Chapter 333: Close the front!
boom!
A loud roar of a huge wave exploded in the direction of the Black Lake. Lin Xian and the others who were rapidly building the railway here immediately looked back, and saw a huge black shadow vaguely rising into the sky under the darkness. At the same time, a large number of panic calls came from the communication band.
"Big snake!!"
“Run!!”
"Definitely S-rank!"
Hearing the countless shouts in the communicator, Lin Xian's heart shuddered. Not only him, but everyone else also saw the shadow of the behemoth. A huge sense of oppression arose, making people's breathing stagnate.
If it was really an S-class, Lin Xian obviously didn't think that he could kill it with just his gravitational lens. There were tens of thousands of people in Xilan City, plus the firepower of the city defense base, the Seventh Survey Corps, and an Eva-01, who worked together to kill an S-class scout, and now they only have a few hundred trains and thousands of people.
Therefore, the only option left for them was to quickly gather firepower and build a defensive line. At the same time, as long as Lin Xian tested the survivors from the rear carriage for the dark mark, he would be able to determine the exact level of the monster.
The more critical the moment, the more we cannot allow chaos to occur.
"What a big guy! We might be in danger this time."
Standing on a high place, Shi Diyuan had a stern look in his eyes and a low voice, which was unusually pessimistic.
"drink!"
Ning Jing punched a twisted monster that crawled up from under the car. A huge airflow from her fist rushed down, and then she landed next to Shi Diyuan and said solemnly: "The battle line must be narrowed immediately, otherwise we will be eaten along the way!"
Shi Diyuan nodded, and immediately led his men to rush to the top of a tall tree, and under the cover of several people, he began to command the personnel of each convoy to retreat.
After receiving command, those retreating and running convoys began to have a clear direction.
The temporary track of the traction team was getting deeper and deeper. While Lin Xian was building the track, the drone above his head was also automatically responding and helping him observe the surrounding terrain. He adjusted the curve of the track directly along the large tract of woods that had been burned by Brother Huo. His mechanical heart was running to its extreme, and a track fell on each of his left and right hands. Beside him was the escort camp composed of Infinity's Assault Group 1 and Group 2. KIKI and Brother Huo were fighting in the sky. The 1130 on the train had emptied its fourth round of ammunition. As soon as the track fell, Lao Mo, with bruises on his face, brought a group of people from the engineering team to help lay piles and consolidate the foundation. Then the iron wheels of Infinity rolled forward again.
There was continuous artillery fire in the dark forest, and raging fires were burning on all sides. Various strange creatures kept emerging from the flames and the depths of the darkness. On the Infinity vehicle, the light of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum flickered. With the suppression of the entire regiment's firepower, the dark mark weakened little by little, but as more strange creatures came out, the mark was rushed forward and hit again. The pressure of the fierce battle increased step by step.
Finally, all the sunken carriages of the Ocean and the Parrot were brought ashore. Large amounts of black water continued to flow out of the fallen carriages, along with all kinds of water monsters that had drilled into the carriages, big and small, alien insects, black leeches, and strange centipedes. The few remaining people in the two convoys had followed the people in the Red Rose and other convoys to retreat to the carriages at the rear.
"Use the flamethrower to burn these things to death!!"
"We are almost close to the assistant's protective circle, everyone hold on!!"
Hundreds of people gathered around the train, firing continuously and retreating. Several psychics who rushed into the jungle to fight with the strange body died after a few rounds. The main combat power of the two convoys had been basically lost, with only dozens of living forces left. They were in name only.
"Brother Huo, KIKI, the rear of the car has suffered too much damage, the monster wave may rush over, push it out!"
"Understood!" After hearing Lin Xian's words, KIKI and Brother Huo began to suppress the rear. The trains behind the joint convoy kept collapsing. This situation could easily lead to a chain reaction. This momentum must be stopped before a defensive line was formed.
Shi Diyuan also realized this, and immediately asked Ning Jing to bring Xiaoqing and others to support. Abai stood on the roof of Longshan No. 1, releasing laser beams under a group of guards.
Every time the dark red laser beam sweeps across, the pressure on that line of defense will suddenly drop. It can be said to be the ultimate killer weapon of Longshan No. 1!
The two trains in the shrinking convoy at the rear had basically lost power and were paralyzed. The outside of the carriages were covered with all kinds of aquatic plants and strange tentacles, which looked very scary.
Rumble! At this time, a sound of boiling mud and water was heard in the swamp. Everyone saw a huge shadow in the distance rushing towards them like a mountain, crushing trees and falling forests. Its green scales were flashing cold light, and its huge twisting body brought people great fear and oppression. In the dark night, under the gunfire of everyone, they could only see a huge mouth full of countless fangs rushing towards them.
"careful!!"
"It's the snake!"
"Fire at full strength!"
"Rocket launchers ready!"
Boom, boom, boom. For a moment, all the firepower of several convoys at the rear were angrily directed towards the huge black shadow that was attacking violently. Countless explosions and flames burst out. In the intersection of light and shadow, everyone could see the mouth of the abyss snake clearly. On the snake head, there were hundreds of scarlet eyes arranged in groups from large to small. Those eyes were shining coldly, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs. Many people's minds went blank for an instant, and even their minds began to become confused.
"Don't look into its eyes!!!"
"Fire Fist!"
The voices of KIKI and Brother Huo suddenly rang out in the sky, and in an instant a huge red fire fell from the sky. At the same time, an invisible mental wave directly wrapped up Lu Xingchen's high-temperature flames and exploded and rotated, and in an instant a huge hurricane was rolled up. The burning fireball turned into a high-temperature flame and merged into the hurricane tornado, forming a red fire tornado with a diameter of hundreds of meters and a height of hundreds of meters!
This was not the first time that the two of them had coordinated their moves. It could increase the range and temperature of Brother Fire's fire to a terrifying level. In an instant, a huge fire tornado almost illuminated the entire sky above the dark forest. The intense high temperature swallowed up all the trees within a few hundred meters, and a large number of strange creatures inside were roaring and twisting.
The head of the rushing green giant python was swallowed by the fire tornado. The scorching heat made it feel threatened. Suddenly, its body covered with green scales and strange coral thorns swept across, and an explosive shock wave poured out with countless dark invading black air, forcibly pushing the fire tornado back towards the direction of the train.
Seeing this, KIKI immediately put down all the silver blades, used both hands to control the telekinesis and pushed forward, trying to withstand the fire tornado.
At this time, Ning Jing and Xiao Qing rushed to the two sides of the fire tornado. Both of them were wearing power armor. One on the left and the other on the right, their leg thrusters worked in a cycle, and they stepped on the trees and leaped all the way. They actually rushed directly in front of the big snake and attacked the snake's head head-on.
"drink!"
Ning Jing used all her strength, raised her right fist high and punched directly at the scales under the jaw of the green giant python. The huge force in an instant directly shattered the hand armor of its power armor. This punch hit the green giant python, and a dark red blood pit with a diameter of about two meters appeared instantly, and the scales burst inch by inch!
On the other side, Xiao Qing's jet hook was nailed on a twisted coral thorn on the snake's head. The whole person swung over quickly, holding the gun blade upside down, and chopped down from the snake's head. Sparks and lightning flew, and the alloy gun blade was vibrated and buzzed, cutting a piece of scales and flesh on it.
But this giant python was so huge that the two men's iron-breaking and steel-slashing attacks did not seem to cause much trouble to the giant snake. Instead, the black mist that it continuously ejected carried a large amount of invasive force, causing the members of the Longshan team who came to support it to retreat again and again.
cluster!
At this moment, Lu Xingchen rushed out of the fire tornado at a high speed like a fire meteor, looking at the blue giant snake that was more than a kilometer long with only one section of its body exposed below.
"Monster, take my heavenly fire!"
Buzz buzz buzz, the infinite ring rotated at high speed, and the blue flames continued to roll into his hands. Lu Xingchen grabbed his right hand with his left hand, and a ball of high-temperature flame condensed in his right hand.
"God·Burning Flame Sword!"
Lu Xingchen pointed his right hand into a sword shape, accelerating the jet of flame in a spiral shape. Within half a breath, he blasted out a high-temperature fire sword that was dozens of meters long. The core of the flame was blue-white, and it ejected countless Mach rings.
Just listen, boom!
A huge sonic boom sounded.
The fire sword instantly shot towards the snake's head, and pierced through the giant snake's jaw directly, leaving a burning hole. He immediately controlled the fire sword to move, but the huge recoil force pushed him into the sky. At this time, KIKI grabbed him with his supernatural power. Lu Xingchen immediately steadied his right wrist and swung the sword, and the jetting fire sword fiercely cut towards the snake's head!
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the giant green python was injured, dozens of eyes on both sides of it suddenly burst into red light, and then the coral thorns on the snake's body spewed out a large amount of red smoke. The smoke was like a living thing, twisting into a thin shell covering the snake's body. When Lu Xingchen's fire sword cut it, there was no movement at all, and even the temperature disappeared at that moment.
"What is this? A protective shield?" KIKI was also dumbfounded when seeing this scene. No one could understand this strange situation. It didn't seem like being blocked, nor did it seem like being hit. The high-temperature flame seemed to disappear in an instant.
At this moment, a horrifying scene appeared in everyone's eyes. The giant green python was wrapped in red fog. Its huge body was winding in the dark forest. It looked weird and evil, which was creepy.
"withdraw!"
Seeing that the attack had no effect, Ning Jing immediately called Xiaoqing to retreat. At the same time, KIKI also pulled Huo Ge and retreated quickly.
Wow wow wow~
At this time, the giant red smoke snake began to meander forward, bypassing the track where the United Train passed, and wandered towards the distance of the forest. It seemed that it regarded the entire United Train as its prey and was lingering around ready for a fatal blow.
Seeing this, KIKI knew something was wrong and immediately said to Lin Xian
"That giant snake is trying to box us in."
“I see!”
Lin Xian's drone was keeping an eye on all directions at this time, and its brain and mechanical heart were working at high speed. As the defensive formation narrowed, the visibility of the black fog was enough to put every situation on the battlefield within his sight.
"Keep an eye on him, and close the front immediately!"
At the same time, Chen Sixuan and Sun Yuzhen had already rushed to the subsequent vehicle formation with Hell Black Chrysanthemum.
"Lin Xian, they are all marked as level 4, so that shouldn't be S-level!" Chen Sixuan shouted into the communicator.
Chen Sixuan's words at this time undoubtedly brought a piece of news that made Lin Xian, Shi Diyuan and others feel a little relieved. Human judgment may be wrong, but the concentration of the dark mark will never lie. No matter how this level is defined, it seems that the green python in the lake cannot reach the level of the black thorn in the cloud. In this battle, perhaps they really have a chance to survive!
At this time, Lin Xian, who had been making tracks all the way, finally circled out a circular track position, but he did not make a complete circle. Instead, he let the Longshan No. 1 track laying machine lay the inner circle in the opposite direction at the beginning. In this way, as long as the combined train was disconnected from the middle and towed by Longshan No. 1 towards the inner circle, the double-decker train position could be quickly formed and half the time could be saved, while preventing the entire circular position from being too large.
As expected, the trains were divided into two sections and moved in an arc, and a spiral train formation was quickly formed. The weaker and more damaged convoys in the rear were pulled to the inner ring, while the main convoy in the front and the one with the greatest firepower were in the outer ring. When a large number of people retreated to the center of the train formation, the two trains were like a steel barrier, giving a huge sense of security to the thousands of survivors behind. After they closed together, the area inside that had been burned out by flames became a temporary resting camp in this terrifying night, and all threats and strange tides unfolded around the circular train formation of several kilometers.
Because the Ocean and Parrot had been completely broken up, the carriages were filled with all kinds of strange entities. For safety reasons, Lin Xian directly uncoupled and abandoned the two trains of more than 30 carriages, the Ocean and Parrot, and then began to devour the living carriages for material supplies.
When the water-filled carriages were swallowed up, countless water-soaked daily necessities and the strange entities hiding inside jumped out, but were quickly strangled by the survivors who gathered around and were on high alert. Then the supplies were picked up and distributed by the remaining personnel of the two convoys, and then moved to the cars of other convoys without hesitation.
In this situation, the members of the convoy were no longer differentiated from each other and put their lives on the same front. Lin Xian also received material supplies at the same time.
As the temporary double-helix formation of the combined train was formed, hundreds of trains were connected head to tail like giant mechanical dragons, and the advantage of human clustering began to take shape!
"All convoys are divided into defensive areas. The genetically evolved people and mutants with power armor will be in the front, and other combatants will stay behind and pay attention to clearing aerial targets!" Lin Xian commanded loudly.
"The house staff, rescue the supplies and hide in the camp. Each convoy, move the ammunition to the front of the line, and cross-load the guns!"
"Luo Yang, take people to set up the high-voltage arc wall!"
"clear!"
Luo Yang immediately took a team and started the action.
"We'll help too." The technicians from other teams who were responsible for making defensive traps also took action.
Swoosh! Monica's whistling sword cut a deep trench in front of a position, and then ordered her men: "Light the fire trench!"
"Yes!" Her subordinates are also quite experienced.
Golden flashes rushed to the periphery of the front line. Qian Dele, with some unknown creature's flesh on his face, said coldly: "Xiao Meng, thermite grenade!"
Bang!
Napalm bombs and thermite iron waterfalls burned into an incandescent purgatory, burning the front of the defense line with a dazzling light. The fiercely burning flame trenches greatly weakened the offensive of the monsters in the dark forest.
All the rooftop turrets, machine guns, and missiles turned their firepower towards the outer perimeter of the front line. In just over an hour, this group of survivors quickly gathered together from the panic-stricken fear of death. When hundreds of trains formed a circular front line with a diameter of about 7 kilometers and 2 kilometers, the survivors all had support behind them.
The strong fighters were fighting on the front line under the cover of the powerful firepower of the vehicle-mounted weapons. Other support teams climbed onto the roof of the vehicle and operated machine guns and cannons to suppress the strange monsters from the dark forest. Anti-aircraft guns and various air-launched machine guns fired intensively into the sky. This circular defense line began to establish a firm defense position, suppressing the large and small strange monsters that rushed out of the forest with a metal storm hundreds of meters away!
"Fuck it, no matter where you come from, as long as you are carbon-based, there is nothing that my 12.7 can't break!" After the morale was boosted, a sturdy man holding a Gatling gun stood on the roof of the car and shouted angrily.
"Hold on, brothers! They can't get in!"
"Hurry up and carry the wounded in!"
"Use the incendiary tubes to set that entire hillside on fire to prevent them from climbing up!"
On the front line in the Infinity area, Shasha was driving the Vulcan and standing at the forefront, while Liang Lei from the building led the backbone of the assault team to neatly protect all twenty-seven carriages of the Infinity.
"Kill, kill, kill!!!" The Vulcan cannon roared and explosions continued. Sasha was now becoming more and more adept at operating the mecha. The group of rough guys in the assault team were all extremely surprised to see this little girl driving a mecha at the front.
"This girl is awesome!"
On the open space inside the front line, all the clerical staff of dozens of convoys urgently set up transportation routes out of the camp. A large number of wounded and rescued supplies were carried into the carriages for treatment. All convoys carried ammunition to the front line. No matter which direction, as long as someone shouted that there were no bullets, people from the rear would deliver them. Many younger boys and girls also rushed to help carry supplies and pick up every bullet shell on the battlefield.
Boom boom boom.
Above this circular steel line, anti-aircraft guns, vehicle-mounted howitzers, anti-aircraft guns, orbital electromagnetic guns, 1130, rocket launchers and missiles formed a dense crossfire network, tearing the night sky into tattered silk interwoven with red and dark blue. Outside the line, all were wearing Ijin City power armor and various powerful psychics. They were either holding heavy machine guns and plasma flamethrowers, or holding high-energy cutting weapons and using their superpowers to head-on resist the strange monsters that were charging at them.
beep!
On the Infinity, 1130's roar turned the large number of bat-shaped strange monsters that swooped down from the sky into a rain of minced meat.
Lin Xian was constantly decomposing and devouring the carriages of the Ocean and the Parrot. His current goal was mainly to solve the problem of materials for the manufacture of ammunition. The fully automatic bullet stamping machine was running frantically. A large number of picked up shells were gathered together and quickly put into the manufacturing process. His ears were filled with deafening sounds of gunfire and roars.
On the several kilometers of road from the lake to the front line, at least 500 people were killed in the Union train. This happened in less than two hours. It can be seen how tragic this encounter was.
However, after the train line was formed, the number of casualties began to slow down, and the powerful firepower suppressed those strange creatures in the dark night within a hundred meters of the train line.
At this time, everyone gradually adapted to the fear of the violent dark invasion. The strange creatures in this dark forest are not huge in number, but most importantly, they are strange and unpredictable. A large number of unknown large strange creatures and difficult-to-defend small monsters caught the survivors of the united train off guard. Those strange venoms and poisonous gases, unpredictable means of attack, all the strange creatures here are the first time that Lin Xian and others have encountered them. This is not a matter of level at all.
Faced with unknown means of attack, even if it is just a C-level weird entity, the threat is still huge.
Another reason why casualties did not increase was the 1,000 sets of Lone Wolf S tactical power armor. The high-tech battlefield situation awareness system, radar system and defense capability enabled each convoy to have a group of fighters who could block the first wave of offensive. Because of this, deaths did not occur like a landslide.
Lin Xian's side has now become the core [production base] of the entire defensive line. He is like a mobile spring, supplying an endless supply of firepower to thousands of people.
Countless bullets, materials, explosives, and power grids were manufactured in batches. Li Yi, Lao Mo, and a group of clerical staff and the children in the car continuously transported them to the front line. The two children, Xiaotian and Xiaole, worked very hard, as if they were not frightened at all by this world full of dark monsters.
Even the five-year-old Duoduo was crawling on the ground with a group of children, picking up the hot bullet casings that had fallen from the roof of the car, and putting them into the small bucket in his hand with great skill.
Lin Xian had a complicated expression when he saw this scene. These children were too young, and he really couldn't bear to let them go out of the car to do such things in this environment. Just when Lin Xian was about to ask Li Yi to call these children back, he frowned inexplicably.
The invasion of darkness here is so severe, but it seems that no child has suffered any abnormality. The worst case scenario is fainting and vomiting.
Are children's mental strength stronger than that of adults?
This thought flashed through Lin Xian's mind. At this moment, Chen Sixuan's voice came from the headset: "Lin Xian, the big snake is approaching!"
Lin Xian stood up in an instant. The reason why he did not join the battle directly was that he was making ammunition while waiting for this guy to appear. He immediately called a few of the strongest psychics in the team: "KIKI, Brother Huo, Qian Dele, Monica, Brother Shi, Sister Ning, call Abai, let's work together to stop the giant snake!"
Success or failure depends on this one move. Lin Xian doesn't know whether he can kill all the strange creatures in this endless dark forest. As long as the giant snake covered with red smoke is lurking around them, all of them will not escape the fate of being marked as level 4 and destroyed.
