Starry Sky Railway: Starting with a furious outburst at Aha

The three of them went to the monitoring room together. After nodding to Dan Heng, Zhou Yuan looked at Alan, who was resting in a chair to the side.

He was dressed in blood-stained combat gear, his wheat-colored skin covered in wounds, and the blood-soaked clothes on his right hand and legs were particularly conspicuous.

"This must be Comrade Alan." Zhou Yuan stepped forward warmly, grasped Alan's left hand with both hands, and shook it slightly. "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade! Leave the rest to us."

March 7: "???"

Dan Heng: “…”

Alan paused for a few seconds, then shook his head and said:

"That's what I should have done... Unfortunately, I was careless in the end."

“That’s not your fault,” Zhou Yuan patted Alan on the shoulder. “Now is not the time to discuss this. Now that everyone is here, let’s head to the elevator.”

Zhou Yuan's attitude towards Alan was naturally for a reason, because Alan was one of the characters Zhou Yuan used to help him through many levels when he was a newbie. Therefore, the more Zhou Yuan looked at Alan, the more pleasing he became.

What a courageous and good comrade!

Alan asked the group, "Since Station Master Estella sent you to me, she must have given you the key, right?"

"It seems they gave me a card..." March 7th hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "But I think I forgot... Ah! Found it!"

"That's good." Alan took the key, operated it on the console for a while, and then said to everyone:

"You guys go up to the elevator. I only have access to that one. I have difficulty moving around, so I'll stay here."

“What are you saying?” Zhou Yuan patted his chest and took the imaginary cannon off his back. “With the four of us here, Comrade Alan, you just need to follow along. Getting back to the main control cabin sooner will also make treatment easier.”

“Yeah, yeah,” March 7th chimed in, “You just need to take care of yourself, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”

“If you can’t walk, I can carry you,” Xing said from the side. “Don’t be too touched.”

"...Thank you." Alan finally agreed to leave with him.

After finalizing the route, Zhou Yuan led the way, and everyone set off together. With Zhou Yuan acting as their human shield, they chatted and laughed all the way to the vicinity of the elevator.

As Zhou Yuan took a step forward, he suddenly felt a flash of purple light ahead, and a huge arrow was hurtling straight toward San Yueqi's face.

"As expected, it appeared." Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, extending his right hand to block in front of March 7.

Bang!

The two collided with a loud bang. The arrow, guided by Zhou Yuan's palm, was deflected and flew into the wall behind, where it exploded.

Shaking his hands, which were still numb from the shock, Zhou Yuan shouted:

"Watch out, everyone! There's an ambush!"

Everyone became alert.

In the void ahead, an elegant yet powerful figure suddenly appeared—a centaur, the Trampler among the void soldiers. For the group in the early stages, it was a formidable and troublesome enemy.

"Unfortunately, your attack is useless against me."

As Zhou Yuan thought to himself, he took the initiative to strike before the trampler could make a move, turning the intensity knob on the Imaginary Cannon one full turn.

"Max power, fire!"

call out! !

The light from the muzzle of the Imaginary Cannon shone brightly, then instantly subsided, emitting an extremely thin, tiny beam of light that pierced the air with a sharp whistling sound.

The light struck the tramp with lightning speed, and after a brief silence, it erupted into a towering flame and an astonishing sonic boom.

Boom! !

After the aftershocks of the explosion subsided, Zhou Yuan noticed that the trampling victim was only injured, not dead.

That makes sense. If any random pawn's cannon could snipe a trampler, wouldn't the levels of this antimatter legion be in complete chaos?

Zhou Yuan raised the Imaginary Cannon, pulled the trigger, intending to fire another shot at the Trampler, but found that the material used as the cannonball had been ejected from the cannon chamber.

Zhou Yuan grabbed it and saw that the previous shot had completely consumed the antimatter inside, leaving only the outer shell of material.

The energy of this cannonball was obtained by Zhou Yuan from killing the tamperer halfway through the battle. It is the most concentrated antimatter that can be obtained so far, apart from killing the trampler.

It failed to kill the trampler in one shot, and low-concentration antimatter shells were even less likely to do so.

The trampler swayed, still reeling from the impact of the blow. As it moved, Zhou Yuan could see the huge gash blasted into its abdomen and the core that was faintly visible within.

"Hmph," Zhou Yuan snorted coldly, clenching his fist and squeezing the spent cartridge case into a thin rope.

He then charged towards the tramplers, shouting:

"March, shields! The sharper the better!"

Fearing that March 7th might not understand, Zhou Yuan even raised his right hand and gestured.

"Ah! I understand!" A longbow appeared in March 7's hand. He gently drew the bow, and an ice arrow flew from the string.

The ice arrow struck Zhou Yuan's elbow before being launched, and then a layer of ice armor rapidly spread along his arm.

Ice armor proliferated wildly, piling up at Zhou Yuan's fingertips, layer upon layer, one after another! Just before Zhou Yuan encountered the Trampler, ice armor formed, completely enveloping Zhou Yuan's right arm.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan's right arm seemed to have transformed into a dragon's claw, his fingertips completely replaced by sharp ice claws, emitting a chilling aura and still gleaming!

A sharp glint flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes. His left hand, which was not covered by ice armor, grabbed the trampler's throat. Then, with a sudden thrust and pull of his right hand, a core with a fluorescent blue light was held in Zhou Yuan's hand.

With its energy core removed, the trampler immediately lost power and trembled uncontrollably.

Zhou Yuan tossed it far away, watching it burst into a giant flower in mid-air, its parts scattered everywhere.

After feeling the weight of the "cannonball" in his hand, Zhou Yuan nodded in satisfaction, walked back to the group, and stuffed it into the imaginary cannon.

Zhou Yuan walked up to the dazed March 7, took her hand, and gave her a high five:

"That was great teamwork!"

After saying that, he looked at March 7th with anticipation.

Go ahead and ask the question!

"Zhou Yuan, what... what did you do?" March 7th was starting to question his existence.

Several systems ago, he was a "junior" who still had to follow behind him, but in the blink of an eye, he could easily kill the Trampler.

"It takes me a lot of effort to kill the Tramplers myself!! Why should I?" March 7th couldn't help but think.

"What has Zhou Yuan been doing all this time? He just went to rescue Xing. Could it be... that what's in the novel is true?"

For some reason, on March 7th, his gaze began to wander between Zhou Yuan and Xing.

"Ah, that feels good." Upon hearing this question, Zhou Yuan felt a surge of satisfaction, as if he had finally gotten his revenge.

"Didn't I tell you? I'm very strong," Zhou Yuan said confidently, with a smug tone. "I was hiding my true abilities before, wanting to see how you guys were, but I was very disappointed."

After reuniting with the others, Zhou Yuan discovered that his strength was inexplicably increasing.

Specifically, the initially heavy imaginary cannon in my hand quickly became lighter over time, until it was as light as nothing.

Much time passed afterward, and Zhou Yuan had no idea how much his strength had increased. He had planned to fight the Trampler hand-to-hand with his high defense to test his strength, but he didn't expect to kill it instantly.

Zhou Yuan quickly realized that this was probably the second ability that Aha had bestowed upon him.

The heart represents a shield, or defense, while the horizontal line running through the heart represents a spear, or attack.

The combination of offense and defense at the Envoy level greatly boosted Zhou Yuan's confidence, and he pointed and gestured at the crowd.

"Damn it, don't underestimate the bond between us!" March 7th said, feigning anger. "One day, Danheng and I will catch up with you!"

Dan Heng remained calm: "March, don't drag me into your bragging."

Zhou Yuan looked at Alan, who nodded and said, "Indeed impressive."

"Gagaga!!!" Zhou Yuan laughed with satisfaction, then looked at Xing expectantly.

She pondered for a long time, then, when she spoke, it was astonishing. Pointing at Zhou Yuan with a single finger, a look of sudden realization on her face, she exclaimed:

"Gua (crab)!!"

"Uh, why did you guys suddenly stop talking?"
