IMUC-CHAPTER 39: DO YOU TRUST ME?

  The pierg sound of the whistle shattered the tranquility of the gcial mountains, disrupting the silehat enveloped the region.

  The out-of-trol train hurtled forward, billowing thick smoke, and its speed oracks kept increasing without any sign of slowing down.

  "Did Steve mess up?" Kyle raised an eyebrow and was about to climb onto the roof of the train to reach the front. However, when he saw that the train was about to enter a tuhat could only aodate the body of the train, he quickly retreated bato the carriage and closed the door behind him.

  As the traiered the tuhe lighting ihe carriage dimmed, leaving only faint illumination from the lights.

  Kyle looked down the aisle of the train carriage. Each se of the passageway had automatic meical doors installed at both ends, and they were now pletely locked from the main trol room.

  There was no time to waste.

  With that in mind, Kyle extended his two fingers, revealing a translut Blue Item Card. In the moment, a Laser Gun materialized in his hand through the Card Recovery process.

  He aimed the barrel of the gun at the tightly closed door and pulled the trigger!

  "Chhh!"

  The locked meical door shattered uhe inte of the ser, and Kyle, holding the Laser Gun, crossed the threshold and quickly made his way toward the front of the train.

  "Chhh, chhh, chhh!"

  Every closed door along the train carriage corridor was forcefully bsted open by Kyle's Laser Gun, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake.

  "I should be getting close." Kyle looked at the fifth door, aimed the Laser Gun at it, and fired. The automatic door disied uhe ser, and the explosion dispersed the smoke in the front .

  "What is this…" As the horrific se in the front came into view, even Kyle couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

  On both sides of the , there were massive holes bsted through the exterior of the train, revealing the tunnel walls and sparks geed by the rolling wheels flying by outside.

  The floor of the was covered in shattered boained with crimson blood and it was as if someone had caused it through a suicide bombing. The smoke and fire inated from the trol sole of the train.

  Steve sat wearily on the floor of the , and beside him was an unscious bald professor, whom Kyle reized as the target of their mission.

  "Kyle, you're here." Steve looked up at Kyle, his ched fists audibly creaking, as if enduring immense pain.

  "What happened here? How did it end up like this? Are you injured?" Kyle threw away the Laser Gun in his hand as he quickly approached Steve, and helped him up, sensing that something was amiss. He asked, "Where's Bucky?"

  "It's all my fault. I uimated them." Steve sighed, uo tain his sadness. He said, "Bucky. He saved me but was thrown out of the train by the explosion and fell into a snow-covered valley hundreds of meters deep."

  'The same fate again? The Fate of Winter Soldier.' Kyle remained expressionless, knowing that although Bucky hadn't died, his future would be even more painful thah, having been trolled by fn govers as a war mae for over half a tury, with his humanity eroded.

  Kyle wasn't good at f people, so all he could do at Steve's shoulder and say, "Stay strong. Sacrifices otlefield are on for soldiers. Don't let this affect the mission."

  "I know." Steve took a deep breath, lifted the unscious bald professor from the ground, and stood firm. He said, "But the mission is plete. This target tried to bite down on a poisoned capsule for suicide, but I knocked him out."

  "It seems the intelligence was correct. The members of the Hydra anization have a tendency to carry poison capsules and use them for suicide." Kyle nodded, p, and said, "Now, all we o do is safely evacuate with the target."

  "And that's the problem here." Steve's resolute face revealed a bitter smile as he poio the smoke-filled and fiery trol panel. "That explosion not only bsted through the exterior on both sides of this carriage but also damaged the train's trol sole. The train is currently in an untrolble state, and is speeding up."

  "Ihe train's speed should have already exceeded 150 kilometers per hour, and it's still accelerating. It's impossible to stop it now," Kyle said as his eyes fixed on the sparks flying from the train wheels as he quickly devised a pn.

  At such a high speed, even jumping off the train would pose a life-threatening risk, not to mention the fact that on both sides of the train were either steep cliffs or snow-filled valleys.

  If it were just him, he could simply use the Forced Teleportation of his Stealth ability. However, with Steve and the hostage in tow, that was not feasible.

  Steve offered his suggestion, his face filled with . "It seems we only make our way to the rear carriage of the train and disect the e between the lootive and the rear carriages. Hopefully, this will bring the train to a halt."

  Kyle shook his head aoed the idea. "You're thinking too much. If I remember correctly from the gcial map of this area, ohe trais this long and straight mountain tunnel, it will immediately make a turn. At this speed, even if the lootive and carriages separate, the carriages won't have enough time to stop and will derail and fall."

  Steve asked with a serious expression, "So what do we do then? Are we just going to do nothing and wait for the train to derail and fall?"

  Kyle fell silent for a moment, then suddenly stared directly at Steve and asked, "Do you trust me?"

  Steve was momentarily taken aback, then without hesitation, he replied, "Of course! If I 't trust you in this world, then whom I trust?"

  "The's do nothing," Kyle said with a mysterious smile. Making the decision seemed to ease his mind, and his face rexed, devoid of any sense of danger.

  He said with fidence, "Wherain bursts out of the tunnel and is about to derail and fall, I'll tell you to jump, and you'll take the hostage and jump towards the cliff in the valley."

  "Jump off a cliff?" Steve looked at Kyle in astonishment, still puzzled. The bottom of the cliff wasn't a deep river but a frozen, solid riverbed.

  "Don't you trust me?" Kyle shrugged.

  "Alright, if you tell me to jump, I'll jump," Steve replied without further questioning. He held the hostage securely on his shoulders, prepared himself, and faced the tunnel wall.

  Within a matter of seds, as the train, traveling at a speed exceeding 200 kilometers per hour, swiftly reached the end of the tuhe darkness was instantly dispelled by the bright daylight outside.

  The dazzling white light made Steve squint his eyes involuntarily. Simultaneously, the train they were on began to shake violently, and the wheels pletely disied, causing sparks to fly.

  "Crack!" The r train was supposed to follow the tracks as it turned, but due to the excessive speed, it suddenly derailed at the bend and charged straight toward the empty space above the cliff.

  The frigid wind, carrying snowfkes, rushed into the carriage, and the sense of weightlessness, signaling the immi fall of the train, emerged.

  "Steve, jump!" Before Kyle could finish his sentence, he had already leaped out of the carriage, taking the lead.

  Without hesitation, Steve, carrying the hostage, followed closely behind Kyle, jumping from the train and plummeting down several hundred meters of the cliff.
