Close-in Weapon System

"Impossible!"

Seeing the scene, Tang Hai was stunned, panicking and exclaiming, "How can this thing still be activated???"

Feng Yuming was also frozen at this moment, because he saw the photoelectric sensor of the close-in weapon system aiming at him. In that instant, a ridiculous thought surged in his heart.

Is this thing meant to target people!?

At this time, in the combat information room of the underground air-raid shelter, Kiki sat in front of the close-in weapon system's operating interface, which Lin Xian had successfully repaired and completed self-checks on. She quickly circled a few hot targets, then gently patted the microphone in front of her, cleared her throat, and spoke over the broadcast.

"A few scumbags, bye-bye~"

Then, she pressed the fire button.

Whoosh~~~~!

Beep beep beep...

The next second, the hair-raising sound of rapid cannon fire echoed through the sky. The intense muzzle flash even illuminated half the platform. This anti-aircraft weapon, with a firing rate of 10,000 rounds per minute, now aimed its barrels at the zombie horde surging from the hillside, the giant Mist Spider, and... Feng Yuming!

"Damn it!"

Feng Yuming watched the cannon barrels quickly aim at him, his heart chilling. He tried to raise his black claws to block, but in an instant, he was blasted into a bloody mist by the violent metal stream, and the ground he stood on was instantly annihilated, leaving a huge crater!

Beep whoosh!!!!!!!!!!!

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

The scalp-numbing rapid machine gun fire resounded through the sky. The zombie horde swarming down the hillside was instantly like water being swept by a windshield wiper; a sweep of the firepower turned them into a pile of minced meat!

Hundreds and thousands of zombies instantly turned into bloody rain and shattered limbs, flying everywhere!

Below the close-in weapon system was a maintenance shaft containing large subsystem equipment for power supply and ammunition feeding, located right next to the armory's generator set. The main reason Lin Xian devoured the large generator set was that he discovered only part of this system was damaged. He only needed to perform some repairs, and this system was already connected to the backup power of that defense system. Therefore, this behemoth was activated at this moment by Lin Xian and Kiki.

Lin Xian, hiding under the train, watched with a pounding heart. No wonder they say that anti-aircraft guns on the ground are a war crime; this thing isn't something carbon-based life forms can withstand, right?

But then he thought, why did the Star Army have such things, yet the world's defense systems seemed to have evaporated into thin air after the Apocalypse Day arrived...

"Run!"

Tang Hai, hiding in the train engine, had a pale face, scared white. Seeing his nephew reduced to dust, he didn't say another word and pushed the throttle lever. The cannon wasn't aimed at the train, but Tang Hai knew Lin Xian was hiding underneath. He thought maybe he could escape and crush Lin Xian at the same time.

Hum~

Lin Xian, hiding under the train, felt the wheels move and his heart suddenly jumped. He knew Tang Hai intended to use the reserve energy of the branch power grid to transport his subordinates and supplies out of Beiwan Station, then transfer to a car to escape. He quickly gripped the underside of the train, preparing to activate the Mechanical Heart to control the train.

But as soon as his ability activated, Lin Xian felt something was wrong. This train was much larger than he had imagined. With his current strength, he couldn't establish control in a short time.

"This is bad!"

Watching the train slowly move, Lin Xian instinctively prepared to escape from under the wheels and make other plans.

But the next second, a loud metallic impact sound of "bang" came from the front of the just-started train, causing all the carriages to halt.

What happened?!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xian quickly flashed out from under the train. At this moment, the close-in weapon system also fell silent.

Although the firing rate was 10,000 rounds per minute, the actual ammunition feed chain could only support 15 seconds of sustained fire. However, this seemed to be enough. When Lin Xian emerged from under the train, the entire guard post compound and the hillside had become a bloody hell. Smoke billowed everywhere, and even the grass was gone. He finally saw the true form of the giant spider: a spider the size of a truck cab, with black markings all over its body.

Except now... it was hard to tell if it was a complete spider.

And when he looked back, wondering why Tang Hai had suddenly stopped the train again, and speculating if the power system had been accidentally destroyed.

His gaze swept forward and saw a much larger red steel behemoth appearing in the thick fog on the railway, blocking Tang Hai's path!

Infinite!

The sudden impact sent Tang Hai stumbling to the ground, his face bleeding. He got up in shock, thinking, Could it be a ghost leading me astray in the middle of the night? Why did the train hit a mountain?

But as he got up and looked in the headlights, he saw a bright red Juying 03E heavy gas turbine locomotive dragging a long train of carriages appearing eerily in front of him!

Tang Hai's face turned green. He looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his gunmen subordinates also became panicked.

"Where did this train come from?!"

"Holy shit!"

"It's a ghost!!"

From a corner of the hillside, Lou Ye emerged with a ferocious expression, holding a grenade launcher. He fired a grenade at the windows of the train carriages packed with gunmen!

Dong! Boom!

This sudden shot caught them completely off guard, instantly causing countless casualties among the gunmen. The remaining few jumped out of the train from the thick smoke, only to see a young girl appear in front of them, a smile in her eyes as she greeted them.

"Hello, where are you guys going?"

Then, the girl's eyes lit up, and she waved her hand!

Hum!

An invisible force sent the few people flying out instantly, killing them on the spot!

Tang Hai opened the cockpit door and jumped frantically off the tracks. Most of the zombie horde had already disappeared. He held a pistol and prepared to escape along the railway in the dark.

Seeing this, Lin Xian immediately climbed onto the platform and chased after him.

But not long after Tang Hai walked away, a graceful black shadow appeared in front of him, startling him into exclaiming, "Who!"

As he was about to raise his gun to shoot, the dark figure swung a crowbar at him head-on.

Bang~

Blood splattered, Tang Hai's vision went black, and he fell straight down.

Only then did the dark figure slowly emerge. Under the headlights, a beautiful face came into view.

Lin Xian's eyes narrowed slightly. It was indeed Teacher Chen...

At this moment, Chen Sixuan gripped the crowbar tightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Xian on the platform. She looked about seventy percent tense and thirty percent frightened, her chest heaving.

It was clear this was her first time hitting someone.

"Amazing, Teacher Chen."

Lin Xian looked surprised. He didn't know why Chen Sixuan would suddenly appear here, but seeing Tang Hai taken down, he raised his hand and fired a few Wind Gun shots to finish him off.

"Lin Xian!"

Chen Sixuan was now shocked by the horrific scene. Her face was deathly pale. The tracks, the platform, the entire hillside were covered in various bloody body parts. The air was thick with the combined smell of gunpowder and gore.

Puff puff!

With two shots from the Wind Gun, Lin Xian killed two stray zombies behind Chen Sixuan. Teacher Chen let out a startled cry, "Ah!"

Lin Xian let out a long sigh. He swept his gaze towards Lou Ye in the distance. After a moment, he called out, "Where's Shasha?"

Hearing Lin Xian's shout, Lou Ye seemed to snap out of his daze. He looked around frantically, then found a small mound of earth. After digging a little, he unearthed Lou Shasha, her face covered in dirt.

"Brother..."

Lou Shasha looked at Lou Ye, whose face was covered in blood, and gasped for air. "Are you okay?"

"I... I'm alright."

Shot in the back and stabbed in the arm, the towering man seemed completely unfazed.

Seeing that the siblings were safe from a distance, Lin Xian breathed a small sigh of relief. He then heard the sounds of more zombies coming from the dense fog in the distance and immediately shouted to the brother and sister, "Quick, get in my car to take cover."

Lou Ye looked up at the massive train and, realizing what was happening, nodded earnestly and, without much hesitation, quickly picked up Lou Shasha and ran towards it.

"Quick... get up here."

Kiki, having finished off the remaining gunmen, couldn't help but cover her mouth as she saw the ground littered with dismembered bodies. Her eyes, however, were wide with astonishment. "Wow, what a powerful guy."

Lin Xian looked at her in surprise. How could a sixteen-year-old girl, faced with a scene of carnage, not only show no fear or disgust but even sound a little excited?

At Chen Sixuan's invitation, everyone quickly boarded the "Infinite" to rest temporarily.

It was only just past 7 AM, with at least seven or eight hours until dawn.
