Chapter 394: Night Falls (12,000 monthly tickets requested)
After Ye Lan announced that Dawn City was about to launch a counterattack against the darkness, the atmosphere in Dawn City fell into extreme busyness and panic before the war.
All the survivors, disaster victims, and convoys were gathered in the old city area within the No. 1 city wall. The entrances to the 24 underground air defense fortifications, under the management of Phoenix officials and the military, were filled with people preparing to take refuge underground. Most of them were the elderly, children, pregnant women, and some disabled and weak people. Before the desperate battle, anyone who had some self-protection ability, regardless of whether they were men or women, spontaneously gave up taking refuge and chose to join the city defense sequence.
In the crowd, a man squatted down and stuffed a bag of food wrapped in old newspapers into his son's hands.
"Listen to your mother." He ruffled the child's hair, his voice hoarse.
His wife grabbed his sleeve tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh: "Hide away... We'll wait for you to come back!"
"Don't worry." The man smiled and looked at the large number of people behind him who had joined the defense battle: "There is no place to hide. We must defend the city."
On the other side, a middle-aged woman squatted on the ground with a gun on her back and tied her little daughter's shoelaces, then put her hand in the hand of another boy who was only seven or eight years old.
"Xiao Jie, you are the older brother, you have to take good care of your sister, okay?"
The boy had a childish face. He held his sister's hand tightly and nodded woodenly.
"Mom, what about you?" The little daughter looked up, looking uneasy.
"Be good, mom is helping out outside and will come to you soon."
The woman immediately wiped away her tears and turned away. Beside her, members of the Phoenix Order's emergency response team were pulling a lame middle-aged man.
"Let me go!"
The man had a hot temper. He used his spear as a crutch to struggle free and roared, "I can still shoot. I don't need to go to the shelter. Even if I die at the city gate, I can still trip the monsters!"
…
Convoys of all sizes received ammunition and weapons from the defense supply points of the Phoenix and the garrison. Under the arrangement of the Phoenix Defense Command Center, the area within the city was composed of nearly 30,000 troops to form the urban defense line. Its main purposes were threefold. The first was to assist in the city's air defense defense, the second was to control the occurrence of abnormalities in the city, and the third was that if the No. 1 city wall was lost, this part of the force could rely on the street defense line to fight street battles, while blocking the monster tide from attacking the No. 2 direction, dividing the battlefield and covering the evacuation of other survivors' convoys.
In addition to the elderly, the weak and the disabled who entered the underground shelters, there were nearly 1.4 million survivors in the city. They were composed of various convoys or individual groups, and spontaneously joined the defense lines of hundreds of blocks. At the same time, a large number of people assisted the garrison and the Iron Guard Brigade in digging firearms tunnels outside the city, transporting ammunition and supplies, laying mines, and repairing equipment.
In the sky, dense transport drones were like a sky curtain. After the underground fortification network was blocked, they transported weapons and ammunition towards the city walls through air routes.
The Phoenix Society has formulated a defensive system with double city walls and joint defense of heaven and earth. Ye Lan and commanders at all levels are stationed in the control hall of the Twin Star TC City Ring, which has been set up as a temporary command post. Important troops have been dispatched to protect the city ring.
Woo woo woo~
The survivors who were building fortifications and pulling barbed wire in the block camp could see countless large rotor transport ships whizzing through the air, carrying powerful war mechas to the front line of the city wall, in addition to the Iron Guard-3, Guard X and Vulcan series.
Boom, boom, the clouds were torn apart, and the vortex engines of a large number of C-99 'Hercules' transport aircraft made a deafening roar. The steel cables dropped, and 8 interstellar raiders as big as skyscrapers were hoisted and slowly passed through the high-rise buildings in the city. These weapons were mainly placed in the core encirclement areas in the south and west of the city to deal with the S-level frontal siege!
In the inner city area, all open spaces, high-rise buildings, and towers have been set up as air defense positions and high-energy firepower projection areas. Several energy centers are buried deep underground in the starport, providing energy for the entire city and automatic weapons. More than 100,000 attack drones are now being charged and replenished with weapons. A large number of drone engineers are urgently carrying out fault maintenance. In order to ensure smooth command and communication signals under the invasion of extreme darkness, thousands of signal relay towers have been set up in the city.
"The team of psychics consists of members from the North American Defense Front, the Night Walker Alliance, the Seraph Division, and some civilian organizations. We have divided them into three categories and multiple groups of special combat teams."
In the command center, General Xu stood in front of the holographic map with a stern expression.
"The first category: composed of people with high mobility and high self-preservation abilities such as flying, super speed, wind, fire, lightning, and light. Commanded by Minister Luo, they are responsible for the frontline response to S-level disasters, the main force containment, support and intelligence collection, and at the same time, the city's high-altitude and high-speed joint defense assault!"
"The second category: mainly composed of people with abilities such as laser, magnetic storm, strange eye, earth and stone, resonance, sound wave, or long-range damage. They are commanded by Team Leader Qi. This type of people has strong long-range killing power and is responsible for killing the monster tide and large strange entities behind the defense line of the city wall and air defense position!"
"The third category is all giants, blood, demons, beasts, metal skins, evil bones, invisibles, energy gatherers, and all genetically evolved people with strong physical skills and mobility. These melee superpowers mainly assist the city in assisting the defense lines of each block and the underground shelters in defense and protection work."
"I agree with General Xu's tactical arrangement. Our 83rd Iron Guard Brigade will be responsible for the four defense sectors in the west of the city. The mecha wing and the special armed power battalion will be deployed in echelons. The primary goal is to concentrate on S-level and city wall defense first..."
Before Huo Jiang, commander of the Iron Guard Brigade, could finish his words, Lu Tianye interrupted him immediately.
"There are 12 sectors in the city. The main attack direction from Xingyuan is 5, 7, and 8. The six defense sectors are from No. 5 in the south of the city to No. 10 in the west. You have more than 40,000 people in the Iron Guard Brigade to defend four sectors. Do you want my 130,000 garrison troops to defend two sectors? Or should we defend the east and north of the city?"
"That's not what I meant. The main force in the west of the city is Star Abyss No. 5, while you have Star Abyss No. 7 and No. 8. Isn't this distribution unreasonable?"
"It's unreasonable!" Lu Tianye refuted solemnly: "There are corpse chasers in the No. 5 Star Abyss. Don't think I don't know what you are planning. Our garrison has the most dealings with the No. 5 Star Abyss. The hard bones must be handed over to me!"
"What's there to be afraid of? My mecha squadron is no pushover!" Huo Jiang said immediately.
"My second mecha division and Thor's hammer electromagnetic cannon array are also at a disadvantage!" Lu Tianye was not to be outdone.
Unexpectedly, at the pre-war command meeting, the commanders of the two iron armies clashed over the issue of who should be the main force. Looking at the dispute between the two generals, the Phoenix Society's top leaders all looked at each other in bewilderment.
"alright."
At this time, Ye Lan interrupted the quarrel. Her voice was not loud, but everyone seemed to be able to hear her clearly.
She stood up, picked up the command pen and pointed it at the circular wall sector of Dawn City, and said
"Our judgment is based on the situation, but we cannot completely solidify our thinking. It only takes a blink of an eye for darkness to cover the entire city. We cannot arbitrarily assume that these strange entities will attack from these directions based on last night's offensive."
Ye Lan looked at everyone and said, "All of you generals are commanders with rich experience in informationized warfare. Although we are dealing with strange entities now, we cannot treat them as monsters without intelligence. Human informationized tactics are precisely our advantage, and we can make good use of it."
Lu Tianye nodded after hearing this, glanced at Huo Jiang, and nodded, "Yes, the direction of the three star abysses in the west and south of the city is indeed an important defense zone. Our mecha troops have strong firepower and defense, but lack mobility. The garrison army and the Iron Guard Brigade can deploy the mecha troops here first, but our infantry forces and special armed power battalions will still be deployed in the 12 sectors of the city. After the battle, we will use radar and the computing power of the Galaxy Heart to determine the high-risk battlefield, and then conduct mobile dispatch."
Huo Jiang also agreed with this arrangement: "The number of troops that can be deployed on the city wall is limited. We must use all carriers and armed armored vehicles as mobile mobilization tools between defense sectors so that we can respond quickly."
"Yes, the main roads and blocks in the city must be unobstructed to ensure the delivery of troops and ammunition!"
"And the most important point is that we must ensure the safety of the Twin Star Towers and the City Ring!"
"I think the Emperor God Group can be deployed in this direction..."
For a time, a war situation meeting on a massive defensive war that concerned the survival of millions of people and even all of humanity was being carried out in full swing.
On the other side, at the Star City Orbital Station, the backbones led by the Infinite Alliance and Silent City were also holding an emergency meeting.
In order to carry out outer space operations, Shinji Mochizuki took the initiative and generously provided Lin Xian with a set of interstellar-grade power armor, which is currently the highest level of individual combat equipment in the interstellar army. It is equipped with a small plasma propulsion system, 2 main thrusters on the back (single thrust 50 tons) + 4 foot vector nozzles, level 7 bulletproof level, and a survival support system that includes liquid oxygen reserves and poison gas filtration systems that support space/underwater, as well as a medical module for nano-hemostatic spray and automatic injection of adrenaline.
This set of armor is quite expensive, but it doesn't seem to matter to Shinji Mochizuki.
"Thank you." Lin Xian was quickly testing the various operating modules of the power armor at this time. He didn't have much time and had to act immediately, so he didn't have time to deploy the command and deployment operations on the Infinity side and could only hand it over to Jian Xuwei, Chen Sixuan, Jiang Yun, Shi Diyuan and others.
"No big deal, I have my own purpose as well." Mochizuki Shinji smiled calmly.
"I know. You want me to collect various spatial data outside the Sky Curtain Screen for you. You don't need to tell me this. The Phoenix Society has also made preparations." Lin Xian said.
"Lin Xian." KIKI looked at him and said with a complicated expression: "You...be careful."
Lin Xian nodded and said, "You too, success or failure depends on this one move. We have all gone through so many life and death situations. It would be hypocritical to say anything more."
After saying that, he took a deep look at KIKI, Chen Sixuan and the others and said, "All of you stay alive!"
"Brother Lin, take care!"
"Captain Lin!"
"Lin Xian."
"Captain Lin!"
"Brother Lin..."
"Captain Lin, we'll be waiting for you to come back!"
Countless people came over with concerned expressions, including Shi Diyuan, Ning Jing, Xiao Qing, A Bai, Qian Dele, Monica, Jian Xuwei, Jian Zeyang, Jiang Yun, Shu Qin, Dalou, Shasha, Lv Chang, Miao Lu, Xiao Yuan, Li Yi, Lao Mo, Sun Yuzhen, Mo Xiaotian, Ding Junyi, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Luo Luo Amin, Li Guangwen...
"Everyone, take care. When dawn comes, I will lead everyone into the Pacific Ocean!"
Countless eyes converged on him. Lin Xian looked at the time, then took a deep breath, and focused his mind on the flashing bullet between his brows.
In an instant!
Swish!
There was a sound of space explosion, a whirlwind blew up, and Lin Xian disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Chen Sixuan looked at the figure with a serious look for a few seconds, and then quickly determined her expression: "Let's start the action too!"
Shinji Mochizuki is surrounded by core members such as Shun Sensuku, Ran Amano, Ryunosuke Takahashi and Shiori.
Shun Senju's AC mecha controls a ground force of more than a thousand heavy mechas and an air force of three hundred flying tactical mechas. At the same time, tens of thousands of drones in the Silent City are all fighting under the control of Shinji Mochizuki's core center.
This time, Mochizuki Shinji came, not only to give Lin Xian a power armor, but also to support the Infinity with a large number of armored weapons, ammunition, drones, and even a Star Raider mech, which was standing in the square of the Star City Orbital Station.
In this regard, Shinji Mochizuki said
"This is what Lin asked me to build after he obtained the blueprints of the Interstellar Army's mecha system."
"Lin Xian asked you to build it?" Chen Sixuan frowned and asked, "Who did you ask to build it?"
Shinji Mochizuki now pointed at the shortest girl in the crowd.
Shasha widened her eyes and pointed at her nose and said, "Brother Lin asked me to drive the Star Raider!?"
"Aren't you a mecha pilot with a level 4 commonality coefficient?" Qian Suxun asked with a smile.
"Of course I am!!"
Sasha stood up with an excited look on her face at this time, and immediately rushed to the window, looking at the large mecha standing in the center of the square outside. It was 60 meters tall and weighed 4,665 tons. Her eyes lit up.
"Wow! Brother Lin, give me a Gundam!!"
"Wow, this big guy looks like it has quite a lot of firepower." Shi Diyuan said in surprise.
"It's so cool!" Luo Yang and others exclaimed.
"Don't be too excited. You have an important mission to perform when you drive this thing." KIKI hooked his little finger and used telekinesis to hook Sasha, whose eyes were almost glued to the nuclear power engine of the mecha.
"The plan is this. All the old, weak, and sick people on board will cooperate with the Phoenix Society to move the underground facilities. Then..." Jian Xuwei opened the holographic map and lit up an aerial light rail route that encircles the city. Then she said, "The joint train will be led by the Infinity and will conduct mobile guerrilla warfare along this ring track, making full use of the firepower configuration of our trains."
"Superpowers, KIKI, Lu Xingchen, Dalou, Sun Yuzhen, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Li Guangwen, Qian Dele, and Abai will all join the Phoenix Club's superpower team to assist."
"But that's not all. Captain Shi and Chen Sixuan will leave cars to guard the joint train for defense. The joint train's firepower command will be carried out by Captain Chen and Captain Shi. Shuqin, Lu Chang, Miao Lu, Ning Jing, Xiaoqing, and Luoluo Amin will all be divided into different tactical teams and deployed in different sections of the joint train. On the alliance side, Jiang Yun and Ren Huiyan will be responsible for the defense of the block positions together with the Hongyuan Merchant Alliance, the New Era Engineering Corps, the Iron Shield Fleet and the Burning Phoenix. We have too many people, and these are all large car groups. We need to rely on large-scale fortifications, so we will be separated."
"Then it's the Star City Orbital Station. The Sky Train doesn't have defensive firepower yet, so it can't take off. So Monica and I will lead 4,000 troops to defend the orbital station, protect the Sky Train, and set up air defense positions at the same time!"
"The last one is this Star Raider." Jian Xuwei looked at Shasha and said, "Shasha, we have prepared a transport trailer. You need to drive this Star Raider and follow the train to conduct guerrilla warfare. The most important thing is that if there is a problem with the track, you will be needed to protect the joint train together with the transport drone deployed by Lin Xian. KIKI and Jiang Yun may be able to support us in this regard, but in a crisis situation, when we lack heavy firepower and mobility, we will need you to take action."
Sasha's eyes widened when she heard this, and then she nodded: "I understand."
"So this train will always go around the city?" Monica asked.
"That's right, mobile guerrilla warfare!"
"That's a great idea." On the other side, Shinji Mochizuki and the others also approved of the plan and said, "This can really bring out the advantages of your train, but the only drawback is that it will be troublesome if the track is interrupted."
"Since the track is broken, we will rely on the train as a fortress to resist." Chen Sixuan said at this time.
Shi Diyuan crossed his arms and nodded: "Yes, such a long train and weapons can only exert their firepower when they are maneuvered, which is better than stopping at the track station."
"Then let's act immediately." KIKI's eyes were stern. After a great battle, she had had enough rest and her condition had reached its peak. After the battle at Mount Targon, the peak scale of her supernatural powers seemed to have achieved a great breakthrough.
Jiang Yun nodded: "Everyone take care, it's dangerous tonight, I hope everyone can stand here safely after dawn!"
Crash!
At once, everyone started to move.
Li Yi, Lao Mo, with all the women, children and clerical staff, began to rush to the underground shelter. Chen Sixuan originally wanted to ask Director Ding to go to the shelter together, but Ding Junyi refused, saying that she needed to be stationed in the Infinity's scientific research carriage and planting carriage to study and protect disaster plants such as the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Cuo and Blood Vine. At the same time, she also asked Xiao Yuan Miaolu to pick all the ripe green plants and fruits and distribute them to the pre-war personnel of the Infinity Alliance in front of the station.
Buzz!
The Infinity's Giant Whale 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive started at this time. Under the control of Chen Sixuan, together with Shi Diyuan, it carried a total of more than 3,000 combat personnel from the joint train onto the city light rail loop line. On the roof of the train, the G-3 electromagnetic rail gun, 1130, YJ anti-aircraft gun and automatic artillery were all raised, and all the weapons on the train were exposed.
Soon, this fully armed train began to move slowly along the ring track. Sasha sat in the cockpit of the Star Hunter mecha. The neural operating system was connected, and the thousands-ton large mecha roared to its feet. She was filled with excitement and quickly became familiar with the operation. She stood on the rear carrier platform of the joint train and adjusted the firepower all the way.
Chen Sixuan stood on the roof, holding Meteorite 3, constantly observing the situation of the surrounding buildings. At this moment, she looked up at the sky, her beautiful face filled with worry.
"Lin Xian, you must come back safely!"
Shu Qin and Ning Jing are leading the action team to deploy firepower in each carriage at this time. Everyone on the entire train is maintaining smooth communication. The entire train is filled with highly mobile team members wearing power armor. They will rely on the train's armor and rapid mobility to deliver firepower along the line.
Shinji Mochizuki led his team back to Silent City. In this defense battle of Dawn City, Silent City and warships including the Sky-Suppressing Ship, the North American United Front Fleet, and the Iron Guard Brigade Fleet formed an air defense force. The main defense target was the atmospheric creature from the sky!
The crowd was busy and tense. Li Yi, who was pregnant, carefully checked the armor on her husband Liang Lei. She didn't give him too many instructions, but just told him not to worry about her.
Mo Xiaotian and Mo Xiaole bid farewell to their mother Sun Yuzhen and followed their grandfather Lao Mo into the underground shelter.
On the other side, Hu Lushou was also preparing to enter the underground shelter.
This guy didn't have much fighting power. He wore two layers of bulletproof vests, which made his power armor look a little bloated.
"Wife, otherwise, I won't go in." At the entrance of the underground shelter, Hu Lushou grinned and said to Sun Chang, "I am a former deputy captain of a transport ship and a combat model. Would it be inappropriate for me to hide in the air-raid shelter with women and children?"
"Are you sure?" Sun Chang glanced at him calmly, and slapped his power armor with her hand. The huge force made Hu Lushou take two steps back: "It's going to be a fierce battle tonight. There are four S-level monsters. Any one of them can crush you to death."
Hu Lushou swallowed nervously when he heard that, but when he caught a glimpse of Sun Chang's eyes, he suddenly felt confident and straightened his chest.
"No, no, I won't go. I won't go if I say I won't go. A grown man's words are as firm as a nail. Besides, when humanity is in danger, how can a man hide behind a child?"
After saying that, he picked up a pulse cannon and walked straight towards the Infinite Alliance's convoy defense team.
Sun Chang frowned upon seeing this, and wanted to say something, but stopped herself, so she could only follow.
On a transport ship, KIKI, Lu Xingchen, Dalou, Sun Yuzhen, Luo Yang, Liang Lei, Li Guangwen, Qian Dele, Abai and other powerful psychics began to rush towards the psychic combat team. Along the way, Lu Xingchen closed his eyes and looked very old.
Dalou was carrying his steel-cutting sword on his back and wiping the Gatling gun. He looked at Lu Xingchen with a puzzled expression, and then poked him with his elbow, but saw that he didn't respond. Then he looked at Qian Dele and KIKI opposite him.
KIKI smiled and said, "This guy must be thinking about what posture and move name he will use to appear."
Qian Dele shrugged: "Does it matter?"
"It's very important to him."
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Xingchen closed his eyes and shook his head, changing his usual middle school attitude and said: "In the battle of Xilan City, more than 40,000 people were killed or injured. Although we have the power of the God of Fire, it is useless. This battle is a battle for the survival of the human race. How can we play it lightly? The names of the moves are not important now. I just hope that more people can survive tonight. If the night is dark, I will use the fire of burning stars to burn through this eternal night with my own hands!!!"
Hearing this, KIKI, Qian Dele and others all looked serious. Dasha at the side reached out and patted Lu Xingchen on the shoulder: "Brother, I believe you."
"Brother Huo, come on, our powers are also getting stronger!" Luo Yang said nervously but seriously, "As long as we keep hope, we will be able to do it."
"No matter what kind of monster it is, just kill it." Liang Lei straightened his spine: "Anyway, we don't have any way out. It doesn't matter if it's a C-level, B-level, or A-level monster, we can break even if we kill one, and we can make a lot of money if we kill two, right?"
"That makes a lot of sense!" Li Guangwen swallowed and clenched his fists.
Ah Bai sat beside him in silence, and Li Guangwen also said to him
"Hey, man, your laser beam is awesome, just shoot it at that big guy!"
Abai nodded: "Okay...Okay."
At this time, in the north of the city, in an old neighborhood that had become ruins, a passage suddenly opened up on the ground. Dozens of well-armored and well-armed federal [Night Iron Shield] series 8-wheeled all-terrain armored base vehicles quickly drove out of the passage, and then drove directly towards the far north of the city without looking back.
In one of the core vehicles, the interior was brightly lit and luxuriously equipped. Wen Dong and Li Jian were fully armed and had frowns on their faces.
Boom!
Li Jian slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth, "It's all that f*cking guy named Lin Xian who messed up our recruitment meeting. Now my mom is being controlled by the Phoenix Society, and even Wanderer No. 1's plan has completely gone to waste!"
"Okay!"
Wen Dong's expression was uncertain: "What's the point of saying this now? You should be content with still having a life!"
"But……"
"Then do you have any way to get all of this back?"
Li Jian gritted his teeth at this moment, but couldn't utter a word.
Wen Dong immediately looked at a young man who was deep in thought and said:
"Chairman Zhou, all the core members that can be mobilized from the Night Patrol Regiment and the City Defense Battalion are here. Although they are small in number, their strength and equipment are top-notch."
The young man had a handsome face and a brain-computer interface behind his head. Although he had powerful supernatural powers, his life breath seemed a little disordered. This person was none other than Zhou Mingyuan after he used mycelium to transform his body.
After Wen Dong finished speaking, he looked at a freezer compartment at the back of the carriage. Out of caution, Zhou Mingyuan also brought his original body with him.
Seeing the middle-aged politician in the freezer, Wen Dong just sneered in his heart. He and Li Jian both knew that although the body Zhou Mingyuan transferred to had angel-level peak supernatural powers, it would not survive for more than a month. By then, the personnel and materials of the entire convoy would naturally fall into the hands of his Wen family. With this foothold, they still had a possibility of turning things around.
However, Wen Dong did not have the mood to imagine these things in advance at the moment. The most urgent thing was to quickly escape from Dawn City, a place of trouble that was about to be destroyed!
"Um."
Zhou Mingyuan nodded at this time, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes: "It's just something outside of my body."
"Hurry up, we have to reach Qingbo before dark. There are quite a few convoys there, we can take this opportunity to merge some of them."
"Merge?" Li Jian, the young man, muttered, "What if they don't agree?"
Zhou Mingyuan smiled faintly: "Young man, the ancients once said that no matter how the world changes, everything remains the same. Strength is the foundation of power, and power is the way to open up everything. When you have absolute power, are you still afraid that you can't forge a throne of power?"
After saying this, he slowly clenched his fist, sensing a powerful fluctuation of supernatural power. The gloom on his face faded a little, and instead, a feeling of relief rose up.
Li Jian frowned slightly when he heard this, and nodded in approval.
"That's right, but I don't know if the Phoenix Society's global broadcast is so serious or not." At this time, Li Jian was a little worried: "If we lose this battle, will there really be no Dawn?"
"snort."
Zhou Mingyuan sneered at the words and said, "Just listen to what the politicians say."
After he finished speaking, his eyes flashed with a bit of coldness: "If it weren't for Chu Zhaonan's actions, Shuguang City would have at least tens of millions of people."
“What’s the use of having a large population?”
Li Jian looked puzzled: "Isn't it the end of being swallowed by Xingyuan?"
"You don't understand. The bigger the size, the more resources there are. Research on dark invasions and human superpowers has grown rapidly in a short period of time. Things will work out when the time comes..." Wen Dong sneered and said, "Anyway, there will always be a group of people who can survive in the end. Why can't it be us?"
"Your uncle is right." Zhou Mingyuan said defiantly at this time: "The Phoenix Society is nothing more than a regime organization that used populism to rise in the doomsday. Its slogans are always for human civilization and for the whole world. It is just a platform to overthrow the federal regime. Humph, it actually calls on those who have already fled to come back and die. What a joke!"
Wen Dong nodded and told the team through the communicator:
"Speed up as much as possible and get to Qingbo City within 3 hours!"
…
Dawn City, Star City Orbital Station.
Jian Xuwei and Monica led a group of heavy firepower personnel to strengthen the defense of the Star City Orbital Station.
Monica stood on the top deck of the Sky Train, looking at the sky, her beautiful face slightly frowned.
The sky was overcast and rainy. It was only 3:00 p.m., but the sky was already terribly gloomy, as if the night had arrived early.
"It's hard to say what will happen in this dark time. It looks like a strange creature could appear in the next second."
Jian Xuwei heard the voice in the headset and said solemnly: "We have done everything we can. Now we can only give it a try."
High in the sky, Jiang Yun looked down at the dense defense lines being built below the old city. Crowds of people were gathering in the rain. From the perspective of an S-level monster, humans were like ants.
Ren Huiyan floated beside him, looking at his solemn expression, and said
"It's rare to see you so nervous."
"More than three million people... maybe just overnight." Jiang Yun looked towards the distant skyline, where dark clouds and rain were hanging upside down, and there was no sign of any fire or convoy.
No one provided support and no one returned to Dawn City.
The entire Dawn City is now like a lonely boat under the black sky.
To the west and south, the sky was terribly gloomy, as if a black world like an abyss was slowly approaching Dawn City behind the rain.
In the forest under the Qilian Mountains, the rain was dripping on the dead grass and wasteland on the ground. It seemed that there was no other sound in the forest except the sound of rain. It was extremely quiet.
But as the sky gradually darkened, some strange outlines suddenly appeared and disappeared, and some footprints were left on the ground, but they were not continuous and soon disappeared.
Such strange phenomena seemed to begin to appear in forests, plains, small town streets, highways, fields, and hillsides.
Above City Wall No. 1, the frontline commander saw the light in the outer city area becoming increasingly darker, and immediately picked up the communicator and shouted.
"Attention, the situation is a little unusual, polar night may be approaching, all fire control units are turned on!"
At the Twin Star Tower Command Center, Ye Lan and a group of leaders looked at the screen full of surveillance footage from various battle zones with extremely solemn expressions.
"It's not even 16 o'clock yet. It's much earlier than yesterday, right?" Huo Jiang said at this time.
"Xingyuan is no longer expanding at its original efficiency. The more this happens, the more it proves that our concerns are correct." Ye Lan turned around and said calmly: "Sound the alarm, and the whole city is ready to fight!"
"yes!"
Woo! Woo! Woo!
In an instant, a huge air defense alarm sounded over the entire Dawn City. The survivors who were still busy building fortifications looked up at the sky in surprise.
"The alarm has been sounded, hurry! Get into position!"
"All weapons are disarmed!"
"It's too dark, prepare the flares!"
All of a sudden, everyone on the defense line moved together, and the queue to enter the shelter increased its speed while maintaining order.
"Hurry, everyone go in first!"
"Never mind!"
"Take care, my wife!"
"mom……"
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!”
"Find a place of protection!"
Trip! Trip! Trip! Trip!
At this moment, in the sky, the pedestal weapons on the decks of Silent City, Zhentian Ship and all the fleets all raised their guns in rows, the blue energy beams of the electromagnetic railgun began to charge, the missile array hatches opened, and the search radars operated at full power.
Drone battle groups began to take off one after another, and the first batch of sky patrol probes were dispatched at high speed.
Shinji Mochizuki stood with his hands behind his back on the main bridge of the Silent City's cloud zone. The ultra-strong computing power of tens of thousands of quantum bits was sensing the thousands of weapon systems and sensors in the Silent City, monitoring the entire airspace at 360 degrees.
At this time, in the Twin Star Tower Command Post, Ye Lan slowly stood up.
Jiang Yun stood in the air, Chen Sixuan looked towards the sky, and Abai in the transport ship raised his head.
These people all spoke at the same time.
“Here it comes!”
…
Woo!!
On the wasteland, the [Night Iron Shield] base vehicle convoy raised dust and drove in quickly with the lights on. Zhou Mingyuan, who was resting with his eyes closed in the car, heard the sharp air defense sirens coming from Dawn City and couldn't help but frown.
"Has the attack been launched?"
"So fast?" Wen Dong also frowned at this time. He immediately turned on the vehicle's radar system and said, "It should be Xingyuan who is surrounding us, but our direction is safe. Thousands of convoys have left from this road. We are now moving away from Xingyuan."
"Um."
Zhou Mingyuan nodded: "If Ye Lan died in Dawn City, the Phoenix Society would probably be in big trouble."
Wen Dong sneered: "None of this has anything to do with us."
Zhou Mingyuan looked at Wen Dong and said with admiration: "You arranged it well. Fortunately, we evacuated at a critical moment. Next..."
boom!
Before he could finish his words, the whole vehicle suddenly shook violently, as if it had hit something. The base vehicle weighing more than ten tons tilted and overturned, rolling over. Zhou Mingyuan, Wen Dong and Li Jian were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong!!!"
Zhou Mingyuan sensed the crisis at this time, and used his powerful supernatural power to open the car door and flew out, but found that his entire car seemed to have disappeared at this time, and only his car was left overturned in the same place.
"What did we hit?" Wen Dong, who was bleeding from the head, hurriedly climbed out. It was cloudy and rainy outside. It was only 4 p.m. and it was already too dark to see one's fingers. Only the headlights of the vehicles could illuminate a pale wasteland area.
"Be careful, there must be a strange creature!"
Zhou Mingyuan's face darkened and his mouth suddenly began to tremble. He hurriedly and nervously mobilized his supernatural powers. Although he had obtained this body, fighting was obviously not his forte, and he was not too familiar with the supernatural powers of this body.
Click~
Suddenly, there was a sound of a dead tree breaking in the darkness. Zhou Mingyuan was like a frightened bird. Reflexively, he raised his hand and attacked in that direction.
I saw a flash of blazing white electric arc, and a huge power blasted out. The light illuminated a strange humanoid creature crawling on the ground in the darkness, which was several meters long. However, with Zhou Mingyuan's lightning strike, it actually pierced its head and spine completely.
Zhou Mingyuan was breathing rapidly. Seeing that the monster was killed instantly by him in one move, a huge stone in his heart slowly fell down. He let out a long sigh and looked at his hands, feeling a little proud.
"Such a powerful force, I should have experienced it earlier..."
"ah!!"
At this moment, Wen Dong on the side suddenly let out a strange cry, pointed at the sky in front of the vehicle, and shouted in fear: "What the hell is that!!"
Zhou Mingyuan frowned upon hearing this, and without saying anything, he immediately raised his hand and a lightning arc burst out: "No matter what, just kill him!"
boom!
Unexpectedly, as his arc of lightning shot towards the sky, the huge lightning instantly reflected a horrifying scene. Around the headlights of the base vehicle, thousands of strange and twisted monsters had surrounded it like a tsunami. And in front of them, in the airspace where the lightning was shining, Zhou Mingyuan and Wen Dong could not even see the full picture of the creature in front of them at that moment. They only saw a huge eye hanging in the air high in the tree shadows.
That gaze was like the judgment from hell, staring straight at him.
Zhou Mingyuan's face was pale at this time, his lips trembling as he looked at the invisible black curtain and said, "Quick...quick...run away!"
However, the next moment, the lights of the base vehicle quickly went out in the wilderness.
Dawn City.
Boom boom boom!!
The first to open fire came from Silent City and the air fleet. The azure arc light of the giant electromagnetic cannon illuminated the sky, and like a meteor gliding across the sky, it fired directly in dozens of directions!
Afterwards, City Wall No. 1 and millions of survivors saw a breathtaking scene under the light curtain of the electromagnetic cannon. Above the dark sky, a terrifying creature with strangely twisted limbs flashed through the clouds, and approaching in the clouds was a wave of flying monsters falling from the sky like the sky falling.
The next moment, on City Wall No. 1, thousands of Thor's Hammers, Great Wall base howitzers and 1130 self-propelled artillery all started to operate under the fire control system and computing center. The motors started, the bases turned, and thousands of gun muzzles were at this moment!
At the same time, the full metal barrage of mankind is played!
October 5, 2069, the 129th day of Apocalypse, 16:01 pm.
Xingyuan expanded at an unprecedented speed in the polar night, launching a dark tide that engulfed the entire Dawn City. Almost at the same time, this human capital with more than 200,000 troops and millions of people, with high walls and powerful artillery throughout the city, was caught in an epic-scale night war.
The command center headed by Ye Lan made the correct judgment. The attacks came from all directions, not just the west and north of the city. Billions of zombies and strange entities were like mudslides surging between mountains and rivers, quickly submerging the suburban towns, roads, railways, forests, and fields around Dawn City.
Even the rain falling from the sky seemed messy and wild because of the dense flying creatures.
The battle started in full swing.
Dozens of A-level and even special-level giant creatures appeared one after another from the direction of Star Abyss No. 5, Star Abyss No. 7 and Star Abyss No. 8.
They are either giant humanoid figures or strange and twisted insects or creatures, surging towards them in a strange tide.
At this moment, the energy cannons, cluster bombs, automatic machine guns, electromagnetic rails on the human city walls and the weapons of hundreds of thousands of soldiers all opened fire. The mecha wing was at the forefront, reaping the lives of dark creatures with surging firepower. The flamethrowers of the Vulcan mechas swept the battlefield, and under the searchlights and tracer bullets, the soldiers seemed to see the endless strange bodies.
A large amount of dark invading aura surged towards the city. Abnormal changes began to occur, but were quickly brought under control. The 16 air defense systems in Dawn City, consisting of Silent Hunters, anti-aircraft guns, Storm missile systems and pulse laser sky arrays, began to fire at the sky. Thousands of pulse lasers shot into the sky. After locking onto the large strange body, one Storm missile after another ignited and rushed out of the missile silo!
Countless people hiding in underground shelters felt as if the entire city was burning and shaking, with the roar occupying all their eardrums.
"Be quiet, don't panic!"
"Don't be afraid, stay calm!" The Phoenix emergency team officer shouted with a loudspeaker: "Everyone help each other and have confidence in our army!"
BANG BANG BANG!!
Chen Sixuan didn't expect that the battle would become almost intense as soon as it started.
On the urban light rail, a 15-kilometer-long armed train was moving violently, with the heavy weapons on board continuously firing towards the sky, and the 1130 rotating tube emitted a red light.
"There's an S-class in the sky, Shasha, air defense!"
"good!"
At this time, Sasha, who was connected to the neural empathy system, was sitting in the operating cabin of the interstellar hunter. She raised her hands, and instantly, the orbital star cannon on the shoulder of the mecha weighing thousands of tons was raised, and began to lock onto a huge multi-winged creature flying towards the air defense position, and opened fire.
Woo!
The violent energy gathered, and the sense of ionization vibrated for hundreds of meters. The next moment, a column of blazing white light with a diameter of several meters shot out from the muzzle of the Star Shock Cannon, piercing through the sky and earth. Outside the column of light were layers of air that were ionized into azure arcs of plasma. In an instant, all the walls of the surrounding city buildings and streets were illuminated by this strong light, and even the glass curtain walls of the buildings in the distance were reflected with light. A violent high-temperature heat wave, carrying powerful ionization, vibrated towards the large multi-winged creature, making the team members on the joint train who were firing feel blinded by the light.
boom!
Everyone only felt a powerful heat wave, and then the multi-winged creature that was flapping its wings and diving in the sky several kilometers away was cut into several pieces and fell down as if a laser cut through butter, with black and red high-temperature cross-sections emitting from the joints!
"That was at least an A-level monster, and it was killed with just one shot!"
Ning Jing was standing on the roof of the car at this time and said in surprise.
"The Orbital Starshaker is really powerful!"
"careful!"
Bang!
Chen Sixuan's sniper rifle sounded, and a small black strange creature the size of a palm rushed towards Ning Jing rapidly, and was directly blown up in the air by Chen Sixuan.
Ning Jing reacted and looked up at the sky, only to find that there were black clouds like a swarm of bees sweeping down over the city buildings.
"Retreat to the car and use the flamethrower!"
…
In the command center of the Twin Star Tower, Ye Lan looked at the various defense zones that were caught in a full-scale battle in a short period of time, his eyes slightly heavy.
"Report, a special-level creature appeared in District 9 in the west of the city, and the 7th Regiment of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Division of the Iron Guard Brigade suffered heavy casualties!"
"Report, 4 A-level creatures and 1 special-level creature appeared in District 5 of the northern part of the city at the same time. The 11th Armored Division of the Garrison Army and the Joint Defense Force lost contact outside the city. The city wall was attacked by energy beams and a large gap has appeared!"
"Report, the joint defense positions in Baiyun City have encountered a large number of air attacks. The air defense firepower network cannot fully cover it. Many blocks have been lost. Some civilian convoys and garrison troops are providing support!"
"Report, the 7th Squadron of the First Special Power Combat Force has lost contact at 4,300 meters above the south of the city, and the air patrol ship is conducting a joint rescue operation!"
In a short period of time, a large amount of battle damage and urgent military intelligence from the front lines kept coming in. Ye Lan and a group of Phoenix officials were all standing in front of the command screen at this time, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
"Have you detected the movements of the S-class?"
"The skytouch was observed from thousands of meters in the air, and seismic waves were detected in District 7 south of the city, which is suspected to be a ground upsurge. Apart from this, there are no other observation reports." said the reporting official.
"The S-class is quite intelligent and may be testing our counterattack capabilities."
"Do you want to actively lead it out?"
"No, it's too early to start the battle. The Emperor's 'God Group' hasn't arrived yet, and Lin Xian may also need some time..." Ye Lan said.
The reporting officer said at this time: "According to the statistics of the Galaxy Heart, 164 mutations have occurred within 30 minutes. Although all of them were handled quickly, this infection rate exceeds the scale of any previous war."
Ye Lan shook his head: "The S-level hasn't come out yet, and the infection peak hasn't arrived yet. We must delay the battle!"
