Chapter 12 (1/2)

The transport vehicle underwent a large-scale modification.

To reduce their attractiveness to Vicious Beasts and increase their defensive capabilities, they had added all kinds of hard bulletproof armor.

Other than that, the surface consisted of various kinds of dragon-type armor.

Through the clever use of all kinds of beast armor, the entire transport truck became disguised as a dragon-type beast!

No wonder Austin and the others were shocked.

At first glance, the transport vehicle looked like a giant steel dragon lying across the tracks.

It appeared ferocious and mighty, enough to intimidate most beasts.

Catherine exclaimed, “Is this our transport vehicle? I thought it was the corpse of a dragon-type beast the first time I saw it.”

“Yes, it is,” Austin replied as he admired the vehicle.

“I didn’t expect that the royal family used this method to get transport vehicles to travel in no man’s land.”

The so-called no man’s land was the region beyond the hunting area.

Both magisters and ordinary people lived in a safe city.

The outskirts of each city were the hunting area.

There would often be hunting teams formed by magisters that would go out to hunt Vicious Beasts.

Beyond the hunting area was the deserted no man’s land.

There were high-level vicious beasts everywhere, making it even more dangerous.

And the most dangerous place was still the Life Forbidden Zone.

As long as it was a territory occupied by monarch rank or emperor rank vicious beasts, humans would classify them as Life Forbidden Zones.

Even the unrivaled powerhouses of each country would not enter the Forbidden Life Zone unless necessary.

Catherine asked, “Are the transport vehicles modified to this extent to deceive those beasts?”

Austin nodded and said, “Those beasts with low intelligence will see the modified transport vehicles as dragons.”

“And the rumbling noises of the vehicle would make most of them believe that the roaming transport vehicles are powerful and terrifying dragon-type beasts.”

It was a practical method to reduce harassment by the beasts.

In the vicious beasts’ social system, people had long discovered that they had a system of hierarchy that was even more stringent and rigid than humans.

A high-level beast had absolute authority over low-level beasts.

Therefore, those commander rank, monarch rank, and even emperor rank vicious beasts could start beast tides of different sizes!

The ones that posed the greatest threat to humans were always the high-level beasts.

Humans had also been working hard to nurture super experts, persevering with the execution plan targeting high-level beasts.

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Please enter the ‘Fire Dragon’ according to the carriages in your manual.”

Cass announced.

Everyone was allocated their carriage number during the registration phase.

As for the seat number…?

It’s all standing tickets, so there were none.

After all, in an apocalyptic era, the transportation cost and space of every Fire Dragon vehicle were very precious.

There was no extra space to install seats.

“Brother, I’m in the sixth carriage.”

“Hey, I’m also in the sixth carriage.”

Austin signed up on a different day as his sister, and he got assigned to a carriage instantly. Yet, they still got allocated to the same carriage.
