Chapter 331 Nightmare
Under the dark forest, a strangely appearing train was lying across the mountains and trees. Thousands of trees were crushed and broken, and the metallic hissing sounds of various carriages came one after another. This giant modern industrial creation suddenly appeared here without any warning.
Lin Xian tried to look into the distance through the drone, but under the darkness, he could only see the outlines of some mountains. He didn't know if it was the thick black fog that caused the visual distortion, but the huge mountains in the distance seemed to be slowly wriggling, and the black shadows dissolved and reorganized in the fog. The sky was a strange deep blue, with no stars or moon, and he couldn't see the terrain clearly, and couldn't tell the southeast.
Lin Xian seemed to be the first to wake up from his lost state of consciousness. When he grabbed Chen Sixuan and checked the current situation through the drone, the others came back to their senses from their shock, or rather... woke up.
[A large number of dark and fearful forces have been detected to invade]
The alarm of the heterogeneous Rubik's Cube kept ringing.
Sizzle
In the communicator, the internal frequency band of the Infinity finally returned to normal. KIKI had already rushed to the front carriage and saw Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan, and shouted loudly
"Are you guys okay?!"
"How are the others!?" Lin Xian saw KIKI and immediately contacted the other carriages.
"fine!"
"We are all OK."
"The trunk is safe!"
At one moment, messages were sent in from people in each carriage of the Infinity, and panicked noises filled the communicators. It was obvious that everyone had just come back to their senses from their fear and loss.
"Brother Shi, how is it over there?" After confirming the situation of the Infinity, Lin Xian began to ask about other trains.
After the intermittent signal was interrupted, Longshan No. 1 finally sent a message, but the first thing that sounded in the communicator was a burst of gunfire!
Bang bang bang!
At the same time, gunshots, screams and roars were heard from other convoys.
"Dark mutation!" someone shouted.
"Old Chen, no!"
"Kill him now!!"
"The carriage is out of control, closed!!"
Dadada, bang bang bang!
"Wake up, we are one family!"
In an instant, countless howls of pain and shouts spread throughout the public frequency band. Everyone understood at this moment that a dark change had erupted inside!
"Seal off all carriages, resolve the situation inside!" On the Longshan No. 1 side, Shi Diyuan led Ning Jing and a group of people to quickly rush through the carriages, constantly resolving the abnormalities inside, suppressing panic, and personally shooting and killing those once familiar, beloved, and friendly faces!
At the same time, he also shouted in the leader channel: "Brother Lin, other teams, this damn place has a very high soul value. Hurry up and solve the internal problems. There must be a strange creature approaching!"
On the Joker team's side, Qian Dele acted quickly. A golden flash flashed through the carriage, and several mutated subordinates had their necks broken by him coldly. He was the fastest in dealing with this situation. Everyone looked at their companions who were killed by their boss with a calm face. In the Joker team, everyone had already reached a consensus that mutation means death, but it would be a shame if the mutation harmed their own people.
"We have solved it. The problem now is that we seem to have gone off track." Qian Dele looked at the dead chef Lao Zhou on the ground with cold eyes and sighed secretly.
The Queen Mo also encountered frequent problems, but all of Monica's men were wearing power armor and connected to her control system. As long as one person's vital signs and heart rate information showed abnormalities, an alarm would immediately sound, and Monica would directly lock the power armor program, reversely controlling them to prevent them from using weapons and attacking friendly forces, and then they would be dealt with.
But there happened to be a dozen women in one of her carriages that she had collected from Old Scorpion. Three of them had already undergone mutations and had bitten two others to death before being killed by Monica...
Monica looked at the environment around the train in the holographic interface and said quickly, "We have found the reason why Boss Hu and his team got lost. Xingyuan seems to have directly torn us into another space or area."
On the Infinity, Lin Xian and Chen Sixuan KIKI ran all the way to the back carriage. Ding Junyi in carriage 3 was also shocked by this strange power. She followed Lin Xian all the way to the back and saw the world outside the gap of the window visor. She couldn't help but say: "Is Xingyuan some kind of black hole singularity? The nearest forest to the Aksai No Man's Land is at least 4,000 kilometers away. This is really incredible."
"Captain Lin!"
Shu Qin in front came over at this time, followed by Luo Yang, Lu Chang, Lao Mo and Sun Yuzhen.
"Captain Lin, this is exactly the situation we encountered before!!!" Old Mo, who was still recovering from his injuries, was horrified and shouted, "We must leave here quickly, otherwise..."
boom!
Before he could finish his words, a huge shock came suddenly. It seemed to come from other convoys in the rear, pulling all the carriages in the front back violently, almost making Lin Xian and others lose their balance.
"What's wrong?!"
"Strange body!!"
Boom boom boom!
There was a huge sound of attack, and in the dark forest, all kinds of eerie and terrifying noises began to be heard, as if countless unknown creatures were rapidly approaching the United Train.
"The convoy behind us fell into the water!"
"Overboard?"
"Captain Lin, we, the Sail, the Great Victory, the Iron Fortress...are all stuck in a swamp now. The Ocean and the Parrot behind us have already sunk into the lake!"
Red Rose Team Captain Zhou Hongqiu stood in the tilted carriage, looking at the countless strange tumbling tentacles in the swamp outside, and the unspeakable monsters that had climbed onto the carriage, and reported to the convoy ahead in unbearable panic.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
At this moment, the internal troubles of hundreds of trains in the United Fleet had not been cleared yet, and the outside was already in chaos. Alarms were blaring, and all the heavy weapons on the Infinity's fire control system had been activated. The electromagnetic railgun and 1130 were all automatically operating at this time, and the firepower raged in an instant! !
Nearly 1/3 of the trains behind the Red Rose convoy were stuck in the muddy swamp, while the Ocean and Parrot, with a total of more than 30 carriages, began to be flooded and madly sank into an unknown deep water.
A huge lake!
The location of the Union Train is right on the edge of this lake.
"It's flooding! Help!!"
"what to do?!"
"Open the doors and swim out!" The captain of the Ocean acted decisively, but by then the entire carriage was half submerged and floating on the lake. Black lake water continued to pour in, and even the nuclear-powered carriages began to take on water. The train's electrical system flickered, and all the automatic valve machines were stuck.
He immediately called on the psychics to come forward and manually open the doors of each carriage, but at this time, a huge black snake-like shadow suddenly meandered outside the carriage. Under the flashing headlights, countless dark green scales could be seen curling and twisting, causing wild waves and whirlpools, as if it was some kind of horrible creature under the black water.
Empty! The second sound came, and it was the rearmost carriage that seemed to be entangled by something and began to collapse inwards. The whole train tilted forward and backward, and water kept rushing towards the rear carriage. People could no longer stand.
Pulled by the tremendous force, the entire train was moving backwards continuously, as if it was about to be pulled into the water by the unknown creatures under the black water lake.
At the same time, in the dark forest, creatures whose shapes were completely invisible began to swarm towards the joint train. The weapon systems of all the convoys were roaring at this moment, and the sound of gunfire resounded in this dark and lonely forest.
“We are retreating!!”
"Something is dragging us into the water!"
Buzz, the traction locomotives of the trains in each convoy were roaring at this time, but the hard iron wheels could not generate any grip in the swamp and mud.
At this time, Shi Diyuan shouted immediately: "Sister Mo, you and my all-terrain traction train team will start the traction drive switch immediately and pull the convoy up first!"
"good!"
In a flash, the only two all-terrain traction locomotives in the combined train immediately switched to the track group drive and began to roar with force. For a moment, dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and wood chips were crushed. They just barely stopped their retreat, but the ground in the forest was all muddy humus soil, which was soft and deep, and could not have much effect at all.
"No, we have to use track traction!"
At this time, Lin now shouted in the communicator that it was simply a fantasy to rely on two all-terrain vehicles to tow a train that was more than ten kilometers long and stuck in a mud swamp. The only way was to push the carriages one by one onto the rails, using the train's own weight and the friction of the tracks to pull the train. If that was not enough, more tracks would be covered. By doing this, more power from traction locomotives could be put to use!
After Lin Xian finished speaking, he immediately discussed strategies with KIKI and others.
"If we build the track and put the trains on it one by one, I don't know if it will work if we pull the guide at the back to reset it."
"But this requires a very long track, otherwise it will definitely slip due to insufficient traction." KIKI said at this time.
"Yes, how about we use the method of mounting a trailer hook on the car..." Shuqin said at this time.
"No, more than 500 train carriages are stuck. How can the hooks and cables pull tens of thousands of tons?" Luo Yang also shook his head.
The situation was already extremely urgent at this point, with a large number of attacks coming at them at once. There was no time for people to discuss too much, and the situation was critical!
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lao Mo suddenly said: "Captain Lin, the easiest way to stop a heavy train from derailing is to force the train onto the track. Do you remember the traction platform of the climbing elevator? If you can make a non-fixed track ladder, and then use the traction platform to pull the train onto the track ladder, you can use the train power to reset it automatically. The track ladder can be driven into simple piles in this area. There is no need to consider stability, but it only needs a maximum length of half a kilometer to definitely hold the train. As long as it can move forward, just lay simple steel rails in front!"
Lin Xian reacted immediately after hearing this. Lao Mo was indeed a veteran engineer of Xinghua Heavy Industry. His method was concise and to the point!
To put it bluntly, the Queen Mo and Longshan No. 1 all-terrain tractors are used as traction platforms, and bricks/steel plates are laid in front of the lead vehicle to form a temporary guide slope for pulling the vehicle into the track with pre-made ground piles. Although the tractor cannot pull the vehicle, Lin Xian and KIKI can directly build the track underneath. As long as the Infinity traction locomotive can be dragged onto the track, the Infinity, which has 4 traction locomotives and two nuclear-powered trains, can provide huge torque to pull the rear vehicle.
Thinking of this, Lin Xian immediately shared his idea with others, and Steve Yuan and Monica also understood his intention and immediately expressed their approval.
"Let's do it this way. Sister Mo, you and Ning Jing will be in charge of the tractor. Old Qian, you and I will be in charge of blocking the monsters and protecting Brother Lin and the others!"
"good!"
"Everyone move, quickly!"
On Lin Xian's side, all personnel are also ready to join the battle.
"Lei Zi, protect Captain Lin!" Li Yi shouted to Liang Lei at this time.
Liang Lei nodded, and immediately followed Lin Xian together with the two people from Dalou, Li Guangwen and others.
"Assault team, mobile team, suppress and cover me!"
"Teacher Chen, your investigation team, guard the car!"
"good!"
"Brother Huo, you know what to do!"
"I understand!"
Bang bang!
In carriage No. 21, the roof opened and a Vulcan mecha roared and jumped out of the car. Sasha, who was sitting inside, also shouted, "Look at how powerful I am!"
"Fire Fist!"
boom!
Lu Xingchen flew into the sky and blasted down a raging fire into the twisted forest with dense creatures. The huge fireball swept all the way, igniting hundreds of trees, which burned fiercely, with flames shooting up into the sky.
At once, all the Infinity members wearing power armor, as well as personnel from other convoys such as Longshan No. 1, Queen Mo, and Joker came out in full force, and under the firepower of the train, they opened fire fiercely at the creatures sweeping in from the forests on both sides.
Those twisted, human-shaped, coral-shaped creatures, insects, monsters, and ghosts with unclear faces and shapes exude countless strange smells, constantly eroding the survivors' retinal nerves and brain sanity.
In the depths of the forest in front of Longshan No. 1, a translucent worm with a diameter of one meter appeared. It was unknown how long it was. Inside the body of the translucent worm, a corrosive blue-green fluorescent reaction could be vaguely seen.
In the distance to the side of the Infinity, a black shadow larger than a fog spider swam over at a very fast speed and swept away at an extremely fast speed, silently, and no one knew what its purpose was. It was like a low-frame-rate creature in a silent movie, but every time it appeared, there would be dense swarms of orb-shaped spiders gushing out from the woods below like a tide.
Chen Sixuan was holding the Meteorite 3 and leading Miao Lu and other members of the reconnaissance team on the roof of the Infinity vehicle, continuously firing at the forest. When a strange rustling sound came, she immediately turned around and fired a shot behind her. Under the gunfire, she saw a strange giant snake with human hands climbing on a tall ancient tree in the woods!
In front of the headlights of Longshan No. 1, a strange humanoid creature ran past quickly with a sinister laugh.
In the Red Rose Convoy at the rear, in the swamp outside, countless strange shadows slowly emerged from the mud and water, and in the Ocean carriage that had already sunk into the water, there were survivors who were strangely pulled out directly from the broken window. While the teammates were rescuing them, they saw the horrific creatures growing on the rotting corpses through the flashing lights inside the car.
On the Hell Warriors' side, there were countless bee-like buzzing sounds in the sky. When Dadong's flamethrower ignited the forest, a large number of strange "beehives" with human corpses appeared in the forest.
Apart from those dark creatures that looked like insects or beasts, most of them were forms of existence that the survivors could not understand. They only knew that those 'things' were moving, approaching, and devouring humans...
From the front to the rear of the car, the 15-kilometer front was filled with fighting, with large numbers of deaths and strange events occurring frequently. From the time they entered the Star Abyss to now, only a few minutes had passed, yet it felt like time was incredibly slow.
Lin Xian and KIKI were both wearing power armor. When the automatic explosion-proof door of the Infinity train opened, an extremely cold feeling came towards them.
It was not pure temperature, but a kind of spatial oppression that made one's scalp tingle, making people feel great confusion and consciousness shock in an instant.
Lin Xian felt dizzy for a moment, then without hesitation, he rushed forward, stepping on the black humus soil in the forest.
At this time, Qian Dele, Monica, and the people from Longshan No. 1 also went out. Queen Mo unhooked from Infinity and drove forward, and the spare all-terrain motorcycle of Longshan No. 1 in front also drove back.
Bang bang bang~
The carriages at the rear kept moving backwards, the situation was extremely critical!
Uh ah, hiss!!
More and more carriages at the rear began to sink into the deep water. Screams and cries for help sounded intermittently in the headphones, along with the eerie shouts from the dark forest around them. The approaching monsters that made people's SAN values drop wildly, the hum of the G3 electromagnetic railgun resounded through the night sky, and the firepower of the two 1130s on the left and right were flattening all the trees in the forest!
"Starting from here, we will first build the guide slope, then the rails, and the steel structure in the middle will maintain the track gauge to pull the Infinity up!!"
Lao Mo and Sun Yuzhen also rushed out of the car to help. Sun Yuzhen spread her wings and flew directly into the sky. She looked into the distance and quickly said to Lin Xian: "Deploy to the 3 o'clock direction. The terrain over there is a ridge rushing area. There must be hard soil. We can drive into the open area there!"
Huahuahua, KIKI operated the Silver Blade Torrent to form a storm on one side of the forest to block the monsters whose shapes could not be seen at all. At the same time, he had to use the telekinesis shield to resist and lift up the lead vehicle of the Infinity, the Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive, so that Lin could build a metal guide slope below.
Countless materials flew out of Lin Xian's hands, and sections of steel rails and iron piles continued to form and fall down. Liang Lei and the building fought hard while leading the engineering team to hammer the iron piles into the ground.
On both sides of the joint train, there were thousands of combatants wearing power armor. They were either holding weapons and shooting wildly at both sides, or killing their way into the monster formation under the cover of the train's firepower.
In less than 5 minutes, Li Guangwen, Luo Luo, Amin, Shuqin, Miao Lu, Lu Chang and others had inexplicably felt a sense of bloodlust. Lin Xian naturally also felt this strong dark invasion force constantly bombarding his reason. Even though he was wearing the Black Hawk power armor, he was sweating profusely at this moment. All the materials were madly poured out to create the track.
Buzz~
The Longshan No. 1 all-terrain vehicle drove up at this time, and the two vehicles together with the Queen Mo mounted the Infinity on the tractor hook. After Lin had made the tracks under the first three tractors of the Infinity, he handed the rest of the work to the track laying vehicle of the Longshan No. 1. What he had to do left was to go with KIKI to make temporary guide plates under the other tractors with power output in the rear to increase ground grip and allow most of the traction locomotives to output power at the same time. Only then would there be a chance to pull all the trains forward at one go.
As time passed, the gap between the Infinity and the Joker convoy in the rear became larger and larger. Qian Dele and Xiao Meng's team were killing each other. Dozens of white humanoid monsters quickly rushed into the convoy, taking away many lives. Qian Dele was shouting frantically at this time, asking everyone to disperse their formation and concentrate their firepower.
"Xiao Meng, there's someone hiding behind!"
Boom!
The metal storm of heavy weapons on the train had almost razed the large tracts of forest on both sides to the ground. Thousands of trees fell down, and in the dark shadows, a white monster was running towards them with a roar. A large number of bullets created countless white waves on its body, as if after being shattered, it twisted into a human shape again, and only after being covered by a large amount of firepower did it completely shatter, leaving only white maggots wriggling all over the ground.
Xiao Meng rushed over and picked up a flamethrower to burn all the white maggots.
"careful!"
"Start the high-voltage curtain wall!"
"The carriage can handle it, move back!"
The track-laying locomotive for Longshan No. 1 is already in place, while two all-terrain traction locomotives have been connected to Infinity.
“Okay!”
On Lin Xian's side, tracks had already been laid under the traction locomotives of about ten train fleets. Behind them were swamps and shallow waters, so even if he wanted to lay more tracks, it would be impossible.
"Brother Shi, Monica, Teacher Chen, get ready!"
"Lin Xian!" At this moment, KIKI, who was in the middle section of the united train, pointed to the swamp behind and the train carriage section that was about to sink further away. There, flames were blazing, and many survivors who fell into the water were struggling with strange creatures. Above the vast body of water, a giant creature as big as a mountain was tumbling.
boom!
Accompanied by a violent vibration, a huge dark green shadow rushed out of the shallows of the lake and swept across, instantly swallowing dozens of people. At the same time, the huge body crashed into the train carriages, and several carriages were instantly deformed and twisted.
It turned out to be a giant lake monster!
Seeing this scene, Lin Xian took a deep breath and shouted in the communicator:
"All cars start their engines!"
Buzz! Woo!!!!!!
Chen Sixuan, who had already returned to the cab of Infinity, gradually increased the operating power of the four traction locomotives. The motor engines roared wildly, and the entire train, along with the temporary rails, sank several centimeters underground. Then, with a metallic hissing sound, it finally stopped all the trains behind from retreating, and then began to roll slowly forward.
At one moment, the two all-terrain traction locomotives, together with a dozen on-track traction locomotives including the Infinity, exerted force at the same time, pressing the segmented track below and began to move forward. The originally twisted carriages were straightened, and the joints between the carriages made rubbing sounds.
The Union train is moving forward!
"Don't push the power to the maximum all at once, otherwise the drive wheels will slip!" Lao Mo said to Chen Sixuan in the car at this time.
"I see."
Buzz buzz buzz
Countless towing ropes were pulled straight at this time. This joint train built temporary rails under the violent attack in the darkness and moved forward. The Red Rose Team, as well as the Sail, Great Victory, Iron Fortress and other teams trapped in the swamp at the rear also found that their trains were being forced forward from the muddy swamp by a huge and violent force. Because of the strong friction between the swamp and the lake water, the metal structures at the connection between the shore carriages and the swamp carriages made strange noises, and even continuous explosions were heard.
KIKI and Lin Xian walked one in front and one behind, one used telekinesis to lift several carriages while the other tightened the connecting fasteners, and finally began to speed up the escape.
In the swamp and the black lake, countless survivors have died as the front line collapsed.
"Lin Xian, according to this situation, even if we escape from the lake, we can't speed up and get out of the dark area. There is only one way!"
At this time, Ding Junyi, wearing power armor, flew high into the sky under the leadership of Sun Yuzhen to help observe the surrounding terrain, while Brother Huo flew beside them to protect the two.
Ding Junyi said in a cold voice
"According to the theory of the territory, we can only get a chance to breathe if we stay where we are and kill everyone in the surrounding area. If we run through the Star Abyss with the mark all the way, our chances of survival are very small."
Without a track, it can't run at all, and it can't run fast, so it can only be processed on the spot.
"But this is not the worst..."
At this moment, Ding Junyi looked through the black fog at the outlines of the distant mountains and rivers, those moving mountains, and even a broken bay in the sky!
The bay looked incomplete. It was just fan-shaped waves at a certain angle, with deep sea and shallow sea intertwined, and the hollow place in the middle was a dark empty space. It was like... a world from another dimension.
