The trains are all entering the ascending elevator docks!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From panic to learning the emergency team’s plan, the survivors on the square erupted like a boiling cauldron, each filled with stunned disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Federal Investigation Team’s aerial craft were annihilated, the airbase’s air defense systems readjusted their targets to the anomalous entities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wooo~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining three Hawk-class aerial gunships and multiple Lightning-2 aerospace fighters of the Taitiewei surged into the sky, heading straight for the colossal entity above the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hawk 0203, do not engage—lure the target’s attention toward the front of the airbase.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hawk 02, received.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hawk 03, received.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clank-clank~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The missile bays of the aerial gunships slowly opened, launching several large air-to-air missiles, while the front-mounted i-17 multi-blade plasma cannons began gathering electric light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two brilliant plasma beams streaked across the sky, exploding within the clouds, their glow revealing the vast, slowly undulating bell of a giant jellyfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dingzhong led his troops to the E zone at the center of the airbase—this was the central axis facing Yubei City, where the elevated rail and the broad street below stretched for kilometers, now completely black with a sea of corpses, countless grotesque insects and human anomalies weaving through them; each time the 1130 CIWS cooled, another wave of metallic devastation would surge, annihilating countless corrupted beings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ma Xiaotang, deploy the remaining Iron Guard 3s and Destroyer mechs to zones A, C, and here—even the ones under repair, if their weapons still fire, turn them into defensive emplacements.

Bring them all out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most were destroyed after the last EMP strike—only one remains.” Zhan Wei stepped forward, firing his machine gun in a rapid burst to mow down a wave of climbing zombies: “Old Commander, let me operate it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall white armed mech was delivered by a transport vehicle; Zhan Wei rushed forward, climbed into the cockpit, and activated the engine mounted at the mech’s rear—Wooo~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engine roared; Zhan Wei raised his control arms, and the mech’s massive arms lifted—left arm, a six-barrel Gatling cannon; right arm, a 60mm heavy grenade launcher. He leapt off the transport and charged toward the front line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle escalated further!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, hold the line!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let these beasts break through!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out for the anomalous entities’ flame jets!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. 2 cannon, reload and prepare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need flamethrowers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracer rounds slashed across the sky, illuminating the entire No. 1 Airbase with fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ascending elevator’s upper hall, four highly mechanical large trains were lined up side by side along four elevator tracks, behind them yellow traction platforms stretched like conveyor belts—each modular platform 100 meters long, capable of securing around twenty vehicles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead of the vehicle traction platforms stood four massive ascending traction devices, linking the platforms to the trains; once successfully entering the high-altitude corridor, these devices would electromagnetically accelerate the traction platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the command of the emergency team and each convoy leader, countless vehicles now queued into the preparation hall, entering the traction systems; thousands within the ascending hall worked frantically—some helping each other, young people climbing down from their cars to assist other teams, securing vehicles for the emergency crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, artillery raged; electromagnetic railguns above kept pounding; due to unstable power, the hall’s lights flickered dimly then flared bright again. Facing the terrifying creature above, some prayed, others trembled in fear—everyone’s life hung by a thread, yet all bowed their heads and pushed forward with this near-insane plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the high-altitude corridor without the ascending elevator was an undeniable test of thrill and uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the traction cables snapped, if the ascending elevator and high-altitude corridor collapsed, if the corpse tide breached…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could imagine what awaited in the next second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This night, for every survivor here, was destined to be endless darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the front train tracks, Chen Sixuan held a flashlight and inspected the horizon gate of the Whale 03e heavy gas turbine locomotive alongside the building; the onboard system was performing a self-check. The “Infinity” team, except Ding Junyi, were all on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the other three large trains, the “Infinity” seemed remarkably slender—even with its quasi-intercontinental Twin Star 11R nuclear-electric locomotive, its power and onboard equipment clearly lagged behind the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the “Infinity” was assigned the fewest traction platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the Baishuang Emergency Team’s allocation, based on remaining payload capacity: the Silver Star received 1,000 vehicles, with over fifty traction platforms behind it; Longshan No. 1 received 700; the Taitiewei’s intercontinental train received 600; Lin Xian’s “Infinity” received only 400.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin, Xu Jin, Old Mo, and Jiang Yun’s convoys were all attached to the “Infinity”’s traction platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Per the plan, once successfully entering the high-altitude corridor, all four trains would detach from the platforms and synchronize via the system, allowing the vehicles behind to be electromagnetically accelerated first, then the four trains would re-divide onto separate tracks and accelerate using their own engines to cross the Dazhu Plateau!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian, with Kiki and Jiang Yun’s help, was now manufacturing and connecting the train’s traction cables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Kexue deployed over a dozen maintenance robots to assist with welding reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I installed a disengagement device—once we reach the corridor, we can detach and save time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian, drenched in sweat, kept checking his watch: “Kiki, our train only has one horizon gate—unlike the Silver Star, which has a full setup with eight drive units. If things turn critical, you’ll have to hold the train steady, or the mechanical traction hooks might snap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.” Kiki nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry,” Jiang Yun walked over, looking at him: “You’re not the only one with abilities that can help—I’ll act when it matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind-based abilities could indeed provide major support here; Lin Xian nodded: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This plan had simmered in Lin Xian’s mind for a long time—he’d intended to propose it during his discussion with Wei Kexue—but it carried serious risk. Who would attempt such a dangerous maneuver unless the situation had become utterly desperate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xian’s tension, Kiki’s eyes flickered: “Lin Xian, I believe in you—I’m sure this plan will succeed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian took a deep breath, his hands still busy: “Honestly, I’m not confident either. As Jian Zeyang said, if we were going up alone, our chances would be high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a human perspective, Lin Xian shared Jian Zeyang’s thought—if the airbase had simply opened all other exits without regard for order, these trains might have already fled on their own, without needing to queue for the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The risks Wei Kexue mentioned were merely hidden dangers—nothing more than criticism for ignoring escape route safety and shifting those dangers onto the vehicle convoys behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Lin Xian understood that Baishuang had considered this—perhaps even intended it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taitiewei had already suffered heavy losses and been forced to retreat to the airbase, while the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1 weren’t just heavily armed—they were also packed with people who could bolster resistance at critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could see this; Jian Xuwēi, Jian Zeyang, Shi Di, and others must have seen it too—but under these conditions, if anyone tried to defy the emergency team and charge out without airbase authority, it would spark resentment and conflict among other survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by the corpse tide, everyone chose unified resistance; Baishuang had kept the situation under tight control. Had it not been for the sudden earthquake and the Federal Investigation Team’s interference, things might not have deteriorated so rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian’s plan wasn’t about heroism or grand ideals—it was simply the best solution that could protect his own group while accelerating everyone’s evacuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom-whirr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a stronger earthquake struck again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-19T18:20:04.953Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6bcaf7ad43b96ea03ec2cb35b1dcd685f8fa2c94a34b72a4168b15e5f39531b4","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-157","apocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-chapter-155",541,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-built-an-infinite-train-cover.jpg"]
