Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.

Chapter 394 Night Falls (1.2 views, please vote)

After Ye Lan announced that Dawn City was about to launch a counterattack against the darkness, the atmosphere in Dawn City before the great battle fell into extreme busyness and panic.

All survivors, refugees, and convoys were gathered in the old city area within City Wall 1. The entrances to the 24 underground air-raid shelters were lined with people preparing to enter for refuge, under the management of Phoenix Society officials and the army. The vast majority of them were the elderly, children, pregnant women, and some of the wounded and weak. Before the desperate battle, anyone with some ability to protect themselves, regardless of gender, spontaneously gave up seeking refuge and chose to join the ranks of the city's defense.

In the crowd, a man squatted down and stuffed a package of food supplies wrapped in old newspapers into his son's hands.

"Listen to your mother." He ruffled the child's hair, his voice hoarse.

His wife gripped his sleeve tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh: "You stay away...we'll wait for you to come back!"

"Don't worry." The man smiled and looked at the large number of people behind him who had joined the defensive battle: "There's nowhere to hide anymore. We must hold the city."

On the other side, a middle-aged woman carrying a gun squatted on the ground and tied her little daughter's shoelaces tightly, then placed her little daughter's hand in the hand of another boy who was only seven or eight years old.

"Xiao Jie, you're the older brother, you have to take good care of your younger sister, okay?"

The boy, with his youthful face, gripped his sister's hand tightly and nodded blankly.

"Mom, what about you?" The little girl looked up, her face full of unease.

"Sweethearts, Mommy is helping out outside, I'll be back to find you soon."

The woman immediately wiped away her tears, turned and walked away. Beside her, members of the Phoenix Society's emergency response team were pulling at a middle-aged man with a limp.

"let me go!"

The man, hot-tempered, struggled free using his spear as a crutch, roaring, "I can still shoot! I don't need to go into the shelter. Even if I die at the city gate, I can still trip up a monster!!"

……

Caravans of all sizes collected ammunition and weapons from the Phoenix Society and the garrison's defensive supply points. Under the arrangement of the Phoenix Society's defensive command center, the city's area was formed into a defensive line of nearly 30,000 troops. Its main purposes were threefold: first, to assist in the city's air defense; second, to control the occurrence of anomalies within the city; and third, if the No. 1 city wall fell, these troops could rely on the street defense line to fight urban warfare, blocking the monster tide from impacting the No. 2 direction while dividing the battlefield and covering the evacuation of other survivor caravans.

Besides the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled who entered the underground shelters, there were nearly 140 million survivors in the city. They were composed of various car convoys or individual groups and spontaneously joined the defensive lines of hundreds of streets. At the same time, a large number of civilians assisted the garrison and the Iron Guard Brigade in digging gun tunnels outside the city, transporting ammunition and supplies, laying landmines, and repairing equipment.

In the sky, a dense array of transport drones, like a canopy, carried weapons and ammunition towards the city walls via air routes after the underground fortification network was blocked.

On the Phoenix Society's side, a defensive war system with double walls and combined heaven and earth defense was formulated. Ye Lan and commanders at all levels were stationed in the control hall of the Twin Star TC City Ring, which was set up as a temporary command post, and important troops were deployed to protect the city ring.

woohoo~
At this moment, the survivors who were building fortifications and pulling barbed wire in the city camp could see countless large rotor transport ships constantly roaring through the air, carrying powerful war mechs to the front line of the city wall, in addition to the Iron Guard-3, Guardian X and Vulcan series.

Boom! The clouds tore apart, and the turbo engines of a large number of C-99 'Hercules' transport planes roared deafeningly. Steel cables dangled, and eight interstellar predators, as tall as skyscrapers, slowly passed over the high-rise buildings in the city. These powerful weapons were mainly placed in the core encirclement area in the south and west of the city to deal with the frontal attack of the S-class!

Within the inner city, all open spaces, high-rise buildings, and control towers were converted into air defense positions and high-energy firepower projection zones. Several energy centers were buried deep underground in the starport, supplying energy and power to the entire city's automated weapons. More than 100,000 attack drones were currently charging and replenishing their weapons. A large number of drone engineers were urgently carrying out fault maintenance. In order to ensure smooth command and communication signals under the extreme darkness, thousands of signal relay towers were deployed in the city.

"The team of superhumans, composed of members of the North American Defense Front, the Nightcrawler Alliance, the Seraphim Division, and some civilian organizations, has been divided into three categories and multiple special combat teams."

Inside the command center, General Xu stood in front of the holographic map, his expression stern.

"Category 1: Composed of individuals with high mobility and self-defense capabilities, including those with abilities such as flight, speed, wind, fire, lightning, and light. Commanded by Minister Luo, they are responsible for the main force's containment, support, and intelligence gathering in the frontline response to S-level disasters, while also conducting high-altitude, high-speed coordinated defense and assaults throughout the city!"

"The second category mainly consists of ability users with laser, magnetic storm, strange eye, earth and stone, resonance, sound wave, or long-range destruction abilities. They are commanded by Team Leader Qi. This type of ability user has powerful long-range killing capabilities and is responsible for killing monster hordes and large bizarre entities behind the defensive lines of the city walls and anti-aircraft positions!"

"The third category: This includes all giants, blood-qi, demonic forms, beast forms, metallic skin, evil bones, invisibility, energy gathering, and all genetically evolved individuals with strong physical abilities and mobility. This group of melee ability users mainly assists the city's various district defense lines and underground shelters in defense and protection work."

“I agree with General Xu’s tactical arrangements. Our 83rd Iron Guard Brigade will be responsible for the four defensive sectors in the west of the city, with the mech regiment and special armed power battalion deployed in tiers. The primary objective is to concentrate the S-class defenses and the city wall defenses…”

Before Huo Jiang, the commander of the Iron Guard Brigade, could finish speaking, Lu Tianye immediately interrupted him.

“全城12个扇区，5，7，8星渊方向主要进攻方向就是从城南的5号到城西10号6个防御扇区，你们铁卫旅4万多人要挡4个扇区，让我守备军13万守两个扇区？还是说守城东城北？”

"I didn't mean that. The western part of the city mainly has one Star Abyss No. 5, while your side has two major Star Abyss offensives, No. 7 and No. 8. Isn't this allocation reasonable?"

"That's unreasonable!" Lu Tianye retorted solemnly, "There are corpse drivers around in Star Abyss No. 5. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Our garrison has dealt with Star Abyss No. 5 the most. We have to leave the tough nut to me!"

"What's there to be afraid of if they're tough? My mech squadron isn't to be trifled with!" Huo Jiang immediately replied.

"My second mech pilot and Thor's Hammer electromagnetic cannon array have also been effective!" Lu Tianye retorted, not to be outdone.

Unexpectedly, at the pre-battle command meeting, the commanders of the two iron armies got into a fight over who would lead the main force. Watching the two generals argue, all the high-ranking members of the Phoenix Society looked at each other in bewilderment.

"All right."

At this moment, Ye Lan spoke up to interrupt the argument. Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone seemed to be able to hear her clearly.

She stood up, picked up the pen, pointed to the circular city wall section of Dawn City, and began to speak.

"Our judgment is based on the situation, but we cannot be completely rigid in our thinking. It will only take a blink of an eye for darkness to envelop the entire city. We cannot assume that these strange entities will definitely attack from these directions based on last night's offensive."

Ye Lan looked at everyone and said, "All of you generals are commanders with rich experience in information warfare. Although we are dealing with a strange entity, we cannot treat it as a mindless monster. Human information warfare tactics are precisely our advantage, and we can make good use of this."

Lu Tianye nodded upon hearing this, glanced at Huo Jiang, and said, "That's right. The area in the west and south of the city, near the three Star Abysses, is indeed an important defensive zone. Our mech units have strong firepower and defense, but lack mobility. The garrison and Iron Guard Brigade can deploy their mech units here first, but our infantry and special armed power battalion should be deployed across all 12 sectors of the city. After engaging in battle, we will use radar and the computing power of the Galaxy Heart to identify high-risk battlefields before making any further deployments."

Huo Jiang also agreed with this arrangement: "The number of troops that can be deployed on the city wall is limited. We should use all transport aircraft and armored vehicles as mobile deployment tools between defensive sectors so that we can react quickly."

"Yes, the main roads and streets in the city must be kept clear to ensure the delivery of troops and ammunition!"

"And most importantly, we must ensure the safety of the Twin Towers and the City Ring!"

"I think the optimal placement location for the Emperor God Group could be in this direction..."

In an instant, a war situation meeting concerning the survival of millions of people and even all of humanity was being held in full swing.

Meanwhile, at the Star City Orbital Station, the core members led by the Infinite Alliance and Silent City were also holding an emergency meeting.

In order to carry out outer space operations, Shinji Mochizuki voluntarily and generously provided Lin Xian with a set of interstellar-class powered armor. This is currently the highest level of individual combat equipment in the interstellar military. It has a small plasma propulsion system, two main back thrusters (each with a thrust of 50 tons) and four foot vector nozzles, a level 7 ballistic protection level, and a survival support system that includes liquid oxygen reserves and toxic gas filtration systems to support space/underwater operations. It also has a medical module with nano-hemostatic spray and automatic adrenaline injection.

This suit of armor is quite expensive, but it doesn't seem to matter much to Shinji Mochizuki.

"Thank you." Lin Xian was quickly testing the various operating modules of the power armor. He didn't have much time and had to act immediately, so he couldn't deploy the command and control operations on the Infinite side. He could only leave it to Jian Xuwei, Chen Sixuan, Jiang Yun, Shi Diyuan, and others.

"No problem, I have my own agenda too." Shinji Mochizuki smiled calmly.

“I know, you want me to collect various spatial data outside the Heavenly Curtain for you, right? You don’t need to tell me, the Phoenix Society has already made preparations for that,” Lin Xian said.

"Lin Xian." KIKI looked at him, her expression complicated, and said, "You... be careful."

Lin Xian nodded and said, "You guys too, anyway, success or failure hinges on this. We've all survived so many life-or-death situations, so saying anything more would be pretentious."

After saying that, he gave KIKI and Chen Sixuan a deep look and said, "Live on!"

"Brother Lin, take care!"

"Team Leader Lin!"

"Lin Xian."

"Captain Lin!"

"Brother Lin..."

"Team Leader Lin, we're waiting for you to come back!"

Countless people gathered around with concerned expressions: Shi Diyuan, Ning Jing, Xiao Qing, A Bai, Qian Dele, Monica, Jian Xuwei, Jian Zeyang, Jiang Yun, Shu Qin, Da Lou, Sasha, Lü Chang, Miao Lu, Xiao Yuan, Li Yi, Lao Mo, Sun Yuzhen, Mo Xiaotian, Ding Junyi, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Luo Luo Amin, Li Guangwen…

"Take care, everyone. When dawn breaks, I will lead you all into the Pacific Ocean!"

Countless eyes converged on him. Lin Xian checked the time, then took a deep breath, focusing his mind on the flashing bullet between his brows.

Instantly!

Swish!
With a spatial explosion, a whirlwind arose, and Lin Xian vanished before everyone's eyes.

Chen Sixuan stared at the figure, her gaze sharpening for a few seconds before her expression hardening quickly: "Let's get started!"

Shinji Mochizuki is surrounded by core members such as Shun Sensaku, Ran Amano, Ryunosuke Takahashi, and Shiori.

Senju Shun's AC mechs control a ground force of over a thousand heavy mechs and an air force of three hundred tactical flying mechs. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of drones in Silent City are also operating under the core control of Mochizuki Shinji.

Shinji Mochizuki brought Lin Xian a power armor suit, along with a large amount of armored weapons, ammunition, drones, and even a Star Raider mech, which was standing in the plaza of the Star City orbital station.

In response, Shinji Mochizuki stated

"This was built by Lin after he obtained the blueprints for the interstellar military mech system."

"Lin Xian asked you to build this?" Chen Sixuan frowned and asked, "And who was he supposed to drive it?"

Shinji Mochizuki then pointed to the shortest girl in the crowd.

Sasha's eyes widened as she pointed at her nose and exclaimed, "Brother Lin wants me to drive the Star Predator!?"

"Aren't you a mech pilot with a level 4 common-state coefficient?" Qian Suxun asked with a smile.

"Of course I am!!"

Sasha stood up excitedly and rushed to the window. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the massive mech that stood 60 meters tall and weighed 4665 tons in the center of the square outside.

"Wow! Brother Lin gave me a Gundam!!"

"Goodness, this thing looks like it has a lot of firepower," Shi Diyuan said with a surprised expression.

"That's so cool!" Luo Yang and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't get too excited yet. I have an important mission for you to pilot this thing." KIKI hooked Sasha's eyes, which were almost glued to the mecha's nuclear-powered engine, with her telekinesis.

“The plan is this: all the elderly, weak, sick and educated people who board the train will cooperate with the Phoenix Society to relocate the underground facilities, and then…” Jian Xuwei opened the holographic map, lit up an aerial light rail route that encircles the city, and then said, “The joint train will be led by the Infinite, and will conduct mobile guerrilla warfare along this ring track, making full use of our train’s firepower.”

"The superhumans KIKI, Lu Xingchen, Dalou, Sun Yuzhen, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Li Guangwen, Qian Dele, and Abai will all join the Phoenix Society's superhuman team to assist."

"However, that's not all. Captain Shi, Chen Sixuan will stay behind to guard the joint train for defense. The joint train's firepower will be commanded by Captain Chen and Captain Shi. Shu Qin, Lü Chang, Miao Lu, Ning Jing, Xiao Qing, Luo Luo, and Amin will all be assigned to different tactical squads and deployed on different sections of the joint train. On the Alliance side, Jiang Yun and Ren Huiyan will be responsible for the defense of the city blocks together with Hongyuan Business Alliance, New Era Engineering Corps, Iron Shield Car Team, and Burning Phoenix. We have too many people, and these are all large car regiments, so we need to rely on large defensive fortifications, so we will be split up."

"Then there's the Star City Rail Station. The Sky Train doesn't yet have defensive firepower, so it can't take off. Therefore, Monica and I will lead 4000 people to defend the rail station, protect the Sky Train, and set up anti-aircraft positions at the same time!"

"Finally, there's this Star Raider." Jian Xuwei looked at Sasha: "Sasha, we've prepared a transport trailer. You'll need to drive this Star Raider and move around with the train. Most importantly, if there's a problem with the track, you'll need to work with the transport drones deployed by Lin Xian to protect the joint train. KIKI and Jiang Yun might be able to help with that, but in a crisis, when we lack heavy firepower and mobility, we'll need you to step in."

Sasha's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she immediately nodded: "I understand."

"So this train will keep running around the city?" Monica asked.
"That's right, mobile guerrilla warfare!"

"That's a great idea." On the other side, Shinji Mochizuki and the others also agreed with the plan, saying, "This can bring out the advantages of your train, but the only drawback is that it will be troublesome if the track is interrupted."

"If the tracks are cut off, we'll stay put and use the train as a fortress to resist," Chen Sixuan said at this moment.

Shi Diyuan nodded with his arms crossed: "Yes, such a long train and weapons can only exert their firepower when they are mobile, which is better than keeping them parked in the track station."

"Then let's act immediately." KIKI's eyes were sharp. After a great battle, she had rested fully and was now at her peak. After the battle at Mount Targon, it seemed that the peak of her supernatural power had also been greatly improved.

Jiang Yun nodded: "Take care, everyone. Tonight is dangerous, but I hope that after dawn, everyone will be standing here safely!"

Wow!
In an instant, everyone sprang into action.

Li Yi and Lao Mo led all the female relatives, children, and internal staff to the underground shelter. Chen Sixuan originally wanted Director Ding to go to the shelter with her, but Ding Junyi refused, saying that she needed to guard the research and planting carriages of the Infinite to study and protect disaster plants such as Hell Black Chrysanthemum, Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes, and Blood Vine. At the same time, she also asked Xiao Yuanmiao to pick all the mature green plants and fruits and distribute them to the pre-war personnel of the Infinite Alliance in front of the station.

hum!
The Infinite Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive started up at this moment. Under Chen Sixuan's control, it and Shi Diyuan, together with more than 3,000 combat personnel from the joint train, drove onto the city's light rail loop line. On the roof of the train, the G-3 electromagnetic railgun, 1130, YJ anti-aircraft gun and automatic cannon all rose up, and all the train's weapons bared their fangs.

Immediately, the fully armed train began to slowly move along the ring track. Sasha sat in the cockpit of the interstellar hunter mech. The neural operating system was connected, and the massive mech, weighing thousands of tons, roared to life. She was filled with excitement and quickly became familiar with the operation. Standing on the rear transport platform of the joint train, she adjusted the firepower all the way.

Standing on the roof of the car, holding the Meteorite No. 3, Chen Sixuan constantly observed the surrounding buildings. At this moment, she looked up at the sky, her beautiful face filled with worry.

"Lin Xian, you must come back safely!"

Shu Qin and Ning Jing, along with their team, were deploying firepower in each carriage. The entire train maintained uninterrupted communication. The train was filled with highly mobile team members wearing power armor. They would rely on the train's armor and rapid mobility to deliver firepower along the line.

Shinji Mochizuki led his team back to Silent City. In this defense of Dawn City, Silent City, together with warships including the Sky Tower, the North American United Front Fleet, and the Iron Guard Brigade Fleet, formed an air defense force. Their main target was the atmospheric creature that came from the sky!
Amidst the tense and busy atmosphere, the heavily pregnant Li Yi carefully checked the armor on her husband Liang Lei's body. She didn't offer any further instructions, only telling him not to worry about her.

Mo Xiaotian and Mo Xiaole bid farewell to their mother, Sun Yuzhen, and followed their grandfather, Lao Mo, into the underground shelter.

On the other side, Hu Lushou was also preparing to enter the underground shelter.

This guy wasn't very combat-ready; he was wearing two layers of bulletproof vests, which made his power armor look rather bulky.

"Honey~ how about I not go in?" At the entrance of the underground shelter, Hu Lushou grinned and said to Sun Chang, "I, Old Hu, am a former deputy captain of a transport ship and a combat model soldier. Would it be inappropriate for me to hide in an air-raid shelter with women and children?"

"Are you sure?" Sun Chang glanced at him indifferently, then slapped his power armor. The immense force made Hu Lushou stagger back two steps. "Tonight is going to be a fierce battle. Four S-class enemies. Any one of them could crush you."

Hu Lushou swallowed nervously upon hearing this, but when he caught a glimpse of Sun Chang's gaze, he suddenly felt a surge of confidence and straightened his chest.

"No, no, I'm not going. I mean it. A man's word is his bond. Besides, when humanity is in peril, how can a real man hide behind a child?"

After saying that, he picked up a pulse cannon and walked straight towards the Infinite Alliance's convoy defense team.

Sun Chang frowned upon seeing this, as if she wanted to say something, but then stopped herself and could only follow.

On a transport ship, KIKI, Lu Xingchen, Dalou, Sun Yuzhen, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Li Guangwen, Qian Dele, Abai and other powerful superhumans began to head towards the superhuman combat team. Along the way, Lu Xingchen kept his eyes closed and looked old and frail.

Lou, carrying his steel-slaying greatsword and wiping his Gatling gun, looked at Lu Xingchen with a puzzled expression. He then nudged Lu Xingchen with his elbow, but Lu Xingchen didn't react. He then looked at Qian Dele and KIKI across from him.

KIKI chuckled and said, "This guy is probably thinking about what form he should take and what move he should use to make his entrance."

Qian Dele shrugged: "Does it matter?"

“It’s very important to him.”

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingchen closed his eyes, shook his head, and, abandoning his usual childish demeanor, said, "In the battle of Xilan City, over 4 people died or were wounded. Although we possess the power of the God of Fire, it was futile. This battle is a matter of life and death for humanity; it cannot be taken lightly. The names and techniques are no longer important. I only wish that more people can survive tonight. If the darkness persists, I will personally burn through this eternal night with the fire of the Burning Stars!!!"

Upon hearing this, KIKI, Qian Dele, and the others all became serious. Lou Da, standing nearby, patted Lu Xingchen on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I believe you."

"Brother Huo, keep going! Our superpowered abilities are constantly getting stronger!" Luo Yang said with a tense yet solemn expression, "As long as we keep the hope alive, we can definitely do it."

"No matter what kind of monster it is, just do it." Liang Lei straightened his back: "Anyway, we have no way out. Whether it's a C-level, B-level, or A-level monster, killing one will break even, killing two will make a huge profit, right?"

“That makes perfect sense!” Li Guangwen swallowed hard, clenching his fists tightly.

Ah Bai sat silently beside him, and Li Guangwen also spoke to him.
"Hey buddy, your laser beam is awesome! Just shoot it at that big guy!"

Ah Bai nodded: "Okay...okay."

At this moment, in an old neighborhood that had been reduced to ruins in the north of the city, a passage suddenly opened up in the ground. Immediately, dozens of heavily armored and well-equipped Federation [Black Night Iron Shield] series 8-wheeled all-terrain armored base vehicles quickly drove out of the passage and headed straight for the distance to the north of the city without looking back.

In one of the core vehicles, the interior was brightly lit and extremely luxurious. Wen Dong and Li Jian were fully armed and their brows were furrowed.

Boom!
Li Jian slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's all that guy named Lin Xian's fault! He ruined our recruitment event. Now my mother is under the control of the Phoenix Society, and even the Wanderer No. 1 plan has been completely ruined!"

"Okay!"

Wen Dong's expression shifted between light and dark: "What's the use of saying all this now? You should be grateful that you've escaped with your life!"

"But……"

"So, do you have any ideas on how to take all of these back?"

Li Jian gritted his teeth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Wen Dong then looked at a young man opposite him who was deep in thought and said...

"Chairman Zhou, the core personnel that can be mobilized from the Night Patrol Team and the City Defense Battalion are all here. Although the number is not large, their strength and equipment are top-notch." The young man had a handsome face and a brain-computer interface on the back of his head. Although he had powerful supernatural energy fluctuations, his life aura seemed somewhat disordered. This person was none other than Zhou Mingyuan after his body was transformed using mycelium.

After Wen Dong finished speaking, he looked at a refrigerated compartment at the back of the carriage. Out of caution, Zhou Mingyuan also brought his original body with him.

Seeing the middle-aged politician in the cryogenic chamber, Wen Dong sneered inwardly. He and Li Jian both knew that although the body Zhou Mingyuan had switched into possessed the peak of angel-level superpowers, it wouldn't last more than a month. At that time, the entire convoy's personnel and supplies would naturally fall into the hands of the Wen family. With this foothold, they would still have a chance to turn things around.

However, Wen Dong had no time to think about these things in advance. His immediate priority was to escape Dawn City, this dangerous place that was about to be destroyed!

"Ah."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes: "They are just external things."

"Speed ​​up, we must reach Qingbo before dark. There are many convoys there, and we can take the opportunity to merge some of them."

"Merge?" Li Jian, the hothead, muttered to himself, "What if they don't agree?"

Zhou Mingyuan smiled faintly: "Young man, as the ancients said, no matter how the world changes, all laws remain the same. Power is the foundation of authority, and authority is the path to everything. When you have absolute power, are you still afraid that you cannot forge a throne of power?"

After speaking, he slowly clenched his fist, sensing a powerful surge of supernatural energy. The gloom on his face faded somewhat, replaced by a sense of exhilaration.

Upon hearing this, Li Jian frowned slightly and nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, but I don’t know if what Phoenix TV’s global broadcasting said is true.” At this moment, Li Jian said with some worry, “If we lose this battle, is there really no dawn?”

"Humph."

Zhou Mingyuan scoffed at this: "Just take what politicians say with a grain of salt."

After saying that, his eyes flashed with a cold glint: "If it weren't for Chu Zhaonan's actions, Dawn City would have at least tens of millions of people under its control."

What's the use of having a large population?

Li Jian looked bewildered: "Isn't being swallowed by the Star Abyss the end?"

"You don't understand. The larger the scale, the more resources we have. Our research on the invasion of darkness and human superpowers has grown rapidly in a short period of time. Things will work themselves out..." Wen Dong sneered, "Anyway, in the end, a group of people will survive. Why can't it be us?"

“Your uncle is right.” Zhou Mingyuan said arrogantly, “The Phoenix Society is nothing more than a regime that rose up under the influence of populism in the post-apocalyptic world. Its slogans are always about human civilization and the world. It’s just a platform to overthrow the Federal government. Hmph, it even calls on those who have already fled to come back and die. What a joke!”

Wen Dong nodded, and then used the communicator to give instructions to the convoy.

"Speed ​​up at full speed! We must reach Qingbo City within 3 hours!"

……

Shuguang City, Xingcheng Rail Station.

Jian Xuwei and Monica led a group of heavily armed personnel to reinforce the defenses of the Star City orbital station.

Monica stood on the top deck of the Sky Train, looking at the sky, her beautiful face slightly furrowed.

The sky was overcast and rainy. It was only 15 p.m., but the sky was already terribly gloomy, as if night had come early.

"It's hard to say what will happen now that it's dark. Judging from the current situation, a strange entity could appear at any moment."

Hearing the voice in her earpiece, Jian Xuwei said solemnly, "We've done everything we can. Now we can only go all out."

High above, Jiang Yun looked down at the dense defensive lines being erected below the old city. Under the gloomy rain, the crowds were densely packed. From the perspective of the S-class monster, the humans looked like ants.

Ren Huiyan hovered beside him, looking at his solemn expression, and spoke.
"I rarely see you so nervous."

"More than three million people... perhaps overnight." Jiang Yun looked towards the distant horizon, where dark clouds and rain hung upside down, with no firelight or convoy in sight.

No one came to their aid, and no one returned to Dawn City.

At this moment, the entire Dawn City resembled a lone boat under a black sky.

To the west and south, the sky was terribly gloomy, as if a dark world, like an abyss, was slowly approaching Dawn City from behind the curtain of rain.

In the forests at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, the ground was drizzled with rain on the withered grass and wasteland. It seemed that there was no other sound in the forest except for the sound of the rain. It was unusually quiet.

As the sky gradually darkened, some eerie outlines suddenly appeared and disappeared, and footprints were left on the ground, but they were not continuous and quickly disappeared.

Such strange phenomena seem to have begun to appear in forests, plains, town streets, highways, fields, and hillsides.

Above the No. 1 city wall, the frontline commander saw the outer city area getting darker and darker, and immediately picked up his communicator and shouted.

"Attention! Attention! Something's not right. The polar night may be approaching. Activate all fire control units!"

In the Twin Star Tower Command Center, Ye Lan and the other leaders looked at the screen full of monitoring data from various war zones with extremely solemn expressions.

"It's not even 16 PM yet, which is much faster than yesterday, isn't it?" Huo Jiang said at this moment.

“The Star Abyss is no longer expanding at its original diffusion efficiency. The more it does this, the more it proves our concerns were justified.” Ye Lan turned around and said calmly, “Issue the alarm! Prepare for battle throughout the city!”

"Yes!"

Woo! Woo! Woo!
In an instant, a huge air raid siren sounded over the entire city of Dawn, and the survivors who were still busy building fortifications looked up at the sky in surprise.

"The alarm is on! Quick! Get to position!"

"Disarm all weapons!"

"It's too dark, prepare the flares!"

In an instant, the personnel on the defensive line mobilized, and the queue to enter the shelter also increased its speed while maintaining order.

"Quickly, everyone go inside!"

"Never mind it!"

"Take care, my wife!"

"mom……"

"Hurry up!!!"

"Find a safe location!"

Wade through! Wade through! Wade through!
At this moment, in the sky, the Silent City, the Zhentian Ship, and all the base weapons on the decks of the fleet all raised their cannons in rows. The blue energy beams of the electromagnetic railguns began to charge, the missile array hatches opened, and the search radars were operating at full power.

Drone battle groups began to take off continuously, and the first batch of air patrol probes were dispatched at high speed.

Shinji Mochizuki stood with his hands behind his back on the main bridge of the Silent City's cloud district. The supercomputing power of tens of thousands of quantum bits was used to situationally perceive thousands of weapon systems and sensors in Silent City, and to monitor the entire airspace in 360 degrees.

At this moment, in the Twin Star Tower command center, Ye Lan slowly stood up.

Jiang Yunling stood in the air, Chen Sixuan looked up at the sky, and Ah Bai in the transport ship raised his head.

All of these people spoke at the same time.

"coming!"

……

Woo! !

On the wasteland, the [Black Night Iron Shield] base vehicle convoy kicked up dust as it sped forward with its headlights on. Zhou Mingyuan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the vehicle, heard the sharp air raid siren coming from Dawn City and couldn't help but frown.

"The attack has already begun?"

"So fast?" Wen Dong frowned. He immediately turned on the vehicle's radar system and said, "It should be Xingyuan surrounding us, but our direction is safe. Thousands of convoys have left through this road. We are now traveling away from Xingyuan."

"Ah."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded: "If Ye Lan dies in Dawn City, the Phoenix Society will probably be in big trouble too."

Wen Dong sneered: "None of this concerns us."

Zhou Mingyuan looked at Wen Dong with admiration and said, "You arranged things well. Fortunately, we withdrew at the crucial moment. Next..."

boom!
Before he finished speaking, the entire vehicle suddenly shook violently, as if it had crashed into something. The base vehicle, weighing over ten tons, tilted and overturned, rolling around. Zhou Mingyuan, Wen Dong, and Li Jian were caught off guard and fell head over heels.

"What's wrong!!!"

Zhou Mingyuan sensed the danger and used his powerful supernatural ability to open the car door and fly out, only to find that his entire convoy seemed to have disappeared, leaving only his car overturned on the spot.

"What did we hit?" Wen Dong, who was bleeding from his head, quickly climbed out. It was raining outside, and it was already so dark at 16 p.m. that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The only light that could be used was the headlights of the car to illuminate a pale, desolate area.

"Be careful, there's definitely something strange here!"

Zhou Mingyuan's face darkened, and his mouth began to tremble. He hurriedly and nervously mobilized his superpowers. Although he had obtained this body, combat was clearly not his forte, and he was not very familiar with the body's superpowers.

Click~
Suddenly, a sound of a dead tree breaking came from the darkness. Zhou Mingyuan, like a startled bird, instinctively raised his hand and blasted in that direction.

A blazing white arc of electricity flashed and crackled, unleashing tremendous power. The light illuminated a bizarre humanoid creature, several meters tall, lying prone on the ground in the darkness. However, with Zhou Mingyuan's lightning strike, it completely pierced through the creature's head and spine.

Zhou Mingyuan was panting heavily. Seeing that he had killed the monster in one move, a huge weight was lifted from his heart. He let out a long sigh and looked at his hands with a sense of pride.

"Such immense power, I should have experienced it sooner..."

"what!!"

Just then, Wen Dong suddenly let out a strange cry, pointing to the sky in front of the vehicle and shouting in terror, "What...what is that?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingyuan frowned, and without saying a word, immediately raised his hand and unleashed a bolt of lightning: "No matter what, just kill them!"

boom!
Unexpectedly, as his lightning bolt shot into the sky, the massive lightning instantly illuminated a terrifying scene. Around the headlights of the base vehicle, thousands upon thousands of bizarre and twisted monsters had already surrounded it like a tsunami. In the sky directly in front of them, where the lightning lit up the airspace, Zhou Mingyuan and Wen Dong couldn't even see the full appearance of the creatures in front of them for a moment. They only saw a huge eye suspended in the air among the shadows of the trees.

That gaze was like a judgment from hell, staring straight at him.

Zhou Mingyuan's face was deathly pale, and his lips trembled as he looked at the unseen black curtain and said, "Quick...quick...run away!"

However, in the next instant, the base vehicle's headlights quickly went out in the wilderness.

Dawn City.

Thump thump thump thump!
The first to fire were the Silent City and the air fleet. The giant electromagnetic cannons lit up the sky with their azure arcs, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, firing in dozens of directions at once!
Then, under the light screen of the electromagnetic cannon, the people on Wall 1 and millions of survivors witnessed a breathtaking scene: above the dark clouds, a terrifying creature with twisted and bizarre limbs flashed by in the clouds, and along with it, a horde of flying monsters descended from the sky as if the heavens were collapsing.

The next moment, on the No. 1 city wall, thousands of Thor's Hammer, Great Wall base howitzers and 1130 self-propelled guns all started operating under the fire control system and computing center. The motors started, the bases rotated, and thousands of gun barrels opened at this moment!
Simultaneously unleashing humanity's full metal bullet hell!

2069年10月5日，天启日第129天，下午16:01分。

Star Abyss expanded at an unprecedented rate during the polar night, unleashing a dark tide that engulfed the entire Dawn City. Almost simultaneously, this human capital, with its more than 20 troops and millions of civilians, and its high walls and powerful cannons, was plunged into an epic-scale nighttime war.

The command center, led by Ye Lan, made the correct judgment: the attack came from all directions, not just the west and north of the city. Hundreds of millions of zombies and strange creatures, like a mudslide surging through the mountains and rivers, quickly submerged the suburban towns, highways, railways, forests, and fields surrounding Dawn City.

Even the rain falling from the sky appeared chaotic and unruly due to the dense array of flying creatures.

The battle has begun in earnest.

From the directions of Star Abyss No. 5, Star Abyss No. 7, and Star Abyss No. 8, dozens of giant A-class or even special-class creatures have appeared one after another.

They were either giant humanoid figures or bizarre, twisted insects or creatures, surging forward in the strange tide.

At this moment, the energy cannons, cluster bombs, automatic machine guns, electromagnetic railguns, and weapons of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the human city walls all opened fire. The mech corps was at the forefront, and the surging firepower was reaping the lives of the dark creatures. The flamethrowers of the Vulcan mechs swept across the battlefield, and under the searchlights and tracer rounds, the soldiers seemed to see the endless, bizarre creatures.

A large amount of dark aura surged into the city, and the anomaly began to occur, but it was quickly brought under control. The 16 air defense systems in Dawn City, consisting of Silent Hunters, anti-aircraft guns, storm missile systems, and pulse laser sky arrays, began to fire into the sky. Thousands of pulse lasers shot into the sky. After locking onto the large anomaly, one storm missile after another ignited and rushed out of the missile silos!

The countless people hiding in the underground shelters felt as if the entire city was burning and earthquakes were happening, with the roar filling their ears.

"Quiet down, don't panic!"

"Don't be afraid, stay calm!" an official from the Phoenix Society's emergency response team shouted through a megaphone. "Help each other and have faith in our army!"

Bang bang bang! !

Chen Sixuan did not expect that the battle would become so intense right from the start.

On the city's light rail, an armed train sped along at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, its heavy weapons constantly firing into the sky, the 1130 caliber radiators glowing crimson.

"There's an S-class enemy in the sky, Sasha, air defense!"

"it is good!"

At this moment, Sasha, connected to the neural sympathetic system, sat in the control cockpit of the interstellar hunter. With a raise of her hands, the orbital seismic cannon on the shoulder of the mech, weighing thousands of tons, instantly rose up and began to lock onto a huge, multi-winged creature flying towards the anti-aircraft position, and opened fire fiercely.

Woo!
The violent energy converged, and the ionization shockwave spread for hundreds of meters. The next moment, a beam of blazing white light, several meters in diameter, shot from the muzzle of the Star Trek Cannon, piercing the heavens and earth. Outside the beam, layers of air were ionized into azure arcs of plasma. In an instant, all the walls of the surrounding city's high-rise buildings and streets were illuminated by this intense light, and even the glass curtain walls of distant buildings reflected the light. A violent heat wave, carrying powerful ionization, swayed towards the large, multi-winged creature, causing the team members who were firing on the Joint Train to feel their eyes blinded by the light.

boom!
Everyone felt a powerful shockwave of heat spread out, and then the multi-winged creature that was flapping its wings and swooping down from the sky several kilometers away was instantly sliced ​​into several pieces as if it had been cut through butter by a laser and fell down, with black and red hot cut surfaces still visible at the joints!

"That was at least an A-level anomaly, and it was taken down with a single shot!"

Ning Jing, standing on the roof of the car, exclaimed in surprise.

"The Orbital Seismic Cannon is indeed powerful!"

"careful!"

Bang!
Chen Sixuan fired her sniper rifle, and a small, eerie black creature, no bigger than a palm, rushed toward Ning Jing, only to be blown apart in mid-air by Chen Sixuan.

Ning Jing realized what was happening and looked up at the sky, only to find that dark clouds, like a swarm of bees, were sweeping down over the city buildings.

"Get back into the car and use the flamethrower!"

……

In the Twin Star Tower command center, Ye Lan looked at the various defense zones that had been plunged into full-scale combat in a short time, his gaze slightly somber.

"Report: A special-class creature has appeared in District 9 of the western city, and the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division of the Iron Guard Brigade has suffered heavy casualties!"

"Report: Four Class A and one Special Class creatures have appeared simultaneously in District 5 of the North City. The 11th Armored Division of the Garrison and the Joint Defense Force have lost contact outside the city. The city wall has been hit by a concentrated energy attack and a large breach has appeared!"

"Report: The joint defense positions in Baiyun District have been subjected to a large number of air attacks. The air defense network cannot provide full coverage, and several blocks have already fallen. Some civilian convoys and garrison troops are on their way to provide support!"

"Report: The 7th detachment of the First Special Ability Combat Unit has lost contact at an altitude of 4300 meters over the south of the city. Air patrol ships are conducting a joint rescue operation!"

In a short period of time, a large number of battle casualties and urgent military reports from the front line kept coming in. Ye Lan and a group of Phoenix Society officials were all standing in front of the command screen, and the air was extremely heavy.

"Have you detected the movements of the S-class?"

"The celestial probe observed from thousands of meters above the ground, and seismic waves were detected in District 7 of the southern part of the city, which may be a seismic surge. Apart from that, there are no other observation reports," the reporting official said.

“The S-class possesses considerable intelligence and may be testing our counterattack capabilities.”

Should we actively draw it out?

“No, it’s too early to engage in battle. The Emperor’s ‘Celestial God Group’ hasn’t arrived yet, and Lin Xian’s side may also need more time…” Ye Lan said.

The reporting official then said, "According to Galaxy Heart's statistics, 164 mutations have occurred internally within 30 minutes. Although they have all been dealt with quickly, this infection rate exceeds the scale of any previous war."

Ye Lan shook her head: "The S-rank hasn't emerged yet, and the peak of the infection hasn't arrived. We must hold the line!"
