Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 143 - 138 Airport 1
Chapter 143: Chapter 138 Airport 1
Boom!!!
A great fire erupted in the sky, illuminating several nearby streets.
Vrooom!~
The Sky Jellyfish then emitted a piercing shriek, as a giant fireball swallowed much of it. Its canopy and tentacles were smeared with burning gasoline, and the raging fire kept roasting it, emitting billowing black smoke, seemingly in unbearable pain. The jellyfish’s transparent edges flapped wildly, crashing directly into the side of a building!
Bang! Crash!
Instantly, fireballs, jellyfish tissue, and glass shards from the building kept falling from the sky.
"Get inside quick!"
KIKI shouted, her reactions swift as she used Telekinesis to grab Lu Xingchen and pull him through the cockpit’s hatch, then Lin Xian immediately detached the steel ladder and closed the cockpit door.
"The fire’s falling down!"
"Charge through!"
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless fireballs and burning gasoline fell, instantly plunging the tracks and city streets into a towering inferno. Flames continuously landed on the vehicles of the caravan as they moved, sparking more flames. Some cars had roofs alight, and copious amounts of glass shards kept crashing down.
The fire on the streets ignited hordes of Zombies, creating a sea of flames.
"Ah!!"
"Careful!"
"Don’t fall behind, don’t crash!"
"Fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher!"
...
The walkie-talkie was filled with chaos, but finally, after a harrowingly perilous sprint, the Unlimited Train led the entire caravan through the blaze.
At this moment, the windows of several burning vehicles were opened, and survivors with fire extinguishers started to save themselves.
"Did we just take one down?!"
Over the walkie-talkie, Shu Qin, watching the giant burning jellyfish crashing down in her rear-view mirror, spoke with disbelief written all over her face.
"It’s not dead, but half roasted!" Xu Jin exclaimed with a sense of relief after the escapade, shouting, "Unbelievable, there’s several of these huge things." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Driving carefully at the rear of the caravan, Lao Mo also let out a sigh of relief and spoke into the in-vehicle communication channel,
"Did anyone get hurt?"
"No, Grandpa Mo, we’re all good."
"Xiao Le got scared and cried."
"Such a wuss~"
"Are we clear from danger now, how much longer till we reach the Airport?"
"Not long now." Lao Mo, gazing ahead into the slowly materializing outlines of massive buildings and lights through the dark mist and then toward the Unlimited Train at the front of the caravan, smacked his lips
"Good thing we followed this Unlimited Train. Otherwise, with this many people, I reckon we’d all be goners."
Whether it was the Black Crow Four-man Team or the Sky Jellyfish, both posed an apocalyptic threat to Xu Jin, Shu Qin, and Lao Mo’s caravan, and although there was Lu Xingchen, without Lin Xian’s Unlimited Train to break through the barriers, survival would hardly be within reach.
On the Unlimited Train, with one crisis following another, in carriage number three, Ding Junyi looked out of the train window at the receding Big Fire with steady eyes. She then looked ahead at the train, where a gigantic structure which reached into the sky came into view.
Yu Bei Airport’s first sky track, the Climb Channel!
Clang, clang!
The heavy train, along with a convoy, traveled on the track bridge leading to the Airport, surrounded by pitch-black city streets, yet at this moment, the Airport platform was twinkling with countless lights.
Under the glare of the high-altitude searchlights, the huge ascending passageway, like a pillar reaching the skies, extended to the high-altitude corridor above. The high-altitude corridor resembled a giant aerial pipeline erected above the ground, housing a negative-pressure electromagnetic acceleration rail and a vehicular passageway capable of accommodating 10 intercontinental trains and tens of thousands of cars being towed through.
As Infinity approached closer, one could even see the rapidly accelerating elevators shooting up into the clouds under the lights!
Such a spectacle, it could be called an epic feat of humanity!
"Wow, that’s incredible!" Inside the cockpit, Sha Sha and Building looked at the huge elevators in surprise, their faces filled with amazement.
"Although I’ve ridden it before, I can’t help but be shocked every time I see it." Chen Sixuan’s eyes sparkled; after all this time on the run, finally arriving at the main track of the Star Orbital, it also signified that she and Lin Xian had reached the starting point of their intended destination while still alive.
"It’s a pity, if my car was still here, it could have also ascended to the heavens with me." Lu Xingchen became full of resentment the moment he thought of his RV.
"No worries, it has surely ascended by now," KIKI retorted with a speechless tone.
"Hey, what do you mean by that?!"
Tap, tap.
Footsteps came from behind, Lin Xian turned his head and saw Ding Junyi walking briskly over, followed by Zhao Yan and Xu Wen with tense faces.
"You’re lucky, the Airport is still unbreached," said Lin Xian.
This was good news for everyone. At this moment, looking out, the Airport base was densely packed with at least a few thousand vehicles belonging to the Survivor Caravan from various parts of Tianhai Province.
"That’s great."
Zhao Yan let out a relieved sigh with a joyful face, "Thank you, Mr. Lin, it’s all thanks to you, or else we surely would’ve been dead."
"Yes, thank you so much," said Xu Wen.
Ding Junyi glanced at Lin Xian, then immediately looked towards the distant Airport, "The Close-in Weapon System and the anti-air defenses within the base are still operational, it seems that the Phoenix Society’s emergency team and engineers are in place, and the defenses haven’t been breached, indicating that there are still armed forces present."
"It should be the Airport Guard Corps or the Iron Guard 52nd Brigade," said Chen Sixuan. "I heard over the radio that the Iron Guard 52nd Brigade had withdrawn to Airport No. 1 for reorganization and probably prepared to evacuate from here."
"All good news."
Lin Xian nodded, "After running for so long, at last, we’ve found a large force."
Under doomsday, actually, no one wants to fight alone; finding shelter with an official large force is preferable to sneaking around in hiding.
At this time, the Airport was clogged with densely packed escape vehicles, maintaining a delicate balance and order. They had just fought a fierce battle with the rampaging caravan, and now, seeing so many well-ordered caravans, Lin Xian felt somewhat surreal.
Such orderly scenes were indeed rare.
"Surely nobody would dare to cause trouble here..." Chen Sixuan commented, scanning the surroundings.
"Not necessarily," KIKI remarked, "but with so many people around, and the presence of the Guard Corps and the Iron Guard Brigade, anyone with the slightest ulterior motive would have to think twice."
"If someone dares to make a move here, they’re asking for death!" Lu Xingchen crossed his arms and spoke disdainfully, "Everyone who comes here wants to survive. No matter how arrogant, I don’t think they’d dare to stir trouble here."
Behind them, Shu Qin, Xu Jin, and Lao Mo’s caravan watched the train slowly approach the vast Airport base, their faces revealing a mix of emotions.
There was anticipation, fatigue, realization, tension...
Everyone knew that just by crossing over the snowy plateau via the high-altitude corridor, they would gain enough breathing space!
"Lin Xian, look quickly!"
On Infinity, Chen Sixuan suddenly called out to Lin Xian, and as everyone’s gaze followed, they were stunned to see three gigantic trains parked on the platform designated for the exclusive use of trains.
One was the intercontinental military transport train belonging to the Iron Guard Brigade that Chen Sixuan and Sha Sha had seen before, while the other two were even more spectacular.
Because those were Doomsday Trains like Infinity, prepared to embark upon the Star Orbital.
