Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 020: Return to the City of Wind Protection

Conquest Knight XV stopped at the ruins of a city near the Wind Protection City.

Fan Chen and Fu Shen climbed the ruins as high as a two-story building, they observed the Wind Protection City with long-range binoculars.

From this place, Fan Chen saw smoke billowing in the various corners of the city, and it continued on. The cars came out of the city, breaking through the line of zombies that were blocking.

"It's only been half a day, this place has been so chaotic. I'm not only here to kill zombies and earn money, I also want to kill Mu Yanzi."

His hatred towards Mu Yanzi had completely increased and could no longer be reconciled. He was anxious to kill her when he found out that Mu Yanzi was cooperating with the Fan Family, and was willing to take her sister as a slave.

Fu Shen looked down at Fu Shen kneeling as he held the DX-5 Ravager. "Fu Shen, how many people do you think survived after half a day?"

Fu Shen pondered for a moment, then replied, "With the population and the area of the city, various animals are adding to the damage. Then the humans who tried to save themselves, pushing other humans, were likely only two-fifths of survivors."

Fan Chen gave a small nod, only 24,000 of the 60,000 survivors. The casualties that fell in half a day were already very numerous, this was the most death case, even in the First Disaster, not this severe.

"Are there any Second level Mutant Beasts near here?"

"Nothing." Fu Shen shook his head.

This level of Mutant Beasts had been discussed with Fu Shen and Fu Shan. Level 20 (Tier 1), Level 40 (Tier 2), Level 60 (Tier 3), Level 80 (Tier 4).

So far, according to government news one year ago, there were Mutant Beasts that were resistant to bullets from firearms. There was a high chance that it was a level 4 Mutant Beast, but even so it remained unable to withstand the rocket launcher.

Fan Chen changed his gaze to the renovated north gate, he saw the flow of cars coming out. Just as he wanted to take his eyes off again, he saw a luxurious black car escorted by an armored car, on the front of the car was a small flag that read “ ⁇ ” in gold.

"Fu Shen, shoot the tire part of the car that's being escorted."

Fu Shen nodded, then immediately fired a shot a moment after getting the target.

The bullet shot out at a speed that could not be seen by the eyes. Looking through the firing line, it was still quite far from the target. But after the car continued to run, the bullet penetrated the front left tire.

With the high speed of the car and the bullet penetrating the tire with the caliber of 50 BMG, it damaged the wheels of the car until it lost balance, even the shrapnel attacked the inside and damaged the tie rod or iron that connects the front wheel hook with the steering wheel.

The car that lost the ability to turn coupled with the breakdown of the alloy wheels, lost balance and crashed into the car next to it, then due to the uneven road, the car was overturned many times.

Not only that, one of the armored cars did not have time to brake, so the rolled car was hit quite hard, resulting in the car was thrown and badly damaged.

Fan Chen who saw that, smiled faintly and turned around. "We go down, as for whether we're alive or not, we can confirm it later."

Fu Shen did not ask much. He tied the DX-5 Ravager and hung it on his left shoulder, then walked following Fan Chen towards Conquest Knight XV.

Many Mutant Beast corpses were around the car, the highest being Level 20 (Tier 1).

Fan Chen did not store these corpses as they were useless, unless they had already been exposed to the Zombie Virus, perhaps he would take them.

...***...

—Outside North Gate, Wind Protection City—

Various armored cars stopped surrounding the black car they had initially escorted. One of the cars opened the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a bulletproof vest came down.

The middle-aged man's expression was grim and there was a fear that could not be hidden. After all, he was the one driving the car and hit the car driven by the Fan Family members.

This bodyguard was an outsider, working for the Fan Family. There was an inexplicable fear, even if it was just a rumor, they knew that the Fan Family did not hesitate to kill Fan Hongwu who was their important member just for personal gain.

"Hurry, hurry! Check if the Speaker is alive!" Another middle-aged man shouted, his eyes glaring sharply, wearing a black mask that covered half his face.

He carried an AK-47 and pointed towards the overturned car.

Immediately, nine other people rushed towards the car.

Since the door was badly damaged, they needed an effort to open it.

The commanding captain, kept shouting to rush open the door. Until he heard the sound of a car loud enough to signify an incredible engine. He looked up, saw that there was a car driving towards them, and behind the car was dust rising to form waves.

"Quick bring!" The captain shouted back.

Meanwhile, Fan Chen who was inside the car, held a board with eight buttons on it, each of which was connected to a rocket launcher mounted on the car.

Rocket launcher grenades on top of active cars, firing missile grenades with a desperate tail behind them.

The rocket-propelled grenade shot towards the black car, hitting it directly and resulting in a huge explosion with a blazing fire.

This shot came so fast, that the bodyguards could not run any further despite already throwing the Speaker.

Fu Shen's driving skills were excellent, even though the Conquest Knight XV had a long body, but it could still maneuver.

The front tyre turns with the rear tyre stopping, resulting in an inertial force so that the front of the car leads directly to the side of the armored car.

Fan Chen pressed another button to activate the rocket-propelled grenade next to the car.

Then the car turned again, drove backwards and was behind the guards. Then the rocket-propelled grenade shot at the back.

Fu Shen turned the steering wheel quickly, turned around and left a loud explosion behind.

With three shots from all three sides, the flames that were engendered became enormous forming a gigantic fire mushroom with thick black smoke. From this shot, it is certain that there will be no survivors of this attack.

The car rushed towards the north gate, and due to the continuous explosion earlier, his voice attracted the attention of the zombie wave.

There are still five rocket-propelled grenades that have not been fired.

Fan Chen had to save ammunition and was only used in an emergency or proper, as at this moment, he re-pressed the button to open the path where the zombie wave was blocking.

Boom up!

The blazing fire burned the zombies blocking the way, and the hot temperatures began to crack the walls.

Fan Chen looked at the radar installed on the dashboard of the car. "Break that fire. Then after the cue, jump off the car and go straight up the wall."

Fu Shen gave a small nod, stepping on the accelerator pedal faster, making the car go at a higher speed.

The car was slightly shaken as it smashed into the corpse in front, making the car slightly fly as it broke through the flames that formed the wall.

The car had already passed through the wall of fire, then landed on an uneven road.

Fan Chen continued to observe the radar until the surroundings looked quiet, then he counted down and said loudly, "Now!"

Fan Chen and Fu Shen opened the door, then immediately jumped down until it rolled on the ground. Fan Chen pointed his hand at the car that was still on the move, then stored it into the Inventory.

Not wanting to waste too long, Fan Chen dashed towards the wall of the wall, jumping on top of the piled up corpses, and, it then moved up to a small post behind the wall as a support foothold for him to jump higher.

Fan Chen needed more effort, in contrast to Fu Shen who directly ran on the wall and jumped until both of his hands caught the outskirts of the wall.

Fu Shen pulled his own body with a pull up movement, then raised his right leg and arrived above the city wall.

Fan Chen had also already arrived at the top, directly crouched down and turned around, firing a shot towards the zombies that were charging towards the other zombies.

"Acting place." Fan Chen stood up after killing a few.

Fu Shen nodded, he followed Fan Chen from behind while occasionally shooting zombies trying to climb the wall.

Fan Chen originally wanted to go straight to the middle of the city, but he felt it was too stupid, so he had to clean it from the edge through a high place, and the wall was his way out.
