Li Ge lowered his voice and said to Zheng Zha and the others, "In the original plot, the tracks leaving Xianjin Station were jammed by a Kabaneri's arm, preventing the descending tracks from lowering."
"So the Kōtetsujō couldn't leave Xianjin Station either."
"To leave, they had to manually operate that lifting device."
Originally, the protagonist would have done this, but now that Ikoma had been killed by him, naturally, it was their turn to handle it.
Instantly, the smiles on everyone's faces froze, and they looked incredulously towards the front of the train.
Sure enough.
The Kōtetsujō only moved a short distance before being forced to stop.
Yuna, the pink-haired girl driving the train, explained the reason for the stop with a troubled expression: "The lifting device is jammed, so the Kōtetsujō can't lower the tracks."
"Which means we're trapped here."
Things developed exactly as Li Ge had said.
At this moment, outside the Kōtetsujō, there were quite a few Kabaneri attracted by the train's start.
And due to the size of the tunnel, these Kabaneri were all squeezed together.
In such an environment, going out to manually activate the device would be a near-certain death for the person performing the task.
"Damn the Main God, I knew it wouldn't let us complete the mission so easily!" Zhang Jie cursed in exasperation.
The Main God also suffered an undeserved misfortune; this blame clearly belonged to Li Ge.
However, Zhang Jie and the others didn't know the plot, so they naturally wouldn't suspect Li Ge. Thus, in their eyes, this was a crisis arranged by the Main God for them.
Li Ge didn't clarify anything for the Main God; it was better to hide it for a while, to save himself the trouble of having to explain anything.
If it weren't for Zhang Jie, this bug, he wouldn't even eat beef now; he wouldn't even bother to explain himself.
Seven hundred points of physical quality plus those reward points were enough for him to turn the Zhongzhou Team into a farming team.
Of course, Li Ge also knew that a farming team would be targeted by the Main God, so he wouldn't actively try to become one without certainty.
However, since he caused this, he probably had to resolve it himself.
Li Ge had killed many plot characters; the Main God wouldn't target him too much, given that he was still a newcomer.
But if he still tried to rely on those samurai, he could just wait for the Main God to throw something big at him.
Zhan Lan and Li Xiaoyi also turned pale as they looked out through the observation port.
Zheng Zha, however, remained relatively calm and said, "There are too many Kabaneri outside; we probably won't have a chance to activate the lifting device on our own."
If the heroine could help now, it would be great.
This was Zheng Zha's thought.
Looking at Mumei, who was curled up under a cloak in the corner, Zheng Zha was about to go and voluntarily draw some blood from Mumei when he was stopped by Li Ge.
"No need, I'll handle it."
Li Ge's voice wasn't loud, but the confidence within it was almost overflowing.
Everyone looked at Li Ge in surprise, seemingly not understanding what he meant.
Seeing this, Li Ge simply repeated, "What I mean is, I'll go and activate the manual lifting device by myself."
"I don't understand, Sir Li Ge, that's too dangerous!" Sifang Chuan Changpu said anxiously, trying to stop him.
"No, there's no danger. You just need to be ready to start the train. Those Kabaneri outside are no match for me."
Li Ge's voice wasn't loud, but the confidence within it made people unconsciously feel that he wasn't joking, as if, just as he said, they only needed to wait for his good news.
Even Mumei in the corner lowered her cloak, which had covered her face, and looked at Li Ge in confusion.
She didn't sense the aura of a fellow Kabaneri from Li Ge.
So why did this man, who wasn't even a Kabaneri, have such confidence?
Even if his strength wasn't weak and he could defeat Ikoma, who had just turned into a Kabaneri, how could an ordinary person deal with such a dense horde of Kabaneri?
One must know that even a simple scratch was enough to turn a person into a Kabaneri.
Not only did she not know Li Ge's confidence, but even Zhang Jie didn't know where Li Ge's confidence came from.
A newcomer who had just entered the Main God Space, without even any enhancements, what exactly gave him the courage to say such a thing?
Li Ge ignored everyone's dissuasion, directly opened the skylight on the train roof, flipped out, and then closed the skylight on the roof behind him.
Li Ge looked at the dense Kabaneri surrounding the Kōtetsujō and revealed a bloodthirsty smile.
The power he had just acquired hadn't been tested yet, and these Kabaneri were perfect punching bags.
Incidentally, he could also let Zheng Zha and the others recognize his strength, and better seize the right to speak in the Zhongzhou Team.
Most importantly, under the gaze of Zhang Jie, this semi-guide, he could raise the Main God's assessment of his potential.
Team leader authority, he had reserved it.
Li Ge's gaze sharpened, and he swung his blade, cutting through the air with a booming sound, instantly splitting several Kabaneri that lunged at him into upper and lower halves.
Foul-smelling blood splattered, but Li Ge had already left his original position.
His entire body left a trail of afterimages as he sped across the top of the Kōtetsujō.
At the same time, sword light constantly swept out, and the booming sounds in the air continuously rang out, causing the Kabaneri blocking his path to break into several pieces as if raining down.
They fell onto the ground on both sides of the Kōtetsujō.
In Li Ge's eyes, these Kabaneri were like slow motion; let alone touching him.
"Hmph, too slow, too slow!"
"Is this what it feels like to have power!"
The blade was directly pulled into an afterimage by Li Ge, moving so fast that it seemed as if several swords were striking simultaneously.
Li Ge, exhilarated by the killing, jumped directly to the ground, stomped a Kabaneri's head, and then gripped his blade with both hands, swinging it forward with all his might.
Buzz~
The air at this moment seemed to materialize; a transparent air blade directly cut all a dozen Kabaneri standing together in front of Li Ge in half at the waist.
And Zheng Zha and the others, who were watching from the observation port, were all astonished, their mouths wide open.
Zhan Lan even subconsciously murmured, "He's practically a superman."
Crack.
With a crisp sound, the samurai sword that had accompanied Li Ge throughout the horror film finally couldn't withstand Li Ge's abuse and broke.
"Oh no, Li Ge's weapon broke!"
Zhan Lan came back to her senses and instinctively wanted to throw her samurai sword through the observation port to Li Ge.
But Li Ge had already casually thrown the hilt, smashing a Kabaneri's head.
Then he kicked the upper half of a Kabaneri behind him, blowing it apart.
Li Ge's movements didn't stop; his legs kicked out alternately, and no Kabaneri could withstand a single kick from him.
They were all kicked away or directly kicked apart like rag dolls.
Zhan Lan held the sword, not knowing whether to throw it or not, and said awkwardly, "Heh heh, Li Ge doesn't seem to need it."
Zheng Zha and the others also nodded in agreement; Li Ge was truly strong and powerful.
Under the gazes of Zhan Lan and the others, who seemed to be watching Superman, Li Ge kept killing as he approached the lever.
Then he pulled the lever.
The Kabaneri's arm jammed under the lifting device was instantly crushed into minced meat.
Boom!
The ascending tracks blocking the Kōtetsujō's path fell, and the moonlight, unimpeded, streamed directly into the tunnel. The path leading out of Xianjin Station was now clear.
The Kōtetsujō also started moving again at this moment, slowly advancing with the sound of steam.
"Hey, Li Ge, hurry up and get on!"
Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Zhang Jie and the others, who had opened the last carriage closest to Li Ge at some point, shouted at him while using their Steam Guns to block the Kabaneri.
Li Ge paused for a moment at this sight, seemingly not expecting Zheng Zha and the others to come to his aid.
After all, as he had thought, he could easily keep up with the Kōtetsujō's speed, so he wouldn't need Zheng Zha and the others' help.
However, seeing this scene, he still felt a little strange inside.
