Chapter 263: Rushing into the Snowfield

Gravity! Lens!

Activated at full power, in an instant, Lin Xian only felt his energy being drained like a floodgate!

High above in the sky, a piece of space began to distort rapidly. In an instant, that mass of distorted space began to expand rapidly, twisting and swallowing the large amount of Tyndall effect light projected from the gaps in the clouds, and a dazzling halo began to appear!

At this time, a phantom sun seemed to appear in the sky hundreds of meters up, the light dazzling like an ultra-large daylight lamp, instantly brightening the entire canyon pass area, and the visibility in the wind and snow became much clearer.

And at this moment, the gaps in the wind and snow dissipated. There was actually a moment that felt like a clear winter afternoon. This light was like a torch, instantly causing the figures of a large number of Snow Demons and Snow Demons to distort extremely. Hisses shook the sky, and black smoke began to seep from the skin and joints of the anomalies. The originally tide-like demon tide now frantically burrowed into the snow layer, causing the resistance pressure of the entire convoy to suddenly relax.

At the same time, the firepower of the entire convoy was projected onto the giant abyss worm. Various explosions and metal jets bombarded it, and in an instant, smoke and dust rose, and black flesh and green blood flew everywhere.

Ang, hum!

A massive swallowing force was transmitted from the giant mouth. It burrowed out of the ground for dozens of meters, actually twisting its mouthparts rapidly, wanting to sweep across the entire escaping convoy, completely unlike before when it just suddenly popped out and burrowed back into the ground.

But its sweeping swallow with rage did not work; instead, its hard black skin was melting and distorting rapidly, to the point that an armor-piercing projectile could produce greater power than usual, and large amounts of blood clots fell to the ground.

Empty, empty, empty, empty!

Snow dust and gravel on the ground suddenly vibrated and exploded. Shi Diyuan was holding a 155 howitzer in one hand, his eyes angry like a tiger, his body like a tiger's body. Longshan No. 1 had already driven past from the side. He was preparing to fire with both hands, but was shocked to find that the monster was frantically shrinking into the ground, and hurriedly shouted, "It wants to run!!"

Daytime was not the home field for this nocturnal anomaly. Facing a monster of this city-destroying level, this was the best opportunity to severely damage it. How could Shi Diyuan and the others easily let go of this opportunity?

As soon as the words fell, the entire convoy wished they could shoot out their gun barrels together. Even on the technical team's vehicles, many people were using automatic rifles and pistols to fire at the monster with full power.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The abyss worm shrank rapidly into the ground. Lin Xian was covered in cold sweat, gritted his teeth, and borrowed the last bit of strength to reach out and clench his fist!

The distorted dazzling light cluster began to condense inward in a Fibonacci spiral. The next moment, a scorching ray about the thickness of a water bucket shot down!

Boom!

The scorching ray bombarded the body of the abyss worm directly, and immediately black smoke and steam rose like a giant wave on its worm body!

Hum!

On the other side, on the left wing, Abai took off his sunglasses, and two laser beams also shot directly at the side of the worm body at close range.

In just an instant, accompanied by the giant worm falling frantically, the laser beam tore a terrifying cut of more than ten meters on its body like a hot knife cutting through butter.

And Lin Xian's gravity ray only lasted for 1 second, but it directly pierced through the upper wall of the worm body, causing a scorching white light to emerge from the pitch-black abyss mouthparts.

Empty, empty, empty, empty!!

Snow dust and gravel exploded, shaking the sky. The abyss mouth shrank back into the ground frantically the next moment. Under the smoke and dust, only a giant circular pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was left, and a large amount of outer skin and tissue flesh were scattered around, even splashing onto the vehicles of the convoy that rushed past.

Rumble, seismic waves began to transmit violently, and large swaths of mountain snow at the pass slid down.

Shi Diyuan was still not satisfied, grabbed two 155mm howitzers, and threw them into the giant pit. After a few seconds, two explosive sound waves came from the hollow giant pit; obviously, they had bombed empty.

Hum, hum~

At this time, the convoy of the defensive line finally drove past the giant pit, drove away from the pass, and drove toward the direction of the flat snowfield.

"Damn! Let it run away!!!" Shi Diyuan said angrily.

Bang, bang, bang!

"Humph!"

And at this time, on an armed vehicle, the machine cannon in Chen Wei's hand stopped firing. Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, the hot machine cannon muzzle was slightly red, and snowflakes falling on it made a boiling sound.

"Definitely, definitely hurt it!!" In the communicator, Company Commander Sun said with heavy breathing, "I guess it won't dare to come out again for a short time."

"Before dark, anyway." Qian Dele stood on the roof of the vehicle, having also spent a lot of energy just now, and fanned his face with his hand at this time.

"Each vehicle report casualties!!"

"Not out of danger yet, prepare ammunition, don't slack off!" The leaders of the other convoys also shouted in unison at this time.

Yu Yu stretched his head out of the vehicle window, and together with the technical team members, looked at this scene with horror. From the emergence of the abyss worm to just now, it was actually only half a minute, but it felt like they had experienced a terrifying life-and-death battle. The giant worm body and the abyss mouth carried a sky-filling sense of oppression. If it weren't for that strange telekinetic power protecting the convoy, I'm afraid that in that instant, at least 1/3 of the vehicles would have been unable to control themselves and been sucked in!

"How is Chen Wei?!" Looking at the armed vehicle where Chen Wei was in the distance, Yu Yu immediately shouted to the colleagues on that vehicle.

"Temporarily okay!" The reply came from there, and Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, although terrifying, it can indeed be hurt during the day, and can even be beaten back!" Inside the vehicle, a researcher holding his backpack said with a nervous expression.

"Yes, it seems that the whole team charging together is the best way. If the power is dispersed..."

Yu Yu sat back, heard the words of the two, and his expression was a bit complicated, but at this time he nodded approvingly and said, "Professional things should still be done by professional people. If Team Leader Li hadn't died, he should have had such a judgment."

"Team Leader Yu, this Lin Xian is indeed powerful." The researcher said with a surprised look, "A mechanical psychic, besides creating machines out of thin air, can actually control the weather. Could it be that he can combine psychic power with mecha?"

Yu Yu blinked. "The ability to create machines is indeed very magical. We need to record this matter in detail. If we reach Xilan City, we will immediately find the courier team to upload the information to the headquarters and see what the feedback from above is."

"I think the Nightwalker organization must have already set its sights on this talent."

Another middle-aged researcher said nervously, "This kind of psychic power is comparable to strategic level in functionality. The Nightwalker department will definitely not let it go."

Yu Yu pondered slightly upon hearing this, thinking about something in his eyes, and did not speak...

On the other side, the steel traffic flow finally closed and drove toward the distance, carrying the sky-filling snow dust.

Because of the flash of light just now, the large number of pursuing Snow Demons had decreased a lot, but as time passed second by second, and the blizzard began to intensify, boiling sounds began to ring out in the boundless snowfield. Fortunately, the movement of the earthquake seemed to have gone far away, allowing everyone's hearts to relax a little.

"Left wing, loss of 3 vehicles, 9 people!"

"Right wing, 4 vehicles, 17 people!"

"Middle, 2 vehicles, 7 people."

In the communication frequency, the statistical report of personnel killed made the atmosphere between the convoys a bit heavy. Kiki returned to the passenger seat with a pale face, sighed long, and said, "So hateful..."

Xiaoqing, who was driving on the side, looked at her silently, then took back her gaze and drove quietly.

Lin Xian heard that the girl was a bit self-blaming. At this time, he was also exhausted, leaned on the seat, closed his eyes to rest, and said, "It's already the limit of what we can do."

Although her psychic power had been enhanced by the energy of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum many times, taking care of hundreds of vehicles at once, and almost all of them were heavy vehicles, was really a bit beyond Kiki's ability.

"This stinky guy is too smart, actually popping out from there."

"It seems that our detonating the black worm's corpse didn't cause any effect, just caused some chaos to the monster tide."

This phenomenon also fully explained that Yu Yu's previous method of fleeing with blood was completely wrong. That abyss worm might not be afraid, or even if it was afraid, it was the huge deterrent feeling brought by the initial machine, not the plasma of the same kind.

"Chen Laoshi."

Driving into the sky-filling snowfield, Lin Xian had no time to relax and immediately began to contact the Infinite.

"Lin Xian, I'm here!" Chen Sixuan's voice came, making Lin Xian feel a sense of relief in his heart.

"We have passed the pass, about 40 minutes or so to arrive, still in the original route direction, there are many monsters, our ammunition cannot last too long."

"Okay, I know, you guys be careful."

Although they rushed out of the first wave of encirclement, Lin Xian couldn't feel at ease at all. Just now, in order to beat back or even severely damage that abyss worm, many psychics including him had been dispatched with full power, and ammunition was also projected without reservation. If the expected effect was not achieved, and the abyss worm rushed out again before rendezvous with the Infinite and Longshan No. 1, the convoy would likely be in great danger.

The sky was gradually getting dark, and there was only this one opportunity to attack. Although dangerous, it had to be without reservation, so even if Lin Xian's plan was complete, this was a big gamble.

"Everyone pay attention to firepower alternation. Now the road is open, keep the formation. At close range, let psychics and skilled enhancers handle it. If there are no four-legged monsters, try to reduce firepower output."

"Rear vehicle, Captain Qian, your anti-aircraft guns pay attention to suppressing those two winged anomalies. As long as they don't sweep the team, don't fire. They shouldn't dare to come out in the thundercloud now."

In the communication frequency within the convoy, Lin Xian began to arrange synchronously.

"Also, pay attention to the vehicle condition. After approaching the track line later, Longshan No. 1 and the Infinite will have to break the ice and rush up. The speed may be very fast, must keep up."

Lin Xian's words were conveyed by the leaders of each convoy. At this time, the expressions of the drivers of each vehicle were extremely solemn, and their attention remained highly concentrated.

"The blizzard has increased, it seems the temperature will drop tonight!"

On the all-terrain train of Longshan No. 1, Xiang Ningjing looked at the temperature gauge, which was already minus 59 degrees, frowned and said, "Currently, the situation in Xilan City is also unclear. I hope we can persist until there before dark."

Inside the vehicle, many team members were accidentally frostbitten during combat, especially their hands and faces, and some even had their hands cracked and bleeding from the cold.

"Persist, we will see the main force soon." Shi Diyuan walked through several carriages loudly and shouted to his subordinates.

After speaking, he picked up the communicator and contacted Lu Yong of Longshan No. 1.

"Yongzi, preheat the artillery in advance. In this weather, don't freeze the gun barrels. It won't look good if it misfires then."

"Click, click... sizzle... okay... understood, Brother Shi."

On the armed vehicle of the Emperor Project team, Chen Wei leaned on the back row. At this time, a medical staff member was giving him an IV drip on his wrist. At the same time, another person was applying medicine to his hands. Front burns, back frostbite, his hands were bleeding constantly, looking very terrifying.

"Hey, Chen Wei, how are you?!"

Yu Yu's voice came from the communicator.

"Won't die." Chen Wei closed his eyes and said lightly, "How about you guys?"

"Xiaoyang is dead." Yu Yu sighed and said, "He was on that vehicle."

Chen Wei opened his eyes suddenly upon hearing this, took a deep breath, his eyes full of anger and powerlessness...

On the polar vehicle, click, click, click. Lin Xian urged the Mechanical Heart to repair the vehicle windows and doors, blocking the cold wind outside. The heater in the vehicle gradually began to play a role, and the air became a bit warmer.

Kiki glanced at Xiaoqing next to her and said to her, "Hey, let me drive. I see you seem to really want to take action."

Xiaoqing turned her head to look at her upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Xian, and said in a low voice:

"You guys... rest."

Her voice sounded like a very careful maturity. Lin Xian and Kiki were both a bit tired just now. At this time, a large number of Snow Demons were attacking the front of the formation. Xiang Ningjing and Shi Diyuan on the Longshan No. 1 train next to them had already gone to the roof to deal with the monster tide again. Xiaoqing also wanted to help, but Xiang Ningjing's task for her was to drive, so she could only remain silent. Now hearing Kiki's words, she finally got some spirit, so she handed the steering wheel to Kiki, flew out with her blade, and joined the camp of killing enemies.

Kiki sat cross-legged in the driver's seat, controlling the steering wheel and accelerator of the polar vehicle with two fingers using telekinesis, while supporting a telekinetic shield to block those Snow Demons that suddenly jumped out from the snowfield ahead.

"I heard that Hu Lushou mentioned the Emperor Project before, I thought we could get a super-large mecha~"

Kiki said faintly, "As a result, we got into a lot of trouble and didn't get any benefits."

"If there was enough time, that mecha might... still be saved, but we can't take it away." Lin Xian said.

"Are you talking about the Phoenix Society?"

"No, such a large mecha, besides combat use, is usually hoisted by a Hercules transport plane. Now a Vulcan mecha carriage can't even fit it, let alone this one..."

!

"Oh, that's true, but it's very cool." Kiki looked at the rearview mirror. "Brother, don't you feel tempted by such a cool mecha?"

Lin Xian's gaze was burning, thinking of the high-frequency blade chain sword that the initial machine used to kill an abyss worm, and couldn't help but feel excited.

Such an Emperor mecha seemed to be born for his Mechanical Heart, and it was also one of the potential development directions of his Mechanical Heart.

Exhausted, Lin Xian leaned against the window of the polar vehicle, watching the rolling convoy driving on the boundless snowfield. Snow Demon monsters were rampant, gunfire was burning, and the resistance convoy of hundreds of people was fighting with full power. This seemed to be the first time he had taken a vehicle to escape a monster tide...

"The train is still safer..."

He murmured. Hundreds of vehicles, every time one overturned, several people died. As the leader of a large convoy, the pressure seemed to be much greater than his.

Lin Xian seemed to understand Shu Qin a bit, fleeing all the way, a narrow escape from death.

Tired, too tired.

In a trance, the fire and gunfire outside were sky-filling, and the killing was constant, but Lin Xian felt his energy was a bit exhausted. Dizzily leaning against the window, he actually fell asleep.

In his dream, he returned to Jiang City, returned to his apartment shelter.

Beep, beep, beep, the prompt sound of darkness arrived. As usual, he pulled up the alloy iron gate made by mechanical psychic power, sprinkled deodorant in the corridor and doorway, turned off the lights, huddled in the pitch-black room, listening to the strange movements from upstairs and downstairs, feeling the bursts of whispers and hisses outside the street.

Wandering zombies passed by the car frames scorched by the fire, and the rotten tracheas emitted uh-uh hisses.

Lin Xian sat on the floor in the corner of the bedroom, with his short blade beside him, waiting for the night to deepen, waiting for the dawn.

Whoosh, whoosh~

A gust of wind came from the living room. His windows had long been tightly closed, and it was impossible for there to be wind. Lin Xian searched in the darkness, but found that in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, a black shadow seemed to be standing.

Instantly, he picked up the short blade and rushed out of the bedroom, but there was no one outside.

He found that the balcony floor-to-ceiling window was completely open, the night wind was howling, blowing the curtains fluttering.

Lin Xian concentrated and walked out to the balcony, looked up, and was shocked to feel that his eyes were obscured by a terrifying giant object in the sky. His pupils focused rapidly. He saw a floating giant corpse that blocked out the sky overlooking the entire Jiang City. The body, like a continent, moved slowly in the high sky, completely blocking all the moonlight. The entire city seemed to only have the rustling outline of shadows left.

"No. 2 creature, moving! Moving! Direction east, direction east!"

A hurried voice suddenly rang in his ears, as if someone was reporting with a communicator.

Lin Xian immediately looked sideways to find, but there was no one.

"Who are you!?"

Suddenly, the voice shouted sternly, as if it was coming toward him.

Lin Xian was immediately horrified. Who was in his home?

He turned his head suddenly, but found a black shadow standing in the corner, seemingly looking at him.

"Lin Xian! Lin Xian!"

Wrapped in a warm force, Lin Xian felt that his energy had recovered a bit. At this time, he opened his eyes and felt a cold chill coming.

【Physical sign detection: body temperature too low, body temperature too low!】

The alarm sound of the power armor also rang in his ears from far to near.

Hiss!

Lin Xian woke up immediately, looked at his watch, 17:40, he had slept for ten minutes.

Was that a dream just now? This was the second time he had seen that floating giant corpse. The shock was still surging in his mind, and his face was lost.

Bang, bang, bang, da, da, da!

Outside the convoy, the sound of gunfire and artillery fire gradually intensified. Kiki was driving the car at this time, shaking him with telekinesis, her small face full of anxiety: "What's wrong with you, I shook you for a long time and you didn't wake up."

Lin Xian's face was pale, he took a few long breaths, rubbed his eyebrows, and then said: "Just now I was a bit exhausted, fell asleep, now I'm better."

Kiki breathed a sigh of relief and said with some worry: "That move of yours is too energy-consuming, but it's really powerful, even that big worm could be pierced by you."

Lin Xian nodded. Gravity Lens was his most powerful means now, but the shortcomings were also very obvious. Besides consuming energy, it was very difficult to use during the day. If it weren't for the anomalies in the snow brought by these extreme cold vortices being able to attack humans during the day, he really couldn't think of a place to use it.

"I found that what those monsters fear doesn't seem to be the light itself."

Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "Did you notice, in the sunlight, these anomalous existences seem to become extremely unstable."

Kiki thought about it after hearing this and said: "At first I also thought they were afraid of sunlight or ultraviolet rays or something. Just now I also found that it doesn't seem to be the case, especially those Snow Demons, just like being torn by something."

Lin Xian nodded: "So daytime is indeed safe for us. The dark tide is to completely cover with extreme night. The only advantage we humans have now is actually dawn!"

Bang, bang, bang!

On the roof of Longshan No. 1, the firepower line of the heavy machine gun swept over the top of the polar vehicle. The powerful metal jet instantly took away a piece of Snow Demons that burrowed out of the snow layer, and the ground was full of bloody blood.

Lin Xian opened the window and tried to find the direction of the Infinite in the snowfield in the blizzard using the observation mode of the power armor. Because there were signal pillars, the overall direction of the convoy did not deviate, but at this time the sky was gradually darkening, and there was still more than an hour before dark.

"We should not be far from the north line track!"

In the communicator, Xiang Ningjing's voice came. She was standing on the roof of Longshan No. 1 at this time, her fists covered in demon blood, and said to the communicator: "Lin Dui, is it time to start the train."

"Not enough time yet!" Lin Xian shouted. She looked at her watch and calculated the distance.

Under the blizzard, the speed and direction of the car were always prone to deviation, so Lin Xian asked Kiki to find the nearby signal pillar and drag it back to the vehicle. The signal pillar he made had a number, which could facilitate him to calculate the distance to the train.

"There should be about 15 kilometers left, and it can't be seen at all now."

If the Infinite started, then the direction of the signal pillar closest to the train would be wrong. It was best for the convoy to see the train in a visual state, but in the blizzard at this time, the visible distance was not even one hundred meters. Following the signal pillar back was the safest method. Once the train left, the entire convoy might lose its direction and could only turn to run toward Xilan City.

But at this time, the Snow Demons in the entire snowfield began to gather toward the convoy in large numbers. Above the sky, giant winged creatures whistled down, occasionally sweeping over the convoy, trying to take away living people or overturn cars. Fortunately, there were anti-aircraft machine cannons to suppress them. Once the convoy lost this heavy firepower suppression, the hundreds of people in the entire convoy would become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Can't see anything, and want them to start in advance, this rendezvous is simply too difficult." Xiang Ningjing said eagerly.

Click!

Shi Diyuan twisted off the heads of two Snow Demons from the air, landed on the roof of the vehicle, and said sternly: "Within two kilometers we should be able to receive the signal on the train. As long as the direction is correct, we won't run away."

"Our speed can't keep up with Longshan No. 1. Now the snow is getting thicker and thicker. Once we rush up, we can't slow down. We must find the right time!" Xiang Ningjing said.

"Report, this is Yu Yu of the Phoenix Society technical team."

Just when the convoy was facing huge pressure from the demon tide, and at the same time the Infinite and Longshan No. 1 were waiting for the signal to start, Yu Yu's voice suddenly came from the communicator.

"Team Leader Yu, please speak." Lin Xian was constantly calculating the distance at this time, still calculating in his heart, and then heard Yu Yu say in the communicator: "We just lost a base antenna to do a test. Currently, we can contact the range of 2 kilometers in a straight line, but this number is decreasing due to the influence of the blizzard, and a safe distance needs to be reserved."

On a large snow vehicle, Yu Yu calculated rapidly on the computer and said at a very fast speed: "So I simply designed a mathematical model. Our convoy speed is now 60km/h, and the direction and the north line track present an 86-degree angle. Ignoring the visual distance, we can only determine the direction through signal positioning. Lin Dui told me before that the train needs 4-6 minutes to break the ice and accelerate and at least increase to a speed of 60km. If the speed is too fast, we can't keep up, and if the speed is too slow, we will be dragged by the Snow Demon tide. The best way is to start in advance, we also turn, and use the speed of 60km to keep up with the train..."

"Get to the point!!" Lin Xian shouted directly. It was such a critical moment, and these researchers still liked to talk about problems from the perspective of principles.

Slap, slap, slap, Yu Yu operated rapidly on his hands, then raised his glasses confidently and said in the communicator: "After entering the range of three kilometers, you can immediately let the train start. We turn 30 degrees to the right, and we can reconnect the signal on the train in 2 minutes. As long as the direction and speed are not wrong, we will rendezvous with the train in 4 minutes, and the error will not exceed too much."

Lin Xian felt settled upon hearing this. He was irritable just now, actually just wanting a more precise number, and Yu Yu just solved the urgent need.

"Okay, let's observe the signal direction, don't go astray!" Lin Xian said.

In all directions, besides the Snow Demons gathering more and more like a tide, besides that, there was only the boundless snowfield and the raging blizzard. In this situation, the 2-kilometer signal coverage range compared with the speed of the vehicle was actually just a very small signal point. Once missed, it would be completely out of contact with the train. In this situation, one could only find the track marks on the ground to chase.
