Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train
Chapter 1324 - 510: Predicament (Part 2)
"Of course, there’s only one point to all this." Sean enlarged the holographic screen, showing a large terrain sandbox. The entire train track’s main force was divided into four areas, from the Red Stone Rift Valley to the Iron Fir Basin. The farthest 13th Brigade, with several heavy machinery regiments and tank mecha battalions stationed at Crow’s Mouth, was at least 150 kilometers away from the Red Stone Rift Valley where the Sky Dome Train was located. Millions of people were forced to use a long snake formation in this narrow depth area.
Although it was inevitable, relying on the train line’s thick armor and advantageous positioning was already the best choice. After all, the train couldn’t be folded. Millions of people squeezed onto these Doomsday Trains, in this scarlet wasteland, this was their only sanctuary for survival.
"From the Black Stone Plain Fossil Forest H District to Iron Fir Plateau, there have been over 16 different types of Abnormal Bodies, but the most peculiar is here." Sean pointed to a spot: "In Section 3 of G District, I’ve just received feedback from multiple convoys that the pressure from the Monster Tide becomes smaller at this section. No, it shouldn’t be called smaller, but it changes from countless types to only airborne monsters like ’Witch Bats’ or some insects being shot down from the sky. The ground corpse tide noticeably decreases, and other monsters as well. This transition, in my opinion, is very strange."
"However, if we draw a radius centered around the area where the Black Disc fell..."
He drew a curve on the holographic map with his finger. Several people narrowed their eyes slightly because within this range, the Monster Tide types and impact areas showed obvious different characteristics.
"The influence area of the Black Disc is limited. Although it is moving, it seems that the disturbances in other areas are not necessarily caused by this monster," General Li Sheng said in a serious tone.
"So, is there a second S-Class?" Zeng Weiguo immediately asked.
"The meaning is very clear." At this time, someone from the Infinite Alliance spoke up. It was Jian Xuwei, next to Chen Sixuan, who pointed to the latter half of the sandbox: "Coming out of the Colorado Grand Canyon, all the areas here are attacked simultaneously, which indicates there are at least 4 to 5 S-Class creatures surrounding us and launching Monster Tides against us according to some strange ’pattern’ when we transfer our troops during the day, or all the Abnormal Bodies, including the ’Black Disc,’ are following a unified command."
"That’s right, we are all of this opinion." Chen Sixuan also said at this time: "Logically, these scarlet monsters would be more frenzied in the dark night, but the tides appear during the day, which is the first problem."
"After our successful breakthrough from the canyon, the relentless Monster Tides suddenly became regular disturbances. That’s the second problem," Jiang Yun also added.
"And there’s a third problem." Shi Deyuan, clad in Battle Armor, crossed his arms, his voice sharp within the holographic screen: "When we rest at night, they also rest. As soon as we start marching, the Monster Tide immediately comes, it’s like a sick joke!"
General Li Sheng mused slightly: "It’s like they’ve figured out our movements, deliberately toying with us."
"But I don’t understand." General Zeng Weiguo looked puzzled. He looked towards the Infinite Alliance and Sean’s direction and said: "If that world-class creature is still on the North American Continent, why doesn’t it just come out to wipe us all out? Are the monsters using military strategy now?"
General Luo lit another cigarette in the operations room. The smoke rose from his weathered, wrinkled face. He squinted at the large operations screen and slowly said:
"Discipline, restraint, when these adjectives are applied to these monsters, viewed from the perspective of the Tower People’s civilization, this top-level command must have strategic intent."
After speaking, he nodded: "The meaning of the Infinite Alliance and the Utopia is very simple. As long as I don’t move, they won’t attack. But as soon as we start marching, the Monster Tide won’t stop. It’s precisely because of this that nothing appears after dark. That’s not the Abnormal Bodies’ habit, but our ’habit.’ These monsters are stalling us... they’re..."
Old Luo exhaled a heavy breath of smoke, his eyes fierce: "Waiting for the arrival of the top predators!"
After his words, the scene immediately fell silent. Even the leaders of the Common Alliance, Eternal Day convoy, and other dozens of large convoys had suffocating expressions on their faces.
General Li Sheng lifted his gaze and looked at Sean: "Captain Sean, so what was the proposal you didn’t finish just now."
Everyone turned their eyes towards him.
Sean spoke up at this time: "We have two strategies."
He quickly plotted a region on the terrain map: "Judging from our current position, we’re approximately 150 kilometers away from the nearest track section on the North American TC1765 East Line Track. Considering bypassing the Yakilo Mountain Range to take a flat path, it’s no less than 200 kilometers. Even if we proceed at the current pace, our ammunition won’t sustain us. For example, with the 13th and 22nd Iron Guard Brigade’s firepower deployment, the ratio of energy weapons to kinetic energy weapons is about 60%-40%. Although energy weapons make up the larger portion, they are mainly configured on high-powered vehicles, mecha, and ships. The power of ordinary soldiers’ pulse guns is not meeting expectations against the monsters’ biological force fields. So, if our kinetic energy weapon ammunition runs out, we would lose at least 50% of our firepower resistance, which would be fatal, so time is not on our side."
