Apocalypse: The Stronghold System
Chapter 178: Entering the Headquarters of the Black Eagle Group
Fan Chen and Katerina landed on the roof of the minimarket after destroying the surveillance cameras connected deep underground.
The discovery of underground cameras even when the distance is still thousands of meters, it is because of sensors and satellites that capture the presence of electric current in small quantities. After being monitored using a surveillance camera with infrared light and doing calculations, it turns out it is a surveillance camera above the minimarket.
Finding that, Fan Chen instantly destroyed it from a distance using a directional bullet. Bullets in which there are electronic and control devices that are able to deflect air waves, so that the bullet can move freely as long as the range must be straight.
"Directly attack him?"
"No, we still don't know the conditions down there." Fan Chen shook his head; taking out a small robot like a sparrow.
The sparrow flew around the minimarket until it fell on the ground, then plugged its beak into the ground and sent a magnetic field wave with infrared light technology that was able to penetrate the depth of the soil up to 2,000 meters from the surface.
This technology has been developed in such a way that it can reach this level where previously it was only able to detect 500 meters from the surface.
Katerina approached to look at the hologram projection in front of Fan Chen. "Enough in, the various tasks are well organized, the personnel in them are hundreds, and down there are many signs of life gathered. Could it be, experimental materials?"
Fan Chen gave a small nod, continuing to observe the hologram projection in front of him. Originally he had wanted to destroy this place using missiles, but after thinking that he was choked at Level 79, he thought there might be an answer in this place, but these reasons alone are not enough to keep him from launching missiles. But after seeing this, he had another thought.
Maybe the man held there is a professional in their respective fields, and it just so happens that he needs scientists to be used as experimental materials.
"There's nothing wrong with experimental materials, after all we're also catching a lot of humans for experimental materials."
Katerina opened her mouth, but could not argue with this fact, even though they were criminals and scientists who did dangerous research, but capture still caught, experiment keep experimenting—no one can argue this.
"We destroyed their surveillance cameras, they should have known there was a problem at the top." Katerina observed the shattered surveillance cameras all the way to her mast.
"Then let's go inside, and don't let go of the HK Armor." Fan Chen patted Katerina's HK Armor helmet, then jumped down from the minimarket roof.
To be safe, even Fan Chen asked to block Katerina's access from opening the HK Armor except under certain circumstances.
He was such a person, after loving someone, he would be very protective.
Fan Chen landed very quickly on the ground, leaving a huge crack with a hole under his feet.
Zombies around have evolved over and over again, some are over two meters tall and have significant changes, especially on the skin like metal.
According to Academy Song who researches about zombies, it can be concluded that zombies have different evolutionary directions. Some are able to get their thoughts again, but are completely unable to return to humans, even very lustful toward humans and want to eat them. Some evolved normally, like slow footsteps, then walked like normal humans, ran like children to like altets.
The ones that the soldiers had encountered out there were the Lickers zombies, and the Iron Steel that Fan Chen was currently meeting.
Iron Steel Zombies are able to withstand submachine guns, and all that can kill them is the DX-5 Ravager which has strong firepower, especially with 12.7 × 108mm bullet projectile.
It was a conventional weapon, but in Mingyue Defense, almost any weapon could destroy this type of zombie.
Fan Chen spread out his hands; the iron gloves that protected the lower arms until his hands were released, they flew over his head and attacked the Iron Steel Zombie
His hand was enveloped by a flash of lightning that emitted a sound of thunder, then he swung it forward simultaneously until it came into contact with each other.
Whether due to a potential encounter or lightning that burns ions in the air, suddenly there are sparks that appear when lightning in both hands touch.
Fireworks emerged from his hands that exploded in all directions, the ground beneath him shattered with a red color as it was burned out by the high-temperature flames.
Thunder roared, lightning spread out like a spider web that was thrown in all directions.
Lightning destroyed the zombies that ran towards him, turning them into pieces of flesh. The hand was severed and lying on the ground, yet strangely his hand could still move wildly like a lizard's tail.
As the lightning was about to hit the HK Armor, it suddenly turned away as if it was moving away, although there was actually a strong electromagnetic field forming around it to create a protective area.
The Iron Steel Zombie crossed his arms when he saw Fan Chen who was coming quickly.
Fan Chen was astonished at the unexpected action of the Iron Steel Zombie, but he could not stop with this kind of distance. Although the HK Armor could change direction, it was currently unprotected by the armor, and allowed it to receive a slight injury.
Bang out!
Katerina who was monitoring in the air, shot the Steel Zombie with the Ion Shooting Machine.
The Iron Steel Zombie was jolted from the shot that hit his hand. Although it did not feel any pain, but with the speed of such a shot, it caused his hand to crash.
Fan Chen took advantage of this opportunity, he gathered all the strength of the Lightning Element in his right hand. The lightning changed color from blue to purple along with the increased voltage, even the sound of thunder boomed as the lightning clashed against each other.
His hand almost touched the zombie skin, then the gathered lightning turned a bright white color that was very dazzling. Even the surrounding area began to dim because it was inferior to the light produced by lightning.
Bang out!
A loud bang exploded amidst the white light, and as the white light expanded, the ground beneath it lifted up as if iron sand that the magnet had brought along, then evaporated without a trace.
Katerina who was on top of the explosion, originally wanted to help after shooting the Iron Steel Zombie, yet she lost control of the HK Armor which instantly went away from the explosion.
"Xiaochu!" Katerina shouted as she found out who took control of the HK Armor.
“Sorry Mistress. Master asked Xiaochu to keep Madam Katerina away from any danger.”
Katerina opened her mouth, but said nothing. He only looked at the place where Fan Chen was located with worry.
Not long after, the light dimmed revealing Fan Chen who was standing in front of the corpse of the Iron Steel Zombie.
The zombie was no longer complete, its limbs and upper body had already disappeared completely with steaming black smoke.
Fan Chen was panting, his hands were numb and there were burns on the hands unprotected by the HK Armor. White smoke was seen billowing from his burning hands, and he also felt very tired from using a lot of power just to activate this ability.
The hand protector that floated beside Katerina started to move to protect Fan Chen's hand and that was also when the Medical Nano Robot worked to heal the injuries.
Although injured, but he still maintains a smile behind the helmet. Because, he faintly sensed that there was a warm current flowing in his veins. Perhaps, he would soon find a way to break through Level 80 or the Fourth level!
“Fan Chen!”
Fan Chen was stunned when he saw the projection of Katerina's face appearing in his field of vision, he smiled bitterly as he looked at the crying Katerina. "Sorry."
Katerina descended slowly, landing in front of Fan Chen.
Fan Chen turned his face away, looking at the surrounding zombies that started running towards him because of the interest in the sound of the explosion earlier. "Let's go inside!"
He pulled Katerina's hand, carried her into the minimarket and directly went to the hidden door on the floor that was connected to the basement.
As for the zombie matter on the surface, there will be someone taking care of it. His current priority was to descend at the very bottom of the dungeon, save the humans there and retrieve the experimental results.
If they were using the internet, he probably wouldn't have come here. After all, Xiaochu could hack any device connected to the internet and radio. But according to Xiaochu's calculations, the Black Eagle Group scattered in China has not used such devices since the SkyNet Satellite was launched.
