CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 281: CITY-BUILDING PROJECT – EXPEDITION (10,000 UNLOCK!) (PART 3)

Unlike the emergency gathering last night, the countless survivor caravans at this moment were all orderly, and the communication frequency was very quiet.

Everyone knew that soon, they would face an extremely harsh test.

"Don’t rush, small cars move inside, all armored vehicles, trucks, polar cars, and other large vehicles wait for dispatch on the periphery!"

"Different convoys can disperse, focusing on firepower and defensive formations!"

"Flamethrowers, heavy machine guns, various cannons, arc weapons, send them to the periphery, waiting to set up firepower points, other mobile firepower units spread out to supplement."

"All anti-aircraft fire units report upwards!"

From above, the night sky was filled with a mighty flow of steel vehicles, with the lights converging more and more from the south, north, and east city areas.

At the East City Steel Factory, the originally empty workshops and warehouses were all occupied by various doomsday vehicles, and the streets around the industrial area were surrounded by layers of large armored vehicles. The heavy artillery group of the Seventh Investigation Corps stuck their barrels out of the workshop skylights, rusted conveyors piled into ring-shaped bunkers, and every vantage point of the workshops had YJ-03 anti-aircraft guns with antifreeze covers and various heavy machine gun towers stationed. The crowd surged, and barbed walls, door panels, and stone posts were set up as more and more fortifications were arranged.

Under Han Jun’s command, from the Steel Factory to the Weapons Manufacturing Plant, the entire industrial area seemed to rise with a wall of steel. Thousands of vehicles gathered inside, even blocking several streets, sealing off the originally open industrial area into a temporary fortress with only three accessible blocks. There, nine electromagnetic railguns were deploying their bases, presenting an indomitable stance to face the monster tide surging from three directions.

At the Southern City Du Ga Radar Array Station, thousands of vehicles aligned with the mountain trends, appearing as a ’V’ from the air, forming a triangular defensive line with the southern high wall. The engineering team of the Phoenix Society was casting rebar anchor points on the icy permafrost and installing earthquake sensors. As soon as the abyss worm’s roar echoed from the ground, the frontline convoy would light up strings of cold light signal flares, and the continuous headlights almost illuminated the entire mountain trend.

Behind the glass curtain wall of the Northern City Airport, Xiao He and a group of defense line commanders were calibrating the placement of the high-voltage ionization wall. The giant terminal building was fortified by nearly 2,000 vehicles from 300 convoys, and the scrapped passenger planes strewn on the runway were transformed into mobile fortresses and automatic machine gun towers. The welded-wing rapid-fire turrets rotated with surveillance drones, and on the airport runway, engineers and survivors braved the fierce wind to lay various anti-collision mines, ground spikes, wire bombs, and burning ditches, even the control tower was equipped with heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. All overlaid with high-strength ionization walls and barbed wire, the densely packed machine gun towers were overwhelming.

Meanwhile, the situation at the rail station was much simpler. More than twenty steel trains, centered on Infinity and Dragon Mountain No. 1, crossed the tracks in an inverted ’T’ shape at the railway junction. The narrow directions at both ends of the track were all blocked by boulders, leaving no retreat. The doomsday trains stationed here all became fixed fortresses. Except for attacks from above, the monster tide primarily converged from the vast square and the few main streets in front of the passenger building, forming what could be described as a hub-level defensive barrier.

Infinity and Dragon Mountain No. 1 both arrived at the northern rail station. The joint fleet led by Uncle Wu and Shen Yao began setting up defense lines on the square in front of the passenger building, with the forefront stacked with three rows of impact-resistant trenches made from converted containers. Thousands of heavy machine guns, various cannons, Gatling guns, flamethrowers, arc pulse string vibrators, and high-voltage ionization walls — everything, including the hidden arsenal of Infinity, were brought out.

Lin Xian even temporarily manufactured a batch of Gatlings for fire support of various convoys on the square. Besides Sha Sha’s Sally, there was also a mecha unit from the Investigation Corps and several other survivors’ mechas.

Inside the Infinity carriage, Lin Xian was urgently discussing with convoy members.

"Level 5 mark, everyone should be familiar with it, the scale is unprecedented, be prepared, it will definitely be larger than our breakout from the snowfield and last night’s battle, but this time it’s different, the goal is not to annihilate the monster tide, but to buy time!"

In Car 2, Lin Xian looked at everyone and said, "The longer we hold, the better, because our goal is to lure out that S-Class Cloud Black Thorn. As long as we take it down and clear the Level 5 mark, we will have survived."

Chen Sixuan, Da Lou, Sha Sha, KIKI, Lu Xingchen, Shu Qin, Lv Chang, Xiao Yuan, and others were called here, everyone with a determined gaze. Even the usually fearless Sha Sha looked a bit grave.

Ding Junyi brought the boxes of Cold Dark Reagents previously sent by the Phoenix Society, and at the same time prepared several bottles containing some green liquid. Lin Xian opened them and distributed one Cold Dark Reagent to each person.

As for the green liquid bottles, they were vegetable juice prepared by Ding Junyi.

"I consulted Zhou Wuer and found out that using this might not have a massive boost in a short time, but it has the advantage of quickly restoring superpowers and enhancing spiritual power. However, it may come with a degree of darkness invasion, so I had Director Ding prepare some vegetable juice as a precaution."

"Everyone on the train has vegetable juice in case of emergency, but there’s only this much Cold Dark Reagent, so I must give it to you first."
