Chapter 376: Train Loading Factory

The night wind was bleak, and riots broke out in Dawn City, revealing uneasiness and anger everywhere.

The City Defense Guard Battalion and the Night Patrol Group were almost dispatched in full force. The three main entrances of the city wall had serious congestion and riots at this time. Large convoys ran out, and some small teams seeking survival materials and shelter took the opportunity to drill into the city. The alarm lights of the Population Control Bureau resounded through the night sky.

Suburban street iron wall blocking belt, hundreds of millions of zombies surged like a tide.

In addition to the iron wall blocking belt, Dawn City also had three defensive lines, which were the No. 1 City Wall, the No. 2 City Wall, and the Starport Defense Base. The underground city is currently the safest shelter, located under the Twin Star Tower Starport.

At the top of the Twin Star Tower, the large viewing platform was empty, the lights were dim, and the high-quality viewing floor-to-ceiling windows seemed to block even the sound of the wind completely.

Ye Lan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The dense traffic lights in the inner city and outer city streets flickered. Although the interval was very far, the noisy sound of the riot seemed to be right in front of her.

"The last time I left this city, it was also such chaos. Humans seem to never remember the lessons, and always forget that destruction starts from the inside."

Ye Lan's voice was extremely calm, just like a bystander telling a story.

Chu Zhaonan stood by the window not far away, listening carefully, and responded:

"Because the vast majority of people don't know that destruction is destined, just like a book, placed there, although no matter how many times you read it and how many insights you have, the ending is the same."

Ye Lan said: "In three months, our understanding of the Star Abyss has made great progress, and we have found a breakthrough in shielding the invasion. Has your idea changed at all?"

Chu Zhaonan: "I already said it the day the Federation collapsed: there is no issue of morality or political stance between us, only different means of survival. You and I both know that humanity has already exhausted all its technology and armed forces in this natural disaster. Yet, fundamentally, we still do not know what we are facing. Higher-dimensional life? Multiverse overlap? Dark world catastrophe? These are all mere conjectures. Do you have any concept of what it means for a civilization to use all its power, only to have 99% of its population wiped out in an instant?"

He looked at the sky and said calmly: "With human power, we can't even kill 99% of a certain type of insect in the natural ecology. From this perspective, you should have more say than me, Professor Ye."

Ye Lan paused for a few seconds and looked at the magnificent night city below: "So you superficially promote the underground city plan, secretly develop eternal low-temperature sleep pods, form the Break Curtain Project, let Zhou Mingyuan engage in political lobbying means, and create a false hope, just for this moment?"

Chu Zhaonan's eyes were sharp: "The essence of the thought steel seal is to let humans maintain hope in a lost war." He looked at Ye Lan: "But hope is the real shackle!"

In the room, it was quiet. Two figures stood on the left and right, but the sound echoed in the room like a bell.

"I approve of your rationality, Chairman Chu."

Ye Lan continued: "I came this time to remind you that for this meeting, you already have a result in advance, because there is communication and understanding between us. We have known each other for 26 years. The deeper this understanding is, the less deviation there will be in the result. But the problem is, there is no such communication between humans and darkness."

"I know."

Chu Zhaonan's eyes flickered slightly: "So this lost war for humans, the Vanguard Project is the fastest reaction we can make. Professor Ye, oh no, Commander Ye, you and I both know that the Phoenix Society and Dawn City are essentially the same, both are gambling. The difference is just that I am more objective, you are more ideal. Since you know the result will not change, choosing to take the risk to come to Dawn City, do you have any suggestions for me?"

Ye Lan: "No."

Chu Zhaonan: "Star Abyss expansion?"

Ye Lan: "Uncontrollable. Humans can't even control themselves. Otherwise, the things between Dawn City and the Deep Red World would not exist."

Chu Zhaonan: "Existence is reasonable. There is only one law of cosmic survival: abandon old morality and live by any means. Advent faction or Savior faction, so-called faith is just a moral sense limiter created by individuals to seek survival. I have also thought, if all humans perish, can the Deep Red World really survive in a special form of existence? Who can say this is not a continuation of human civilization?"

Ye Lan: "I am very surprised that you can think about problems from such an angle."

"Surprised?" Chu Zhaonan said flatly: "76 years ago, wasn't this the original intention of the Phoenix Society? Regarding this point, you shouldn't be surprised."

"What about Chu Jing."

Ye Lan looked at him: "In your opinion, is he morality or means?"

Chu Zhaonan's eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly:

"He is a smart child. From the beginning of taking over the Break Curtain Project, he clearly knew that he and I were in the human position, not the father-son position."

Ye Lan nodded and said softly: "Good."

"So, what is the purpose of the Phoenix Society coming?" Chu Zhaonan stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Lan sideways.

She turned her head, hidden in the shadows. The neon light of the night city swept across Ye Lan's calm face, and she said to Chu Zhaonan:

"Clean up the mess."

After speaking, she turned and left. The straight and thin figure quickly disappeared into the shadows of the viewing hall.

Jinhai.

Based on safety factor considerations, Silent City slowly landed on an open space in the western suburbs of the city. The huge jet airflow rushed a shock zone out of the withered wood land within a radius of 20 kilometers.

In the main ship bridge of the cloud area, discussions rose one after another.

The Deep Red World did not launch any attacks tonight, which was within Lin Xian's expectation and felt unexpected. In short, it was very contradictory.

In his view, they could restrain the Deep Red World, which must come from the pressure of Dawn City fearing the rat. But from the current situation and Jian Xuwei's contact, Dawn City is divided into two factions. Zhou Mingyuan is within their expectation, not daring to easily take action against Silent City, and even advocates protection and peace talks, the purpose is to calm the riots in the city and reduce the threat of rumors to the Federation's rule.

But the large-scale evacuation of the Jinhai Starport is puzzling. Lin Xian can't figure it out, and others are even more confused.

"As far as I know, since the establishment of Dawn City as the Doomsday Capital, Chu Zhaonan has not invested much energy in government affairs and people's livelihood. All his energy has been invested in the Far Star Project, and except for the Far Star Fleet, engineering research, Lu Tianye's Star City Garrison, and underground city defense, all other powers are in the hands of Zhou Mingyuan. So I don't know if Chu Zhaonan has cooperated with the Deep Red World, but one thing is certain..."

"Chu Zhaonan knows." Lin Xian looked at Jian Xuwei in the picture and responded:

"So I speculate that it is the arrival of the Phoenix Society, plus your timely exposure of the collusion between Dawn City and the Deep Red World to the sun, which touched the crisis red line of the Federation, so they will have such large-scale actions. It shows that Dawn City will definitely have big moves next."

Everyone heard this, their expressions were slightly cold, Lin Xian frowned, and sighed: "Phoenix Society... It seems our luck is really good."

Kiki looked at him helplessly: "Do you think Dawn City is going to break the jar?"

"It's very possible!" Shi Diyuan said loudly: "Otherwise, why would Dawn City be so nervous, and its own industrial base would be abandoned?"

"It's not said that it's abandoned." Xiang Xiang Ningjing said at this time: "Currently, it seems that a large amount of resources and built starships and vehicles are being transferred. Except for the orbital train factory being armed and seized by Miss Jian, the starport still has guards stationed."

"This is almost the same as running." Qian Dele hugged his chest: "This operation made us dizzy. Originally, we were ready to fight a big battle, but now we don't know what to do."

Mo Mo Nika said: "Does this mean that in the eyes of Dawn City and the Deep Red World, we are not important?"

"It seems to be the case." Chen Sixuan also frowned.

Mochizuki Shinji stood in the distance and said loudly: "I think, if neither Dawn City nor the Deep Red World has their eyes on us, this is not a bad thing, isn't it?"

Everyone heard this and looked at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian nodded and approved: "That's right. Now Dawn City is in chaos, and the Phoenix Society has come. Dawn City must be highly nervous. As for the Deep Red World, oh, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they will take action sooner or later. The sky falling has nothing to do with us for the time being. Since we have arrived in Jinhai, just right..."

He looked at Jian Xuwei as he said: "Can we borrow your factory to prepare our train?"

On the main control building, Jian Xuwei looked at the giant maglev empty berth ring outside the window and said to Lin Xian:

"Actually, I have a better plan, but I need the assistance of Silent City."

"Let me guess, is it that Sky Dome-class?" Mochizuki Shinji said with great interest.

"And other things."

Jian Xuwei's face was solemn: "It will definitely open your eyes."

Rumble!

Silent City landed, the corpse tide rose in all directions, and eerie entities constantly emerged in the night. However, hundreds of electromagnetic railguns and thousands of self-attacking pulse-level weapons on the outer edge of Silent City's main deck fired in cycles like a star-destroying warship. The powerful firepower did not even need armed personnel to take action, and the corpse tide and sporadic low-level eerie entities were eliminated.

On the lower deck berth area, people were surging. The joint train team was busy again after two days of rest. This time there were many changes in personnel. Two train convoys, as well as the Windwalker and Aksai Brotherhood that followed from Aksai, merged into Silent City. For this reason, they sold their vehicles to other convoys in exchange for resources.

And for Lin Xian and Shi Diyuan, Silent City's next goal is to stay in Yongcheng Port for the construction upgrade of Far Star navigation, which made them have no choice but to choose to set off again, enter the orbital ring and start the escape journey.

For those personnel who chose to leave the team in the two train convoys and other convoys, Lin Xian could actually fully understand.

Many people were tired and desperate for fleeing. A safe mobile city was placed in front of them, making them not want to run anymore. And many residents of Silent City were firm digital life factions, which made them have subtle differences in cognition and feelings about crisis and death from others, which was reasonable.

Chi, woo~

The giant parking area deck slowly opened. Below was the freight backup track section of Jinhai. They could directly merge and then turn into the industrial zone train factory, and then they could directly open into the orbital ring through there.

Lin Xian led a group of people from the Infinite back to the Infinite. The engine started, the lights were dazzling, and the personnel of each carriage were ready. The children were safely returned to the carriage under the care of Li Yi and others. Standing in the cockpit, Chen Sixuan's eyes were complex: "After Jinhai and Yongcheng Port, it is the Pacific Ocean. This should be the last stop for our train preparation."

Lin Xian nodded: "Don't forget, if this is the lair of the Deep Red World, it won't be so easy to prepare smoothly, but..."

He said as he looked at Chen Sixuan: "If Silent City goes east all the way, have you really thought about joining Silent City?"

"Of course."

Lin Xian smiled: "I'm not stupid. There is enough firepower here and a large team. My mechanical ability can lie flat very well. Why not consider it." "Lying, you won't." Chen Sixuan smiled.

"Why?"

"Because you can't solve your sense of crisis by building another Silent City. You and Mochizuki Shinji think the same, flying out of the Blue Star, right?"

Lin Xian sighed helplessly: "I don't want to be overly worried, but this personality is born, and it can't be changed."

"Otherwise, why would you plan the orbital train plan to rush into the clouds during the first polar night." Chen Sixuan looked at him: "You know, only by running can you have a chance."

Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly and nodded.

Then he pushed the push rod, controlled the train to start, and at the same time pressed the communicator to communicate with Mochizuki Shinji in the cloud area main ship bridge:

"We will build the defensive line of the orbital train loading factory before notifying you."

"OK, no problem."

Mochizuki Shinji's leisurely voice came: "I have sent Xun and the others to Jinhai Starport to investigate. We will meet later. It shouldn't take long before news from Dawn City and the Phoenix Society will come."

"Hope it's good news."

The Infinite Weiling-class electric locomotive engine pulled the subsequent carriages, winding like a dragon from the giant track platform, and then rushed down the slope of the loading deck. Behind the joint train, Hu Lushou led people to follow in a doomsday train exchanged for materials, standing in the cockpit nervously praying to gods and Buddhas.

"God bless, God bless, bless me old Hu for following the right person this time!"

"You have nowhere to go." Sun Chang poked him coldly: "Mochizuki Shinji doesn't like you, and you are afraid that the car can't keep up with the joint train like in Aksai, so this is our only choice."

Hu Lushou curled his lips when he heard this, looked at Sun Chang angrily, and then said to himself:

"That's right..."

"Then bless us to follow Lin Dui all the way without incident, go to every city safely, smoothly, and earn a lot of materials~"

Sun Chang looked at him in surprise, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words to her mouth.

Well, she also hopes it goes smoothly.

Swish swish~

Infinite was at the head, followed by Queen Mo, Joker, Longshan No. 1, and 16 other trains. The horizon gate was tightly attached to the track and rushed down from Silent City. Under the illumination of the car lights, a hideous and rotten corpse tide rushed towards them.

The joint train rushed in with a violent impact momentum, instantly setting off a spray of residual limbs and blood rain. Countless zombies were crushed by the iron wheels, and sparks splashed on the freight track loading line.

In front of the Infinite train, dozens of flight drones accompanied the march, quickly clearing the zombies in front while changing the road forks for the train in advance, allowing the joint train to enter the correct track.

Weapon station, three 1130s and three G3-electromagnetic railguns were all raised and fired violently. This huge steel dragon rushed into Jinhai, galloping in the dense corpse tide, and the full-metal bullet storm plus electromagnetic cannons broke the silence of the night.

Squeak, squeak~

Not only the galloping train tracks, but many doomsday train carriages also made disturbing sounds at this time. It should be the hidden dangers left during the Star Abyss flight. Among them, the problems of Longshan No. 1 were also quite serious. So this time, after repeated consideration by Shi Diyuan and the time problem, only a small part of the important carriages were transformed.

"Hold on, all carriages pay attention to the changes in dark marks, lock and solve at any time!"

"Understand!"

"Jian Xuwei said that there are other survivor convoys stationed in the industrial zone in the city, and there are many armed guards at the starport. We must be careful."

Shi Diyuan's voice came: "These armed guards are not necessarily more powerful than eerie entities, but they are quite a threat to us."

Lin Xian agreed and responded: "Okay, she has already sent us the defensive layout map of the loading factory. Later, according to the division of labor we discussed in advance, we will quickly occupy the defensive points and sentries, and Jian Xuwei's drones will cover us."

Watching the countless corpse tides being crushed and lifted by the ice-breaking shield of the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive, Lin Xian controlled the speed of the train and alerted the surroundings with Chen Sixuan.

If it were before, Lin Xian would let Grace assist in train control. She could coordinate the driving radar and drones at the same time, but now this smart brain had been turned off by him. In such a corpse tide, he could only control it manually.

Uh ah! Uh ah!

In other carriages, team members held weapons and looked at the terrifying zombie faces swept by the lights outside the carriage armor, their expressions serious and calm.

They came out of the No. 5 Star Abyss, not only evolved their strength but also further improved their stress resistance. The zombie tide did not pose much threat to the joint train except for causing derailment, and they were all worried about the chain reaction of dark marks caused by the appearance of eerie entities.

However, the joint train rushed out of the large corpse tide, but did not encounter any eerie entity attacks, and even when it arrived outside the armored high wall of the orbital train loading factory, the spirit-swinging value detector did not light up.

Everything tonight was smoother than expected, which surprised many people.

A few minutes later, the joint train drove into the industrial zone defense line in the center of the city through the freight track. The armored high wall flashed with sharp yellow lights, and the giant metal gate slowly opened, allowing the joint train to drive in.

Because the space in the loading factory was limited, all trains were uncoupled by Lin Xian in advance. After rushing into the loading factory, they were opened into different track lines by the automatic switch device.

After driving in, Lin Xian found that the platform was covered with the corpses of many armed personnel wearing power armor. Infinite had just stopped, and Lin Xian immediately arranged for the two assault groups of the building and Liang Lei and the mobile group of Shu Qin to go out, quickly familiarize themselves with the environment of the factory garrison area and build a defense line. As more trains stopped, more team members wearing power armor were sent out to reinforce the defense line.

At this time, a group of people in the factory walked out slowly with firearms. Lin Xian looked at them and found that most of these people seemed to be engineers and technical personnel. A woman wearing power armor walked in the front, her head mask opened, her long hair fell, Jian Xuwei walked quickly towards Lin Xian, her eyes swept over the dense weapons on the Infinite, as well as the heavy armor, and took the lead in speaking to him.

"Long time no see, you shouldn't be easier than us on this road."

Lin Xian saw this scene, his expression changed:

"Where are your people?"

"Most of them are in Dawn City." Jian Xuwei said.

At this time, Shi Diyuan, Xiang Xiang Ningjing, Qian Dele, and Mo Mo Nika all walked over.

"Chairman Jian, long time no see." Shi Diyuan said heroically at this time.

Yubei Airport, Longshan No. 1 and Silver Star worked together, everyone had a foundation of life-and-death cooperation, and there was still trust between each other.

"Captain Shi, hello." Jian Xuwei looked at Mo Mo Nika at this time, her eyebrows frowned slightly:

"Mo Mo Nika?"

"Do you know each other?" Lin Xian asked suspiciously.

"The eldest princess of the Kadiya family, how could I not know?" Jian Xuwei said.

Mo Mo Nika smiled, her eyes swept across Jian Xuwei: "Miss Jian is polite, I can't compare with you, you are the head of a chaebol, I am just a captain of a stranded convoy."

"It's the end of the world, are there still chaebols?" Jian Xuwei said flatly, then scanned Lin Xian: "You and Lin Dui are together, should I assume we are allies?"

"It's an honor." Mo Mo Nika responded.

Lin Xian heard this and felt that there must be some story between these two women, which sounded a bit tit-for-tat.

However, he had no time to care about those past events, after all, Jian Xuwei also said that it was the end of the world, and those were not important.

"What is the situation in Dawn City?" Lin Xian asked.

Jian Xuwei turned around and said: "Time is urgent, whether it is Dawn City or the Deep Red World, they may take action at any time. I won't talk nonsense, you follow me."

Lin Xian arranged, and let Chen Sixuan and Kiki follow by his side, and a group of people followed Jian Xuwei quickly towards the inside of the factory.

Passing through the parking loading area, heavy rain poured down. Not long after walking, a giant mechanized steel factory appeared under the night sky.

Then Jian Xuwei took Lin Xian and his party into an elevator cabin similar to a carriage, and quickly drove underground at an inclined angle.

After descending hundreds of meters, the high-speed running cabin slowly stopped. Lin Xian was full of doubts. He originally thought he would see the Sky Dome-class train first, but he didn't expect Jian Xuwei to take them underground.

Just when Lin Xian was about to ask, the cabin door suddenly opened, and a large underground project appeared.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were shocked.

Because when they looked up, a giant mech stood towering in everyone's sight!

Compared with the No. 1 machine in Xilan City before, this mech was not large, looking only more than 50 meters, but strangely, this was not a mech in the true sense, because Lin Xian saw biological skin tissues in many parts of this "mech". This giant humanoid biological skin was grayish-brown, withered and stiff, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting stench mixed with strong disinfectant. This was actually a humanoid giant eerie entity!

And those mech devices were more like armor worn on the eerie entity.

"Isn't this the humanoid eerie entity we encountered in the Star Abyss?!"

"Dead or alive?"

"Strictly speaking, it is already dead." Jian Xuwei said solemnly.

Everyone changed color when they heard this, Lin Xian's face sank, and he said sternly:

"Don't tell me, this is the flesh and blood colonization created by the Deep Red World!!"
