Tang Hai was dumbfounded upon seeing this image, panicking as he blurted, "How can this thing still be activated???"
At this moment, Feng Yuming was also stunned because he saw the electro-optical seeker of the intensive barrage weapon system pointing at him, and in that instant, an absurd thought surged in his mind.
Are these things meant to be aimed at people!?
At this time, in the combat information room of the underground air defense bunker, KIKI was sitting in front of the Close-in Weapon System’s control system, which Lin Xian had successfully repaired and self-tested. She quickly marked several hot targets and then, gently patting the microphone in front of her, cleared her throat and said over the intercom,
"Few stinking bastards, goodbye~"
Then, she pressed the fire button.
The next instant, the appalling rapid fire of the guns echoed through the skies; the intense flashes even illuminated half of the platform. This anti-air weapon with a firing rate of 10,000 rounds per minute was now pointing its barrel at the zombie horde surging up the hillside, the massive Fog Spider, and... Feng Yuming!
Feng Yuming saw the gun barrel swiftly aiming at him, his heart sank, and he even attempted to raise his black claw to block, but in just an instant, he was blasted into a mist of blood by the violent metal storm, and the ground he was standing on was instantly obliterated into a giant pit!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
The head-tingling rapid machine gun fire echoed across the sky, and the zombie horde swarming up the hillside was swept away like rain by windshield wipers, a swath of flesh shredded as the fire swept across a fan area!
Hundreds upon hundreds of zombies turned into a rain of blood and flying limbs in an instant!
Below the Close-in Weapon System was a large subsystem for power and ammunition supply, located right next to the ordnance depot’s generator set. The reason Lin Xian consumed the large generator set was mainly that he discovered that only part of this system was damaged, and it just needed some repairs. Since the system itself was connected to the backup energy source of the Defense System, at this moment, Lin Xian and KIKI had activated this behemoth.
Hiding under the train, Lin Xian watched with alarm. No wonder they say when Anti-Aircraft Guns are leveled, the court-martial convenes; such a thing is not something that a carbon-based lifeform can withstand, can it?
But then he thought, why after Apocalypse Day did the entire world’s Defense System seem to vanish into thin air as if by magic...
Tang Hai, hiding in the locomotive, turned pale at the sight of his nephew being reduced to ashes. Without a second word, he pushed the throttle, and knowing that Lin Xian was hiding under the train, he thought he might be able to make a getaway and possibly run over Lin Xian at the same time.
At this moment, Lin Xian hiding under the train felt the wheels start moving and was instantly alarmed. He knew Tang Hai intended to use the reserve energy of the branch line power grid to transport his men and materials out of North Bay Station and then escape by car. He quickly grabbed the bottom of the train, ready to activate the Mechanical Heart to take control of the train.
However, as soon as he began to use his powers, Lin Xian felt something was wrong. This train was much larger than he had imagined, and with his current strength, he could not establish control quickly.
Watching the train slowly move, Lin Xian subconsciously tried to escape from between the wheels and come up with another plan.
But the next instant, just as the train started moving, a loud "bang" of a huge metal collision came from the front of the train, causing all the carriages to halt.
Seizing this opportunity, Lin Xian quickly dashed out from under the train, and at that moment, the Close-in Weapon System also simultaneously fell silent.
Although it could fire 10,000 rounds per minute, the actual ammunition belt could only support 15 seconds of continuous fire, but that seemed enough. When Lin Xian came out from under the train, the entire sentry station and the hillside had turned into a bloody hell of flesh and smoke, the grass couldn’t even be seen, and now he could finally see the true face of that giant spider, a blue spider the size of a truck’s head, with black patterns all over its body.
Only now... it was hard to tell that it was once a whole spider.
And when he turned back, puzzled why Tang Hai had suddenly stopped the train and wondering if the power system had been accidentally damaged,
He looked ahead and saw a massive red steel beast in the dense fog, blocking Tang Hai’s path!
The sudden collision caused Tang Hai to stumble and fall to the ground, bleeding from his face. He climbed up in shock, thinking to himself if it was some kind of ghostly phenomenon—how could the train have hit a mountain?
But upon rising and seeing by the light of the train’s headlamp, he was aghast to discover a crimson behemoth, an 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive, towing a long chain of carriages eerily appearing before him!
At this moment, Tang Hai’s face turned green, he looked as if he’d seen a ghost, and his gunmen were also panic-stricken.
"Where did this train come from?!!"
From one corner of the hill, Lou Ye emerged with a fierce look, clutching a Grenade Gun, and fired a round into the window of the train carriage full of gunmen!
Caught off guard by this sudden blast, countless gunmen were killed or injured in an instant. The few remaining jumped out of the train through the thick smoke, only to be greeted by a girl with a smirk at the corner of her eye.
"Hello, where are you heading?"
Then the girl’s eyes shone bright as she waved her hand!
An invisible force instantly blasted the men away, killing them on the spot!
Tang Hai opened the driver’s cabin door and jumped panic-stricken onto the railway track. Most of the zombie hoard had already vanished. Holding a handgun, he was ready to feel his way along the railway track to escape into the darkness.
Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately climbed the platform to chase after him.
But Tang Hai didn’t get far before a graceful black shadow appeared ahead, scaring him into exclaiming, "Who?!"
Just as he was about to shoot, the shadow swung a crowbar straight at his face.
With a splatter of blood, Tang Hai’s vision went dark, and he fell straight down.
It was only then that the shadow slowly emerged, revealing a pretty face under the glow of the car lights.
Lin Xian’s eyes narrowed, it was indeed Teacher Chen...
At this moment, Chen Sixuan was clutching the crowbar, her gaze nervous and scared as she looked at Lin Xian standing on the platform, her chest heaving rapidly.
It was clear that this was her first time hitting someone.
"Badass, Teacher Chen."
Lin Xian expressed his surprise. He did not know how Chen Sixuan could have appeared here out of the blue, but seeing Tang Hai knocked down, he raised his hand and shot a few Wind Guns to finish him off.
Chen Sixuan was shocked by the brutally horrific scene. She turned pale; the railway tracks, the platform, the entire hillside were covered in various flesh and chunks of bodies, and the air was filled with a boiling mix of gunpowder and the stench of blood.
Two Wind Guns, Lin Xian raised his hand and killed two stray zombies lurking behind Chen Sixuan, startling Teacher Chen into a scream, "Ah!"
Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze then turned to Lou Ye in the distance, and after a moment, he called out,
Hearing Lin Xian’s call, it seemed to snap Lou Ye out of his daze. He started to look around and then found a mound of dirt, from which he dug out the dusty Lou Shasha after a couple of scoops.
Lou Shasha looked at Lou Ye, her face covered in blood, gasping for air, "Are you okay?"
Shot in the back and pierced in the arm, the massive man seemed totally unfazed.
Watching from a distance that the siblings were alright, Lin Xian eased up a bit. Hearing the continuous zombie noises emanating through the thick fog, he immediately shouted at the siblings, "Quick, get on my train and hide."
Lou Ye looked up at the towering train, and, comprehending, he nodded earnestly without hesitation, quickly scooping up Lou Shasha and running towards it.
KIKI, having dealt with the remaining gunmen, couldn’t help but cover her mouth at the sight of the strewn corpses, yet amazement filled her eyes, "Wow, what a formidable guy."
Lin Xian was left in disbelief — a sixteen-year-old girl wasn’t the slightest bit frightened or disgusted at the sight of the corpses scattered all over. Instead, why did it sound like she was actually excited?
Under Chen Sixuan’s guidance, everyone quickly boarded the "Infinity" for a temporary rest.
It was just 7 o’clock at the moment, with at least seven or eight hours to go before dawn.
