Chapter 1372: Chapter 531: Omen of Destruction (Part 2)
"Understood."
Lin Xian frowned, "It looks like the Angel Fusion has begun."
Chu Yan looked ahead, "At this speed, who knows when we’ll arrive."
Lin Xian was also somewhat surprised, "Strange..."
"What’s wrong?" Chu Yan asked.
"If dark energy is converging to North America, logically, our original storm center should be less affected, so why are there more and more monsters?" Lin Xian said.
"Unless..."
Chu Yan looked at Lin Xian, "Unless there’s an S-Class organism!"
Lin Xian immediately pressed the full-band communication, "Everyone, attention, there might be an S-Class Abnormal Body appearing, everyone prepare for battle!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people in car 6 who were eating energetically immediately fell silent. Not only in Infinity, but the captains of other major fleets also reacted immediately.
"Prepare for battle!"
"Prepare defenses, evacuate personnel!"
"Activate all fire control systems!"
On the Sea Suppression Ship, in the command center, General Luo’s command post also became busy immediately, "Fleet, enter a state of combat readiness, all maintained warships, join the ranks!"
Woo!
In the sky as large as a mountain, the protective walls of city 1 on Silent City slowly rose, obscuring the lights. Mochizuki Masashi stood in the control room, looked at all the monitored parameters, and said slowly
"The gravity indexes are all changing, Lin, it won’t be long until you’ll all probably start flying."
"Stop talking nonsense, you might fall too!" Lin Xian shouted over the frequency, "Watch out overhead, it could be the Sky Cover, with such a large scale, if it crashes, it’ll be a problem, ground anti-aircraft fire is of no help to you!"
"He’s right, Shinji, should we lower the altitude now that we’ve passed the mountainous area?" Qian Suxun said from behind.
Shinji shook his head, "Don’t rush, clustering is not a good idea, now the orbital troops need stability, we are more mobile than they are."
Qian Suxun immediately understood, smiled, and said, "That’s right, we’re better off dealing with it than them getting caught by it."
By now everyone began to sense a change in the situation, millions were once again tense, all types of weapons, including long-range anti-aircraft guns, were hung online on all the trains, and the fleet signals in the sky, shrouded in thick fog, flashed continuously, the sound of engines roaring.
One hour, two hours.
As time passed, the dots on the radar scan indeed became denser, the number of Abnormal Bodies attacking the trains gradually increased, yet strangely, there was no sign of a large-scale Monster Tide or indicators of an S-Class organism appearing.
Everyone remained tense.
At this moment, on the main bridge of the Sky Dome Train, Jiang Yun looked at the fog ahead, eyes slightly changing, said over the communicator
"Have you noticed that the snow has lessened, and the fog has cleared somewhat."
"Noticed it, don’t know if it’s a good sign." Shi Deyuan responded first.
"Many of our instruments are experiencing electromagnetic interference." On Silver Star, Jian Xuwei, who had just received a report from an engineer, also reacted immediately.
"The situation is similar for the Air Fleet, the automatic control system and the ground effect gyroscopes are now problematic, the flight posture has to be manually controlled by pilots." Commander Wu Xiangqun of the Thunder Fleet also said.
In the cockpit of Infinity, the swarm of drones in front continued to expand and explore, KIKI stood forward, using telekinesis to clear large areas of snow to cope with unexpected situations.
"Look at this!"
KIKI suddenly said.
Lin Xian and Chu Yan looked up and found that the dense fog in the air had thinned significantly, visibility had improved from less than ten meters to being able to see several hundred meters.
And at this moment, they noticed that the large amounts of gray snow in the air were not falling but remained in a state of suspension, sometimes rising, sometimes falling, extremely eerie.
"The gravity in this area is rapidly decreasing!"
"The snow ahead has also decreased." Lin Xian’s pupils condensed slightly, Mechanical Heart suddenly activated, "We can accelerate now."
Seeing this bizarre situation, he decisively ordered the entire Joint Train to accelerate, no matter what might happen next, the farther they could escape from the Storm Zone, the better.
Bang bang bang, thud thud thud!
As the fog gradually thinned and visibility increased, the sound of artillery on the defensive line at the rear became gradually clear and deafening.
As the number of attacking Abnormal Bodies increased, the sounds of gunfire also became more frequent, even the fleet in the sky continually opened fire in response, and the sky began to clear.
Woo!!
The train engines roared as the Joint Train’s speed on the tracks continued to accelerate, the iron wheels spun at high speed, crushing the ice shards, large amounts of snow on the train roof slid down.
This steel long train, from its slow crawl forward, erupted into intense kinetic energy, roaring and accelerating across the earth!
Clang clang clang!
The light in the sky began to change, under the refraction of the scarlet clouds, the entire sky turned into an overwhelmingly oppressive hue of yellow.
Lin Xian focused his attention, and, along with KIKI, watched out for any problems on the track ahead, both nearly maximizing their superpower’s effectiveness.
At this moment, in his sight, amidst the fog ahead, a massive black outline appeared, like a sharp mountain rock imburied in the sky.
Yet Lin Xian knew it wasn’t a mountain rock; the object was too orderly, and its scale exceeded a thousand meters, just the fog’s outline gave an oppressive sense of mass.
"What is that?!"
"Certainly not a mountain."
"Spirit Vibration Value detection?"
"No Spirit Vibration Value detected!!"
"What?"
Voices of astonishment echoed within the communication channels, the bizarre giant outline ahead emitted no dark energy fluctuation, leaving everyone at a loss for a moment.
"Lin Xian." KIKI looked at him, "Shall I go check it out?"
Lin Xian grabbed her hand, "No rush, Jiang Yun is coming."
He stared intently ahead, suddenly, a gale from the sky swept in, dispersing the fog across the entire land.
Jiang Yunfei in power armor advanced at high speed; as the gust blew away the clouds ahead, an unbelievably shocking scene unfolded before everyone.
That black outline, like a three-thousand-meter diameter black disc, slanted into the ice field, the edges of the impact crater soil curling like melted black wax, slanted on the ground; beneath the gray snow-covered ground lay a vast pit like a lake.
The giant flying disc, half plunged into the pit, half above the surface, in its center, a suction cup shaped Abyss Giant Mouth filled with countless fangs, the spiraling fangs completely frozen over, looked incredibly terrifying!
"It’s..."
"The Sky Cover? That S-Class organism?!" Chen Sixuan exclaimed.
Dead silence.
Absolute dead silence.
"It seems... dead?" Jiang Yunfei, at the front, with an exceptionally solemn expression, the colossal Abnormal Body rested against the earth brought a fearsome visual impact, akin to some creature from hell.
"Did it fall from the sky?" Elder Luo looked at the screen, deeply frowning, "How did an S-Class organism die..."
"What should we do, ignore it, or..."
"Retreat immediately!" Sean from Utopia said, "If an S-Class organism couldn’t survive, there must be an even greater threat."
Clang clang clang!
Many colliding sounds emerged, Lin Xian looked at the ground, discovering the gray snow had significantly lessened, but the gravel on the track’s foundation began to float slightly, some only a few centimeters, others already several meters high, crashing into the train’s armor plates.
"He’s right!"
Lin Xian, face stern, looked at the enormous black disc blocking out the sky, raised his hand and clenched it, commanding Infinity to keep accelerating.
"Even scarier than the Abnormal Bodies, is a natural disaster, we must quicken our pace!"
