Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 108: Waiting for the Coming of the Fifth Level Mutant Beast

Fan Chen had regained his composure, he kept shooting new zombies named “Licker”. He himself did not know what the name of this zombie was, so he followed the name of the game in his previous life.

This zombie brain twitches when after swallowing its fellow, and seems to start developing a new intelligence because it is already careful of the surroundings.

He did not hesitate anymore, he re-shot the shot and it only took a matter of seconds to destroy his brain.

"It doesn't look like I expected."

Fan Xiaoyu at the side, lifted the M4 Carbine at a 45° angle, then pulled the trigger of the M203 to launch the grenade.

The grenade shot down, hitting the ruins blocking the wolf pack.

Boom up!

The loud explosion caused the rocks to explode, and some scattered in all directions. The rocks were scattered either by chance or not, but the size was very suitable and quite sharp on its front, it hit the wolf pack trying to climb up the ruins.

Fan Xiaoyu stood up as he looked at this pack of wolves that pierced through the flames as well as the thick smoke, he fired a directed shot, but in the face of such a high level mutant beast, it still required a lot of ammunition.

Fan Chen stood up after killing a few Lickers, he swung his hand, suddenly there was an unmanned fighter aircraft carrying a bomb at the bottom.

The fighter had the exact same model as the Chengdu J-20, but was 21 meters long, 13 meters wide and 4 meters high, with the empty load is 19 tons and the maximum load is 40 tons.

The fighter aircraft named Mingyue J-18 was instantly active when it was released from within the Inventory, it shot extremely high towards the zombie swarm from its current place.

The Mingyue J-18 carries six 2,000 kg TNT bombs on each wing.

The bomb uses a nuclear fission system, so the impact is smaller, and the fuel part uses Energy Crystals.

When one of the bombs dropped 200 meters from the ground and fell right in the middle of the zombie herd, a blinding light from the explosion was seen when it reached the ground, as well as a very loud sound when the shock wave releases a huge energy from the explosion of the bomb.

Fire soared to a height of 250 meters from the ground, thick smoke formed a giant mushroom following it. Hard ground and debris scattered in the form of sand and dust, overwhelming shock waves swept through the surroundings in a three-kilometer radius, flying anything in its path. The wind speed of the shock wave is also very fast, from hundreds to thousands of meters per second.

The surrounding zombies were swept away, the shockwave knocking out the mutant beasts. Even their troops that were currently taking the form of robots, did not escape the impact.

Fan Chen waved his hand, he took out a 15 meter high iron wall, 45 meters long and 8 meters thick. These iron walls were robots used to build temporary fortifications while on expeditions.

But in its use is not friendly, because the speed of movement is only 5 km/h.

"Shielded!" Fan Chen shouted out loudly.

He himself did not expect the explosion would be very loud like this, but he wanted to take out the Chengdu J-18 carrying a bomb with a mass of 500 kg of TNT, but because of the rush, he was wrong to take it.

"Damn! It's hot!" Fan Xiaoyu cussed as she sensed the hot wind generated by the shockwave. He looked at his brother coldly. "Don't you say you don't want to use this weapon, then why use it?"

"The numbers are too many, and there are some zombies that can't be killed with ordinary weapons, okay? Then a lot of debris gets in the way, it's troublesome." Fan Chen answered him while avoiding his sister's cold gaze. "Then, we can't use ballistic missiles to kill the Fifth level because we need Space Worms inside."

Fan Xiaoyu still did not accept this excuse even though it made sense, she still looked at her brother with a cold gaze.

Suddenly...

A wolf roar came from above the iron wall where they were sheltering, making everyone look up to see it.

This wolf leaped down lunging towards Fan Xiaoyu.

Fan Chen couldn't possibly let his sister get hurt even though it was literally, but needless to know, the pain was real. He pushed his sister away, avoiding the wolf's lunge.

But, the wolf managed to bite Fan Chen's left hand.

Fan Chen felt an excruciating pain, he hit the wolf on the head, but did not produce good results because the fur was so thick and hard as metal.

He wore the DX-5 Ravager from close range, but the results were not very good, it only left a small bruise on the outermost layer of skin.

The wolf was furious, he jumped from the top of the building that was indeed about to collapse, banging Fan Chen whom he had brought to the ground as well as the wall.

Then, the wolf carried Fan Chen away from the troops under attack from the firearm fire.

Fan Chen who was pulled by the wolf, was forced to remove the joint between the upper arm and the lower arm. The pain was overwhelming, completely like a hand cut by a sword, although he himself never felt his hand cut off.

Fan Chen stood up slowly, even though he felt pain, but all the electronic components were still functioning properly. If this were a carbon-based human body, with the impact it had experienced just now, it would definitely be lying weakly on the ground and losing consciousness.

"Istuped."

The hand carried by the wolf began to emit a buzzing sound with a gleam of white light shining down, blinding the bewildered wolf eyes.

With a loud bang, the titanium arm exploded into countless splinters, scattering within the wolf's mouth inflicting severe injuries.

The wolf howled as it retreated with irregular strides, fresh blood rushing from its mouth, dozens of its fangs falling and half its mouth was crushed.

Fan Chen took the replacement arm inside the Inventory and mounted it again, then he used the DX-5 Ravager to shoot the wolf without aiming it first.

All the troops that had not stopped shooting, when they saw Fan Chen was safe, they changed weapons with greater firepower, some even directly using RPGs.

Fan Chen stopped attacking, he let the others hurry. He stayed in place, looking at his new left hand. "It's been the second time I've been seriously injured on an expedition."

“Captain, Fifth level Mutant Beasts that were targeted started to switch places.”

Basel appeared in Fan Chen's field of vision, and displayed a blue map that floated in the air with a red dot. This red dot moved towards the southeast, where this direction was where they were currently.

Fan Chen saw there was an estimated time when this Fifth level arrived here: 59 minutes 30 seconds.

"Captain." Fu Shen came over to Fan Chen with a glass tube in his hand. "Space Worms, we got it."

"Good." Fan Chen received the Space Worm, its size was not as large as that of a zombie, but at least three times that of the Space Worm from the Wind Dove.

Then seeing that this Space Worm does not die shortly after being removed from its host, then the level is higher, although not as high as Space Worm in the Ecology Laboratory, he said, but it is enough to develop the same herb at a lower rate for the general public.

Fan Chen waved his hand, he sent a warning message from Basel earlier to Fu Shen and Fu Shan.

"Target we come here, we wait here, and you two should know what to do." Fan Chen took out more Defense Robots.

Looking at the 25 Defense Robots with dimensions of 45 × 8 × 15 meters, Fu Shen and Fu Shan looked at each other, then nodded while staring at Fan Chen.

"Well, we'll deploy personnel to clear the gap between the buildings, and replace it with a Defense Robot." Fu Shen saluted, then turned around.

Fu Shan also left after paying the military salute.

"Captain, what's wrong?" Xiao Ming came with Xu Lumin.

Fan Chen looked at the Mechanic in front of him whom he had summoned, he took out many other fixtures from within the Inventory: there was a stone cutting machine with a sharp disc, its diameter was about three meters, and it had a very large number of pieces, then there is a hammer that weighs 2,000 kilograms, a sharp sword with a length of six meters, as well as various other heavy weapons.

"Xiaochu has finished his work, and you both modified the Defense Robot Version 1.0, upgrade to Version 2.0 by inserting a variety of these weapons."

The Defense Robots he possessed today were still very simple, just an ordinary wall without any resistance, which was why, he wanted to upgrade it by hiding a wide variety of weapons within it.

Like the one on the Shizi Yang River, which is 38 kilometers to the west of Mingyue Defense. Although the Shizi River is already controlled, the defense there is still based on concrete walls, and currently other major projects are being worked on.

The project was one he had discussed with Fan Xiaoyu, the Underwater Port Project.

Xiao Ming and Xu Lumin nodded their heads, they both understood there was a mutant beast that could withstand bullets and was as hard as metal, but with this gigantic mower, it should be able to cut through mutant beasts.

Without wasting time, the two began to work.

Fan Chen also did not stay silent, he took out another humanoid robot and asked Xiaochu to order the warriors in Mingyue Defense to enter the VR Pod. He also asked Basel to take control of the A.I.S Robot Forces.

So in total, there are 60 Robot Troops (Humans) and 500 Robot Troops (Basels).

If he wanted to, Fan Chen could instantly unleash 5,000 Robot Troops (Basels), but too many personnel was also no good.
