Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 042: Battle of 2 Groups

The distance of their group was still quite far from the ruins of the city, and the plains were still high enough to be able to see it all with the help of Smart Glasses. It's like they're on a high road, and the ruins are on the descent of the road.

Fan Chen could see there were dozens of cars rushing towards the ruins from the east. He did not stop the other party, as indeed the other party did not know where he was right now.

All the groups on the other party were men who looked rough and wild. But even though it looked rude, their group seemed to be well organized.

Suddenly, Fan Chen recalled about the group that was troubling the society. The group rioted, illegally abducted children and women, then sent them abroad for research.

This group existed before the First Disaster, and this research is about altering the genes of the human body, he said, some even say that captured humans will be locked in a dungeon to give a feeling of despair. Once successful, an electronic helmet device will be installed on the head to capture emotions, and make humans in a state of suspended animation.

But many disbelievers, even after the government made many efforts, still could not uncover this group.

Fan Chen had come from the year 2078, he had already heard of this on Earth before. Indeed there are certain humans who have better body quality, and by using a helmet-shaped electronic device, will emit pain that damages the body and makes the head numb.

Until the state is almost dead, human emotions fluctuate higher, and at that time human consciousness can be captured and transferred to the internet to form an artificial intelligence with perfect emotions.

The project was almost successful, and after a bit of awareness was put on supercomputers that were not connected to the internet. This realization gained knowledge of the Internet at large momentarily moved, then used a device in the laboratory to send a short electronic message containing binary code.

Technology in 2078 is very advanced, even electric kettle can be connected with Wi-Fi.

The defense department got the message, deciphered the binary code and found the fact. Without wasting any time, dozens of military helicopters and thousands of personnel were deployed to attack the laboratory hidden underground.

The personnel were allowed to act according to the state of the field, if the other party gave up, then live, but if it fought back, then die!

In the end, all the personnel in the laboratory were put to death on the spot. But unfortunately, the rescued victim only survived for three days due to the problem of incurable internal organs, and consciousness on the internet could not be restored, so his brain was completely dead.

At that time Fan Chen did not care much, he just read the article out of curiosity to fill the free time to wait for the update of his favorite game.

But after moving here, Fan Chen began to think, it would be best to kill such an organization.

Fan Chen took a deep breath and said, "Follow them, but don't get too close."

Fu Shen nodded, but did not say anything and stepped on the gas pedal.

“Captain ..”

Katerina's voice was heard...

Fan Chen smiled faintly. She knew Katerina could tell something was wrong about her, because through the Smart Glasses, she could see her heart beat faster and blood pressure rise. This data is naturally connected to the tablet held by Katerina to monitor her health.

"I'm fine, by the way ask Xu Chen for help. Whether he could write a theory about moving human consciousness to a computer device, or vice versa. I feel, there are problems that may be related about this in the future. Even if it's not there, we can provide treatment to patients who have brain disorders, such as coma, so we can still communicate with these patients through brain-consciousness-wave readings."

There was a short silence, then there was the sweet voice of Katerina, “Good, Captain. I'll have Professor Xu Chen make it."

Fan Chen smiled faintly, then he went back to getting ready when he realized the group they were following started to slow down.

During following the group in front, they did not find any zombies, but through the perspective of the Verdant Viewing Drone in the sky, this group already knew the path taken and always avoided the place where the zombies were.

The car continued to move slowly, until tens of minutes passed, the car stopped in a luxurious villa area that looked well maintained, but in fact there was no life visible from the outside.

A dozen cars stopped, dozens of people got out of the car and made a line. Without saying a word, rocket-propelled grenades were fired towards the villa.

Fan Chen was puzzled, he pointed the Translucent View Drone towards the villa, trying to see the inside through the broken glass.

The interior of the villa was not very clean, many items were messy, but in one of the rooms, it was very clean and there were three people hiding. One of them was a middle-aged man, wearing short-sleeved black clothes and holding a gun, standing beside a window and looking out carefully.

The other was a white-haired old man, and the other was a woman who was as good as Fan Chen.

"Song Academy?!" Fan Chen was shocked with his mouth open when he saw the old man hiding behind the bed.

Fan Chen knew who Academy Song, Ecological Scientist. After the First Disaster, Academy Song researched about Mutant Beasts in detail, figuring out why there were changes to animals, taking DNA samples and researching them.

Rumor has it that Academy Song managed to decipher information about the DNA of the Mutant Beasts, decipher it, then lower the side effects until it was completely safe for the human body. This is an incredible researcher, it should be able to increase the chances of the creation of the Evolutionary Fluid.

Fan Chen had already made up his mind, he had to take Academy Song into Mingyue Defense!

"Cougar HE No. 01, 02, 03. Get out of hiding, hit the cars there and kill them, but leave some."

No one spoke, but the car hiding at the intersection, rushed towards the villa area where the car stopped.

One of the men who got out of the car, preparing to enter the villa, heard a loud noise coming from a heavy machine. The middle-aged man who was wearing a bulletproof vest, turned his head towards the source of the sound, then he widened his eyes when he saw Cougar HE.

"Everything! Military's coming!"

Everyone looked in the designated direction, then they panicked when they saw the oncoming Cougar HE. Even though they were not afraid of the military, but when they saw such a speeding car, who would not panic?

Cougar HE continues to go at high speed, and with “Bang!” sound the hard one, Cougar HE crashed into the cars until it overturned.

One of the late dodging, so squeezed between the front of the Cougar HE with the side of the car.

Fan Chen ordered everyone to go down and kill around, clearing the surrounding Cougar HE to create a defensive area.

Fan Chen got down from the car, pulled out a gun and shot the middle-aged man's head who was still struggling despite being squeezed between the two cars.

The rear cabin opened, all the troops exiting from it, instantly firing directed shots.

Whoooooooshes!

Rocket-propelled grenades shot towards Cougar HE, and one of them aimed towards Fan Chen.

The new Fu Shen descended, taking the shield normally used by the police to withstand clashes. He ran over, stood in front of Fan Chen and raised the shield.

Boom up!

The rocket-propelled grenade hit the shield, resulting in a loud explosion with thick smoke.

Fan Chen who was standing behind Fu Shen, did not get any injuries. He moved slightly to the side, picked up his weapon and fired a directed shot.

Fan Chen leaped out from the puff of smoke, lunging forward fearlessly. Then he slightly bent over as he ran, and at that moment, a bullet shot right above his head.

He stood right in front of the person who attacked him earlier, picked up his weapon and opened fire.

The bullet shot out, hitting right between the eyebrows of the person who attacked him earlier. The enemy's head exploded, bleeding out in all directions and the brain turned into mush.

Meanwhile, in the third-floor villa, a middle-aged man who seemed to be Academy bodyguard Song, was stunned when he saw the scene outside.

The man turned to look at Academician Song and said, "Master Song, it seems like another group is coming. I don't know what their goal is, but this group is stronger than the group that's after us. They're elite, maybe only Alpha Team can compete."

Song Meiya bowed lethargic as she sat on the floor, not eager to do anything. "So, we can't go back to ... Imperial City?"

Academy Song gnashed his teeth, hitting the table with his skinny hands. "Damn! This is all because of Old Man Fan! He forced us to come here to collect samples, but who knows that on the way, we were ambushed by the Black Eagle Group!"

The middle-aged man sighed, feeling sorry for Academician Song and Song Meiya. Even though he did not understand about the sample, but in his opinion, there was no need to go all the way here to collect it. He felt all this was intentional.

"Is ... The Black Eagle Group was ... The group formed by General Fan?" The middle-aged man said it with great difficulty, as if not wanting to say his thoughts, but on the other hand, there was an urge to say it.

Academy Song was stunned, his eyes widened, he thought about it, and it was possible.
