Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 047: Fifth level zombies?

The warehouse in Mingyue Defense was connected to the Inventory, so Fan Chen could take whatever items were there, and vice versa. That was why he could take out the Graphene Battery already produced without having to go back to Mingyue Defense. This function is very flexible because in war, he can take things that have been created. But there are still flaws, can not bring humans or other living things.

If it could bring in living beings, Fan Chen could move the manpower.

At this moment, Fan Chen stood up by folding his left hand in front of his chest and the other hand held a cup filled with iced coffee. He looked at the projector screen in front of him. "Although the drone can fly more than three hundred meters from ground level and remain stable from gusts of wind, it is still too low from the criteria sought. If the speed exceeds thirty kilometers per hour, the drone will not be stable and may lose its balance, then fall. There are still many things that need to be fixed to qualify."

Xu Lumin was still holding the tablet, he was using an engineering application, where it could simulate a drone that had been modified in the form of data. "Captain, the era of propellers must be abolished. We must enter the era of ion-launching machines, these are more powerful and stable than jet engines."

Fan Chen smiled faintly and retorted, "The country across the ocean has already developed an ion machine, but due to the wastefulness of the energy used, they are at a standoff. No breakthrough at all. The Graphene battery we have is still too small in terms of power storage, and the size is still too large, with a size of 16850."

The academic Song who had been silent from earlier, really did not know what to say. Even though he took up the field of Ecology, but he had often heard the results of the research of his colleagues, and the research of his colleagues was not able to develop what was developed by Mingyue Defense.

Academician Song looked again at the Evolution Fluid, he grasped it tightly. He was starting to be convinced, following Fan Chen to Mingyue Defense was the right decision, and perhaps he could realize his desire to create the Evolution Fluid of his own creation without any side effects.

Returning to the projector screen, the projector showed the perspective of several drones flying in the rear row and higher than the cargo drone.

Finally after six minutes of departure, the drone carrying the goods had arrived at a place that had been observed before. Zombies kept coming from all directions with limped steps, these zombies were walking neatly, as if called by something hiding within the building.

Fan Chen used a simple communication tool in his ear. "Dropping fuel."

The robot hand begins to function, the robot hand grip on the glass bottle weakens, making the glass bottle fall from a height.

When the glass bottle hit the stone, the glass bottle broke and the flammable material inside scattered about the stone, wood and zombies that were still standing still.

There were tremors in the building made of debris as reading bottles began to spread flammable liquids.

The drone caught no movement, then saw a red object wriggling out of the rubble, the red object was like a tentacle, but there was a thick red liquid dripping from time to time.

Fan Chen who saw this through the drone camera, was speechless and felt a little nauseous. "Drop it!"

The drone carrying a hand grenade began to act; it first descended closer than the target to keep the grenade from exploding in the sky. The robot hand pulls the safety after reaching the appropriate height, then drops the hand grenade from the sky.

Not only hand grenades, match-shaped grenades were also thrown from the sky.

Boom up! Boom up! Boom up!

Grenades exploded after a certain count, some exploded a few meters above ground level, and some exploded right on the zombie body as well as the ground.

Explosions produced from matches are stronger to fly or destroy the existing ruins.

The fire ignited, grabbing the previously doused fuel. The flames spread out instantly without any delay, surrounding the building in the middle and burning zombies.

The tentacle-like red object let out a snake-like hissing sound, then the zombie that was originally silent inside the fire, suddenly moved at a slow speed, the zombie tried to extinguish the flames that were burning its body.

But all that effort was in vain. The new zombie body was more flammable than a human, but as the zombie level increased, this kind of fire was no longer effective.

Through the Penetrating View Drone or Scanning Drone, they could see the red stripes that make up the structure of the human body. These red streaks began to disappear as the zombies had been completely killed, turned into ashes. But, there was a huge body structure hidden behind the ruins.

"Do you know what it is?" Fan Chen turned his head to look at Academician Song. According to Yun Mingyue, the Imperial City was often attacked by Mutant Beasts of various sizes, and perhaps Academician Song knew about what was behind what flames.

Academy Song shook his head. "I don't know, I've never seen a monster with this kind of structure. Perhaps, this is a new breed because of the Zombie Virus."

Bbszzz...

Suddenly, the image sent by the Penetrating View Drone was a little unclear.

"What's up?!" Fan Chen slightly shouted when he saw this.

"Captain! Detected by the powerful electromagnetic waves from the ruins, these waves were stronger than those produced by the Fourth level Mutant Beast."

Fan Chen was speechless, he lost the grip of his hand; the cup he was holding fell, smashing onto the ground and breaking into pieces. "Fifth Level!"

Signal interference only happened for a while, then showed the burning fire had completely disappeared. All the zombies had already been killed leaving nothing behind; the building in the middle made of ruins had already disappeared.

Everyone observing from afar was speechless; the body structure they observed, turned out to be a pile of red meat writhing like worms. The flesh was as tall as a two-story building, there were human heads that had already turned into zombies on all sides, there were at least hundreds of heads.

Wide mouth with sharp teeth visible on one side, his mouth is able to swallow Cougar HE once swallowed and felt can destroy it. Strange tentacles were seen writhing wildly, and a large tongue came out from its mouth, it also had a small mouth capable of crushing a human head.

Fan Chen felt an inexplicable bad premonition. He touched the communication device and said, "Down the drone, activate self-destruction! Make sure we're not found!"

The drone swooped sharply towards the strange zombie capable of releasing those electromagnetic waves, then the drone began to emit sparks, then exploded with a power greater than hand grenades.

Fan Chen looked at everyone. "Save all the equipment, get in the car and get back!"

Without wasting any time, everyone started to hurry. They took the items, put them in the car and removed all traces that could possibly be used as directions to find their whereabouts.

To fight zombies of this level, Fan Chen felt like he had to wait until he had the world's deadliest tanks and artillery. Even if necessary, it must have a missile to actually kill it in a single strike.

Fan Chen walked into Cougar HE No. 01, sitting in the front right seat beside the steering wheel. He's connecting the signal to Command Center. "I don't know if you can see it or not, but the speed of zombie evolution is faster than we thought. Now, the area observed must be wider, at least two kilometers from the headquarters to ensure safety."

“Sir, Yu'er saw it. Yu'er has already sent Brother's order. Then Mom intends to ask for help from the government, but Katerina still holds him. Katerina managed to convince Mom, but Sister had to go home to discuss with Mom.”

Fan Chen was silent. He felt that until the government found out the Mingyue Defense coordinates, everything would end badly. He took a deep breath, and said, "Report to Mom. The government has been taken over by the military, and General Fan is the leader."

After that, there was silence there, no reply.

Fan Chen could guess that his mother was there and listening, but this time was not the time to continue talking for reassurance. Right now he must leave this place as soon as possible.
