Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 823 - 351: The Grand Escape in Darkness! (10,000-Word Burst, Two-in-One!)
600KM, 800KM!
At this moment, the Joint Train had approached the cruising speed of a commercial airliner. The intense air resistance and disturbed airflow made the hydraulic support posts of the stabilizing coaxial loops outside the train carriages operate frantically to maintain the stability of the carriages. All the carriages were undergoing severe tremors, and the sharp sound of the airflow tearing caused constant ringing in the ears!
Meanwhile, the external structures of many trains began to show signs of detachment under this high speed and wind pressure. Armor plates, grilles, and various fragments clattered down, along with various monsters falling like an avalanche. The Superconducting Magnetic Anchor Array Devices at the rear began to collapse and break, disappearing one by one like dominoes, with lights continually vanishing in the forest.
And the Monster Tide in the Dark Forest continued to grow. It was unclear whether these Abnormal Bodies were attracted by the markers of the Joint Train passengers or driven by the giant monsters at the back. They surged like a tidal wave towards the collapsing magnetic levitation array devices.
After the Joint Train passed, all the devices seemed to have completed their mission, toppled by the tide of fragments and Abnormal Bodies!
Lin Xian watched the accelerating train and immediately instructed Grace to adjust the parameters.
"Grace, reduce the speed. If we keep accelerating like this, we’ll break apart!!"
Although the train’s armor was solid, it didn’t mean that the carriages wouldn’t be torn apart by the sound barrier airflow. These modified Doomsday Trains clearly didn’t have supersonic capabilities.
[Speed control in progress, estimated to arrive at White City Rail Station in 4 minutes and 36 seconds]
Rumble!!
Lin Xian couldn’t see the scene and direction ahead clearly, so he could only grit his teeth, letting Grace take over the train’s control. After completing the acceleration, they would need to decelerate to connect to the White City track; otherwise, at this speed, it was uncertain if the already decaying tracks of White City could bear it, and the acceleration quality of the Joint Train would smash itself like a plane crash.
"Everyone, report your status!"
"Captain Lin, we’re all fine!" A voice came from Shu Qin Building.
"Safe!" Luo Yang and others shouted.
"We’re fine too." In Car No. 10, Li Yi and Sun Yuzhen protected a group of children, all huddled together nervously. Mo Xiaotian hugged his sister tightly, one hand gripping the bunk’s handrail firmly.
"We’re okay!" Shi Deyuan’s voice came through: "Haha, it’s really thrilling, I never thought that one day driving a train could be like flying!"
At this time, other teams also responded one after another. They seemed to be temporarily out of danger, but no one felt good. Many carriages reported groans of pain, with a lot of people vomiting and fainting. Even in some ordinary carriages, distortions occurred, with tears appearing on the ceiling and floor!
"In one minute, be ready to decelerate, hold on tight!"
Lin Xian shouted, his vision filled with darkness, nothing visible except the arcs of the magnetic levitation. All operations were under Grace’s control.
He could only pray that upon entering White City Street, nothing abnormal would collide with them. Otherwise, it would be like Mars hitting the Earth, and the scene would definitely be disastrous.
The worrying situation didn’t occur. Thirty seconds later, the Joint Train soaring through the air on the magnetic levitation track began to decelerate abruptly. Lin Xian leaned forward sharply, and countless building outlines appeared outside the window, accompanied by the roaring wind as the Abnormal Bodies howled sharply outside.
At this moment, a huge blaze appeared ahead. Lin Xian looked up, and there was Brother Huo battling in the sky!
On top of the bell tower, Chen Sixuan turned her gun, seeing the Joint Train flying swiftly from afar. She immediately said sternly, "They’re here, quickly close the formation, KIKI!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"I know!" KIKI immediately flew towards the docking device at the track station. If there was a deviation, she could use her telekinesis to make temporary adjustments.
Boom!
Monica jumped down from the tall building, using her Sound Blade to repel a large number of Monster Tides. Turning back, she saw a heavy train flying through the air, looking bizarrely spectacular, its orange-red headlights piercing the darkness as it flew directly over the station building towards the track.
Over here, a dozen mechanical arm-like docking devices generated a deceleration magnetic field to accommodate the train’s landing.
Buzz! Empty!
A huge sense of weightlessness vanished in an instant. Lin Xian gritted his teeth, and the entire train’s iron wheels landed heavily on the tracks, causing the ground to tremble. Sparks flew all over the tracks, and with a sharp, wailing sound of metal, the Infinity’s twenty-something carriages successfully landed on the track, followed by a series of trains behind.
At this time, Lin Xian had already handed over the controls to Grace, opened the train door, and leaped out, taking out the flashing electromagnetic gun from his back and aiming for the distant wastewater treatment plant without even catching his breath.
KIKI manipulated her telekinesis as she drifted past in front of him. Seeing Lin Xian in his life-and-death moment, she frowned and couldn’t help but shout loudly in the gap.
"Lin Xian, come back alive for me!"
Bang!
The Silver Bullet shot out at high speed, and Lin Xian vanished on the spot.
"Get everyone on board..." Lin Xian’s voice came through after a delay.
At this moment, KIKI had already used telekinesis to grab all the team members, including Monica, Qian Deli, and Ning Jing, directly bringing them onto the Infinity. After landing on the track, the entire Joint Train didn’t halt but accelerated again and sped away towards the outskirts!
