Human Shackles - Chapter83

Logically speaking, Luo Kai shouldn't be able to see this, but he did. The unwillingness and hatred contained within the gray fog even actively tried to reach some sort of resonance with his consciousness.

"Boom!"

Another violent explosion rang out, and a mountain top above collapsed with a loud bang. Countless rocks formed a huge wave of smoke and dust that swept down.

Luo Kai's expression changed greatly. There were still some survivors in the carriage, but once the debris fell, there was no chance of survival.

This was a premeditated attack. First, the other party blew up the tracks and then triggered the debris flow, vowing to annihilate all the thousands of soldiers. The cruelty of war was already apparent before he even arrived at the battlefield.

And he couldn't change anything by himself. He could only carry Big Bear on his shoulder and climb up the other side of the mountain. Just as he moved, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end. The sense of crisis once again came from the bottom of his heart. He instinctively twisted his body, and with a whoosh, a bullet streaked past his side.

Luo Kai took a deep breath. His chest heaved up and down violently like a bellows. The speed of his blood and Qi circulation was adjusted to the peak. His entire body was suffused with a strange red color. The trajectory of the bullet was clearly captured by him, and he dodged it again by a hair's breadth.

The ravine was extremely steep, and not only did he have to carry a seventy or eighty kilogram strong man on his back, he also had to dodge the sniper's attack.

On the mountain top more than two thousand meters away from Luo Kai, five people wearing short gray robes and carrying swords and guns on their backs looked down indifferently. One of them was half-squatting on the ground with a long gun in his hand. After firing three consecutive shots, he gave up and said, "The other party is very strong. The bullets can't hit him."

"Should we go and kill him?" A thin man asked.

The leader was a middle-aged man with somewhat white eyebrows. His eyes were very strange. His vertical pupils were extremely small, like a pair of eagle's eyes. They were incomparably sharp and looked straight at Luo Kai.

At this time, Luo Kai had already climbed to the top of the mountain. He put Big Bear under a big rock and stood on the big rock, looking coldly at the top of the mountain. Their gazes collided across thousands of meters, immediately bursting with fighting spirit.

The white-browed man sneered and made a throat-slitting gesture towards Luo Kai. Then he turned his head and said, "The mission has been completed. Don't cause any more trouble. Retreat."

…

The feeling of being watched disappeared. Luo Kai knew that the attackers had retreated. He was relieved. He wasn't very afraid. In this vast world, even if he couldn't beat them, he could still escape. However, Big Bear's life might not be saved.

Turning back to look down, he saw that the train had been buried under countless mud and rocks. The gray fog that filled the air was getting thicker and thicker, and the negative emotions that it carried were also getting thicker. His consciousness had only made slight contact with it, and it immediately formed a gray vortex. Countless frequencies that were filled with resentment fought to resonate with him, and some even swarmed toward him. This caused him to be filled with endless resentment, and the urge to kill all living things once again surged through him.

Luo Kai groaned and forcibly cut off the frequency resonance. The gray fog around him quickly dissipated, and his consciousness returned to normal. He sat on the ground and gasped for breath. This feeling was too terrifying. If the water frequency was compared to gentle family and love, then the negative emotions frequency was full of tyrannical killing and destruction.

After a while, it began to drizzle. Soon, the whole world was shrouded in a hazy drizzle. The gentle rain seemed to have sensed the restlessness of Luo Kai's body and mind, gently surrounding him and comforting him.

Luo Kai's thoughts gradually calmed down. Looking at the rain surrounding him, he suddenly thought of something strange. In his previous life, whenever there were major disasters in some areas, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, once there were serious casualties, it would rain the next day or the next day. This strange natural phenomenon had always puzzled human scientists.

Now he finally knew the reason. It was because the negative emotions after the death of the dead triggered the water frequency, resulting in this natural phenomenon. As for why this phenomenon didn't happen on the battlefield, it was very likely that it was absorbed by someone.

Li Gui once said that this negative emotion was called Evil Spirit. It belonged to the dark matter unknown to mankind. The Beijing University of Dongyuan seemed to have a lot of research on this matter. If he had time, he should go and listen.

Next to him, Da Xiong coughed violently and woke up in a daze. This guy was lucky. Only his sternum was broken and his lung was pressed. Although the injury was serious, his life was not in danger.

At first, he looked around in confusion. Then he thought of what had happened and asked Luo Kai in shock, "What happened? Where's the train?"

Luo Kai pointed down and said, "It's gone."

Da Xiong looked down and saw that the whole train was buried by mud and rocks. He could only see blood and corpses thrown out of the carriages. He immediately became sluggish and murmured, "They're all dead …"

Luo Kai sighed and noticed that the tunnel entrance was also buried by collapsed stones. He vaguely remembered that there had been an explosion in the tunnel and many carriages were buried. The casualties in the tunnel might be more serious. He said to Da Xiong, "You rest here first. I'll go to the tunnel and have a look."

Da Xiong did not answer him and still repeated the same sentence. Obviously, this incident had hit him hard and made him realize the cruelty of war for the first time.

The slope was very steep. Luo Kai jumped up and down like a monkey. First, he walked around the ravine below. His ears kept twitching as he searched for possible survivors. After walking around for two rounds, he found nothing. Then, he climbed toward the tunnel.

The tunnel entrance was buried by collapsed stones. It was very difficult to dig out a passage by manpower alone. After hesitating, he took a deep breath and slightly stimulated his heartbeat. His consciousness came out of his body, trying to detect the situation inside. However, the resistance of the hard rocks was far greater than that of ordinary buildings. He could only penetrate about five or six meters. The specific situation inside was impossible to know.

He had no choice but to start moving the stones. This work was heavy and long. He dug until dark before he cleared out the big stones at the entrance of the tunnel. He found some military compressed rations to eat and continued to work.

After an unknown period of time, his muscles and bones were a little sore. Just as he was about to give up, he vaguely saw a trace of metal on the body of the train. At the same time, he heard a groan and gasp in his ears. He immediately became spirited. There were still people alive. He stimulated his heartbeat and worked hard to dig.

After a while, a rustling sound came to his ears. It seemed that someone was digging inside. Soon, a narrow gap was dug out. A figure covered in smoke and dust came out. He first gasped for breath for a while and then said to Luo Kai, "Why are you digging alone? Go and call for help!"

Luo Kai saw the emblem on his shoulder. It was two bars and one star. The military rank was major. He shook his head and said, "There's no one else."

The major was stunned. He pointed outside with a trembling finger and asked, "Are they all dead?"

Luo Kai nodded and said, "The train derailed and fell into a gully. Then it was buried by a mudslide. Except for me and a seriously injured person, everyone else is dead."

The major was stunned for a moment. He gritted his teeth and said, "It must be the work of the Secret Service of the Nanzhao Kingdom!"

Luo Kai sighed and said, "We'll talk about this later. Hurry up and find a way to save people. How are the casualties inside?"

"I don't know. There are still a few survivors in my carriage. Let's hurry up and dig."

The two of them continued to expand the hole. They got in and moved the bodies outside one by one. Most of them died from lack of oxygen. Some were crushed to death by the rubble.
