Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

"This is like trying to hide something obvious," Fan Xiao chuckled. "Is the train conductor really that inconsiderate?"

"They probably didn't expect anyone to hijack the car," Wu Tongnian judged. "These are all necessary protective measures. You can't just leave it completely open without any obstacles, can you?"

Chapter 263 Teammate Killer

Looking at the protective measures at the connection between the carriages, Wu Tongnian glanced at his younger sister.

Wu Tongyue nodded, moved a few steps to the side, and placed her hand on the car wall.

The tool for manipulating metal was activated.

Instantly, the metal car wall seemed to have been rippled on the surface of a still lake, as if a stone had been thrown in.

The ripples quickly spread further forward, covering the entire connecting area between the carriages.

The metal device that had been blocking their path dispersed like soft water.

The device that generated the light band fell to the ground, the energy barrier disappeared, and the passage to the last carriage was opened.

However, just as Fan Xiao and the others were about to go inside to check the situation, a shaking sound suddenly came from behind.

The speed of the train carriage beneath my feet... is slowing down.

The carriage has detached!

"what happened!?"

"The train conductor abandoned the train so quickly?"

"How is this possible? We haven't even made a move yet!"

The voices of the Mammon members carried a hint of surprise and uncertainty.

"Hey sis, go check which carriage it detached from, and reconnect the carriages!"

Wu Tongnian quickly said to his younger sister.

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Tongyue had already teleported away from where she stood.

Seeing this, Wu Tongnian breathed a sigh of relief and cursed, "This damn idiot train conductor was sitting in the control room, just waiting for a problem to happen so he could press the disconnect switch, huh!"

"Logically speaking, even if he were in the control room, it shouldn't have taken this long."

Fan Xiao said, "We just removed the barrier; there needs to be some reaction time, right?"

"The removal of the equipment and the detachment of the carriages happened almost simultaneously."

"Hmm...you're right, it can't be that fast, we might have been ambushed!"

Wu Tongnian said, "Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that there were no people in three consecutive carriages?"

"That idiot Allen... Heh, he's got some nerve!"

"If I manage to find out he really did it, hmph..."

A cold expression appeared on his face.

Is it possible that the connection between the carriages ahead just happened to detach due to a malfunction...? Fan Xiao muttered to himself.

Only he knew that this possibility was very high!

Because he didn't want to kill people indiscriminately on the train, the carriage ahead detached as soon as they found the place to store the fantasy substance, forcing the Mammon members to focus on collecting the cargo first—in other words, his wish was subtly taking effect.

Based on this assumption, it would be pointless for Wu Tongyue to go ahead.

She will most likely fail to connect to the train ahead due to some unexpected event and return empty-handed.

bang, bang...

At that moment, two thuds sounded as the ground hit the ground.

Fan Xiao and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw the train guard, which had been integrated with the top of the carriage, detach and land on the floor.

Their red eyes flashed as they targeted Fan Xiao and the others.

The next second, eight high-energy laser beams were emitted.

A terrifying heat descended, and the air swept by the laser rapidly heated up, with scorching waves of air spreading out to both sides.

Suddenly, the laser beam struck the air, causing a slight explosion at the point of impact.

Beneath the scorching heatwave, a corner of the defensive barrier composed of translucent hexagonal blocks was revealed.

"Hmph, a few lumps of iron, but they reacted pretty quickly."

Wu Tongnian gave a cold laugh.

Fan Xiao watched the collision unfold before him and silently recorded the information: "A barrier-type defensive item that can be activated without needing to call out its name."

The next second, a very exquisite short blade appeared in Wu Tongnian's hand.

"Blade of Rift"

Snap—He swiftly pulled the short blade a third of the way out of its sheath, then shoved it back in with a thud.

At the same time, cracks appeared on the mechanical bodies guarded by the four-body train.

B-grade item - Rift Blade - Its function is simple: it can generate a rift of the corresponding size based on the target's body shape.

There is a certain chance that this gap will be opened directly at the target's fatal weakness, such as a person's brain or heart.

However, the chances of this happening are too small to rely on in battle.

But its target-locking function is very powerful... or rather, it has a very high degree of coercion.

As long as the target is within its attack range, it can ignore defenses and force cracks and fissures to appear on the target's body.

Generally speaking, this kind of wound can only be considered a minor injury and is not fatal.

However, when combined with Wu Tongnian's "amplification" talent, it can achieve a terrifying effect—he can even tear a building into shreds in an instant.

Wu Tongnian's lips curled up, and his talent was activated.

A sound like shattering glass rang out not far away.

The cracks on the four-body train guards were magnified in one go.

They immediately shattered into dozens of pieces, falling to the ground. Lightning flashes, sparks, and minor explosions occurred simultaneously, and the remains of the train guards began to burn in the engulfing flames.

At this moment, the train guards from the other two carriages also arrived.

Wu Tongnian used the same method and instantly tore apart the guards, which were equivalent to eight powerful C-level players.

After they were split apart, the explosions unleashed flames, illuminating the entire carriage significantly.

Boom——!

Suddenly, an explosion was heard from the carriage ahead.

Fan Xiao looked ahead along the passage and saw a scene of fire and wind raging together.

This seems to be the effect of Wu Tongyue's item "Catastrophe Twelve".

Wu Tongnian realized this as well, and his face immediately darkened. "There really was an ambush! Let's go check if the goods are genuine!"

Led by him, the group of 11 people entered the last carriage.

There were many metal boxes inside the carriage.

The group dispersed and began inspecting the goods inside the metal boxes.

Soon, a series of reports rang out: "What I have here is genuine."

"I am here too."

"These boxes are all genuine..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tongnian was somewhat confused: "The goods are real... such a huge sacrifice? Using genuine goods to trick us into joining the scheme? But..."

The purpose of luring them into the scheme is nothing more than to wipe them out.

So, what about the main force that wiped them out?

Where is the enemy?

Surely it's not just those shabby guards?

After thinking about it for a while and realizing he couldn't figure it out, Wu Tongnian gave up on thinking about it.

When soldiers come, we'll meet them head-on... He took out a space-capturing prop and loaded all the fantasy matter in the entire vehicle into it.

Items involving time and space attributes are generally of very high level.

It seems that Mammon's men made thorough preparations for the robbery.

After the goods were loaded, Wu Tongnian put away the storage props and prepared to go to the front carriage to check the situation.

At this moment, Wu Tongyue suddenly teleported back and appeared in front of everyone.

She had no serious injuries, but her clothes and hair were a bit more disheveled than before.

It seems the battle just now wasn't dangerous for her, but it was quite intense.

"What's going on up ahead?" Wu Tongnian asked. "Who are you fighting?"

"A group of train guards."

Wu Tongyue replied, "Just as I was about to connect to the carriage in front, a group of train guards suddenly flew out and prevented me from manipulating the metal to connect."

At this point, she frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "What a coincidence! It takes time for so many train guards to gather together. They couldn't all just happen to be installed in the first carriage, could they? Someone must have ambushed us."

“The goods in the carriages are real,” Wu Tongnian said. “There’s no need to use real goods to ambush us. Besides, the only attacking units we’ve encountered so far are the train guards, who don’t pose much of a threat to us. What would they be doing ambush us? It doesn’t make sense.”

"Then..." Wu Tongyue asked, puzzled, "What is the reason for this situation?"

"Is there a possibility?"

Fan Xiao suddenly interjected, saying, "There were some players causing trouble in the front carriage, so the guards went there. They dealt with the troublemakers but haven't had time to leave yet?"

"Uh...maybe, but...is it really that much of a coincidence?"

Wu Tongyue expressed doubt.

“Whether it’s a coincidence or not,” Wu Tongnian asked, “the connection to the front carriage failed?”

"It failed. You can tell by feeling the car's current speed."

Wu Tongyue said, "'Mechanical Enemy' is useful, but it can't be fired in quick succession. So many guards surrounded me, which wasted my time. By the time I dealt with them, the train was already out of sight."

"Damn it! Did we get tricked, or not?"

Wu Tongnian couldn't help but curse.

If they were tricked, they had already obtained the fantasy material, and their sister had the tool to guide them to the location. Even if they jumped off the train now, they could still successfully land near Star Memory City.

To say that I wasn't outmaneuvered... that's just too much of a coincidence!

He was a little confused.

"Forget about the calculations for now," Fan Xiao said. "What do we do now? Without proper traction, these carriages will derail and fly off the tracks sooner or later, landing somewhere unknown. How will we get out of there?"

In fact, judging from the wish he made, he could jump out of the car and land in Star Memory City without worrying about getting lost or encountering spacetime turbulence.

However, only he knew about this matter, so he still had to show the concern he should have on the surface.

“Speaking of which,” Fan Xiao looked at Wu Tongyue and asked, “you were able to escape unharmed after jumping from the car last time. Did you have some special means?”

"Hehe...you guessed right! Leave the leaving to me, you don't need to worry about that."

Wu Tongyue nodded, admitting it directly.

Then, she suddenly sighed and said in a rather regretful tone, "This mission can be considered a success."

"Then why the hell are you sighing?" Wu Tongnian couldn't help but say rudely, "You're not happy now that you've succeeded, are you? How shameless!"

"What do you, a mere mortal, know!"

Wu Tongyue glared at him and said, "Is the focus of this operation to rob the goods? No! The focus is on the artistic competition."

"Without that batch of 'materials' on the truck, what's the point of competing now!"

“It is indeed a pity,” Fan Xiao said with a frown. “I was planning to decorate the torn chest cavities with the white brain matter of those people, creating a flower of death with blood petals and white stamens. It’s such a waste.”

"Oh? That's a very creative idea." Wu Tongyue nodded in approval. "I'm planning to cut off different parts of most people and then piece them together to create a complete body... I wonder who wins in terms of creativity?"

“I’ll definitely win!” Fan Xiao commented, “Your idea is so obviously plagiarized. I’ve seen it in novels and I’ve encountered it in real life.”
