Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 90 89. The first run-in of the new team went smoothly
The attack of strange-looking things came as expected.

However, this time they hit a wall.

Those little monsters that looked like marching ants couldn't catch up with Sefer's car at all. Sefer's car was rolling on the tracks in front, and they were chasing it relentlessly from behind, but the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

You can even use the weapons equipped with fire control kits on both sides of the vehicle to carry out cleaning work to prevent those things from getting too close to you.

The only threat was the long-range projections, but this problem became non-issue after Tien rushed into the control cabin and asked Cypher to hand over the driving to her.

Obviously, everyone is looking at the same screen. Safe even has a more advanced threat scanner connected to the vehicle, which can scan at a longer distance with the support of the vehicle system.

But Tien was able to predict the attack earlier than these systems, and could even vaguely sense the direction of the attack.

This is no longer a question of induction, it's more like...precognition.

But now the situation is a bit complicated. As the car is moving at full speed, Seifer realizes that this place is a little bit unusual.

A railway track quietly stretched in front of the train after passing through the low hills. Seifer let the vehicle run onto the track without hesitation.

Tien raised an eyebrow and said nothing. The vehicle tilted slightly and pressed directly onto the track. This thing showed amazing toughness. Even though the body of the vehicle was extremely heavy, it was not crushed.

After all, it's something that can withstand being crushed by the doomsday train...but that's not the point.

The moment the car got on the track, the body of the car became stable. Even when the movement accelerated further, Sefer saw an incredible scene.

In the vast horizon covered by wind and snow, farther away from the leaden sky and thick white snow and frost, a huge black structure with a faint glow was silently staying there.

It's not that he didn't see it just now, but... it blends in with this snowy world. If it weren't for its too regular shape, like a semi-arc sphere, Sefer would even think it was a mountain.

But the mountain is already covered with ice and snow, so it can't be black...

There was no way to get a train, and even now there was no question of a train. Seifer asked Tien to follow the track and get as close to the black thing as possible, while he went straight up and climbed the ladder to the small cabin above the main control compartment.

Grasping the safety measures in the cabin, Seifer pressed the big red warning button, followed by a rapid alarm sound.

The armor plates above the head slowly unfolded, and wind and snow poured into the cabin, instantly lowering its temperature to the same level as the outside world.

Then, the cabin slowly rose with the help of various supports below. In Seifer's eyes, the car body grew from huge to a size that could see the entire outline clearly, and then became a size that was almost covered by the cabin where he was standing.

An essential feature of every vehicle is a lookout tower.

It was one thing for Cypher to not care about the light bullets projected from the other side blocked by the cliff, as well as those fine attacks that at most tickled the deck, but whether he could slow down the attacks was another.

At such a height, Cypher's field of vision immediately increased exponentially, except for the danger of being shot down by the enemy... but to be honest, being shot down would be outrageous.

Because the target of the lookout tower is always smaller than the vehicle body... I digressed. Seifer used his extraordinary eyesight (video zoom) to patrol the surroundings. Under his control, the main gun quickly turned its muzzle and faced the direction where the rocks were blocking the way.

Opened fire.

The blazing sound of the artillery even disturbed the nearby wind and snow, and the loud noise was shocking enough even from high in the sky.

Even more shocking was the point where the artillery fire landed—with the threat scanning and analysis of Cypher's body, all possible landing points of the artillery shells were taken into account.

It's like playing the bathtub blood pressure simulator and installing an illegal landing point plug-in.

The power of this combat system lies in its ability to predict as closely as possible where the shells will hit those moving targets.

Otherwise, how could he shoot as if he had automatic aim? He's not Tien, so he doesn't rely on super powers.

At this point, Cypher very subjectively called that guy's ability to foresee danger a superpower.

Far behind the mountain, the monster turrets that used it as cover could never have imagined that something other than the Doomsday Train could actually attack them.

Not only can it work, but it is also very accurate!

Since Lin Shenxue was sent to the gun position to act as a loader, the main gun's firing rate increased, so Seifer quickly used the main gun to destroy many armored units during the movement. The light bullets projected were also becoming sparse.

...Come to think of it, if a second person could be stationed in the loader's position, it would seem that the automatic loader would be faster.

But unfortunately there are not so many people now.

Shaking his head helplessly, Seifer directed the vehicle to continue moving forward with loud noises and roars. Less than a few minutes later, he suddenly saw something familiar in the wind and snow.

A train, a huge train, running on the track, with only survivors living inside.

It was ahead, and the people in the car had obviously seen this huge vehicle rushing towards them - they were terrified and were also firing in this direction.

Continuing to direct the main guns to fire, Cypher asked Laika over the comms: "Can you see the current situation in the vision?"

"Very clear, Red Crossbow. Wait a moment, I need to establish a reinforcement channel. You're experiencing quite a bit of intelligence exchange... Hmm, there should be some neutral units within the anomaly near you."

Every time I rushed in here before, Leica seemed to be gone.

While continuing to direct the bombardment, Seifer kept an eye on the remaining ammunition while slowly telling Laika about the train in front that was desperately moving forward.

After a brief explanation, she understood. "You can ignore the basic settings for now. Now you need to pay attention. In addition to the neutral unit, there are a lot of high-energy units on the left wing of your vehicle."

"Although there's currently no reaction on the right wing, there's a massive man-made unit further away, approximately...30 kilometers from your vehicle."

Seifer subconsciously looked to the right, but to be honest, he didn't see any man-made objects except the neat black arc on the horizon.

"underground!"

Then... the scale is so huge that it is terrifying.

There is no need to visually inspect it. A man-made structure hundreds of kilometers long is found in this kind of ice and snow... Since it is not something from the Doomsday Train, it can only be these hostile things.

The people in the car couldn't explain why such an overwhelming amount of monsters were rushing towards them. Similarly, they didn't understand why anything other than their car appeared.

The most intuitive operation of Leica's 'enhanced channel' is to allow Sefer to establish communication with the car.

But just like that, the guys in the car didn't receive any external signals at all - as if it were some kind of monster.

In order to avoid being broken by the car, Seifer could only follow from a distance, but this made Tien very unhappy.

I was able to adjust the speed freely before, but now it is restricted... wait, it seems that there are no light balls falling down.

She took a moment to join the conversation: "Well, you take out the firing point, and then we just crash into that car, how about that?"

"Anyway, they don't look like good guys, and they even fired at our car. We might as well make a quick buck!"

The last sentence is what this guy really means.

I don't have the intention to fight monsters, but I definitely have the intention to take advantage of the situation, and it's a big one.

In order to save the train temporarily (assuming the threat is not serious), Cypher plans to let her slow down a little more and let the train leave.

Anyway, the enemy is so huge, they're definitely going that way. There's no need to rob a car like this...

While trying to persuade him, Sefer heard a series of low, long calls like those made by whales in the sea.

Along with this muffled sound, all the artillery fire in the train ahead, and even the radio inside the car, were cut off at the same time.

But the car is still moving forward.
