Chapter 158: Corpse Driver

~8 min read 1,539 words

"General, the ascending track hall is ready!"

On the high platform of Area E, the adjutant rushed over urgently to report.

Tat-tat-tat!

Under the artillery fire, more and more human anomalies and strange bodies appeared. These monsters were much more powerful than zombies and always brought large-scale casualties.

Boom!

The artillery shell exploded, and a missile accurately hit a fog spider on a high building. The huge spider collapsed toward the building next to the street, and the front glass curtain wall shattered and fell.

Zhang Dingzhong held a machine gun and stood at the front, his thermal weapons quickly harvesting the lives of those monsters.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The giant tentacles of the atmospheric mica in the sky slowly descended over the city, bringing down a piece of building collapse. The airport's searchlight shot over, and even the full picture could not be seen in the field of vision.

Ang hum!

A pale white light suddenly flashed for an instant.

"General, look!"

"What is that?!"

At this moment, the Iron Guard Brigade soldiers who were resisting changed their expressions and looked toward the center of Yubei City in the distance.

Zhang Dingzhong's firepower stopped at this moment. He looked over, and his pupils shrank instantly!

In the center of the city, in the darkness and fog, a human-shaped black giant shadow slowly appeared. Roughly estimated, the figure was at least a hundred meters tall, with arms almost hanging to the ground, and strange bone strips like wings on its back. 'It' stood in the middle of the city, seemingly gazing at the direction of No. 1 Airport.

"Corpse Driver?"

Zhang Dingzhong looked at the black shadow, his expression solemn: "It really is exactly the same as the intelligence said."

That huge human figure was like an alien creature, carrying a powerful sense of oppression, making people shudder.

On the high wall, the Iron Guard Brigade officers led by Zhang Dingzhong all looked at the human-shaped giant shadow in a daze, as if it were some kind of human existence from a higher dimension. Just one look made their scalps tingle.

And ever since the huge Corpse Driver appeared, everyone felt that the large number of strange bodies, zombies, and even the jellyfish in the sky in the city seemed to be driven by some kind of "keeper," gathering toward the airport.

"Is its goal us?"

"Previous sighting events were also on the timeline of polar night coverage..."

An officer exclaimed: "Is this treating us all as prey, driving us all the way here, and then slaughtering us all?"

"No wonder so many zombies are rushing in one direction."

Zhang Dingzhong's eyes flickered, looking at the huge figure, and he said slowly: "Do you feel that thing is like fishing with a net?"

In the fishing industry, after several fishing boats cast their nets, they drive in a specific way, the gathering angle becomes smaller and smaller, and finally, a large number of prey are forced into the fishing net and then caught on the boat.

And this sky-filling tide of zombies and strange bodies is like layers of airtight fishing nets, driven by the 'Corpse Driver' along the edge of the polar night, driving humans like bugs.

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be the case."

"Fishing?"

An officer said with a solemn expression at this moment: "We originally thought that those monsters only existed in the darkness and hunted everywhere. If so, then the 13 star abysses on the Blue Star..."

"Aren't they just 13 fishing nets that are constantly extending!"

His words made everyone feel a suffocating pressure.

After everyone vaguely realized that the polar night seemed to have some kind of consciousness and was hunting humans, under that kind of fear, a sense of powerlessness and anger began to emerge!

"Damn it, treating us like fish!!" An officer gritted his teeth and cursed.

"Go to hell..."

"Where on earth did these things come from!?"

Everyone cursed one after another.

"It seems we guessed right. After that thing appeared, the monsters became more violent. We can't hold on anymore. General, retreat!" Ma Xiaotang shouted at Zhang Dingzhong urgently at this moment.

Hum hum!

The anti-aircraft weapons in the airport base fired at full power, constantly annihilating the monsters attacking from the sky.

Uh ah! Uh ah!

The tide-like zombie army let out earth-shattering roars.

"Retreat?"

"If the defense line retreats, these beasts will rush faster than the tide, and no one inside will be able to escape..."

"Right, if we retreat, everyone inside will be finished!!" An adjutant stood out at this moment and said.

Zhang Dingzhong looked at the countless human anomalies, black insects, and strange monsters rushing toward the high platform like crazy. Below the high wall, corpses were already like mountains.

Boom, boom!

Another fighter plane fell, burning with fire in front of everyone, crashing into a street in the city, making a huge explosion.

Zhang Dingzhong looked around at the tide-like zombie and monster army in Yubei City, as well as the huge 'Corpse Driver' towering in the center of the city, his eyebrows condensed slightly, and he said sadly:

"Fengcheng didn't hold, I left. Chong'an didn't hold, I left. Xinglong didn't hold, I still left..."

"Today, I, Zhang Dingzhong, am not leaving."

As soon as these words came out, all the officers' expressions changed slightly, and a few traces of determination slowly appeared in their eyes.

"All units!"

"Here!"

"At all costs, guard the airport for me, and ensure that the people in the ascending hall successfully evacuate!" "Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their eyes firm.

"Ma Xiaotang!"

"Here!" Ma Xiaotang's eyes shook, and he stood out without hesitation.

"Take out that big firecracker."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dingzhong walked to the front, looked at the atmospheric mica in the sky and the 'Corpse Driver' in the center of the city, his eyes sharp, and he gave a light laugh.

"Treating us humans like fish, then I'll let you see what a torpedo is!"

Inside the ascending track hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Many armed personnel on the survivors' vehicles took out weapons on the cars, looking at the hall channel in the distance, waiting for the Iron Guard Brigade soldiers to retreat and support.

Bai Shuang and the emergency team members were also waiting for news from that side.

!

Beep~

At this moment, Bai Shuang's communicator rang, and she connected hurriedly.

"This is the emergency team, this is the emergency team, all personnel are ready, you can evacuate."

Beep.

"Team Leader Bai, General Zhang notifies you that all convoys immediately enter the ascending track and set off. Repeat, all convoys immediately enter the ascending track and set off!"

"Wh... what?"

Bai Shuang's expression changed drastically, and she pressed the call button urgently, only to find that the call had ended.

Wei Kexue and others next to her were also stunned when they heard this.

"They... aren't they retreating?"

"What does it mean..."

"It hasn't been two hours yet!"

"Did the Iron Guard Brigade encounter any trouble?"

Boom, boom, boom!

Outside the ascending track hall, the sky-filling artillery fire rang out. Bai Shuang gripped the communicator in her hand tightly, her breathing was rapid, and her lips were trembling. She understood, and her eyes set, ordering the emergency team members:

"Everyone, get in the car, prepare to set off."

Wei Kexue's expression stagnated. At this moment, he took a deep breath, and his hands began to operate the airport climbing channel to release the climbing elevator limit.

At the same time, the other three trains, Lin Xian, Jian Xuwei, and Shi Diyuan, also received Bai Shuang's notification.

30 seconds later, start the 'Traction Plan'!

"We are leaving, everyone get ready."

Inside the "Infinite", Lin Xian notified others and the convoy behind.

"The Iron Guard Brigade people, didn't come back."

Chen Sixuan looked solemn and said to Lin Xian.

"I know." Lin Xian's expression was very complex at this moment. He said in a low voice to Chen Sixuan: "You... find a place and sit down."

The notification to set off had been issued, which meant that all the 'passengers' were in the ascending track hall at this moment...

Chen Sixuan and Shasha came to the No. 1 carriage to find a safe place. Kiki also came to the cockpit to prepare to handle emergencies for Lin Xian at any time.

The building and Lu Xingchen sat in the cockpit of the nuclear-powered locomotive and fastened their seat belts.

And Ding Junyi came to the research cabin alone, found a corner with a handrail, squatted on the ground, and waited for the train to start.

Behind, Xu Jin, Shu Qin, Old Mo, Jiang Yun, and others also grabbed whatever they could on the cars, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

【30, 29, 28...】

【20, 19, 18...】

【10, 9, 8...】

【3】

【2】

【1】

Woo!!!!!!!!!!

In an instant, all the train engines roared. On the wheel tracks, the horizon gateway descended slowly and embedded in the rails, emitting a faint light.

At the first moment, Lin Xian, Jian Xuwei, Shi Diyuan, and Bai Shuang said at the same time:

"Start, prepare to climb!"
