Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 72 72. This is the result of driving the wolf to swallow the tiger? !
The howling wind brought with it enough snow and blizzard to turn a normal person without warm clothing into an ice stick within ten minutes.

In this barren world, even though the situation is so tragic, people are still trying hard to survive and pass on their legacy.

Use Snowpiercer.

No one knows who built the Doomsday Train, nor does anyone know why it can depart and arrive at the station on time.

But the increasingly fierce nameless machines must be dealt with. Instigated by the bells of Doomsday Train, they chase the train and want to turn it into pieces.

Sefer, who had to enter the vision, had a different opinion on this - these things were not following the train, but wanted to destroy all living things that did not belong to them.

His body stood on the cliff, overlooking the chaotic situation below.

The moment he was transferred here, he had been to such a frosty and snowy place before, so he immediately understood what had happened and was going to happen, so he immediately activated the nozzle of the machine and rushed to the high ground.

The two machines that were knocked unconscious did not react as quickly as him, and this time, the footage of entering the vision did not seem so "friendly".

To sum up, because Cypher rushed to the top of the mountain while spraying energy beams downwards to prevent them from going up, the two machines were instantly pressed down the mountain and came into contact with the pile of natural machinery that was glowing red and very dangerous.

Putting the words 'natural' and 'mechanical' together always feels a little off...

In short, after the two of them bumped into these crazy machines, they seemed to change their combat targets in an instant and began to clear out those things.

They couldn't figure it out, because from what Cypher observed, the machines that were originally just patrolling idly in the distance were now gathering into a torrent and starting to march towards this side.

Cypher wasn't in a hurry either. He stood on the top of the mountain and watched the one-sided massacre for half an hour. The ground was littered with metal parts and useless waste.

Watch as those two machines went from being swift and coordinated seamlessly to starting to make mistakes and being unable to take care of their teammates. Then problems arose with their guns, and even those ridiculously long whips were gnawed and broken.

Finally, he watched as the two machines were pierced through their joints and structures, and fell in the vast sea of machinery, without a trace of light left.

The strategy of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger is very useful. If possible, I would like to use it next time.

Thinking it over, Seifer even had time to see if the wrecked bodies of the two guys would be thrown into the wild next. It didn't matter if he didn't look, but a quick glance over - these bastards, it seems they don't intend to leave?
Countless machines glowing red were surrounding the place where two powerful enemies had just been defeated, and some of them were constantly piling themselves onto the machines glowing red energy.

Layer upon layer, stack upon stack, mechanical monsters continue to lose their mobility due to exposed energy sources, and new ones continue to be piled up.

This strange sight even made Sefer stop and look for a moment.

Then he suddenly remembered that it seemed, seemed, probably, that this world 'did not have the kind of energy that was in the desert'.

This vision has just been developed, and many things are still unknown. Although the information says that no matter what is done to the interior of the vision, it will return to its original state when it is closed and opened next time...

But this doesn't look like a 'recovery' at all, but rather a mutation.

Soon, the two machines on the ground were covered with a large amount of black armor. The red glow flowing in it looked quite ominous, and even the armor structure did not look like something that would be made by "humans".

But this is not over yet!
The two machines slowly pieced together, then disintegrated. More mechanical monsters pounced on them, integrating their cores, structures, outer armor, and bionic systems into them.

The reddish glow emitted by the entire 'deformed monster' contracted and expanded like a beating heart, and even became more and more uniform in speed, as if it was hatching.

Seifer wanted to say something, but all he could do now was take pictures and then prepare to run away.

There is no shame in escaping, sometimes it is to accumulate strength.

From the summit, Cypher activated all the rear nozzles, even opening the rear radiator grille to maximize flight speed. The aircraft suddenly gained speed, slicing through midair over the heads of the mechanical monsters. The vast expanse of snow covered the scene with an almost pure white hue, while the rear radiator grille billowed with steam.

I have to say that the judgment was very correct. The moment Seifer left the top of the mountain, a dim beam of light passed across the mountain, causing the frost and ice that would not melt for thousands of years to peel off instantly.

There was no dramatic explosion, seemingly because this kind of energy flow... would not cause an explosion.

In the rear view, the black machine that was obviously three times larger slowly stood up, and the burning effect caused by the light bursting from its core had not yet ended.

It itself was also burning, and new mechanical monsters immediately replaced the fallen structures.

Sefer expressed his apologies for coming up with such a weird thing.

Then he ran even faster.

For such a big target, these monsters would definitely not let him go easily. In this dangerous terrain composed of rugged snowfields and mountain roads, Seifer ran at a "physically" fast speed in the direction where there were no monsters.

The good news was that after only a few minutes of running, he received a signal from the civilized world.

There was no bad news, because the track was right in front of him. It was so wide that it even made Sefer suspect that it was multiple parallel tracks, appearing in the vast snowfield.

He adjusted his posture, and when the monsters swarmed in, he aligned the footsteps of his body with the track, scraping off a lot of sparks at the bottom and continued to sprint along the track.

The track was smooth and there wasn't even any snow on it. Regardless of the technology used, the performance of the mechanical monsters tracking behind was quite interesting.

They only walked along the left or right side of the road and never stepped onto the track. Even the huge chimeric fusion mechanical monster that slowly appeared in the field of vision followed this behavior.

After just a moment's observation, Cypher continued running, and the noise in the communication gradually became clearer - the huge Doomsday Train had probably detected this unusual event.

But they couldn't stop, or rather, this train didn't allow them to stop. As soon as Cypher pushed forward, a large number of guns and cannons appeared at the rear end of the train, which was still huge for his body.

Various fire control sights were aimed directly at them, and then they were all stunned... It was unclear whether they were surprised by this machine that could glide on the track, or surprised by the super-large electronic chimeric dragon.

This is not an adjective, but the thing is really becoming less and less like a human as it continues to collapse, reorganize, and become thicker.

It was more like a wild animal, following its instinct to follow what attracted it and continued to chase the train.

Soon, the people in the car probably made their judgment, and artillery shells and noisy gunfire opened fire at the same time. None of that terrifying firepower was directed at Sefer.

So he didn't even react and just kept sprinting.

After the last jump, when he easily reached the roof of the car, he received the call.

"Which exploration team are you from? Why didn't you submit an action report?"

Cypher was silent for a moment, then spoke, "I'm number 4 of the train defense force. I just saw a new monster variant outside, and I'm reporting to you... but I'm bringing a sample with me."

The intercom inside the train was silent, and then a voice said, "No. 4, the train is about to enter the terminal. There can be no mishaps during this time. You must stay outside until it arrives."

"During this time, watch your firepower and don't cause any damage to the train."

A strange voice, but the process is the same, considering that this anomaly has not yet been established...

The two guys who died in the vision should be completely gone. What's strange is that they didn't communicate with each other until their death. Why?
