Chapter 158: Rushing to the Sky
Chapter 158: Rushing to the Sky
Woo! ! !
In the ascending track hall, four heavy train engines roared, pulling all the traction platforms to start slowly. The survivors of the convoy at the rear only felt the track below shake, and then began to move.
"How come we've already set off, but the Iron Guard Brigade's troops haven't withdrawn yet?!"
"What's going on? Are we leaving early?"
“It’s moving, it’s moving!”
"Oh, I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, we will definitely make it!"
"Mom, where are the soldiers?" A little girl who had just been rescued and put on the military train of the Iron Guard Brigade asked her mother.
"They..." The woman looked at the countless wounded and survivors on the train, her eyes reddened: "They will take other cars..."
"Really? They're going to come with us too?"
"Yes……"
……
Wow!
The powerful traction generated by the 62-kilowatt power burst pulled 2696 survivor vehicles of various types to accelerate madly, reaching a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour in a very short sprint distance. The train then entered the slowly rising track, the horizon gate sucked the track, and the engine continued to accelerate.
Everyone on the Infinity, Silver Star, Longshan No. 1, and Iron Guard Brigade trains felt the ground tilting instantly, the trains rising to a great angle, and unsecured objects in the carriages slid backwards one after another.
Soon, a few seconds later, all the trains entered a climbing channel with a higher elevation angle. The mechanical traction device rose and hooked the horizon gate under the train, starting the second-level acceleration!
boom! ! boom! !
Thousands of cars behind felt like they were being lifted off the ground in an instant, rushing towards the sky at an extremely high speed!
"what!!!"
Instantly, countless screams echoed throughout the entire climbing passage.
On the Infinity, everyone held on to the handrails tightly. Chen Sixuan closed her eyes, feeling the huge acceleration force of rising into the air, her heart pounding.
In the cockpit, KIKI and Lin Xian sat in the driving seats, looking extremely focused.
100 meters...
200 meters...
300 meters...
As the altitude rose rapidly, Lin Xian focused and shouted, "At 2000 meters, we will enter the third acceleration. If the horizon gate is overloaded, you will press the train onto the track!"
KIKI's eyes were full of solemnity at this time. She widened her eyes and kept exclaiming. When she heard Lin Xian's words, she immediately replied: "Okay!!"
On the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1, the scenes were completely different. The residents of each carriage on the Silver Star had made preparations in advance, fastened their seat belts, and were neatly arranged in unison, while on Longshan No. 1, there were screams and exclamations everywhere, and daily necessities in the carriages fell to the ground.
On the train of the Iron Guard Brigade, Bai Shuang stood in the cab, looking through the monitor at the huge passage behind that was getting deeper and deeper. She looked calm, with a strange firmness in her eyes, and there seemed to be a silent elegy and a raging fire flickering in her heart.
Bang bang bang! Da da da!
boom!
The high walls of the airport were filled with smoke, and countless metal jets sprayed towards the tide of corpses below. The 1130 close-in defense guns and electromagnetic rail guns sounded the wail of death. Above the sky, under the huge atmospheric mica, there were a dozen equally huge sky jellyfish floating, bringing a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Below the airport, overwhelming zombies began to rush over like a flood. At this time, a transport truck pulled a cylindrical weapon device covered with a curtain and drove over quickly. The soldiers lifted the curtain, and the cylindrical weapon device slowly lit up and opened. A silver missile several meters high slowly rose up, and the yellow nuclear symbol on it made people feel a sense of peace at first glance.
Zhang Dingzhong came over and said with a heroic look on his face: "Fighting and fleeing all the way, I have been wanting to use this thing for a long time. It's a good opportunity for us to see what kind of monster that corpse driver is!"
"Hey, it must be a pleasure to cremate them for free!" Adjutant Ma Xiaotang also joked.
"Haha! That means we have to blow a hole in this fishing net, right brothers?!"
"Correct!"
Bang! A tall patrol mecha stopped, and Zhan Wei walked down from it. He looked at the small nuclear weapon in front of him with a surprised expression: "Wow, this one must be powerful enough."
Zhang Dingzhong looked at him: "Zhan Wei, can you still stand steadily?"
Zhan Wei smiled resolutely and stood at attention: "Report to the old leader, stand firm!"
After saying that, he hesitated, looked at Zhang Dingzhong proudly and said, "Old Chief, it is the greatest honor of my life that Zhan Wei can fight with you until the last moment!"
Zhang Dingzhong paused, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation.
"Good boy, you are worthy of being a soldier I once led."
Woo! Wow!
A pleasant sound was heard, and many soldiers of the Iron Guard Brigade turned around and watched the several-kilometer-long traction convoy on the track begin to rush up the climbing track. The air vibrated and the sound was deafening.
"Look! They're coming up!"
Adjutant Ma Xiaotang looked at this scene and shouted excitedly.
Countless soldiers of the Iron Guard Brigade looked towards the track leading to the clouds, their eyes full of anticipation and eagerness. At this moment, the train chains that kept climbing up were like the results of their courageous protection, extremely precious.
At this time, several vehicles of the survivors suddenly turned on their yellow double flash lights. The lights seemed to produce some kind of resonance, and more and more survivors' convoys turned on their double flash lights tacitly.
Soon, thousands of cars flashed yellow lights and rushed up to the sky along the climbing channel like four golden light chains, as if to illuminate the entire night sky!
Looking at this scene, Zhang Dingzhong smiled faintly.
"He's cheering us on, brothers, don't show your fear!"
"Yes!" The defense line built by the Iron Guard Brigade and the Guard Regiment roared to the sky!
……
Woo!
At this time, on the climbing channel, the four trains were approaching 2000 meters and entering the third acceleration.
Four kilometers long chains of cars continued to rise, and the passage roared. "Prepare to enter the third acceleration!"
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Soon, the four trains were equipped with high-speed traction devices almost at the same time, the engines roared, and began the third acceleration!
Woo~!!
"Speed up!" Lin Xian looked at the status meter of the Horizon gateway and began to increase the power of the Gemini 11R nuclear-powered electric locomotive to the maximum!
At this moment, a dazzling blue light suddenly began to flash in the core of the atmospheric mica above the sky of the port, and then there was a loud bang, and an invisible electromagnetic pulse vibrated in the shape of a radiation shock!
hum!
In an instant, all the lights in the corridor flashed, sparks flew, the electromagnetic railguns at the airport were all shut down, the lights in the four trains also went out instantly, and the system shut down!
The people in the train only felt a black screen before their eyes, and the drive motor made a low whimpering sound and slowly stopped.
"Oh no! EMP! The engine is shutting down!"
In the cockpit of the rapidly ascending Longshan No. 1, Steve's eyes were bloodshot and he sat up in shock.
"Restart the system quickly. We can't lose the initial velocity!"
Inside the Silver Star, Jian Zeyang's face turned pale and he immediately yelled at the train engineer.
"How long will it take?!" Jian Xuwei's sharp voice came.
"10 seconds!" the engineer shouted in panic.
"It's too late. With so much initial velocity lost, the Horizon Gateway won't be able to catch it!" Jian Zeyang frantically shouted to Jian Xuwei, "Sister, we must unhook! Otherwise, everyone will fall!"
Uh...
The four trains that were rising strongly suddenly began to slow down. On the Iron Guard Brigade transport train, Bai Shuang's face changed drastically: "How could this happen!?"
"It must be that atmospheric mica!" Wei Kexue's face turned pale at this time. Looking at the sudden decrease in speed, he exclaimed: "It's over, it's going to fall."
The most worrying situation happened!
At this moment, the hearts of tens of thousands of survivors who were climbing up suddenly turned cold.
"Oh no, why did it stop..."
"Are we going to fall?!"
"Oh my god..."
"It's over, it's over."
On the Silver Star, Jian Xuwei looked at the countdown for the system restart with a gloomy face. Just as she was about to pick up the communicator to notify the train to uncouple, the communicator rang first.
"All trains, do not decouple!"
Dangdang Dangdang!
Lin Xian's voice suddenly came from the communicator. The next moment, three crisp metallic sounds were heard, and several traction cables were suddenly connected to the mechanical traction devices of the other three trains. Then, under the extremely surprised gazes of Jian Xuwei, Jian Zeyang, Shi Diyuan, Bai Shuang and Wei Kexue, a black heavy train burst into a surging roar of the internal combustion engine, forcibly pulling the deceleration momentum of the other three trains, and rushed past all the trains!
"Run it for me!"
On the Infinity, Lin Xian's eyes were red, the mechanical heart was running wildly, the ten-cylinder gas engine of the Giant Whale 03E roared, and the power turbine ran violently, burning the last glory of the internal combustion engine, pulling three trains and 2696 cars on the climbing track, moving forward against the trend!
On the other side, KIKI's hair was flying and she was clenching her teeth. She used her telekinesis to press the entire train hard onto the track, while also giving the train an upward boost.
call!
In the high-altitude climbing channel, an upward airflow also suddenly rose!
Jiang Yu sat in the off-road vehicle at the back, using all his strength to use his wind-based abilities.
Rub rub rub rub! !
The power turbine of the Giant Whale 03E made a surging roar, and the carriage of the "Infinity" also emitted a steel-tearing vibration!
"withstand!"
Lin Xian only felt the blood boiling at this moment. He knew that it was impossible to hold these three trains with the Infinity alone. All he could do was to give the other trains some breathing time to restart their engines!
Chi! !
Under the explosive power output of the Infinity, the rapidly decreasing initial velocity was miraculously curbed for a short time!
Jian Xuwei's chest was heaving at this time. She watched the high-voltage threshold of the Horizon gateway on the display screen soar to 28%. 10 seconds seemed to have passed for several hours. Her heart was pounding at the moment, and the train finally completed the engine restart!
Woo! ! ! !
The Eternal-class train Silver Star began to output violent power and accelerated again. The other Iron Guard Brigade trains and Longshan No. 1 also exerted force at the same time.
Speed up again!
"Stable?!" Bai Shuang and Wei Kexue were stunned.
"Unbelievable!" Shi Diyuan was covered in cold sweat.
"Sprint with all your strength!" Jian Xuwei gave the order softly!
3000 meters!
4000 meters!
The rising air pressure made almost everyone's eardrums hurt, and the roaring passage made them feel dizzy. Under the huge drag force, the four trains finally rushed onto the high-altitude corridor.
As the terrain suddenly flattened, a huge aerial tunnel appeared in everyone's sight, stretching straight forward with no end in sight.
“Successful, we made it!!!”
As all the rear traction platforms entered the sky corridor, countless people began to cheer.
"Oh my god, we've entered the sky corridor!"
"Success, success!"
"Survived..."
