Chapter 161: Hello

"This Han Meng is also quite interesting."

Bai Ye looked in surprise at the figure who had single-handedly blockaded the city wall. "Is it possible..."

"Impossible," Chu Muyun interrupted him directly.

"But he clearly already questioned Aurora City, why is it impossible?"

"His questioning of Aurora City is precisely what proves he won't join us. In the heart of such a person, there is a path he adheres to... I know him. The path of the Twilight Society is different from his path; he will not join."

"...Alright," Bai Ye shrugged. "Then he can only wait to be dragged to the judgment court... It's a pity for such a good seed."

Just as the two were speaking, Han Meng had completely imprisoned the three Five-Strip Enforcers. Black chains were wrapped around them, and their domains were also suppressed by Han Meng. They looked angrily at the black-clad figure walking over, their eyes almost spitting fire.

They struggled continuously, and fine cracks began to spread on the black chains. It seemed that it wouldn't take long before they could shatter them and break free.

Han Meng naturally saw this scene, but he didn't continue to attack. He knew that these three were Enforcers of the same rank as him; even if he were more powerful, it would be no easy task to beat all three into a state of complete loss of resistance. Being able to temporarily lock their movements with [Judgment of the Seven Sins] was enough.

He only needed to delay for a few dozen seconds, at most a minute, for the train to enter the city, while Han Meng had to conserve his strength as much as possible...

Because he knew that the key to whether that train could enter the city did not lie with these three Five-Strip Enforcers.

If Aurora City was truly determined to destroy that train, they would continue to send people. If Five-Strip wasn't enough, they would send Six-Strip, or even... Seven-Strip.

Han Meng held his gun and sat down on the inner edge of the city wall, his tattered black windbreaker fluttering lightly in the wind. He looked toward the direction of headquarters, his calm gaze hiding a determination that even a blizzard couldn't destroy;

His actions, his gaze, were as if he were telling everyone at the city gate and even within headquarters...

Today, no matter who wants to approach this door, they must first step over his corpse.

……

Aurora City, Enforcer Headquarters.

"How is the situation in the city?" Chu Shiduo hurried back to headquarters and asked.

"Not very good," an enforcer greeted him and replied with a grave expression. "The impact of public opinion is even more serious than we imagined. After that train spoke out, most of the residents on the southwest side joined the protest ranks. Currently, thousands of citizens have gathered near the city gate, demanding that we let the train into the city."

"Besides that, people from the 'Aurora Daily' are also on the city wall, and it seems they have had a dispute with our Enforcers. If we don't let that train into the city, I'm afraid tomorrow's entire issue of the 'Aurora Daily' will be articles scolding us..."

"Even within our own enforcer ranks, a large number of people feel we should let them into the city..."

Hearing this, Chu Shiduo's pace quickened a bit more. He frowned and analyzed calmly:

"If we really destroy that train outside the city, the terrible impact will likely far exceed expectations... If someone is fanning the flames in the dark, I'm afraid the entire Aurora City will fall into chaos... No, I must go see the teacher now!"

Chu Shiduo's figure passed through several corridors and arrived at the door of the tea room. After knocking twice, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Teacher! Regarding that train..."

Before Chu Shiduo could finish speaking, [Tan Xin] glanced at him faintly. Beside him lay a communicator.

"Teacher, do you already know about the situation outside?" Chu Shiduo asked immediately.

"Hmm," [Tan Xin] sipped his tea. "What do you think?"

"I think we should let the train into the city," Chu Shiduo replied seriously. "Even if the situation outside the city brought by the citizens on that train might trigger panic within the city, this panic is not uncontrollable. Moreover, as long as it is properly supervised, these people might not necessarily become rebels in the future... But if we don't let them into the city, the consequences will be a hundred times worse than this."

"Not bad," [Tan Xin] nodded slightly.

"Teacher, do you also feel we should let them into the city? Then why have you been delaying the order?"

"What's the rush," [Tan Xin] said unhurriedly. "Han Meng has already subdued those Enforcers at the city gate and controlled that gate. Whether I give the order or not, the result is the same."

"Han Meng?" Chu Shiduo was stunned for a moment. "He subdued those Enforcers? Isn't he..."

"That is no longer important."

[Tan Xin] swirled the tea in his cup, his gaze seemingly piercing through the void to look at the train rushing in from outside the city,

"That Chen Ling really has some ability... I'm curious, what kind of act is he trying to put on by going to such lengths to enter Aurora City?"

……

"It's Chief Han Meng! Chief Han Meng has made a move!!"

On the roaring train, many residents saw the scene of Han Meng suppressing the three Enforcers, and joy appeared on their faces!

Just a moment ago, they were still trembling under the pressure released by the Enforcers, almost thinking they were dead for sure. As a result, Han Meng's sudden appearance gave them another glimmer of life... Now, as the distance between the train and the city gate grew shorter, everyone's hearts rose as well.

They looked through the carriage windows at that magnificent and towering city gate, their palms sweating with nervousness...

In the control room, Chen Ling looked at the figure sitting on the back of the city wall, his mouth curling up slightly;

He knew he had gambled correctly.

"Owe him another favor..." Chen Ling muttered to himself.

"What did you say?" Zhao Yi turned his head.

"Nothing, speed up."

Chen Ling returned to the top of the locomotive, looking at the rapidly approaching city gate. The roaring whistle sounded from the chimney behind him, echoing through the sky.

Hum, hum, hum—!!

The blood-colored coat danced wildly in the cold wind. Chen Ling pulled out his gun and aimed it forward, light flickering in his eyes.

Whether they could successfully enter the city depended on this final step.

Two kilometers, one kilometer, seven hundred meters, four hundred meters, two hundred meters...

No one else made a move to stop them. Amidst the clanging of the wheels, flames rolled, and the locomotive split the air, squeezing it to both sides crazily, tearing a hideous gap through the wind and snow.

"Everyone! Hold on tight!!"

Zhao Yi shouted in the control room, then pushed his withered hand forward while subconsciously closing his eyes!

Everyone in the carriage immediately grabbed everything they could, curling their bodies into balls. Their hearts beat frantically, and every cell in their bodies was waiting for the final impact!

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

That tall and sturdy city gate rapidly enlarged in Chen Ling's pupils. His hair was blown up by the gale. The moment the two were about to collide, Chen Ling pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Hello... Aurora City," he muttered to himself.
