Apocalypse: I Built the Infinite Train-Chapter 142: Wrath

"OK, I accept your resignation." Taylor’s gaze turned sharp as she sneered. "Since you’re no longer employees of the Federal Government, I can now officially classify you all as terrorists plundering federal assets. Isn't this the outcome you were hoping for?"

"Terrorists? I don’t think so."

Lin Xian stared at the dozens of gun barrels aimed at him without a trace of fear on his face. He slowly raised his hands and said loudly, "Do you really think you’re the only ones with guns?!"

Click! Click! Click!

The sharp sound of a safety being disengaged rang out, and the cold, black muzzle of a Remington M96 was suddenly pressed against Taylor’s forehead.

Shu Qin!

At the same time, Luo Ye, Xu Jin, Old Mo, and over a hundred armed convoy members all raised their weapons, standing behind Lin Xian and aiming at Taylor and her Security Regiment. Even Shasha, with her small frame, stood beside Lin Xian, confidently gripping a grenade launcher as she glared at the blonde woman before her.

"Haha! This woman still thinks she represents the government? Now she's resorting to robbing survivors?"

From the side, Shi Diyuan from Dragon Mountain No.1 let out a laugh, snapping his fingers. His men immediately pulled out their weapons, pointing them at Taylor's group as well.

"Perfect timing! I’ve had enough of you government lapdogs. Go on, try firing a shot if you dare!"

The situation was on the verge of exploding into an all-out battle!

"You people are insane! Do you dare challenge the Federal Government?!"

Taylor’s face twisted with rage as she shouted, "Zhan Wei, I order you to execute these criminals on the spot!"

Zhan Wei, the head of the Security Regiment, was a man in his thirties with a military-style crew cut. Seeing how tense the situation had become, he hesitated.

"Captain?"

One of his subordinates shot him a concerned glance. "What do we do?"

"Hold your ground. Don't fire on the civilians," Zhan Wei said in a hushed tone.

If the Security Regiment clashed with the Survivors' Alliance here, it would trigger complete chaos. And with the zombie horde already besieging the city, no one wanted a bloody internal conflict.

"The Federal Government? Ha! I spit on it!"

Xu Jin spat on the ground, gripping his rifle tightly.

"When the disaster struck, the first thing you did was abandon the people. And now you have the audacity to call yourselves the government?"

Xu Jin’s words were like a spark thrown onto dry tinder.

Though the natural disaster wasn’t the government’s fault, they had abandoned the common people, leaving them to fend for themselves. And now, instead of defending the spaceport, they were only concerned with protecting their so-called first-class citizens.

Fury spread like wildfire. The survivors, their faces twisted in anger, began closing in on the Security Regiment, their numbers rapidly increasing.

"Yeah! Phoenix is the one running the rescue efforts now—what the hell are you even doing?"

"Where the f*** were you during the Polar Night?"

"Cowards!"

"F*** the Federal Government!"

"Go crawl back into your underground bunkers and eat s***!"

The rage of the crowd was overwhelming.

The Security Regiment members looked around in panic, shifting their weapons uneasily. But there were simply too many survivors surrounding them.

Lin Xian watched the scene unfold, smirking internally. Looks like I’m not the only one who’s fed up with this so-called government.

Every survivor here had experienced loss—families torn apart, loved ones dead. Now, all that anger was being directed at the Federal Government, and Taylor, a mere senior officer, couldn’t possibly withstand the fury of so many people.

Taylor’s face was flushed with rage, her chest rising and falling sharply as she shouted, "You! You people! Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Rebel? That’s not your call to make, Taylor."

A powerful voice suddenly rang out, cutting through the tension.

From outside the crowd, a large unit of Iron Guard Brigade soldiers marched in swiftly. These were heavily armed troops wearing powered exoskeletons, their presence instantly imposing.

Seeing the Iron Guard Brigade arrive, many survivors instinctively stepped aside.

Lin Xian’s gaze landed on the middle-aged woman leading the soldiers—she wore a military uniform emblazoned with a crimson phoenix insignia.

Phoenix!

And to Lin Xian’s surprise, standing among the troops was a familiar face—Jiang Yun.

Taylor’s expression changed drastically upon seeing the newcomers, but she still lifted her chin arrogantly.

"Captain Bai, I am here under orders to investigate this district. Are you interfering with a federal operation?"

The middle-aged woman, known as Captain Bai, swept her sharp gaze over Taylor, not even bothering to acknowledge her authority.

"There is no federal operation here. The spaceport platform is now under the joint command of Phoenix and Iron Guard Brigade 52. Do not disrupt order."

Taylor’s eyes flashed with fury.

"Ridiculous! Yubei Spaceport belongs to the Federation! You think you can just take over?!"

She glanced at the Iron Guard soldiers behind Bai and sneered, "You Iron Guards have been losing battles from Maple City to Chong’an to Xinglong. You have no real skills, yet you dare point your guns at the Federal Government?"

Her words immediately enraged the Iron Guard soldiers.

"If you still don’t understand, I have no problem removing you from the spaceport myself," Bai Shuang said coldly, her voice laced with finality.

As soon as she spoke, the heavily armed Iron Guard soldiers adjusted their grips on their weapons, making their threat clear.

Though Bai Shuang's tone remained calm, her overwhelming presence left Taylor visibly shaken.

Taylor's Security Regiment numbered fewer than a hundred, while Bai Shuang had an entire battalion of Iron Guard Brigade 52 behind her. After the collapse of the Federal Government, the Starfleet and Iron Guard Brigade had sided with Phoenix, leaving Taylor’s Dawn Project with no real power.

Taylor’s face paled as she looked at the weapons aimed at her. She couldn’t afford a direct confrontation with Phoenix and the survivors. Gritting her teeth, she glared at Lin Xian and Bai Shuang.

"Don’t think this is over! I will report this incident—federal assets will be reclaimed!"

"Looking forward to it." Lin Xian scoffed.

He had no intention of bowing to the so-called government. His team had fought tooth and nail to acquire their loot—there was no way they were giving it up for free.

And the more Taylor resisted, the clearer it became—the Blood Scourge Flora must be extremely valuable.

With that, Taylor stormed off with her team, her subordinates Zhao Yan and Xu Wen shooting Lin Xian and Ding Junyi a complex look before hurriedly following her.

"Yeah, get lost!"

"F*** your government!"

"Rot in hell, you pieces of s***!"

The surrounding survivors cheered as Taylor’s group retreated in disgrace.

At that moment, Bai Shuang approached Lin Xian. Before she could speak, Jiang Yun stepped forward to introduce them.

"Captain Bai, this is Lin Xian, convoy leader of the Infinite Train."

"Lin Xian, this is Bai Shuang, head of the Phoenix Spaceport Emergency Response Unit. She was the one who arranged for you to fast-track through the platform earlier."

"So that’s what happened."

Lin Xian nodded in understanding and looked at Bai Shuang with gratitude.

"Much appreciated."

"No need to thank me. Jiang Yun briefed me on your convoy, so we waived the emergency inspection."

Hearing this, Lin Xian raised an eyebrow.

Since when did Jiang Yun get close to Phoenix’s leadership?

Bai Shuang’s gaze swept over the convoy leaders.

"Since you’re all here, let me get straight to the point. The spaceport is facing an emergency situation, and we need support."

"Emergency?" Shi Diyuan asked.

Bai Shuang pointed towards the massive Ascending Elevator.

"There’s an enemy obstruction."
