Chapter 139: Airport No. 1

*BOOM!!!*

The sky burst into flames, illuminating several nearby streets.

*BWOOOM!~*

The sky jellyfish let out a piercing wail. Engulfed by the massive fireball, its bell and tentacles were covered in burning gasoline. The raging fire continuously roasted it, sending up plumes of black smoke. Seemingly in immense pain, its transparent bell contracted wildly, and it crashed directly into a nearby skyscraper!

*Bang! Crash!*

In an instant, fireballs, jellyfish tissue, and building glass fragments rained down from the sky.

“Get inside, quick!”

Kiki shouted. She reacted extremely quickly, directly grabbing Lu Xingchen with her telekinesis and pulling him through the cockpit door. Lin Xian then immediately detached the steel ladder and closed the cockpit door.

“The fire is falling!”

“Charge through!”

*Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Countless fireballs and burning gasoline fell, instantly plunging the tracks and city streets into a sea of fire. Flames continuously landed on the moving vehicles in the convoy, being knocked off in showers of sparks. Some car roofs caught fire, and a large amount of glass fragments also rained down.

The fire on the streets ignited swaths of zombies, creating a sea of flames.

“Ah!!”

“Be careful!”

“Don’t fall behind! Don’t crash!”

“Fire extinguisher, fire extinguisher!”

…

The walkie-talkie was filled with panicked shouts. Finally, after a thrilling and dangerous dash, the Infinity led the entire convoy through the sea of fire.

At this moment, the windows of many burning vehicles opened, and survivors began to save themselves with fire extinguishers.

“Did we just take one down?!”

In the walkie-talkie, Shu Qin watched in her rearview mirror as the giant, burning jellyfish crashed down, her face filled with disbelief.

“Even if it’s not dead, it’s half-cooked!” Xu Jin, feeling the exhilarating relief of surviving a disaster, shouted, “Unbelievable! There are several of these damn things.”

At the rear of the convoy, Old Mo, who was driving seriously, also let out a sigh of relief. He spoke into the internal communication channel of his vehicle.

“Is anyone hurt?”

“No, Grandpa Mo, everyone’s fine.”

“Xiao Le was scared to tears.”

“What a wimp~”

“Are we out of danger? How much longer until we get to the airport?”

“Soon, soon.” Old Mo looked at the massive building outline and lights slowly appearing in the black fog ahead, then at the Infinity train at the front of the convoy, and clicked his tongue.

“Good thing we followed this Infinity. Otherwise, so many of us would have been done for.”

Whether it was the Black Crow Four or the sky jellyfish, both posed an extinction-level threat to the convoys of Xu Jin, Shu Qin, and Old Mo. Although there was also Lu Xingchen, in this situation, without Lin Xian’s Infinity breaking through the obstacles, it would have been very difficult to survive.

On the “Infinity,” the crises came one after another. In Car 3, Ding Junyi watched the raging fire recede outside the window, her gaze calm. At this moment, she looked ahead of the train, and a massive structure extending into the sky appeared in her field of vision.

Yubei Airport No. 1 Sky Rail, the Ascension Channel!

*Clank, clank!*

The heavy train, leading a line of vehicles, traveled on the track bridge leading to the airport. The surrounding city streets were pitch black, but the airport platform was twinkling with countless lights.

Under the high-altitude searchlights, the massive ascension channel was like a pillar reaching to the heavens, extending to the sky corridor high above. The sky corridor was like a giant aerial pipeline built high above the ground, containing a negative pressure electromagnetic acceleration track and a vehicle passage, capable of accommodating 10 intercontinental-class trains and tens of thousands of vehicles being towed by traction platforms simultaneously.

As the Infinity gradually approached, they could even see the extremely fast ascending elevators rushing into the clouds under the lights!

So magnificent, it could be called an epic engineering feat of humanity!

“Wow, so amazing!” In the cockpit, Shasha and Dalou looked at the huge ascending elevator with astonishment, their faces filled with wonder.

“Although I’ve taken it before, every time I see it, I can’t help but be shocked.” Chen Sixuan’s eyes shone. After this long escape, they had finally arrived at the main track of the Star-Ring Orbit, which also meant that she and Lin Xian had reached the starting station of their intended destination alive.

“What a pity. If my car were still here, it could have gone to the sky with me once.” As soon as Lu Xingchen thought of his RV, he was filled with resentment.

“It’s okay, it’s definitely in the sky now,” Kiki retorted speechlessly.

“Hey, what do you mean by that?!”

*Tap, tap.*

Footsteps came from behind. Lin Xian turned around and saw Ding Junyi walking over quickly, followed by a nervous-looking Zhao Yan and Xu Wen.

“You’re lucky. The airport hasn’t fallen yet,” Lin Xian said.

This was good news for everyone. Looking out now, the airport base was densely packed with at least several thousand survivor convoys that had made it from all over Tianhai Province.

“That’s great.”

Zhao Yan let out a sigh of relief with a happy expression. “Thank you, Mr. Lin. It’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, we would have been dead.”

“Yes, thank you so much,” Xu Wen said.

Ding Junyi glanced at Lin Xian, then her gaze swept towards the distant airport. “The close-in weapon systems and air defense systems in the base are still operational. It seems the Phoenix Society’s emergency team and engineers are in place. The defenses haven’t fallen, which means there’s still an armed force present.”

“It should be the Airport Guard or the Iron Guard 52nd Brigade,” Chen Sixuan said. “We heard on the radio before that the Iron Guard 52nd Brigade had retreated to Airport No. 1 to regroup. They should also be preparing to evacuate from here.”

“This is all good news.”

Lin Xian nodded. “After running for so long, we’ve finally found the main force.”

In the apocalypse, no one really wanted to fight alone. If they could find the protection of a large official force, who would want to hide and flee?

At this moment, the airport was clogged with a dense crowd of escape vehicles, maintaining a delicate balance and order. Having just fought a great battle with a thug convoy, seeing so many convoys maintaining peace so ‘stably’ now actually made Lin Xian feel a bit dazed.

Such an orderly scene was truly rare.

“No one would dare to cause trouble here, right…” Chen Sixuan’s gaze swept over as she spoke.

Kiki said, “Not necessarily, but with so many people and the Guard and the Iron Guard Brigade, even if someone had some ideas, they’d have to think twice.”

“Daring to cause trouble in this place? They must not want to live!” Lu Xingchen crossed his arms and said disdainfully. “Everyone who comes here wants to live. No matter how arrogant they are, I don’t think they’d dare to stir up trouble here.”

Behind them, the convoys of Shu Qin, Xu Jin, and Old Mo watched as the train gradually approached the huge airport base, their expressions complex.

There was anticipation, exhaustion, bewilderment, nervousness…

Everyone knew that as long as they could cross the snowy mountains and plateau through the sky corridor, they would get enough breathing room!

“Lin Xian, look quickly!”

On the Infinity, Chen Sixuan suddenly shouted to Lin Xian. Everyone followed her gaze and was stunned to find that on the track platform exclusively for trains ahead, three giant trains were currently parked!

One was the intercontinental-class military transport train belonging to the Iron Guard Brigade that Chen Sixuan and Shasha had seen before. The other two were even more spectacular.

Because they were, just like the Infinity, doomsday trains preparing to run on the Star-Ring Orbit
