"Interstellar army!!??"

"It’s the Phoenix Society support from Xilan City!!" KIKI exclaimed.

"That’s right, the seventh Investigation Corps is the stationed unit in Xilan City. We’re saved!" Upon hearing the voice from the communicator, Sun immediately shouted excitedly.

At this moment, everyone finally realized that Lin Xian had used the gravitational lens not only to push back the wave of monsters but also to light a beacon for the Phoenix Society’s interstellar army coming from Xilan City. By using it as a ’flare,’ he replaced the signal blocked by the snow, allowing the support to locate the direction of the Joint Train.

"It seems Brother Lin must have caught the signal from the Phoenix Society, so he did this trick!!" Shi Deyuan said with relief, "Good grief, that trick was amazing!"

Qian Deli looked at Lin Xian with much astonishment, nodding as he said, "Lao Shi, I believe your words now, this young man is indeed exceptional."

"Quick, quick, quick, first let Captain Lin receive medical treatment. It’s about to get dark; we should also quickly assist the wounded and organize the train," Ning Jing decisively said at this point. After a fierce battle that nearly collapsed the entire front line, the best choice was to reorganize at the first opportunity regardless of the situation.

"Alright, hurry!"

"Shu Qin, Miao Lu, quickly help the wounded! Da Lou, Lv Chang, check the train!" Chen Sixuan immediately instructed.

Meanwhile, KIKI hurriedly used telekinesis to pick up Lin Xian and flew into the carriage.

The Infinity and Dragon Mountain No.1, together with the Emperor Plan team and the five hundred-man motorcades, all seemed to have gained a breather from the suffocating water surface.

When learning that the Phoenix Society’s support was arriving, everyone was extremely excited, many crying with joy.

Soon, the interiors of all the motorcades became busy, assisting the wounded, assessing damage, preparing weapons and ammunition, bracing for the onset of night.

On the Infinity, KIKI took Lin Xian back to Carriage No. 3. By that time, other team members from different carriages had all swarmed over, looking eagerly at Lin Xian being treated in the medical cabin. At the moment of utmost despair, their Captain Lin had rekindled the flame of hope!

At this moment, in everyone’s hearts, Lin Xian was like a Savior God!

Whirring, whirring!!

Warhawk-grade aerial gunboats, Lightning 2 aerospace fighters, H50 bomber formations, even a 30,000-ton dreadnought-class aerial carrier breaking through the sky amid the earth-shattering sonic booms of the escort formations.

At the same time, in the snowy field ahead, the rumbling ground forces were turning from east to north, closing in on the direction of the northern track.

This force was the Phoenix Society’s interstellar army going to support the Trakama Ice Valley, which received the automatic signal feedback set by Lin Xian’s signal posts on the way. The electronic beacon stretching over a hundred kilometers served as a network of signals, successfully connecting with the support forces and guiding them toward the northern track’s direction.

This was originally a small feedback device Lin Xian cautiously designed, not expecting it to be useful, as he also thought the Phoenix Society’s support might hardly locate them in the snowstorm darkness, not to mention the Flying Superpower User sent to seek help might not even make it to Xilan City.

As a result, his electronic beacon indeed managed to contact the reinforcements from Xilan City. The only issue was, by then, the direction of those signal posts had already deviated, the train had started moving, and when Lin Xian captured the signal of the Phoenix Society’s patrolling aircraft responsible for searching, the signal had vanished before he could contact it.

That’s why he came up with the plan of using the gravitational lens as a flare beacon.

The darkness was closing in, and the wounded on the Infinity were all receiving treatment. Dragon Mountain No.1 had also suffered significant losses, and Ah Bai had exerted a lot of energy in the pursuit battle. After a slight relief, he came to the top of the train using his ability to observe anomalies, as no one dared to neglect the dangers after dark.

On the train, Ah Bai looked towards the back of the line of vehicles, and his youthful face suddenly changed expression. In the blizzard behind, he seemed to see a giant creature with countless oddly-shaped long legs swaying amidst the storm, like a giant sea urchin standing on the snowfield, with red eyes flashing by. With the train accelerating and the Phoenix Society’s reinforcements approaching, it quickly disappeared into the snowstorm.

...

On the Infinity, everyone was busy; Xiao Yuan and the other wounded were receiving treatment. Shu Qin and Chen Sixuan were urgently recharging the power armor, but by now the train’s ammunition was virtually exhausted. Only the electromagnetic railgun remained usable; there was hardly anything left of the others.

Lin Xian’s head was groggy. When he opened his eyes, he seemed to have dreamed again of being in Jiang City, on the rooftop of the apartment building. The enormous floating corpse obscuring the sky had disappeared, and the massive blob-like cloud was gone too.

The sunset slanted softly, the city desolate and barren.

Beep, beep.

The beep from his watch sounded, and Lin Xian glanced at the time.

18:40.

His expression changed, reflexively running downstairs, but when he arrived at the stairwell, he found the door to his shelter tightly locked. He was puzzled, and with a motion of the Mechanical Heart, he effortlessly unlocked the mechanical lock inside, then pushed the door open.

The living room was empty. Lin Xian, holding the short knife, gently closed the door and checked each room. Strangely, all the rooms were unoccupied.

Whether it was the living room, kitchen, storage room, or bedroom, they were in the same state as after he left Jiang City. He remembered the door had been blasted open by KIKI, so it seemed like the door had been re-installed.
