Chapter 528

~9 min read 1,630 words

Luo Xudong felt that he would definitely die today.

Although in these 50-odd days, he almost made such a judgment every day.

As a logistics captain responsible for ammunition supply for the "Lightning" fleet, Luo Xudong never concealed his negativity. Even when his companions expressed annoyance that he often hung words like "it's going to be finished," "can't escape this time," "swallowing a bullet yourself is better than being chewed and bitten by zombies" on his lips, he would always justify his big truth.

"Maintaining a certain negativity is better than having hope and then suddenly despairing. A huge gap is easy to cause self-mutation."

This set of truth was used more and more skillfully by him, and he always took out a pile of endings he had seen on someone else to prove it. But in fact, whether those "deeds" were true or not, only he knew.

So Luo Xudong did not admit that he was a soft egg. Although he lost his wife and children on the Apocalypse Day in middle age, he always comforted himself that he had some destiny to live until now.

However, today, on the 56th day that the Dawn Center joint train was trapped in the Colorado Canyon area, Luo Xudong's thought of "this time it's going to be finished" was more urgent than ever, even surpassing the fear of encountering a world-class disaster on the night of December 09.

Boom boom boom!! Tat tat tat!

Artillery fire roared outside the train. One of the carriages of the Lightning was full of gunpowder smoke and scorched smell. The teammates responsible for firing guns and cannons were carried away one after another. The corridor was crowded with people, and the blood stains on the ground could no longer distinguish whether they were their own or flowed in through the cracks after the anomalies in the sky outside were blasted to pieces.

"Why not retreat... why not beat back."

"Shouldn't be, today's firepower preparation is stronger than the previous few days..." Luo Xudong squatted on the ground, using power armor to load high-explosive shells into the magazine one by one, his face gloomy. Every roar of monsters outside and the miserable screams of teammates would make his heartstrings shake. After a few hours, he had fallen into a kind of numbness, leaving only mechanical movements.

"We have several interstellar Iron Guard brigades, and so many psychics, there are Infinite, Silver Star, 'Mobile City' Eternal Day, and Europe's Utopia, all of which are the strongest combat power. How could they not beat them..."

"Old Luo, shells, what the hell are you still muttering about?!"

The cockpit of the anti-aircraft gun on the roof descended rapidly. Deputy Captain Li Yong's power armor was scorched and smoking. The armor in front of him seemed to have been torn into an open state, and there were a few wisps of meat chunks of unknown anomalies hanging on it. The firepower outside was in an emergency, and Li Yong saw Luo Xudong burying his head and buckling the magazine alone, and immediately got angry.

"You are in a hurry!" Luo Xudong didn't know where a fire came from, turned his head and looked at Li Yong angrily: "We have 5 regiments of Iron Guard brigades on both sides, and a bunch of car fleets covering, don't you know what is called echelon firepower configuration?"

Obviously, the term echelon firepower configuration seemed to be able to reflect his military literacy as an old coder, and he said it with full confidence.

"What kind of configuration, monsters came like a flood from the sky, can I not be in a hurry?"

"You know a fart!"

Luo Xudong put down the shells in his hand, looked around, then quickly walked through the busy teammates to Li Yong's side, gave him a wink, and lowered his voice: "Didn't you see, today's situation is different from the previous few days. It's going to be dark soon. If the Iron Guard brigades are finished, these ammunition are our capital for life, grandson!"

Li Yong frowned when he heard this, looked at Luo Xudong, and suddenly sneered, looking at him with an expression of looking at a fool.

"Is your brain sick, if the Iron Guard brigades are finished, can we still live?"

He pointed outside: "Do you know what kind of equipment they have and what kind of equipment we have? Mecha troops! Electromagnetic cannons! Anode pulse cannons! Incendiary bombs! There are also track star-shaking cannons and plasma cannons in the sky! If they can't hold on, do you think the two boxes of 100 shells you are picking at in your hand can have much effect?!"

"Lower your voice!" Luo Xudong was annoyed when he heard this. His eyeballs turned, and he said in an indignant tone: "I am still thinking about our partners. Didn't you see how miserably Da Liu, Wang San, and Qian Xiaoyang died?!!"

Li Yong sneered, then got off the cockpit of the anti-aircraft gun, and signaled to Luo Xudong with his eyes: "Okay, since Captain Luo is so thoughtful about his brothers, then kill a few more scarlet anomalies to avenge them. I will leave this opportunity to you."

Li Yong knew best what kind of goods Luo Xudong was. If you want to count the most greedy and fearful of death in the fleet, this one definitely counts as a card face. But this guy always likes to be glib, but at critical moments, he likes to hide behind his teammates. He is the kind of soft egg that Li Yong looks down on the most.

"I..."

Luo Xudong was stunned, his face uncertain. Just as he was about to get angry, boom!

A violent shock wave oscillated from afar, wrapped in the shock wave and gas flame high temperature, shaking the whole train. A few seconds later, a strong light beam suddenly lit up outside the broken grid window, like the arrival of the scorching sun.

"What's wrong!!" Li Yong shouted immediately.

"Don't know, it seems to be the Red Rock Canyon direction, Silver Star train head!" An observation team member responded.

"Look, the monsters are retreating!!"

The violent artillery fire suddenly began to become sparse. The people in the carriage ran to the window to check in unison. Luo Xudong also looked unbelievable and followed to see.

"Really... the scarlet tide has retreated!!"

Rumble!

Outside the carriage, on the vast Black Stone Plain, the artillery array of the Iron Guard Brigade resounded continuously. Those black monster tides retreated like a tide, quickly retreating into the scarlet depths. The monster corpses piled up like mountains were left on the ground, directly crushed by the heavy armored troops of the Iron Guard Brigade.

Seeing this scene, Luo Xudong immediately widened his eyes, and the stone hanging in his heart fell. He suddenly took the lead and shouted loudly.

"The Iron Guard Brigade is invincible, we are united and will definitely be able to rush out of the scarlet. They must have killed the S-class in front, we survived, we won!!!"

"We won!!!" Other team members who didn't know why and whose adrenaline was still at the peak were all incited by him. Everyone was excited and incomparably excited.

Soon, the battle situation news from the front was passed over, and the inside of the fleet began to discuss the heroism of the Infinite and major battle teams.

"It is said that the Phoenix Society's support has arrived, South Tianmen opened fire, and one shot killed that big octopus S-class!!"

"Great, I said the Phoenix Society would never give up on us!"

"Haha, our human big killer has finally arrived!"

Looking at the enthusiastic discussion of the crowd, Luo Xudong breathed a sigh of relief, incomparably excited in his heart.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard, I will guard tonight." He suddenly stood out, his face firm.

The crowd was a bit surprised, and someone smoothed things over: "Forget it, Old Luo, Captain Li has this temper, it's just angry words."

"Those cannons are not easy to operate, let us do it."

Luo Xudong got a temper. In order to save some image in the team, he said righteously: "What words, I also crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, what guns and cannons haven't I played with? That's it, everyone rest well, recharge your batteries, we will definitely be able to go out alive!"

After speaking, he reorganized his power armor and climbed directly onto a machine gun tower. Luo Xudong knew very well that since the joint fleet began the big transfer, the monster tide had never stopped, but a very strange point was that these monster tides almost all attacked during the day, and would retreat after impacting the fleet for a few hours. The most critical point is... they had never appeared in large-scale attacks at night.

Even if there were, they were just some scarlet zombies, energy-swallowing insects, or hunters that appeared as ghosts. But for these troubles, what needs to be worried about more is the Iron Guard Brigade and the fleets outside. Relatively speaking, the train will be completely safe at night.

He knew that he didn't contribute much power to this battle, so he played a little smart, took this opportunity to try to save a little image and status. And other team members had just come down from the line of life and death, no one cared about these, and his active night watch immediately won the recognition of many people.

Luo Xudong had a plan in his heart, sat on the machine gun tower and rose to the roof of the car, looking at the silent battlefield outside, still a little nervous. The cold wind blew, making him shiver.
