Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 963 - 386: Breaking Curtain Device
16:50 in the afternoon, one hour and 7 minutes left until night falls.
The sky is overcast, with bouts of thunderstorms. The gates of Dawn City’s Number One City Wall have turned into a boiling cauldron of chaos.
The convoys that had originally intended to leave the city have mostly dissipated. Many waiting in line have been forced by the urgent circumstances to return to their gathering places. The danger of leaving the city and traveling in the dark is increasing with each passing moment.
The gateways in the south, north, and west of the city wall are completely open, with hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Outer City District pouring into the city like a deluge, a dense black mass of humanity. These survivors camped in the Outer City District are driven by a frenzied desire to live, their eyes filled with madness due to the relentless daily attacks they have endured, heightening their sensitivity and fear. The changes in Dawn City, compounded by the spread of the Star Abyss crisis information, have left them with no choice but to rush into the city in hopes of finding refuge behind the high walls.
The streets of the Outer City District are becoming deserted and desolate, as the rain intensifies. The once-crowded camps and shelters are now empty, with debris and trash strewn across the bloodstained, broken streets, continually washed away by the rain.
On the outermost suburbs, some convoys are still hurriedly packing their gear, while the engines of doomsday vehicles roar without stop.
Atop the high walls of the Number One City Wall, tens of thousands of garrison troops are fully armed. In the watchtowers, soldiers peer through binoculars at the endless stream of people below the towering hundred-meter walls, clustered together like ants, stretching for several kilometers.
At the city gate checkpoint, soldiers of the garrison and various mecha are on high alert, and every entrant must undergo Dark Mark detection.
Beep beep beep.
"Level 1 Mark, take them away for isolation."
"No, my daughter is only six years old, let her in, please!" pleaded a bespectacled man.
"Everyone knows that just one mark can cause a crisis inside the city. We have armed protection in the quarantine area, so please cooperate." The garrison soldier loudly maintained order.
"Then I’ll go with her!"
The father immediately picked up his daughter, handing his luggage to his wife and other companions, before being taken away by the garrison, amidst his wife’s cries.
In these doomsday times, no one knows if this hurried farewell will be their last.
The congestion, noise, cries, and roaring of car engines, all the entrance routes into the city have turned into a chaotic scene.
The hundred-meter doomsday great wall stands like a city spectacle, completely enclosing Dawn City. Every 500 meters, the menacing barrels of the "Hammer of Thor" 120mm electromagnetic railguns stand, with their charging blue light slithering between the rifling like a lightning serpent. As a base weapon, this electromagnetic railgun is several times more powerful than the G-3 Electromagnetic Railgun. The densely arranged Great Wall-50 Base Rail Cannon array fires 210mm self-loading destructive artillery shells, rainwater flowing beneath the ominously hollow barrels.
Apart from this, various heavy artillery, automatic machine guns, the 1130, along with the super high-temperature plasma beams, large pulse string vibrator, weapon channels on the city wall defense line, countless isolation nets, and every 500 meters in the Outer City District, heavy weapon watchtowers and iron wall isolation belts, along with the city’s air curtain-like defense network, underground missile systems, and the pulse laser sky array, combine to form Dawn City’s iron defense line.
The streets of the Old District have long since transformed into an iron jungle, with numerous doomsday armored vehicles clogging the streets and alleys, completely sealed off by defense nets. The city streets, buildings, windows, and doors have been arranged in defensive formations by survivors using various firearms.
The atmosphere of tension and fear spreads continuously as darkness approaches, filling the internal network with countless negative and despair-inducing messages.
[Three Star Abyss sieges devour, has the end of Dawn City arrived?]
[The dissolution of the Federation Government is definitely related to the Deep Red World. The Underground City simply can’t withstand the night; even high officials are fleeing!]
[Many of the big convoys have already run, the ones left have nowhere to go, what should we do?]
[Oh my God, someone was found in the outside quarantine zone with a Level 5 mark. There’s reportedly a sky monster appearing in Star Abyss No. 7; it must be S-Class!]
[Our world is doomed]
[Everyone needs to unite and get through tonight, then we can move out tomorrow!]
...
In the alley of Galagher Black Market, Lin Xian and his group looked at the chaotic crowd on the surrounding streets, all with heavy expressions.
"The expansion of the Extreme Night is intensifying; I’m afraid Jin Hai will be affected first," Ning Jing said to Lin Xian.
Lin Xian immediately said to Ning Jing, "Sister Jing, you and Qian Deli get in touch with Jin Hai and have the Joint Train and Sky Dome Train ready tonight to head into Dawn City by morning. Now that the Federation has disbanded, no one is in charge of us."
"The communication nodes between Dawn City and Jin Hai are controlled by the Federation, now probably in the hands of the garrison. Our messages might not get through," Jiang Yun said.
"Then we’ll fly back," Qian Deli said with a serious look. "There are always more solutions than problems. Without bringing the train, all these people can’t be moved."
Ning Jing nodded, and then said to Lin Xian, "Captain Lin, don’t worry, I will find a way with Qian Deli."
"I’ll handle the Star City Orbital Station and the Silver Star," Jiang Yun immediately said, "For the Joint Train to come in and defend, we need a large base for so many people."
"Alright." Lin Xian looked at Lu Xingchen and Monica, "Then Brother Huo and Monica go assist Jiang Yun and Chairman Jian. The infiltrations here will be handled by me, KIKI Shizhi, and Captain Zhou’s people."
"No problem." Monica crossed her arms, speaking with a serious tone.
