"Jiang Yun, the earthquake just now was quite unusual, similar to the one near Daluo Mountain yesterday."
Ren Huixian quickly walked over, waved one hand to the side, and an invisible blast from an air gun shattered an approaching Monster Corpse, her expression unchanged, "In this situation, could it be the corpse chaser?"
Jiang Yun’s gaze shifted toward the direction of the climbing elevator, his tone becoming somewhat urgent.
"Whether it’s the corpse chaser or not is no longer important. I have a feeling that thing is still around. We can’t let it attack the anti-air weapons anymore!"
"Let’s go." Jiang Yun told the Building and Lu Xingchen
"Organize the superpower users, we need to prioritize our air defense. We can ignore those zombies for now."
At this time, Jiang Yu had a strong premonition that the entities lurking in the dark were also wary of the heavy weapons inside the Airport. If these defenses were compromised, their pressure would increase exponentially, making it impossible to hold out for even a few hours.
Elsewhere, Wei Kexue, looking at the information in the system, his face turned pale.
"Oh no, Electromagnetic Railgun No. 3 is offline."
Lin Xian immediately got up, "I’ll go check it out."
"But not just that," Wei Kexue’s forehead was sweating profusely, his complexion visibly turning white, he urgently operated something in the system, then slowly lifted his head, his whole demeanor seemed soulless.
"Another piece of bad news, the earthquake caused one of our main power cables to break, and now the remaining electrical power... is insufficient to operate the climbing elevator!"
Wei Kexue’s words made the already tense situation even more desperate, as both Lin Xian and KIKI’s faces changed color.
"What? The cable is also broken, then... what do we do now?" KIKI frowned.
Wei Kexue was completely flustered at this point, stuttering, unable to think of any countermeasures.
"Let’s discuss the electricity issue later, I need to fix that electromagnetic railgun first." Lin Xian quickly stood up, his expression stern, "The climbing elevator will soon be repaired, and we can’t let the defense system malfunction now, or once those things break in, we won’t even have a chance to run."
Hearing Lin Xian’s words, Wei Kexue managed to regain some composure, nodding repeatedly, "Okay... I’ll first go back to the control tower to discuss with Mr. Bai and General Zhang."
Without further ado, Lin Xian took KIKI and raced towards the elevator at the top platform.
Both sides began to take action independently. We can’t afford errors with electromagnetic railguns, as these are capable of directly defending against Sky Jellyfish. If the defense system falls, the situation tonight will get even worse.
The maintenance elevator quickly ascended, bringing Lin Xian to the access platform several dozens of floors high. THUD! Just as he opened the door, an incredibly pungent stench met his face, and at the same time, countless Black Insects suddenly crawled in through the doorway.
Lin Xian immediately sensed something was wrong, and KIKI, without hesitation, raised her hand, and with a shake, hundreds of Black Insects were instantly crushed by a massive force, bursting into green juices and emitting slight electric arcs.
Seeing this scene, he frowned. Outside the door, the sky ablaze with gunfire filled the night, with the sounds of bullets and shells deafening, and a howling wind mixed with many snowflakes drifted down, a blizzard was imminent!
He walked out onto the platform, and immediately saw a huge Monster sprawled across it, its head already blasted open, oozing Black Blood, with half of a massive black wing hanging over the edge of the platform fluttering in the wind.
Behind it, the anti-air electromagnetic railgun had already powered down, occasionally sparking electric arcs.
"Wow, how did this thing get in?" KIKI exclaimed, seeing the dark mist spreading in front of the monster, she immediately waved one hand, capturing a Level 2 Mysterious Blood Essence in her hand.
Lin Xian had no time to pay attention to this, he ran directly towards the electromagnetic gun, placing his hand on it, starting the Mechanical Scan.
[Scanning in progress, Scan Progress 1%]
Scanning this large weapon proved much more challenging than the maintenance robot from earlier, Lin Xian felt the pressure and immediately said to KIKI, "This might take some time, keep an eye on that electromagnetic railgun over there, don’t let any monster get close."
KIKI nodded her head, her keen intelligence helping her understand the critical importance of these anti-aircraft weapons, and her purpose for following along was to protect Lin Xian as he repaired them.
[Scanning progress 20%]
On the airport platform below, the pressure on the frontline Iron Guard Brigade soldiers and survivors grew increasingly intense. In zone D, where the train tracks were located, large Abnormal Bodies continuously flooded in.
The anti-aircraft weapons on the Silver Star, docked at the platform, also activated their Fire Control Radar and kept firing.
The Anti-aircraft Guns and rapid-fire machine guns on the Dragon Mountain No. 1 unleashed dazzling lines of fire, wave after wave sweeping through the threats pouring along the high walls.
A crimson human ghost, extremely fast, darted out from the Zombie crowd, streaking a path of red shadow and suddenly leaping onto the roof of Dragon Mountain No. 1. It immediately tore off half the neck of a machine gunner who was firing, splattering plasma and drawing a frenzied barrage from nearby defenders.
"This monster is very fast!"
As soon as the machine gunner fell, another survivor on Dragon Mountain No. 1 rushed forward, continuing to fire.
The crimson human ghost swiftly climbed atop the vehicle roof, evading a barrage of bullets that mostly missed their mark, causing stray shots to fly and sparks to scatter everywhere.
The crimson human ghost cried out weirdly, rapidly closing in on another machine gunner on the roof. Seeing this, the gunner swiftly shifted his gunfire towards it, rat-a-tat-tat, with many bullets missing and only a few piercing through, forming clumps of blood but failing to stop the human ghost’s assault.
Claws struck, and the machine gunner’s face instantly turned pale.
Just at that critical moment, a booming gunshot resounded.
The human ghost, about to reach the machine gunner, suddenly exploded into a mass of flesh right in front of him, accompanied by a strong whistling of air and a large amount of blood splattering his face.
"That was close, Chen Dong, are you alright?!"
His teammates shouted towards him; the machine gunner’s mind momentarily short-circuited, then he quickly wiped the blood off his face and looked towards the direction of the shot, only to see a heavy-duty sniper rifle sticking out of the window of a distant black armored train.
"I’m fine, I’m fine..."
The machine gunner, his expression tense, nodded towards that direction and then immediately raised his gun again to continue resisting the Zombies.
On Infinity, Chen Sixuan held the A33K heavy-duty anti-material sniper rifle, continuously adjusting her breathing.
Her shoulder hurt, her body felt like it was falling apart, but the sensation of firing the gun made her feel increasingly clear. For some reasons, following Lin Xian all this way, the previously weak her felt much stronger than before.
What’s most crucial was that Chen Sixuan felt her observation skills had become much sharper!
"Such precise shooting, but you seem very surprised."
Ding Junyi’s indifferent voice came from beside her, her hands tucked in her pockets, quietly watching Chen Sixuan.
Chen Sixuan took a deep breath and continued to aim with the sniper rifle, responding,
"This is my second time firing."
"Is that so? Although I’m not familiar with firearms, the weight of that anti-material sniper rifle in your hands isn’t light. Judging from the sound of the gunfire and the shooting power, the recoil isn’t small either. You haven’t undergone professional training, nor are you a combatant on this vehicle, yet to have such talent, it looks like you’ve also evolved."
Chen Sixuan furrowed her brows: "Evolved? What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like." Ding Junyi said, "The longer you survive in the night, the more you will evolve to a certain degree. You don’t have to be afraid, nor do you need to view it as a burden. Evolution isn’t necessarily a bad thing."
Chen Sixuan was slightly astonished; she immediately understood Ding Junyi’s implication, pursed her lips in silence for a moment, then softly said,
"I’m not scared at all."
"If I could also have enough ability to help everyone, I would gladly accept this ’evolution.’"
Ding Junyi’s expression remained unchanged, "I appreciate your attitude. The state exhibited by the people on this vehicle is optimistic; such a team will not be weak in terms of survival ability in any environment."
