Chapter 278: Above the Sky (1 hits! Please give me a monthly pass at the end of the month!)
August 8th, Apocalypse Day D30, there is still 93 day before the great transfer of Xilan City.

A snowstorm howled throughout the city, the temperature dropped to minus 60 degrees Celsius, everything was white, ice hung from the pillars of the buildings, and the streets were covered with flying snow.

Near the Central Avenue, there was a dense flow of vehicles moving around, and countless survivors had heavy faces. The voices of regional commands were constantly heard throughout the city on public and convoy frequency bands.

Countless noisy voices are combined into two words.

Transfer, guard.

These two simple words made tens of thousands of people feel a sense of oppression before a storm. The earthquake and attack before dawn completely broke the peace in the city.

Everyone knows that Xilan City is no longer safe, and what awaits them is a mountain of heavy battles and unknown deaths.

"Where are we moving to?"

"I don't know. Just follow the arrangements. There's no point in asking."

"It's over, it's over. Can we wait until we can evacuate? I heard that a large strange entity appeared in the city, and the Phoenix Society couldn't react."

"Shut up and stop talking nonsense."

"The cars behind are following closely."

"Stay away from tall buildings, stay away from tall buildings, and be careful where you park."

"Inform everyone to clear snow from vehicles every hour. Don't slack off!"

In the snow-covered streets, the huge convoy of vehicles was blocked tightly and was diverted to different areas under the command of the Phoenix Order.

In the driving queue, the sharply dropped temperature and the heavy snow and wind almost completely blocked the vision. Even with the wipers of all the vehicles turned to the maximum, it was of no avail. The windows protected by the grille armor had long been covered with condensed ice. Even though the heater in the car had been turned to the limit, the drivers' hands and feet were still frozen red.

"I heard that some convoys evacuated the city early at daybreak."

"Who cares? In this kind of weather, if we don't follow the main group, we'll be dying. We'll have a better chance of survival if we follow the Phoenix Society."

"What if the Phoenix Society can't hold on?"

"Crow's Mouth, if the Order of Phoenix can't hold on, do we still have a chance to survive, or do you have a better option?"

"A carload of people froze to death in Sun Park. It was said that the heater suddenly failed last night."

"Heater, heating supplies exchange!"

"There are vehicles that have frozen and are stranded on Tongzhou Road. We have to take a detour so the maintenance team can't get in!"

"..."

Within the various frequency bands of the communicators, communications between the various convoys continued, filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

To the east of the city, the Arctic Wind Alliance led a large force of more than a thousand vehicles and began to disperse and move, mainly gathering in the East City Park, the Capital Commercial Plaza, and the banks of the Baiyu River. This side was close to the camp of the 2nd Regiment of the th Survey Corps, and there were a large number of people. All kinds of heavy firepower ammunition were continuously transported to the east city's anti-monster front.

Towards the south of the city, there were the most convoys, and it was impossible to move them as a whole. So, under the command of the Phoenix Order, they began to disperse and move to streets with lower building density. The playgrounds of some schools became the main gathering areas.

Most of the areas in the north of the city are dozens of doomsday trains parked at the rail passenger station, as well as the joint fleet of Qian Dele, Zhou Li and others from the original Ice Valley Defense Front, including Monica's "Queen Mo". Their firepower is very strong. In addition, because the air combat formation is parked at the north city airport, the space is relatively open.

The freight track platform where the Infinity and Longshan No. 1 are located is at the foot of Fenglan Mountain in the west of the city. This was originally the mining area of ​​the Xilan Mining Group. Most of the residences are basically factory dormitories. The terrain is relatively open. Affected by Fenglan Mountain, the wind and snow are relatively small. However, because it is the farthest from the city and the main street evacuation direction, the number of convoys that choose to stop here is the least. Apart from these two trains, there are only a few small convoy camps stationed here.

The advantage of a train tour is that once everyone gets on the train, they are ready and can set off at any time.

People were busy in the carriages of Longshan No. 1. After coming back, Shi Diyuan arranged for the entire car to be ready for battle. Today's original free activities had been cancelled, and the nerves inside the carriage began to tense.

Because of the drop in temperature, the train's heating system is running at full capacity, and white mist continues to rise from the connections between the carriages.

After the ability test and the inspection of the Queen Mo, Shi Diyuan also made a series of major adjustments to the defense deployment of Longshan No. 1. At the same time, the heavy weapons and anti-aircraft guns obtained were also equipped by the engineering team. Longshan No. 1 did not have the free modification ability of Infinity. These anti-aircraft guns were only installed on the weapon station on the roof. All the ammunition supply was solved by manpower, and the firing was also carried out by the personnel in each carriage.

On the Infinity side, Chen Sixuan and Shasha were sitting in front of the information center, paying attention to the developments. There were communicators and the Red Phoenix Order on the table. At this time, Lin Xian, KIKI, Huo Ge, Dalou, Shuqin and other important combat forces in the car were resting. After being busy all night last night, Chen Sixuan did not expect the situation to suddenly become so tense. In order to deal with the darkness that would come in a few hours, Lin Xian arranged for all the combat forces to take advantage of the daybreak to recover their energy.

In the back of the car, Miao Lu, Lu Chang, Xiao Yuan and others were sorting out the parts that Lin Xian had made last night for future use.

"Hey, Captain Lin said yesterday that everyone could relax today and have free time." Miao Lu sighed, looking regretful.

"Forget it. Fortunately, no major problems have occurred yet. Captain Lin and the others can take a break. Otherwise, if everyone is busy all night and then encounters an attack, it would be really a disaster." Lu Chang said.

"How could that be?" Miao Lu glanced at him while busying herself with her hands and said, "It's daytime now, okay?"

"It's only a few hours." Lu Chang said in a deep voice: "Captain Lin has been very cautious and has not relaxed for a moment. He has not rested for two consecutive nights and finally finished the outer armor."

"Yeah~ I feel tired just thinking about it." Miao Lu said softly.

The little round girl who was silently picking up parts at the side had a worried look on her face and whispered, "Is Captain Lin exhausted?"

Miao Lu curled her lips when she heard this: "I don't know. Anyway, I haven't seen Captain Lin take a break since we got on the bus."

Xiaoyuan raised her head and looked at the front of the carriage, her eyes flickering slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking.

The entire Xilan City was in a state of panic. At the same time, there were still many convoys of survivors who broke through the wind and snow and escaped from the clutches of the snow demon and successfully arrived in Xilan City. Under the cover of the city defense front line, they entered the city and got a respite.

Drop drop, drop drop.

When the alarm clock sounded, Lin Xian woke up immediately and checked the time.
15: 00.

After sleeping for three hours, the heaviness in his head was relieved a lot. He got up immediately, and his mechanical heart started working. He felt that his energy had been restored a lot. At the same time, the train was running smoothly, which meant that nothing happened during his three hours of rest.

Lin Xian got up feeling a little dizzy and put on his cold-proof clothes and power armor. He planned to build another 5 on carriage No. 1130 as a firepower network before dark. Now that his mechanical manufacturing level has been upgraded to level 5, he estimated that he could finish this big guy in two or three hours, and he could also spare some time to get some bullets.

He probably doesn't have time to work on the fully automatic bullet punching machine, so he should focus on the key things first. If he can get through tonight, he will also give priority to the electromagnetic cannon and power armor.

After all the calculations, time is really limited.

bang.

After opening the door of the cabin, Lin Xian saw a bowl of pear soup on the workbench next to him. He reached out to touch it and found that it was cold.

However, he was tired and thirsty at the moment and didn't care about so much. He just picked up the bottle and drank it in a few big gulps. The cool and refreshing feeling made him shiver uncontrollably, and he felt much more energetic.

Immediately, Lin Xian walked quickly towards the back of the car, ready to make weapons.

At this time, Chen Sixuan's voice came from the communicator.

"Lin Xian, are you awake?"

"Well, where are you?"

"Someone's here on the platform. It's Uncle Wu and his friends!"

Lin Xian stopped walking when he heard that, turned around, opened the car door and walked out.

Walking out of the 'assembly workshop', the empty train platform between Longshan No. 1 and Infinity was now densely packed with hundreds of vehicles, most of which were large vehicles. However, as soon as Lin Xian saw those military heavy trucks and doomsday vehicles converted from engineering vehicles, he knew that they were vehicles of the Daying Team and the Pao Ben Yuan Camp. In addition, there was also a strange team of snow heavy base vehicles.

"Captain Lin!!"

In the snow, a young man in a thick down jacket shouted at him loudly. Lin Xian looked and found that it was Luo Yang from the chasing Japanese convoy.

"Captain Lin." At the same time, familiar faces such as Wu Zhenhai, Liao Ming, Liang Lei, and Li Yi also greeted him eagerly. A group of people gathered together eagerly, while Chen Sixuan and Shu Qin stood aside and communicated with them.

Lin Xian looked surprised and walked over and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Just an hour ago."

Wu Zhenhai looked exhausted, with white frost on his beard. "We asked for your location as soon as we entered the city, and rushed over right away."

"Haha, there are too many people in the city. We can only find old acquaintances to hang out with first." Liao Ming, who was wearing a thick hat and breathing out cold air, said.

"Captain Lin, we heard something happened in the city when we first arrived. Do we have to evacuate soon?" Li Yi stood in the snow with her big belly, her cheeks red from the cold, as she looked at Lin Xian.

The big man Liang Lei stood behind her, using his broad chest to shield her from the cold wind.

Luo Yang and several young men gathered around Lin Xian with eager expressions. It was obvious that it was not easy for this group of people to rush here from the snowstorm.

Lin Xian looked at everyone with a hint of joy, and then said, "It shouldn't be, it's just not as safe as before. The whole city is on alert now."

"By the way, little brother, let me introduce you."

Uncle Wu pointed to a middle-aged man with stubble in the crowd and said, "Captain of the North Wind Survivors Alliance, Shen Yao."

"Hello, Captain Lin."

Shen Yao spoke in a firm voice, and there were many people following him. After hearing Wu Zhenhai's introduction, he immediately stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Xian: "We came here from Xilin. Uncle Wu and I have known each other for many years. You can trust him and me. There are many people in my team, and we will follow your arrangements."

"What is the relationship between the North Wind Alliance and the Arctic Wind Alliance?" Lin Xian was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Shen Yao smiled broadly: "It's just that the name is a bit similar, but our alliance is not as big as theirs. It is a group of caravans that came through the Dazhu Plateau and united together."

"Their convoys all came from the west through the mountains. They encountered a lot of troubles just like us, but luckily they were safe." Chen Sixuan said at this time: "I just told them about the situation in the city in the past two days, but the ability test should be..."

"It's still ongoing." Lin Xian nodded and said to them, "Night Walker hasn't stopped testing his abilities. You still have time to go over there now."

Although the city was attacked and all parties were on edge, the supernatural power testing in Michel Square was still ongoing, including at the various support points of the Phoenix Order. This was done firstly for the survivors who had just entered the city, and secondly to ensure the normal support services for the various convoys in the city.

Wu Zhenhai, Liao Ming and others' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they immediately said, "I heard that there are a lot of supplies to be collected, as well as weapons and ammunition, so let's go there before it gets dark."

Luo Yang, Li Yi, Liang Lei and others also nodded in agreement.

Lin Xian instructed them: "Those with special abilities and genetic evolution, as long as they have good abilities, please go more and get as much as you can. I will help you look after the convoy."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Captain Lin."

"Thank you very much."

Shen Yao of the North Wind Alliance said to Lin Xian gratefully at this time: "Thank you brother, I will take people there right away."

"Thank you, Captain Lin." Luo Yang and several young men also came up excitedly. There were not many of them, but many of them were psychics and genetic evolvers, so they could get a lot of supplies. The most important thing was that these people, like Lin Xian, attached more importance to learning information about psychics.

"Go ahead, the information about the Order of Phoenix and the manual on supernatural powers are very useful." Lin Xian said.

"Okay, okay, hurry up everyone!"

Having said that, the leaders of several caravans immediately called on their teams to start moving out.

Not only can one gain a lot of experience and guidance from the superpower test, but one can also obtain generous rewards from the Phoenix Society. This kind of opportunity will be gone if one misses it, so before it gets dark, Lin Xian asked the people in these convoys to do the superpower test first, as he was still busy making weapons.

The arrival of the Daying convoys made Lin Xian feel inexplicably at ease. They had fought side by side before and trusted each other. This feeling was even stronger than when he met Shuqin and the others again. The vast snowstorm made people despair, but the fact that these convoys were able to reunite with him alive gave Lin Xian more hope in a sense.

Watching everyone getting ready to leave, Lin Xian also said to Chen Sixuan and Shuqin: "Let's hurry up, Teacher Chen, you take a break, Shuqin, you and the building, help me prepare the ammunition."

"Yeah." Chen Sixuan nodded.

Lin Xian and his companions returned to the car. After a short rest, the atmosphere in the car was much less tired. However, knowing that a crisis was approaching, the members of Infinity no longer had the relaxed and comfortable mood of yesterday. All of them had a solemn look on their faces and began to make preparations under Lin Xian's arrangement.

The overall composite armor on the left and right sides of the Infinity has been fully installed. Lin Xian also asked the building staff to conduct a detailed inspection of the entire vehicle, including the Wyvern-class traction train at the rear.

With the design blueprint of the Evangelion Unit-01's armor, the armor produced is completely different from ordinary steel plate grilles. The Infinity now looks like a silver-black sci-fi chariot.

In addition, Lin Xian installed arc pulse string vibrators on both sides of each carriage. Although such dense installation would put a huge load on the power system if used on the entire vehicle at the same time, for safety reasons, Lin Xian did not miss any. This is also the reason why he upgraded the integrated power system. With full vehicle drive, heating, electricity and water supply, plus electric blade armor, arc pulse string vibrators and orbital electromagnetic cannons, the Infinity's power demand has reached a very high load, and it will not work at all without modification and upgrading.

Then there are the weapon stations on the roof. Carriages 12 and 5 are equipped with an 1130 close-in defense gun, while car 2 is equipped with a G3-electromagnetic railgun. At the same time, five YJ-5 anti-aircraft guns are also deployed throughout the train. After adjusting the firing range, this type of anti-aircraft gun can not only shoot monsters in the sky, but also can be laid flat and fired at the ground.

Carriage No. 11 has been completely transformed into a functional carriage. Lin Xian has already used the previous several vehicles for transportation as materials, as they are completely useless in this icy and snowy environment. Therefore, carriage No. 11 has almost become an automated mechanical carriage. The roof can be fully opened, and the 6-axis robotic arm can lift the Vulcan mecha in the mecha cabin into battle within 20 seconds. Normally, the mecha can also be disassembled, weapons added, ammunition replenished, and charging and maintenance performed.

Lin Xian plans to install all the mechas here if there are more in the future, turning it into a mecha loading compartment.

As for the two PX-05 robots, one is fixed in the Wynn-class train at the rear for maintenance and remote control work, while the other is still in carriages 12 and 11, occasionally needing to perform work outside the carriages.

This kind of engineering maintenance robot is very useful to Lin Xian. Not only does it have a Hall flight engine and can perform various precision welding, maintenance and other engineering tasks, it also has a strong ability to adapt to the environment and is durable. Lin Xian had neglected it before and only used it to maintain 1130 and replenish the ammunition chain. He plans to make more in the future. As long as he makes some modifications to the robot's tool accessories with his mechanical manufacturing capabilities and adds KIKI's new modules, it will be able to adapt to more work.

Those large weapon stations and external vehicle work can be completely handed over to robots, which is much safer for the passengers on the vehicle.

Finally, there is the Infinity's information system. The upgraded Sentinel system has a 360-degree full-vehicle inspection. The search radar on the roof and the active phased array on the front of the vehicle are combined together and are specially prepared by Lin Xian to deal with large-scale monster tides. They can quickly scan and capture the target situation. The only drawback is that the computing system on the vehicle cannot keep up and does not have strong AI computing power and intelligence. Otherwise, it can be completely handed over to AI for calculation and control to provide precise firepower coverage for the monster tide firepower.

The figures in the car were busy. Sasha had already loaded the weapons of the Sally. The Vulcan mecha now had a domineering yet cute and weird paint job. The chest armor read "Sally", the left arm read "Kill All Around", and the right arm read "Leave No Armor Left". It was hard to imagine the mental state of a 12-year-old girl when she was painting.

"Lin Xian, what do you think the purpose of that giant bug is? Why did it suddenly attack the experimental building?"

In carriage No. 12, Lin Xian was urgently manufacturing ammunition and transporting it to various carriages. KIKI was replacing the control module of the PX-05 robot on the side and couldn't help but ask.

"The most likely one is the Hell Black Chrysanthemum." Lin Xian said, "But this doesn't make sense. The Hell Black Chrysanthemum has been in our car for so long, it's impossible that it was targeted only after it was taken to the research team."

Lin Xian also thought that it might be related to the shielding power of the Heterogeneous Cube, but it was a bit far-fetched. When Hell Black Chrysanthemum was brought out of Dungeon No. 9, there was no Heterogeneous Cube in the car.

However, Ding Junyi also mentioned to him the invasion of pseudo-humans in Yu Town. Lin Xian felt that the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, or the disaster plant, should have a special influence on the strange entities.

However, Lin Xian believed that the abyss worms' sudden attack on Central Street this time was far more than just a disaster plant.

KIKI looked at Lin Xian, frowned and muttered: "Could it be that the monster is really afraid that we will discover the dark mark? This sounds..."

"Whatever it is, Manager Zhao is right."

The handful of 7.62mm bullets in Lin Xian's hand kept shaping and falling into the ammunition box, making crisp clinking sounds.

"The aviation combat formation at the north airport, the base camp of the survey corps in the east, the weapons depot, and tens of thousands of survivors gathered on the central street. But a bug just happened to find its way to the laboratory."

"That means there must be something more important here than the aviation combat formation, weapons depot, and survivors."

Thinking of this, Lin Xian pressed the communicator and tried to contact Ding Junyi.

"Kaka~"

"Lin Xian, I'm here." Soon, Director Ding's voice came from the communicator, accompanied by the sound of busy discussions in the laboratory.

Currently, the scientific research team has been relocated to Xilan Gymnasium as a whole. For safety reasons, this news is only known by the Phoenix Club and several Phoenix Order teams.

"21st attack test, changing the observation target..."

"Keep the light on, the detector is self-checking."

"Professor Ding, please come over here..." Lin Xian took a deep breath and asked, "What's the situation?"

"There is no result from the group observation experiment yet. The disaster plants have not responded at all. We will conduct the final test immediately. The Phoenix Special Operations Team and Night Walkers have already sent people to prepare for field testing." Ding Junyi's voice sounded calm.

Lin Xian frowned when he heard this. Group test failed?

What's going on? When these snow monsters appeared before, the Hell Black Chrysanthemum would show a red light reaction, and even if it was very weak, it could be observed. When we were in Mount Uliyastai, the dangerous scene of the tide of snow monsters that upgraded the Dark Mark to level 4 was still vivid in my mind, but the current situation is really too weird...

17:40, 40 minutes left until dark.

The temporary camp of the scientific research team in Xilan Gymnasium was surrounded by three layers of soldiers from the Survey Corps. High-sensitivity seismic survey instruments were turned on in all directions, and the sky radar was spinning wildly. Spark Night Walker Jingtian and Xiao He of the Survey Corps were guarding the surroundings with their men at all times.

In the camp laboratory, the snow demon captured in a special alloy cage was placed in a dark room without light, screaming constantly. The scientific research team divided the demon into more than a dozen batches for control experiments. Ding Junyi was accompanied by an assistant, who kept shuttling between various observation laboratories with the Hell Black Chrysanthemum in his hand.

"It still doesn't work, it still doesn't work!!!"

Wei Kexue was about to collapse. He was exhausted but also struggling and irritable, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

After calming down, he quickly pressed the communicator to contact Guo Sicheng who was lying in the infirmary.

"Teacher, I found the paper you sent me based on CERN's dark matter detection plan. Yes, yes, yes... I understand what you mean, but... No, don't come over here. You can't move around with your injuries."

While Wei Kexue was talking to Guo Sicheng who was lying in the infirmary using a communicator, he was also using a mobile terminal to synchronize a paper titled "Axion-Mediated Cross-Dimensional Bioperception" to Yu Yuheng's team.

"If it is a weakly interacting massive particle, it will take the form of..."

"The problem now is that these strange creatures are all silent, as if they had all agreed on it." Yu Yuheng changed into a clean down jacket, and the dust on his head had not been cleaned off. He stared at the data hurriedly and said, "We all suspect that this group of creatures is showing a common resistance, and the reason may be the instructions from some higher-level creatures!"

The Emperor Team's previous research was in this direction, and the Snow Demon's abnormal reaction at this time gave Yu Yuheng a dangerous idea.

Wei Kexue's face turned pale, and he was a little stunned when he heard that. Before he could react, Ding Junyi had already returned from the observation laboratory with a group of scientists.

"Get ready for a field test."

"and many more."

Wei Kexue pressed the communicator and said immediately, "Captain He is here."

Bang bang bang.

Wow.

Before he finished speaking, a series of footsteps were heard outside.

He Zhen and Xiao He walked in with a serious look, and looked at Ding Junyi and the others: "Professors, the aviation patrol team just found the body of the abyss worm at a monitoring point 34 kilometers northwest."

"what?"

"What's the meaning."

Everyone's expression changed immediately when they heard this.

He Zhen acted quickly and asked a subordinate to come out with a mobile terminal. The subordinate quickly operated the mobile terminal, and then a survey video provided by the aviation patrol team was synchronized on a large screen in the laboratory.

In the fierce snowstorm, a giant black worm as big as a mountain was seen dragging across the snowfield, motionless. On the huge corpse of the worm, there were more than a dozen terrifying holes, as if it had been pierced by the sharp claws of some creature.

He Zhen looked at the screen and said seriously, "After observation, he is dead. Judging from the extent of the snow cover, I have asked the ground patrol team to collect biological samples a few hours ago. They will be sent here soon. The aviation patrol team will be here soon. The details..."

"and many more!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yu Yuheng suddenly shouted, and he staggered a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on the picture on the big screen, his mouth opening and closing, and after a while, he pointed at the black worm in the picture and said in panic:

"That's not the Abyss Worm that attacked the experimental building today. That's the one that was killed by Unit-01 and Chen Wei in the Trakama Ice Valley!!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing the news, He Zhen, Xiao He and others frowned immediately.

"you sure?"

"I confirm!" Yu Yuheng nodded vigorously, pointing to a spot in the picture and said, "This one is smaller than the one that attacked today. Look, this spot was cut by Unit-01's high-frequency blade chain sword. When we evacuated from the Trakama Ice Valley, Captain Lin had planted explosives on this corpse to divert the attention of the monster tide, so there are traces of explosions on it! I'm sure this is not the one that attacked the experimental building!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Kexue raised his glasses in horror. He stepped forward and pointed at the corner of the screen and said, "Look here. Although a lot of it is buried in the snow, there seems to be an obvious gully. This monster... didn't come from underground."

He turned around to look at everyone in confusion and said, "It seems... that he was dragged here by something."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.

He Zhen stared at the investigation video that was being played repeatedly and said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that something dragged such a big monster to the outskirts of Xilan City?"

"What's the purpose?" Xiao He said with a gloomy face: "To attract our attention?"

"I need to synchronize this situation to the command center immediately."

"report!"

A soldier walked in at this time: "Chief, the leader of the aviation patrol team, the Falcon Group, has arrived."

"Let Wu Chen in."

"Yes."

"Xiao He."

"exist."

He Zhen immediately said to Xiao He: "Notify Meng Chenggang to dispatch the 5th Battalion to reinforce the northern defense line of the city. Be alert! This thing appeared in the north of the city, so we have to be cautious."

"Yes!" Xiao He immediately accepted the order.

In the laboratory, more than a dozen researchers were also engaged in discussion at this time.

"Why drag this thing here? It's at least 700 kilometers from here to Tracamar Glacier Valley." Yu Yuheng looked strange.

Wei Kexue scratched his messy head, looking puzzled: "How many bugs are there?"

"There are only two at the moment, but..."

"The north of the city is our main direction for evacuating the city. Could it be related to this?" another researcher also said.

"Blocking the road? No way."

Ding Junyi looked at the video and fell silent.

"Chief."

At this time, a soldier in an aviation pilot uniform walked into the laboratory.

As soon as He Zhen saw it, he said, "Wu Chen, tell the research team about the details."

"it is good."

Wu Chen was covered in snow and rushed over without stopping after receiving the notice. Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Wait!" Ding Junyi said.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Wei Kexue also exclaimed at this time and pointed at the Hell Black Chrysanthemum on the experimental table.

"This, the disaster plant is reacting!!"

Yu Yuheng opened his mouth wide. Not only him, but everyone in the laboratory looked towards the gorgeous black chrysanthemum. They saw that the dark pistil was emitting a strong red light, accompanied by a strange and heart-pounding fluctuation!

He Zhen and several soldiers from the Survey Corps couldn't help but come over.

“This thing finally lights up.”

"Isn't this... too bright?"

"what happened?"

"Professor Ding, your research materials..."

"what's the situation?"

Ding Junyi looked at Wu Chen who had just walked in, her face gradually became stern, and she said, "Not good, this is..."

"Level 5 mark!"

……

18:00
Woo~!

Woo~!

A red alarm was sounded at the headquarters camp of the Chengdong Survey Corps, and all military teams, ammunition and supply vehicles, and mecha squadrons were mobilized in full force. Zhao Yu, He Zhen, Wen Zhuo, and others walked quickly in the camp with solemn expressions!

"Notify the entire city immediately and make full preparations for a fight."

"All aviation combat formations must take off before dark and prepare for battle over Xilan City!"

"He Zhen, the pressure in the north and east of the city is the greatest, so we will take charge of them separately."

"Okay." He Zhen nodded immediately. "I'll go to the north of the city. All the members of the aviation patrol team have markings. Wu Chen and his team took the initiative to apply to fly their aircraft to Sishuipo in the north of the city. That's the best place to provide fire cover."

Zhao Yu frowned slightly. He knew that this was almost a mission that meant he would die, so he said, "Send two more missile quick response teams to the north of the city. Also, tell the artillery battalion not to save on ammunition and try to protect Wu Chen and the others."

"I know." He Zhen said sternly.

"Wen Zhuo, all Night Walkers, together with the Postman Team, should be on standby at the support point in the city. If a disaster breaks out in the city after dark, resolve the internal disaster first."

"Contact the Phoenix Order convoy and have them clean up the area. We must prevent the spread of fear and internal changes."

As they walked, Zhao Yu said to Wen Zhuo, "There are a high concentration of mutants and evolvers in the city right now. If an internal mutation occurs, the damage will be huge. You and the people from the various representative teams will assist in the defense."

"Understood." Upon hearing this, Wen Zhuo turned around and flew into the air.

At the same time, Zhao Yu and He Zhen led their men on two small patrol planes and rushed to the anti-demon front.

At this moment, on top of the towering steel walls, rows of Great Wall-50 base rail artillery arrays are on full alert. The fire control radar of the Iron Curtain Defense Air Defense System, which is a combination of air defense missiles/electromagnetic guns/close-in defense guns, has been fully turned on, and the radar tower on the hillside of Fenglan Mountain has also entered level one combat readiness.

hum~
At the Chengbei Airport, the whole field was filled with flashing command lights. The tens of thousands of tons of Dreadnought-class aerospace carrier crushed the flying snow in the air, creating a huge roar of air and slowly took off under the command of the tower. The Warhawk-class aerial gunboats, Lightning 2 aerospace fighters, and H50 bomber formations were all urgently entering the take-off formation sequence at this moment.

Bang bang bang.

The charged 'Iron Guard 3' military assaulters, Guard 2 and Guard 3 light assaulters, T8-Z Vulcan military assaulters, and even the Destroyer heavy military assaulters of each mecha wing were continuously transported to the positions. More than soldiers of the th Survey Corps were ready and on standby.

At this time in the city, thousands of convoys that had been put on red alert by the Phoenix Society were already in full combat mode in advance. Even the Queen Mo, which was parked on the underground track, was driven to the wide track area outside. All weapon systems were turned on. Monica sat in the No. 1 carriage of the train with a serious expression, looking at the radar map and communicating with Qian Dele using the communicator.

Dozens of trains at the North City Passenger Station have already deployed in a defensive formation on the tracks, and the densely packed machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and heavy machine gun turrets on the roofs have also been loaded with bullets.

As soon as the news of the level five mark came, the nerves of everyone on the Infinity and Longshan No. 1 were tense.

"There are still 20 minutes left."

Lin now swallowed up and removed all the maintenance workshops on the freight track platform, and then used the communicator to talk to the Eagle Team and others parked between Longshan No. 1 and Infinity in the channel: "We can't move in the city, we can only defend on the spot. Our main task is to deal with the dangers in the west of the city and Fenglan Mountain. It is very likely to be an aerial monster, so the focus is on anti-aircraft guns."

"Understood, Captain Lin!!"

The Big Eagle Convoy, the Sun Chasing Convoy, the Pao Yuanying Convoy and the North Wind Alliance had a total of more than 150 vehicles, most of which were heavy vehicles. At this time, several convoys had surrounded all the heavy vehicles with the strongest defenses into a defensive line in the form of a train, surrounding the small vehicles inside, like a rectangular array. All the anti-aircraft guns were quickly installed and debugged with the help of Lin Xian's mechanical abilities.

What they didn't expect was that the weapons and ammunition they had just received would be used in less than an hour.

"Brother Lin, is the Level 5 Mark really that brutal?" Shi Diyuan's voice came from the communicator, and everyone in Longshan No. 1 was ready to fight.

"It may be even more powerful than the one before we entered the city. You must have encountered it when you came here from the airport."

Lin Xian said immediately.

Upon hearing this, Shi Diyuan's face changed immediately, "Damn it, we haven't even had two days of rest yet." After hearing Lin Xian's words, he realized the seriousness of the situation at this time, so while cursing, he urged Ning Jing and Lu Yong to quickly arrange food distribution. This night lasted for nearly 19 hours, and there were a large number of people on and off the bus, so more supplies had to be distributed in advance to avoid loss of physical strength in the night battle.

“Dongzi, Wang Zhong, Zhuang Yue, you guys must guard the heating equipment and pipelines for me, otherwise everyone in the car will freeze to death!”

"Yu Lianxing, Zhu Anran, Min Ming, and Xiaoqing, clear the threat of the roof turret. Ah Bai, just keep an eye on the big guys, understand..."

On the side of the united convoy, the high-voltage ionization wall configured by the Sun-Chasing Convoy has been raised, and the Amin and Lolo Gemini Mechas are also ready, and each convoy is on standby.

Now that Lin had dismantled the maintenance workshop, he had been in contact with several other major convoys in the city through the Red Phoenix Order, and at the same time receiving information and dispatches from He Zhen and Zhao Yu.

He also synchronized information about what happened to the Level 5 Mark to the Order of Phoenix.

In addition, he had been trying to contact Ding Junyi, but at this time the information on all fronts and frequency bands in the city was severely blocked, and it took a long time before Ding Junyi's voice came through the communicator.

"Lin Xian."

"If there is an attack, it may not just be the marked people, but your laboratory as well!" After the connection, Lin Xian reminded Ding Junyi immediately.

"I know that the Survey Corps is taking us to transfer. Currently, all the laboratories are being conducted in mobile carriages."

"it is good."

"Lin Xian, did you come into contact with the dead black worm when you were evacuating the Tracamar Ice Valley?"

Lin Xian immediately said, "I don't have it, but KIKI does, what's wrong?"

"That means the dark mark didn't come from that insect corpse. The ground search team returned 30 minutes ago. We tested it with the Hell Black Chrysanthemum and found no mark."

"What do you mean?"

Ding Junyi's voice on the communicator was calm and unnerving: "I think the Level 5 mark is likely from..."

“High in the sky!”
