Chen Wei, who had been manning the machine gun, looked up at Lin Xian on the train, then swiftly reloaded and resumed firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold the line!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck, how the hell are there so many?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaah, we’re out of ammo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop whining—it’s not dark yet. If you want to live, run. You can’t kill them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, other convoy leaders’ voices crackled through the comms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crushing pressure swept through the convoy. Under these conditions, only desperate flight remained. Against these endless snow wraiths, bullet counts might not even match monster numbers—the horde surging from the blizzard showed no end. Even Shi Di, who had seen many large-scale battles, now wore an expression of grave seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the snowstorm, Ningjing soared through the air, pulverizing a four-legged snow demon with a single punch, then landed on the train and spoke to Shi Di, who was hurling grenades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We won’t reach Xilan City until late at night. We’re barely holding on before dark—what do we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsu-tsu-tsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden afterimage charged in as Qian Dele rolled his wrist forward: “Hey hey hey, we need to speed up—only by charging forward can we shake them off. If something worse appears after dark, we won’t even be able to run.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t go any faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm—the psychic shockwave blasted away a wide swath of snow wraiths. Lin Xian and Kiki retreated as well. He caught the flying black gun in one hand and said quickly: “This much snow? This is already top speed. Longshan No.1 is already using the horizon gate device. With so many monsters charging, even the rails can’t hold firm. Go any faster and we’ll derail and flip!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Di shouted loudly: “We won’t hold out this long on ammo. We planned to alternate fire, but damn it—every monster in the entire Yazehu region has shown up! Looks like they’re determined to wipe us out completely!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ningjing’s face darkened. Such a situation was bizarre. The Longshan No.1 team had faced monster surges before, but never had an entire region concentrated to hunt them like this. First, the monsters had converged toward Trakama Ice Valley, leaving the northern route empty—now this massive army surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wondered: Could these monsters be targeting the Emperor Project team members specifically?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do?!” Qian Dele frowned. His convoy had already suffered heavy losses. With no ammo left, over thirty to forty vehicles—including supply and tech teams—had taken shelter on the train’s left flank, but behind them, another seventy to eighty armored vehicles kept losing personnel. At this rate, total annihilation could strike at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use the armor to hold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian declared decisively: “We have no other choice now. All psychics and enhanced personnel must climb onto the train to defend. Except for heavy firepower vehicles, all others shift to the left side. Retain minimal ammo to defend the left flank—minimize casualties first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good plan! Do it. After dark, weird entities might appear on the left too.” Shi Di looked back at the endless convoy: “If that happens, no one can protect them—they’ll become sitting ducks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’ll cut our firepower drastically!” Sun Kai replied from inside the tank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, this isn’t about firepower—we can’t kill them all.” Kiki immediately responded over comms: “If we shift the convoy, we reduce pressure on our support. Cars can’t take the hits like our train can.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!” Qian Dele nodded: “The convoy line is too long—we can’t cover it all. Better to concentrate our main force on the train than get picked off one by one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, reorganize the convoy formation immediately!” Sun Kai, experienced in combat, instantly understood the intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm-vrrrm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, only a dozen heavy polar vehicles accelerated to form a rear formation behind the train; all other armored vehicles surged to the left flank, shielding the supply and tech teams on the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, all psychics, enhanced personnel, and those carrying heavy weapons gathered. Lin Xian constructed hanging ladders on the train’s left side and rapidly built a row of curved iron needle walls on the right roof to repel climbing snow wraiths and large flying winged monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the roof of the high-speed train hurtling through the blizzard was packed with figures. Weapon stations unleashed torrents of fire from rapid-fire machine guns, anti-aircraft cannons, close-defense cannons, and railguns at sky and ground alike. Facing the endless tide of monsters, Infinity and Longshan No.1 were engaged in an unprecedented high-speed pursuit battle—nearly two thousand fighters involved, smoke choking the air, artillery thundering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside car 3 of Infinity, the center of Hell’s Black Chrysanthemum flared wildly crimson; the heteromorphic cube’s alarms never stopped. The force of dark invasion surged like a flood, pounding everyone’s mental defenses. Amid such extreme pressure and terror, compounded by -60°C blizzards, the suffocating sensation of death clung to every heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meteorite No.3 heavy sniper rifle cracked, shattering the skull of a large four-legged monster. Chen Sixuan specifically targeted the big ones. Suddenly, a black gun shot past, piercing the snow wraith right behind her. She turned in shock—her powered armor’s defense system hadn’t stopped alerting, yet still, some slipped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian rushed over, looking at Chen Sixuan: “Be careful. Protect yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan gritted her teeth, face stern, and raised her rifle again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Miao Lu also charged in; the two back-to-back began fighting together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zii!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arc pulse string resonator’s searing white plasma sparks erupted again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On car 5’s roof, Da Lou, out of ammo, wielded a steel-slicing greatsword alongside Lu Chang, who held a GK03 electric knife; together they fought desperately. Against the endless tide, even Lu Chang, whose martial arts had been enhanced multiple times, was beginning to falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lu Chang, drop!” Da Lou barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Chang reacted instantly, flipping backward without hesitation. Vrrrm—in an instant, the steel-slicing greatsword slashed horizontally, its whistling blade severing the snow wraith leaping behind him at the waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Lu Chang performed a somersault, his electric knife exploding with arcs as he hurled it backward. The knife spun rapidly through the air, slicing through a string of monsters before flying back like a boomerang and landing neatly in his hand. He’d modified it slightly—added a flexible steel cable, like a fishing line, with a reel device on his wrist. Lin Xian had built it for him back at Hengshan Pass; the process was simple, yet in just a few days, Lu Chang had mastered it so well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aaaahhhhh!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On car 12’s roof, inside the Sally cockpit, Shasha bit her tiny teeth, frantically firing the Fire God mech: “Kill them all! Kill every last one of these monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poom-poom-poom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Between the 1130’s firing gaps, the PX05 robot was loading the last ammo chain. Pressure slammed onto Shasha—all at once, dozens of monsters leapt onto the roof, stepping over the charred corpses of snow wraiths burned by plasma sparks. Two massive snow demons erupted from the snow, raising their long forelegs and slamming into the carriage’s grating armor, climbing up toward the Fire God mech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiki, suppressing the snow wraith horde from behind, turned and saw this—immediately shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire God mech’s defense radar blared. Its chest-mounted pulse string resonator erupted plasma arcs, blindingly bright—but these two four-legged monsters were huge, tougher than regular wraiths. Even after being struck by the high-temperature arcs, they didn’t stop, roaring as they charged straight into the mech’s Gatling gun fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ughhh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a colossal fire dragon erupted from Infinity’s right side, instantly annihilating snow wraiths across seven or eight cars. The two four-legged monsters clinging to the carriage were engulfed in searing flames; the scorching rush instantly carbonized their bodies, snapping their forelegs embedded in the grating armor. The monsters plummeted, burning with foul-smelling fire, leaving only two severed forelegs stuck in the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire God’s here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen activated his berserk state. His cold-weather suit had burned away; he landed on the roof, wreathed in roaring flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even crew members inside the carriage felt the surging heat. The right-side armor plating of Infinity glowed red-hot, steam billowing everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Fire Brother!” Shasha, eyes wide, exhaled in relief. She shouted toward the figure, swallowed hard, shoved the control stick forward, and prepared to rejoin battle—when suddenly, the mech’s radar blared. The nearby 1130 close-defense cannon, just loaded, rotated its base and swung its barrel toward the front of the horde, firing furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duuuuu!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A furious stream of metal roared out. Through the blizzard, a monster larger than any previous winged beast flew directly toward Infinity’s twin-star nuclear engine car, its speed parting the snowstorm like a shockwave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! It’s trying to ram the train!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Sixuan’s perception was extremely sharp. Seeing this massive flying monster not dive from above but fly horizontally, she instantly realized the danger—but with its size, raising her rifle now was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kiki appeared atop the nuclear engine car, hands clasped forward and thrust out. A conical force wave split the air like a blade, cleaving through snow and wraith horde alike, attempting to halt the charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, the giant winged monster unfurled its dozens-of-meters-wide fleshy wings, emitting a piercing shriek, and slammed directly into the psychic cone wall—knocking Kiki backward, face pale, blood spurting from its mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit!” Kiki muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you!” Lu Xingchen erupted in flames, charging forward—but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poom-poom-poom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Qin, Chen Sixuan, and others fired frantically—but couldn’t budge it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Kiki’s psychic wall shattered, the monster, as large as an entire carriage, swept aside thousands of snow wraiths and slammed straight into the train.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as every heart tightened, a thunderous collision rang out—the monster halted mere meters from the carriage, as if hitting an iron wall. A massive shockwave rippled outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing their eyes, they saw: in midair, Shi Di had transformed into a tiger form, Ningjing on his left, Qian Dele on his right. The three arrived instantly, combining forces to physically block the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three snarled as fists, tiger claws, and flying kicks—explosive with power—smashed the monster’s unopened split skull into pulp. The impact shattered its thick hide, splitting its body cleanly in half!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bam!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive recoil hurled it backward. Its spread wings crushed countless wraiths, carving a hundred-meter-long trail of shredded corpses and blood across the snowfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another one’s coming from behind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Split up!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go stop them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whooosh-whooosh-whooosh—the horde surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by second by second. On this front, every minute was hell for everyone. No one dared slack off. Inside Longshan No.1’s safe, a faint light glowed; dozens of children and teenagers huddled inside, heads bowed, silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed used to this life. Outside, gunfire rained, monsters howled, humans screamed—everyone prayed, terrified of hearing a familiar voice cry out in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resistance intensified. The horde’s assaults on the train never ceased. It was now 6 PM—nightfall was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, on Infinity, all personnel concentrated on the right flank. Even previously inactive logistics staff now picked up rifles and contributed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shattered grating armor let snow wraith tail stingers and claws lash at the carriage walls and windows. Several windows had shattered; the bitter cold plunged the interior temperature rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh~!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan, holding her rifle, was pierced through the arm by a snow wraith’s tail stinger, blood spraying. Simultaneously, two others began showing injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Yuan, go to car 3 and see Director Ding for the med-capsule!” a teammate shouted. “No—we can’t hold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yuan gritted her teeth, clutching her wounded arm, picked up her rifle from the ground, and raised it again to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poom-poom-poom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grenades and rockets exploded continuously within the horde. The heavy polar vehicles at the rear were nearly surrounded; snow wraiths crawled over their roofs, thick as insects, frantically gnawing at the armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Psychic waves surged, blasting wave after wave of monsters away. Golden afterimages tore through swathes of snow wraiths like golden needles piercing the horde—Qian Dele and Kiki had arrived to reinforce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s almost dark!” Yu Yuheng, seated on the vehicle, watched the blizzard outside, shouting over comms: “If we can’t shake them, we’ll have to risk accelerating!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once night fell, the horde’s attacks would grow even wilder, and countless unknown horrors would emerge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, despair welled in everyone’s hearts, fueled by the endless horde—and the dark invasion force carried by the extreme cold vortex intensified this psychological suffocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The communicator crackled with Kiki’s shout: “The vehicles behind can’t hold much longer—should we abandon them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abandoning them won’t help,” Qian Dele said calmly. “Without these heavy weapons to resist, we’re just waiting to die. We can’t protect this many people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian?!” Shi Di searched frantically and realized Lin Xian was no longer on the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian,” Chen Sixuan called through the communicator, hearing the others’ shouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait for me!” Lin Xian’s voice suddenly echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire raged on the roof, the situation dire—but Lin Xian charged into the Infinite Train’s carriage, entering through the elevator in Car 2 and sprinting toward Car 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Non-mechanical energy converted. 1000 mechanical source points acquired.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered the carriage, a holographic screen lit up before him—the dark energy absorbed by the Hell Black Chrysanthemum had been converted into mechanical source points, replenishing Lin Xian’s Mechanical Heart. At the same time, he felt a slight restoration of his vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suppressed his urgency, reached Car 3, where the Hell Black Chrysanthemum now glowed brilliant red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level 4 Dark Mark!” Ding Junyi seemed to guess Lin Xian’s intent. Seeing him rush in, she said at once: “We were wrong about one thing—the marks won’t keep stacking up to Level 5.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian spun around, his voice low and sharp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means only an S-class anomaly can apply a Level 5 mark!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Level 5 mark encountered by the Infinite Train was observed in Jiazhou—it must have appeared after the S-class anomaly and countless others marked the Yubei Airport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Junyi was puzzled as Lin Xian turned and left without further action. She’d expected him to do something else—instead, he’d just asked a question and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire snowfield was flooded with waves of snow wraiths. More and more large anomalies emerged. Vast volleys of anti-aircraft rounds shot skyward, suppressing the countless circling winged horrors above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The armor on Car 1 of Dragon Mountain and the right flank of the Infinite Train had been ravaged. Steel frames were now sieves; some grating armor had begun peeling off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t hold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can’t kill them all!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ammo! Ammo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flamethrowers ready!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrrrr!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 250,000-kilowatt combined train engine roared wildly, hurtling everyone through the blizzard. Behind them stretched an endless tide of monsters, their deafening roar shaking the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds, even thousands of snow wraiths scaled the Infinite Train’s roof. Da, Chen Sixuan, Lu Chang, Miao Lu, and Shu Qin were being steadily pushed back by the tide. Shasha’s Sally had long since exhausted her ammunition; she climbed out of her mech and picked up her own Thunderstorm A1 grenade launcher, standing behind her older siblings and unleashing relentless salvos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xingchen and Kiki fought desperately to suppress the waves surging from behind and the flanks. Though both were powerful wide-area adepts, facing the boundless snow wraiths within the blizzard, they now felt exhaustion creeping in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, we… we can’t hold much longer,” Kiki called from midair, her chest heaving. She’d taken heavy damage from her last move—her telekinesis had overtaxed her, making her hands tremble and her nose bleed intermittently. She wiped the blood away and fired another telekinetic blast at the swarm of four-legged horrors charging the nuclear-powered locomotive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No reply came through the communicator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next instant, a brilliant light erupted across the horizon—like a blazing sun. The light grew brighter, piercing through the blizzard, parting the clouds like dawn breaking through. A hole opened in the sky’s dark canopy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The twisted orb swelled larger, radiating dazzling halos, gathering the orange-red glow of the setting sun—then, before everyone’s stunned eyes, it exploded into ten thousand rays of radiant light!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a phantom sun in the heavens, like a lighthouse in the blizzard, it illuminated the snowfield below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gravitational Lensing!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian stood atop the head of the Whale 03e heavy gas turbine locomotive, one finger pointed skyward. His face and lips were deathly pale; crimson blood streamed continuously from his eyes and nose, a gruesome sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the last resort…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blinding light, like divine fire descending to burn away sin, pierced through the blizzard and mist, illuminating the land. The tide of snow wraiths and snow demons cracked apart—skin splitting inch by inch. Terrifying shrieks rose in chorus across the heavens. Black smoke and steam erupted from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one second, thousands upon thousands of monsters shattered and tore apart. The snow demons frantically burrowed into the snow to flee. The snow wraiths clinging to the train had their skins consumed like ash by the spreading cracks around them—all lost combat capability, reduced to screaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, everyone felt the pressure vanish. With overwhelming firepower, the once-swarming tide of monsters retreated with astonishing speed, vanishing into the snow. The roaring chaos receded in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vrrr~ The light vanished instantly. The blizzard and dark clouds once again filled the sky. Endless snow and wind rolled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep. Beep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The watch’s alert tone in his ears had grown faint and muffled. Night was coming. This was the final glow on the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the locomotive’s head, Lin Xian’s strength drained completely. He collapsed backward—until a golden flash passed, and a man with a faint scent of perfume caught him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Dele.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, handsome, you still got it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! At that moment, Lu Xingchen, Ningjing, Shi Di, and others rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, how are you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!” Chen Sixuan and Kiki sprinted over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine,” Lin Xian wiped blood from his face and forced himself upright against the freezing wind on the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he was unharmed, everyone exhaled in relief—but the suffocating despair remained unchanged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nightfall was imminent. Everyone knew the true horror had yet to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, almost no one had any energy left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do now? Night’s coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Di’s face was grim as he scanned the snowfield: “Ammo’s running out. Damn it—am I really going to die here today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s use this moment to regroup,” Chen Sixuan said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xian took a long breath, clutching a communicator, swaying as he sat down. His gaze drifted to the distant horizon, murmuring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope they saw it…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They?” Kiki asked. “Who are you talking about?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian, how are you?” Chen Sixuan, seeing his bloody, exhausted face, hurried to his side, worried: “Go get treated—this roof is ours now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait. Just wait,” Lin Xian said, pale-faced, teeth clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait for what?!” Everyone stared, baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a rumbling sound rose from the sky behind and to the side of the train—like some kind of aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like… it worked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sound, Lin Xian exhaled deeply, his strength finally gone. His vision darkened and he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As everyone panicked, they noticed a chaotic burst of static coming from Lin Xian’s communicator. Gradually, clearer voices emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Krk… krk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Krk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, every communicator in the group crackled with the same voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Infinite Train, Infinite Train, this is Recon Team 2, 7th Interstellar Military Investigation Corps. We’ve spotted your flare marker. Support forces from the rear are estimated to arrive at your position in three minutes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had the voice ended than thunder rolled across the blizzard—but it wasn’t thunder. It was the roar of countless aerial weapons approaching at supersonic speed, screaming through the sky!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3377,"2026-06-19T18:20:06.633Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
