Chapter 937 - 381: Mechanical Ruler, Qin Feng (8000) Part 2

"Does this mean small convoys are just gathering places for the weak?"

"No choice, reality is harsh. These small convoys can only band together to increase risk resistance. Most of these people can’t or dare not leave Dawn City."

Jiang Yun pointed to a convoy north of the square, heavily armed with more turrets than gun barrels on their roofs: "All-Metal Frenzy, Captain Han Tiege, former director of Original Lan City Mechanical Armament Factory, with 70,000 members, many of whom are militia from the Southwest Region, they have ample ammunition and energy systems, conducting transactions with Silent City, Dawn City, and Phoenix Society, claiming to have more guns than people, with over 100 energy weapons like electromagnetic railguns and high-energy pulse cannons."

"Then there’s the convoy called Steel Barrier, led by Xu Yufei, a hard-to-evaluate person, his convoy has many automated devices and robots, drones, total number is only 12,000, and most of them grew after coming to Dawn City. It’s quite impressive, I thought this guy would have fled the city long ago, surprised to find him here."

"There are other medium and small-sized, unfamiliar convoys I won’t introduce. But it seems the number of attendees is more impressive than online."

"They must have been influenced too, trying to quickly recruit people to escape."

"My team has already screened the area. Not only are there no Night Patrol Team members, but not even City Defense Camp members. However, we did find Blazing Angel Department members appearing on the outskirts, all in civilian clothing." At this moment, Zhou Jin walked over with a serious expression: "Such a large gathering, yet the situation is a bit odd, guess we’re right, the Infinite Train Alliance indeed has relations with Federation senior officials."

"Captain Zhou, what’s your plan?" Lin Xian asked.

"I have a team stationed at the Star City Orbital Station to monitor, for now, let’s observe the situation here. We’ve set up monitoring equipment in several locations, should we detect Wen Dong or other Federation persons, we’ll act."

Lin Xian nodded, gazing towards the square, saying

"Let’s just wait and see."

The square was bustling with all types of outer armors and prosthetics in sight. Even some ordinary people in casual clothes were carrying weapons, resembling a large war square, but everyone seemed adapted to such defenses under the apocalypse, with nerves frayed tight. Many survivors in line even carried all their belongings.

For a while, curious survivors, recruiting convoys, densely queued crowds, along with drones and manned flying devices overhead, formed a seemingly grand yet intensely stifling scene.

"Wow, it’s the first time seeing so many recruiting, and yet daring to hold public brawls, this Infinite Alliance has some power!" Some began to discuss.

"I’ve heard it has strong backgrounds, Federation senior officials have given the nod, as long as there’s no crippling or fatal outcome, it’s allowed."

"I don’t think so, the Federation is burning its eyebrows, probably too busy to care!"

"Who exactly is Qin Feng, never heard of before, is he really a mechanical superpower?"

A bearded man said: "Who knows, our convoy only heard about Lin Xian of the Unlimited Fleet, able to use a gas turbine train to lift thousands of cars and over 30,000 people onto the high-altitude corridor, really impressive!"

"Indeed, hasn’t Qin Feng heard of Captain Lin’s deeds of the Infinity? Daring to use the same convoy name..."

"I heard someone say Qin Feng might be Lin Xian’s apprentice."

"Nonsense, superpowers can’t be taught, you’ve read too many novels, but if I had this superpower, I’d recruit a big convoy too, myself capable of arming an army!"

"Right, being able to create electromagnetic guns, Gatling, also make airplanes, tanks, and power armor, this superpower is absolutely amazing!"

"In terms of potential, seems stronger than thunder, fire, water, wind elements..."

"That’s why many want to join, heard Steel Barrier has allied with them, sort of half-joined, that’s over 10,000 people, wow..."

...

Around the square’s outskirts, some large convoys parked their vehicles together temporarily, with some convoy leaders, like Lin Xian, standing atop high buildings amidst a sea of people.

In a rain-sheltered temporary camp, dozens from the large convoy alliances sat inside with somber faces watching this assembly, although not very familiar with each other, most had interacted and cooperated somewhat.

Lin Qingyu, 42 years old, dressed in black combat uniform, Martin boots, gentle-faced with sunglasses, seemed harmless. If not for sitting here, many would not have imagined he was the leader of a massive alliance convoy of tens of thousands.

"Frenzy Level small team leader, Vajra Level unlimited recruitment..., who is this Qin Feng that’s suddenly emerged, is his resource also infinite?"

Speaking was the leader beside him, Han Tiege of the All-Metal Frenzy, short and somewhat plump, but clad in a custom-made high-tech power armor with flying propellers, wrapped like a statue, seemingly cautious, always fully armed wherever he went.

"Mechanical superpower is heaven-defying, it’s a productivity itself, ammunition and weapons are now hard currency, so it’s not surprising," said 37-year-old Luo Heng, sharp-eyed, looking towards the Silver Star in the square center: "Some from our convoy left to sign up, yours must have too."
