Chapter 161: Chapter 156: Corpse Chaser"General, the orbital ascension hall is fully prepared!" Above the platform in Area E, the adjutant rushed to report eagerly. Dada Dada! Under the sweep of gunfire, more and more human ghosts and Abnormal Bodies appeared, these monsters had far stronger attack power than zombies, always causing mass casualties. Boom! An artillery shell exploded, a missile accurately hit a Fog Spider on top of a building, the huge spider collapsed to the adjoining building, the front glass curtain wall shattering loudly. Zhang Dingzhong held the machine gun in the front, his thermal weapon rapidly harvesting the lives of those monsters. Thud! Thud! Thud! The long tentacles of the Atmospheric Mica above the sky slowly descended upon the city, causing a section of buildings to collapse, the airport’s searchlights shone, but even so the whole view couldn’t be seen. Ang Wang! A pale beam of light suddenly flashed for an instant. "General, look fast!" "What is that?!" At this moment, the soldiers of the Iron Guard Brigade who were resisting all changed their expression dramatically as they looked towards the center of Yu Bei City. Zhang Dingzhong stopped firing, his gaze sharply focused! In the middle of the city, amidst the night and fog, a human-shaped black giant shadow slowly appeared, estimated to be at least a hundred meters tall, its arms almost touching the ground, with strange wing-like bone strips on its back, ’it’ stood in the middle of the city, seemingly gazing towards the direction of Airport One. "Corpse chaser?" Zhang Dingzhong looked at the shadow gravely, "It’s exactly as the intelligence described." The huge figure was like an alien creature, carrying an overwhelming oppressive force, chilling to the bone. On the high wall, Iron Guard Brigade officers led by Zhang Dingzhong, stared dumbfounded at the gigantic human shadow, as if it was a higher-dimensional being, just one glance enough to make their scalp tingle. Ever since the massive corpse chaser appeared, everyone sensed that the numerous Abnormal Bodies and zombies in the city, even the jellyfish in the sky, were being driven like by some ’Feeder’, converging towards the airport. "Is its target really us?" "Previous sightings also all occurred within the timeline of polar nights..." One of the officers exclaimed: "Is this treating us all as prey, herding us here and then slaughtering us?" "No wonder so many zombies are rushing in the same direction." Zhang Dingzhong’s eyes twinkled, slowly speaking, "Do you also feel that thing, is like casting a net to catch fish?" In the fishing industry, after a few fishing boats cast nets, they drive in a specific manner, the angle of enclosure becoming increasingly narrow, eventually trapping a large number of prey inside the net, then catching and hauling them onto the boat. And the myriad zombies and Abnormal Bodies were like layers of impenetrable nets, driven along the edge of the polar night by that ’corpse chaser’, herding humans like insects. "That makes sense when you put it that way." "Fishing?" An officer spoke gravely at that moment, "We originally thought that those monsters just existed in the darkness, hunting everywhere, if that’s the case, then the 13 Star Abysses on Blue Star..." "Are just like 13 nets continuously stretching out!" His words made everyone feel a suffocating pressure. As everyone began to vaguely realize that the polar night seemed to be hunting humans with some kind of consciousness, beneath that fear, a sense of helplessness and anger started to emerge! "Damn it, treating us like fish!" an officer cursed through gritted teeth. "I go to hell with..." "These things, where the hell did they come from!?" People cursed angrily. "It looks like we guessed right, after that thing appeared, the monsters became more ferocious, we can’t hold them off any longer, General, let’s retreat!" Ma Xiaotang at this moment urgently shouted to Zhang Dingzhong. Buzz Buzz! The airport base’s anti-air weapons fired at full strength, continuously annihilating monsters attacking from the air. Ee-ah! Ee-ah! A tidal wave of zombie armies emitted earth-shaking roars. "Retreat?" "If we retreat from the defense line, these beasts will charge faster than a tide, and no one inside will escape..." "Right, if we retreat, everyone inside is done for!" an adjutant declared at this moment. Zhang Dingzhong looked at countless human ghosts, Black Insects, and monstrous Abnormal Bodies madly rushing towards the platform, below the high wall, it was already a mountain of corpses. Boom Boom! Another warplane crashed, burning with flames before everyone’s eyes, crashing into a street in the city, causing a huge explosion. Zhang Dingzhong surveyed the entire Yu Bei City, like a tidal wave of zombies and monstrous army, and the gigantic ’corpse chaser’ standing tall in the city center, his brows slightly furrowed, and he sorrowfully said, "I left Feng City when it was lost, I left Chong’an when it was lost, I still left Xinglong when it was lost..." "Today, I, Zhang Dingzhong, am not leaving." Upon these words, all the officers’ expressions subtly changed, determination slowly surfacing in their eyes. "Everyone, attention!" "Present!" "At all costs, hold the Airport, ensure the successful evacuation of the people in the ascending hall!" "Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, their eyes resolute. "Ma Xiaotang!" "Present!" Ma Xiaotang’s eyes shimmered, and he promptly stood up. "Bring out the big cannon." "Yes!" Zhang Dingzhong stepped forward, looking at the Atmospheric Mica in the sky and the ’corpse chaser’ in the city center, his eyes fierce, chuckling softly. "If you treat us humans like fish, then let me show you what a torpedo is!" ... Inside the ascending orbit hall, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with armed personnel on many survivors’ vehicles taking out weapons, looking towards the distant hall corridor, waiting for the Iron Guard Brigade soldiers to come for support. Bai Shuang and the emergency team members were also waiting for the news from there. Beep~ At that moment, Bai Shuang’s communicator rang, and she hurriedly answered, "This is the emergency team, this is the emergency team, all personnel are ready, you can evacuate." Beep. "Team Leader Bai, General Zhang informs you, all vehicles immediately enter the ascending orbit track and set off, I repeat, all vehicles immediately enter the ascending orbit track and set off!" "What... what?" S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bai Shuang’s expression drastically changed, she urgently pressed the talk button only to find the call had ended. Wei Kexue and others beside her were also stunned. "They... they aren’t evacuating?" "What does this mean..." "It’s not even two hours yet!" "Did the Iron Guard Brigade run into some trouble?" Boom boom boom! Outside the ascending orbit hall, soaring gunfire erupted, shaking the sky; Bai Shuang tightly clenched her communicator, breathing rapidly, her lips quivering slightly. Realizing the situation, she firmly set her gaze and commanded the emergency team members, "Everyone, get in the vehicles, prepare to depart." Wei Kexue’s expression paused, he took a deep breath, and began manipulating the Airport’s ascending tunnel to release the climbing elevator’s limit stop. At the same time, the other three trains, Lin Xian, Jian Xuwei, Shi Deyuan also received Bai Shuang’s notice. 30 seconds later, initiate the ’Traction Plan’! "It’s time to depart, everyone get ready." Inside the ’Infinity,’ Lin Xian notified the others and the vehicles behind. "The Iron Guard Brigade people, they haven’t come back." Chen Sixuan’s expression was solemn as she spoke to Lin Xian. "I know." Lin Xian’s expression was complex as he quietly told Chen Sixuan, "You all... find a seat and sit tight." The departure notice had been given, meaning all the ’passengers’ were already in the ascending orbit hall... Chen Sixuan and Sha Sha found a safe spot in carriage one, KIKI also came to the cockpit prepared to assist Lin Xian with any emergencies. Building and Lu Xingchen sat in the cabin of the nuclear-powered locomotive, fastening their seat belts. While Ding Junyi found a corner with a handrail in the research cabin, squatting down, waiting for the train to depart. Behind, Xu Jin, Shu Qin, Lao Mo, and Jiang Yun were all gripping tightly onto anything they could in the vehicle, the atmosphere was incredibly tense. [30,29,28...] [20,19,18...] [10,9,8...] [5] [4] [3] [2] [1] Woooooo!!!!!! In an instant, all the train engines roared, on the tracks beneath the wheels, the Horizon Gate lowered slowly, fitting onto the rails, emitting a faint glow. Immediately, Lin Xian, Jian Xuwei, Shi Deyuan, Bai Shuang, all spoke at once, "Start, prepare for ascent!"
