Chapter 388: Chapter 259 Rush into the Snowfield_4

Outside the convoy, gunfire and artillery sounds were intensifying. KIKI was driving, using telekinesis to shake him, her small face full of anxiety. "What’s wrong with you? I’ve shaken you for ages and you still haven’t woken up."

Lin Xian’s face was pale as he took several long breaths, rubbed his temples, and said, "I just fainted from exhaustion and fell asleep. I’m feeling a bit better now."

KIKI let out a sigh of relief and said worriedly, "That move of yours drains too much energy, doesn’t it? But it’s really powerful, you pierced right through that big bug."

Lin Xian nodded. The Gravitational Lens was his most powerful technique at the moment, but its drawbacks were also glaringly obvious. Besides being energy-draining, it’s difficult to use during the day. If not for the Abnormal Bodies brought by these Extreme Cold Vortexes attacking humans during the day, he wouldn’t even find a place to use it.

"I discovered that those monsters don’t seem to fear the light itself."

Lin Xian said in a deep voice, "Have you noticed? In sunlight, these abnormal entities seem extremely unstable."

Upon hearing this, KIKI pondered for a moment and said, "At first, I thought they were afraid of sunlight or ultraviolet rays, or something like that. I just noticed earlier that it doesn’t seem to be the case, especially with those Snow Demons. It’s like they’re being torn apart by something."

Lin Xian nodded, "So daytime is indeed safe for us. The purpose of the darkness tide is to completely cover us with Extreme Night. Humanity’s only advantage now is dawn!"

Bang bang bang!

On the roof of Dragon Mountain No. 1, the heavy machine gun’s line of fire swept over the top of the Polar Car, instantly taking out a bunch of Snow Demons emerging from the snow layers, leaving a mess of bloody carnage.

Lin Xian opened the window, using the Power Armor’s observation mode to try locating the position of Infinity in the snowfield amidst the snowstorm. Since there are signal poles, the convoy’s overall direction hasn’t veered off course, but now the sky was gradually darkening, with more than an hour left until nightfall.

"We should be close to the northern line track!"

From the communicator came Ning Jing’s voice. She was standing atop Dragon Mountain No.1, her fists smeared with demon blood, speaking into the communicator: "Captain Lin, should we start the train now?"

"It’s not time yet!" Lin Xian shouted. She glanced at her watch, calculating the distance.

Beneath the snowstorm, the speed and direction of the cars tended to deviate, so Lin Xian had KIKI find the nearby signal pole and drag it directly back to the car. The signal poles he constructed had numbers, making it convenient for him to calculate the distance to the train.

"There should be about 15 kilometers left. Just can’t see it yet."

If Infinity started up, then the position of the signal pole closest to the train would be incorrect. Ideally, the convoy should be able to visually spot the train, but given the current blizzard conditions, visibility was less than a hundred meters. Going back along the signal poles was the safest method; once the train departs, the whole convoy might get lost, and they’d have to turn and run towards Xilan City.

Meanwhile, the entire snowfield’s Snow Demons began converging heavily towards the convoy. From the sky, massive winged creatures swooped down, frequently passing overhead, attempting to snatch away the living or topple cars. Fortunately, they had anti-aircraft guns to suppress them. Without these heavy firepower suppressions, the hundreds of people in the convoy would be like lambs to the slaughter.

"Can’t see anything, and asking them to start early makes the rendezvous incredibly difficult." Ning Jing said urgently.

Swoosh!

Shi Deyuan twisted the heads off two Snow Demons from the air, crashing onto the roof, and said coldly, "Within two kilometers, we should be able to receive the signal from the car. As long as the direction is right, we won’t go wrong."

"We can’t keep up with Dragon Mountain No. 1’s speed. The snow is getting thicker, and once we charge ahead, we can’t decelerate until we find the right timing!" Ning Jing said.

"Report, this is the Phoenix Society’s tech team, Yu Yuheng."

Just as the convoy was facing immense pressure from the demon tide and Infinity and Dragon Mountain No. 1 were waiting for the signal to launch, Yu Yuheng’s voice suddenly came through the communicator.

"Team leader Yu, please speak." Lin Xian was continuously calculating the distance, his mind still plotting, and upon hearing Yu Yuheng from the communicator, he said, "We just dropped a base antenna for testing. We can currently contact a range of two kilometers in a straight line, but this number is decreasing due to the snowstorm, so we need to reserve a safety margin."

On a large snow vehicle, Yu Yuheng quickly calculated on his computer and said rapidly, "So I designed a simple mathematical model: Our convoy’s speed is 60 km/h, the angle with the northern line track is 86 degrees. Ignoring visual distance, we can only determine the position through signal localization. Captain Lin told me earlier that to break ice and accelerate the train, at least reaching 60 km/h speed requires 4-6 minutes. If it’s too fast, we can’t keep up; too slow, we’ll be dragged by the Snow Demon tide. The best way is to start early, we change direction, and follow the train at 60 km/h speed..."

"Get to the point!!" Lin Xian yelled directly, at such a crucial time, these scientists still preferred to discuss problems from a theoretical perspective.

Tap tap tap, Yu Yuheng swiftly finished operating, then confidently adjusted his glasses and spoke into the communicator: "Once we enter the three-kilometer range, we can immediately start up the train. We turn 30 degrees to the right, reestablish signal connection with the train in 2 minutes, and as long as the direction and speed are correct, we’ll rendezvous with the train in 4 minutes, with minimal error."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian’s heart steadied. He’d been frustrated and anxious, just wanting a precise number, and Yu Yuheng resolved the urgent problem.

"Okay, let’s accurately observe the signal direction and not veer off course!" Lin Xian said.

All around, aside from the tide of Snow Demons gathering more densely, there was only the vast snowfield and the raging snowstorm. In this situation, the two-kilometer signal coverage range and vehicle speed actually only represented a tiny signal point. Once missed, the train would be completely out of contact, forcing them to scour the ground for track marks to chase after.
