Chapter 382 Mechanical Ruler, Qin Feng (8,000)

Chapter 382 Mechanical Ruler, Qin Feng (8,000)

Lin Xian and Zhou Jin's special forces team found a relatively secluded alley to stop in the distance, and then came to a high-rise building to observe. Zhou Jin arranged the special forces members to disperse and communicate at several key monitoring points around. There were three team members around them at this time, an agile female investigator with special powers, Xiao Yan, a heavy machine gunner Tong Silei who was covered with weapons and wearing Iron Hunter power armor, and Li Su, an information expert with glasses and a serious expression.

"It really is the Silver Star." Lin Xian took out a telescope and looked at the silver locomotive. He couldn't help but say, "They drove a perpetual power central locomotive with an all-terrain system. This is quite a show."

"There are quite a few large convoys coming." Jiang Yun looked at the crowded square and the various doomsday vehicles on the surrounding streets, and said:

"The Common Alliance, Iron Rampart, Windtalkers, Full Metal Tide, Grey Falcon, and even the Dawnwatch Alliance are here."

"You know a lot of them." Zhou Jin was surprised to see Jiang Yun recognized many members of the team at a glance, and said, "You must not have just entered Dawn City."

"Not really. It's been a while. They are all familiar faces and I have dealt with them before." Jiang Yun said.

Ning Jing came forward, looking surprised: "Are these teams also here to participate in the recruitment?"

Jiang Yun shook his head. "It shouldn't be. These fleets or alliances are all units with 10,000 people. They are well-equipped. The Dawnwatch Alliance has 120,000 people. I heard that they may merge with Han Jun's Arctic Wind Alliance in the north. They are a force that even the Phoenix Society and the Federation cannot underestimate."

"The smallest of the other convoys has more than 20,000 people. Part of the area where the Deli Tournament we just visited is controlled by the Grey Falcon convoy."

"Han Jun?" Lin Xian remembered: "I know this person."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "There is another person you must know, Chen Yao, from the North Wind Alliance. He and Han Jun formed an alliance after Xilan City. Together with the North Wind Alliance's No. 2 convoy after they joined forces in Jinhe, their number has exceeded 200,000. They are now one of the major alliances officially supported by the Phoenix Society."

"Wow, you are well-informed." KIKI came over and said.

"Humanity is in danger and the world is in chaos. The more friends you have and the more information you have, the more capital you will have to survive." Jiang Yun looked at Lin Xian and introduced to him.

"The Dawnwatch Alliance has 120,000 people. The captain has the same last name as you, Lin Qingyu, who is a powerful figure. He has a core team of more than 20 experts and think tanks. The entire alliance is managed in a military structure, with a very large logistics and resource team. Roads, railways, flights, including planting and production fleets, have formed a partial resource cycle. Of course, the water resource problem is also unsolvable, but they use the spiritual value coefficient of the psychic to distribute different levels of infected water, and control the mutation rate very well. Now many fleets are using this model, which was originally created by Lin Qingyu. It is said that this person used to be an environmentalist."

Lin Xian's eyes narrowed as he heard this: "You mean, the ones with strong powers drink low-purification water, while the weak ones in the team drink highly purified water that has been circulated by the powers?"

"That's what I mean."

"Risk hedging is quite smart." Monica's eyes lit up and she crossed her arms and said, "But this balance can also have great drawbacks."

"Of course, but this is indeed the best solution that the majority organization can think of at the moment." Qian Dele said with approval.

Jiang Yun continued to point to the south of the square, where a row of heavy-duty base trucks were parked. At this time, many survivors were queuing there. "The Common Alliance, it is said that the number of people is 80,000, but in fact it is far more than that. The captain of this alliance, Lei Zhen, has been in prison before and is a truck driver. 40% of this alliance are elderly, children, and women, many of whom have families. But despite this, this alliance is terrifyingly strong in combat. There are many masters on the front line, and they are all willing to fight to the death. The logistics are also very solid, and the main focus is unity. It has a good reputation among many survivors, but it is not so easy to join."

"Resources, combat power, logistics, one of them must be satisfied." Lin Xian said.

Jiang Yun nodded, without commenting, and continued, "The Windtalkers team, led by Luo Heng, was a former scout. He is a wind-type mutant like me. I have dealt with him before. He is calm and makes precise decisions. The team is not large, with only about 9,000 people, but they are all lightly equipped and have basically no large vehicles. They are very mobile and march very fast. Their mutants and individual combat power are very strong, so although they are not numerous, their survival rate is very high among all the teams in Dawn City."

"9,000 people is not a large number." Lin Xian laughed in silence. His Infinity had less than two hundred people after maintenance. Even if the combined trains were included, there were no more than 5,000 people. Of course, if Jian Xuwei and Jiang Yun's Wind Walker Alliance were combined, a team of more than 60,000 people would be considered large.

"It's different. The small teams that come here will soon merge into big teams. If you want resources, you need blood essence. If you want blood essence, you have to surround and kill the weird bodies. It's impossible to do it without a large combat team and firepower. In addition, you have to develop production, plant crops, explore and scavenge, all of which require people." Jiang Yun said: "So teams of hundreds or thousands of people are considered small teams here, and most of them are forced to join forces because they can't join those big teams."

"So, the small caravan is a gathering place for the weak?"

"We can't help it. Reality is cruel. These small teams can only unite together to increase their ability to resist risks. It is basically impossible for these people to leave Dawn City, or they dare not."

Jiang Yun pointed to a fully armed convoy on the north side of the square, with more cannons on the roofs than gun barrels: "Full Metal Tide, captain Han Tiege, former director of the Lancheng Mechanized Arsenal, the convoy has 70,000 people, many of whom are militias from the southwest region. They have a large amount of ammunition and energy systems, and are doing business with the Phoenix Society in Silent City and Dawn City. They claim to have more guns than people, and they have more than 100 energy weapons such as electromagnetic railguns and high-energy pulse cannons."

"Then there's the team called Iron Barrier. Their captain is Xu Yufei. It's hard to say much about this guy. His team has a lot of automated equipment, robots, and drones. The total number of people is only 12,000, and most of them grew stronger after coming to Dawn City. He's pretty impressive. I thought this guy should have left the city long ago, but I didn't expect him to show up here."

"There are some other small and medium-sized teams and some unfamiliar teams that I won't introduce, but it seems that the number of people who came to the scene is even more popular than on the Internet."

"I think he was also affected and wanted to quickly recruit people to run away."

"My people have checked it out. Not only are there no night patrols here, there are no people from the city defense battalion either. We did find people from the Seraph Corps outside, all in plain clothes." At this time, Zhou Jin came over with a heavy look on his face: "For such a large gathering, the situation is a bit abnormal. It seems that our guess was correct. This Infinite Train Alliance is indeed related to the top leaders of the Federation."

"Captain Zhou, what are your plans?" Lin Xian asked.

"I have arranged a team to keep an eye on the Star City Orbital Station. Let's take a look at the situation here for now. We have set up monitoring equipment in several locations. If we find Wen Dong or other people from the Federation, we will take action."

Lin Xian nodded, looked towards the square, and said

"Then let's take a look first."

The square was crowded with people, and everywhere you looked you could see people wearing all kinds of external armor and prosthetic limbs. Even some ordinary people in plain clothes were carrying weapons. It was like a large war square, but everyone seemed to have gotten used to such defense in the doomsday. Everyone was on edge, and many of the survivors waiting in line even carried all their belongings on their backs.

For a moment, the survivors who came to join in the fun, the major convoys that took the opportunity to recruit, the densely queued crowds, and the various types of drones and manned aircraft in the sky formed a scene that seemed grand but carried a strong sense of oppression.

"Wow, there are so many people recruiting, but this is the first time I see someone daring to fight in broad daylight. This Infinite Alliance has great power!" People were talking about it.

"I heard that he has a strong background and the top brass of the Federation have said yes. As long as it doesn't cause any maiming or death, it will be allowed."

"I don't think so. The Federation is in a hurry right now, so I guess they just don't have the time to care!"

"Who exactly is this Qin Feng? I've never heard of him before. Does he really have mechanical powers?"

A bearded man said, "Who knows? Our team has only heard of Lin Xian from the Infinite Team. He can use a gas turbine train to pull thousands of cars and more than 30,000 people onto the high-altitude corridor. He is so awesome!"

"That's right. Hasn't this Qin Feng heard of the deeds of Captain Lin of the Infinite? He actually chose the same name for his team..."

"I saw someone say that this Qin Feng might be Lin Xian's apprentice."

"Bullshit, can supernatural powers be taught? You must have read too many novels. But if I had this supernatural power, I would also recruit a large fleet and arm myself into an army!"

"Yes, he can create electromagnetic cannons and Gatling guns out of thin air, as well as airplanes, tanks and power armor. This ability is simply amazing!"

"In terms of potential, it feels stronger than lightning, fire, water, and wind..."

"So many people want to join. I heard that Iron Barrier has already formed an alliance with them. They are halfway there. There are more than 10,000 people, tsk tsk..."

Outside the square, some large convoys’ vehicles were temporarily gathered together. Some convoy leaders, like Lin Xian, stood on tall buildings. There were people everywhere.

In a temporary camp with a rainproof awning, a dozen people from the large caravan alliance sat inside and watched the rally with serious expressions. Although they were not very familiar with each other, most of them had dealt with each other and had some cooperation with each other.

Lin Qingyu is 42 years old, wearing a black combat uniform, Martin boots, a gentle face and a pair of sunglasses. He looks harmless. If he were not sitting here, many people would not have thought that he was the leader of a large alliance convoy with more than 100,000 people.

"A Berserker-class squad leader, unlimited recruitment of King Kong-class squad leaders... Who is this Qin Feng who suddenly appeared? Does he have unlimited resources as well?"

The person who spoke was Han Tiege, the leader of Full Metal Panic, who was sitting next to him. He was short and a little fat, but he was wearing a tailor-made set of high-tech power armor with flight thrusters, which wrapped him up like a statue. It seemed that out of caution, he was fully armed wherever he went.

"Mechanical abilities are incredible. They are a form of productivity, and ammunition and weapons are hard currency nowadays. It's not surprising when you think about it this way." 37-year-old Luo Heng looked at the Silver Star in the center of the square with sharp eyes and said, "Some people in our team have left the team to sign up, and you should have some too."

"It's none of my business whether you want to go or not." Lei Zhen from the Common Alliance has a hot temper and is a bearded man. "If I wasn't planning to expand my numbers, I wouldn't even bother to join in the fun. What's so great about mechanical abilities?"

"You already have enough people. If you want to expand, just lower the threshold. You can break 200,000 today!" Xu Yufei from the Iron Barrier Team said sarcastically with a cold expression, "You want everyone anyway..."

"Bullshit!"

Lei Zhen cursed loudly: "Everyone is a human being. As long as I have enough resources and ammunition, one million people will not be too few. But you, Xu Yufei, how many times have you met Qin Feng? Why did you bring your whole team to surrender?"

"I'm investing." Xu Yufei drank his coffee leisurely, his eyes sweeping over other team leaders: "Haven't you heard what Captain Luo said? Mechanical abilities are productivity. In this world, bullets are hard currency. They have their own production lines, and the Phoenix Society and the Federation are vying to cooperate with them. Why can't I?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the other dozen or so convoys all had different expressions.

Lin Qingyu from the Dawnwatch Alliance looked at him and asked with interest: "Captain Xu, you have met Qin Feng. What is your impression of this person?"

"I can't see anything special about him, but his ability is indeed powerful." Xu Yufei said bluntly: "You all guessed correctly, he is cooperating with the Federation, and it is a very in-depth cooperation."

"Because of the mechanical power."

"yes."

“No wonder. I heard that Lin Xian from the Infinite Team is already a partner of the Crimson Phoenix Order. The Federation probably wants to capture this kind of [Civilization-level] psychic, which is why it is giving such strong support.” Someone from the team said.

"And you chose the same name as someone else, really..."

"The story of Lin Xian's team has spread throughout the city. Now, many fans of Mechanical Power and Infinity have appeared to resist the Federation's propaganda of [First Kill S-Class], which has caused a lot of negative impact." Luo Heng of the Windtalkers team said at this time: "I guess it may be related to this."

"First kill of S-rank, huh." Lin Qingyu sneered: "The Arctic Wind Alliance transported more than 1,000 tons of Cloud Blackthorn's corpse tissue from Xilan City for research in cooperation with the Dawn Center. At least more than 50 research laboratories have received experimental specimens. This kind of political propaganda can only fool ordinary people."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Yufei and said calmly, "Captain Xu, I advise you to be cautious. The Federation is unreliable. Even if this 'New Infinite Team' is established, will the Federation allow this force that it has supported to leave Dawn City?"

Xu Yufei's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't care, and said: "It doesn't matter, let's make friends first, and then see what happens later."

"Tsk, a fence-sitter." Lei Zhen sneered.

Xu Yufei glanced at him coldly but said nothing more.

Luo Heng from the Windtalker glanced at him indifferently. From the intelligence he obtained, it was not surprising that Xu Yufei would make such a choice. This guy was originally a doomsday speculator with a lonely and selfish personality. His team pursued a fully elite development and would hold on to any small profits. After entering the city, he was a firm supporter of Dawn City and joined the Federal Survivors Mutual Aid Organization. However, when he realized that the situation in Dawn City was critical and the Phoenix Society's Sky-Suppressing Ship was approaching, he immediately changed his mind and prepared to find other teams to join the Phoenix Society and leave.

Although Xu Yufei's behavior is understandable as he is survival-oriented, his attitude makes it difficult for him to get along well with people from some large caravans. He also looks down on small caravans, and he doesn't dare to take risks even with more than 10,000 people of his own. Therefore, Lei Zhen of the alliance completely sneers at this man.

The recruitment meeting was carried out in a chaotic yet orderly manner. Outside the square, the 'Infinity Silver Star' fleet set up multiple recruitment channels. Dozens of recruitment officers were busy dealing with the queues. There were individual people and small teams participating in the recruitment, and the recruitment requirements were very simple.

First, the minimum requirement is that the peak power must be over 500, which is not just a requirement for the Diamond level, because the limit coefficient is not calculated at all. Therefore, those who originally thought they were Diamond level were unable to pass through the automatic detection channel and were driven away by the guards. The queue entrance was in chaos, with physical conflicts and crying breaking out from time to time.

The second point is about people with special abilities. If the ability is of a special type and has great potential or functionality, then even if the ability index is not reached, they can join. This allows some children who have awakened their abilities to meet the requirements, but the problem is that the requirements of the 'Infinite Silver Star' fleet are very strict. Only a Berserk-level person can carry one [family member], while a Destruction-level person can carry three.

Family members are not limited to the elderly, the weak, the sick or the disabled. This sounds extremely cruel, because if one can reach the violent level of strength, one can form a team of hundreds of people by himself, but if one chooses to join the 'Infinite Silver Star' team, one can only bring three people.

But even so, there are still a large number of people who are willing to quit their original teams and come to join. The most direct reason is that after a long period of dark doomsday, trains, a means of transport with extremely high safety factors and life experience, have gradually received a lot of praise.

Although the conditions of use are harsh, many large fleets are now beginning to combine trains and fleets to chase the dawn along the track. Whether it is the ring star track or the ordinary trunk track, the efficiency and survival rate are much better than crossing mountains and ridges.

The current Dawn Watch Alliance teams also have their own train alliances, cooperating with each other and supporting each other.

Therefore, Qin Feng, who owned the powerful Eternal-class train "Silver Star", caused a sensation as soon as he released his recruitment plan, because this train was too advanced, with automated weapons and equipment, ultra-high defense armor, and all-terrain drive.

Another very important point is Qin Feng’s mechanical ability!

This ability, which many people did not understand or even despised at first, was gradually touted as a [Civilization Creation]-level ability by both the public and official systems after the stories of Lin Xian's Infinity spread. It was even said that Lin Xian could build starships and aircraft carriers and travel the universe. In the battle of Xilan City, he used infinite bullets to kill an S-level monster...

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the square. The eyes of tens of thousands of people changed, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became much quieter.

“Are we going to start?”

"Qin Feng is coming out!"

Buzz.

The park square, which was originally covered with dry grass, began to shake violently. The ground began to crack and a huge circular gate slowly opened. No one expected that there was such a huge underground mechanical structure under Gallagher.

Under the shocked gazes of countless people, a brand new mechanical platform slowly rose up. Hundreds of armed men wearing Phantom Wolf and Iron Hunter power armor stood neatly in several rows, separated by front and back, and slowly rose from below the horizon.

These people stood in neat rows with standard formations. On one side of the front two squares were men who looked as powerful as Iron Man, and on the other side were women with power armor with contoured bodies. Blue energy lines flowed slowly on their bodies. Their styles were exactly the same and it looked very sci-fi. In the back were two groups of heavily armed personnel wearing Iron Hunter armor, each of them looked like a giant bear, revealing violent mechanical power.

At this moment, hundreds of drones flew up from the ground, forming a huge spiral in the sky. At this moment, a figure wearing red nano-star power armor slowly floated up from the center of the formation. He did not use thrusters, wind powers or wings, but just floated up like a god, which was extremely shocking!

At the same time, the armed personnel in power armor all turned on their propulsion devices at the same time, as if they had rehearsed it in advance, and took off with a bang. The Mach loop cut through the sky, causing a sonic boom.

Wow!

For a moment, the square with tens of thousands of people was shaken. This exaggerated appearance directly ignited the whole audience. Even the captains of the large convoys under the canopy had different expressions and were speechless.

"Is this guy putting on a show at a press conference? This is too fucking exaggerated!" Fatty Han Tiege couldn't help but open his power armor mask and stared at the scene in amazement.

"It looks like an appearance, but it's actually an arms display." Luo Heng quickly recorded it with an instrument. As a scout, he was particularly sensitive to equipment. While recording, he said, "100 sets of Phantom Wolf/Iron Hunter power armor, which is enough to arm a mecha squadron. And this underground device, I don't know if it is a military facility of the Federation or made by this guy..."

"It's really awesome, such a big show." Lei Zhen cursed at Qin Feng in the air: "How did it fly? The detector didn't detect that the propulsion device was running. Can the mechanical ability resist gravity and float in the air?"

Lin Qingyu stared at him. "I don't know. Let's see what this guy is up to. If the price is right, I might want to buy a few sets of equipment from him for my team."

The gorgeous appearance caused a huge sensation. Qin Feng, who was floating in the sky, waved his hand lightly, and all the power armor guards landed. Then the drones were arranged in a square in the air and began to project a huge holographic projection, and the content was the picture in the center of the square.

At this time, Qin Feng slowly descended to a lower altitude area, but did not land on the ground. The nano-power armor on his body was quickly untied, and a handsome young man who looked about 27 or 28 years old appeared in everyone's sight.

He is tall, with sharp eyes, and his handsome face and neck show signs of mechanical modification, which makes him have a small holographic light screen in front of his eyes, like a monocle, which looks very sci-fi.

On a tall building not far away, Lin Xian, KIKI, Monica, Jiang Yun and the others were a little surprised when they saw this exaggerated appearance.

But what surprised Lin Xian was not the power armors and drones, but the huge mechanical structure under the square.

"That looks like some kind of military launch channel, classified," said Zhou Jin of the Iron Guard Brigade. "The Federation has invested a lot of money to use this kind of place for publicity."

"The more they take this matter or this person's purpose more seriously, it means that this matter or this person's purpose is definitely not simple." KIKI crossed his arms and said calmly, "I think he held this recruitment meeting. In addition to the basic team members, he is mainly aiming for masters above the destruction level. He wants to attract popularity through fighting and quickly build his own backbone team. It's a perfect idea."

Lin Xian nodded: "Yes, if you want to recruit people, just give them the salary. There is really no need for competitions. It is nothing more than a gimmick to squeeze as many powerful people into the team as possible. But if you only give the salary, those destructive masters will lead their teams, and people will test his ability as the captain."

"So he did this because he just didn't want to do it?" Ning Jing couldn't help but frowned when she heard Lin Xian's words.

"That's right." Monica said leisurely, "But people who can reach the destruction level are not fools. If Qin Feng doesn't come up with some explanation, this 'Infinite Silver Star' team will definitely not be able to be formed."

"That's true. Let's first see how powerful this mechanical ruler is." Jiang Yun said.

Lin Xian glanced at Lu Xingchen and Shizhi standing beside him. Both of them were concentrating on looking at the square. One of them had a fierce look in his eyes and a rather unconvinced expression, and it seemed that he was very interested in the supernatural power competition. The other one looked like he hadn't seen such excitement in thousands of years. He stood behind KIKI, stretched his neck and stared in that direction with wide eyes, like a simple silly girl with social phobia.

At this time, in the center of the square, Qin Feng, who had caused a violent reaction, had a calm expression on his face, as if he was not surprised at all by such a scene and reaction. Listening to the discussions one after another, he was silent for a few minutes before he finally spoke.

"Everyone, in the doomsday when the stars are falling and civilization is falling, we humans are like ants crawling on scorched earth, like mayflies struggling in the wilderness. The world is in ruins, the moral principles are destroyed, morality is lost, and order is reduced to ash."

"We were towers, now we are ruins. We were torches, now we are embers."

"but--"

"As long as there is still a breath, don't abandon yourself to the abyss; as long as there is still a glimmer of light, don't kneel down in the long night."

"In line with the responsibility of survival and the ambition of passing on the torch, I, Qin Feng, the mechanical ruler, in this Dawn City, announce to thousands of heroes and heroes to form a doomsday alliance with me to save the nation. This is not only for survival, but also for accumulating the strongest power of mankind. In this desperate situation, human relations are miserable, family members are separated, faith is destroyed, and hope is extinguished."

"But as long as we have faith, even if we are now enduring humiliation and fleeing for survival, one day, we will be the first to fight back with the force of a prairie fire!"

No one expected that this guy would speak so passionately as soon as he opened his mouth, which stunned tens of thousands of people in the square for a moment, and even made many of them look excited and enthusiastic, and their originally suppressed emotions were mobilized.

"So, I want to form a train alliance and use my mechanical abilities to build nuclear reactor cars, water circulation and purification cars, vertical farm cars, green plant cultivation cars, arms manufacturing, medical cabins, ability training, and a large number of comfortable living cars, including train schools, birth care, entertainment systems, civilization storage and other functional cars. I will continue to build modules, develop and improve them, use steel armor to defend against the endless tide of zombies, and rush all the way along the 320,000-kilometer orbit around the star!"

"I believe that as our abilities grow and technology advances, one day we will be able to soar into the sky, break through the dawn, and embark on a journey to the distant stars!"

boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place seemed to be ignited. Not only the scene, but also the countless live broadcast screens on the Dawn City intranet were all on fire. This guy's speech seemed to carry a tremendous magical power that made people very excited.

On Lin Xian's side, after listening to Qin Feng's bold words, everyone looked at Lin Xian at the same time, with meaningful expressions.

KIKI was doubting her life. She stared at Lin Xian blankly, her face flushed red, as if she wanted to laugh but was trying hard to hold it back.

At this time, Lin Xian opened his mouth slightly and uttered silently:

WCNMD……

It seems like everything this guy said was my words...
