Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 1012 - 393: Nightfall

Subsequently, the first wall and over a million survivors witnessed an incredible spectacle beneath the electromagnetic gun’s luminous curtain. Above the overcast sky, a terrifying creature with twisted and bizarre limbs flickered through the clouds. Accompanying the mist was a tide of flying monsters descending from the heavens, akin to an apocalyptic flood.

In the next moment, on the first wall, thousands of Hammers of Thor, Great Wall Base Grenade Cannons, and 1130 self-propelled cannons all activated under the guidance of the fire control system and computational hub. Engines roared, and bases rotated, all the barrels aimed in unison at this moment!

A simultaneous roar of metallic barrage erupted from human forces!

October 5th, 2069, the 129th day of Apocalypse Day, at 16:01 in the afternoon.

Star Abyss unleashed the Dark Tide with an unprecedented speed of Extreme Night expansion, engulfing the whole of Dawn City. Almost simultaneously, this human citadel, home to over 200,000 troops and millions of civilians, with its towering walls and fierce artillery, descended into an epic-scale night battle tide.

The command center, led by Ye Lan, made the right judgment: the attack came from all directions, not just from the west and north of the city. Billions of zombies and Abnormal Bodies surged like mudslides through the hills and rivers, swiftly inundating the surrounding suburbs, roads, railways, forests, and fields around Dawn City.

Even the rain falling from the sky appeared chaotic and frantic due to the dense presence of flying creatures.

The battle fully commenced.

From the directions of Star Abyss No.5, No.7, and No.8, dozens of A-level and even Special-Level giant creatures emerged successively.

Whether in gigantic humanoid forms or twisted insect or beast Abnormal Bodies, they surged menacingly with the monster tide.

At this moment, the energy cannons, cluster bombs, automatic machine guns, electromagnetic rails, and weapons of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the human city walls all opened fire. The Mechanical Corps spearheaded the charge, with overwhelming firepower mowing down the dark creatures. The flamethrowers of the Fire God Mecha swept the battlefield. Under the searchlights and tracer bullets, soldiers seemed to glimpse those never-ending Abnormal Bodies.

Massive dark invasive auras swarmed towards the city, and mutations began to occur. However, they were quickly controlled as 16 anti-aircraft systems composed of Silent Hunters, Anti-aircraft Guns, Storm Missile Systems, and Pulse Laser Sky Arrays within Dawn City began firing at the sky. Thousands of pulse lasers shot towards the skies. After locking onto large Abnormal Bodies, Storm Missiles ignited one by one, launching from their silos!

Countless citizens hiding in underground shelters felt as if the entire city was burning and trembling. The roaring sounds filled their ears.

"Quiet, do not panic!"

"Do not fear, stay calm!" an emergency response officer from the Phoenix Society yelled into a loudspeaker, "Help each other out, trust in our military!"

Bang bang bang!!

Chen Sixuan hadn’t expected the battle to turn white-hot almost immediately.

On the light rail in the city, a fifteen-kilometer-long armed train furiously moved forward, constantly firing its heavy vehicle-mounted weapons at the sky, with red glow emanating from the 1130’s barrels.

"There’s an S-Class in the sky, Sha Sha, anti-aircraft!"

"Got it!"

At this time, Sha Sha, linked to the neural co-state system, sat within the cockpit of the interstellar hunter. With her hands raised, suddenly, the rail-mounted Shock Star Cannon on the shoulder of the many-thousand-ton Mecha lifted, locking onto a massive multi-winged creature flying towards the anti-aircraft position, and fired decisively.

Woo!

The intense energy converged, sending a ionic disturbance out hundreds of meters. In the next moment, a blazing white beam several meters in diameter burst forth from the Shock Star Cannon barrel, piercing the heavens and earth. The outer layers of the beam ionized the surrounding air into a blue plasma arc. Instantly, the strong light illuminated all walls of nearby city skyscrapers and streets, with even distant glass facades reflecting its brilliance. A fierce heatwave wrapped in powerful ions surged towards the large multi-winged creature, forcing those firing from the Joint Train to shield their eyes from its glare.

Boom!

Everyone felt a powerful shockwave of heat spreading out. Subsequently, the multi-winged creature in the high altitude kilometers away was suddenly sliced into segments, as if cut through with a laser through butter, and plummeted down with overlapping black and red high-temperature cross-sections at the breaks!

"That was at least an A-Level Abnormal Body, and it was taken out in one shot!"

Ning Jing, standing on the roof at this moment, said in amazement.

"The Orbit Shock Star Cannon is truly fierce!"

"Watch out!"

Bang!

Chen Sixuan’s sniper rifle fired, instantly blasting a fast-approaching palm-sized black small Abnormal Body towards Ning Jing in mid-air.

Ning Jing reacted, looking up into the sky, to find a black cloud like a swarm of bees sweeping down over the city buildings.

"Retreat inside the train, use the flamethrowers!"

...

At the Double Star Tower command center, Ye Lan watched all defensive zones that had fallen into full engagement in a short span of time, his gaze grew slightly solemn.

"Report, a Special-Level creature has appeared in Zone 9 of the western city. The 3rd and 7th battalions of the 4th division of the Iron Guard Brigade have suffered major casualties!"

"Report, in Zone 5 of the northern city, 4 A-level and 1 Special-Level creatures appeared simultaneously. The 11th Armored Division of the garrison and the joint defense forces have lost contact outside the city. The city wall faced energy cluster attacks and has a significant breach!"

"Report, the White Cloud City District joint defense position suffered substantial aerial attacks, and the anti-aircraft fire network cannot fully cover it. Several blocks have fallen, and some civilian convoys and garrison forces are providing support!"

"Report, the 7th squad of the 1st Superpower Combat Team lost contact in the airspace 4300 meters above the southern city, and the air patrol ship is conducting a joint rescue!"

In no time, a torrent of battle damage and urgent frontline reports flooded through, leaving Ye Lan and a multitude of Phoenix Society officials standing before the command screen in an atmosphere of profound gravity.

"Have there been any movements detected from the S-Class?"

"The Sky Touch is observing from a few thousand meters in the air, and there are seismic waves detected in Zone 7 of the southern city, possibly indicating an Earth Surge. Beyond that, there have been no other observation reports," the reporting officer said.

"The S-Class possesses considerable intelligence and might be testing our counterattack capabilities."

"Should we provoke it into action?"

"No, it’s too early for engagement. The Emperor ’Heavenly God Group’ hasn’t arrived yet, and Lin Xian may also still need time..." Ye Lan said.

The reporting officer said at this moment, "According to the Heart of the Galaxy statistics, 164 mutations have already occurred internally within 30 minutes. Although all were swiftly dealt with, the rate of infection surpasses any prior war scale."

Ye Lan shook his head: "The S-Class hasn’t come out yet, and the infection peak hasn’t reached its limit. We must hold back the battle!"
