~9 min read 1,696 words

The terrifying giant shadow in the sky was like a mountain. The huge outline that appeared instantly with the flashing lightning brought a suffocating sense of oppression to the hearts of all survivors.

"My god, what kind of monster is that..."

"So scary!"

"What to do..."

"Look, those trains are starting to drive into the climbing elevator inner port!!"

The survivors in the plaza, from panic to learning about the emergency team's plan, were all filled with surprise, as if the pot had exploded.

As the Federal investigation team's action airship was completely wiped out, the anti-aircraft equipment above the airport readjusted its target to the strange body target.

Woo~

The remaining three War Eagle-class aerial gunships and multiple Lightning 2 aerospace fighters of the Iron Guard Brigade all took off at this moment, heading toward the giant object above the clouds.

"War Eagle 0203 attention, do not engage in entanglement, attract the target's attention to the front of the airport."

"War Eagle 02 received."

"War Eagle 03 received."

Clang, clang~

The missile bays of the aerial gunships opened slowly, and several large air-to-air missiles shot out. At the same time, the airborne I-17 multi-petal plasma cannons in front of the gunships began to gather electric light.

Boom! Boom!

Two shining plasma cannons flashed across the sky and exploded in the clouds, the light illuminating a huge jellyfish umbrella edge, slowly rolling.

Zhang Dingzhong led the troops to Area E in the center of the airport. This was the central axis facing Yubei City. The elevated tracks and the wide streets below for several kilometers were already pitch black and filled with a tide of corpses. A large number of strange insects and human anomalies shuttled through them. Several 1130 close-in defense guns would usher in a destructive metal frenzy after each cooling, obliterating a large number of fallen creatures!

"Ma Xiaotang, mobilize those Iron Guard 3 and Destroyer mechs to Area A, Area C, and here. Those under repair should also be topped up. As long as the weapons can still fire, use them as defensive fortifications. Two hours, even if we die to the last person, you must hold it for me!"

"Yes!"

"Zhan Wei, what about your security regiment's patrol mechs? Take them all out."

"Most of them were damaged after the last electromagnetic pulse encounter, there is one left." Zhan Wei walked forward holding a machine gun, and with a burst of sweeping fire, he killed a wave of zombies climbing up: "Old Chief, let me operate it."

A tall white armed mech was sent over by a transport vehicle. Zhan Wei took the lead, went up, sat in the operating cabin, and started the engine located behind the mech. Woo~

The engine roared. Zhan Wei raised the operating arm. The mech's two huge arms were raised. The left arm was a 6-barrel rapid-fire Gatling cannon, and the right arm was a 60mm large grenade launcher. Immediately, he jumped off the transport vehicle and rushed toward the front of the battle line.

The war continued to escalate!

"Brothers, hold on!"

"Don't let these beasts rush in!!"

"Watch out for the flame spray from the strange bodies below!!"

Boom, boom!

"No. 2 machine gun, prepare to load!"

"Need a flamethrower!"

"..."

Tracer bullets pierced the sky, and the fire illuminated the entire No. 1 Airport.

At this moment, in the climbing elevator ascending track hall, four large trains with a strong sense of machinery were already lined up side by side on the four elevator tracks. Behind them were yellow traction platforms like conveyor belts. This modular traction platform was 100 meters long per train and could fix about 20 cars.

In front of the car traction platform, there were four large climbing traction devices, connected between the car traction platform and the train. After successfully entering the high-altitude corridor, the car traction platform would be electromagnetically accelerated by this device.

A large number of cars were queuing to enter the maintenance hall under the command of the emergency team and the captains of each convoy, and began to drive into the traction device. Thousands of people in the entire ascending track hall began to work busily. Some helped each other, and some young people got out of the cars to support other convoys, helping the emergency team members to fix the vehicles.

Outside, artillery fire was everywhere, and the electromagnetic railguns above were constantly bombarding. Because the power was unstable, the lights in the entire ascending track hall dimmed from time to time and then became bright again. Facing the terrifying monster above the sky, some people were constantly praying, and some people had panicked expressions. Everyone was hanging by a thread, but they could only bury their heads and carry out this almost crazy plan.

Rushing onto the high-altitude corridor without the help of the climbing elevator was definitely a test full of excitement and unknowns.

If the traction steel cable breaks, if the climbing elevator and high-altitude corridor collapse, if the tide of corpses invades...

No one could imagine what they would face in the next second.

This night, for all the survivors here, was destined to be a long night without dawn!

On the train track in front, Chen Sixuan was holding a flashlight and checking the horizon gateway of the Whale 03e heavy gas turbine train with the building. The on-board system was also doing self-checks. The "Infinite" team, except for Ding Junyi, was all extremely nervous.

In front of the other three large trains, the "Infinite" appeared much "slimmer". Although it also had a quasi-intercontinental-class Gemini 11r nuclear-powered electric locomotive, both its power and on-board equipment were obviously not as good as the other three.

Therefore, the traction platform allocated behind the "Infinite" was also the least.

According to the allocation of Bai Shuang's emergency team, based on the remaining power load of the trains, the Silver Star was allocated 1,000 cars, with more than 50 traction platforms behind it. Longshan No. 1 had 700 cars, the Iron Guard Brigade's intercontinental-class train had 600 cars, and Lin Xian's "Infinite" had only 400-plus cars.

The convoys of Shu Qin, Xu Jin, Old Mo, and Jiang Yun were all mounted on the traction platforms on the "Infinite".

According to the predetermined plan, once successfully entering the high-altitude corridor, all four trains would detach from the traction and be merged by the system, allowing the cars behind to pass through the traction platform for electromagnetic acceleration first, while the four trains behind would re-track and accelerate by their own engines, passing through the Dazhu Plateau!

Lin Xian was currently working with Kiki and Jiang Yun to manufacture and connect the train's traction steel cables.

!

Wei Kexue mobilized the dozen or so maintenance robots to help with welding and supplementation.

"I set up a decoupling device. As long as we successfully get on the corridor, we can complete the decoupling to save some time."

Lin Xian was sweating profusely at this moment, constantly looking at the time on his watch: "Little girl, we only have one horizon gateway on the train, unlike the Silver Star, which has a high overall configuration, and there are 8 drive train sets. So if there is an emergency, you have to help me press the train, otherwise the ascending mechanical traction hook cable might break."

"I know." Kiki nodded.

"Don't worry." Jiang Yun walked over and looked at him: "There is more than one ability user who can help. At the critical moment, I will also take action."

Wind-type abilities can indeed provide great auxiliary effects at such moments. Lin Xian nodded: "Thanks."

This plan had been brewing in Lin Xian's mind for a long time tonight. He was ready to propose it when he discussed it with Wei Kexue, but this plan was indeed quite risky. If it weren't for the situation being so critical, who would be willing to try such a high-risk operation?

Looking at the nervousness in Lin Xian's expression, Kiki's eyes flickered: "Lin Xian, I believe in you. I think this plan will definitely succeed."

"Thanks."

Lin Xian sank his breath, his hands working constantly: "Actually, I have no bottom in my heart. Just like what Jian Zeyang said, if we just rush up by ourselves, the grasp is still very high."

From the perspective of human nature, Lin Xian actually had the same thoughts as Jian Zeyang. If the airport directly opened other channels without considering order at all, then these trains might have already run by themselves, without needing to queue for the climbing elevator.

And the risks mentioned by Wei Kexue were actually just some hidden dangers, at most criticized for not considering the safety of the escape channel, thereby imposing these hidden dangers on the car convoy behind.

So Lin Xian also understood that Bai Shuang actually had this layer of consideration, and it was even intentional.

The Iron Guard Brigade had previously suffered a heavy setback and was forced to return to guard the airport, while the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1 were not only powerful in firepower but also had many people, which could increase resistance at critical moments.

He could think of this point, and people like Jian Xuwei, Jian Zeyang, and Shi Diyuan could definitely think of it too. However, under such circumstances, if one had to be maverick and resist the emergency team and then rush away regardless of airport management, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among other survivors and even trigger conflicts.

Under the premise of being besieged by the tide of corpses, everyone chose to resist together. Bai Shuang could be considered to have controlled the situation very well. If it weren't for the sudden earthquake and the trouble caused by the Federal investigation team, perhaps things would not have deteriorated so quickly.

Lin Xian's plan was not to be a hero or for the sake of righteousness, but to consider that this was indeed a solution that could take care of himself and transfer everyone faster.

Boom hum!

At this moment, a more intense earthquake than before struck again.
