Chapter 268 - Rushing into the snowfield

Attraction! Force! Transparency! Mirror!

He exerted all his strength, and in an instant, Lin Xian felt as if all the energy in his body was being drained away like a flood!

High above the sky, a piece of space began to distort rapidly. In an instant, the distorted space began to expand rapidly, distorting and swallowing the large amount of Tyndall effect light projected from the gaps in the clouds, and a dazzling halo began to appear!

At this time, a sun dog seemed to appear in the sky hundreds of meters away. The light was dazzling, like an oversized fluorescent lamp, instantly illuminating the entire canyon pass, and the visibility in the wind and snow suddenly became much clearer.

At this time, the wind and snow dissipated, and for a moment it seemed like a clear winter afternoon. The light was like a torch, instantly causing a large number of snow monsters to have their bodies extremely distorted. Their howlings shook the sky, and large amounts of black smoke began to seep out of their skin and joints. The monster tide, which had originally been like a tide, now madly drilled into the snow layer, causing the resistance pressure of the entire convoy to suddenly loosen.

At the same time, the firepower of the entire convoy was directed at the giant abyss worm. Various explosions and metal jets bombarded it. In an instant, smoke and dust rose up, and black meat and green blood flew everywhere.

Ang hum!

A huge devouring force came from the huge mouth. It drilled out of the ground for dozens of meters and twisted its mouthparts quickly, trying to sweep the entire fleeing convoy. It was completely unlike before when it just suddenly jumped out and drilled directly back into the ground.

But its furious sweeping and devouring attack did not work. Instead, its hard black skin was rapidly melting, twisting, and dislocating, so that an armor-piercing bullet could hit it with greater power than usual, and large amounts of blood clots fell to the ground.

Empty, empty, empty!

The snow, dust and gravel on the ground suddenly exploded. At this time, Shi Diyuan was holding a 155mm howitzer in one hand, with eyes as angry as a tiger and a body as strong as a tiger. Longshan No. 1 had already passed by from the side. He was about to fire with both hands, but he suddenly found that the monster was shrinking madly into the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "It wants to run!!"

The daytime is not the home ground of this strange creature in the night. Facing this monster that is powerful enough to destroy a city, now is the best chance to severely damage it. How could Sidiyuan and the others let go of such an opportunity easily?

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire convoy wanted to shoot out all their guns at once. Even in the technical team's car, many people were holding automatic rifles and pistols and shooting at the monster with all their strength.

Wow! Wow!

The abyss worm quickly shrank into the ground. Lin Xian was covered in cold sweat and clenched his teeth. At this time, he used his last bit of strength to stretch out his hand and clench it fiercely!

The twisted dazzling ball of light began to condense inward in a Fibonacci spiral. The next moment, a scorching ray about the thickness of a bucket shot out downwards!

boom!

The scorching rays directly bombarded the body of the abyss worm, and immediately black smoke and steam rose from the worm's body like huge waves!

Buzz!

On the other left wing, Abai took off his sunglasses, and two laser beams shot directly at one side of the insect's body at close range.

In just a moment, as the giant insect fell madly, the laser light tore a horrific cut of more than ten meters on its body like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Lin Xian's gravitational rays lasted only 1 second, but they directly pierced the upper wall of the insect's body, causing a bright white light to shine from the pitch-black mouthparts.

Empty empty empty!!

Snow, dust and gravel exploded with a deafening roar, and the huge mouth of the abyss shrank back into the ground the next moment. Under the smoke and dust, only a huge circular pit with a diameter of more than ten meters was left. A large amount of skin, tissue and meat were scattered around, and even splashed onto the cars in the convoy that were rushing past.

Rumble, the seismic waves began to transmit violently, and large pieces of mountain snow at the pass slid down.

Still not venting his anger, Shi Diyuan grabbed two 155mm howitzers and threw them into the huge pit. After a few seconds, two explosions were heard from the empty pit, and it was obvious that the explosion had hit nothing.

Buzz~

At this time, the convoy of the defense line finally drove past the huge pit, left the pass, and headed towards the flat snowfield.

"Ah! It ran away!!!" said Steve angrily.

Bang bang bang!

"snort!"

At this time, on an armored vehicle, the machine gun in Chen Wei's hand stopped firing. Sizzling, the hot machine gun muzzle turned slightly red, and the snowflakes falling on it made a boiling sound.

"It must have been hurt!" Captain Sun gasped in the communicator, "It will probably not dare to come out again in the short term."

"Before dark." Qian Dele stood on the roof of the car. He had expended a lot of energy just now, and now he was fanning himself in the face with his hands.

"Each vehicle reports casualties!!"

"We are not out of danger yet, prepare the ammunition and don't slack off!" The leaders of several other convoys also shouted in unison at this time.

Yu Yuheng stuck his head out of the car window, and looked at the scene in horror with a group of technical team members. It was only half a minute from the time the abyss worm came out to just now, but it was as if they had experienced a horrific life-and-death battle. The huge worm body and the huge mouth of the abyss brought a tremendous sense of oppression. If it weren't for the strange mental power protecting the convoy, I'm afraid that at that moment, at least 1/3 of the cars would have been uncontrollably sucked in!

"How is Chen Wei doing?!" Looking at the armored vehicle where Chen Wei was in the distance, Yu Yuheng immediately shouted to his colleagues in the car.

"It's fine for now!" the other side replied, and Yu Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, although it's scary, we can hurt it during the day, and even repel it!" Inside the car, a researcher holding his backpack said nervously.

"Yes, it seems that the best way is for the whole team to charge together. If we disperse our forces..."

Yu Yuheng sat back down, and when he heard what the two said, his expression suddenly became complicated, but at this moment he nodded in approval and said, "Professional matters should be handled by professionals. If Team Leader Li hadn't died, he would have made the same judgment."

"Team Leader Yu, this Lin Xian is really amazing." The researcher said in amazement, "A mechanical superpower, in addition to creating machines out of thin air, he can also control the weather. Can he combine superpowers with mechas?"

Yu Yuheng blinked and said, "The ability to manufacture machinery is indeed amazing. We need to record this in detail. Once we arrive in Xilan City, we will immediately ask the postman team to upload the information to the headquarters to see what the feedback is."

"I think the Night Walkers have definitely set their sights on this talent."

Another middle-aged researcher said nervously: "This ability is as functional as a strategic level. The Night Walker Department will definitely not let it go."

Yu Yuheng was silent after hearing this, thinking about something in his eyes...

On the other side, the steel traffic flow finally gathered together and drove towards the distance, carrying a cloud of snow and dust.

Because of the flash of light just now, the large number of snow monsters chasing them were now much smaller, but as time passed, and the blizzard began to intensify, the sound of boiling began to be heard in the endless snowfield again. Fortunately, the sound of the earthquake seemed to have gone away, and everyone felt a little relieved.

"Left wing, lost 3 vehicles and 9 people!"

"Right wing, 4 vehicles, 17 people!"

"Central, 2 vehicles, 7 people."

In the communication band, the report statistics of casualties made the atmosphere between the teams become a little heavy. KIKI returned to the passenger seat with a pale face and sighed deeply: "How abominable..."

Xiaoqing, who was driving the car nearby, glanced at her silently, then looked away and drove quietly.

Lin Xian could tell that the girl was blaming herself. He was also very tired at this moment. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and said, "This is the limit of what we can do."

Although her special ability has been enhanced by the energy of Hell Black Chrysanthemum many times, it is still beyond KIKI's ability to take care of hundreds of vehicles at a time, almost all of which are heavy vehicles.

"This stinky guy is so smart to come out of there."

"It seems that our detonation of the black bug's corpse had no effect, and only caused some confusion to the monster tide."

This phenomenon also fully demonstrated that Yu Yuheng's previous method of running away with blood was completely wrong. The abyss worm might not be afraid of it, or even if it was, it was the huge deterrent brought by Unit-01, not the same kind of plasma.

"Teacher Chen."

Driving into the snowy field, Lin Xian had no time to relax and immediately started contacting Infinity.

"Lin Xian, I'm here!" Chen Sixuan's voice came, making Lin Xian feel relieved.

"We have passed the pass. We still have about 40 minutes to get there. We are still on the same route. There are a lot of monsters. Our ammunition won't last long."

"Okay, I get it, be careful."

Although they had escaped the first wave of encirclement, Lin Xian was not at all reassured at this moment. In order to repel or even severely damage the abyss worm, many psychics including him had already gone all out and fired ammunition without reservation. If the expected effect was not achieved and the abyss worm rushed out again before they met up with Infinity and Longshan No. 1, the convoy would most likely be in danger.

The sky is gradually getting dark, and there is only one chance to attack. Although it is dangerous, he must do it without reservation. So even if Lin Xian has a complete plan, it is still a gamble.

"Everyone, pay attention to the alternating firepower. The road is now open, so keep in formation and let the Psychics and the Enhancers with good skills handle it at close range. If there are no four-legged monsters, try to reduce your firepower output."

"Captain Qian, your anti-aircraft guns should focus on suppressing those two flying-winged monsters. Do not fire unless they attack us. They should not dare to come out of the thundercloud now."

Lin Xian began to synchronize the communication frequency bands within the convoy.

"Also, pay attention to the condition of the train. When we get close to the track, Longshan No. 1 and Infinity will break through the ice and rush forward. The speed may be very fast, so you must keep up with them."

Lin Xian's words were conveyed by the leaders of each team. At this time, the drivers of each car looked extremely solemn and their attention was highly concentrated.

"The snowstorm has intensified. It looks like the temperature will drop further tonight!"

On the Longshan No. 1 all-terrain train, Ning Jing looked at the temperature gauge which was already at minus 59 degrees Celsius and frowned, saying, "We don't know the situation in Xilan City at the moment. I hope we can make it there before dark."

Inside the car, many team members accidentally got frostbite during the battle, especially on their hands and faces. Some even had their hands cracked and bleeding.

"Hold on, we'll be seeing the main force soon." Shi Diyuan walked across several carriages and shouted to his men.

After that, he picked up the communicator and contacted Lu Yong at Longshan No. 1.

"Yongzi, you need to preheat the artillery in advance. Don't let the barrel freeze in this weather. It will be ugly if it misfires."

"Kaka... Zizi... OK... Got it, Brother Shi."

In the armored vehicle of the Emperor Project team, Chen Wei was sitting in the back seat. A medical worker was giving him an injection and an infusion on his wrist. At the same time, another person was applying medicine to his hands. He had burns on the front and frostbite on the back. His hands were covered in blood and looked horrible.

"Hey, Chen Wei, how are you?!"

Yu Yuheng's voice came from the communicator.

"I won't die." Chen Wei closed his eyes and said calmly, "What about you?"

"Xiao Yang is dead." Yu Yuheng sighed and said, "He was in that car."

Chen Wei opened his eyes abruptly upon hearing this, took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anger and powerlessness...

On the polar car, rubbing, rubbing, rubbing.

Lin Xian activated his mechanical heart to repair the car windows and doors, blocking the cold wind outside. The heater in the car gradually took effect, and the air became warmer.

KIKI glanced at Xiaoqing next to her and said to her: "Hey, let me drive. I see you seem to want to do something."

Xiao Qing looked back at her, then looked at Lin Xian, and said softly:

"You guys... take a rest."

Her voice sounded cautious and mature. Lin Xian and KIKI were both a little tired. At this moment, a large number of snow monsters were rushing to the front of the formation. Ning Jing and Shi Diyuan had already climbed onto the roof of the Longshan No. 1 train next to them to deal with the strange tide. Xiaoqing also wanted to help, but Ning Jing gave her the task of driving, so she could only remain silent. Now, after hearing KIKI's words, she finally came to her senses, so she handed the steering wheel to KIKI, flew out with a knife in her hand, and joined the camp of killing the enemy.

KIKI sat cross-legged in the driver's seat, using two fingers' telekinesis to control the steering wheel and accelerator of the polar car, while at the same time holding up a telekinesis shield to block the snow monsters that suddenly jumped out from the snow field in front.

"When I heard Hu Lushou talk about the Emperor Project, I thought we could get a super-large mecha~"

KIKI said dimly: "In the end, I got myself into a lot of trouble and didn't get any benefits."

“If there is enough time, the mecha might... still be salvageable, but we can’t take it away,” Lin Xian said.

"You mean the Order of the Phoenix?"

"No, such a large mecha, except for combat use, is hoisted by the Hercules transport plane at other times. Now a Vulcan mecha can't be stuffed into the carriage, let alone this..."

"Oh, that's true, but it's very cool." KIKI looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Brother, don't you feel excited about such a cool mecha?"

Lin Xian's eyes were burning as he thought of the high-frequency blade chain sword of Unit-1 that killed an abyss worm, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Such an imperial mecha seemed to be born for his mechanical heart, and it was also one of the potential development directions of his mechanical heart.

Exhausted, Lin Xian leaned against the window of the polar car, watching the rolling convoy driving on the endless snowfield, the snow monsters wreaking havoc, gunfire bursting, and the resistance convoy of hundreds of people fighting with all their might. This seemed to be his first time to escape from the monster tide by car...

"The train is still safe..."

He murmured to himself that with hundreds of vehicles, several people would die in every overturned caravan. As the leader of a large convoy, the pressure seemed to be much greater than his.

Lin Xian seemed to understand Shu Qin a little bit, and he ran away, escaping death.

Tired, so tired.

Suddenly, there were flames, gunshots and killing outside, but Lin Xian felt exhausted. He leaned against the window dazed and fell asleep.

In his sleep, he returned to Jiang City and to the shelter of his apartment.

Beep, beep, the dark warning sound rang out. As usual, he pulled up the alloy iron gate made of mechanical powers, sprinkled deodorant in the corridor and at the door, turned off the lights, and stayed in the dark room, listening to the eerie noises coming from upstairs and downstairs, and feeling the whispers and roars outside on the street.

The wandering zombies passed by the charred frame of the car, and their rotten tracheas made a hissing sound.

Lin Xian sat on the floor in the corner of the bedroom with his dagger beside him, waiting for the night to deepen and for the dawn to come.

Whoosh~

There was a sound of wind coming from the living room. His windows had already been closed, so there was no possibility of any wind sound. Lin Xian searched the darkness and found a dark shadow standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room.

In an instant, he picked up the dagger and rushed out of the bedroom. There was no one outside.

But I found that the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony were completely open, and the night wind was howling, blowing the curtains fluttering.

Lin Xian walked out of the balcony with concentration, and when he looked up, he suddenly felt that his vision was blocked by a terrifying giant in the sky. His pupils quickly condensed and focused, and he saw a giant floating corpse that covered the sky and the sun, overlooking the entire Jiang City. The body as big as a continent moved slowly in the sky, completely blocking all the moonlight. The whole city seemed to be left with only rustling outlines.

"Creature No. 2, moving! Moving! Direction east, direction east!"

Suddenly, a hurried voice rang in my ears, as if someone was reporting with a communicator.

Lin Xian immediately looked sideways, but there was no one.

"Who are you!?"

Suddenly, the voice shouted sharply, and seemed to be coming towards him.

Lin Xian was immediately horrified. Who was in his home?

He turned around suddenly and found a dark shadow standing in the corner, seemingly looking at him.

"Lin Xian! Lin Xian!"

Wrapped in a warm force, Lin Xian felt that he had regained some energy. When he opened his eyes, he felt a chill coming over him.

[Vital signs detection: hypothermia, hypothermia! ]

The alarm of the power armor also sounded from far away to near in my ears.

hiss!

Lin Xian woke up immediately and looked at his watch. It was 17:40. He had been asleep for ten minutes.

Was that a dream just now? This was the second time he saw the giant floating corpse. The shock was still surging in his mind and his face was dazed.

Bang bang bang, da da da!

Outside the motorcade, the sound of gunfire and artillery fire gradually intensified. KIKI was driving the car at this time, shaking him with telekinesis, her little face full of anxiety: "What's wrong with you? I shook you for a long time but you didn't wake up."

Lin Xian's face turned pale. He took a few long breaths, rubbed his brows and said, "I was a little exhausted just now and fell asleep. I feel better now."

KIKI breathed a sigh of relief and said with some concern: "That move of yours is too energy-consuming, but it's really powerful. You were able to pierce that big bug."

Lin Xian nodded. Gravitational lens was his most powerful means now, but its shortcomings were also very obvious. In addition to consuming energy, it was difficult to use it during the day. If it weren't for the fact that these extremely cold whirlpools brought about strange bodies in the snow that could attack humans during the day, he really couldn't think of a place to use it.

"I found that the monsters didn't seem to be afraid of light itself."

Lin Xian said in a deep voice: "Have you noticed that these strange beings seem to become extremely unstable under the sunlight?"

KIKI thought for a moment and said, "At first I thought they were afraid of sunlight or ultraviolet rays, but I just found that this is not the case, especially those snow monsters, they seem to be torn apart by something."

Lin Xian nodded: "So the daytime is indeed safe for us. The Dark Tide is going to be completely covered by the polar night. The only advantage we humans have now is actually the dawn!"

Bang bang bang!

On the roof of Longshan No. 1, the fire line of the heavy machine gun swept over the top of the polar vehicle. The powerful metal jet instantly took away a snow monster that drilled out of the snow, and the ground was covered with blood.

Lin Xian opened the window and used the observation mode of the power armor to try to find the position of the Infinity in the snowfield in the blizzard. Because of the signal pole, the overall direction of the convoy did not deviate, but the sky was gradually getting dark, and it would be dark in more than an hour.

"We should be close to the northern track!"

Ning Jing's voice came from the communicator. She was standing on the roof of Longshan No. 1 car at this time. Her fist was covered with demon blood and she said into the communicator: "Captain Lin, is it time to start the train?"

"Not enough time!" Lin Xian shouted. She looked at her watch and calculated the distance.

In a snowstorm, the speed and direction of the car are always prone to deviations, so Lin Xian asked KIKI to find a nearby signal pole and drag it directly back to the car. The signal poles he made have numbers on them, which allows him to easily measure the distance to the train.

"It should be about 15 kilometers away, but now it is not visible at all."

If the Infinity starts to move, the direction of the signal pole closest to the train will be wrong. It would be best if the convoy could see the train visually, but in the storm at this time, the visible distance is less than 100 meters. Going back along the signal pole is the safest way. Once the train leaves, the entire convoy may lose its way and can only turn around and run towards Xilan City.

But at this time, the snow monsters in the entire snowfield began to gather towards the convoy in large numbers. Above the sky, huge winged creatures roared down, and occasionally flew over the convoy, trying to take away living people or overturn cars. Fortunately, there were anti-aircraft machine guns to suppress them. Once the convoy lost these heavy firepower suppression, the hundreds of people in the entire convoy would become lambs to be slaughtered.

"We can't see anything clearly, and they are asked to start early. It will be too difficult to reunite." Ning Jing said anxiously.

rub!

Shi Diyuan twisted the heads of the two snow monsters from the air and dropped them on the roof of the car. He said in a stern voice: "We should be able to receive the signal from the car within two kilometers. As long as the direction is right, there is no escape."

"Our speed can't catch up with Longshan No. 1. The snow is getting thicker and thicker. Once we start rushing forward, we can't slow down. We have to find the right time!" Ning Jing said.

"Reporting, this is Yu Yuheng from the Phoenix Technical Team."

Just as the convoy was facing huge pressure from the monster tide, and Infinity and Longshan No. 1 were waiting for the signal to start, Yu Yuheng's voice suddenly came from the communicator.

"Team Leader Yu, please speak." Lin Xian was constantly calculating the distance and thinking in his mind. At this time, he heard Yu Yuheng say in the communicator: "We just dropped a base antenna for testing. Currently, we can communicate with a straight-line distance of 2 kilometers, but this number is decreasing due to the impact of the blizzard. We need to reserve a safe distance."

Yu Yuheng was calculating quickly on a computer on a large snowmobile, and he said very quickly: "So I designed a simple mathematical model. Our current convoy speed is 60km/h, and the direction is 86 degrees to the north track. Ignoring the visual distance, we can only determine the direction through signal positioning. Captain Lin told me before that it takes 4-6 minutes for the train to break the ice and accelerate to at least 60km. If the speed is too fast, we can't catch up. If the speed is too slow, we will be dragged down by the snow monster tide. The best way is to start early, and we will also turn and catch up with the train at a speed of 60km..."

"Get to the point!" Lin Xian yelled. It was such a critical moment, and these researchers still liked to talk about the problem from the perspective of principles.

Yu Yuheng quickly completed the operation with his hands, then raised his glasses confidently and said in the communicator: "After entering the three-kilometer range, we can start the train immediately. We turn 30 degrees to the right and we can reconnect with the train in two minutes. As long as the direction and speed are correct, we will reunite with the train in four minutes. The error will not be too much."

Lin Xian was relieved when he heard this. He was upset just now because he wanted a more precise number, and Yu Yuheng just happened to solve his urgent problem.

"Okay, let's observe the direction of the signal and don't go astray!" Lin Xian said.

Apart from the increasing number of snow monsters pouring in like a tide from all directions, there was only the vast snowfield and the raging blizzard. In this case, the two-kilometer signal coverage range is actually just a very small signal point compared to the vehicle's driving speed. Once missed, the train will be completely lost. In this case, the only thing to do is to look for track traces all over the ground to chase it.
