Apocalypse: The Stronghold System

Chapter 091: 30 Days of Second Disaster: Zombie Evolution

—Wednesday, 03 March 2027—

Fan Chen lay listlessly on the roof, looking at the white sky that dropped countless snowflakes until it stockpiled half of his body.

Though he had already planned to attack the Zombie Kingdom, but the day before the departure plan, a cold wind came from the northwest, carrying a black cloud that dropped snow.

"How will our rocket launch be?" Fan Chen looked at the sky, then he remembered there was an Anti-Gravity Motherfather flying above the clouds. "Use a plasma weapon to split the clouds, then launch the rocket!"

Fan Chen tried to get up, but he realized that his body was completely buried in snow to the point of being unable to move. He sighed, then with a slight tremor, the snow that was stockpiling him exploded into water dots that shot out in all directions.

He stood up after the pile of snow that was hoarding him disappeared, he was surrounded by a lightning sting that made the surrounding air distort and the falling snow instantly evaporate before hitting it.

Fan Chen leaped down from the roof of the two-story house, then landed on the pile of snow below.

"I don't know how the Main Project is doing, whether or not the hole there is snow. There was no rain before, so our excavation went smoothly because there was no water coming in."

Fan Chen stepped out of the Main Headquarters, but he suddenly stopped when there was a system prompt appearing in his vision.

[System Indicator: Not felt like 30 Second Disaster Start: Zombies. Day by day more and more humans fall and turn into zombies, bite other humans, transmit viruses to animals ..]

[Ranging from today to the next 7 days, zombie activity will increase and their evolutionary abilities are accelerated by as much as 50%. Mutant beasts began to face threats, but not from humans, but rather from growing zombies. Mutant beasts in the oceans would rise to the mainland, participating in the power struggle on Earth!]

Fan Chen was silent for a moment, then he dashed towards the east to see the situation out there.

As he passed by the Shop, he heard a shout from the third floor:

"Chen! Where are you going?"

Fan Chen stopped and looked up to the right looking at his mother who was partying barbeque with Team Alpha. "To the front! I caught a strange move, and Xiaochu detected a change in the zombies! Maybe tonight until the next seven days, our place won't be quiet!"

Without waiting for the reaction of those on the third floor of the Shop, Fan Chen immediately rushed away leaving the Alpha Team with a puzzled expression.

Yun Mingyue was silent for a while, then she jumped off the third floor and shot out at high speed like the HK-80KAH-EP Armor, but she was not wearing any armor, she said, but rather a thin iron alloy behind her controlled clothes with Magnet Element Ability.

Fan Chen climbed up the wall, he looked at the sea of snow in front of him.

“Master, Xiaochu did detect any oddities in these zombies, but Xiaochu had not told him yet, why could Master know about it?”

"Intuition."

“So. Should Xiaochu take action?”

"Yes!" Fan Chen did not wait long to answer. "Tell General Luo, point the Railgun at the Zombie Kingdom and destroy them."

Yun Mingyue landed beside Fan Chen. "What's really going on?"

Fan Chen paused for a moment, then replied, "It's just speculation, but it looks like the zombie virus is evolving and strengthening, resulting in the evolution of zombies accelerating. Moreover, I forgot about the Zombie Kingdom and did not rush to destroy it. Then, it seems like there is a change in the ocean."

“Captain! Railgun's been redirected to the Zombie Kingdom. Mothership awaits your command.”

Suddenly a hologram appeared in front of him, revealing General Luo and the Zombie Kingdom, as well as the Railgun that had already locked onto the target.

The distance is only 20 kilometers, and with a speed of Mach 8 it will hit the target less than nine seconds.

"Launch."

General Luo nodded, he pressed the button and said, "Launch!"

It didn't take long, the black clouds in the northeast of Mingyue Defense split in two, revealing sunlight that shone down on the earth. Then, there was the sound of booming bang in the sky, then there was a giant mushroom formed 20 kilometers to the northeast.

The Zombie Kingdom was destroyed, the zombies surrounding the building made of rubble, crashing with incomplete bodies. The snow piles disappeared and were replaced by solid rocky ground, there was a blackish green blood flowing forming a small river.

The building in the middle was already destroyed, and the tentacle-shaped zombies were no longer there.

[System Hints: Successfully Killed a Level 105 Mutant Zombie. +2.100 Coin System, +1.050 Points]

Just as the Level 105 Mutant Zombie was successfully killed, the movement of the zombies rushing into Mingyue Defense slowed down for a moment, but then came back running as before.

"What's this?" Fan Chen frowned. "Is it because their boss was killed, they are no longer controlled and move with instinct?"

“Captain, after we destroy the Zombie Kingdom, there is a movement within the Shizi Yang River. Now we point weapons there and ready to destroy anything that goes up to the mainland.”

Fan Chen nodded his head when he heard General Luo's report. "You don't need to ask for any more permission about this, take out all the mutant beasts as well as zombies that approach Mingyue Defense within a 30 kilometer radius."

"For mutant beasts that exist in the oceans, especially in the Pacific Ocean and the Mariana Trench, it is allowed to act using the Plasma Cannon!"

“Good, Captain!” General Luo saluted the military, then the hologram floating in the air disappeared.

Fan Chen turned his head to the right when he heard the sound of a moving machine, he saw there was an automatic machine gun moving at a speed of 120 km/h following the rails attached above the wall.

Then the GAU-19 automatic machine gun fired a bullet precisely on target.

Now, there are 10 GAU-19 guarding the east, but in fact there are 18 GAU-19 (9 GAU-19 :9 GAU-19). In the Industrial Area there are also 18 GAU-19, and the Nuclear Fusion Region has 20 GAU 19 that rotates following a circular rail. Not with the GAU-19 in Mingyue Defense, which will reverse course after reaching the edge of the cliff or the gate border.

With 56 units of GAU-19, Fan Chen had to prepare 5,600,000 ammo, and it cost ¥2.8 Billion!

But fortunately it now has a Conventional and Laser Weapons Factory, there is a production line for ammunition, and arguably this factory is the largest factory in the Industrial Area. Although in terms of the same building, but has many underground floors.

If it continues to rely on it to buy, as much as it has, this money will not be enough to fill wasted ammunition. Moreover, to pay the people here, however, all the resources included in the Shop, bought it from the Stronghold Shop using Yuan(¥).

Chu Baiyin climbed up the stairs following Yun Mingyue, she saw a terrifying scene before her. "A lot of zombies, this is terrible."

Then looking at the GAU-19 that was shooting automatically and each shot would kill zombies without wasting any ammunition, he realized that the defense level of Mingyue Defense was incredible. Soldiers here are only for expeditions or security inside.

"How much money for all this?"

Fan Chen looked back at Chu Baiyin. "Aunt Chu, don't ask that, it's very painful. Every ammunition is a power source." He squeezed his chest and showed a sad expression.

"G ..." Chu Baiyin opened her mouth and nodded. "It seems that I hit the most painful point, even in the Imperial City greatly saving ammunition, but here it is a waste."

Fan Chen raised his hand to signal, then he swung it forward.

Suddenly, the Laser Tower mounted on the top of the cliff started to light up, it unleashed a shot of white light with a diameter of one meter.

The reach of the Laser Tower is quite wide, capable of covering all areas within a radius of 2,000 meters, which means it will shoot zombies that are only 1,100 meters away from Mingyue Defense.

Every time the laser beam shot, the zombies that were passed by would instantly evaporate along with the snow, even the rocky ground until it melted.

“Master, in Guangdong Province detected there are 25 Fifth-level Mutant Zombies and continue to grow every time, now the General continues to direct Railgun fire to each of these zombies.”

Fan Chen massaged his forehead, he had not expected it to only take a matter of minutes for the increase in the number of Level 100 Mutant Zombies. If this continued, perhaps in Guandong, only Mingyue Defense would have made it through this disaster.
