Chapter 1336: Chapter 515: Eye in the Sky (Part 2)
"That’s good news."
"That’s good news." The voice of General Luo, the Chief of Staff, was calm and powerful: "Whether the judgment is accurate or not, positive emotions are always better than despair. Continuous fierce battles coupled with internal mutations have already cost us dearly."
"Yes, this is indeed good news."
Jiang Yun turned to look at Sean and Marcus from the Utopia and said, "Looks like we gambled correctly; the pattern hasn’t repeated."
"With concentrated resources and expanded facilities, the speed should be much faster than the previous build-and-fight strategy."
"It’s probably the only solution we have now." Marcus smiled at Jiang Yun, "We’ve never thought before about laying tracks across an entire state for survival."
Jiang Yun shrugged, "That’s the downside of trains, but the advantage is their large carrying capacity and strong protection, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to save so many people."
"No matter how large the carrying capacity, the tracks have limits." Sean, the leader of Utopia, turned around, "Trains are not starships; they don’t fly. Their ultimate fate is to reach Ushuaia, but unfortunately... we haven’t even made it out of North America."
Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow at those words: "Speaking of flying... I do know a friend who has always wanted the train to fly, and indeed, he’s managed to do it."
"You’re talking about that Sword Holder, right?"
Sean said, "What you did during the resistance in Dawn City shocked our entire European battlefield. Mechas descended from the sky, breaking through the Heavenly Veil, South Heavenly Gate firing, truly spectacular, even wiped out the corpse chasers."
"Indeed..."
Jiang Yun looked at the densely packed drone clusters and various newly-built loading lines within the factory, murmuring, "If he were here, this factory wouldn’t be necessary at all."
...
Today, the Colorado Canyon area was extraordinarily quiet. From dawn until the afternoon, there was no appearance of any scarlet zombies or monster tides. On various defense lines, except for occasional energy-devouring worms that weren’t very threatening, it was as peaceful as an afternoon before the apocalypse, with the only difference being the scarlet doomsday sky.
The major train fleets took advantage of this rare rest period, constantly repairing trains, cleaning armor, recasting panels, and troubleshooting various circuit issues. Meanwhile, weapons and food were being reorganized, and within the millions of people, the established train cable channels facilitated exchanges of supply between nearby fleets. Doctors, mechanics, and technicians were busily assisting in different fleets, forming a temporary apocalyptic social system.
However, exchanges were just exchanges; true material exchanges were limited to nearby fleets. After all, this train dragon added up to over a hundred kilometers, and several sections were not connected, along with two to three hundred thousand cars and the Iron Guard Brigade troops, the frontline direction was too long. Fortunately, intelligence information could be communicated in real time, allowing the command center centered around General Luo and several major fleets to coordinate and dispatch timely.
On the Sky Dome Train, Chen Sixuan, who had held out for a day, had Shu Qin and Shi Zhi take over and return to her room. Ning Jing, Ah Bai, and Xiao Qing rejoined Dragon Mountain No. 1 to assist Shi Deyuan after killing the S-Class. Now Dragon Mountain No. 1 had a team of over 6,000 people and absorbed much new blood. Qian Deli had Xiao Meng take all the members of the joker fleet into the Sky Dome Train, freeing up the original train for other emergency fleet members.
On the contrary, Monica was quite carefree. Her Queen Mo was originally modified into the new Infinity, and the members also moved into the Sky Dome Train. Except, the squad of women rescued from the Akse Desert were equipped with the best power armor and boarded the Sky Dome, making Lv Chang unable to help but complain if there were too many women on the Unlimited Fleet...
However, Chen Sixuan did not oppose Monica and Qian Deli’s decision to join Infinity with their entire squad. In her view, these teams were originally life-and-death partners, and the standard Sky Dome cabin sections were intended for carrying people. Currently, all children, elderly, and women in the Infinite Alliance fleet had entered the Sky Dome Train after the air battle, and nearly 2,000 people had settled in the Sky Dome Train’s life cabin.
If not temporarily unable to abandon the firepower of Silver Star, Dragon Mountain No. 1, and needing the mobility of He Linqiu’s several vehicle fleets, perhaps half of the Infinite Alliance’s tens of thousands of people would have boarded the Sky Dome Train already. After all, such a large vessel could take away quite a few people at critical moments.
Swish, creak.
In the bathroom, Chen Sixuan, who hadn’t closed her eyes for several days and nights, took a hot shower. Her smooth body and back, with several hideous scars, were reflected in the misty mirror.
From the Pacific Ocean to Colorado, her power armor had shattered multiple times. The intense dark energy corrosion made those wounds slow to heal, accompanied by bone-eating, searing pain and mental shock.
After bathing, Chen Sixuan injected herself with a cold dark reagent, and with a rush of pure dark energy into her body, her once tired face regained a few traces of vitality.
In the safe beside her lay the Silver Dragon Ten Thousand Mistakes waiting to bloom. Chen Sixuan got up and put on the inner liner suit again. The nanometer battle armor quickly covered her entire body from the feet, and the Meteor Sniper Rifle taller than her was lifted with one hand. At this moment, she gazed at the flower bud in the container, eyes slightly moving, murmuring
