Chapter 479: Chapter 277: Above the Skies (10,000 Explosive Updates!)

August 30th, Apocalypse Day D93, 1 day until the grand transfer of Xilan City.

A blizzard howls across the city, the temperature plummeting to minus 60 degrees. White light blankets the landscape, icicles hanging from buildings, and snow flying through the streets.

Near Central Avenue, there is a dense flow of vehicles transferring, faces of countless survivors bearing heavy expressions. City-wide public frequencies and convoy frequencies persistently broadcast regional command voices.

All the clamorous sounds converge into two words.

Transfer, defend.

These simple two words press down tens of thousands with a sense of foreboding akin to the calm before a storm, as dawn’s earthquakes and attacks entirely shatter the city’s previous peace.

Everyone knows that Xilan City’s safety is over, what’s coming is a battle as heavy as mountains and unknown death.

"Where are we being transferred to?"

"Don’t know, just follow orders, asking won’t help."

"We’re doomed, doomed, can we still wait to evacuate? It’s said large Abnormal Bodies appeared in the city, even the Phoenix Society couldn’t react."

"Shut up, don’t speak nonsense."

"The cars behind should keep up."

"Stay away from tall buildings, be cautious when parking."

"Inform everyone, clear snow off vehicles every hour, don’t slack off!"

In the snow-covered streets, the massive transferring convoy is tightly congested, yet under the direction of the Phoenix Society, it begins to divert to different areas.

Within the convoy, the rapidly dropping temperature and the blinding snow nearly completely obscure visibility. All vehicles’ wipers turned to maximum are still futile, windows protected by armored grilles are already frosted over, and despite heaters being set to their limits, drivers are so cold their hands and feet turn red.

"I heard some convoys took advantage of daylight to leave the city early."

"Forget them, anyone not following the main group in this hellish weather is asking for trouble, sticking with the Phoenix Society gives us a better chance."

"But what if the Phoenix Society can’t resist either?"

"Don’t be a pessimist, if the Phoenix Society can’t resist, do we have any other options? Or do you have a better plan?"

"A group of people froze to death at Sun Park; they said the heater suddenly failed last night."

"Heater, exchange for heating supplies!"

"Vehicles on Tongzhou Road stalled from freezing, front road detour, maintenance teams can’t reach!"

"..."

On various frequencies of the communicator, each convoy’s communications incessantly buzzed with tension and suppression.

In the East City, the Arctic Wind Alliance leads thousands of vehicles to begin diversified transfers, primarily congregating in East City Park, Jingcheng Commercial Square, along the White Feather River, near the camp of the 2nd unit of the seventh Investigation Corps. The headcount is high, and various heavy firepower ammunitions are continuously transported to the East City Anti-Demon Frontline.

Southern City, where most convoys gathered, couldn’t accomplish an overall transfer. Under the Phoenix Society’s command, they began dispersing to streets with lower building density. Originally, some school playgrounds became major gathering zones.

The Northern City, mostly stationed at the rail passenger station, comprises dozens of Doomsday Trains, including the Joint Fleet of Qian Deli, Zhou Li, and others from the Ice Valley Defense Line, as well as Monica’s "Queen Mo". Firepower is undeniably strong. Additionally, the space is quite open due to the City North Airport harboring aviation combat squads.

Infinity and Dragon Mountain No.1 are stationed at the cargo rail station at the base of Fenglan Mountain in the West City. Originally part of the Xilan Mining Group’s mining zone, accommodations were primarily factory dormitories. The terrain is quite open, and affected by Fenglan Mountain, snowstorms are relatively mild. However, since it’s furthest from the city center and main evacuation routes, few convoys chose to stop here. Besides these two trains, only a few small convoy camps are stationed here.

The advantage of the train group is that once everyone boards the train, preparations are complete; they can depart at any time.

Within the carriages of Dragon Mountain No.1, shadows busily move. Upon returning, Shi Deyuan made sure the whole train was ready for combat. Originally planned free activities for today were canceled, the carriage interior’s nerves began to tighten.

Due to the temperature drop, the train’s heating systems are operating at full capacity, constantly emitting white mist at each carriage connection.

Following the superpower detection and Queen Mo’s survey, Shi Deyuan made several major adjustments to Dragon Mountain No.1’s defense deployment. Meanwhile, acquired heavy weapons and anti-aircraft guns were entirely equipped by the engineer team. Unlike Infinity, Dragon Mountain No.1 lacks customization abilities. Therefore, these anti-aircraft guns were merely mounted on the vehicle station atop the train, all ammunition supply manually managed, and firing dispersedly operated by the personnel in the carriages.

On Infinity, Chen Sixuan and Sha Sha sit before the information center, monitoring developments. On the table lie the communicator and Red Phoenix Order. At this moment, Lin Xian, KIKI, Brother Huo, Da Lou, Shu Qin, and other key fighters aboard are resting. Having labored all night, Chen Sixuan didn’t expect situations to suddenly become so tense. To confront the impending night within hours, Lin Xian arranged for all combatants to seize daylight time to restore energy.

At the back carriage, Miao Lu, Lv Chang, Xiao Yuan, and a few others are sorting out parts Lin Xian manufactured last night for use later.

"Ah, yesterday Captain Lin said everyone could relax a bit today, enjoy free activities." Miao Lu sighed, her face full of regret.
