Doomsday: I Build an Infinite Train.
Chapter 396 Peril!
Chapter 396 Peril! (1.1 words)
With a rumble, red lightning flashed in the dark clouds above Dawn City. It wasn't the original color of lightning, but rather the sky that had been scorched red by smoke and fire!
At this moment, within Dawn City, the Silent City and the Heavenly Suppression Ship were already maneuvering in the sky. Above the black clouds, the largest atmospheric creatures were constantly sending out bizarre, crimson spikes like meteorites, causing countless ships and air patrol aircraft to crash.
A subnuclear device was launched from the Phoenix Society's ground-based air defense position, accelerating to hypersonic speeds in a short time before soaring into the clouds.
boom!
A giant, circular, explosive cloud illuminated half the sky in the thunderclouds, like a white hole appearing instantly above Dawn City. The destructive shockwave evaporated the clouds and rain, blasting a visible hole in the dark sky.
Above the Silent City, Qian Suxun looked at the horizon where even the air seemed to have been drawn into a semi-vacuum. The atmospheric creature was only halfway up its body, like an ancient monster from the depths of the sea in a myth. Countless tentacles, as tall as buildings, reached down from the clouds, strangling the human fleet.
On the main bridge, Shinji Mochizuki, who was observing the energy fluctuations of the [Heavenly Touch], immediately manipulated the Silent City to fire a Hyperion Directional Restraint Cannon the instant the subnuclear weapon exploded!
The giant white missile unleashed a sonic boom, tearing through the dark sky and instantly reaching the front line. It then released a vector pulse and turned vertically. In an instant, six petal-like energy focusers unfolded at the bottom of the missile, and the central core began to rotate, emitting a blinding white light. Aiming at the core life part of the atmospheric creature's tentacles, it exploded with an energy torrent like a solar corona!
Shinji Mochizuki's judgment proved correct. At this moment, the atmospheric creature, having withstood the energy burst of the subnuclear weapon and the defensive force field that had not yet regenerated, was directly pierced by the energy beam of the space-based weapon. The violent light beam was like a sharp sword in the sky, directly piercing through the sky for several kilometers. In an instant, the countless tentacles hanging down from the clouds all began to writhe wildly.
At that moment, as the Hyperion Directional Restraint Cannon hit its mark precisely, the sky suddenly fell silent. As all the fleet's cannons fired densely upwards, the survivors in the city below looked up and were shocked to discover that something was falling from the clouds!
Something fell down!
"In the direction of Chenhui District!"
"careful!"
With a whoosh, a burning object plummeted down from the dark clouds. Shinji Mochizuki's observation system immediately focused and discovered that it was actually a piece of biological tissue connected to three giant tentacles, falling from the sky like a meteorite!
Meanwhile, in the streets below, a defensive line of more than a dozen convoys was firmly held, and the garrison company responsible for protecting it immediately called out on the action channel.
"Back off! Get out of the way! Something's falling!"
With a whoosh, the crowd on the street line rushed off in all directions, but the enormous biological structures in the sky fell like two skyscrapers, and these ordinary people couldn't outrun the speed of the fall.
At this moment, several figures arrived in the sky together. Lu Xingchen was like a shooting star, flashing a straight line of fire above the city in the dark night. His whole body was burning fiercely, and the Mach rings behind him surged. He rushed straight at the falling biological tissue. He gathered fire in his hands and directly shot out two sky-burning flames!
"God - Incineration!"
Boom! The raging fire burned the biological tissue into several pieces, turning it into a thick paste that evaporated.
At the same time, KIKI and Jiang Yun used their abilities to sweep away the survivors and soldiers in four blocks at the critical moment. Thousands of people felt as if they were swept up by a gust of wind and then escaped from the huge, split organization.
With a deafening roar, the massive chunk of biological tissue shattered and destroyed large sections of streets and buildings, sending dust billowing into the air. The dust swept up all the survivors in the surrounding dozens of blocks who were defending themselves.
"We've taken down part of it!" KIKI said, panting as she looked up at the sky.
"It's not enough!" Jiang Yun looked at the destroyed streets and said gravely, "More and more people are pouring into the city. It seems that the city walls in the west and south of the city will soon be unable to hold them back."
Above Silent City, Shinji Mochizuki's gaze was sharp. On the monitor, the atmospheric creatures above the clouds were rapidly disappearing into higher altitudes. At the same time, the countless strange creatures in the sky seemed to be receiving some kind of command, all gathering together and diving towards Silent City and the Zhen Tian fleet under cover.
Boom boom boom!
Faced with this massive impact, all the fleets could only raise all their cannons and fire rapidly into the sky, according to their radar!
Ka Ka Ka
Through the communicator, Chen Sixuan's voice came through: "Large-scale bizarre entities are attacking the city walls from the north side of the city. Those monsters are about to surround the entire city!"
On the light rail line of Dawn City's fourth ring road, a heavy train resembling a black dragon sped along, sparks flying across the tracks. All the windows of the train were open, and thousands of members of the Infinite Alliance were frantically fighting on the roof and inside the carriages.
Ning Jing, Shu Qin, Xiao Qing, Luo Luo, A Min, Lü Chang, and Miao Lu, these genetically evolved individuals clad in power armor, moved nimbly across the train, firing their weapons.
Bang!
On the roof of carriage number 1 of the Infinite, Chen Sixuan, wearing the Black Hawk power armor, pierced through two flying winged beasts with a single shot. She observed the intense artillery fire and countless strange shadows climbing on the high wall north of the city and immediately said into the communicator: "The reserve forces have all gone to reinforce, and the mech corps is concentrated in the south and west of the city. They probably won't be able to hold out for much longer!"
At the rear of the joint convoy, Sasha, piloting the Space Hunter, said, "Then let's go help!"
"Okay!" Ning Jing responded, "If City Wall 1 falls, everyone retreat towards the inner city area of City Wall 2!"
On the street below, a convoy of heavily armed base vehicles was speeding along the city's main road, clearing away monsters on the ground and in the sky. This convoy was the [Steel Sun] convoy that Jian Zeyang had set up in the outer city. Most of the vehicles and weapons came from the Finger Group, but the team was mainly composed of the main force of those poor convoys in the outer city.
In the first car, Jian Zeyang had Ke Zai drive at top speed while he operated a large pulse cannon to continuously kill monsters.
"Iron Sun Team, charge with me!" In this desperate darkness, Jian Zeyang felt a mix of fear and excitement. This was the first tough battle he had fought as the leader of a team, and this battle was directly related to the survival of everyone involved.
"Sweep around the defensive entrances of this underground shelter, don't let those monsters rush into the shelter!" Jian Zeyang shouted.
"Zeyang!"
Jian Xuwei, who was far away at the Xingcheng Rail Station, saw the dense flames burning in the east of the city and said to him in the channel: "The city wall may be about to fall. Your convoy should be careful!"
"If the city wall falls, we're finished, we're not safe anymore, sis!" Jian Zeyang shouted as he fired a pulse beam into the sky.
At the Twin Star Tower command center, Ye Lan has stood motionless in front of the command screen since the start of the war, receiving a constant stream of battle reports, but the situation is not optimistic.
Since the day of the apocalypse, humanity has never encountered such a large-scale attack by a strange horde of beings, or rather, never experienced a war of this magnitude. Yet, the Phoenix Society's high-ranking officials and staff in countless command centers watched the current battlefield situation with bated breath.
This world-destroying scale is definitely the first direct attack launched by Xingyuan, and it does indeed confirm the intelligence conclusions of the Crescent Moon Project.
This was a test of humanity by a dark civilization.
It's also the last time.
"Forget about deploying S-class units, this level of force seems endless." Xu Zhenyue frowned, looking at the situation on dozens of large combat screens, and said, "We've been fighting for so long, and the monsters in the darkness seem to keep coming..."
Ye Lan said slowly, "But every soldier we lose is one less."
Xu Zhenyue said solemnly, "According to our investigation, all the strange creatures below the Special or A-level are mass-produced by the 'mother nest' in the Star Abyss. Based on the time expansion inside, it can be said that tens of thousands of monsters are 'produced' every minute. And the S-level monsters will absorb the energy of these monsters to continuously repair and strengthen themselves. If our firepower cannot break this cycle, the fall of the city is only a matter of time."
Former federal senator Xu Yan also said with a solemn expression, "The anomalies in the city are getting more and more serious. Soldiers on the front line of the No. 1 city wall are also starting to mutate. The concentration of the dark invasion is too high."
"Report: A large number of strange hordes have been detected converging from the north and east of the city!"
"Report! The firepower in the northern part of the city is critically low!"
Xu Zhenyue frowned upon hearing this: "Have other S-class individuals appeared?"
"No results have been found yet."
Xu Zhenyue said in a deep voice, "They should all have been drawn there by the city wall's firepower. The firepower in the south and west of the city is too strong. Since those monsters couldn't break through, they split up and began to surround the entire city to find a way to break through! The main force of the garrison and the Iron Guard Brigade are all concentrated on the S-level side. If the rear is lost, the city will be in complete chaos!"
After saying this, he immediately ordered: "Immediately arrange for the reserve regiments and the city's defense groups to assist in the defense of the northern and eastern defensive sectors of the city."
"Yes!"
“All directions are surrounded…” Ye Lan looked at the real-time footage of the enemy approaching the eastern and northern front lines of the city. The monsters that surged out of the night seemed to be surrounding Dawn City from all directions. He frowned and said, “This doesn’t look like it was diverted. If such a large-scale monster tide were to surround the city, it wouldn’t have waited until now.”
Ye Lan turned around: "It's more like receiving some kind of command signal..."
At that moment, everyone felt as if the air was suffocating.
In the western suburbs of the city, in sector 8 of the western city, the Vermilion Bird, wielding two Vermilion Bird plasma diffraction swords, smashed through urban streets and shattered large swathes of bizarre creatures at extremely high speeds, maneuvering around the side of creature number 18, the Wanderer.
The creature, with its many legs, resembling a twisted creature composed of long legs, had a scarlet maw at its front that looked like an abyss. Its eyes and other parts were indistinguishable. Around the maw were countless sharp claws and limbs that writhed in a cycle. With each movement of the scarlet maw, it spewed out clusters of grayish-green smoke that corroded large areas of buildings.
For this reason, the mech division and special mobile battalion under Huo Jiang's command could only avoid direct confrontation and conduct long-range strikes.
"Try cutting off a few legs first!"
Inside the cockpit of the Suzaku, Bai Ye proposed a strategy.
"it is good!"
Wade through! Wade through! Wade through!
At this moment, on the back of the Emperor-Vermilion Bird, six self-propelled thermite bombs unfolded like the wings of a Vermilion Bird, gliding through the air in precise arcs before converging and blasting towards the Wanderer. Before the thermite bombs even arrived, a defensive force field, like black glass, appeared on this terrifying and ugly creature with an irregular polyhedral structure.
However, Bai Ye and Su Rui had already witnessed the power of its defensive force field. This time, the thermite bomb exploded directly in the air. The battlefield sky was illuminated by the bright thermite, which cascaded down like a waterfall.
The Wanderer was instantly enveloped by a barrage of 3,000-degree aluminum-thermal fireworks, like iron trees and silver flowers. Even under the defensive force field, the terrifying high temperature caused large areas of burns to its body, leaving a pungent, burnt smell.
"Buzz!!"
The Wanderer let out a painful cry, its scarlet mouth spewing acid mist that covered the direction of the Vermilion Bird. By this time, the Vermilion Bird was no longer in its original position. In the smoke behind it, the Vermilion Bird, with its flowing red energy lines, held two Vermilion Bird Plasma Diffraction Swords and leaped out with precise movements!
"Storm Tactics!"
"Storm Tactics!"
Bai Ye and Su Rui shouted simultaneously, their two plasma diffraction swords crossed, and with a swing of their arms, they severed the thickest leg of the [Wanderer] in mid-air just as its acid mist defensive field disappeared. Then, the Vermilion Bird activated multiple power thrusters, violently jetting air, adjusting its posture in mid-air, rotating its mecha body, and the two plasma diffraction swords spiraled past, quickly cutting four huge gashes in its wake.
puff!
In an instant, a foul-smelling, dark green liquid gushed out, and the Wanderer writhed wildly. At that moment, the multi-legged behemoth suddenly twisted its body, and one of its long legs, its back covered in acid, reversed and lashed out from behind the Vermilion Bird, striking directly at it.
"Release force!"
"Liquid nitrogen injection!"
At this moment, Bai Ye and Su Rui, who were completely unable to avoid the attack, immediately adjusted their mecha posture, twisted their upper bodies, and crossed their arms to block. At the same time, as the acid began to spray and corrode the composite armor of the Vermilion Bird, a large amount of white liquid nitrogen sprayed out from their arms, freezing the surging acid mist and the liquid on the surface of their skin. However, the entire mecha was still blasted away, crashing through a cluster of urban buildings and sliding for hundreds of meters.
In an instant, countless bizarre creatures swarmed toward the Vermilion Bird like ants. Inside the cockpit, Bai Ye, who had regained some of his senses, immediately reached out and pressed an operation button.
boom!
At this moment, all the joints of the Vermilion Bird emitted powerful torrents of plasma flames, instantly incinerating a section of the strange creature under the high temperature.
"Su Rui, wake up!"
Bai Ye woke his wife. The powerful shockwave caused both of them to suffer a mental shock, with blood streaming from their noses. But they couldn't care less about that at the moment. They stood up again, unfurled their plasma diffraction swords, and under the searchlight, they saw the thick, dark gray fog blending completely with the night. A strong wind carried it rapidly toward the Vermilion Bird and the large number of mech pilots and the city walls behind it.
"Avoid the acid mist!" Su Rui shouted, and the two of them retreated sharply together. However, the acid mist had already rushed past the front of the Vermilion Bird. In an instant, the composite armor plates on the front and right leg of the mech began to melt, and the alarm in the cockpit blared.
"Leap!"
The couple gritted their teeth and shouted, simultaneously bending their legs. The propulsion units of the Suzaku's legs immediately activated, and with the hydraulic ejection force, the entire 2.2-ton mech leaped out from the spot.
Behind them, the Iron Guard Brigade's massive mech formations were now shrouded in acid mist. Large quantities of the mechs' metal shells began to corrode and dissolve, and countless soldiers were quickly exposed to the acid mist and corrosive toxic gas, dying with screams of agony.
The situation on City Wall No. 1 was even more dire. Acid mist swept across the wall for nearly a kilometer, and the soldiers defending the wall were almost annihilated into dust within seconds. Automatic cannons and bastion turrets went offline and disappeared.
"Run!"
"Dodge!"
Countless people disappeared without even making a sound. At this moment, some soldiers who had survived the disaster on the city wall got up and looked at the entire silent city wall. They didn't have time to feel fear before their commander rushed up.
"Stop standing there, quickly reconfigure the weapons!"
"Air defense cover!"
Large numbers of soldiers rushed back into the area of death to fill the gaps in the city's defenses. But as soon as they arrived, countless bizarre creatures had already climbed the city walls from the darkness. Dense fog spiders emitted thick fog, and the bizarre creatures began to spread like a tide.
On the banks of the former Dawn River in the South City Sector 5, amidst billowing smoke and dust, the No. 11 S-class creature [Earth Surge] roared deafeningly. Like a giant underground monster resurrected from a volcano, its roaring advance caused widespread earthquakes, reducing the surrounding urban buildings to rubble.
Its thick outer layer of tissue resembles a mountain, and thick, dark gray smoke constantly emanates from its hills, ravines, and cracks in its shell. Even after a missile strike causes a massive explosion, it only leaves behind a cloud of stone-like debris.
It moved forward like a mountain, ignoring all the firepower, surrounded by a tidal wave of strange entities that flowed beneath it like water before attacking multiple sections of the southern city wall of Dawn City.
Boom boom boom!
Amidst the smoke and fire, a deafening footstep echoed, and a colossal mech, its body a deep blue and equipped with two nuclear-powered cores, charged out with fury. Its left arm held horizontally in front, the Emperor-Black Tortoise, wielding a massive magnetic rail shield, charged directly towards them. Sensing the approaching threat, the Earth Surge immediately lowered its head, revealing strange, mountain-like horns, and continuously emitted a large area of invisible infrasound, distorting even the air in the fan-shaped area in front of it.
"on!"
Inside the cockpit of the Xuanwu, the two brothers, Qin Yue and Qin Chuan, gritted their teeth. The magnetic rail shield withstood the violent infrasound waves. With their right arm extended, a giant high-frequency blade chain sword, tens of meters long, slid out from the mecha arm. The hydraulic spine of the sword retracted, and electric arcs flickered!
"Behead!"
"Behead!"
The two brothers shouted and raised their chain swords, slashing down fiercely at the head and neck of the [Earth Surge]!
rub rub!
With a piercing, sharp slash, the chain sword sliced through the top of the [Earth Surge] like cleaving through skyscrapers, severing large sections of its 'mountain peaks'. Countless boulders of keratinous skin crashed down, yet this thunderous strike revealed not a trace of blood or the [Earth Surge's] internal tissues. Upon seeing this, the Qin brothers immediately gripped their right hands, retracting the high-frequency blade chain sword. With a series of swift movements, the Xuanwu mecha raised its right arm, its mechanical right hand's five fingers and wrist joint rapidly transforming into a triangular plasma phase ring.
"Activate the plasma cannon!"
"Activate the plasma cannon!"
Boom! In the blink of an eye, three plasma cannons slammed directly into the face of [Earth Surge]. The plasma, which was thousands of degrees hot, exploded, and the azure ionized light illuminated the entire area.
[Earth Surge] A muffled roar came from the ground, and the Xuanwu was forced back two steps, causing the ground to tremble.
"Fire coverage!"
Upon seeing this, the Qin brothers immediately shouted. At this moment, two 60-meter-class interstellar predators appeared beside the Xuanwu, setting up their orbital stroboscopic cannons. At the same time, hundreds of Iron Guard-3, Guardian-X, and Vulcan mechs formed an iron wall and began to unleash firepower on the entire area!
In an instant, a barrage of cannon fire, rays, flames, and a metal storm engulfed the Earth Surge along with the entire horde of monsters. Two dazzling beams of energy from the Star Cannons struck the ground, creating two annihilating melting ravines, before crashing down onto the Earth Surge's head.
At this moment, under the powerful firepower, almost one-third of the 'mountains' and armor layer on [Earth Surge]'s body were plowed open, and countless body tissues exploded and flew away!
"They killed them?!"
After a barrage of fire lasting several minutes, the battlefield was filled with smoke and flames. During a lull in the fire, the pilot of one of the Star Raiders saw this scene and immediately spoke on the communication frequency.
"and many more!"
Qin Yue frowned as he looked at the strange energy fluctuations in the holographic interface, and immediately shouted, "Prepare for impact defense!"
Woo!
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone suddenly realized that the surrounding strange remains and black mist seemed to be controlled by some powerful force, converging at an extremely fast speed towards the center of the area that had been blasted into a giant crater by the firepower. A high-frequency energy shrieked, and the next moment, a huge dark red shockwave spread out in a spherical shape. This powerful shockwave directly blasted away a large number of combat mechs from the Iron Guard Brigade and the garrison, and the dust on the ground spread for several kilometers!
At that moment, only the Xuanwu and two Star Raiders withstood the shockwave. In an instant, the rubble and corpses of the strange creatures on the ground were almost completely leveled, forming an ash impact zone with a diameter of more than one kilometer!
Beep beep beep! Inside the cockpit of the Xuanwu, multiple alarms sounded simultaneously. The Qin brothers, recovering from the shockwave, focused their gazes on the center. They saw that the [Earth Surge] was now covered in large patches of the grotesque remains of its limbs and skin, completely enveloped in a black liquid resembling asphalt, turning its entire body pitch black. On its eerie head, two bloodshot eyes emitted a twisted, terrifying aura. As the 'asphalt' changed, its size seemed to grow even larger…
"Battle situation confirmed: S-class anomalies can absorb energy from their own kind to multiply!"
Qin Yue's eyes trembled, and he immediately spoke into the communicator.
"We must kill them all in one go!"
"Chain sword, prepare!"
The Xuanwu mecha raised its high-frequency blade chain sword again, but at that moment, the center of the impact zone suddenly began to tremble violently, and a large amount of smoke and dust was raised. Qin Yue and his younger brother Qin Chuan noticed the abnormality and immediately fired two plasma cannons. However, as two bursts of plasma exploded in the center, they were shocked to find that a huge sinkhole had appeared on the ground in the center, and the entire city and the Huangpu River were turbulent under the earthquake.
Seeing the disappearing [earth surge], Qin Yue immediately looked at the direction of the shockwave on the monitor, and his expression changed instantly.
Because he actually saw two different seismic wave signals!
"No! Back off!"
The Qin brothers' expressions changed drastically. They immediately manipulated the Xuanwu mecha to retreat a few steps. But at this moment, the water in the deep water of the Pujiang River behind them surged violently, and a dark behemoth a hundred meters tall suddenly emerged. Its fangs shot into the sky and directly tore off the left arm of the Xuanwu mecha that was holding the magnetic rail shield!
"Oops!!"
Qin Chuan shouted "Oh no!" Qin Yue had already reacted and gritted his teeth, yelling...
"Horizontal slash!"
hum!
The two brothers reacted extremely quickly. Before the severed mecha arm even hit the ground, they had already controlled the chain sword on the right arm to make a large arc horizontal slash. The chain sword burst out with a strong sound of wind breaking and slashed through, cutting off half of the head of the suddenly appearing underground creature.
Rumble.
The giant underground worm, which had not been killed by a single blow, quickly shrank its body and prepared to escape. Qin Yue and Qin Chuan were not about to let it go, but just as they raised their chain swords again, a towering shadow carrying a subsonic shockwave slammed into it and sent it flying.
[Earth Surge]!
At this moment, the giant underground worm rapidly burrowed into the ground, causing the ground to surge, and headed directly towards the city wall several kilometers away. The garrison there had already noticed the anomaly, but it was too late. While the cannons were still roaring, the giant worm, still dripping with tissue fluid, burst out of the ground and slammed into the No. 1 city wall. The reinforced concrete wall was instantly smashed open, creating a huge gap and cracks everywhere.
hum!
A gravitational beam shot out from under one of the city walls, piercing through the already dying giant worm. But at that moment, countless bizarre creatures surged into the breach like a flood.
"what!!!"
The Xuanwu, bracing itself against the impact of the tidal surge, glided along, its thousands of engines running at full power, the hydraulic drive columns creaking and groaning.
Seeing the city walls suddenly attacked, Qin Yue roared in anger.
"Jet Sword!"
Upon hearing this, the two brothers immediately synchronized, retracting their chain swords from their right arms. While supporting the Earth Surge, they simultaneously delivered a punch to the jaw with one arm. Immediately afterward, the gate behind their right arms opened, revealing 12 detonation engines!
"ignition!"
"ignition!"
Boom! The 12 detonation engines exploded instantly, and the huge thrust generated propelled the high-frequency blade chain sword directly out. The chain sword, tens of meters long, flashed with electric arcs of light and carried violent metallic force, piercing straight from the jaw of the ground to the top of the skull.
"hold head high!!!"
The earth emitted a painful groan, opened its sharp mouth and bit down on the Xuanwu's nuclear-powered turbine engine. In an instant, the chest armor shattered inch by inch.
Seeing this, Qin Yue and Qin Chuan exchanged glances, perfectly in sync. The chain sword on their right arms released barbs that hooked onto the head of the earth surge, and then they bent their arms and shouted!
"Core plasma jetting!"
"Core plasma jetting!"
Whoosh!!! At this moment, the orange-yellow pulse of the niobium-titanium superconducting ring at the mouth of the nuclear-powered turbine engine, which was being gripped by the ground surge, began to heat up and erupt. A violent beam of crimson plasma was sprayed directly at the mouth and face of the ground surge!
With a hissing sound, the intense heat of thousands of degrees instantly charred the mouthparts and half of the lower jaw of the [Earth Surge]. It tried to struggle, but its head was caught by the barbs of the chain sword. With a scream, the monster suddenly pulled back, forcibly pulling its head out of the chain sword. In an instant, large amounts of tissue and brain matter spurted out.
Just as Xuanwu was about to sever its head, [Earth Surge] opened its charred mouth and an invisible infrasound wave struck from the side again, directly blasting the Xuanwu away. Countless power components exploded and crashed into a pile of rubble!
Enraged, the Earth Surge roared and charged toward the Xuanwu once more.
[Warning! Warning! Biohazard!]
Inside the Xuanwu's cockpit, filled with debris and dust, Qin Yue and Qin Chuan struggled to their feet.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
At this moment, Qin Yue looked at the breach in the city wall. Thousands upon thousands of strange creatures had already poured into Dawn City and the city wall, and countless soldiers were fighting desperately.
"Plug the breach first!"
Qin Yue shouted, and he and Qin Chuan sheathed their chain swords, grabbed the torn left arm and magnetic rail shield from the ground, swung them horizontally, and used the magnetic rail shield to shake off the [Earth Surge]. Then they swung it in a circle and threw the left arm into the air. A few seconds later, with a powerful whooshing sound, the Xuanwu's huge magnetic rail shield and the entire left arm crashed down from the sky and pierced the gap. In an instant, dust and smoke rose up, and countless strange creatures were shattered!
At this moment, most of the breach in the city wall was blocked, but [Earth Surge] seized the opportunity and once again blasted the Xuanwu out of the way with a close-range infrasound wave, sending it crashing directly into the Huangpu River. The surging river water quickly poured into the mech, and the warning lights flashed on and off...
"Report: A special-level anomaly has appeared in the south of the city. The Xuanwu has been severely damaged and sunk into the Huangpu River. We are unable to find any signs of survival."
"Special-class? How many are there?"
"More than one! Two new biological fluctuations have been discovered in the west of the city, and they are very likely both of the Special Class!"
West of the city!
More than 200,000 survivors were scattered across dozens of blocks in the city, fighting against the monsters that were pouring into the city. Wang Hongyuan of the Infinite Alliance Hongyuan Merchant Alliance led a convoy to camp in a commercial district, where gunfire raged from building to building.
"Why are there so many more in the city!" Wang Hongyuan cursed, blasting several monsters that had emerged from the street with a single rocket launcher.
"Captain, has the enemy fallen over there?"
"Which way?"
The younger brother pointed towards the west of the city. Wang Hongyuan turned around and looked at the city wall not far away. He saw that the city wall, which stretched for several kilometers, was already on fire. Under the raging flames, the terrifying hordes of strange creatures poured into the city wall. Various large strange creatures were destroying the main structure of the city wall. Large sections of the city wall were broken and cracked, with dense holes and gaps appearing. Although countless soldiers were still resisting with all their might, the strange creatures seemed to be pouring into the city out of control.
"Damn it, isn't there a giant mecha over there? Where's the Vermilion Bird?!"
Wang Hongyuan's face turned pale. Before he could finish speaking, a huge burst of crimson flames suddenly exploded in the sky. A massive mech crashed through a section of the city wall under the immense impact and then plummeted into the city, turning several blocks into ruins and rubble. A huge cloud of dust erupted, and the Vermilion Bird knelt in a shattered street, with large sections of mechs burning.
Woo!
Hydraulic oil and coolant mixed with rainwater, pooling into a fluorescent blue bloodstain at his feet. Three vicious claw marks on his breastplate were half a meter deep, and the metal edges were twisted and rolled up due to the high temperature, revealing the flickering circuits and broken pipes inside.
A Vermilion Bird Plasma Diffraction Sword was broken, the casing of the turbine engine was pierced by the monster's tail spike, and the damaged heat dissipation fins stood erect like broken wings, but the roar of the core power reactor still did not diminish.
"Bai Ye! Bai Ye!"
Inside the cockpit, Su Rui, her face covered in blood, called out to Bai Ye, who was unconscious from the shock of the neural connection. While facing the [Wanderer], two special-class bizarre entities suddenly appeared, catching the two off guard. Although the Suzaku's agility and maneuverability allowed the entire machine to react quickly and avoid being directly dismembered, it was still severely damaged.
A gust of wind swept in, quickly extinguishing the flames burning on the Vermilion Bird. The supernatural combat team led by Zeno had gathered in the western part of the city, their power armor flying in the air. KIKI, witnessing this, looked grave.
"The south side of the city can't hold out either. At least three or four extraordinary-level bizarre entities have appeared. How are we supposed to deal with this?!"
"Patch this gap first!" Zino said.
"The city wall is about to collapse! Go and provide support!" shouted a surviving convoy.
"Quickly, don't let the monsters into the city!"
"Come on!"
Countless voices converged in the survivor channel as large numbers of armored vehicles and troops from the garrison and Iron Guard brigade began to support the breach in the city wall. In the sky and on the ground, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of survivor convoy members converged into an iron torrent, rushing towards the city wall in the west of the city.
They no longer cared; their families and children were in the shelters within the city, and countless lives would perish once the city walls collapsed completely.
Lu Xingchen followed the team of superpowered individuals, flying through the air to the city wall. He used all his superpowered abilities, which he was once proud of, to kill hordes of monsters. However, he still couldn't stop the hundred-meter-high No. 1 city wall, which was now riddled with holes and many structures were beginning to collapse. Soldiers fell from it in despair.
The city walls were trembling.
"Fire! Full firepower!"
The commander's voice boomed through the communication channel, and the next second, the artillery arrays on the city walls roared simultaneously. The blue light of the electromagnetic cannons tore through the night, the exhaust plumes of rockets poured down like a meteor shower, and high-explosive incendiary bombs blasted a sea of fire across the wasteland outside the city walls.
But what the firelight illuminates is the real nightmare.
Outside the city walls, endless bizarre monsters, all kinds of huge bizarre creatures, surged out of the darkness like a tide, but were more twisted than a tide.
Further away, there were even more—writhing mountains of flesh, blood-red vines covered in eyeballs, and colossal beasts pieced together from corpses…
"It's too late to stop it..."
A man with a gun, his eyes filled with fear, stared at the desperate wave of monsters. His mind went blank, and he trembled as he backed away.
"Even the Emperor Mech can't beat it, it's over, it's completely over..."
On the city wall, the garrison soldier, having run out of ammunition, kept searching for weapons from his sentry post. As he picked up a heavy machine gun and turned around, a huge maw, resembling a scarlet abyss, suddenly appeared in front of him. Countless sharp limbs surrounded it like a hunting net, constantly drawing in the surrounding black mist.
Seeing this, dozens of soldiers were completely stunned, and began to be infected by the powerful darkness, their eyes becoming bloodshot.
"fire punch!"
Boom! Suddenly, a massive burst of fire descended from the sky, crashing head-on into the enormous maw. Lu Xingchen swiftly swept past, shouting towards them...
"Heroes, do not give up!"
His urgent shout snapped the group out of their daze. They broke out in a cold sweat, regained their senses, and raised their guns to fight back once more.
KIKI flew over quickly, grabbing large amounts of boulders and building parts to plug the gaps in the damaged city walls, while shouting to Lu Xingchen, "Watch out for that S-rank!"
Hundreds of thousands of troops, composed of garrison soldiers, Iron Guard brigades, superhumans, and survivors, advanced toward the city walls, attempting to stop the monsters that kept pouring into the city. However, as the city walls broke more and more, the number of the monsters seemed endless, and the raging flood spread infinitely. These encircling troops began to be suppressed and forced to retreat into the streets, where street fighting broke out.
"The passage to Shelter 13 has been opened!"
"Hurry up and save people!"
The frequency band was in chaos. At the entrance of an underground shelter in the west of the city, a dozen convoys were guarding the entire block. At this moment, a convoy of steel vehicles rushed out from the monster horde, unleashing powerful firepower to surround the entire street, forming another steel defensive line.
This is Jian Zeyang's Steel Sun team.
To the east of the city, an armed train stretched for fifteen kilometers along the intercity high-speed rail, resisting the strange entities that were surging in from the city walls. The tracks had broken, and the train had come to a stop. This was the Infinite Joint Train.
At 22:12, a quarter of Dawn City had fallen, and countless monsters poured into the city. All the defensive lines in the city were fighting desperately.
Vast areas began to fall, and large numbers of fleets continued to fall from the sky.
To the west of the city, a large section of the No. 1 city wall collapsed, the ground surged, and a strange, tsunami-like tide of beings rushed out from the darkness.
"Urgent report: The No. 11 biome [Emergence] in sector 5 has disappeared from the area, and the monitored target is approaching the west of the city!"
"Both S-class ships are about to enter through the west city wall!"
"Report! The reconnaissance aircraft detected a massive fluctuation in Dark Spirit Energy in the western direction of the city!"
In the Twin Star Tower command center, the battle was nearing its end. Ye Lan stared grimly at the images transmitted back by the reconnaissance aircraft. In the dark torrent, besides the [Wanderer] and the approaching seismic signals, about 60 kilometers to the northwest, a gigantic humanoid creature, surging with violent dark invasion waves, was rapidly approaching, its arms swinging. The air within the mountains trembled violently, and it was heading towards Dawn City with overwhelming power, like an evil god from hell!
Meanwhile, in the mountains and valleys below, the dark torrents seemed to be driven forward all the way, crossing mountains and valleys, crushing villages and towns, surging forward like a mudslide in the pitch-black night.
An extremely powerful dark invasion spread rapidly. The soldiers and survivors on the western city wall and those who were resisting seemed to sense the approach of some creature of despair and fear. The infection level in the city immediately soared to level 4, and tens of thousands of people began to be infected and mutated in despair.
Corpse transporter!
"The corpse-driver has appeared!!!"
"Oops……"
"It's already at level four infection; the military can't hold them off any longer!"
"We have no choice but to retreat and defend Wall Number 2!"
"Casualties are rising, and the First Mech Division of the South City Garrison is about to be wiped out."
"If the corpse-drivers enter the city, they will definitely break through the level five infection barrier..."
Inside the command center, the top officials all spoke out urgently.
Standing in front of the command screen, Ye Lan looked at the string of death tolls and the vast red areas of the city out of control, and said to Su Jin without turning her head.
"Did the isopotential device receive the signal?"
"not yet!"
Su Jin stared at the 0% number on the device screen, her expression grave.
"what is that?"
Just then, Xu Yan suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
Everyone turned to look in the direction he was pointing.
That was a monitoring alert issued by the observation devices on the city walls in the north and east directions of the city.
Meanwhile, the soldiers who were fighting desperately on the city wall suddenly noticed that there seemed to be lights shining in the darkness in the distance.
The commander confirmed that it was indeed a light.
Because it was the shape illuminated by car headlights, initially there were only a few dozen such lights, but gradually, more and more lights pierced the darkness and lit up the fields.
Kaka.
A hissing sound came from the commander's communication frequency. He couldn't hear it clearly, probably due to signal interference, so he turned up the volume.
"Dawn, this is Lin Qingyu from the Dawn Watchers Alliance. Be aware of friend or foe identification. We are on our way to provide support!"
"Dawn, this is the Wanderers' Alliance, this is Yu Huai'an! We are on our way to provide support!"
The commander's breathing began to tremble as he frantically turned the communicator knob, unleashing a flood of even more sounds.
"We are the Wind Whisperers Racing Team..."
"The Common Alliance is back! We have 15 men!"
"Dawn, this is the Iron Wall, Xu Yufei..."
"Dawn! Dawn! This is the Full Metal Panic Racing team... 37 kilometers away."
"Dawn, we are..."
"Protect Dawn City!!!"
"Dawn City belongs to our Dragon Kingdom!!!"
"Screw S-Class!"
"So what if we die? Charge, all of you!"
On the city walls, the soldiers and survivors guarding Dawn City gazed into the darkness. They saw trucks, armored vehicles, off-road vehicles, base vehicles, buses...
Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands!
A torrent of light surged across the dark wasteland, countless car headlights illuminating the darkness.
Like a vast Milky Way.
Meanwhile, at the Twin Star Tower Command Center, on Su Jin's homing device monitoring instrument, the data reception progress bar, which had been silent until then, suddenly changed from 0% to 1%.
Immediately, a very faint signal echoed intermittently in the command hall.
"Secondary propulsion deceleration..."
"Atmospheric reentry attitude adjustment..."
"Calibrate the landing site..."
"Attention, Dawn City..."
"The entire city should prepare for potential impacts!"
