Chapter 537: Please continue to accelerate!

At the bow of the arsenal ship, Lu Xingchen, Jiang Yun, and several other wide-area attack ability users were gathered here. Their task was to open up the orbital path so that the train could run smoothly.

As long as the train could accelerate to a certain speed, it would actually reduce the pressure on the automotive troops and Iron Guard Brigade troops following behind. After all, the monster swarm could never be killed off. Once they stopped, this battle line, stretched over a hundred kilometers, would be breached before long. The battle line was too long; even if two more Iron Guard Brigades came, they would not be able to protect this Century Train.

The night wind whistled. Mo Nika walked to the side of Lu Xingchen and Jiang Yun, looked at the fog ahead, and sighed slightly: "The same plot again, the same betrayal again. The strategic intent of the human cluster is completely transparent in front of the Tower People."

"Actually, we can't change anything in these few minutes. The balance of combat power is unbalanced."

Jiang Yun crossed his arms and turned to look at the planetary eye suspended in the night sky, muttering: "In front of that thing, we are like ants. All the chances to catch our breath actually come from the enemy, not from us. If the monster tide doesn't stop, it's absolutely impossible for us to live this long."

"Hearing you say that, we really do seem quite pitiful."

Qian Dele smiled helplessly: "We have no initiative at all. Our lingering on is only because those monsters are playing a game."

"Otherwise, where else can we escape to?"

"Everyone need not be so depressed." Lu Xingchen was filled with heroic spirit at this moment. There was not a hint of negativity to be seen on him. He gathered fire in his hands and slowly rose into the air, staring at the scarlet earth below, and said: "Struggling with heaven and earth, gambling with fate—even ants do not abandon a glimmer of survival. Even if those higher-dimensional civilizations toy with us in the palm of their hands, it is not a reason for us to give up."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the others: "All living beings suffer; suffering is the norm of life."

"Brother Fire is right. We aren't dead yet; we will definitely be able to break out." In the communicator, Chen Sixuan said dashingly.

"Don't worry!"

At this moment, the voice of He Yifeng, commander of the 3rd Combat Regiment of the 22nd Brigade, came through the communication frequency band: "Our regiment will clear the path for you. All you need to do is not let the train stop!"

"Hey, Old He, it seems like our 7th Regiment is the main force, right? You are responsible for the left flank; how did it become you clearing the path?" The heroic voice of Wang Yong, commander of the 7th Combat Regiment, rang out.

"Exactly, it's as if our 5th Regiment doesn't exist. Besides, Commander Wu's Thunderbolt Fleet is still above our heads. Don't think about taking all the credit for yourself!" Li Zhongyun, commander of the 5th Regiment, said unyieldingly.

"Eh, I didn't mean that." He Yifeng smiled: "Let's put it this way: leave the left flank to us. Don't worry, my four 'Predator' babies here aren't just for show."

On the bridge of the Zhenhai ship, Wu Xiangqun looked solemnly at the radar screen and said:

"20 seconds to contact, five seconds to enter energy weapon range. Everyone, perk up!"

The members of the Infinite Alliance felt their spirits lifted significantly upon hearing the Iron Guard Brigade's voice. Although a great battle was imminent, with so many soldiers protecting them, everyone's adrenaline surged.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

At this moment, in the sky, the pedestal weapons on the decks of the Zhenhai ship, the Sky Dome Train, and all the fleets raised their muzzles in rows. The azure energy beams of the electromagnetic railguns began to charge, the missile array hatches opened, and the search radars operated at full power.

Chen Sixuan, Wu Xiangqun, Jiang Yun, and Jian Xuwei on the Silver Star below looked at the red tide surging on the radar screen.

They said in unison:

"It's here!"

Amidst the scarlet, the firmament had darkened. A black train was actually flying at high speed hundreds of meters above the ground, powered by dozens of thrusters and the powerful thrust of some kind of telekinesis. The powerful wind pressure rolled the scarlet fog ahead into a vortex, emitting a roaring sound in the air.

Kiki's eyes flashed with purple electricity as she hovered in the cockpit. Under her control, the thousands-of-tons Infinite was like an ordinary piece of iron, flying at high speed like a cannonball.

Behind the Infinite followed a dense crowd of aerial anomalies. The massive commotion startled every monster on the ground that could be startled.

But at this moment, the three people on the Infinite ignored all of that. After determining the direction and target, they activated their highest ability power to advance toward the main force.

Lin Xian's consciousness returned from the Black Star Forge. The 7 construction sequences had been running at full capacity for over 48 hours, but it still didn't seem to be enough.

"We are already inside North America now. At this speed, will we miss the main force?"

"No."

Seeing Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian: "That is a great migration of over three million people. Even with the scarlet fog, you can hear the firepower of the hundred-thousand-strong Iron Guard Brigade from over a hundred kilometers away. Besides, have you forgotten my ability?"

Lin Xian raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh, right. I almost forgot. And you also know their exact location."

Seeing Chu Yan looked ahead of the train, crossing her arms: "The Foundation has already made its move. That World-class entity won't let so much energy-food run away. Our time is only getting shorter."

"Wait, you said... energy-food?" Lin Xian felt strangely odd upon hearing this term.

"Don't you know?" Seeing Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian: "Those energy-devouring insects consume all organic energy; electricity, everything serves the high-level anomalies."

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this: "And then the high-level anomalies serve the S-class and World-class ones?"

"Exactly."

"So this isn't a biological species, but a devouring system..."

"Didn't you already see that in the Tower Civilization's preview sphere?" Seeing Chu Yan asked.

Lin Xian opened his mouth. At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind, as if he had captured something, but it quickly disappeared.

"In short, they just eat the big and small, then devour each other, and finally become 【Angels】?" Lin Xian frowned: "So, if the Tower Civilization develops to the end, there will only be one biological entity?"

"Yes and no."

Seeing Chu Yan sighed: "It looks like one biological entity, but it's actually a collection of billions of biological thoughts. This unified life even shares thoughts, so their social structure... well, their civilization development speed is very fast, and a large part of the reason is this. Remember the mycelium network in Yijin City? The consciousness of all life is a summary of computing power."

Lin Xian suddenly realized, his expression turning solemn: "Damn, that's the computing power of a civilization, or rather, the 【Angel】 is actually a carrier for a civilization... Then do they still need a planet?"

"How would I know? That part of my consciousness has already been devoured. I don't even know what that part of my consciousness said to you or did to you." Seeing Chu Yan said.

"It said quite a lot, and you protected me. Besides, that part of the consciousness had no prosthetic limbs; it should have been a projection of your complete body."

Seeing Chu Yan's expression dimmed slightly: "Whether I have a complete body is not important, but a complete personality is very important."

After saying this, she looked at Lin Xian: "The Foundation definitely won't let you escape back to the polar region, and now that the World-class entity is moving, they cannot control the thoughts of the Tower Civilization. So it is highly likely that we will all die here. Facing a World-class creature, the threat the South Heaven Gate can pose is not what it used to be. Do you have any plans?"

"What plans could I have?" Lin Xian looked ahead, his gaze burning: "Do what we can. In this situation, it's just trying to run. As long as the tracks aren't broken, I can make it run whether it's a hundred-kilometer or a thousand-kilometer train. As long as we sprint, there's a chance. Now, we can only pray that the train hasn't been broken apart; otherwise, facing the scarlet tide, we might not have time to connect the rear..."

"So, I hope they can hold on."

Rumble!!!

The scarlet firmament was torn into bloody rags by thousands of artillery fire. The moment the searchlights on the bow of the Silver Star pierced into the fog, the surface of the entire Colorado wilderness trembled like a giant drum. It was the sound of hundreds of millions of monster tides from all directions and over six thousand steel train carriages roaring in a charge.

The Thunderbolt Fleet and the Sky Dome Train hovered at low altitude. The railgun barrels at the bow of the ship burned to a deep red. The anode pulse cannon array of the Zhenhai ship had already burned out 1/5th. Every salvo was like thunder thrown by a god, blasting a vacuum hole a kilometer in diameter into the fog.

Under the roar of ten thousand guns, there were silhouettes of a tide like hell. In the fog under the searchlights of the Iron Guard Brigade's assault corps and the Silver Star, hair-raising monster tides poured out from almost every direction, like a mountain-collapsing and sea-draining tide, making the earth itself tremble! ===== CHAPTER 538 =====
