第一百一十一章 荒车大货队 -3
Bang! Bang!
嘭嘭！
Two explosions roared across the ground, and in an instant, one person from the shed district was reduced to scattered flesh on the earth.
两道爆炸声在地面炸响，棚区的一人瞬间变成了散落地面的血肉。
“Ridiculous—how dare they delude themselves into thinking they could beat us.”
“可笑，竟然妄想赢我们。”
A Li, from the Desert Cargo Fleet, turned his gaze to Zhao Qi.
荒车大货队的阿力看向赵启。
“Alright!”
“好咧！”
Zhao Qi smacked the back of the beast beneath him with the spine of his blade and charged forward.
赵启拿刀背在胯下野兽的屁股上一抽就冲了出去。
Seeing one of the few men who appeared to be the enemy leaders rushing straight for their shed master, several close allies of Shed Master Song immediately intervened to block him.
瞧见对方疑似首领的几人中的一人直冲己方棚主而来，跟宋棚主要好的几位立即冲上去拦截。
There was only one Chrono Weapon—if it was snatched away by the enemy, their side would be finished for good.
时序战器只有一把，若是被对方抢去，自己这边绝对会完蛋。
Clang! Sparks flew in all directions.
锵！火星四冒。
The triangular mark on Zhao Qi’s chest flickered, as red flames instantly erupted from his blade, cutting down the man charging at him.
赵启胸口三角形闪动，他的刀刃瞬间冒出红焰，一刀将迎来之人砍翻。
[I have offset 342.5 N.]
[我抵消了342.5N.]
“Not bad, looks like someone has offered up temporal sequences in a plea for mercy on your behalf.”
“不错嘛，有人为你们献上时序求饶对吧。“
Zhao Qi gave a sinister smile.
赵启森然一笑。
“You!”
“你！”
The other two men charging forward heard this and immediately caught on.
另两名冲来之人听到这话，立即悟到了什么。
“Are you sending those people to their deaths just to collect their temporal sequences?!”
“你们驱使那些人来送死，为的是收缴他们的时序？！”
“Exactly!”
“没错！”
Zhao Qi swung his blade. These two had decent martial skills, wielding iron staffs to exchange blows with him, but dread chilled their hearts—this Horse Bandit Cargo Fleet was even plotting for the temporal sequences of its own people.
赵启一刀挥出，这两人的武技不错，挥着铁棍跟他战在了一起，但他们心中却是胆寒，这荒车大货队，连自己人的时序也在惦记。
“You’re even scheming against your own…”
“你们竟然连自己人也…”
“This world will never be short of cargo fleets.”
“这个世界不会缺货队。”
Clang! Clang!
铛铛！
“There will always be new people coming, always those who desire immortality to join us, heh heh. Cleaning out the weak is absolutely necessary!”
“永远会有新的人来，永远会有新的想要长生之人加入我们，哼哼，清理软弱者是很有必要的事情啊！”
Bang! Bang! Two gunshots rang out.
砰砰！两道枪响。
Amidst the muzzle flash, the two men ahead were struck all over by the hail of iron-pellet bullets, one unable to evade, taking a hit to the eye. The moment he closed his eye, Zhao Qi’s greatsword had already fallen on his neck.
火光中，前方两人被这蓬铁珠子弹打得浑身靑疼，一人避之不及，眼珠被打，他闭眼的瞬间，赵启的大刀已经落在了脖子上。
“Haixiang!” the Shed Master, after pushing down the ones surrounding him from behind, saw this scene and immediately screamed hoarsely.
“海祥！”棚主在后方将围攻自己的人推倒后，瞧见这幕，立时声嘶力竭。
“Die!” Zhao Qi charged into the crowd on the massive beast beneath him.
“死吧！”赵启胯下巨兽冲撞人群冲来。
Seeing the entire blade of this weapon glowing red-gold within a flickering virtual flame, Shed Master Song felt utter despair.
瞧见这整个刀身都冒着金中带红虚焰的武器，宋棚主感觉到了彻底的绝望。
He already knew that this was the color that appeared only after the time-sequence enhancement exceeded ten thousand.
他已经知道，这是时序增幅超过一万之后才会有的颜色。
The man before him was an unmatched expert on this land.
眼前之人是这片土地上的绝顶强者。
“Shed Master Song! Flee now, avenge us later!”
“宋棚主！快逃，以后为我们报仇。”
The men beside him shouted angrily.
旁边几人怒喊道。
“Me? I… How can I flee!!”
“我，我啊！怎么能逃！！”
Shed Master Song’s chest flashed with four lines, tears welling in his eyes as he raised a long knife with a force of 10N per strike, charging at the giant beast and the shadow of the bandit astride it.
宋棚主胸前闪动着四根线条，他眼中热泪涌现，举起每击10N的长刀冲向巨兽，和巨兽上那道恶匪的身影。
[YangZicang invested 5000N in me]
[杨子藏为我投资5000N]
{Don’t refund me the time-sequence.}
{不要返还我时序。}
Shed Master Song, who had been running the financing model, heard a voice that sounded like an illusion.
一直展开融资模型的宋棚主听到了声像是幻觉的声音。
[I’ve suddenly received unexpected aid. I think this is what I urgently need. I should start using it immediately.]
[我忽然得到了意外的资助，我想这是我正急缺的，我应该立即开始运用它。]
Shed Master Song’s body trembled; snapping back to reality, he looked at the red blade nearing, and his body instantly glowed with a crimson light.
宋棚主的身体一颤，回过神的他看向近在咫尺的红色刀刃，身体瞬间发出红芒。
[For I am the Great Quadrilateral…]
[因为我是伟大的四边形…]
Boom!
轰隆！
Shed Master Song was blown away.
宋棚主被抽飞出去。
Zhao Qi’s blade dimmed in an instant; he stared incredulously at Shed Master Song, who had been knocked back by his swing.
赵启刀刃的红光霎时黯淡，他难以置信的看向被自己一刀拍飞的宋棚主。
“Urghhh! Damn it, my four-thousand-year time-sequence principal! You beast!”
“呃啊啊啊啊！该死啊，我的四千年时序本金！畜生！”
Zhao Qi charged forward like a madman.
赵启疯了般冲向前方。
But the figure who had slammed to the ground got up, and when that fierce, murderous gaze met his, Zhao Qi suddenly came to his senses.
但那道摔落在地上的身影爬起来，那道如同凶神的目光瞪向自己时，赵启忽地醒悟过来。
He no longer had any extra time-sequence left.
自己已经没有额外时序了。
This was not the time for bravado.
现在不是逞能的时候。
“Quick, head back!”
“快，回去！”
He turned the black ox with a form like a hippopotamus beneath him, intending to flee.
他扭转胯下形似河马的黑牛，想要逃跑。
“Die!” Shed Master Song quickly built up speed and hurled the long blade gleaming with dazzling golden light.
“死！”宋棚主快速助跑，将闪耀着赫赫金辉的长刀掷出。
Zhao Qi frantically glanced behind him. Gritting his teeth, he plunged the long blade into the colossal beast beneath him.
赵启慌乱的扫了眼身后，他一咬牙，将长刀插入身下巨兽。
[I’ve gained 23.2N.]
[我获得了23.2N.]
“Help!”
“救命啊！”
He shouted ahead to the several leaders of the wasteland caravans riding on the backs of wild beasts, but they looked at him as if he were no more than a pile of trash.
他冲着前方那几位野兽背上的荒车首领喊道，但对方看他的眼神，却犹如看一堆垃圾。
The mutated beast let out a pained roar, flinging Zhao Qi off its back.
变异野兽痛苦吼叫，将赵启甩了出去。
In the Land of Lost Frequencies, where the lifespans of monsters and beasts were the only replenishable source, Zhao Qi—already knowing he couldn’t save his mount—hesitated no more as the monster cast him off, ending the life of this mutated beast that had carried him for over a year.
在失频之地，怪物与野兽们的寿命是他们唯一可以补充的来源，此刻已然知晓保不住坐骑的赵启，在让怪物将自己甩出的时刻，毫不犹豫结果了这头驼行自己一年多的变异野兽。
“Dodged it!”
“躲过了！”
Still mid-air, Zhao Qi was just delighting in having avoided the fatal strike aimed at his spine, when he suddenly felt his plummeting body turned abruptly by an unseen force.
还在半空的赵启正惊喜自己躲过了这瞄准自己背心的必杀一击，忽然他感觉自己摔落出去的身体被一股力量猛地调转了方向。
“What? No!”
“什么，不要！”
Just as he was about to hit the ground, his body uncontrollably altered its direction, flying straight toward the swift spear hurtling toward him.
身体在即将坠落地面之时不受控制的突然调转方向，迎着那柄疾射过来的长刀而去。
“Ahhh!”
“啊啊啊！”
A torrent of boundless fear instantly flooded his mind.
无尽的恐惧霎时占满了大脑。
Zhao Qi screamed and flailed his arms, trying to stop himself, but he remained just a few centimeters short of touching the ground as that blade shot straight for his face.
赵启尖叫着晃动双臂想要阻止自己，但却始终差几厘米才能接触道地面，而那把刀已经直直射向自己脑袋。
Boom! A fierce wind rose suddenly.
轰！狂风骤起。
In that final moment, he seemed to see a ghostly train racing swiftly through the air a meter above the ground ahead, circling the crowd toward the rear of the caravan.
在最后这瞬间，他似乎看到一辆幽灵列车极速驰骋在前方离地一米的空中，绕着人群往车队后方而去。
“This can’t be…”
“这怎么可能…”
Plff, smack!
噗，啪！
The long blade wrapped in golden radiance pierced into Zhao Qi’s body from the top of his head, like a sword sliding into its sheath.
金辉包裹的长刀自头顶刺入赵启身体，如同收刀入鞘。
The body, with its head blown off, fell to the ground with a dull thud.
脑袋炸飞的尸体咚的声坠落地面。
This sudden turn of events changed the expressions of several men on the backs of the beasts behind them.
这异动让后方野兽背上几人脸色一变。
“What’s going on?”
“怎么回事。”
“That’s not something that guy could have pulled off. Who did it?”
“不像是那家伙能办到的事，是谁？”
Their eyes darted left and right, scanning among the fighting figures, wondering who might have suddenly stabbed Zhao Qi in the back.
他们目光扫向左右，那一个个战斗的身影中，会是谁突然阴了赵启一把？
Suddenly, they heard chaos and screams coming from the rear.
忽然，他们听到了后方传来骚乱与惨叫。
Shi Shuangbing immediately turned to look back and saw two figures hurled into the sky; with a flash of red light, they burst apart like they had been hit by a shotgun.
石双冰立即回首望去，正瞧见两道被抛上天的身影，红芒一闪，他们就如同被散弹枪枪射中般嘭的炸开。
“Someone’s coming!”
“有人来了！”
“Who is it?”
“谁！”
The people from Small Shed Settlement looked with both surprise and joy toward the rear of the opposite side, where the light of two models had just flashed.
小作棚聚集地这边的人又惊又喜的看向对面后方，那里刚刚闪动起了两道模型的光芒。
Those were clearly two quadrilaterals.
那分明是两道四边形。
In the pitch-dark sky, the other side deliberately spread flashing quadrilaterals toward the horizon, announcing their arrival.
暗幕般的天色中，对方故意向天际扩散出闪动的四边形，昭告着自己的到来。
Shed Master Song froze for two seconds, then looked down at the still-swaggering corpse, stepped forward a few paces, and pulled out the blood-stained Chrono Weapon with a single yank, finally letting out a deep breath from his chest.
宋棚主愣了两秒后低头看向刚刚还耀武扬威的尸首，他往前几步，将染血的时序战器一把抽出，胸腹中长出了口气。
“Brothers!”
“兄弟们！
“A formidable expert has arrived. If you’re no cowards, follow me!”
“有高手来了，不是孬种的就随我来！”
They had been fighting a desperate battle, but now a real turning point had arrived. Promised by the shed master’s rallying call, the remaining fighters gathered around him while retreating and striking, following him in an arc as they attacked the flank of the cargo fleet.
原本只是拼死抵抗，此刻却真的出现转机，棚主一呼百应，剩余的人都边打边退的聚了过来，跟着他以弧线往货队侧翼杀去。
Ning Yang stared blankly at the rear—the location shown in the Mental Link image was exactly where Zuo Feixian was.
宁洋愣愣看着后方，心灵链接画面中左非闲所在的地方，就是那里。
“This… am I dreaming?”
“这，我在做梦啊？”
The four people beside him, who had been in despair, tensed up and leaned against each other. Niuwa murmured in shock, “A passerby helping us?”
他身旁原本绝望的四人身体绷紧互相抵靠在一起，牛娃震惊的低声道：“有路过的好心人？”
“No, that’s… Jia Zi Jian,” Ning Yang muttered.
“是，是甲子间。”宁洋喃喃道。
“What? Jia Zi Jian?”
“什么，甲子间？”
“How could it be that guy!”
“怎么可能是那家伙！”
The four turned their heads to look at the commotion behind them.
四人转动脑袋看向后方的骚乱。
Anyone could be the one, but the arrival being Jia Zi Jian was something they least expected.
是谁都有可能，但来人是甲子间则让他们万万想不到。
A cargo team member approached the deputy leader: “Boss, there’s someone coming from the rear. Li Ge, what do we do?”
一个货队长凑到二把手身边：“后面有人来了，力哥，怎么办。”
A Li stared coldly at the opposite Shed Master Song.
阿力冷冷看着对面的宋棚主。
“I miscalculated. Send two men to finish the boss Song. If we don’t get a quadrilateral lost model tonight, with so many dead, I wouldn’t dare face the boss.”
“是我失算了。去两人把姓宋的收了吧，今夜要拿不到个四边形失念模型，死这么多人，我没法给老大交代。”
“Yes.” The man glanced nervously at Zhao Qi’s corpse, turned and barked orders to two cargo fleet members, then spurred his mount toward Song Zilin’s direction.
“是。”这人心有余悸的看了眼赵启的尸体，转身对着两名货队长一吆喝，便策兽向着宋梓林的方向冲去。
A Li took an iron hammer from his back, gripped it with both hands, and with a squeeze of his legs, turned his mount around.
阿力从背后取下柄铁锤，双手拽着，两腿一夹胯下野兽，驱驶它掉转身形。
In the rear of the Wasteland Cargo Fleet.
荒车大货队的后方。
When the chest of Luo Bin, standing at the carriage entrance, flashed with quadrilateral light, both Zuo and Xu were terrified.
当站在门口的洛宾胸口闪动出四边形的光芒后，左徐二人大惊失色。
“You’re also a quadrilateral?”
“你也是四边形？”
Teacher Chen and the other stared at Yang Zicang with disbelief, as if he were a ghost.
陈老师两人看向杨子藏更是一副见鬼的神色。
“Good heavens, when did so many quadrilateral models show up here?”
“我的妈呀，这里什么时候有这么多四边形模型了。”
“This… is indeed something—experts stick with experts.”
“这，果然是高手跟高手混一起的。”
Little Liu, trembling with fear, tugged at his teacher’s sleeve while eyeing the portly man slightly hunched before him.
小刘颤颤惊惊的拽着自己老师的胳膊，看着身前虚胖的胖子。
Luo Bin proudly lifted his chin, gave a snort, and jumped off the cart. He turned to Yang Zicang and said, “Give me the Chrono Weapon, won’t you? You have so many cool toys.”
洛宾得意的将头一抬，哼了声后跳下了车，他转头看向杨子藏道：“给我把时序战器呗，你那么多好玩意儿。”
Yang Zicang shot him a glance: “Don’t think about pocketing it—I plan to give this to Xiao Yu later. Also, join my caravan first; otherwise, you won’t be able to contact the outside.”
杨子藏瞥了他一眼：“别想着贪污啊，这是我打算以后给小雨的。另外，先加入我的货队，否则无法与外界联系。”
He tossed the longsword that originally belonged to Ma Chao down from the train, having previously nearly given it to Liang Xi before Luo Xin dissuaded him on the grounds that it might attract prying eyes. Considering that it was ultimately Ma Chao’s weapon, and the Xiongying Group might retaliate against its bearer, he refrained from forcing the gift.
他将原本属于马超的长剑从列车上丢下，之前他差点将它送给梁喜，被罗鑫以可能引来窥探替梁喜给劝拒了。想到这毕竟是属于马超的武器，雄英组或许会报复持有者，便没强送。
“Alright! I’ll take care of the small fry—leave the glowing red ones for you!”
“好咧！那些小的我来收拾，冒红色儿的就让给你啦！”
With that, broken lines burst from Luo Bing’s chest, shooting into the distant void.
说罢，洛宾胸前窜动出折线，射向老远的虚空。
“Old Wang, ready to get to work.”
“老王，准备干活了。”
On the other side of the mental link, Wang Yu’an was overjoyed.
心灵链接另一边的王育安顿时大喜。
Inside the cart, Yang Zicang looked out at the crowd from the Wrecked Carriage caravan charging through the darkness as they turned around.
车内的杨子藏看向黑暗中掉转身形冲来的荒车大货队的人群。
“Molly, let’s get started, too.”
“莫里，我们也开始吧。”
{Hehe, Moli received.}
{嘿嘿，莫里收到。}
{Boppoli received too! So many people, big shot, be careful!}
{波波利也收到！这么多人，大神小心点喔！}
The young man in khaki work overalls jumped down from the train door, his feet landing firmly on the ground.
身穿卡其工装外套的青年从列门跳下，双脚稳稳踩在地面上。
{Can I add some passengers?}
{我可以补充点乘客吗？}
Yang Zicang was taken aback. After struggling inwardly over the train’s issue, he sighed and said, “Alright, just be careful not to accumulate over ten thousand temporal sequences.”
杨子藏一愣，列车的问题他内心挣扎了下，叹道：“可以，小心点时序不要累积超过一万。”
He himself was far from a good person; what he wanted to become was someone capable of uncovering the truth of this world.
自己，根本就不是什么好人啊，自己想要成为的，是要能揭开这个世界真实之人。
{I’ll be careful. It’s a pity you’re not the train conductor who made me mature; otherwise, this wouldn’t be something I need to think about.}
{我会注意的，可惜你不是让我成熟的列车长，否则这不是我该考虑的事情。}
“I were your first train conductor, you wouldn’t have gained these temporal sequences.”
“我如果是你的首任列车长，你也就获得不了这些时序了。”
After all, the Nightmare was just a nightmare, not a human. This human-made constraint, where individuals couldn’t obtain temporal sequences from each other, didn’t work on it.
恶魇毕竟只是恶魇，而不是人类，这种人类间互相无法获得时序的约束，对它不起作用。
A spectral monster surged out from the turbulent energy behind Yang Zicang, and the White Shadow Thought-Dragon charged fiercely at the crowd brandishing swords and charging forward.
一条虚影怪物从杨子藏背后涌动的能量内冲出，白影念龙狠狠撞向前方挥舞刀剑而来的众人。
This was the Nightmare that belonged to him.
这才是属于自己的恶魇。
Its temporal sequences were completely shared with him, like a true extension of his mind.
它的时序和自己完全共享，如同意念的真实延展。
This was the materialization of thought-power—[True Descent]!
这便是念能力的实质化——[真实降临]！
“Kill!”
“杀！”
“Ah, run! There’s an invisible monster!” The crowd scattered in panic.
“呃啊，快跑，有看不见的怪物！”人群轰然四散。
Teacher Chen and Little Liu watched in astonishment as the two moved unimpeded into the crowd, while the train sped directly into the throng.
陈老师和小刘瞠目结舌的看着两人如无人之境般进入人群，列车更是快速行驶冲入人堆里。
Bang-dong-dong!
嘭咚咚！
From certain carriages inside the train came the rolling sound of someone falling, and then those people fell silent.
列车内某些车厢似乎传来有人跌倒的滚动声，随后那些人就没了动静。
“Hehe, you two, be careful. We’ll go lend a hand too. Oh, by the way, keep the timeline savings for us and don’t actively return them to us.”
“嘿嘿，两位，你们小心点，我们也去搭把手，对了，时序帮我们存着千万不要主动返还给我们。”
