Embers of Embers

Chapter 181
The train roared, passing over the pale earth.
The icy cold wind brought sharp snowflakes down. Seliu wrapped his clothes tightly and looked at the demon hunter beside him with complicated eyes.
Lorenzo looked at the time one last time and saw that it was not too late.
Panting slightly, the secret blood is proliferating in the body, healing those wounds.
Maybe it was because of the cruelty of the atrocities just now, Seleu can still recall that terrible scene. She ignored Lorenzo, and Lorenzo ignored her. In the cold wind, the two remained silent.
Looking into the distance, heavy snow is flying, and the vast white snow covers everything, like a white ocean.
Now is the coldest time in the north of Inverg, with low-temperature winds raging, rolling up snowflakes and covering the surface of the train with ice crystals.
According to time calculation, the train has already left Old Dunling for dozens of kilometers at this moment. The tall trees are covered with white snow. The place is inaccessible and the only living animals that can move here are those natural predators.
"Come on, Seleu."
Lorenzo said, he seemed to signal Seliu to come closer to him, but before Seliu could react, Lorenzo directly picked her up. The blood on her body had been frozen and had a faint fishy smell.
"It's coming."
The sound rang in my ears, followed by a longer whistle from behind the snow curtain, like the low cry of a giant whale.
train?Another train?
Seliu thought this in his mind, and then the turbulent snow curtain turned dark gray.
boom--!
The dark steel broke through the thick snow curtain, the heavy mechanical bites and rotated, and the scattered steam blended into the surrounding snow curtain, as if it was carrying a slender white line, like a monster in a story, rushing out of the imprisoned books .
The road it followed was covered with snow, causing snow waves several people high.
It was a pitch-black train. Different from ordinary trains, it was a bit larger overall and completely covered in pitch-black metal, like a python wandering on the earth.
This reminded Lorenzo of the Glorious, that armed train modified by the purge agency. The train that suddenly appeared in front of him was similar to it, except that it was mainly responsible for transporting cargo.
"The line beneath our feet is just a cover."
Lorenzo explained to Seleu.
"It won't reach the true 'north', it will stop at a new town dozens of kilometers away, and that train will take us to the true north."
This is the real transport line.
"The Dean Lawrence joined forces with the remnants. The best way to avoid their pursuit is to have no plan. Obviously, they failed to keep up with my thoughts. Otherwise, it would not be those few trash fish who were waiting for me just now."
"So your kidnapping was also impromptu?"
"... At least it did disrupt their plans."
Lorenzo didn't answer Seleu's words directly.
Of course, the most important thing Lorenzo didn't say was that Dean Lawrence's weird [gap] shuttle would have the greatest effect in the crowd.
This is why Lorenzo suddenly wanted to take Seleu away and get rid of everyone. He had to stay away from crowded places.
At that time, Dean Lawrence could not use other people as a springboard to invade. When there were only Lorenzo and Seleu within a few kilometers, he had only two choices, either to directly erode Seleu, or find a way to kill himself first.
Seliu nodded in understanding.
"Then...what's next?"
"transfer."
Lorenzo said.
"transfer?"
Seleucid was obviously confused, but before she could ask the question, Lorenzo picked her up by the waist and then popped her out like a cannonball.
First there was a fleeting scene, and then there was the strong wind ringing in my ears.
Seliu instinctively grasped Lorenzo tightly, and out of the corner of his vision he saw the approaching earth.
The next second, the two of them fell directly into the snow, stirring up a flurry of snowflakes. Lorenzo had no time to stop. The moment he landed, he started running wildly, showing his physical strength beyond ordinary people at a very fast speed.
Only then did Seleu understand what the so-called car change was about. This demon hunter was really simple in some aspects.
But then a strange feeling arose...
She actually found it very interesting, just like riding a magical pony, running happily on the snow. The only difference was that this magical pony could bite people's heads in one bite.
But Lorenzo obviously didn't understand what this girl was thinking.
The demon hunter galloped all the way, and chose to attack at the nearest place where the trains intersected. This may be unbelievable to ordinary people, but to the demon hunter, it is still within the operable range. The sharp folding knife got stuck between the gaps in the car body, and with the help of Lorenzo, he climbed onto the train, and finally stopped at the junction of the two carriages.
"All right."
Lorenzo said and put down Seleu, and the girl carefully stood on the steel to prevent herself from accidentally falling.
"Damn it! What's going on?"
While the girl was still staring at the sleepers flying by under her feet, Lorenzo cursed, this demon hunter looked very violent.
The key was inserted into the door lock, but probably due to the low temperature, the internal structure was frozen to death. Lorenzo punched it hard several times before the car door slowly opened.
It's cold and windy outside, but warm as spring inside.
"Get some rest first, the journey is still long."
Lorenzo closed the iron door, blocking out all the cold.
Seliu looked at the inside of the car. It was strange that the inside was like a warehouse, with goods piled in the four corners.
In Seliu's expectation, the security of this train related to important resources must be very tight, but now it was so easily used by Lorenzo, and there was no one inside to handle it.
Except for the faint sound of the engine, Seleu and Lorenzo seemed to be the only ones here. For some reason, she felt like it was like a coffin, a coffin speeding on the railroad tracks.
While the girl was still wondering, Lorenzo threw some bread towards her.
"Eat more. Only when you are full can you have the strength to work hard for me, right?"
Lorenzo changed from his previous indifference and smiled, which made Seleu feel a little uncomfortable.
"bread?"
Seleu couldn't figure it out, but then Lorenzo threw a blanket at her again.
The girl hugged the blanket and looked confused.
"And blankets?"
"Maybe they also find it a bit cold in the north."
Lorenzo fooled over casually. He looked very strange. He had been strange from the beginning, as if something was about to happen.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Seliu didn't ask any more questions. She sat in the corner, wrapped the blanket tightly, listened to the low voice, and waited for the ending to come.
The train moved forward quietly in the roaring snowstorm. Its trajectory was staggered from the previous train, and it kept heading north. Countless shadows followed closely behind it, making faint barking sounds, until it reached The end of that journey.
