Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 969 - 387: 8-Winged Angel! (10,000)

Rumble, the thunder exploded.

Dark clouds churned over Dawn City, pouring rain engulfing the entire city in a curtain of rain.

At the southern city gate, the garrison on the high wall looked extremely tense, the fear of the night in the apocalypse made everyone exceptionally sensitive, with no whispers or smiles, faces filled only with fear of the unknown.

The sky was frighteningly dark, and the commander in the B2 defense sector held optical binoculars, looking at the crowded lines in the Outer City District, and then checked the time, his face growing more anxious.

"There are still at least tens of thousands here, speed up the pace!"

"The city is already packed, the convoys must coordinate, or all areas will be blocked!" someone shouted on the communicator.

"The Dawn Watcher Alliance, Windwalker Alliance, and Common Alliance convoys are already helping guide the crowd, but there are just too many people."

The officer in charge of the passage shouted, "The problem is there are too many vehicles, big trucks, modified vehicles, clogging the streets, if it continues like this, the city’s main roads will be paralyzed, the convoys behind must give up some of their vehicles!"

"Abandon vehicles, let survivors enter the city to stay overnight!!"

With the command given, all city gates began to execute it, and survivors who had not yet entered the city panicked, as vehicles were their mobile shelter, not many wanted to willingly abandon them under such circumstances.

But seeing the sky thickening with darkness, the thunderstorm rolling, some decisive survivors began to abandon their vehicles, grab their belongings, weapons, and families, and started running into the city on foot, inspiring many other long-blocked survivors, resulting in more and more vehicles being abandoned.

"How long until nightfall?" asked the commander on the wall, looking at the dark sky, where the clouds and rain made it hard to distinguish between day and night.

"Reporting, sir, there should be 30 minutes left!"

The commander frowned deeply, as if hearing something below the wall, he quickly stepped forward, but below the wall it was pitch black like an abyss, the once-visible streets and houses of the Outer City District seemed to have been swallowed up.

"Spotlight."

"A1 A2 spotlight!"

At that moment, several garrison soldiers, armed, approached, but the spotlight swept over, revealing nothing.

The commander retreated, reminding everyone, "Star Abyss’s black night tide is unusually expanding, the predicted time may not be stable..."

Swish!!!

Before he could finish speaking, a gigantic tentacle covered in black scales suddenly appeared from behind, its front splitting into a fanged giant mouth, swallowing half the commander’s body in one bite, tearing apart even the Power Armor.

Ratatat!!

In an instant, all the automatic cannons on the wall opened fire, and the soldiers, terrified by the horrific scene, broke into a cold sweat before finally reacting a second later.

"Abnormal Body!"

"Open fire!"

Bam bam bam!

Woo~

Suddenly, Dawn City’s defense weapons erupted in torrents of fire, spotlights scanned again, revealing a mass of monstrous limbs and Abnormal Bodies climbing dozens of meters high beneath the wall like a tidal wave, covering massive swathes of the Outer City District streets and buildings. The black mist wave seemed like a natural barrier, and no one had expected the black night tide to arrive so much earlier.

The battle ignited instantly; in the sky above, various flying Monsters surged densely beneath the dark clouds, while at the city gate, under the roar of massive artillery and the Monster Tide, countless evacuees abandoned their vehicles and scrambled densely toward the city. A distressed couple had barely left their car when a massive black centipede swallowed them whole from the darkness behind.

Ground was covered with earthworms, monstrous insects, Uncanny Humans, stitched-together humanoid monsters, and giant Fog Spiders swarming out en masse, the sounds of screams, gunfire, and thunderstorm converging in mere minutes, leaving those surviving outside the city surrounded like prey and many dying.

Darkness surged like a tide, with tens of thousands of survivors running desperately.

"Run, head for the city walls!!"

The man dragged his wife and daughter past an overturned truck; the daughter’s small shoe got lost, and her foot was cut to a bloody mess by broken glass.

"Daddy... I can’t run anymore..."

The man suddenly bent down, hoisting her on his shoulders, spraying gunfire madly behind him.

"Hold on tight!" The next second, a terrifying shadow lunged from the side—his wife pushed the father and daughter away forcefully, getting dragged into the darkness herself, leaving only a brief cry of "Run—"

Meanwhile, defense outposts in the Outer City were firing with all their might, with scattered people from the Monster Tide only able to resist while drawing near the garrison’s posts, like isolated islands in darkness.

"Quick, over here!!" shouted a garrison soldier atop a watchtower, firing madly while yelling at the scattered survivors.

"Come on, we’ve got plenty of bullets today!" roared a soldier, biting his teeth as he fired a large Fire God Gatling.

Unexpectedly, as hundreds gathered near the defense watchtower, a massive shadow with wings tens of meters wide suddenly swooped down from the sky.

Boom!

The entire watchtower area overshadowed in darkness and smoke vanished in a flash.

Buzz buzz buzz.

Inside Dawn City, a dense swarm of attack drones flew, bombarding Monsters trying to enter the city, with the Pulse Laser Sky Array resembling a blue net shooting toward the sky. Each shot of the Great Wall Base Cannon’s 210mm damaged artillery obliterated a half-football-field-sized Monster Tide area, scattering dismembered insects, and countless Mjolnir Electromagnetic Railguns fired dazzling electromagnetic salvoes toward the large-bodied Abnormal Bodies in darkness, suppressing the raging tides.

"A total of 16 defense sectors are engaging, scale beyond Level 4."
