AWB Chapter 243 Courage
Chapter 243 Courage
"What on earth did this monster do to them!?"
"Run! Get to the next carriage right away!"
"If we get caught, we're dead! How could such a thing exist!"
Bai Yuekui then picked up the little boy again and ran forward at breakneck speed, racing against time.
The people on the train started from the back and swept forward. Gradually, everyone began to flee. The security robots on the train tried to stop Number 19, but were directly smashed into scrap metal.
"Everyone, get out of here!"
"The security robots have all been destroyed by this monster, run!"
"Please let me through first, I have a child!"
"Child? Go to hell, use your child to feed it!"
A burly man raised his hand and threw the baby out of the woman's arms. The scene was so sudden that the man who had been filming tried to catch it, but seeing that the monster was already close at hand, his expression changed drastically and he stopped.
Number 19 appears to have been attacked and its energy depleted, and it has once again displayed a devouring posture.
At the critical moment, Bai Yuekui leaped forward and saved the baby.
They moved swiftly, dodging the monster's attacks as they fled to the next carriage.
"Roar!"
In the next carriage, the boxing girl grabbed the burly man who had just thrown the child. "Hey, big guy."
"?"
"Remember what you just did to that baby?"
"What?" the burly man said with a grim expression, "Judging from this, you want to stand up for them? Don't you know your own limitations? You're courting death..."
Before he could finish speaking, the boxing girl punched him in the face, sending him flying and landing in the back of the train car.
This scene startled everyone present, especially the uncle who had argued with her earlier during filming; he was terrified.
fortunately……
"You fucking bastard! I'm going to kill you!!"
The burly man got up and ran over, but the next moment, the boxing girl punched and shattered the glass of the fire hazard explosion-proof button. The explosion-proof glass between the carriages was opened, trapping the burly man outside.
Goodbye, you scumbag!
The burly man outside cursed angrily and kept banging on the light switch, trying to open the door, but naturally failed. A moment later, Number 19 appeared behind him...
The angry shouting stopped abruptly.
"Let's hurry to the next carriage; after all, this monster looks much more dangerous than a bomb."
"..."
At this point, only five people and an infant remained in the carriage. When they turned around, they discovered that the carriages behind them had been locked, and they were trapped here.
The carriages further back were deathly silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on them, but no one showed any intention of opening the doors.
At this moment, the fragility of human nature is once again on display...
boom!
Number 19 ate another person and started smashing the door. The terrifying force shattered the bulletproof glass, and it looked like it was about to break through completely.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man turned around, raised his hand to unbutton the collar of his shirt, and said, "Hehe, this little cutie has quite an appetite. All of us combined could probably make a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for it. Are you sure this door is made of special material?"
The boxing girl standing nearby retorted angrily, "Then you must be braised pork trotters! That's not funny at all! How should I know? I didn't make this door!"
Bai Yuekui tried to dissuade them, saying, "Everyone, stop arguing. Let's go to the back first, maybe we can..."
The middle-aged man remained unmoved. He already knew that the people behind him wouldn't open the door. He said, "Those people aren't as noble as you think. Not everyone is like you, risking your own life to save a baby and escorting that little boy all the way here. Go all the way, see this through to the end. I'll buy you some time. They... they're all counting on you!"
It turned out that he had also fallen behind and had naturally noticed Bai Yuekui's every move.
"How is this any different from suicide?!"
The boxing girl also tried to dissuade her, saying, "Hey! You pervert! What are you trying to prove?!"
"Stop talking!" The middle-aged man turned around, his expression not resolute, but rather a struggle to suppress his fear. "Hurry up and leave! Before I change my mind!"
Driven by fear and the instinct for survival, his legs trembled, and every cell in his body yearned to escape.
Seeing this, Bai Yuekui fell silent.
She understood the immense courage it took for a middle-aged man to make a decision under such desperate fear, and turned to lead the woman carrying the baby and the boy toward the back of the carriage.
The boxing girl didn't leave; she said, sweating profusely, "I'll stay too."
He then walked over to the middle-aged man and said, "Hey, you pervert, this 'ring' isn't just for you... I'm not going to let you steal all the limelight!"
"Tch, you gossip, you really never change your ways and always love to join in the fun!"
"Back then, who told me to dislike you so much?"
"We have each other."
Despite being in dire straits, the two had just met, but at this moment they were talking as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.
boom! Boom boom!
click...
The explosion-proof door gradually cracked.
"Gulu..."
The boxing girl swallowed hard and said in a trembling voice, "Thinking about it suddenly... it feels a bit ironic. We were locked up here by those selfish bastards, and now we're the ones protecting them."
The middle-aged man, however, was remarkably clear-headed. He said, "I'm not surprised at all by our current situation. You see, human nature is inherently selfish. It's just a matter of oscillating between self-interest and altruism. In peaceful environments, it's fine, but when disaster threatens us, driven by the instinct for survival, everyone will act selfishly to protect themselves."
"They've become numb, cold-blooded, selfish, and even... it's not surprising that they'd sacrifice others without hesitation. It's laughable, really, but if I were behind that door, I'd definitely make the same choice..."
"..."
The middle-aged man recalled how Bai Yuekui had almost risked her life to save the baby, while he had hesitated. This greatly shocked him and strengthened his resolve to make this decision. He continued, "But today, I realized I was wrong. There really are people who would risk their lives for the safety of others. Cowardice, timidity, indifference... Compared to her, I, who have lived most of my life, am simply a joke."
At this moment, Bai Yuekui was banging on the door with a fire extinguisher, but the material of the explosion-proof door was not something that ordinary human strength could shake, and the sound of banging on the door continued.
The middle-aged man continued, "Although she seems somewhat reckless and acts without considering the consequences, she dares to fight against the judgment of the world. Even when faced with dire straits, she did not yield. I can see the radiance emanating from her. I hope to live like her, even if only once. If not... then I am willing to give everything to let this light shine!"
Boom! !
The blast door was completely ripped open, and Number 19's figure seemed to swell several times larger as he surged forward.
"Roar!!"
The two were killed without any suspense. The boxing girl was eaten, while the middle-aged man was directly eroded by spore cells and turned into a mass of flesh and blood plants.
Dead silence...
At one moment, the surrounding air froze, and the train traveling at over 100 kilometers per hour came to a stop on the tracks.
The rain in the sky stopped, and the writhing monster fell silent. The whole world seemed to have been paused, and all was quiet.
The sudden silence, so quiet that he could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat, startled Bai Yuekui awake. He stopped banging on the door and turned to look.
His pupils dilated in shock as a figure appeared before the monster.
With a flick of his hand, a faint blue light was drawn from the monster and the middle-aged man who had been turned into a strange plant.
But the monster did not react at all.
Startled, Bai Yuekui turned to look at the little boy, woman, and baby beside him, and found that they were all seemingly frozen in place, unable to move.
Looking out of the train, both the train and the rain had stopped, as if the whole world had come to a standstill!
What's this?!
