Chapter 157: Resistance (150,000 extra update, thanks to Ni Lanxuan True Alliance Leader)
As an interstellar military heavy synthetic brigade, the Iron Guard 52nd Brigade possessed very powerful combat capabilities. However, under the oppression of the giant object in the sky, the poured firepower was like hitting a towering mountain, making people feel powerless.
Hum~!
A huge macro-sound vibrated from the sky, the clouds dispersed, and the air shook violently.
The mountain-like atmospheric mica gradually revealed its majestic umbrella edge from the clouds and slowly moved toward the front of the airport.
The pilot of the War Eagle aerial gunship looked at the huge outline in the darkness at this moment, cold sweat dripping, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Target attention successfully captured, all flight units retreat quickly!"
Boom!
A dazzling blue light from the electromagnetic railgun flashed past the cockpit, and at the same time, the radar began to warn crazily.
"Unknown biological body detected approaching, unknown biological body detected approaching!"
Woo!!!
The pilot climbed crazily at this moment, the War Eagle aerial gunship's engine roared, and before it could turn, a huge tentacle descended from the sky!
Bang!
I don't know when, in the fog of the rear airspace, a sky mica with extremely fast swimming speed appeared, and the tentacles swept across. The close-in defense guns on the airship swept crazily for a few seconds, and in the next instant, it was completely blown up.
The airship made a huge explosion, and the fire illuminated the sky.
"War Eagle 03 crashed, War Eagle 03 crashed!"
"Enable aerial situational awareness, emergency avoidance!"
"It's behind!!"
Tat-tat-tat!!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four dazzling electromagnetic cannons roared toward the sky, shattering several black-winged strange bodies, but more flying strange bodies began to pounce from the clouds.
Along with the earthquake just now, all the zombies seemed to have become more violent.
"General, the aerial formation has suffered heavy losses, and Area D is almost unable to hold!"
On the high wall, deputy Ma Xiaotang was covered in blood, his eyes already red from killing.
"How is it on Bai Shuang's side?"
"Not fully loaded yet, there are too many people."
Zhang Dingzhong looked back. At this moment, most of the survivors' vehicles in the plaza had driven into the ascending track hall. Only the corpses of dead soldiers and survivors were left on the ground. The blizzard roared, and the red blood and white flying snow were mixed together, which was extremely tragic.
He looked at the tide of corpses swarming in the city again, his face as calm as water: "These monsters are like crazy."
"Yes, I don't know why..." Ma Xiaotang said urgently: "Those monsters seem to know we are going to evacuate. Every time we accelerate an action, they become more violent, whether it's in the sky or underground, they all came!"
"Strange, can zombies and those bugs guess our plan?" Another sergeant also said.
"It's the same for us in Fengcheng, Chong'an, and Xinglong. Every time our troops move in on a large scale, we encounter larger-scale attacks. It's really hell."
Zhang Dingzhong's face showed sharpness: "The more urgent the enemy is, the more they want to slaughter us, which means our resistance is more meaningful."
At this moment, in the ascending track hall, the traction steel cables of the four trains had been connected, and only a small part of the vehicles were still being loaded and unloaded.
In the high-level management carriage inside the Silver Star, more than a dozen well-dressed people were holding a tense meeting.
"The engineering team has pre-checked the operating conditions of the horizon gateway in advance. I have a proposal. If the system detects abnormalities in the gateway and mechanical traction device during the climbing process, we must immediately disconnect the rear traction steel cable to ensure the safety of all personnel on the train!"
A middle-aged man with a noble face said.
"I second that."
"Agreed."
Jian Zeyang also raised his hand at this moment, looking at Jian Xuwei, who held the decision-making power at the front: "Sister, we have done everything we should do. If there is a problem, it means this plan has a problem in the first place. We adopt the emergency avoidance method, which I think is completely reasonable."
Jian Xuwei remained silent at this moment, her expression slightly condensed: "I just communicated with Captain Lin of the 'Infinite' about this problem. He gave me a proposal. If the high-pressure threshold of the gateway does not exceed 30%, do not disconnect the traction steel cable."
"30%?!!"
"This is too risky. I think 15% at most is already very dangerous."
"Exactly."
Hearing this, everyone discussed it one after another. Jian Zeyang frowned and said angrily: "His proposal? Why should he propose? Of the four trains, their 'Infinite' has the least load, and their train configuration is simply a disaster. The Gemini 11r with the largest power is placed at the back, and the front is a broken gas turbine that is useless now. That kind of thing should have been eliminated by the era long ago!!"
"Chairman, at this time, I don't think we can take such a risk. It's their business if they are willing to fight..."
"Yes, this risk is too great."
Many old people on the board of directors expressed opposition one after another.
Jian Xuwei swept her gaze over everyone lightly: "Your worries are very reasonable. Since that's the case, our Silver Star will arrange a special anti-aircraft team to contain the monster in the sky and gain some time for the Silver Star to enter the high-altitude corridor. This glorious mission of the anti-aircraft team leader, everyone, who is willing to take it?"
As soon as these words came out, the conference room became quiet instantly. A group of people looked at each other. Some swallowed saliva, some widened their eyes, and when they saw Jian Xuwei's gaze sweep over, they all avoided it.
"Zeyang."
Jian Xuwei looked at Jian Zeyang at this moment, and the latter's expression stagnated immediately.
"Do you know what the Finger Group has relied on to develop to this day?"
Jian Zeyang opened his mouth and avoided Jian Xuwei's gaze.
!
Jian Xuwei gave a cold laugh, got up and walked slowly past the board members, her eyes sharp.
"It relies on continuous progress, and also relies on the 500,000 Finger employees spread all over the world. An enterprise that only guards its foundation will not be evergreen. The development of human civilization originates from the excavation of courage. There is success, there is failure, there is progress, there is sacrifice. The traction steel cable behind our train is tied to 4,000 lives, which is a gamble exchanged by the large number of sacrificed Iron Guard Brigade soldiers for us to carry. And since it is a gamble, it needs to break the routine and challenge courage."
"This courage, someone has paid it for you, no need to feel ashamed, just do what we can do."
In the carriage, the atmosphere quieted down.
"Notify the engineering team." Jian Xuwei wore high heels and walked elegantly toward the front of the train: "The disconnection procedure of the rear traction steel cable must be authorized by me personally!"
On the other side, the emergency team members were carrying out the last few sets of traction platform loading and unloading.
A large number of missing personnel and wounded were also transferred to the Iron Guard Brigade's intercontinental train.
"Team Leader Bai, it should be about time." Wei Kexue operated on the computer quickly: "Now the engines of the four trains are being tested, and the channel has been cleared. The airport radar shows that the atmospheric jellyfish is leaving the top of the high-altitude corridor channel."
Bai Shuang nodded: "Notify all convoys and team members to check personnel boarding, and set off immediately after the Iron Guard Brigade and Security Regiment personnel retreat!"
Boom, boom, boom!
Outside the ascending track hall, fierce resistance was still going on, the sound of artillery fire shook the air, and at this moment in the hall, all the survivors' convoys had driven onto the traction platforms.
Fear and tension continued to spread in the crowd.
Shu Qin, sitting in the off-road vehicle, looked at the long convoy and the train, as well as the high-altitude channel that went straight up, her expression extremely solemn. Old Mo, Xu Jin, and others were also extremely nervous at this moment.
All trains were ready to go. Many survivors on the trains and cars lay on the windows, looking at the convoy that was like an ant army and could not see the end, and they all widened their eyes, their heartbeats accelerating.
On the "Infinite".
Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan stood in the cockpit, looking at the high-altitude channel climbing into the sky, their expressions extremely urgent.
"Are we leaving?"
"Wait for the scheduling from the emergency team."
"The Iron Guard Brigade people don't seem to have retreated yet..."
Lin Xian's eyes condensed slightly: "The Iron Guard Brigade's intercontinental train is dragged at the end, which is to facilitate their retreat and boarding."
"With so many people, if we reach Jiazhou City, it should be much safer."
Lin Xian replied: "I don't think so. Jiazhou City is also a big city like Yubei. Even if it doesn't have the polar night zombie siege like here, it won't be much better, including later we might have to avoid big cities."
Such a large-scale strange body attack was no less shocking to Lin Xian than the Apocalypse Day, which made him realize that the night strange bodies really seemed to have some kind of consciousness, launching attacks on human clusters.
The words of Old Mo and Wei Kexue also gave him a certain reminder. If they followed the original route and reached the oceanic orbit without any trouble, they would also have to consider the subsequent train driving problem. If they transferred away from land, they would have to upgrade the train's all-terrain mobility, and risking the oceanic orbit would require more consideration, otherwise, facing the endless deep ocean in the darkness, the situation would be even more severe.
Chen Sixuan looked at him: "Yes, no one expected the situation in Yubei to be so severe."
Lin Xian's expression was solemn: "However, if we want to upgrade the train drive system, we either pass Jiazhou and take the northeast line to chase the Phoenix Society Dawn Center, or follow the original plan to take the circumstellar line to Star City, but the old Federal government might not welcome us."
