Chapter 1276: “Hell Train” Rescue

For a moment, part of the shock wave that slipped through this net turned into a gale that whistled through the car.

It was as if the passengers were stuck in a wind tunnel. Their clothes and hats were blown around, and their bodies swayed. They looked very flustered.

But in the end, nobody died, and nobody was seriously injured.

However, the blast could only spread in two directions in the narrow train, and Luke was still under a lot of pressure.

The most important thing was that this was just a clone. He only had 10 Mental Strength, which was only four times stronger than that of a regular person. He really wasn’t strong.

Since the quantity wasn’t enough, he could only make up for it in quality.

The biggest difference between him and superhumans was that he had Tony’s research abilities.

The tycoon wasn’t absolutely omnipotent, but he had tinkered with sports cars, missiles, and armor since he was young.

He was absolutely the best in aerodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Coupled with the A.I. program, Luke had long calculated and designed multiple models for adapting telekinesis for various situations.

There was more than one way to deal with an explosion.

Currently, he wasn’t using his telekinesis like a protective shield, but mainly to disperse the energy so that most of the energy from the explosion scattered toward the surroundings.

Other superhumans with telekinesis might be able to do this sort of delicate work after eight to ten years of honing, but their bodies were the biggest weakness.

In the face of such an explosion, most superhumans had to consume a lot of energy to protect themselves. Otherwise, they would be injured or roasted.

Luke, on the other hand, relied on the powerful defenses of his Batman suit, and didn’t have to use any telekinesis to protect his body; the suit blocked the flames and the shock wave, and he didn’t sustain any injuries at all.

But the side effects of this method were also apparent. Most of the enormous impact from the explosion was transferred to half of the train car by the telekinesis, causing it to not only creak, but also build up momentum.

The train car, which was supposed to slow down, sped up.

As it charged into the station, the turbulent air in the subway tunnel now had space to escape.

With a loud rumble, the train car charged out with raging flames, like a train from hell.

The train cars in front couldn’t withstand the irregular acceleration, and a pair of wheels twisted off the tracks.

The subway train immediately derailed.

Due to the inertia in front and the shock wave at the back, the last two cars struggled and twisted before derailing with the unpleasant sound of screeching metal and sweeping into the subway station at an angle.

It was a good thing that the people in the subway station were gathered at the exit, or a lot of people would have been killed or injured.

The people who were leaving the subway station turned their heads at the clamor.

Even John and Zeus, who were in charge, were silent for a moment. When they saw the “Hell Train” charge out, their mouths dropped in shock.

Less than five seconds later, everybody was terrified.

The last two train cars were flung out and rolled over the ground. They swept through the subway station and headed… right for the exit.

John’s hair stood on end as he roared, “Run! Run! Don’t f*cking stand around!”

As if waking from a dream, the 20 or so people at the station exit ran.

Even a young man on a crutch was speeding up. His good leg and the crutch worked together flawlessly as he climbed the stairs frantically.

John and Zeus, however, felt cold. It was too late!

The train cars were moving too fast, and that one moment of distraction just now was too fatal. At least half of the 20 people wouldn’t be able to escape.

They could only pray that the cars would stop as they ran up.

But when they saw sparks fly as the two cars scraped over the ground and didn’t slow down at all, they knew that this was just wishful thinking.

At that moment, a dark shadow smashed through the window of one car. Turning around, the figure exerted strength with both arms, and white flames spewed out from his back as he pushed at the cars.

John and Zeus exclaimed inwardly.

They had watched news and videos of Batman countless times, but it was mostly about him saving a few people and beating up some criminals.

Everybody said that Batman’s combat ability was indeed extraordinary, but he probably wasn’t a superhuman.

It wasn’t until this moment that they suddenly remembered that this person seemed to be very familiar with Iron Man. So… it was actually the armor he was wearing that was very strong?

The white flames died out after one burst; it was just to help Luke adjust his posture and the timing of his landing.

At that moment, Luke’s hands were already in place, and he braced himself with his legs.

With a rumble, the bricks under his feet shattered, and he plowed a deep trench into the ground.

The enormous sound made the last dozen or so passengers who couldn’t run away in time subconsciously turn their heads. This was similar to how you always wasted time when you were being chased by turning to check the situation behind you.

But they still did it, and couldn’t help but pause.

They saw a black figure, and the two train cars were slowing down at a visible rate.

They finally stopped when Luke’s foot hit the bottom step of the stairs to the exit.

The two cars came to a shuddering stop.

Looking at the train cars that had stopped on both sides of the stairs in the shape of a V, and then at Batman, who was at the tip of the V, the dozen or so passengers suddenly relaxed. They stopped! Batman really stopped the cars! They were still alive.

Luke took his hands out of the dents he had left in the bodies of the train cars and rejoiced that there had been a buffer period; otherwise, his telekinesis wouldn’t have been enough.

If he hadn’t used telekinesis to distribute the pressure from his hands, it was more likely that he would have smashed through the cars and lost momentum.

That was also the reason why the cars hadn’t stopped until the very end, which scared the group on the stairs.

Thinking that, he turned his head and looked at John with his blood-red lenses. “It’s not safe here. Officer, please call for backup and evacuate the passengers immediately.”

“Okay, no problem.” John agreed.

When it came to steel nerves, he was definitely one of the bravest in NYPD.

Although Batman had demonstrated his prowess, it didn’t prevent John from immediately understanding the current situation.

The explosion just now hadn’t happened on line 3, and the timing wasn’t right. As expected, he couldn’t believe what Simon said.

Who knew if there was another subway train with a bomb on it?

After reporting the situation to Dustin via his wireless comm, he immediately pushed the passengers up the stairs. He didn’t forget to yell, “Remain calm and pick up your pace. Hurry and get out of here.”
