Chapter 726: Chapter 726
At this moment, Lin Xian, who had been constructing the railway, finally outlined a circular railway formation. However, he didn’t complete it in a full circle. Instead, he initially had Dragon Mountain No.1 lay tracks in reverse on the inner loop, so that by disconnecting the Joint Train in the middle and letting Dragon Mountain No.1 pull into the inner loop, this double-layer train formation could quickly take shape, saving half the time, and ensuring the defense perimeter wasn’t overly large.
Sure enough, by splitting into two segments and advancing along interwoven arcs, a spiral train formation quickly formed. Weaker and heavily damaged convoys were pulled into the inner loop, while the main convoy and those with the most firepower were on the outer loop. As large crowds retreated into the center of the train formation, the two trains acted like steel barriers, providing immense security to the thousands of survivors behind. Once the formation was completed, the area inside, scorched by flames, became a temporary resting camp during this terrifying night, while all threats and monster tides circled the several-kilometer-long circular train perimeter.
Since Ocean and Parrot were completely scattered, the carriages filled with various Abnormal Bodies, for safety’s sake, Lin Xian directly detached and abandoned more than thirty carriages from Ocean and Parrot, then began to devour the living carriages for material supplies.
When those waterlogged carriages were devoured, countless soaked provisions and Abnormal Bodies hiding inside leaped out and were quickly slaughtered by the vigilant survivors surrounding them. The supplies were then collected and distributed by the remaining members of the two convoys without hesitation, loaded onto other convoys.
In this situation, the convoy personnel no longer distinguished between each other, uniting their lives on the same front line, with Lin Xian simultaneously receiving material supplies.
As the temporary double-helix formation of the Joint Train took shape, hundreds of carriages interconnected like a mechanical dragon. The advantages of the human collective began to form!
"All convoys defend by area! Genetic Evolvers in Power Armor and Superpower Users at the front, other combat personnel behind, and clear the air targets!" Lin Xian commanded loudly.
"Logistics personnel, rescue the supplies, take cover in the camp, each convoy move the ammunition to the front of the line, and arrange the guns crosswise for reloading!"
"Luo Yang, set up the high-voltage arc wall!"
Luo Yang immediately led a team to start the operation.
"We’ll help too." Other technical personnel responsible for creating defensive traps from various convoys also joined in.
Whiz! Monica swung a sweeping sword, carving out a trench in front of a portion of the formation, then ordered her subordinates, "Ignite the flame trench!" Orıginal content can be found at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁
"Yes!" Her subordinates were also very experienced.
Golden flashes sped around the perimeter, Qian Deli’s face was smeared with fragments of some unknown creature, coldly saying, "Xiao Meng, aluminum thermite grenade!"
The mixture of napalm and aluminum thermite burned into incandescent purgatory, illuminating the defenseline with a blinding glow. The fiercely burning flame trench greatly weakened the onslaught of monsters from the Dark Forest.
All vehicle-mounted turrets, machine guns, and missiles redirected their fire toward the perimeter. In just over an hour, the survivors quickly gathered the formation from panicked and fear-stricken chaos. When hundreds of carriages formed a circular defense line approximately 7 kilometers in diameter and 2 kilometers in width, survivors felt supported at their backs.
The strong combatants fought on the front line under the protection of powerful vehicle-mounted weapon fire, while other support teams climbed onto the rooftops, operating machine guns and cannons to suppress the Abnormal Bodies emerging from the Dark Forest. The anti-aircraft guns and various airborne machine guns fired densely at the sky, solidifying this circular defensive line into a stronghold that suppressed the various-sized Abnormal Bodies from the forest with metal storms, hundreds of meters away!
"Damn it, I don’t care who you are, as long as you’re carbon-based, my 12.7 won’t miss!" After the morale surged, a burly man holding a Gatling stood atop a vehicle, shouting angrily.
"Hold the line, brothers, they can’t break through!"
"Quick, bring the wounded inside!"
"Use incendiary tubes to ignite that hillside, keep them from climbing up!"
At the Infinity zone’s defenseline, Sha Sha was at the forefront piloting the Fire God, while Da Lou and Liang Lei led the main force of the assault team to neatly protect all twenty-seven carriages of the Infinity.
"Kill, kill, kill!!!" As the Fire God Cannon roared, explosions continued to erupt. Sha Sha had become increasingly adept at maneuvering the mecha. The squad of burly assault group members were left astounded as they watched this young girl in the mecha holding the front line.
"This girl’s something else!"
Inside the formation’s empty space, all logistical personnel from dozens of convoys urgently set up camp transport lines. A large number of wounded and salvaged materials were brought into each carriage for treatment, and all convoys moved their ammunition to the front line. Regardless of direction, as long as someone shouted for ammo, someone from the back would deliver it. Many young boys and girls scurried about, helping transport supplies and picking up every shell casing on the battlefield.
In the skies above this circular steel defensive line, anti-aircraft guns, vehicle-mounted artillery, anti-aircraft guns, railguns, 1130s, rocket launchers, and missiles formed a dense crossfire net, tearing the night sky into a torn tapestry of crimson and deep blue intertwined colors. On the defensive perimeter, all were clad in Yijin City Power Armor and various powerful Superpower Users, wielding heavy machine guns and plasma flamethrowers, or using high-energy cutting weapons and superpowers to face the Abnormal Monsters head-on.
