82: Chapter 82 The Entire Server Shocked

"We lose several brothers just trying to repair a broken section of track, and we spend every day terrified that our train will derail and flip over, yet Big Brother Su Chen just went and removed his wheels to fly in the sky?"

"How the hell are we supposed to play like this? We're still struggling along playing house with Steam Age railway tracks, while he's already driving an interstellar warship to conduct a full-scale dimensional strike against us!"

"Waaaah, Daddy Su Chen, does your hover train need a deckhand? I'm willing to bring my own food and work for you for free for the rest of my life, just for the chance to experience what it's like to fly!"

It wasn't just the bottom-tier players who fell into a frenzy of self-doubt; even those top-tier player leaders who occupied various regions, fancied themselves as overlords, and possessed well-equipped armed train fleets were now ashen-faced, with some even crushing the wine glasses they were using to celebrate surviving the Blood Moon crisis into fragments.

Their pride in armor thickness and artillery range seemed laughable before such a highly mobile hover vehicle that could completely ignore terrain and deliver precise physical annihilation from ten thousand meters in the air, much like a primitive man holding a wooden stick trying to challenge an intercontinental missile.

"Just what kind of outrageous cheat is this man named Su Chen using?!"

At this very moment, a deep sense of powerlessness and absolute admiration arose in the hearts of all survivors across the world.

And just as the whole world was in a frenzy over these three announcements, the [abyss roarer], the center of the storm, was undergoing a magnificent physical transformation, like an ancient steel beast breaking out of its cocoon to become a butterfly.

Beneath the dark gold composite armor plates, which were dozens of centimeters thick at the bottom of the train, came a scalp-tingling sound of intense mechanical restructuring, like countless precision gears interlocking.

Those massive, high-strength steel wheels, originally weighing tens of tons and used to support the immense weight of the train body on the tracks, were now, under the pull of some mysterious magnetic field, beginning an incredible folding and retraction process.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of metal friction, these thick axles and wheels were perfectly retracted into hidden armor compartments preset in the chassis, and the entire bottom of the train instantly became as smooth as a mirror.

Following that, on both sides of the smooth chassis, layers of dark gold scale-like armor slowly flipped outward, revealing rows of anti-gravity engine thrusters with exaggerated designs, full of extreme sci-fi violent aesthetics.

Inside these thrusters were engraved countless glowing ancient formation circuits, which, the moment they contacted the core energy, immediately began to spin and preheat frantically.

"Boom—!"

Accompanied by an ear-piercing engine roar that could pierce the clouds, sounding like a dragon's roar from the nine heavens, those deep blue thrusters suddenly spewed out thick, high-purity anti-gravity particle streams containing terrifying repulsive force.

When these azure particle streams slammed into the hard rocky ground in front of the Scarlet Fortress, the surrounding air was instantly distorted by extreme heat and pressure, and a visible ring of white shockwaves swept outward like a tsunami.

Amidst the uncontrollable, incredulous, and extremely shocked screams of all the girls on the train, this invincible steel beast, with a total weight of thousands of tons, had actually completely defied Newton's inviolable law of universal gravitation!

Its massive and heavy body, supported by the deep blue flames, accompanied by a slight tremor, slowly but firmly detached from the cold wasteland tracks that had constrained it for so long.

One meter, three meters, five meters... until this armed train, radiating a dark gold luster, was steadily hovering in mid-air a full ten meters above the ground!

In the second-floor panoramic living area, the girls, who had been on high alert, all felt a brief but incredibly wondrous sense of weightlessness the moment the train lifted off.

"Eek—!"

The soft and cute Lin Momo let out a dainty cry of surprise; her petite body uncontrollably floated slightly off the ground, scaring her into quickly reaching out and holding onto the sturdy leather sofa armrest next to her for dear life.

Su Xiaoxiao's exquisite little face was full of unconcealable ecstasy and shock. She pushed up the black-rimmed glasses that had slipped down her nose due to the vibration and pressed herself directly against the huge panoramic explosion-proof glass, staring blankly at the wasteland ground below, which was getting further and further away.

"Oh my goodness, our train... our train has really grown wings and flown!"

Chu Qingxue, who was always as cold as frost and could remain calm even if Mount Tai crumbled before her, now had unprecedented, violent ripples in her ice-blue eyes. She clenched her pink fists tightly, feeling that magical perspective of being above all things.

And Chief Mechanic Ye Qingyu, who had always been obsessed with various mechanical creations, had completely abandoned her tsundere, aloof persona, and was as excited as a little girl who had just received the most precious toy in the world.

She pressed herself against the glass window, completely unconcerned with her image, her bright, large eyes staring fixedly at the anti-gravity engines at the bottom of the train that were spewing azure flames, tears of excitement even welling up in her eyes.

"An absolutely perfect energy conversion rate, flawless magnetic repulsion confinement—this is the ultimate miracle of the combination of mechanics and ancient laws!"

Ye Qingyu muttered to herself while crying and laughing, hitting the glass forcefully with her hand. She knew that she was witnessing the birth of a mechanical legend that would completely rewrite the history of human vehicle development.

Zhang Man excitedly waved her fist, encased in the valkyrie exoskeleton armor - modified. Her wild little face was full of fanatical fighting spirit; she couldn't wait to drive this flying warship into the nests of those high-level monsters and go on a rampage.

Su Chen, having just walked out of the master bedroom, felt the unique stability and lightness of hovering in mid-air under his feet. On his handsome, cold face, a domineering smile filled with endless heroism and wild ambition finally bloomed.

He strode to the very center of the panoramic cockpit, hands behind his back, and through the wide view, looked down at the scarred yet vast wasteland world below like a true God King of the Heavenly Realm.

"From this moment on, no swamp, broken bridge, or cliff will ever be able to block my path."

Su Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried an absolute self-confidence and arrogance capable of making heaven and earth submit.

"Ling Yi, immediately cut all navigation docking programs with the tracks and transfer all power system energy to the hover engine modules!"

"Yes, my supreme master. The hover modules have reached one hundred percent operating power. Please issue navigation instructions."

Ling Yi's cold, electronically synthesized voice seemed to be tinged with a hint of human excitement and fervor.

"Full speed ahead, target: Endless Wasteland!"

With Su Chen's heroic order, which sounded like an oracle, issued.

The rows of deep blue anti-gravity thrusters at the bottom of the train instantly erupted with a terrifying sonic boom ten times more ear-piercing than before, and the flames they spewed turned directly from blue to an extremely high-temperature scorching white!

"Rumble—!!!"

Without the hindrance of the massive physical friction of the tracks, this armed train, hovering in mid-air, instantly displayed a terrifying mobility that made one's soul tremble the moment it burst forth.

Under the horrified gaze of the blood clan guards on the walls of the Scarlet Fortress, who looked as if they had seen a ghost.

This steel monster, weighing thousands of tons, took less than two seconds to go from a standstill to a terrifying speed that broke the sound barrier!

"Bang!"

A perfect umbrella-shaped white sonic boom cloud exploded in front of the train's dragon-like, ferocious head, and the massive shockwave directly shattered the mutant vampire bats within a few hundred meters into clusters of bursting blood mist.

The [abyss roarer] transformed into a streak of dark gold lightning that could not be captured by the naked eye, flying low over the ground at an ultra-low altitude of just ten meters, heading towards the boundless wasteland ahead with a violent, unstoppable posture!

The terrifying hurricane whipped up by the supersonic flight was like a huge, invisible sickle, brutally tearing everything in the train's path—rocks, dead trees, and abandoned building wreckage—into debris flying all over the sky.

In a toxic swamp about dozens of kilometers ahead.

An exploration team composed of a dozen ordinary players was deep in the mud, despairingly facing the siege of several huge, foul-smelling, silver-tier toxic swamp crocodiles.

"Captain, we've run out of bullets. I'm afraid we're all going to die in this damn place today!"

A young team member cried out in a breakdown, watching as the crocodile with its blood-red maw wide open was about to bite off his head.

However, at this desperate moment of life and death.

A terrifying sonic boom, like thunder rolling in from the nine heavens, suddenly surged from the end of the sky behind them.

Before they could even react to what that sound was.

A massive black shadow, radiating a dark gold luster and spewing blinding blue flames from its bottom, had already whistled past at supersonic speed, less than ten meters above their heads, carrying that suffocating sense of oppression!

That shadow was moving so fast that it only left an extremely blurry afterimage on their retinas.

Immediately following, a violent airflow comparable to a level-12 typhoon descended with a bang.

Those silver-tier toxic swamp crocodiles, which had been baring their fangs and claws and acting arrogant just a moment ago, didn't even have time to let out a scream before they were directly lifted into the air dozens of meters high by this terrifying flight hurricane, and then instantly shredded into a rain of blood by the sharp wind blades mixed within the gale.

The dozen or so survivors were pressed tightly into the mud by the airflow. They looked up, dumbfounded, at the dark gold streak of light quickly disappearing at the end of the horizon, each of them so terrified that they even forgot how to let their hearts beat.
