Chapter 281: Above the High Skies (10,000 explosion

August 30th, Apocalypse Day 93, 1 day remaining until the Great Relocation of Xilan City.

A blizzard howls throughout the city, the temperature has reached minus 60 degrees, and looking out, everything is a sheet of white; icicles hang from buildings like pillars, and snow flies across the streets.

Near Central Avenue, the area is packed with dense streams of relocating traffic; countless survivors have solemn expressions, and the city-wide broadcast on public and convoy frequencies continuously transmits regional command voices.

Countless noisy sounds converge into two words.

Relocate, prepare.

These two simple words make tens of thousands of people feel a sense of oppression before a storm; the earthquake and attack before dawn have completely shattered the original peace within the city.

Everyone knows that the safety of Xilan City is gone, and what awaits them is battle as heavy as a mountain and unknown death.

"Where are we relocating to?"

"I don't know, just listen to the arrangements; asking is useless."

"It's over, it's over. Can we even wait for the evacuation? I heard large-scale strange entities have appeared in the city, and even the Phoenix Society can't react in time."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense."

"The vehicles behind, keep up closely."

"Stay away from high-rises, stay away from high-rises, pay attention to where you park."

"Notify everyone, perform snow clearing work on the vehicles every hour, no slacking!"

In the snow-filled streets, the massive relocating convoy is blocked solid, and under the command of the Phoenix Society, it is diverted to different areas.

In the driving queue, the plummeting temperature and the blizzard filling the sky almost completely block the line of sight; all vehicle windshield wipers are turned to the maximum but remain useless, the windows protected by grille armor are already covered in condensed frost, and even though the heaters inside the vehicles are turned to the limit, the drivers are frozen with red hands and feet.

"I heard some convoys took advantage of the daylight to leave the city early for evacuation."

"Forget them, in this kind of hellish weather, not following the main force is just asking for death; following the Phoenix Society gives us a better chance of survival."

"Then what if even the Phoenix Society can't hold on?"

"Crow mouth, if even the Phoenix Society can't hold on, do we still have a way to live? Or do you have a better choice?"

"A carload of people froze to death at Sun Park; they said the heater suddenly failed last night."

"Heaters, exchange heating supplies!"

"Vehicles on Tongzhou Road have broken down due to freezing, detour ahead, the maintenance team can't get in!"

"..."

Within the various frequencies of the communicators, the communication of each convoy is continuous, filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

In the east of the city, the Arctic Wind Alliance leads a main force of over a thousand vehicles to begin dispersing and relocating, mainly gathering at the Chengdong Park, the Capital Commercial Plaza, and along the White Feather River; this side is close to the camp of the 7th Investigation Corps' 2nd Regiment, the number of people is large, and ammunition for various types of heavy firepower is continuously transported to the Chengdong Demon-Resistance Front.

In the south of the city, this side has the most vehicles and cannot achieve an overall relocation, so under the command of the Phoenix Society, they begin to disperse and relocate to streets with relatively low building density; the playgrounds of some schools have become the main gathering areas.

In the north of the city, the vast majority are the dozens of doomsday trains docked at the rail passenger station and the joint convoy of Qian Dele, Zhou Lei, and others from the original Ice Valley Defense Line, including Mo Mo Nika's 'Queen Mo', which are all here; the firepower is not insignificant. Besides that, because of the North City Airport where the aviation combat formation is docked, the space is relatively open.

The freight rail platform where the Infinite and Longshan No. 1 are located is under Fenglan Mountain in the west of the city; this was originally the mining area of the Xilan Mining Group, and the most residential areas are basically factory dormitories; the terrain is relatively open, and influenced by Fenglan Mountain, the wind and snow are also relatively small. But because it is the furthest from the city center and the main street evacuation direction, the number of convoys choosing to dock here is the smallest; besides these two trains, only a few small convoy camps are stationed here.

The advantage of a train group is that as long as everyone is on the train, they are considered ready and can depart at any time.

Inside the carriages of Longshan No. 1, figures are busy; after Shi Diyuan returned, he arranged for the entire train to be combat-ready, the original free activity for today has also been canceled, and the interior of the carriages has begun to tighten its nerves.

Because the temperature has dropped, the train's heating system is also running at full load, and white mist continues to rise at the connections of each carriage.

After ability testing and the inspection of Queen Mo, Shi Diyuan also made a series of major adjustments to the defense deployment of Longshan No. 1; at the same time, the obtained heavy weapons and anti-aircraft guns have all been equipped by the engineering team. Longshan No. 1 does not have the free modification capability of the Infinite; these anti-aircraft guns are only installed on the weapon stations on the roof of the train, all ammunition belt supply is solved by manpower, and firing is also carried out by personnel in each carriage in a decentralized manner.

On the Infinite side, Chen Sixuan and Shasha sit in front of the information center, paying attention to the trends; the communicator and the Crimson Phoenix Order are placed on the table. At this time, Lin Xian, Kiki, Brother Huo, Dalou, Shu Qin, and other important combat forces on the train are resting. After being busy all night last night, Chen Sixuan did not expect the situation to suddenly become so tense. In order to cope with the night that will arrive in a few hours, Lin Xian arranged for all combat forces to seize the time to restore their energy while it is still daylight.

In the rear carriage, Miao Lu, Lv Chang, and Xiao Yuan are sorting out the parts Lin Xian manufactured last night to facilitate later use.

"Hey, Lin Dui originally said yesterday that everyone could relax well today and go for free activities." Miao Lu sighed, her face full of regret.

"Forget it, fortunately, no major problems have occurred yet, Lin Dui and the others can rest for a while, otherwise if everyone was busy all night and then encountered an attack, that would really be a disaster." Lv Chang said.

"How could that be." Miao Lu glanced at him while busy with her hands and said: "It's daytime now, okay."

"Not many hours left." Lv Chang said in a deep voice: "Lin Dui is already very cautious, he hasn't relaxed for a moment, and after two consecutive nights without rest, he finally finished the outer armor."

"Yeah~ thinking about it makes me tired." Miao Lu said faintly.

Xiao Yuan, who was silently sorting parts on the side, had worry on her face and spoke in a low voice: "Lin Dui, will he be exhausted?"

Miao Lu curled her lips upon hearing this: "I don't know, anyway, since we got on the train, I haven't seen Lin Dui rest much."

Xiao Yuan looked up at the front of the carriage, her gaze flickering slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The entire Xilan City is in a state of panic; at the same time, there are still many survivor convoys that broke through the wind and snow and escaped the clutches of the snow demons, successfully arriving in Xilan City, entering the city under the cover of the city defense front, and gaining a respite.

Beep, beep.

The sound of an alarm clock came, and Lin Xian woke up immediately, looking at the time.

15:00.

Having slept for three hours, the feeling of a heavy head has lessened a lot; he got up immediately, the Mechanical Heart operated, feeling that his energy had recovered a lot; at the same time, the train was unimpeded, indicating that nothing happened during the three hours he rested.

Getting up with a bit of dizziness, Lin Xian put on his cold-weather gear and power armor; he prepared to manufacture another 1130 on Carriage No. 5 as a firepower network before dark. Now his mechanical manufacturing level has been raised to level 5, and he estimates that he can finish this big guy in two or three hours, and he can also free up time to finish some bullets.

There should be no time for a fully automatic bullet stamping machine; currently, it is better to prioritize key things. If he survives tonight, he will also prioritize the electromagnetic cannon and power armor.

Calculating back and forth, time is really limited.

Clang.

Opening the door of the sleeping cabin, Lin Xian saw a bowl of pear soup placed on the workbench next to it as soon as he faced it; reaching out to touch it, he found it had already gone cold.

However, he was tired and thirsty at this time and couldn't care about that much; he picked it up and drank it in a few gulps; a feeling of icy coldness made him shiver uncontrollably, and his whole person felt much more spirited.

Immediately, Lin Xian walked quickly towards the rear carriage, preparing to manufacture weapons.

And at this moment, the communicator transmitted Chen Sixuan's voice.

"Lin Xian, are you awake?"

"Yeah, where are you?"

"On the platform, someone has come, it's Uncle Wu and the others!"

Lin Xian stopped his steps upon hearing this, immediately turned around, opened the carriage door, and went down.

Walking out of the 'Assembly Workshop', the empty train platform between Longshan No. 1 and the Infinite was now densely packed with hundreds of vehicles, most of them large vehicles; however, as soon as Lin Xian saw those military heavy trucks and the doomsday vehicles modified from engineering vehicles, he knew that this was the Daying convoy and the Running Far camp's vehicles; besides that, there was also a strange convoy of snow heavy base vehicles.

"Lin Dui!!"

In the wind and snow, a young man wearing a thick down jacket shouted at him loudly; Lin Xian looked over and found it was Luo Yang of the Chasing Sun convoy.

"Lin Dui." At the same time, Wu Zhenhai, Liao Ming, Liang Lei, Li Yi, and other familiar faces also greeted him with eager eyes; a group of people were eagerly gathered together at this time, while Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin stood on the side, communicating with them about something.

Lin Xian's gaze was surprised, and he walked over and said: "When did you arrive?"

"Just an hour ago."

Wu Zhenhai's face was full of dust, and his beard was covered with white frost: "As soon as we entered the city, we asked about your location and rushed over immediately."

"Haha, there are too many people in the city, we can only find old acquaintances to huddle with first." Liao Ming on the side wore a thick hat, exhaling cold air and said.

"Lin Dui, we just heard that something happened in the city as soon as we arrived; is it true that we are about to evacuate?" Li Yi stood in the wind and snow with her big belly, her cheeks frozen red, looking at Lin Xian and saying.

The big guy Liang Lei stood behind her, using his broad chest to shield her from the cold wind.

Luo Yang and the other young people gathered around Lin Xian with eager expressions; it could be seen that it was quite difficult for this group of people to rush over from the blizzard.

Lin Xian looked at the crowd with a hint of joy in his eyes and immediately said: "It shouldn't be, it's just not as safe as before; now it's a state of city-wide alert."

"By the way, little brother, let me introduce you."

Uncle Wu pointed to a middle-aged man with stubble in the crowd: "Captain of the North Wind Survivor Alliance, Shen Yao."

"Hello, Lin Dui."

Shen Yao's voice was firm, followed by many people behind him; hearing Wu Zhenhai's introduction, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Xian: "We rushed over from Xilin; I have known Uncle Wu for many years. You can trust him, and you can trust me. I have quite a few people in my team, and everything here will listen to your arrangements."

"North Wind Alliance, what is the relationship with the Arctic Wind Alliance?" Lin Xian asked with some surprise.

"Haha, no relationship." Shen Yao laughed openly: "It's just that the names are a bit similar, but our alliance is not as big as theirs; it's a joint convoy of a group of people who crossed the Dazhu Plateau."

"Their convoys all rushed over from the west line through the mountains, and like us, they encountered quite a few troubles; fortunately, it was dangerous but not life-threatening." Chen Sixuan said at this time: "I just told them about the situation in the city these two days, but now the ability testing should..."

"Still ongoing." Lin Xian nodded and said to them: "The Night Walkers have not suspended ability testing; you can still make it if you go now."

Although the city was attacked and everyone's nerves were tightened, the ability testing at Michel Plaza was still ongoing, including the various support points of the Phoenix Society; firstly, it was for the newly arrived survivors, and secondly, it was to ensure the normal support services for the various convoys in the city.

Wu Zhenhai, Liao Ming, and others' eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they immediately said: "I heard there are quite a few supplies to collect, as well as weapons and ammunition; let's hurry over before it gets dark."

Luo Yang, Li Yi, Liang Lei, and others also nodded in agreement.

Lin Xian instructed them: "Ability users and gene evolvers, as long as their abilities are good, send more people; collect as much as you can, and I will look after the convoy side for you."

"Good, good, thank you, Lin Dui."

"Many thanks, many thanks."

Shen Yao of the North Wind Alliance said gratefully to Lin Xian at this time: "Thank you, brother, I will take people there immediately."

"Thank you, Lin Dui." Luo Yang and the other young people also gathered around excitedly; they didn't have many people, but many were ability users and gene evolvers, and they could get quite a few supplies; the most critical thing was that these people, like Lin Xian, valued the learning of information about abilities more.

"Go, the information and ability guidance manual of the Phoenix Society are very useful." Lin Xian said.

"Alright, alright, everyone hurry up!"

Saying this, the leaders of several convoys immediately called on the people of their teams to start moving.

Ability testing can not only gain quite a bit of experience and guidance but also gain generous rewards from the Phoenix Society; this kind of opportunity will be gone if missed, so taking advantage of the fact that it is not dark yet, Lin Xian let the people of these convoys go to get ability testing first, while he still had to be busy manufacturing weapons.

The arrival of the Daying and other convoys made Lin Xian feel inexplicably more secure; everyone had fought side by side before and had trust in each other; this feeling was stronger than the reunion with Shu Qin and the others before. The vast blizzard was despairing, and the fact that these convoys could survive and rendezvous with him gave Lin Xian some hope in his heart in a sense.

Watching everyone leave fully equipped, Lin Xian also said to Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin: "Let's hurry too, Chen Laoshi, you rest for a while, Shu Qin, you and Dalou come with me to prepare ammunition."

"Hmm." Chen Sixuan nodded.

Lin Xian and the others returned to the train; after a short rest, the fatigue in the carriage had lessened a lot, but knowing that the crisis was coming, the members of the Infinite no longer had the light ease of yesterday; everyone had a solemn expression and began to carry out preparatory work under Lin Xian's arrangement.

The overall composite armor on the left and right sides of the Infinite had all been installed, and Lin Xian also let Dalou take people to check it carefully, including the Weilong-class traction train at the rear.

The armor manufactured with the design blueprint of the No. 0 machine was completely different from ordinary steel plates and grilles; the current Infinite is like a silver-black sci-fi war chariot.

Besides that, on both sides of each carriage, Lin Xian installed arc pulse string vibrators; although such dense installation and simultaneous use on the entire train put a huge load on the power system, for the sake of safety, Lin Xian did not omit it. This is also the reason why he upgraded the integrated power system; full train drive, heating, power supply, water supply, plus electric blade armor and arc pulse string vibrators, and orbital electromagnetic cannons, the electrical energy demand of the Infinite has reached a quite high load, and if it is not modified and upgraded, it simply cannot work.

Then there are the weapon stations on the roof of the train; Carriage No. 12 and Carriage No. 5 both raised an 1130 close-in defense gun, Carriage No. 2 is a G3-electromagnetic railgun, and at the same time, 5 YJ-03 anti-aircraft guns are also deployed on the entire train; after adjusting the firing field, these anti-aircraft guns can not only hit monsters in the sky but also be used for flat fire against the ground.

Carriage No. 11 has been completely transformed into a functional carriage; Lin Xian had already devoured the previous few scooters as materials because they were completely useless in this icy world, so Carriage No. 11 has now almost become an automated mechanical carriage; the roof can be completely opened, and the 6-axis robotic arm can hoist the Vulcan mecha out of the mecha hangar for battle in 20 seconds; in normal times, it can also perform some disassembly, weapon installation, ammunition replenishment, and charging maintenance work on the mecha.

Lin Xian plans to unify them here if there are more mechas later, turning it into a mecha loading carriage.

And the two PX-05 robots, one is fixed and placed in the rear Weilong-class train for maintenance and remote control work, and one is still in Carriage No. 12 and Carriage No. 11, occasionally needing to perform work outside the carriage.

This kind of engineering maintenance robot is very useful to Lin Xian; it not only possesses a Hall flight engine to perform various precise welding, maintenance, and other engineering work, but also has extremely strong environmental adaptability, and the key is that it is durable. Lin Xian had ignored it a bit before, only using it for maintenance and ammunition belt replenishment for the 1130; he plans to build more later, as long as he modifies the robot's tool accessories under his mechanical manufacturing capability, plus the new module added by Kiki, it can adapt to more work.

Those large weapon stations and work outside the vehicle can be completely handed over to the robots, which is much safer for the passengers on the train.

Finally, it is the information system of the Infinite; the upgraded Sentry system possesses 360-degree full-vehicle inspection, and the search radar on the roof of the train and the active phased array at the head of the train are combined together, which Lin Xian specifically prepared to deal with large-scale monster tides; it can perform rapid scanning to capture the target situation, the only drawback is that the computing system on the train cannot keep up and does not possess powerful AI computing power and intelligence, otherwise it could be completely handed over to AI for calculation and control, performing precise firepower coverage on the monster tide.

Figures are busy on the train; Shasha has already finished loading the weapons of the Shali. The current Vulcan mecha has a paint job that looks quite domineering yet somewhat cute and strange; the chest armor is 【Shali】, the left arm is 【Kill All Directions】, and the right arm is 【Leave No Armor】, making it hard to imagine the mental state of a 12-year-old girl when painting.

"Lin Xian, what do you think is the purpose of that big bug? Why would it suddenly attack the research building?"

In Carriage No. 12, Lin Xian is urgently manufacturing ammunition to transport to each carriage, Kiki is on the side changing the control module for the PX-05 robot, and she can't help but ask.

"The most likely one is the Hell Black Chrysanthemum." Lin Xian said: "But this is also very unreasonable; the Hell Black Chrysanthemum has been on our train for so long, it's impossible that it was only targeted after being taken to the research group."

Lin Xian also thought about the possibility related to the shielding power of the Isomorphic Rubik's Cube, but it is also a bit far-fetched; when the Hell Black Chrysanthemum was just brought out from Underground City No. 9, there was no Isomorphic Rubik's Cube on the train yet.

However, Ding Junyi also mentioned to him the incident of the Rain Town pseudo-human invasion; Lin Xian feels that the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, or the Disaster Plant, should have a special influence on strange entities.

It's just that Lin Xian thinks that the Abyss Worm's surprise attack on Central Avenue this time is far from just being about the Disaster Plant.

Kiki looked at Lin Xian, frowning and muttering: "Could it be that the monsters are really afraid of us discovering the Dark Mark? This sounds..."

"No matter what it is, that Supervisor Zhao is right."

Lin Xian's handfuls of 7.62mm bullets are continuously molded and fall into the ammunition box, making a crisp clinking sound.

"The aviation combat formation at the North City Airport, the headquarters of the Chengdong Investigation Corps, the armory, the tens of thousands of survivors gathered on Central Avenue, but a bug specifically targeted the laboratory."

"That means there must be a target here that is more important than the aviation combat formation, the armory, and the survivors."

Thinking of this, Lin Xian pressed the communicator, trying to contact Ding Junyi.

"Click, click~"

"Lin Xian, I'm here." Soon, Director Ding's voice came from the communicator, and at the same time, it was accompanied by the busy discussion sound in the laboratory.

Currently, the research team has been relocated to the Xilan Gymnasium as a whole; for safety reasons, this news is only known to the Phoenix Society and a few Phoenix Order convoys.

"The 21st impact experiment, replacing the observation target..."

"Maintain the light, detector self-check."

"Professor Ding, trouble coming here..." Lin Xian took a breath and asked: "How is the situation?"

"The group observation experiment currently has no results, the Disaster Plant has not had any reaction, we will conduct the last test immediately, the special action team of the Phoenix Society and the Night Walkers have already sent people, preparing to conduct field tests." Ding Junyi's voice sounded very calm.

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this, the group test failed?

What's going on, these snow demons clearly had the Hell Black Chrysanthemum show a red light reaction as soon as they appeared before, even if it was weak, it could be observed; when at the Urias Taishan, the dangerous scene where the tide-like snow demon tide upgraded the Dark Mark to level 4 is still fresh in his memory, but the current situation is really too strange...

17:40, 40 minutes until dark.

At the temporary camp of the research team at the Xilan Gymnasium, soldiers of the Investigation Corps surrounded the place three layers inside and three layers outside, high-sensitivity earthquake detectors were turned on in all directions, the sky radar was spinning crazily, and Jing Tian of the Spark Night Walkers and Xiao He of the Investigation Corps led people to guard the surroundings without stopping.

In the camp laboratory, the snow demons captured with special alloy cages were placed in a dark room without light sources, hissing continuously; the research team divided into a dozen batches to conduct control experiments, and Ding Junyi was equipped with an assistant, carrying the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and continuously shuttling between various observation laboratories.

"Still not working, still not working!!!"

Wei Kexue was about to collapse, his whole person was in a state of struggle and irritability amidst exhaustion, biting his teeth tightly.

Calming down, he hurriedly pressed the communicator to contact Guo Sicheng, who was lying in the infirmary.

"Teacher, I found the paper you sent me based on the CERN dark matter detection project, yes, yes, yes... I understand what you mean, but... don't, don't come over, your injuries can't be moved."

!

While talking to Guo Sicheng, who was lying in the infirmary, with the communicator, Wei Kexue synchronized a paper titled "Axion-Mediated Cross-Dimensional Biological Perception" to Yu Yuheng's team with a mobile terminal.

"If it is a weakly interacting massive particle, the form presented..."

"The problem now is that these strange entities are all in a silent state, as if they have all discussed it." Yu Yuheng changed into a clean down jacket, the dust on his head had not been cleaned up, and he stared at the data urgently at this time: "We here all suspect that this is a kind of resistance commonality shown by this group of creatures, the reason may come from the instructions of some high-level creature!"

The previous research of the Emperor Group was in this direction, and at this time, the abnormal reaction of the snow demons made Yu Yuheng have a dangerous thought.

Wei Kexue's face was pale, and he was slightly stunned upon hearing this; before he could react, Ding Junyi had already returned from the observation laboratory with a group of scientists.

"Prepare for field tests."

"Wait."

Wei Kexue pressed the communicator and immediately said: "Commander He is here."

Clang, clang, clang.

Whoosh.

Before the words fell, a series of footsteps sounded outside.

He Zhen pushed the door and entered with Xiao He with a serious expression, his gaze looking at the three of Ding Junyi: "Professors, the aviation patrol team just discovered the corpse of that Abyss Worm in a monitoring point area 34 kilometers to the northwest."

"Ah?"

"What do you mean."

The crowd's expressions changed immediately upon hearing this.

He Zhen acted like the wind, directly letting a subordinate come out with a mobile terminal; the subordinate quickly operated on the mobile terminal, and immediately, a large screen in the laboratory synchronized an investigation video provided by the aviation patrol team.

I saw that in the biting blizzard, a giant black worm like a mountain was dragging on the snowfield, motionless, and on that huge worm corpse, there were a dozen terrifying holes, as if they had been pierced by the sharp claws of some creature.

He Zhen looked at the screen and said with a serious expression: "After observation, it is already dead. Judging from the degree of snow coverage, it was just a few hours ago. I have already let the ground patrol team rush to conduct biological sampling, and it will be sent over soon. The people from the aviation patrol team will arrive immediately, detailed situation..."

"Wait!"

Who knew that at this time, Yu Yuheng suddenly shouted, he stumbled forward a few steps, his eyes staring fixedly at the picture on the big screen, his mouth opening and closing; after a long while, he pointed at the black worm in the picture and said in panic:

"That is not the Abyss Worm that attacked the research building today, that is the one killed by the No. 0 machine and Chen Wei at the Terakama Ice Valley!!"

"What did you say?!"

Hearing this news, He Zhen and Xiao He and the others frowned immediately.

"Are you sure?"

"I confirm!" Yu Yuheng nodded fiercely, pointing to a place in the picture and saying: "This one is smaller than the one that attacked today. Look, this position was cut by the high-frequency blade chain sword of the No. 0 machine, and when we evacuated from the Terakama Ice Valley, Lin Dui had buried explosives on this corpse to divert the attention of the demon tide, so there are traces of blasting on it! I am sure, this is not the one that attacked the research building!"

Wei Kexue also raised his glasses with a terrified face upon hearing this, he leaned forward and pointed to the corner of the screen and said: "Look here, although it is buried a lot by snow, there seems to be a very obvious gully, this monster... did not come from underground."

He turned his head to look at the crowd inexplicably and opened his mouth to say: "It seems... it was dragged over by something."

Once these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.

He Zhen stared at the repeatedly played investigation video and said in a deep voice: "You mean, something dragged such a large monster to the outskirts of Xilan City?"

"What is the purpose of this?" Xiao He said with a dark face: "To attract our attention?"

"I need to synchronize this situation to the command center immediately."

"Report!"

A soldier walked in at this time: "Chief, the Falcon Group, the captain of the aviation patrol team, has arrived."

"Let Wu Chen in."

"Yes."

"Xiao He."

"Here."

He Zhen immediately said to Xiao He: "Notify Meng Chenggang to dispatch the 5th Battalion to reinforce the North City defense line and increase vigilance! This thing appeared in the north of the city, we have to be cautious."

"Yes!" Xiao He took the order immediately.

In the laboratory, a dozen researchers also fell into discussion at this time.

"Why would they drag this thing here, it's at least 700 kilometers from here to the Terakama Ice Valley." Yu Yuheng's expression was strange.

Wei Kexue scratched his bird's nest hair, his face inexplicable: "How many of these bugs are there?"

"Currently, it seems there are only two, but..."

"The north of the city is our main direction for evacuating the city, could it be related to this." Another researcher also said.

"Blocking the road, no way."

Ding Junyi looked at the video screen and fell into silence.

"Chief."

At this time, a soldier wearing an aviation pilot uniform walked into the laboratory.

He Zhen said immediately upon seeing this: "Wu Chen, tell the research team the specific situation."

"Good."

Wu Chen was full of wind and snow, received the notification, and rushed over without stopping; he was just about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Wait!" Ding Junyi said.

"Hey, hey, hey!!!" Wei Kexue also exclaimed at this time, pointing to the Hell Black Chrysanthemum placed on the experimental table.

"This, the Disaster Plant has reacted!!"

Yu Yuheng opened his mouth wide; not only him, but everyone in the laboratory looked at the black, enchanting chrysanthemum at this time. I saw that in the pitch-black stamen, it was now emitting a surging red light, carrying a strange fluctuation that made people's hearts palpitate!

He Zhen and the soldiers of the Investigation Corps also couldn't help but walk over.

"This thing finally lit up."

"This... is it too bright?"

"What's going on?"

"Professor Ding, on your research data..."

"What's the situation?"

Ding Junyi looked at Wu Chen who had just walked in at this time, her face gradually becoming cold, and she said: "Not good, this is..."

"Level 5 mark!"

18:00

Woo~!

Woo~!

At the headquarters camp of the Chengdong Investigation Corps, the red alarm sounded; various military teams, ammunition supply vehicles, and mecha regiments acted comprehensively; Zhao Yu, He Zhen, Wen Zhuo, and others walked quickly in the camp, their expressions murderous!

"Immediately notify the whole city to make comprehensive preparations for battle."

"The aviation combat formation must take off before dark and prepare for battle over Xilan City!"

"He Zhen, the pressure in the north and east of the city is the greatest, let's sit in command separately."

"Good." He Zhen nodded immediately. "I'll go to the north of the city. The people of the aviation patrol team all have marks. Wu Chen and the others actively applied to drive aircraft to dock near the Sishui Slope in the north of the city; that is the best place to provide firepower cover."

Zhao Yu frowned slightly; he knew this was almost a suicide mission, so he said: "Dispatch two sets of missile rapid response groups to the north of the city, and also tell the artillery battalion not to save shells; protect Wu Chen and the others as much as possible."

"I know." He Zhen said sternly.

"Wen Zhuo, all Night Walker organizations, together with the courier group, are on standby at the support points in the city; if a disaster breaks out in the city after dark, prioritize solving internal troubles."

"Contact the Phoenix Order convoy, let them be responsible for regional clearing; must avoid the spread of fear causing internal mutation."

Zhao Yu said to Wen Zhuo while walking: "The density of ability users and evolvers in the city is very high now; once an internal mutation occurs, the lethality will be huge; you and the people of each representative convoy will coordinate defense."

"Understood." Wen Zhuo turned and flew into the air directly upon hearing this.

At the same time, Zhao Yu and He Zhen took people to board two small patrol planes separately and rushed to the Demon-Resistance Front.

At this moment, on the towering steel city wall, rows of Great Wall-50 base orbital artillery arrays were ready; the fire control radar of the Iron Curtain defense anti-aircraft system composed of anti-aircraft missiles/electromagnetic cannons/close-in defense guns had been fully turned on, and the radar tower on the hillside of Fenglan Mountain had also entered level 1 combat readiness.

Hum~

At the North City Airport, the whole field was filled with command lights flashing; tens of thousands of tons of Fearless-class aerospace carriers crushed the flying snow in the air, setting off a huge roar of air, and under the command of the tower, they slowly took off; War Eagle-class aerial gunships, Lightning 2 aerospace fighters, and H50 bomber formations were all urgently entering the takeoff formation sequence at this time.

Clang, clang, clang.

The 'Iron Guard 3' military assault units, Guardian 2 and Guardian 3 light assault units, T8-Z Vulcan military assault types, and even Destroyer heavy military assault types of each mecha regiment that had completed charging were continuously transported to the positions; more than 12,000 soldiers of the 7th Investigation Corps were fully equipped and ready.

And at this time in the city, the thousands of convoys that had been sounded the city-wide red alarm by the Phoenix Society were also already in a state of comprehensive battle readiness in advance; even Queen Mo, which was docked in the underground rail, had driven to the wide rail area outside at this time, all weapon systems were turned on, and Mo Mo Nika sat in Carriage No. 1 of the train with a solemn expression, looking at the radar map and communicating with Qian Dele about something.

The dozens of doomsday trains at the North City passenger station had already opened a defensive formation on the rail line, and the dense various machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and heavy machine gun turrets on the roof of the train were also loaded with bullets.

As soon as the news of the level 5 mark came, the heartstrings of everyone on the Infinite and Longshan No. 1 were tightened.

"20 minutes left."

Lin Xian devoured and removed the entire assembly workshop on the freight rail platform, and then said to the Daying convoy and others docked between Longshan No. 1 and the Infinite in the channel with a communicator: "You can't move in the city, you can only defend in place; our side is mainly dealing with the danger of the west of the city and Fenglan Mountain, it is very likely to be aerial monsters, so the focus is on anti-aircraft guns."

"Understood, Lin Dui!!"

The Daying convoy, Chasing Sun convoy, Running Far camp, and North Wind Alliance totaled more than 150 vehicles, most of which were heavy vehicles; at this time, several convoys had already surrounded all the heavy vehicles with the strongest defense in a train-like form, wrapping the small vehicles inside, like a rectangular formation; all anti-aircraft guns were also quickly installed and debugged under the help of Lin Xian's mechanical ability.

What they didn't expect was that the weapons and ammunition they had just collected would be put to use in less than an hour.

"Lin brother, is the level 5 mark really that cruel?" Shi Diyuan's voice came from the communicator, and the entire Longshan No. 1 was ready to fight.

"It might be even more powerful than the wave before we entered the city; you must have encountered it when you came from the airport."

Lin Xian said immediately.

Shi Diyuan's face changed immediately upon hearing this, "Damn it, haven't rested for two days yet." Hearing Lin Xian's words, he understood the severity of the situation at this time, so while cursing, he urged Ning Jing and Lu Yong to arrange food distribution quickly; this night was nearly 19 hours long, and with a large number of people on the entire train, more supplies must be distributed in advance to avoid loss of physical strength during the fierce battle at night.

"Dongzi, Wang Zhong, Zhuang Yue, you guys must guard the heating equipment and pipelines for me, otherwise the whole train will freeze to death!"

"Yu Lianxing, Zhu Anran, Min Ming, and Xiao Qing, clear the threats of the turret on the roof of the train, Abai, you just stare at the big guy to build, understand..."

On the joint convoy side, the high-pressure ionization wall configured by the Chasing Sun convoy had already been raised, the Amin Luoluo twin-star mechas were also ready, and each convoy was ready for battle.

And after Lin Xian dismantled the assembly workshop, he had been contacting other major convoys in the city through the Crimson Phoenix Order, and at the same time receiving information and dispatch from He Zhen and Zhao Yu.

He also synchronized the information about the encounter with the level 5 mark to the Phoenix Society.

In addition, he had been contacting Ding Junyi, but at this time, information in various battle lines and frequencies in the city was severely blocked, and it took a long time for Ding Junyi's voice to come from the communicator.

"Lin Xian."

"If an attack occurs, it may not just be people with marks, your laboratory is the same!" After connecting, Lin Xian reminded Ding Junyi immediately.

"I know, the people of the Investigation Corps are taking us to relocate, currently all laboratories are being carried out in moving carriages."

"Good."

"Lin Xian, when you evacuated from the Terakama Ice Valley, did you have contact with that dead black worm?"

Lin Xian said immediately upon hearing this: "I didn't, but Kiki did, what's wrong?"

"That means the Dark Mark did not come from that worm corpse; 30 minutes ago, the ground search team also came back, we tested it with the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, and found no mark."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Junyi's voice in the communicator was calm enough to make one's heart palpitate: "I think that level 5 mark, very likely comes from..."

"Above the high skies!"
