Chapter 162 of "Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train" opens with suspenseful action: Chapter 162: Chapter 157: Soaring into the SkyWuuu!!! Within the ascending track hall, the engines of... Keep going!

Chapter 162: Chapter 157: Soaring into the SkyWuuu!!! Within the ascending track hall, the engines of four heavy trains roared, slowly starting to pull all the traction platforms, and the personnel of the Survivor Caravan in the rear only felt a tremor from the track below, and then started moving. "How come we’re setting off already, the troops from the Iron Guard Brigade haven’t pulled back yet?!" "What’s happening, are we departing ahead of schedule?" "It’s moving, it’s moving!" "Ah, I’m so scared..." "Don’t be afraid, we’ll definitely make it up!" "Mommy, where are the soldier brothers?" a little girl just rescued onto the Iron Guard Brigade’s military train asked her mother. "They..." The woman looked at the countless injured and survivors inside the train, her eyes reddening: "They will catch other trains..." "Really, will they also come with us?" "Yes..." ... Whoooosh! The powerful traction force generated by the 620,000-kilowatt output pulled 2,696 types of survivor vehicles to start accelerating wildly, reaching speeds over 200 kilometers per hour in an extremely short sprint distance, and then the trains entered the gentle ascent track where the Horizon Gate clamped onto the tracks, with engines continuing to accelerate. On board the Infinity, Silver Star, Dragon Mountain No.1, and Iron Guard Brigade trains, everyone instantly felt the ground tilt upward, as the trains lifted at a steep angle, with items not secured inside the carriages sliding backwards. Soon, a few seconds later, all trains entered the channels with even steeper angles of ascent, and mechanical traction hooks rose to catch the Horizon Gate underneath the trains, initiating the second stage of acceleration! Boom!! Boom!! The thousands of cars behind felt as if they were abruptly lifted from the ground, sprinting towards the sky at a very high speed! "Ahhhh!!" In an instant, countless screams echoed throughout the entire ascending channel. On board Infinity, everyone tightly held onto the handrails, with Chen Sixuan closing her eyes, feeling the massive force of acceleration as if lifting off into the air, her heart pounding wildly. Inside the cockpit, KIKI and Lin Xian sat at the driving seats, their expressions intensely focused. 100 meters... 200 meters... 300 meters... The altitude rose rapidly, Lin Xian focused and commanded, "Enter the third stage of acceleration at 2000 meters; if the Horizon Gate overloads, you slam the train onto the tracks for me!" KIKI, with a solemn look in her eyes, widened in concentration and awe, responded immediately upon hearing Lin Xian’s command: "Okay!!" Meanwhile, on the Silver Star and Dragon Mountain No.1, two completely different scenes unfolded; all the carriages’ residents on Silver Star were already prepared in advance, buckled up with seat belts in orderly uniformity, while on Dragon Mountain No.1, there were cries and screams as everyday items in the carriages clattered and fell. On the train of the Iron Guard Brigade, Bai Shuang stood in the driver’s cabin, watching through the monitor as the huge channel growing deeper behind her, her expression calm with an unusual determination in her eyes, as if a silent elegy and fierce fire flickered in her heart. Bang bang bang! Rat-a-tat! Boom! The smoke of gunpowder filled the air at the airport walls, countless metal sprays rained down on the zombie tide below, the Close-in Weapon System and electromagnetic railgun sang a deathly lament, and in the sky above, beneath the enormous Atmospheric Mica, floated several gigantic Sky Jellyfishes, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression. Below the airport, the overwhelming horde of zombies charged in like a flood. At that moment, a transport vehicle rushed over carrying a cylindrical weapon device covered with a tarp. Soldiers lifted the tarp, revealing the device that gradually lit up, and a silvery missile several meters tall slowly rose, its yellow nuclear symbol recognizable at a glance, emanating a profound and deadly presence. Zhang Dingzhong approached, his face full of daring spirit, "We have been fighting and retreating for so long, I’ve been wanting to use this thing. It’s also a good time to let us see what kind of monstrosity that corpse chaser really is!" "Ha, a free cremation for them. They’ll surely enjoy it!" Deputy Ma Xiaotang even made a joke. "Haha! That’s right, we’ve got to blast a hole in that fishing net anyway, right, brothers?!" "Right!" Clang, a towering Patrol Mecha stopped, Zhan Wei got off from above, looking at the small nuclear weapon in front of him, his expression surprised: "Wow, this is definitely powerful enough." Zhang Dingzhong looked at him: "Zhan Wei, can you still stand firm on those legs?" Zhan Wei smiled resolutely, stood at attention, and proudly responded to Zhang Dingzhong, "Reporting to the old commander, I can stand firm!" After speaking, he hesitated, then looked proudly at Zhang Dingzhong and said, "Old commander, being able to fight with you to the last moment is the greatest honor of my life!" Zhang Dingzhong paused for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder, his gaze admiring, "Good lad, worthy of being one of my soldiers." Wuu! Whir! A pleasant hum came. Many soldiers from the Iron Guard Brigade turned their heads, watching the miles-long traction caravan on the tracks begin to race up the ascent track, vibrations in the air, and the momentum earth-shattering. "Look! They’re making their climb!" Deputy Ma Xiaotang shouted excitedly as he watched this scene. Countless soldiers of the Iron Guard Brigade looked towards the track reaching into the clouds, their eyes filled with anticipation and eagerness, the climbing train chains like the precious fruits of their courageous efforts to protect. At this moment, several survivor vehicles suddenly turned on their yellow hazard lights, the light seeming to resonate, with more and more vehicles of the Survivor Caravan silently switching on their hazard lights in unison. Soon, thousands of vehicles all flashed yellow lights, like four golden chains of light rushing along the ascent track into the heavens, as if to illuminate the entire night sky! Seeing this scene, Zhang Dingzhong smiled slightly, "They are cheering us on. Brothers, let’s not show any weakness!" "Yes!" The defensive line built by the Iron Guard Brigade and the Guard Corps roared in unison! ... Wuu! At this moment, above the ascent channel, the four trains were nearing 2000 meters for the third stage of acceleration. The four miles-long chains of vehicles continued climbing, with roars echoing throughout the channel.

Soon, all four trains were almost simultaneously mounted on the high-speed traction apparatus, their engines roaring as they began the third acceleration! Whoo~!! "The speed is picking up!" Lin Xian was now looking at the state monitor of the Horizon Gate and started to max out the power of the Gemini 11R Nuclear Power Electric Locomotive! At this moment, the core of the Atmospheric Mica above the port sky suddenly began to flicker with a dazzling blue light, then with a thunderous tremor, an invisible electromagnetic pulse radiated outwards in a shock wave! Hum! In an instant, all the lights inside the tunnel flashed violently, sparks flying everywhere, every railgun at the Airport went dark, and the lights inside the four trains also went out instantly, the system crashed! Passengers inside the train only felt darkness before their eyes, as the drive motor let out a whimpering low groan and slowly stopped turning. "Damn, electromagnetic pulse! The engines are down!" Inside the rapidly ascending cockpit of Dragon Mountain No.1, Shi Deyuan’s eyes nearly popped out, and he instantly sprang to his feet in shock. "Quick, restart the system, we can’t lose the initial speed!" Inside the Silver Star, Jian Zeyang’s face turned deathly pale, and he immediately shouted at the train engineers. "How long will it take?!" came Jian Xuwei’s sharp voice. "10 seconds!" the engineer yelled in panic. "It’s too late; losing so much initial speed, the Horizon Gate won’t catch us!" Jian Zeyang frantically yelled at Jian Xuwei: "Sis, we must uncouple! Otherwise, everyone will fall!" Whoo... The four heavily ascending trains suddenly began to slow down. Bai Shuang on the Iron Guard Brigade transport train changed color: "How could this be!?" "It must be that Atmospheric Mica!" Wei Kexue’s face was pale as he watched the rapidly declining speed and exclaimed: "It’s over, we’re going to fall." The situation they feared the most had happened! In that instant, tens of thousands of ascending survivors felt a chill in their hearts. "This is bad, why did it stop..." "Are we going to fall?!" "My God..." "It’s over, it’s done." On the Silver Star, Jian Xuwei looked at the system restart countdown, her face somber. Just as she was about to pick up the communicator to notify the decoupling of the trains, the communicator rang first. "All trains, do not decouple!" Clang clang clang! Lin Xian’s voice suddenly came through the communicator, followed by three crisp metallic sounds as several traction cables suddenly connected to the mechanical traction devices of the other three trains. Then, before the astonished eyes of Jian Xuwei, Jian Zeyang, Shi Deyuan, Bai Shuang, and Wei Kexue, a black heavy-duty train burst with thunderous internal combustion engine roaring, forcibly catching the decelerating momentum of the other three trains and surging past all trains in a rush! "Charge for me!" On the Infinity, Lin Xian’s eyes were bloodshot as the Mechanical Heart worked furiously, and the colossal Whale 03E’s ten-cylinder gas engine roared with the power turbines spinning wildly, burning the last glory of the internal combustion engine, pulling the three trains and 2,696 vehicles up the ascension track, striving against the current! Meanwhile, on the other side, Kiki’s hair fluttered as she bit her silver teeth, utilizing Telekinesis to forcefully press the entire vehicle onto the track while simultaneously assisting the upward force of the train. Whoosh! Inside the high-altitude climbing passage, a gust of upward wind also burst forth! Jiang Yu, sitting in a SUV in the back, was exerting all his strength to summon Wind Power. Screech screech screech!! The power turbines of the Whale 03E gasped and thundered, and the "Infinity" carriage emitted a tearing tremor of steel! "Hold on!" At this moment, Lin Xian could only feel blood surging upwards; he knew Infinity alone couldn’t hold the three trains, but what he could do was to give the others a breathing space to restart their engines! Ssshh!! Under the explosive power output of the Infinity, the rapidly decreasing initial velocity miraculously came to a brief halt! Jian Xuwei’s chest heaved as she watched the Horizon Gate’s high-voltage threshold soar to 28% on the monitor, and as 10 seconds felt like hours with her heart pounding, the engines finally restarted! Whoo!!!!! The Eternal Level train, Silver Star, began outputting tremendous power, accelerating again, and the other Iron Guard Brigade train and Dragon Mountain No.1 also powered up. The speed was picking up again! "Did we stabilize?!!" Bai Shuang and Wei Kexue were dumbfounded. "Incredible!" Shi Deyuan was drenched in cold sweat. "Full sprint!!" Jian Xuwei commanded firmly. 3000 meters! 4000 meters! The climbing air pressure was so intense it almost made everyone’s eardrums ache; within the roaring passage, everything seemed to spin as the massive dragging force finally propelled the four trains into the high-altitude corridor. With the terrain suddenly easing, a vast aerial tunnel appeared in front of everyone, extending straight ahead with no visible end. "We made it, we’ve ascended!!!" With the rear traction platforms all entering the aerial corridor, countless people started to cheer. "God, we’ve entered the aerial corridor!" "We did it, we succeeded!" "We survived..."
