Chapter 180 Train Town

When the torpedo landing capsule descended to a certain level, the small thruster at the bottom suddenly spurted out flames, slowing down the falling speed of the capsule.

Boom——

The landing capsule fell to the ground, splashing dust.

Several mutant coyotes noticed the strange object that suddenly appeared. They crouched down, drooling, and quietly approached the landing capsule.

In this wilderness, few scavengers can escape the pursuit of mutant coyotes.

After a while, the hatch was unlocked and slowly opened.

The head wolf smelled the aroma of fresh meat, and it bared its fangs and pounced in.

Aww~

The next moment, the head wolf screamed and flew out, falling several meters away.

The people in the cabin kicked it out fiercely.

The head wolf climbed up and looked seriously injured. A small piece of its nose collapsed and several teeth fell out.

It was very angry.

No human scavenger dared to hurt itself like this!

The head wolf summoned his companions to attack together.

However, when the mutant hyenas rushed to the hatch, several laser beams shot out from the cabin, killing them one by one.

Half of the head of the wolf leader was burned black by the hot beams, and it fell to the ground with a whimper.

A missionary saint wearing a gray and white hooded robe walked out of the cabin. He lifted his hood to reveal his bald head with sacred runes.

The missionary saint was named Fran.

He was one of the most pious and outstanding saints in the Holy City of Eredar.

The tribe had high hopes for him and firmly believed that he could be guided by the Holy Book and spread the glory of the savior to more distant galaxies.

Fran held the Holy Book of Redemption against his chest and looked at the towering steel nest in the distance.

That was the main nest of Mattila, his missionary place.

Fran took out the auspicious instrument and measured the distance to the nest.

Although the nest was close at hand, it was actually at least two thousand kilometers away from him.

There was no way.

In order to avoid the orbital defense system and the defense array of the hive city, their landing capsule can only land at a far distance.

Without interfering with or destroying the defense system, the landing capsule has no way to get close to the hive city.

Artillery fire will tear the landing capsule into pieces.

Eight hundred missionary saints from the Holy City are scattered in the desolate areas of the planet like Fran.

Fran returned to the landing capsule and carried the satchel given by the Holy City on his back.

The bag contained a small water collection device, compressed food, and several missionary and survival tools.

After that, Fran removed the hatch and made it into a simple iron raft.

Then he used a blade to cut the meat from the mutant coyote and piled it on the iron raft.

After preparing everything, he dragged the iron raft towards the hive city.

This is a difficult journey.

Fran must cross nearly 2,000 kilometers of desolate areas to reach the suburbs of the hive city, and then find a way to sneak into the hive city and spread the faith of the savior.

This takes a long time.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time.

He looked at the nest far away, his eyes revealing a hint of fanaticism:

"Eight years later, the savior will come to this world and save the people in suffering!"

As soon as Fran walked a short distance, more mutant coyotes were attracted by the smell of blood and gathered around the landing capsule.

After Fran left, the landing capsule activated the self-destruct device.

When it detected more threats approaching, it exploded violently, and the fragments killed and injured many mutant coyotes.

The mutant coyotes were frightened and scattered.

...

Hiss!

The gray-black snake showed its fangs and waited for an opportunity to attack.

However, the next second, it was stabbed by a sharp dagger.

"Savior, thank you for your gift!"

Fran grabbed the big snake and was very excited.

This venomous snake can provide him with precious water and protein.

Fran cut off the snake's head and drank the snake's blood.

Relieve hunger and thirst.

There are several scars on his face and many scars on his body.

After months of traveling in the wilderness, he suffered many injuries from multiple monster attacks and the harsh environment.

If he were an ordinary human, it would be impossible to survive in the wilderness for so long.

The radioactive environment and the food carrying parasites alone are enough to kill any unmodified human.

However, Fran is different.

He is an Eredar.

Although the Eredar are defined as a sub-human race by Ron, they are actually the descendants of thieves and contain some genes of the Tyranids.

This gives the Eredar stronger physical strength and survival ability.

Moreover, the nano-silicon-based covering provides a lot of protection for the saints.

For example, it can isolate radiation, store heat, and even absorb trace amounts of moisture from the air.

Even so, Fran was exhausted from the long journey.

If he couldn't find a human community again, his life might be in danger.

When Fran was worried, the ground shook slightly.

Gradually, the shaking became more intense, and the gravel on the ground bounced.

Woo——

With the long whistle, Fran saw a mechanical train as high as four or five meters, like a huge steel dragon, coming from a distance and heading towards the hive city.

That was Mattila's Titan train, responsible for transporting supplies or soldiers between hive cities.

"Praise the Savior!"

Fran ran madly towards the Titan train. As long as he got on the train, he could go to the hive city at a faster speed!

However, his speed was still a little slow.

The Titan train passed by at high speed, and the airflow field formed blew him away, leaving only thick black smoke.

Fran was not discouraged, and he did not even feel angry or regretful for missing the opportunity.

Saints are always so tenacious and peaceful, no matter how many times they fail or face life threats.

With the support of faith, they can go on fearlessly and dedicate everything to the savior.

Fran climbed up and continued to move forward along the direction of the railroad.

He believed that as long as he walked along the direction of the railroad, he would definitely find a human community.

After all, the train needs to be replenished along the way.

When he finds the replenishment point, he will have the opportunity to hide in the train and enter the hive with the help of the train.

…

Train Town.

This is a small town far away from the hive in the wilderness.

The town has a population of tens of thousands.

As a maintenance point for Titan trains, the town makes a living by providing services for Titan trains.

Those maintenance workers only need to board the parked Titan trains and check any safety problems that may occur on the trains with the technical priests.

Then carry out maintenance and protection.

According to a simple cooperation agreement, the residents of the town must provide maintenance services for Titan trains.

The Titan train will provide them with water, some food and fuel cells.

These resources are key to keeping the town running.

However, as rebels everywhere destroyed the railroad tracks, the intervals between the Titan trains' arrival became longer and longer.

The resources in the town gradually became scarce.

People can get food by hunting in the wilderness, but they can hardly solve the problem of water shortage.

The water source in the town is seriously polluted, and drinking it will make them sick. They must rely on the water provided by the Hive Water Purification Association to survive.

Although the water quality of the water transported by the Water Purification Association through the Titan train is getting worse and worse, turbid and sour, it can sustain life.

However, the Titan trains come less and less frequently, and the people in the train town are thirsty and look forward to the arrival of the train.

Now, the Titan train has finally arrived.

The maintenance workers in the town boarded the train excitedly, but were told by the Water Purification Association that their water supply agreement had been stopped.

In other words, the people in the town have lost the precious water source on which they depend for survival...
