Chapter 523 Chaos

The fierce sniping battle on the north bank was proceeding brutally, with artillery fire deafening, but the command channel was completely silent.

The entire military leadership of the Iron Guard Brigade, including Elder Luo, fell into a horrified silence.

Old Luo's expression was solemn: "Commander Lin, do you mean that the angels of the Tower Civilization will merge on this continent?"

"With all five world-class creatures gathered here, are we doomed?" Zeng Weiguo said.

"Not necessarily. According to Captain Lin, they need to absorb a considerable amount of energy." Sean from Utopia was scanning the sky at this moment: "The crimson storm in this area is too large. It seems to be charging the Chaos!"

"That's right, it's actually just speculation, but it seems pretty close to the truth."

Lin Xian said that he couldn't explain the metal dice either, but considering the current situation, it was definitely the most logical explanation.

He took to the air, his power armor's vision system locking onto the giant eye in the sky. His expression turned grim as he said, "So that's why it hasn't taken direct action. It's currently recovering its energy!"

The previous battle at the Dawn Center not only resulted in huge losses but also caused considerable damage to this evil god. Professor Ye strictly controlled the use of nuclear weapons, instead having Nantianmen accurately bombard it with 13 shots. Under such power, even if this guy was a mountain, he would definitely suffer damage!

"Then we need to take this opportunity to run!" KIKI gasped. "If we wait until those big guys arrive, won't we be completely surrounded?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Yun also said.

"It now seems that our previous relocations were subject to regular attacks, the purpose of which was to delay our relocation. This monster must have been hiding in the earth's crust, replenishing its energy through the crimson."

"And after we prepared for the mass evacuation, it suddenly launched a massive attack," Chen Sixuan said. "There must be people from the Foundation within our ranks who are somehow trying to send messages to the Tower Civilization."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to see through our strategy so accurately. Given the intensity of the previous Crimson Tide, our breakout shouldn't have been so disastrous!"

"There's no point in knowing this now."

Chu Yan then spoke up: "On the Foundation's side, almost all of humanity's strategic intentions are out in the open, except..."

She paused, glanced at Lin Xian, and then said, "Judging from the current situation, the chaos has not fully recovered, but the storm has already formed and it probably won't be long before it does. We must hurry!"

“Lin Xian, the direction of Arizona…” Chen Sixuan suddenly said.

"It's Oceanus!"

Lin Xian frowned upon hearing this.

"Alright! The train unit must speed up again. We absolutely must get out of North America before dawn, otherwise..."

Boom!

Suddenly, at that moment, the scarlet sky abruptly contracted, as if the pupils of a cosmic behemoth were focusing intensely. The giant eye in the sky suddenly burst forth with a fierce dark red light, instantly turning the entire land into a pool of blood.

The air began to hum, like millions of dying insects flapping their wings at the same time. Fine grains of sand defied gravity and floated up eerily. Then, the hum transformed into a roar that tore the earth apart! The entire wasteland, like a drumhead struck by an invisible giant hammer, arched upwards and then crashed down again!

"What?!"

"careful!!"

"Retreat quickly!"

Rumble—!

With a tremendous roar, dust and smoke billowed into the sky, and the light of the entire world seemed to be completely obscured by the boiling dust and thick fog, plunging the world into darkness.

Just then, Lin Xian and the others around him were surrounded by a sandstorm. Apart from the train rushing by below, they could not see anything more than a hundred meters ahead.

Ugh!!!

During the lull in the artillery barrage, a raging, bizarre tide of creatures roared in from all directions amidst the crimson dust. The fire lines of the trains below collapsed instantly, and large areas of the train lines stretching for tens of kilometers were immediately lost, with even communication signals becoming intermittent.

"Not good!" At this moment, Chu Yan's sharp voice rang out in the earpiece: "That monster knows our strategy?!"

"What? It can understand our words, or even sense our thoughts?" KIKI shouted, frantically spreading her psychic field with both hands.

"No! It must be the foundation!"

Chu Yan's tone was icy: "Damn it, they know everything about our internal communications!"

"What do we do?" Jiang Yun, stirring up a storm around him, descended from the sky: "It looks like that monster is going to make a forceful move!"

"There's simply no way to solve this problem right now, Lin Xian?!"

"Save lives first!" Lin Xian opened the mechanical gate, and all the drones poured out, transforming into temporary flying vehicles to rescue people across the battlefield, while simultaneously stabilizing the derailed train below and continuing its journey.

Sizzle! Bang! Bang! Bang!

However, within moments, the temporary track line, stretching for tens of kilometers, began to collapse.

In Lin Xian's vision, the earth began to tremble violently, the tectonic plates cracked open, and high-temperature gases shot into the sky, making the entire earth appear to undulate like ocean waves. Then, tens of kilometers of train tracks began to break off and derail, before being surrounded by the strange tide, and countless train convoys were instantly annihilated.

This steel network, carrying the last hopes of millions, is constantly twisting and breaking! The sturdy alloy rails, like fragile twisted ropes, are being twisted and thrown away by tremendous force amidst the tooth-grinding metallic groans.

Railroad ties and gravel were hurled high into the air, mingling with towering columns of smoke and dust that completely swallowed the already thin light.

The world was plunged into a chaotic, dark state, reeking of rust and blood.

Disaster struck in an instant.

"Ah—!! It's gone off track!"

"Help! The train carriage has overturned!"

"The connection is broken! Push up from behind—!!"

Public communication frequencies were instantly drowned out by piercing screams and desperate cries.

The train of the Gale train convoy was the first to suffer the consequences. The enormous inertia caused the armed train to be overturned like a toy by an invisible giant hand. A dozen heavy carriages tilted and rolled violently to the side with a heart-palpitating sound of metal tearing apart, crashing into the motor vehicle convoy running alongside.

The steel monsters crushed and collided with each other, bursting into dazzling sparks and towering flames.

A truck fully loaded with fuel was struck by the overturned cargo bed, turning into a massive fireball. The scorching shockwave, carrying burning debris, swept across hundreds of meters, instantly engulfing the Iron Guard soldiers who were fighting the strange tide nearby.

The screams even drowned out the sound of artillery fire!

"Report! Left flank...left flank position lost! The 7th Regiment...completely wiped out!"

"The right flank needs support! The monsters are charging! We can't hold them off!"

"Brigade Headquarters! Brigade Headquarters! Respond if you hear me! General Li Sheng!!"

Meanwhile, the command post of General Li Sheng of the 13th Iron Guard Brigade was also completely lost!

The dozens of carriages following behind, under the terrifying pulling force, derailed one by one like dominoes, rising high and then crashing down.

The screams of shattering glass, the groans of twisting steel, and the muffled thuds of crushed bones mingled together. The trains behind had no time to react and crashed violently into the steel wreckage in front amidst the thick fog and smoke, triggering an even more devastating secondary impact and a chain of explosions.

In the firelight, countless figures were flung out of the broken car windows like broken dolls, instantly covered and torn apart by the swarming insects, without even having time to scream.

Lin, clad in power armor, sped through the sandstorm, braving the intense heat and air currents.

"Grace, fire!"

"Grace..."

Boom boom boom!

"grid……"

[Grace received it]

Phase calibration complete… Energy core operating at overload… Constraint field stabilized…

【emission!】

boom!

Nine heavens above, the atmosphere was violently torn apart, and the beam of destruction fell again, hitting the giant eye in the sky with perfect accuracy. The blazing white beam made the dust and smoke in the sky shine brightly.

The next moment—

boom!!!!!!!!!!

A terrifying explosion, beyond description, erupted tens of thousands of meters in the sky! It wasn't an explosion of fire, but the annihilation and release of pure energy! A ring-shaped shockwave, several kilometers in diameter, carrying the atmosphere ionized into plasma, swept outwards in all directions from the point of impact of the light spear, like a raging star ring!

Wherever the shockwave swept, the flying anomalies in the sky and even the pervasive crimson mist were instantly vaporized!

Then came the raging winds that swept across the land! The residual energy and shockwaves tore through the atmosphere, creating a violent storm!

Jiang Yun and KIKI seized the opportunity and used their superpowers to break through the sandstorm. At that moment, a fiery cloud filled with red flames suddenly appeared in the sky from afar.

"I have arrived!"

Lu Xingchen's body was already engulfed in flames, like a volcano about to erupt. He roared and slammed his fists into the churning crimson sandstorm.

"God - Burning Heaven Ashes!"

A sea of ​​crimson-gold fire, centered on him, swept wildly in all directions like a supernova explosion!

KIKI, Jiang Yun, and Huo Ge worked together to guide the shockwave from the torrent of Nantianmen towards both sides of the train line, instantly creating an impact zone with a diameter of more than ten kilometers, and visibility immediately became clear.

"Look!"

Lin Xian and Chu Yan flew into the sky at the same time and arrived in front of KIKI and the other two. At this moment, they all looked at the outer edge of the impact zone, where wind walls were swirling, sand and dust filled the sky, and a scarlet storm was sweeping across the sky.

Behind the sand wall, besides the giant eye in the sky, they also saw the outline of a giant pillar thousands of meters high, like a towering tree.

But it wasn't a tree; it was a fleshy pillar of a living thing, like a fishing rod standing on the earth.

And at the end of that fishing rod is that giant eye in the sky!

Then, below the 'fishing rod,' the outline of a crustal creature, spanning over ten kilometers and covering a vast plain, began to appear.

It is wriggling.

The earth therefore cracked and bulged.

"What...is that?"

"That eyeball was suspended in the sky!"

Lin Xian's power armor scanned the outline in the dynamic visuals, his eyes filled with horror.

At this moment, he inexplicably felt that he had seen this thing many times in his memory.

Anglerfish...

right.

The monster resembled an anglerfish living beneath the earth's magma, but its size was terrifying. What hung in the sky was no longer certain whether it was its eyeball or a 'lantern' used to lure prey.

This is the essence of chaos!

"Lin Xian, look!"

KIKI pointed downwards, and everyone looked to see that on the cracked earth, the winding Union Train had broken off and derailed into dozens of battlefields, ceasing its charge. At least a million people had been trapped in the endless horde of monsters.

A barrage of artillery fire swept across the horde of monsters coming from all directions. The chaos erupting from the earth's crust shattered their evacuation plan.

"What do we do? There are still so many people!" Jiang Yun's face was grim. They looked down at the earth, and countless compatriots were in dire straits at this moment.

Lin Xian remained silent. They had already used almost every means at their disposal. Faced with the emerging chaos, it seemed that only running away remained as their only option.

"We can't save them anymore. The area along the line is too far from the North Bank front, so we have to give up."

Chu Yan said with unusual calm, "Lin Xian, at least half of the people have already been evacuated. In this situation, no one can save them."

"How can this be!!" Huo Ge's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the countless battle lines burning fiercely below. His whole body was trembling, but he also knew that with such a long battle line, he couldn't save many people at all.

Once a train derails, it completely loses its mobility, and the moment the tracks collapse, fate closes its doors to them.

"ah!!"

"It's unstoppable."

"Help!!"

Even on the public frequency band, he could still intermittently hear screams from several nearby broken lines. Lin Xian clenched his fists, constantly calculating in his mind.

Just then, from within the crimson storm's canopy, a silver-gray shuttle-shaped assault ship burst forth from the storm, its bow triple-mounted orbital seismic cannons spewing out azure light spears a hundred meters in diameter. The crimson sky was forcibly torn open, creating a rift that stretched across the heavens, and it hurtled toward the battlefield at high speed!

Immediately afterwards, a second, a third, and countless other types of airships, transport ships, airships, and combat ships shot out like meteors.

These aerial units quickly flew towards the derailed trains, providing fire support and instantly turning the tide of the battle, giving the trains that were on the verge of destruction a precious respite.

"Which fleet is that?" Jiang Yun asked, his voice trembling with disbelief as he swept away a strange tide with a hurricane-like motion.

"Flint? No, that's not right!"

"Visitors from outer space?!" Huo Ge exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Xian's gaze swept over the airships that flew out of the clouds, his pupils dilated, and then he laughed.

"It's better to be lucky than early; we've arrived at the perfect time."

Buzz! As if sensing the change, Chaos emitted a terrifying buzz.

At that moment, several space-based weapons flew out from the storm and directly bombarded the giant eye in the sky. The violent energy exploded in the sky, raising a shock cloud.

Then, amidst the massive storm, a floating city that blotted out the sky and dispersed the clouds, accompanied by a violent tremor that shook the earth, and a mechanical mountain range that covered half the sky slowly descended, crushing the clouds.

At that moment, Shinji Mochizuki's voice, tinged with familiar weariness, came through Lin Xian and the others' communicators.

"Long time no see, Lin."

Silent City, arriving from across the ocean!
