Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 91 90. It’s like a young man encountering a humpback whale and rushing into it

Abnormal situations are not uncommon in visions. After realizing that the Doomsday Train in front did not respond, Sefer commanded the stronghold to move forward quickly.

Soon they caught up with the giant doomsday train—judging by the size of this stronghold, the train's carriages were still enormous.

But there was no sound from inside.

"Leica, what's going on with the people inside?"

"I'm still confirming... The red crossbows have a significant impact on the vehicle's shielding, but those near the window have vital signs and are stable."

This means that the people in the car 'fell asleep' instead of being killed instantly by the strange sound.

Sefer asked everyone in the car if anyone felt unwell, and everyone answered that they were fine and nothing serious.

Only affects the local people in the vision.

Silently noting this, Seifer continued to follow the train, but suddenly discovered that the front of the train had changed direction and was heading towards the other side of the plain.

Even after a brief follow, he clearly saw two forked railroad tracks, one of which quickly sank into the distant snowfield and extended to the horizon.

The other track, which is the track the train is currently traveling on, is heading towards the black arc in the distance.

If Cypher was willing to do this now, he would definitely raise it harshly. After all, it looked too scary - the train was rushing towards the enemy base with a car full of "last humans".

Or places like base camp, it's really a bit scary.

Tien's voice was filled with joy. "What have you figured out? Can we start now? This Jackdaw is already making moves, intending to fill its warehouses to the brim!"

"First of all, this mobile base isn't called the Jackdaw. Secondly, I'm not a pirate. Finally, does this give you a headache?"

"It hurts. My instinct, like a needle pricking me, tells me that if you don't do something, something terrible is going to come and kill us."

As she was shouting this, Cypher also sensed something.

Two machines, similar in shape to the ones that had departed from the train before, suddenly emerged from the wind and snow, heading straight for the mobile base!

"Red Crossbow, there are two machines heading towards you. Their power is unknown, but they are moving very fast—"

While speaking, Cypher had already commanded all the secondary guns to lock onto the two machines.

The roaring firepower included both 76mm secondary guns and more smaller caliber close-in defense guns with terrifying firing rates. Although only... four secondary guns were delivering firepower so far, this would force the two machines to evade.

The accumulated body heat continued to rise, and finally it was forced to land and glide slowly...

'boom! ’

The main gun fired a powerful shell with a deafening sound. At the moment when the two sides were extremely close, one of the machines had no ability to resist and even no time to dodge, and could only take the bombardment.

Then it turned into radiating fragments on the snowfield.

The other machine landed on the snowy field and instantly moved to an empty area that was out of the firing line's reach.

It was probably frightened by this unreasonable main gun... Although, Seifer doubted that it actually had no fear at all.

As the mobile base finally caught up with the train in front and even drove against it, Seifer was finally able to observe the defensive turrets full of guns and cannons up close.

But before that, the remaining machine seized a blind spot in the firepower (mainly because it was not equipped with automatic fire control) and approached the vehicle body.

Before it quickly passed over the car, Seifer untied the safety rope, kicked the guardrail without hesitation, and jumped!
"Red Crossbow, what are you doing—"

Laika's voice was a little distorted.

This was actually the right choice for Cypher... He calculated his descent just right, landing directly on the body of the machine.

The machine also noticed this and immediately adjusted its posture and fell to the ground. The huge shock did not throw Cypher off.

"To jump from the air onto a high-speed aircraft requires not the calculation to see the plane hurtling towards you, but the courage to jump from where you stand, Laika."

"What are you saying to show off...eh?"

From Laika's perspective, Cypher completely ignored the extremely low temperature around him and stubbornly fixed himself on the high-speed moving machine, which was impossible for an ordinary person to cling to by willpower or physical ability.

Even climbing up the frantically speeding machine to the head area, and then kicking! "Bang!"

A kick to the head caused the machine to stagger violently, and its weapons fired randomly, failing to hit anything.

At the same time, the weapons on the vehicle that had reached the firing range could finally be fired towards this side, without any worry about killing their own commander.

This was also Cypher's order... probably.

'Bang! '

One kick after another, each kick hitting the weak connection point, under the wide-eyed look of Laika, Cypher used his "mortal body" to kick open the head armor of the machine.

The last kick directly smashed the inside of its head into pieces.

But the head is only the location of the camera + computing module, and if it is damaged, it will not paralyze the entire body.

Seifer didn't care. He deliberately guided the machine towards the area where the firepower was concentrated, and finally made it crash into the armor of the train.

After jumping onto the roof of the train, the machine struggled for a while, and suddenly stopped as if the power was cut off. With a huge sound of metal twisting, it finally slid onto the snow and was rolled under the wheels.

There was a sharp noise and sparks from metal friction, mixed with the crackling sounds of ammunition exploding and other sounds, and the thing was completely silent.

Cypher stood on the roof of the car where the cold wind howled. "Are there any other attacks coming?"

During the communication, Laika's voice was quite tired: "For now... no more, but the warnings are all hostile reactions. Be careful, Red Crossbow."

Even Tien smiled with delight and wondered if she was watching some movie that went beyond common sense.

——After all, common sense suggests that independent mercenaries would not use their bodies to fight against machines as if they were committing suicide.

Cypher has accomplished the legendary achievement of 'disassembling a machine with bare hands'.

After this probing attack, the enemies on the mechanical monster side seemed to be stuck and did not send out anything else.

The group on the train also moved forward nervously against the doomsday train, slowly driving into the increasingly huge and towering building.

Seifer was on the top of the train, covered in frost and snow like clothes, and his torn protective suit rustled in the cold wind, like a hunter returning from hunting.

Then he figured out why no enemy continued to attack—strictly speaking, it wasn't that they didn't continue.

Instead, they had been waiting silently for orders for a long time, but some orders had not been issued, so the attack boxes that suddenly emerged from the ground did not take the next step.

On both sides of the train, on the black 'plain' that was so flat that it was frightening, without a trace of frost or snow to accumulate on the ground, stood huge boxes that stretched as far as the eye could see.

In such silence, the front end of the Doomsday Train slowly drove into the flat and wide artificial curved canyon.

Now that things have come to this, of course we can only follow up.

Seifer shook off the snowflakes on his body, ran quickly and jumped, landing easily on the gun mount in mid-air, and felt a shock under his feet.

...Then Tien quickly slowed down the train and moved the mobile base, which was almost turning the rear end of the train into an inward arc, away from the train for the time being.

The speed slowed down further and further, and as the track extended into the interior of the giant building, Sefer vaguely heard some strange sounds.

It wasn't the grunting sound of metal colliding, but rather the sounds of energy rising and then releasing pressure.

The train was in front and the stronghold was behind. After both sides slowly passed through a portal formed by a light, the train finally slowly stopped.

However, the parking spot is quite open, and in all directions and even above the head, there are the sky and boundaries that can make people feel "what a height this is" at a glance.

The feeling of countless machines and devices operating inside the building...

"It's a bit like we were eaten by some giant monster. It's a bit disgusting."

Tien said this pointedly.
