Chapter 352: Chapter 251 Dragon Mountain Predicament (Thank you, leader of "That Touch of Sadness")_2

"Sending people over for a rescue?" Shu Qin, who was beside Lin Xian, was puzzled. "By car?"

"No." Lu Yong explained, "Our No. 2 and No. 3 power traction vehicles have been retrofitted with the Triangle Track’s strong magnetization all-terrain drive module. Captain Shi went with a backup energy vehicle, a traction vehicle, and three heavy firepower weapon station vehicles."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian recalled Shi Deyuan’s behavior at the Airport and thought to himself that this was indeed something he could pull off. This Brother was very righteous in times of crisis.

"What, you modified the all-terrain drive?" KIKI was shocked upon hearing this. "Where did you do the modification?"

"That’s not the point now." Lin Xian interrupted KIKI, looking anxiously at Ning Jing and asked, "How long have they been missing?"

Ning Jing shook her head, "We lost contact with them after they left. Normally, our communication equipment has a coverage range of about 20 kilometers. Beyond that, it’s unknown, and with the Extreme Cold Vortex, the radio frequencies are also failing, so we can only stick to the original plan and wait for 6 hours."

"Unexpectedly, the blizzard came too quickly, and with the Snow Demons, we couldn’t leave even if we wanted to."

"Two days ago, I already sent someone to search in the northeast direction, but the snowstorm was too harsh. In this heavy snow, not to mention encountering Snow Demons, we couldn’t even find our bearings. I was worried about more casualties, so I pulled the team back."

Ning Jing said solemnly, "Now, to reduce Snow Demon attacks, I’ve concentrated all the passengers in the front cars where there is also centralized heating, and our combat personnel there can relatively provide more protection."

"Oh, that explains why there was no one, they’ve all been moved to the front cars."

At this moment, KIKI said, "So the back here is empty, aren’t you afraid that the Abnormal Bodies will rush in?"

"We have patrol guards on this side." Ning Jing looked at the three, "Don’t you know those Monsters can sense the presence of living people? That’s why they’ll only attack carriages with people in them; they won’t be interested in the empty ones."

"That makes sense..." KIKI originally wanted to mention something about markings, but at this moment, he thought, Ning Jing made a valid point. Regardless of markings, the Monsters wouldn’t attack areas without people.

After Ning Jing finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xian and, seeing that he said nothing, she took the initiative to speak.

"Originally, I planned to abandon twenty cars and then attempt to break through the snow layer while dispatching a vanguard to Xilan City to seek assistance. Unexpectedly, we encountered you..."

Ning Jing knew Lin Xian’s abilities, and his appearance in this situation was nothing short of a godsend for her!

From Lin Xian’s perspective, discarding unnecessary cars to gain momentum for a charge was indeed a wise choice.

Dragon Mountain No.1 had a total of 68 carriages and over a thousand passengers. It was effectively a moving fortress on tracks. Such a large train being trapped in the snowstorm would become an iron coffin in the blizzard, which was the same crisis Lin Xian had worried about earlier.

"Do you have specific coordinates?" Lin Xian asked at this moment.

"Yes."

Ning Jing continued, "Trakama Ice Valley is approximately 80 li away from here, but the problem is that the blizzard is too severe and with information blocking, it’s hard to determine direction once you leave the tracks, not to mention those Snow Demons..."

"Which is why Lao Shi’s plan to directly drive the all-terrain train there was also a safer approach."

Lin Xian’s expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The SOS signal from the Phoenix Society indicates they are facing something beyond ordinary survivors’ capabilities. Brother Shi is truly righteous."

He was not being sarcastic; even if it were Lin Xian, he wouldn’t have a solution under these circumstances. Stuck on tracks in a blizzard, the only choice would be to speed through the snow. To reroute to rescue others would require specific conditions.

Under such deep snow cover, the vehicles on the train were useless. The only mobile units were KIKI and the Fire God Mecha. It wasn’t feasible to have KIKI lead a team flying through the snow sea to find people.

"I don’t know the exact situation either."

Ning Jing relayed the SOS signal they received earlier to Lin Xian, "When we just entered Palma Prairie, we witnessed a giant mecha being carried by several transport aircraft towards the southwest hinterland in the blizzard. I suspect this might be some kind of weapon test project conducted by the Phoenix Society. Two nights ago, there was a strong earthquake near Yaze Lake, witnessed by other survivors in Sufeng Village and near Yaze Lake. It’s said that an S-Class Abnormal Body might have appeared, so Lao Shi also speculated that the rescue signal might be related to this action because normally, the Phoenix Society wouldn’t release such a rescue signal casually..."

"A giant mecha?" KIKI’s eyes widened as she looked over at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian understood, it seemed Hu Lushou’s intel was correct. The problem was that the Phoenix Society had previously reported an S-Class Abnormal Body was in Yunwang Swamp, in the southern part of Palma Prairie near the east line of the Wei River. Now it appeared near Yaze Lake on the north line. Together, it either meant the unknown creature was moving towards Xilan City, or there was more than one S-Class Abnormal Body on Palma Prairie!

"I think I understand." Lin Xian got up upon hearing this, looking at Ning Jing, "First, take me to see the damaged traction power vehicle."

The urgent task was to resolve the predicament of Dragon Mountain No.1. Only then could the Infinity continue to move. Under the current circumstances, the two teams must collaborate to charge out of the Snowfield towards Xilan City.
