Chapter 724: Chapter 724
A thunderous crash echoed from the direction of the Black Lake, and Lin Xian, who was rapidly constructing the railway with his team, immediately turned to look. Under the dark curtain, a colossal black silhouette could be faintly seen rising into the sky, accompanied by a barrage of terrified screams on the communication channels.
"It’s definitely S-class!"
Hearing the countless screams over the communicator, Lin Xian’s heart tightened. Not only him, but everyone else also saw the shadow of the behemoth, and an immense pressure arose, making it difficult to breathe.
If it really was S-Class, Lin Xian clearly didn’t think his gravitational lens alone could finish it off. In Xilan City, it took tens of thousands of people, city defense firepower, and the Seventh Investigation Corps, along with one No.1 Machine, to jointly take down an S-class Scout. And now, they only had a few hundred trains and thousands of people.
So their only option was to quickly concentrate their firepower and defensive lines. Meanwhile, as long as Lin Xian performed a Dark Mark check on the survivors coming from the rear carriage, they could determine the true level of that monster. The source of this content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥
The more critical the moment, the less chaos there should be.
"That’s a big guy, this time we might be in grave danger."
Standing at a high point, Shi Deyuan’s gaze was sharp, his tone low and rarely pessimistic.
Ning Jing smashed a twisted creature climbing up from under the train with a punch, the massive impact of the punch sweeping down, and then she landed beside Shi Deyuan, saying gravely, "The battle line must immediately shrink, or we’ll be eaten all the way!"
Shi Deyuan nodded, and immediately, with a group of subordinates, climbed up to the top of a tall tree to begin directing the various convoy personnel to retreat defensively under the cover of several people.
And those retreating convoys began to have clear directions after receiving commands.
As the temporary track for the pulling convoy was being built deeper, Lin Xian was constructing the railway while the drone above his head automatically engaged in combat, also helping him observe the surrounding terrain. He directly adjusted the curve of the track along the large swaths of forest that Brother Huo had started burning, pushing the Mechanical Heart to its limit, with a track falling from each of his left and right hands. Beside him was the protection formation composed of Infinity’s Assault Group 1 and Group 2, with KIKI and Brother Huo fighting in the sky. The train’s 1130 had already emptied its fourth round of ammunition. As soon as the track fell, Lao Mo, with a face still bloodstained, led a group of engineering crew to help secure the foundation, and then Infinity’s iron wheels rolled forward again.
In the dark forest, gunfire roared everywhere, burning with raging flames. From within those flames and the depths of darkness, various Abnormal Bodies continued to emerge. On Infinity, the light of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum flickered erratically. With the suppression of the entire regiment’s firepower, the Dark Mark gradually weakened, yet as more Abnormal Bodies emerged, the Mark was again overwhelmed, and the pressure of the fierce battle grew step by step.
Finally, the Ocean and Parrot carriages, which had sunk underwater, surfaced, spewing out copious amounts of black water from their flooded interiors, along with various water monsters that had crawled inside — large, small, alien worms, black water leeches, and bizarre centipedes. The few remaining people in these two convoys retreated to the rear carriages with the Red Rose and other convoys.
"Use flamethrowers, burn these things!!"
"Approaching the assistant protection circle soon, everyone hold on!!"
Hundreds of people huddled around the train, continually firing as they retreated, and several Superpower Users darted into the jungle to battle the Abnormal Bodies. None of them survived more than a few rounds, and the primary combat strength of these two convoys was nearly exhausted, leaving only a few dozen combat-capable individuals, practically wiped out in name.
"Brother Huo, KIKI, we’ve suffered huge losses at the rear, the Monster Tide might focus and charge through, push out!"
"Understood!" Hearing Lin Xian’s words, KIKI and Brother Huo began suppressing from the rear, as trains at the back of the Joint Fleet continued to collapse. This situation was highly susceptible to triggering a chain reaction, and this momentum had to be stopped before forming a defensive line.
Shi Deyuan also realized this, and immediately had Ning Jing take Xiao Qing and others to provide support, while Ah Bai continued standing on the roof of Dragon Mountain No.1, releasing laser beams amidst a group of guards.
Whenever the dark red laser beam swept across, the pressure on that section of the defense line would sharply reduce, truly a powerful weapon of Dragon Mountain No.1!
At that moment, the two rear trains had already suffered a complete power outage and paralysis, with the exterior of the carriages covered in various water plants and bizarre tentacles, looking truly terrifying.
Rumbling noises erupted from the swamp, a sound like mud and water boiling under the crushing pressure, as everyone saw a distant giant shadow crashing through the forest, like a mountain. Blue-green scales glistened with a cold light, and the massive, twisting body brought immense fear and pressure. Under the gunfire, they could only see a gigantic mouth filled with countless sharp teeth.
"Fire at full power!"
"Prepare the rocket launchers!"
Boom boom boom, in an instant, all the firepower from several convoys at the rear was angrily unleashed upon the massive black shadow attacking them, countless explosions and flames intermingling. Amidst the play of light and shadow, they could finally see that abyssal serpent’s maw, with hundreds of crimson eyes arranged from large to small across its serpent head. Those eyes gleamed chillingly, making everyone who saw them shiver, as many people’s minds went blank in an instant, even their spirits beginning to unravel.
"Don’t look at its eyes!!!"
