Chapter 862: Chapter 386: Racing Against Time (2)

For Ghabari, whether it’s the hallucinogen in the poison syringe or the optical stealth coating on the mine’s shell, they are all top-notch weapon test materials.

Especially the latter.

Once successfully deciphered, its warfare potential rivals nuclear weapons.

Imagine real optical stealth fighters, stealth tanks, and even stealth soldiers appearing in small-scale conventional wars, it would be a dimensional crushing strike.

Understanding this.

Gu Ji suddenly realized there was no need to continue frisking him.

He quickly collected the scattered mine fragments from the bathroom and put them in his pocket, while the blond man was tied up and tossed in the bathroom.

Before leaving.

Gu Ji took out the [ERC Information Interference Device] from his backpack, blocking the monitoring in the adjacent train cars, and deleted his own image through neural network interference.

"Psssst——!"

The train successfully arrived at the platform.

Gu Ji stood beneath the "Emergency Stop" and "Fire Alarm" buttons, taking a deep breath.

"Ah Ming, how come you’re here, I was looking for you at the back of the train!"

Just as he was prepared, unexpectedly a voice called out from the rear, it was Claudie who had come over.

But Gu Ji no longer had time to chat with her.

In the moment the car doors opened, he jumped up with a "whoosh", and punched the protective casings of the two buttons.

Instantaneously.

"Ring ring ring——!"

The train alarm blared, the metal wheels underneath emitted a sharp friction sound, brakes locked immediately.

"What happened?"

"Seems like the fire alarm is ringing, could the train be on fire?"

"Don’t block the front, quickly move!"

...

Chaos erupted simultaneously on the train, along with the passengers preparing to disembark.

Gu Ji didn’t use the connecting passage, as it was already congested with people.

Instead, he twisted at the waist, stepped sideways with his foot, kicking at the glass-clamped car window.

With a loud crash, the glass shattered, the entire window flew out, and Gu Ji leaped through the window.

Landing on the platform, he heard screaming from the train, especially Claudie’s shout of "Ah Ming" was the clearest.

But he couldn’t care about any of that.

He sprinted swiftly, taking three steps in two, quickly maneuvering through the startled crowd on the platform and rushing into the parking lot located on the side of the station.

At this moment, a white pickup had just parked in the spot.

Before the driver could open the door to get out, Gu Ji yanked the door open, brandishing his passport, "Savama, we’re conducting a secret operation, I’ll be temporarily commandeering your vehicle!"

"Hey! You are..."

"Get out!"

Gu Ji didn’t give him a chance to rebut, directly dragging him out of the car.

"Ah!"

The woman sitting in the passenger seat screamed in fright, jumping out from the side door as if fleeing.

"Sir, I’d like to take a closer look at your credentials, just now I didn’t seem to catch the information..."

"Vroom——!"

The driver seemed to sense something amiss, contemplating blocking him.

But Gu Ji simply twisted the key, pressing down on the accelerator.

The engine revved to a deafening roar, scaring the driver and his companion into hurried avoidance.

Taking this opportunity.

Gu Ji turned the steering wheel violently, suddenly speeding out.

Seeing this, the driver shouted while craning his neck, "Hey! How am I supposed to get my car back!"

"Honey, why does it feel like his credentials look so much like a passport..."

"Vroom——!"

Outside the station on the highway, Gu Ji stepped hard on the accelerator, speeding along the railroad track towards Tehran city.

Fortunately, the road through the countryside was relatively desolate.

He quickly arrived at the maintenance and construction location he saw last week in Tehran Railway Bureau’s maintenance records.

Situated before a mountain tunnel.

Since the construction site was deep inside the railway.

Gu Ji took a quick glance at the time on his wrist; less than four minutes remained.

He made up his mind and turned the steering wheel.

Decisively pressing the accelerator, cutting through the wild grass alongside the road, directly onto the railway tracks.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

"Get out! It’s dangerous!"

"By Allah, he’s crazy, he’ll be hit by a train!"

...

Workers in the distance turned at the commotion, furiously waving their red signal lights, trying to warn Gu Ji not to proceed.

Yet he not only disregarded their warning, but accelerated, crossing rail after rail.

One middle-aged worker wearing an orange hard hat was reporting to his superiors using a walkie-talkie.

However, halfway through, he seemed to receive some information, his complexion changed, hurriedly urging the workers to evacuate, then grabbed a crowbar and dashed to the pickup’s front.

"Clang!"

The middle-aged worker slammed the hood, raising the crowbar, pointing at Gu Ji seated in the driver’s seat, angrily shouted, "Are you crazy! Get out of the car, hurry!!"

"Which one of you is Heiji Guerrero?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged worker froze, "That’s me, how do you know my name?"

He remembered it well.

Because Haiji was the person in charge of the railroad maintenance and construction.

"Savama Secret Police. We’ve received intelligence, suspicious elements might be tampering with the tracks on which the CZ3193 freight train will travel, the train is likely to derail. Have you noticed any suspicious individuals during construction?"

"What!?"

Haiji’s eyes widened, his mouth agape, "That, that’s impossible. We’ve encountered no suspicious individuals along the route..."

The shock of the event left him with no time to even verify Gu Ji’s identity.

"Now, immediately have the railway bureau contact CZ3193’s train driver, have him stop the train straight away, then mobilize all workers, think of everything possible, find the problem on the tracks! Hurry!"

"But, CZ3193 might have already entered the mountain by now..."

Haiji looked up at the distant tunnel entrance.

Only then did Gu Ji understand why Hasha found it so difficult for the railway bureau to contact CZ3193’s driver, it was because there was no signal within the tunnel.

"Even then, keep calling! We’re out of time, have everyone move quickly!"

Gu Ji raised his wrist, barely less than two minutes were left.

He hurriedly parked the pickup deeper into the wilds, then turned on the high beams aimed at the tunnel entrance, hoping to alert the driver with the light source.

"How could it be, we’ve seen no suspicious personnel approaching this entire route!"

"Speaking of suspicious figures, this man looks most suspicious, who would drive directly onto the tracks?"

"Do you all want to die?! CZ3193 carries over a thousand tons of flammable and explosive material, if it explodes, every living thing within miles will perish!!"

"This..."

"Pasto, go check ahead! Porter, head over there, hurry!"

...

It seemed the construction workers still didn’t entirely believe the situation, chatting among themselves while inspecting the tracks.

It wasn’t until Gu Ji shouted this did they finally wake up.

Haiji frantically urged everyone to disperse for an inspection, some heading towards the tunnel entrance, others towards the station.

Looking at the densely packed, uniformly aligned tracks.

For the first time, Gu Ji felt himself so tense, with only 1 minute and 21 seconds remaining, if this failed again, there would likely be no chance for a comeback!

Don’t forget, stopping the incident from spreading is just the first step.

There remain side missions and hidden tasks afterward!

"There’s no time left! Run! Look quickly!!"

Gu Ji kept an eye on the ticking second hand on his watch while shouting aloud.

"Rumble rumble..."

"What sound is that?"

"It’s the tracks moving! The train’s coming! We need to leave quickly!"

An experienced older worker suddenly realized and attempted to lead everyone up the hill.

But Gu Ji blocked him.

At this moment, his eyes were completely devoured by frenzied bloodshot veins, "Leave? If the issue isn’t found, we’re all going to die, keep finding it!!"

"But we’ve checked everywhere and there’s no problem!"

"Woo—! Kuzz kuzz!"

"The train’s really coming!"

"I found it! Everyone, come over and help!!"
