyone here has no objection to it.

It’s better to say that even if it’s a car from the Phantom Mist Group, Seifer would dare to steal it. After all, I’m just a mercenary who works for pay, right?
However, this was only in theory. Xiaoxia only walked through two carriages. When she was in the third carriage, she suddenly sounded the alarm: "Something is not right - why is the train patrol on the train?"

Cipher wondered, "Where else could the train patrol be if they weren't on the train? The station?"

"That's not the question! The point is why they are on this train. The timetable clearly states they should be somewhere else... I'll stop for a moment, convenience store!"

"Oh~ We're here." The frivolous little girl's voice came immediately, and then she smiled, "Oh, this is really unexpected, but since we accepted the commission, we must do it well, hehe~"

It sounds quite reliable. While listening to the report, Seifer casually asked Leica how the commissions of the Yorozuya were being completed.
"Hmm... I just looked it up. Red Crossbow. The name Yorozuya is very unique. It can only belong to those four people. Their... not to mention their work skills, but their work philosophy is very strange."

"What concept?"

"That is... they must do something bad that will shock the academy, because they claim to be the necessary villains in the academy."

Oh, it's amazing that they can find such a group of people. They are really powerful, very powerful.

Just as Cypher was pleased that he had finally seen the dark side of the academy, Leica continued, "So far, the worst thing the Yorozuya has done is blow up a restaurant."

"Because the restaurant used industrial seasoning packets and sold worm meat as fish to students."
