Rumble!

In the rear area surrounded by the 22 Iron Guard Brigade, a construction battalion composed of dozens of bulldozers, six all-terrain track laying machines, and thousands of construction drones was bustling on this empty plain. The track laying machine was pounding alloy steel rails into the scorched earth, and under Viola’s control, the drones were hovering like a silver swarm to weld. Metal components from various battlefields were being disassembled and manufactured here, then assembled into sections of track laid out.

However, despite such productivity, the advancement speed remained exceptionally slow. Besides intense battle conditions, the primary reason was the lack of materials.

Without prefabricated tracks, the drone’s disassembly and assembly speed was extremely slow. Moreover, tracks assembled mostly from various metal frames could not satisfy the weight-bearing capacity of such a massive train group. More effort was required to continuously transport and disassemble tracks from other areas for laying.

And now, the train force had chosen the east line to advance, not just to avoid the Grand Canyon, but also to connect to the closer east line track!

Slash!

A crimson centipede as thick as a truck tire poked its head out from the soil, only to have its head cleaved by the Steel-cutting Giant Sword of the Black Dragon Battle Armor.

Da Lou lifted the Giant Sword and continued scanning while Shu Qin on the other side pressed her headset.

"Watch the radar, these things love to come out from underground, also the crimson insects."

Da Lou and Shu Qin, in their Black Dragon Battle Armor, were rigorously protecting the construction team. They were not the main defense line, but countless crimson insects and threats from the sky, along with hunting bodies that could appear at any time, were their concern.

"Everything seems to be coming in this direction, how strange." Lv Chang, wielding an electric knife, charged out from a crimson scene, followed by a dozen Infinity team members. The shoulder cannon of his Power Armor shattered three bone spike zombies, and pus blood splattered on the Power Armor Mask only to evaporate instantly. He panted heavily, looking around, and said: "Do the monsters know what we’re doing?"

"Don’t get complacent."

Sun Yuzhen, wings spread, flew over with two Pulse Cannons in hand, her body covered in monster ichor: "The Tower People are high-dimensional civilizations; we can’t think of these monsters as simple monsters."

"Alright then..."

With a deep rumble, barely catching a breath, a swarm of centipedes glowing with light emerged from the sandy ground. These giant centipedes could rapidly devour electrical energy, and their biological force fields were terrifyingly strong; regular heat weapons couldn’t penetrate them.

"Be careful."

Lv Chang heard Da Lou’s voice and just turned around when suddenly a blue electric chain crashed into the insect tide, the smell of scorching mixed with blue smoke rising to the sky, the violent ionization sent shivers through the group.

"Whoa... impressive!" Lv Chang shouted, unable to hide his awe, looking at the youth in the dust and smoke.

"Hey, this trick is called Thunder!" Mo Xiaotian, his body flashing with electric light, raised his arms and roared, his tender face flushed purple-red due to superpower overload.

"Everyone, look!"

Sun Yuzhen pointed at the sky, shouting to the crowd. Countless people raised their heads to look at the high-altitude, where the scarlet fog was torn apart and then merged again by the Deep Blue Light Spear of the Orbit Shock Star Cannon. The Sky Dome Train hung like a black giant god at an altitude of three thousand meters, with the weapon array on the ship spitting fire, and each salvo from the triple-mounted cannon tubes boiling the clouds, blasting the falling meat-colored tentacles into acid blood rain.

Within the scarlet cloud, a gigantic atmospheric shadow madly swirled countless appendages, sweeping towards the ground troops, its scale hidden within the clouds even more terrifying than the S-Class [Sky Touch] at Dawn City.

Behind the battle of the Sky Dome Train, a white-hot aerial battle was simultaneously unfolding!

The Thunder Fleet’s "Sea Suppression" Far Star-class Starship Main Cannon screeched. Hundreds of "City Burner" missiles poured out from the Hive Bomb Bay of two Dreadnought-class Air Carriers, their crimson trails weaving a web of death among the thunderstorm. The Lightning Fighter group flew like silver shuttles through the forest of bone spur-like tentacles, exploding with chain reactions in the monster’s abdomen, as burning flying wing creature remnants rained down to the earth like meteorites.

"Keep the firepower up, make sure the construction team is safe, don’t let anything fall down!"

On the bridge of the Sea Suppression, Wu Xiangqun, the leader of the Thunder Fleet, spoke coldly: "First Flight Squadron and Second Flight Squadron take turns to cover, your main task is to attack those cloud-draped feet, use large maneuvers to dodge!"

"Ryuji!" On the ground, Da Lou spun around and cleaved an approaching stinger snake, the blade stuck between the bones, he shouted: "We’ll handle this, you support from the deck!"

Within the dust and blood fog, twenty metal giants, each fifteen meters tall, fought against the insect swarm in the front. Hearing Da Lou’s call, Ryuji nodded slightly, and the twenty metal giants suddenly decomposed into a torrent of parts, roaring towards the Sky Dome Train.

On top of the Sky Dome Train, the scene resembled a meat grinder. All the flying Abnormal Bodies crashing against it were suppressed by the wild firepower of the Sky Dome Train, accompanied by a sonic weapon invisibly slicing through the clouds, causing massive annihilation.

Standing in the ship tower wearing Power Armor gifted by Lin Xian, Monica’s expression remained stern as she continuously released Sound Roar Sword. She was supported by KIKI with spiritual power and crimson protection. Meanwhile, Ning Jing handled close-range defense, and the golden-glinting Qian Deli was responsible for guarding the weapon array on the Sky Dome Train.

"They’re getting smarter, knowing to attack our weapons first instead of the people."

A golden beam pierced through large swathes of clouds and flying wing creatures. Qian Deli landed gracefully on the top of the ship tower, shaking off the meat scraps from his toes while peering at the clouds.

"That S-Class has been hiding for so long, shouldn’t it show itself now?"

Ning Jing stood on the deck, clenching her fist with a cold voice: "I feel it’s waiting for the night."

"Night..."

Qian Deli scoffed: "This damned place, does it make any difference whether it’s night or not?"

"Perhaps these crimson Abnormal Bodies also enjoy the thrill of the hunt?" Ning Jing responded: "Or maybe they’ve realized we can’t escape their range easily, so they’re not in a hurry."

"Yeah... can’t see them as mere monsters, perhaps they’re even smarter than humans."

Qian Deli sighed helplessly. The majority of the train group lived onboard, and even without considering resources, moving such a large population was impossible relying solely on Lei Zhen or Infinite Alliance’s vehicle fleet—that was one of their current dilemmas.

"If Lin Xian were here, that guy could lay kilometers of track in seconds. As long as the trains get moving, we wouldn’t be so passive."

Ning Jing glanced towards the main bridge direction and resumed her defense: "Quit chomping, focus on the weapon array, especially the Orbit Shock Star Cannon, it’s dangerously overheated. If it fails, we’ll be in trouble against this monster."

Within the Sky Dome Train’s main bridge, Sha Sha was operating all weapon systems furiously in retaliation, busy beyond belief. In the huge bridge—a space only occupied by her and Chen Sixuan.

"Sister Chen, this stupid octopus keeps attacking the ground using its kind’s biological force field to guard against our cannons. Should we just use the Hai Bo Long space-based weapon Lin Xian left? Let’s see where it’ll hide then?"

At the helm, Chen Sixuan’s face was frosty, devoid of any gentle shadow left behind. Hearing Sha Sha’s suggestion, she spoke calmly.

"No need, it’s cunning, but as long as our tracks keep moving forward, it will have to show itself, and then..."

"We’ll shoot it down from the sky!"

...

Clang clang.

On the tranquil plain, a heavy train charged at astonishing speed amidst countless drones in the scarlet fog with zero visibility. Nearing nightfall, its speed increased dramatically.

Along the road, some peculiar zombies howled and chased swiftly, but the train paid no heed to these monsters, its iron wheels sparking as it sped along.

"This area is near the Pacific Ocean, over there is Lake Nicaragua, the two sides are less than thirty kilometers apart, we need to be careful."

In the cockpit, KIKI crossed her arms, scrutinizing the mobile terminal in front, which showed views transmitted by the drones.

"Then we’ll have to accelerate; we have to enter Mexico by tonight."

Lin Xian’s eyes flickered with electric light, the engines roared accelerating, the Infinity team tore through the wind violently.

[Grace Reporting]

Just then, Grace’s voice appeared in Lin Xian’s mind.

"What’s up?"

[Through crimson visual locking, detected large-scale biological forms approximately 200 kilometers southwest of North America’s Arizona Colorado Canyon.]

Lin Xian frowned as he heard this, wasn’t that right in the area of the train group?

[Please confirm, should we conduct ground strikes?]

"Of course."

Lin Xian’s gaze darkened, he spoke coldly.

"Aim for me!"
