Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 920 - 377: Outer City District

Perhaps Lin Xian wouldn’t have thought that after the apocalypse, entering this largest human city in the Asia-Pacific would require infiltration.

The group looked solemn, the "Swordfish" transport ship docked in a dilapidated street far from the outskirts of Dawn City. Dozens of zombies, attracted by the commotion, howled and gathered around. The hatch opened, but no one moved inside. A sharp metallic gleam swiftly and silently slashed out, slicing a swath of zombies in an instant. Then, the metallic gleam retracted, and a purple-haired, twin-tailed girl surged out, surrounded by telekinesis waves. Countless blades flew back to her side, neatly overlapping.

At this moment, Lin Xian quickly descended from the transport ship. Although it was still over twenty kilometers from here to the No. 1 wall of Dawn City, the place they had stopped was already on the outskirts of a dense urban area. Looking up, the broken, dark city sprawled like a sea, and in the distance loomed an enormous wall, as if stretched between heaven and earth. The hundred-meter-high giant wall seemed like an industrial marvel, enclosing the vast expanse of Dawn City. Tonight, under the sparse moonlight, the silhouette of the Double Star Tower could faintly be seen.

"Buildings over 100 meters won’t have lights on, so from the outside, all you can see is the city wall."

Jian Xuwei walked out from Lin Xian’s side and spoke.

"Is it really useful to build such high walls?" KIKI asked at this moment. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"There is some use," Monica said with a light smile, standing beside Lin Xian and giving him a meaningful look, "During the Xilan City battle, if not for the industrial walls’ defense, we wouldn’t have lasted even two nights."

Lin Xian nodded in agreement: "Yes, these walls weren’t built for S-Class preparations. If it weren’t for the Abyss Worm, even ordinary A-level or Special Level would find it hard to break through, and Dawn City’s firepower is a hundred times stronger than Xilan City’s."

"It’s just a pity—both the walls and the Underground City, yet there’s no hope to be seen at all."

Qian Deli spoke solemnly, "Chairman Jian, are we stopping here to walk into Dawn City on foot?"

Jian Xuwei remained silent, her sharp gaze fixed on the dark street ahead.

"Everyone, be careful, there are many targets approaching ahead." Lu Xingchen, who hadn’t exercised for a while, followed Lin Xian to Dawn City. Having received information beforehand, he felt a significant sense of responsibility, his eyes sparkling with excitement as if he had already detected distant movements.

"They’re not Abnormal Body monsters; they’re humans," Shi Zhi quickly said, "Many people."

Lin Xian’s expression grew serious. At this moment, a rumbling sound gradually approached from afar, sparks flew, engines roared. A convoy armed to the teeth sped down the dilapidated, dark street. Zombies and abandoned vehicles on the street were knocked aside by a locomotive that resembled an all-terrain train, followed by a dozen or so various modified trucks and special vehicles.

But to Lin Xian, the convoy seemed peculiar. Though the vehicles were externally fortified with all sorts of steel plates and adorned with wild graffiti, giving off an apocalyptic style, Lin Xian instantly noticed that their configuration was much more advanced than it appeared. Perhaps wary of alarming anyone, the convoy used no weapons, merely driving straight through.

At this moment, Jian Xuwei stepped forward and raised her hand to halt the others’ guarded posture: "They’re with us, no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Brother Huo and the others tempered their battle readiness. The convoy thundered forward and stopped a hundred meters from the front of the transport ship. The glaring headlights made Lin Xian’s group squint. Then, car doors opened continuously, and a group of people gathered and walked towards Lin Xian.

The equipment of this group was also extremely advanced, almost all wearing Ghost Wolf or Iron Hunter level Power Armor, with formidable weapons in hand. As they walked over, the leader swiftly approached Jian Xuwei. The helmet of the Power Armor opened, revealing a slightly young but troubled face.

Lin Xian recognized him; he was Jian Xuwei’s brother, Jian Zeyang. Lin Xian had interacted with him before at Yu Bei Airport.

"Sis, everything’s ready!"

Jian Xuwei nodded, she turned back to look at Lin Xian: "Zeyang, following my arrangements, has been operating in the outer city of Dawn City. It’s convenient for intelligence gathering, and there are many survivors here, which enables us to amass strength."

Lin Xian expressed surprise, "I thought your brother was controlled by Zhou Mingyuan?"

"Not really; I was forced to cooperate mainly because of the overall situation. The Finger Group’s assets and personnel are vast, and in many ways, I do need to rely on Dawn City’s power."

Jian Zeyang saw Lin Xian, his eyes brightened. He quickly stepped forward, wiped his hands, and then offered his hand to Lin Xian:

"Captain Lin, long time no see. I haven’t had the chance to thank you for your help in Yu Bei City. I have a foul mouth, and my attitude was bad before, please don’t mind."

Lin Xian was slightly taken aback by Jian Zeyang’s change. He seemed like a different person, more weathered, devoid of the previous arrogance, and more composed.

"I don’t remember you offending me. In such circumstances, anyone might have doubts," Lin Xian replied, shaking his hand. But Jian Zeyang’s eyes were earnest, and he said continuously: "No, mainly I didn’t know you were so amazing, Captain Lin! I heard all about the Xilan City incident, the Super Large Mecha, the First Kill S-Class, it’s incredible." He grinned, clearly admiring Lin Xian.
