Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 126: Attacking the Imperial City (7)

"Mother!" Su Qing dashed towards Yao Yilin who was unconscious from fear.

Fan Chen walked up to the young soldiers who had been tormenting Su Han, he also heard the sound of gunshots coming from different directions, and he knew that the other squads had already started acting.

Su Han opened his eyes slowly, he held onto his head that was hurting. "Qi-Qing'er?"

Su Qing lowered Yao Yilin slowly, then hugged Su Han tightly, but not to the point of hurting as the sensors inside the body scanned Su Han as a carbon-based living thing, so as to hold the servo motor or hydraulic so as not to press too much on Su Han's body to crumble.

Su Han returned a hug from his daughter, he couldn't help but cry. This was the first time she cried after losing news of her daughter, even when she was tortured and humiliated, she still held her back, but this time, she could not.

Katerina came over to Su Qing with a bag containing medical equipment. "Give this ointment, although it cannot heal internal wounds, but at least for now give treatment on the outside."

Su Qing took it, then applied it carefully on her father's severely injured face.

Miracle ensued, Su Han's wounds recovered at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye; half of his purple and swollen face, began to shrink and his color changed gradually, from purple to pink; puffy eyes that initially have difficulty opening, can blink.

Su Qing was stunned when she saw the speed of wound recovery, she could not believe this.

"What are you gonna do with him?" Fan Chen came over to Su Qing with a young soldier, who carried her by pulling her hair.

Su Qing turned her head, she stared intently with hatred. He reached out his hand picking up the gun on Fan Chen's thigh, then pulled the trigger, but no matter how hard he tried, the bullet didn't manage to fire.

Fan Chen sighed, he knew that Su Qing wanted to take his weapon, but he let it go. Yet looking at this kind of Su Qing, he felt that it was not a wise choice to kill this army. "Are you sure you want to kill him outright? We can bring it back and use it as experimental material."

As for what experiments to conduct, Fan Chen had many ideas that could not yet be realized, and Iron Skin or Yang Xu could no longer withstand more experiments.

Su Qing was stunned, “experiment” was the word that made her shaken, because after all she was one of the victims who had experienced it. He did not want anyone to have the same fate as him, but upon seeing his injured father and mother, he braced himself to nod his head. "Use him as an experimental substance."

Fan Chen smiled, he threw the soldier towards Katerina, and Katerina directly operated on the young soldier for the bleeding to stop.

Su Han looked at his daughter and Fan Chen with a puzzled expression.

Fan Chen returned Su Han's gaze, he did not understand why Su Han was looking at him, but as Xiaochu gave the calculation, he finally understood. "I know you have a lot of questions, including why Su Qing changed like this, but, we better wait for Admiral Su's arrival so as not to explain it over and over."

Su Han nodded his head with his mouth slightly open, but he suddenly widened his eyes. "You, sending people to jail?"

Su Qing was also surprised when she heard it. "You already knew about Admiral Su from the beginning, right?"

Fan Chen waved his hand and said flatly, "No idea, you said Admiral Su was captured, and he should be where Fu Shan is heading."

Fan Chen turned around avoiding the gaze of Su Qing's eyes, and at the same time he saw Fu Shen coming.

"Captain, all the enemies have been cleared, there are no casualties on our side, but the members of the Su Family have suffered minor or severe injuries and need to perform surgery."

Fan Chen frowned. "What's wrong?"

"One of the victims suffered damage to the leg because shrapnel was left behind and stabbed the bone, then there was one eye blindness due to excessive beating, and the worst was lung damage. I don't know how they've survived to this day after all the torture." Fu Shen answered him without any emotion at all, even his voice was flat.

Fan Chen was stunned, not because of Fu Shen's knowledge in detecting organ damage, therefore all of that could be known through CT Scan scans embedded in the eyes of every robot. He was stunned because of all this torture, even Su Qing did not experience blindness, and lung damage due to the nutrient fluid, not because of the broken ribs.

As for the matter of the shooting, Su Qing experienced it...

"Caterina ..." Fan Chen turned his head to look at Katerina who had already completed a simple operation. "Do the surgery, if you need the help of medical personnel, I'll call Xia Fei, Fei Yun, Sandrina, Anna, and Song Meiya."

Xia Feiya (Surgeon), Fei Yun (General Physician), Sandrina (Nerve Doctor), Anna (Psychiatrist), Song Meiya (Doctor “Magang” Surgery).

Katerina nodded her head. "Call everyone the Captain mentioned."

Fan Chen waved his hand, there were suddenly five people standing in front of him with their eyes closed. "We go in first, let the soldiers stand guard here until these people actually come." He looked at Katerina.

Katerina nodded back, then she looked at Su Qing.

Su Qing knew the meaning of that gaze, she carried Yao Yilin carefully and then carried her in.

Su Han was speechless as he looked at the human who had suddenly appeared, he observed, but with no movement, he even started to think that the five people who had come were frozen corpses.

—Team Alpha—

The mountain that is not too high is used as a natural fence to limit zombies and monsters that come from the north, and this place is also used as a center of government. It was strange, before the First Disaster, the center of government was in the middle of the city, but now it was instead changed in a place directly adjacent to the monster area.

In front of the foot of the mountain, there is an area with a size of 3,000 × 1,500 meters, and in this area many smooth paved roads. Armored combat vehicles, personnel-carrying trucks, ballistic missile-carrying trucks, artillery, and so on are parked there, there are even warplanes.

This area is bounded by a barbed fence that is fed by high-voltage electric current, but at this time the current is not too strong because it uses backup power.

Away from the heavily guarded area, there were trucks running more slowly each time, until they stopped where the road was rarely traveled.

Yun Mingyue leaped from the truck, then he walked towards the main road that military cars usually drove on.

He stopped when he almost reached the main road, he leaned against the wall of the house. His head slipped to look at the area behind him. "This place changed completely, it used to be a tourist place, but now it has turned into a government center."

Yin Mengqi stood beside Yun Mingyue, she was not even careful as she stood directly by the side of the road without any protection. "Look at that fighter, I want to maneuver again, it's been a long time since I've done it."

Yun Mingyue withdrew Yin Mengqi's hand to re-enter the desolate path. "You, you fucking shit!"

Yin Mengqi shrugged her shoulders. "What harm? Surveillance cameras have been hacked by my husband, and their radar systems have been disabled."

Luo Zhu sighed as he looked at his wife who was not careful, but indeed all of the defense systems had already been hacked and this was very easy; either because of their weakened defense, it was, or because the Quantum Brain helps hack easier, or because the servers there have been damaged earlier, Fan Chen said during the rocket launch.

Tang Zixuan walked over while lifting the mask to cover her face. "Prepared, the operation this time is more difficult than when we infiltrated the mercenary headquarters 22 years ago. But, we are not in the form of a human body, we are in the form of robots. If there was any mistake, even a wound, no matter how small, that person would have to pay for our meal for an entire week!"

Yin Mengqi nodded, then grinned, she lifted the Glock Meyer 22 towards Tang Zixuan's shoulder. "If I shoot you right now, does that count?"

Tang Zixuan turned her gaze towards Luo Zhu.

Luo Zhu laughed awkwardly avoiding Tang Zixuan's gaze while lowering his wife's hand.

Tang Zixuan looked at everyone, making sure everyone was no longer joking. He raised his left hand, then clenched his hand.

Without lingering, everything went in the opposite direction...
