Chapter 660: Chapter 314 Red-Eye_3

Maya analyzed the track map with a calm mindset but couldn’t find any pattern at all. Some routes had closely spaced stations, while others had many speed restrictions. No matter how she tried to switch tracks, it was hard to find a route with few stations and speed restrictions. This made Maya quite irritable; she held the paper in her hand and bit her pen with furrowed brows.

Qinglang couldn’t bear to watch and said from the side, "Maya, relax. We’re playing the game, not letting the game play us."

Maya stood up and looked ahead, "I don’t like the feeling of losing control and leaving the future to fate."

A player train whistled past on the opposite track to the left, two hundred meters away from the train, the Spider Train was in hot pursuit. The players on the train gathered at the rear, in groups of three; two would load the repeater guns while one would shoot. Their concentrated firepower kept the Spider Train from getting close.

Maya watched them zip by then craned her neck to watch them a bit longer, "There are more surviving trains than I expected." It was now one in the afternoon, four hours into the chase, and out of the 42 trains, 30 were still standing. What was even more impressive was that, within the previous hour, there had been no news of any trains being eliminated, aside from the Pearl.

There were still many capable people who had found their rhythm, as well as ways to deal with the Spider Train. Seated in the passenger carriage, Lin Wu continued Maya’s thought, "That’s because they haven’t encountered the Red-eyed Train."

They had barely exchanged a few words when another player train appeared, coming in the opposite direction on the left rail. The three of them were stunned; were the players on these two trains planning to round up the Spider Train? Of course not, and if the second train was moving too fast, it could lead to some incidents.

The inconsequential incident, however, gave Lin Wu an idea. He complained, "Why can the Spider Train fight back while I’m chasing it from behind?"

Little White Rabbit answered, "You’re not chasing the Spider Train."

Lin Wu replied, "My question is, why can it fight back? Trains from that era didn’t have the capability to thrust in reverse."

Maya didn’t believe Lin Wu knew that Western-era trains couldn’t reverse thrust and was fairly certain he was spouting nonsense. However, Maya was very interested in the answer Little White Rabbit had given, though sadly she couldn’t see Little White Rabbit nor hear its voice.

Little White Rabbit said, "Sir, your question should be: If you’re attacking the Spider Train from behind, does the Spider Train have the ability to counterattack?"

Lin Wu denied, "No, I’m making a complaint, not an inquiry. I’m complaining that its ability to fight back doesn’t conform to the technological logic of the era, not asking whether it can fight back." We’re old acquaintances; are you playing this game with me?

Little White Rabbit replied, "Sir, you might be mistaken. It basically lacks the ability to fight back."

That’s the answer he was looking for; Lin Wu said, "Maybe I’m dreaming then. Thank you, goodbye."

"How did it go?" Qinglang and Maya asked in unison.

Lin Wu answered, "If we attack from right behind it, it essentially has no power to fight back."

Maya’s interest was piqued, "Just like aerial dogfights in World War II, whoever gets on someone’s tail gets the right to attack." The Eastern trains with armed carriages, not lacking currency, naturally didn’t lack bullets either.

Having been chased for hours, they had to catch an unlucky one to vent properly. Getting beaten was not Maya’s style.

"The prerequisite is that we can find an unlucky one."

Maya picked up the binoculars, "I’ll go on the roof to look." The electronic map’s distance recognition was limited, far less useful than the naked eye.
