Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 033: Nuclear is the Evolutionary Material of Mutant Beasts?

Fan Chen uses an AK-47 with a magazine capable of loading 30 rounds at a time. Other magazines were prepared beside him, and Fan Xiaoyu also served as an assistant to replenish the empty ammunition.

"Are you seriously not shooting?"

Fan Xiaoyu nodded her head and said, "Yes, Yu'er is not used to it yet, it is better to help fill up the ammunition. After all, Yu'er was wearing Smart Glasses, Yu'er could report every situation."

"All right."

Fan Xiaoyu took a deep breath, then began to give out the information she saw through the Smart Glasses. There was a visible distance, so he could tell the distance precisely without any faults. He reported every time a zombie stepped 20 meters away.

Until finally the zombies began to be seen across the street in the barren garden with a distance of 80 meters from the wall, Yun Mingyue raised her hand, and waved her down to the front.

Immediately, everyone who could operate the firearm, pulled the trigger simultaneously.

Fan Chen gave the authority of the drone to Fan Xiaoyu and changed the perspective of the drone into a small box that was in the upper right corner, so that he could focus more on the enemy in front.

Fan Xiaoyu saw the notification that the Translucent View Drone had already been diverted to him, he was very happy, and started controlling it as far as possible. This drone itself does not have a remote, and how to control it should use Smart Glasses. In short, the Penetrating Drone looked like an extra limb.

Small sparks of fire continued to be seen from the muzzle of the rifle, bullets kept darting about the zombies one by one.

Under the onslaught of bullets, the new zombies entered the playground area, starting to fall on the ground with flowing blackish-red blood.

Fan Chen changed the magazine after the ammunition in it ran out, then fired another shot. He does not shoot just like a person who is just learning, he shoots it carefully but quickly, every ammunition is used well.

Even Basic Warriors, don't waste bullets. But not with Ming Xuan, perhaps out of nervousness, it took three to six shots to kill one.

Fan Chen saw how his mother shot, unhurriedly, every bullet would kill one and every shot would hit right between the eyes of the zombies that were coming.

Yun Mingyue shot without using the help of a scope, let alone Smart Glasses, even her two eyes remained open. This explained how great his ability was in using weapons.

Fan Chen who saw this was convinced that his mother's ability was on par with Guardian★, only to lose in terms of physique. He had heard his mother mumble about riding tanks, helicopters and other fighter planes.

Yun Mingyue frowned when he saw that the number of zombies killed was very few. "Everyone spreads further, everyone has to guard the twenty-meter area, and kill everything in front!"

Without saying a word, everyone spread further from the starting place. Fan Xiaoyu also acted, now that he arranged for the drone to go to the ruins of the city where the Mutant Beasts had previously fought each other.

"Second level Mutant Beasts have fallen! The Third Level is rushing here!" Fan Xiaoyu shouted. From the very beginning of coming to Mingyue Defense, he had continued to learn about Mutant Beasts, so that he could distinguish them directly from their size, but size was not the benchmark.

The Smart Glasses had a feature that detected the strength of the Mutant Beasts based on numbers, and this was based on Fan Chen's Rating ability. Although the detection is not as accurate as the assessment, but can still be used as a reference.

No one panicked when they heard of a level 3 Mutant Beast. With the rocket-propelled grenades they had now, they were still capable of fighting it, even a single higher level was still no problem.

Except for the level 5 Mutant Beasts, it might have to use artillery with a 155mm caliber capable of penetrating a layered tank, or even cannons from the tank itself that were used to kill it.

A level 6 Mutant Beast, level 5 alone had never been found, let alone a level 6. But after the Second Disaster came because of Gaia's anger, there should be a higher level.

Fan Chen looked at the Steel Tank Beetle, its shape the same as the one that chased him back from the Wind Protection City, albeit with a smaller size.

"Fu Shen, have you done what I told you before?"

“Already! We directly carry it out after the initial wave is cleared.”

Hearing Fu Shen's reply from the communicator, Fan Chen gave a small nod and pulled out a small button like a match. If this second wave came too much and had trouble blocking them, then he could only push this button.

"Yu'er, fly the drone higher, scan everything! How many zombies are still alive!"

"Good, Brother!" Fan Xiaoyu wasted no time, she controlled the drone to return and fly higher.

Fan Xiaoyu looked at the ever-increasing numbers with a Black-Red dot filling the screen. "Sister, there are over 13,000!"

Fan Chen was stunned when he heard that. This number was not comparable to the one in the Wind Protection City, but it was still more than the number killed while there. They also have to put in a lot of effort.

With the coming of Yun Mingyue's orders, those standing directly beside Yun Mingyue replaced his weapons with RPGs, followed by those that were calculated oddly.

Fan Chen was in the number four row from Yun Mingyue's right, so he did not change weapons.

The rocket-propelled grenade shot into the sky at a 45° angle, leaving smoke forming a tail.

When it fell from the sky amidst the waves, a loud explosion came with a rising flame, a thick black-colored smoke could be seen from above the wall. The blazing flames burned the zombies, and the burning zombies did not instantly die, but instead could still walk a few steps before falling.

After firing the grenade, everyone in charge of replenishing his ammo.

Fan Chen himself deliberately chose a rechargeable RPG to save money. If a disposable, after use, RPG tube is not much different from ordinary iron pipe, it is too wasteful.

Fan Chen looked at the zombies that came and the ones that fell were not suitable, more came than were eliminated. He ran to his mother's side, climbed into a chair behind the GAU-19 mounted on top of the front-tier wall.

"Sorry Mom, I did it without orders." Without waiting for a response from Yun Mingyue, Fan Chen directly fired a bullet from the machine gun.

Yun Mingyue nodded small with a smile.

Fan Chen's hand shook as he operated the GAU-19, and the bullets fired were extremely fast, killing the front row of zombies that began to pass through the playground and enter the paved road.

Fan Chen turned the barrel of the GAU-19 from the northeast to the southeast, then he pressed the button he had saved earlier.

Suddenly, the ground in the playground before the road, shook like an earthquake, then with a loud bang, the flames lit up beyond the height of the wall.

The flame was enormous, chunks of rock and earth surged up into the sky a dozen meters high. The zombies that were hit right at the center of the explosion instantly burned to the ground, those that were a little further away would be thrown with their bodies intact.

The blast did not stop, given that there were hundreds of mines planted 400 meters in front of the eastern wall. There are two types planted: mines that emit fire with shock waves, and others are bullet mines, which each time explode, will hurl hundreds of bullets within a radius of 10 — 15 meters from the mine.

Given how dangerous these mines were and Basic Workers often went to the playground, Fan Chen asked Fu Shen to modify them all, so that it could only be detonated using a remote.

"Report the amount."

“Sister, there's still half. Then Yu'er noticed there were higher zombies, here it was written Level 20!” Fan Xiaoyu's voice rang out in the Smart Glasses Fan Chen was wearing.

Fan Chen picked up the communicator, and sent a message to Jackson who was still at the top of the cliff. "Find a zombie that looks different, and kill it!"

“Good, Captain!”

Fan Chen kept his communicator, then looking at the remaining ammunition, he had already spent 1000. Then he looked up at the wall of fire that was still burning and was still eroding the number of zombies that came. "It's strange, even though the zombies are attracted by the sound of the fight between the Mutant Beasts, they shouldn't have gone here. Are there any zombies with Level 40? Level 60?"

Fan Chen did not know if the higher the level of zombies, whether they would regain their consciousness while still alive as humans. If so, then it would be very difficult to deal with zombies in the absence of more powerful weapons.

"Mother, has the government ever dropped a nuclear bomb?"

Yun Mingyue stopped shooting, silent for a moment before replying, "Yes, a nuclear bomb is very effective at killing Mutant Beasts at that moment. This news was known only to the upper echelons, and some military retirees to some degree. The government dropped a nuclear bomb in the Pacific Ocean because according to satellite monitoring at the time, many Mutant Beasts evolved there."

"With the hope of stopping their evolution, the government dropped him there. It did manage to stop evolution, but the radiation from these nukes spread, causing certain immunities, and according to reports, there are Mutant Beasts capable of controlling electromagnetic waves."

Yun Mingyue paused for a moment, then added, "Does Chen'er have a nuclear bomb?"

"There's no way I have it, this ability is limited." Fan Chen shook his head, then he fell into a state of deep thought.

If the Mutant Beasts in the ocean were able to swallow nuclear radiation as an evolutionary fuel, it wouldn't be long before they ascended to land, came to the nuclear storage center and consumed it. Then, the Mutant Beasts would continue to expand, have a full army, and eventually the Mutant Beasts rule the Earth!
