Route Planning

Fujin District was originally a seaside town. The morning air here is clear, but it is relatively cold. Even if the December sun casts warm light, it cannot dispel the chill brought by the sea breeze.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, Tom was about to set off, and the members of the railway committee naturally came to see him off. And the supplies and equipment for the trip were fixed overnight last night.

Two sets of specially improved power armor, a gasoline powered locomotive, several electric crystal guns, electric crystal guns, and bullets, and several sets of four color crystals. Of course, there were also hand grenades, food, clothing, etc., all of which were supported by the committee for Tom, and could also be considered as Tom's gratitude for relieving the threat posed by Wu Tianpeng and others,

Luo Xuan is introverted and doesn't like to talk. She sat in the driver's seat early, turned on the MP3 player in the car, and listened to rock and roll playing bubbles.

Tom bid farewell to Yue Zhenbang and others one by one, and finally arrived at Yue Shanshan.

The two embraced passionately, a gesture of intimacy that only lovers possess. Yue Zhenbang and others on the side looked at them calmly, as if they had been lovers for many years.

"I've figured it out!" Yue Shanshan said softly in his ear, "I just need to persuade my brother and grandfather to migrate everyone to your place, and our responsibilities will overlap. I'll take everyone to find you together then."

The Ark can indeed accommodate the survivors of the Endeavour, but Tom doesn't think that Yue Zhenbang and others would abandon such a large family business to join them, let alone the current situation of the Ark is still very unclear.

But for now, this is the best way to appease her and stay here. I believe Yue Zhenbang also understands this truth. As long as he drags on, at least it can give Yue Shanshan, who is eager to pursue Tom, a hope.

"Okay, but you can't go without permission. If you want to come to us, your committee and all the survivors must agree. After all, this is the end of the world, and unity is strength."

"Of course, I know how to do it, hehe!"

With this hope, Tom's departure was not so difficult for Yue Shanshan to accept. Tom's expected entanglement did not appear, so he naturally accelerated the process and bid farewell to everyone. He sat in the co pilot seat and left the high-speed train base with a loud bang under Luo Xuan's foot on the accelerator, heading north along the main road.

It has been almost two years since the Miniature Cataclysm, and whether it's Luo Xuan or Tom, they have adapted very well to this huge city full of threatening creatures. Moreover, the two of them are also skilled fighters. Even if they encounter mutated creatures that covet them halfway, they can easily deal with them.

Along the way, they talked freely, discussed abilities together, fought against mutated creatures together, and regained their childhood understanding. They also collected many crystals for their crystal nuclei to absorb.

For their destination, of course, it is Donglang Business District, but the route is still the one agreed upon by Shen Jiayi and him. If they can meet halfway, it is best to turn around when they reach the vicinity of Donglang Business District.

He believed that if the ark commanded by Shen Jiayi really escaped danger in the Donglang commercial district, it would definitely return to the route they agreed on as quickly as possible. Only in this way can they meet as much as possible in this huge city.

I walked day and night for three days, but still didn't see any people. This is normal, after all, the city is too big, and there are very few people who can survive.

Finally, at noon on the the fourth day, Luo Xuan, who was flying to the air for reconnaissance, found the remains of an abandoned small car. Under her guidance, Tom drove over to inspect and saw that it was a manufactured model belonging to the Haiwei Mini Industry, which further increased the accuracy of the intelligence. Tom immediately decided to head towards the Donglang commercial district.

After walking for half a day, when following the map guidance to reach Donglangyun near the square, Luo Xuan noticed two armored vehicles hovering. Tom immediately decided to put them away and turn to walking.

He brought a crystal backpack and an electric crystal gun, and was quietly carried by Luo Xuan as he flew behind the armored vehicle. After following for several hours, the armored vehicle finally turned back and they followed along for a while, entering an underground parking lot.

Passing through dusty cars, they arrived at a bright clearing. Giant searchlights scattered around, shining brightly. Several large trucks surrounded a taller tank in the middle, while dozens of armed vehicles and tanks, as well as orderly sentries and patrols, surrounded the area.

The regular tank is the main tank of the Haiwei Mini Industry, the Type 92 Apocalypse Tank, but there has been a slight change in appearance, which may be due to an upgrade. More armed pickup trucks are still in their original appearance, with two launchers next to the door, possibly weapons such as missile guns.

The most eye-catching one is the huge tank surrounded in the center, which is visually over seventy centimeters high and looks like an enlarged version of the Apocalypse Tank from a distance. However, through a telescope, Tom noticed that its surface had many metal wrinkles and patterns, possibly incorporating the deformation characteristics of the control metal.

In almost a year, it seems that the technology of Haiwei Mini Industry, led by Shen Liansheng, has also undergone new changes.

This huge tank has multiple dents and scratches, and several metal shaped awakeners are nervously repairing it, indicating that it has just experienced a major battle.

The soldiers patrolling around are dressed in more sci-fi metal armor, which may not be as powerful as the electric crystal powered armor of the Endeavour, but they have a greater advantage in terms of quantity. There are as many as forty to fifty soldiers patrolling the field. According to personnel allocation, there will inevitably be more soldiers resting in the camp at night. Conservatively, the estimated strength is over a few hundred people, not to mention the drivers of various tank vehicles.

Luo Xuan suggested that Tom go stealth to spy on intelligence, and if there is a chance to directly capture the thief, first capture the king and make a big news. But Tom probed and found that there was a special horn shaped device installed on the peripheral sentries. He remembered that before leaving, the R&D department had initiated a project to develop an anti stealth ability device.

Now that it has been so long, it is estimated that there has been initial effectiveness. If one is found to be leaning against it, it may be exposed, which is not good. At present, they are in the dark, which is the only advantage in a situation where we are outnumbered and cannot be easily lost.

So they chose to observe and first got into a nearby Mercedes Benz car to pay attention to the situation at the campsite.

The air inside the Mercedes Benz car is very stuffy, but Tom and Luo Xuan are both able to adapt to harsh environments, so it doesn't have much impact.

After waiting for over an hour, the campsite suddenly took action, and vehicles and personnel were all equipped and boarded. Then, numerous vehicles and tanks crowded the huge tank and drove inside.

The vehicle was moving too fast, and Tom and his team could only run on their legs, following the sound and entering the parking lot. A new round of battle had already begun here.

A huge RV was parked in a corner of the wall, and the searchlights illuminated a corner of the parking lot. Despite the body being full of damage, Tom still recognized it at a glance, and it was the ark.

It seems that the Ark was blocked by them into this underground parking lot. In theory, the parking lot has more than one exit, and they can completely leave through other entrances and exits, but it is unclear whether the other entrances are sealed or what the situation is.

At this point, the troops of Haiwei Mini Industry had already deployed, armed with pickup trucks, and the Apocalypse tanks were pressing in one after another, while the tall tanks were slowly approaching from behind the convoy, while firing at the ark with ease.

The surface of the ark seemed to have raised a barrier, enduring repeated bombardments of artillery. And the armed forces of the Ark have also stepped forward and engaged in battle with the forces of Haiwei Mini Industry.

In terms of quantity, Ark's armed pickup trucks and tanks are even rarer, but it seems that each of them has a small barrier that is sufficient to withstand enemy gunfire attacks. However, these crystal energy barriers only allow the vehicle to withstand twice the damage and cannot withstand a larger number of enemy attacks. Under repeated attacks, a number of armed pickup trucks explode, and the personnel inside the vehicle may not be in good condition.

The giant armor, standing at a height of 68 centimeters, supported a huge shield with a crystal energy barrier appearing on the surface, walked step by step towards the large tank of the Haiwei Mini Industry. The armed artillery on its body also relentlessly attacked the enemy along the way. Tom even saw multiple large pointed cones flying back and forth in the air, just like Yue Shanshan. This must have been controlled by the awakeners inside the armor through their mind control.

This should be the Sea King's Giant Armor, probably upgraded, with a change in appearance and an increase in height. However, compared to taller tanks, the Sea King's movements were too slow, and halfway through the shield's crystal energy barrier was broken. Two shells then blasted through the shield, breaking the arm holding the shield.

At this time, the Sea King was also riddled with scars, and traces of urgent repairs could be seen everywhere. They must have experienced a difficult and outstanding battle, and now it is already a back to back battle.

The decisive forces of both sides now are the giant tanks and the Sea King armor. If either side's giant armament collapses first, the balance of the battle will immediately tilt. Tom and Luo Xuan took a few seconds to launch a decisive attack, but they first intercepted an armed pickup truck from the Haiwei Mini Industry on the outskirts of the battlefield.

With lightning speed, Luo Xuan killed three soldiers on the car with bone spurs, and then they drove in and began to penetrate the battlefield, approaching the Sea King's Giant Armor.

Along the way, the flames of war were fierce. In addition to carefully handling the communication and command of his comrades, he also had to avoid the attack on the other side of the Ark. After a certain distance, the commander of Haiwei Mini Industry noticed their abnormality and immediately dispatched three armed pickup trucks to approach them and ordered them to stop.

Tom slammed on the accelerator and rushed over. Three armed pickup trucks decisively cut off fire and accelerated their pursuit.

At this moment, the sea king's chest was blasted open by the shells of the giant tank, and he stumbled and half knelt on the ground. Tom drove over in time and shook hands with Luo Xuan, "Prepare for the skeleton transformation!"

"No problem!"

Sea King Giant Armor also discovered this special armed pickup truck, with only the remaining arm stretched out. Luo Xuan hugged Tom and flew away from the exploded armed pickup truck, then flew to the palm of the giant armor.

There is a contact point in the center of the palm, which is the end of the material where energy is transmitted. Tom immediately presses it and inputs telepathy.

"Is it Meiqi? Who else?"

"Big hammer, my big hammer!" Lin Meiqi's joyful heart surged with surging strength. "Why are you such a jerk here now? We... we're all going to die!"

"No way! We won't die! You're ready to open up your spiritual connection, we're going in. This time, let them see the true power of the next sea king!"
