Chapter 142

Squeak~

Finally, the "Infinite" drove into the front of the No. 7 track sequence and began waiting for the tower's dispatch.

In an instant, Lin Xian felt as if he had entered the order of human society again, and the loneliness of drifting in the dark night suddenly diminished a lot.

The train stopped steadily. Lin Xian opened the carriage door and stepped off. Looking around, the massive airport platform was densely packed with convoys waiting in line. After nightfall, all the large entry and exit gates of the airport had been closed and locked.

Under the night sky, the horizon was dim. The machine gun sentry towers on the airport walls were spewing firepower continuously, and several 1130 close-in weapon systems were guarding the air. On the building platform above the ascent elevator, there were also two electromagnetic railguns emitting pale blue electric foxes. In addition, there were a large number of damaged and ineffective defensive devices. It was clear that these existing weapons should have been urgently deployed and repaired by the Phoenix Society for the airport platform.

A large number of survivor convoys on the airport platform were waiting for the ascent elevator sequence, and there were all kinds of survivors everywhere in the square.

A large number of Iron Guard Brigade troops were moving through the crowd, and transport vehicles were constantly delivering various weapons and ammunition to support the external defense lines.

In just an instant, a strong smell of gunpowder smoke rushed into everyone's nostrils.

Chen Sixuan swept her gaze around and said worriedly, "The situation looks very tense. If the defense line falls, people here won't know where to run."

At this time, Xu Jin, Shu Qin, Old Mo, and others also parked their cars and walked over.

Xu Jin looked at the ascent channel in the high sky and sighed, "Looking at this situation, the queue will probably last until the second half of the night."

"So many jellyfish have come; I don't know if the Iron Guard Brigade can hold out." Shu Qin said.

"With the Iron Guard Brigade's firepower, they should be able to, as long as it's not the one we encountered at Daluo Mountain that day." Old Mo waved his hand. "Don't underestimate the army's firepower. The most troublesome things are the night invasion and internal infection, as well as those big things."

Lin Xian was a bit curious: "Didn't we receive information from the Airport Guard Regiment earlier? Why haven't we seen a single one?"

"Guard Regiment? Those people are all in the inner port protecting that group of rich people now."

A bold voice came over. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, middle-aged man walking over. He had a square face, a thick beard, a beer belly, and was wearing a thick plush coat. Several people followed behind him. As soon as he walked over, his gaze kept scrutinizing the Infinite behind Lin Xian.

"What a strange configuration. An old-fashioned heavy gas turbine locomotive pulling, but letting a Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive drag behind? What kind of operation is this?"

"Gas turbine locomotives are not suitable for running away at all; there's no guarantee of energy."

"The armor plates look like good stuff, like standard parts..."

"It seems like there's armor but no weapons."

"But they don't seem to have many people; it's very impressive to be able to get it to this point."

"Hey! Don't point fingers at others!" The middle-aged man interrupted, then swept his gaze toward Lin Xian and reached out his hand. "Let's get to know each other. Longshan No. 1, Shi Diyuan."

Longshan No. 1?

Lin Xian looked at the intercontinental heavy doomsday train in the distance that looked like a mobile city, understood, reached out and shook his hand, and said seriously:

"Infinite, Lin Xian."

"Infinite? Sounds very domineering." Shi Diyuan nodded and got straight to the point: "Many people saw the big fire in the sky south of the city just now. The airport had already been closed but was specially opened for you. I guess you encountered some big guy, right?"

"There were many big jellyfish!" Shasha interjected at this time. "Didn't you see them?" "There are plenty of big guys in the night." A woman behind Shi Diyuan said: "We've encountered quite a few things in the sky..."

"You said the Guard Regiment is all in the inner port just now. What does that mean?" Lin Xian asked in confusion.

"He should be talking about the people from the Federal Investigation Team." Ding Junyi behind him picked up her computer and walked over. "I have already contacted them using the airport's information system. This investigation team was specially sent by the Star City headquarters to investigate the accident at Underground City No. 9. My identity authorization and that of Dr. Zhao and others are still in the system, so I read their mission log. This investigation team is also responsible for transferring some first-class citizens and senior management personnel who were stranded at the airport during the previous great migration. It has the nature of a rescue mission."

Hearing Ding Junyi's words, Lin Xian was suddenly a bit confused. Did they let them in to pass just now because Ding Junyi contacted the Federal Investigation Team?

"So the headquarters of the original Federal Government is now set up in Star City? Aren't they afraid of being covered by the polar night?" Kiki asked.

Ding Junyi looked at her. "The Federal Government's doomsday policy has always been the Underground City Plan. This point has never changed."

"What a bunch of damn old stubborns!" Ever since Kiki learned about the self-destruct agreement of Underground City No. 9, she had shown extreme disgust for the original Federal Government organization.

"Hahaha, indeed a bunch of old stubborns. This investigation team arrived the day before yesterday. It looks like they are preparing to use a large airship to take hundreds of people away." Shi Diyuan said disdainfully: "These bastards, mobilizing the Airport Guard Regiment to guard their flight port, would rather not fire a single shot to protect those first-class citizens of theirs than come to support the defense line. So now the defense line is full of Iron Guard Brigade soldiers."

"Yes, the Iron Guard Brigade suffered heavy losses yesterday and was originally returning to the airport to regroup. Now they are shouldering the defense of the entire airport and haven't rested for days."

As soon as these words came out, everyone frowned.

Many people knew that the Iron Guard Brigade had encountered a fierce battle at Daluo Mountain and suffered heavy personnel losses. Hearing the behavior of the Federal Investigation Team, everyone felt somewhat indignant.

!

Lin Xian asked, "Why does the Airport Guard Regiment have to obey their orders? Isn't the current official government the Apocalypse Phoenix Society?"

"It's not that simple. The Phoenix Society has only been established for a few months. There are still many bad debts between the old government and the new government. The Airport Guard Regiment belongs to the local city armed forces, not as clearly defined as the mobilization orders of the Interstellar Army and the Iron Guard Brigade." Old Mo raised his sunglasses and walked out to say.

Before the words fell, a group of armed personnel with live ammunition drove over in several shuttle buses. There seemed to be several Federal Government officials on them, and they soon arrived at the airport square.

The leader was a blonde woman in her early forties, wearing black leather and sunglasses, walking with great vigor. She looked like a white person from North America at a glance.

Seeing the attire of those armed personnel, Ding Junyi immediately said:

"Airport Guard Regiment, those should be the Federal officials."

Lin Xian looked at the train behind. On the train, Zhao Yan and Xu Wen were still hiding in the carriage and didn't dare to get off, so he said to Ding Junyi:

"Since you have your people here, let them both come down."

Ding Junyi glanced at Lin Xian at this time and said: "The people from the investigation team may want to communicate with you. No matter what they say, you can just refuse directly."

Lin Xian chuckled. "Survivors now are, in a sense, citizens abandoned by your Federal Government. So from a 'sociological' point of view, I am not under their jurisdiction. Just let them take care of themselves."

Survivors are fleeing everywhere, and social order has fallen apart. Currently, only the Apocalypse Federal Phoenix Society is organizing survivor aid globally, including the Interstellar Army and the Iron Guard Brigade, which are also dispatched by the Phoenix Society. In this situation, the original Federal Government is no different from a non-governmental organization in Lin Xian's eyes.

Ding Junyi didn't hear the sarcasm in Lin Xian's words at all, just looked calm, put her hands in her pockets, and waited for the Federal officials to come over.
