Chapter 156 Resistance
Chapter 156 Resistance (1.5 plus, thank you Ni Lanxuan for being the real leader)
As a heavily-armored combined brigade of the interstellar army, the 52nd Iron Guard Brigade possesses very powerful combat capabilities. However, under the pressure of the giant in the sky, the pouring firepower was like hitting a towering mountain, making people feel powerless.
Buzz~!
A huge and resounding sound resounded from the sky, the clouds dispersed, and the air shook violently.
The towering atmospheric mica gradually revealed the edge of its majestic umbrella from the clouds and slowly moved towards the front of the airport.
The pilot of the Warhawk gunship looked at the huge silhouette in the darkness, sweating profusely, and gritted his teeth.
"The target's attention has been successfully captured, all flying units retreat!"
boom!
A dazzling blue light from the electromagnetic railgun flashed outside the cockpit, and at the same time the radar began to issue crazy warnings.
"An unknown organism has been detected approaching. An unknown organism has been detected approaching!"
Woo! ! !
The pilot was frantically raising the altitude at this moment, the engine of the War Eagle aerial gunship roared, but before it could change direction, a huge tentacle fell from the sky!
Bang!
At some point, a sky mica appeared in the fog in the rear airspace, swimming at an extremely fast speed. Its tentacles swept across, and the close-in defense guns on the airship fired wildly for a few seconds, and then it was completely blown up the next moment.
The airship exploded with a huge explosion, and flames lit up the sky.
"Warhawk 03 crashed, Warhawk 03 crashed!"
"Activate air situational awareness and take emergency precautions!"
“In the back!!”
Da da da! !
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Four dazzling electromagnetic cannons blasted towards the sky, smashing several black-winged monsters, but more flying monsters began to swoop down from the clouds.
Following the earthquake just now, all the zombies seemed to become more violent.
"General, the air fleet has suffered heavy losses, and Area D is about to be lost!"
On the high wall, deputy Ma Xiaotang's face was covered in blood, and he was already blood-thirsty.
"How's Bai Shuang doing?"
"It's not fully loaded yet. There are too many people."
Zhang Dingzhong turned around and saw that most of the survivors' vehicles in the square had already driven into the ascending orbit hall. Only dead soldiers and bodies of survivors were left on the ground. The blizzard was howling, and red blood and white snow were mixed together, which was extremely tragic.
He looked at the swarm of corpses pouring into the city and said with a sullen face, "These monsters are like crazy."
"Yeah, I don't know why..." Ma Xiaotang said hurriedly, "Those monsters seem to know that we are going to evacuate. Every time we speed up, they will become more crazy. No matter if they are in the sky or underground, they are all coming!"
"It's strange, can the zombies and those bugs guess our plan?" another sergeant also said.
"It's the same in Fengcheng, Chong'an, and Xinglong. Every time our troops move in on a large scale, we encounter even larger-scale attacks. It's fucking weird."
Zhang Dingzhong's face showed sharpness: "The more anxious the enemy is, the more they want to slaughter us, which means our resistance is more meaningful."
……
At this time in the ascending track hall, the traction cables of the four trains have been connected, and only a small number of vehicles are still being loaded and unloaded.
Inside the Silver Star's senior management carriage, a dozen well-dressed people were holding an intense meeting.
"The engineering team has pre-checked the working condition of the horizon gate in advance. I have a suggestion. If the system detects an abnormality in the gate and mechanical traction device during the climb, we must immediately disconnect the traction cable at the rear to ensure the safety of all personnel on the vehicle!"
A middle-aged man with a noble face spoke.
"I second the motion."
"Agree."
Jian Zeyang also raised his hand at this time, looking at Jian Xuwei who was in the front and had the decision-making power: "Sister, we have done what we should do. If there is a problem, it means that there is something wrong with this plan. I think it is completely reasonable for us to adopt an emergency hedging method."
Jian Xuwei said nothing at this time, her expression slightly tense: "I just discussed this issue with Captain Lin of the Infinity, and he gave me a suggestion. If the high-voltage threshold of the gateway does not exceed 30%, do not disconnect the traction cable."
"30%?!!"
"It's too risky. I think a maximum of 15% is dangerous."
"Yes."
Everyone was talking about it. Jian Zeyang frowned and said angrily, "He proposed it? What right did he have to propose it? Of the four trains, their "Infinity" has the least load, and their train configuration is simply a disaster. The most powerful twin is placed at the end, and the broken gas turbine in the front is useless now. That kind of thing should have been eliminated by the times long ago! ! "
"Chairman, I don't think we can take risks like this at this time. It's their business if they want to fight..."
"Yeah, this is too risky."
Many senior members of the board of directors expressed their opposition at this time.
Jian Xuwei glanced at everyone calmly: "Your concerns are very reasonable. In this case, we will arrange a special air defense team on the Silver Star to contain the monster in the sky and buy some time for the Silver Star to enter the high-altitude corridor. Who is willing to take on the glorious mission of being the leader of this air defense team?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room suddenly became quiet. People looked at each other, some swallowed their saliva, some stared, and when they saw Jian Xuwei's gaze sweeping over them, they all avoided it.
"Zeyang."
Jian Xuwei looked at Jian Zeyang at this time, and the latter's expression froze immediately.
"Do you know what the Finger Group relies on to develop to this day?"
Jian Zeyang opened his mouth and avoided Jian Xuwei's gaze.
Jian Xuwei smiled coldly, stood up and slowly walked past the board members with a stern look in her eyes.
"It depends on continuous progress and the 4000 Finger employees around the world. A company that maintains its foundation will not last forever. The development of human civilization stems from the exploration of courage. Where there is success, there will be failure. Where there is progress, there will be sacrifice. The traction cable behind our train carries lives. It is an adventure that we have to bear in exchange for the sacrifice of a large number of Iron Guards soldiers outside. Since it is an adventure, we need to break the routine and challenge our courage."
"Someone has taken the courage to do this for you. Don't feel ashamed. It is enough to do what we can."
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere became quiet.
"Notify the engineering team." Jian Xuwei walked elegantly towards the front of the train in her high heels. "The disconnection procedure of the rear traction cable must be authorized by me personally!"
On the other side, the emergency team was loading and unloading the last few sets of cars on the towing platforms.
A large number of lost and wounded personnel were also transferred to the Iron Guard Brigade's intercontinental train.
"Team Leader Bai, it should be almost done." Wei Kexue quickly operated on the computer: "The engines of the four trains are now being tested, and the passage has been cleared. The airport radar shows that the atmospheric jellyfish is leaving the top of the air corridor."
Bai Shuang nodded: "Notify each convoy and team member to check the personnel on board, and set off immediately after the Iron Guard Brigade and the Guard Regiment withdraw!"
Boom boom boom!
Outside the ascending orbit hall, fierce resistance was still going on, and the sound of artillery fire shook the air. At this time, in the hall, all the survivor convoys had already driven onto the towing platform.
Feelings of fear and tension continued to spread among the crowd.
Shu Qin, who was sitting in the off-road vehicle, looked at the long convoy and the train, as well as the straight upward climbing passage in front of him, with an extremely solemn expression. Lao Mo, Xu Jin and others were also extremely nervous at this time.
All the trains were ready to go. Many survivors of the trains and cars leaned on the windows, looking at the endless lines of vehicles that looked like an army of ants. Their eyes widened and their heartbeats quickened.
On "Infinity".
Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan stood in the cockpit, looking at the high-altitude passage rising into the sky in front of them, their expressions extremely anxious.
"Are you leaving?"
"Wait for the dispatch from the emergency team."
"It seems that the Iron Guards haven't withdrawn yet..."
Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly. "The intercontinental train of the Iron Guard Brigade is delayed to the end to make it easier for them to evacuate and board the train."
"With so many people, it should be much safer if we get to Jiazhou City."
Lin Xian replied, "I don't think so. Jiazhou City is a big city like Yubei. Even if it's not as crowded as here in the polar night, it's not much better. We may have to avoid big cities in the future."
Such a large-scale attack by strange entities was no less shocking than the one brought to Lin Xian by the Day of Apocalypse. This made him realize that the strange entities in the night seemed to really have some kind of consciousness and were attacking the human group.
The words of Lao Mo and Wei Kexue also gave him certain reminders. If he followed the original route, even if he reached the ocean track without any problems, he still had to consider the subsequent train drive issues. If he moved to land, he would have to upgrade the train's all-terrain mobility. If he ventured onto the ocean track, he would have to consider more, otherwise the situation would be even more severe when facing the endless ocean in the darkness.
Chen Sixuan looked at him and said, "Yeah, no one expected the situation in Yubei to be so serious."
Lin Xian's eyes were solemn. "But if we want to upgrade the train drive system, we can either take the Northeast Line after Jiazhou to catch up with the Phoenix Society's Dawn Center, or follow the original plan to take the Ring Star Line to Star City. However, the old federal government may not welcome us."
