Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2013: Artillery Fire Clears the Way, Leaving Shanghai
He Ma and his team reported the location of the zombie horde to the artillery unit inside the car factory.

The artillery quickly began bombarding the horde of zombies.

Ding Meng and his team brought a considerable number of mortars this time. Mortars have a relatively short range, but that was enough for this battle.

Moreover, mortars are relatively small, easy to carry, and simple to move.

Mortar shells and heavy artillery shells ripped through the night sky, exploding continuously among the zombie horde.

The number of Nirvana Beings was already small, and the number of zombies they could control was also limited. These rounds of bombing killed many zombies.

Even under heavy fire, some zombies still survived and continued to approach the car factory.

Xiong Zhiyong distributed the nitroglycerin bombs to the other Nirvana survivors and quietly followed the other ordinary zombies closer to the car factory.

Boom!

Another shell exploded not far from Xiong Zhiyong, startling him so much that he quickly moved closer to a tall zombie nearby.

The firepower of those people in the oil city was too intense, scaring these Nirvana cultivators, who were lurking among the zombie horde, half to death.

Suddenly, a shell landed right in the blast radius of a Nirvana Being.

Boom!

The high temperature emitted by the shell triggered the nitroglycerin bomb in his hand, causing it to explode instantly.

Before the reborn one could react, he was consumed by the nitroglycerin bomb in his hand.

Rumble!
Second explosion.

Moreover, the explosive force was even greater than that of the falling artillery shells.

However, due to the constant explosions outside the car factory, this secondary explosion went unnoticed by the people of the oil city.

As time passed, it was five o'clock in the blink of an eye.

It will be dawn in half an hour.

The horde of zombies had already approached the walls of the car factory.

Atop a car factory and an office building.

The judge frowned slightly as he watched the horde of ordinary zombies approach.

He thought to himself: Could it be that Hu Tian has other wall-climbing zombies under his command?

That shouldn't be the case. According to the three Nirvana survivors who surrendered, the wave of wall-climbing zombies that appeared the day before yesterday was a number that Hu Tian had been accumulating for a long time.

Then why did Hu Tian still send ordinary zombies to charge over?
Ordinary zombies cannot scale the wall unless it is raining heavily, unless they can blow a hole in the wall.

Even if they blasted open a few gaps, they were able to quickly suppress them with firepower, forming small mountains of zombie corpses to block the gaps.

Unless Hu Tian manages to blow up most of the wall.

Thinking about this, he suddenly understood what Hu Tian wanted to do.

Hu Tian is capable of making explosives, so he must want to blow up the entire wall. Only then would it make sense for him to control ordinary zombies to attack the convoy.

This means that among the ordinary zombie horde, there must be hidden Nirvana Beings carrying explosives heading this way.

Scattered zombies had already reached the foot of the car factory wall.

Moreover, given the current level of firepower, it's inevitable that ordinary zombies will reach the walls.

"Ant, go and detonate the explosives that were previously placed outside the car factory's perimeter wall!" the judge said quickly, picking up the walkie-talkie.

The ant asked in confusion, "Huh? Now? Aren't we supposed to detonate it tomorrow when we leave?"

They originally planned to use it during the first wave of zombie attacks, but at that time they suppressed the zombies with firepower and used the zombie corpses to block the gap, so they were unable to use it.

The plan was to use it to kill a large number of zombies when leaving the next day and then escape.

But now it's going to be detonated before dawn, which doesn't fit the original plan.

The judge quickly explained:
"If we don't detonate it soon, these Reborn zombies will blow up our walls! Hurry!"

"Okay, okay." The ant didn't ask any more questions.

They quickly got out of the car and prepared to detonate the explosives outside the car factory.

These explosives were planted along the main roads of the park.

Ants and jackals are both explosives experts. The locations they bury are difficult to detect, and they have precisely calculated the distance so that the blast radius will not affect the area beyond the car factory wall.

Almost all the explosives they brought were used here.

According to Ant's calculations, once detonated, it could kill all zombies within a one-kilometer radius of the car factory.

"Judge, shall we blow it up now?" the ant asked over the walkie-talkie after preparing the explosives.

"Yes, now, immediately!" the judge shouted as the horde of ordinary zombies drew ever closer to the wall.

"it is good."

Simultaneously, the artillery also ceased firing.

The area outside the car factory suddenly became much quieter, with only the roars and screams of zombies remaining.

Xiong Zhiyong, amidst the horde of zombies, breathed a sigh of relief. "After bombing for so long, it seems the people of the oil city have run out of ammunition!"

So he lowered his head and emitted sound waves, causing the surrounding zombies to rush towards the wall at top speed.

Looking at the wall, which was less than 30 meters away, he tightly gripped a black package he was carrying.

The package contained nitroglycerin bombs.

It was very heavy, at least forty kilograms, but for someone like him who had achieved Nirvana, it was easy to lift.

After crossing another street, the car factory's perimeter wall is right across the street.

There is a fixed trash can at the street intersection.

Xiong Zhiyong was less than three meters from the trash can as he followed the horde of zombies across the street.

Suddenly, the trash can exploded.

No, it wasn't just the trash cans that exploded.

The surrounding ground, buildings, and wrecked vehicles exploded almost simultaneously.

The sound of the explosives exploding was like a thunderclap, shaking the ground.

Boom, boom, boom!
Points form lines, and lines form surfaces.

Flames shot out, and the ground within a radius of one kilometer surged up.

The terrifying power of the explosives devoured the surrounding zombies.

"I... Ah~~"

The trash can next to Xiong Zhiyong exploded, and flames engulfed him.

The black package in his hand was impacted and torn apart, and the high temperature ignited the nitroglycerin explosives inside.

Explodes again.

At that moment, the Nirvana Beings who were tasked with breaching the wall were almost all within a kilometer radius.

All the nitroglycerin explosives in their hands were detonated.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

The explosives that the ants had planted had just detonated, and some zombies were still flying in the air.

The nitroglycerin explosives exploded again.

Rumble!
The second explosion occurred very briefly after the first one, so it appears to have happened simultaneously.

This resulted in an explosion of immense power.

Black smoke and dust filled the air.

All the zombies within a kilometer of the car factory, and even those covering a wider area, were killed by the explosion.

This side of the car factory's perimeter wall.

Zombies and debris from the explosions slammed into the walls.

Clap clap clap!

The pebbles on the ground were deeply embedded in the wall. Fortunately, the wall provided a barrier; otherwise, if these pebbles had been sent flying into the car factory, they would have certainly hit the combat personnel inside.

Some of the explosive debris even flew over the wall and into the car factory.

Snapped!
A zombie's arm landed in front of an armored vehicle.

Xiao Jun stared at the arm on the ground, his cheek twitching, and asked the ants beside him:
"Instructor Ant, did you plant the explosives too close together? And how come they're so powerful?!"

The ant, not expecting such a powerful explosion, frowned and replied:
"I don't know either, but the judge just said that it seems the Nirvana Ones might have brought explosives with them. I heard the sound of the explosion just now, so it should be real."

"There was indeed a second explosion just now." Upon hearing this, Xiao Jun pondered for a moment and nodded.

"That's quite possible, otherwise Hu Tian wouldn't have launched a second zombie attack. But he didn't expect us to have planted explosives in advance."

"This time, it's estimated that quite a few Nirvana cultivators were killed."

This was an explosion that achieved an unprecedented effect.

Because Hu Tian was anxious, he urged the Nirvana Ones to blow up the wall as soon as possible, so he did not follow the ordinary zombies to the wall in batches to blow it up as he did last time.

Zombies are not intelligent, so they won't plant explosives; only a Nirvana Being can do that.

If things were like before, the Nirvana cultivators could follow far behind the zombie horde without having to run to the front, making them extremely unlikely to be blown up or shot.

but.

This wave resulted in the loss of half of Hu Tian's Nirvana warriors.

The third floor of an office building, three kilometers away from the car factory.

Hu Tian witnessed all of this, staring blankly at the billowing black smoke before him.

My heart is ice-cold.

"Chief, we've lost contact with Xiong Zhiyong. They're probably all dead!"

"Chief, what should we do now? The wall still hasn't been breached. Should we still lead the zombie army over?"

"Chief, our forces have dwindled drastically; we can no longer control so many zombies."

The words of his subordinates, Nirvana cultivators, kept coming through the walkie-talkie, which made Hu Tian even more annoyed.

He was unwilling to give up at this point.

But if he continued, he knew he couldn't do anything to those people inside.

With the explosives gone, most of the Nirvana Warriors were killed or wounded, and the number of zombies they could control was halved. Dawn was approaching.

His most loyal subordinate, Xiong Zhiyong, also died.

These sudden events were hard for him to accept.

"Continue the siege! Even if we can't get inside, we can't let them leave!"

Hu Tian was still unwilling to let these people from the oil city leave. Although he couldn't do anything about the people inside now, he figured he could outlast them if he could keep them trapped in M ​​City.

He needs the zombie antidote they have.

We also want to teach the people of the oil city a lesson!
Let me tell the people of the oil city one thing: M is all my territory, don't mess with me!
Upon hearing Hu Tian's order, the remaining Nirvana beings had no choice but to control their zombies and continue heading towards the car factory.

However, they didn't follow the zombie horde; instead, they lagged far behind.

They either hide inside buildings or control zombies from the edge of a horde.

the other side.

The rooftop of the office building.

The judge witnessed two explosions outside, which confirmed his suspicions.

But to his surprise, Hu Tian ordered the remaining zombies to continue their attack.

Damn it, he's like a piece of chewing gum, I can't shake him off no matter what I do.

sizzle-

Zhu Xiao's voice came through the walkie-talkie:

"Instructor, should we continue shooting and bombarding the zombies?"

"The zombies are about to reach the walls."

The judge hesitated for a moment before replying, "No need."

He glanced at his watch; it was already 5:10. Dawn would break in another twenty or thirty minutes.

"Everyone, get ready. We're leaving the car factory in twenty minutes! We're heading back to the oil city!"

"Okay, instructor."

They've been stalling with Hu Tian here for several days now.

The Nirvana Warriors suffered heavy losses, and Hu Tian's control over the zombies was reduced by more than half. They still had enough ammunition, making it a good time to leave.

Dragging this out will be detrimental to them.

soon.

Zombies surrounded the wall. Many zombies poured into the gap that had been opened by the explosion, but they were suppressed by the zombies' firepower and the gap was blocked in the same way.

Meanwhile, they quickly loaded the mortars onto the vehicles and made preparations for departure.

As for the equipment inside the car manufacturing plant, it had already been installed on the vehicles long ago.

Most of the scavengers in the crowd looked excited.

"Damn, we're finally going back to the oil city. These past few days have felt like years."

"Yeah, that was so exciting! I never thought we'd survive fighting hordes of zombies in a place like M City!"

Some people said with a wry smile, "I'm completely broke."

"Come on, you've already escaped death, what's there to say? Besides, when you go back this time, people like you who got bitten will definitely get extra points as a reward."

"Hehe, you know what, we think the rewards we'll get when we get back this time will be higher than we originally expected. After all, we've been fighting alongside those officials from the oil city."

"Stop arguing and hurry up and check the vehicle. If there's a problem with the car on the road, you're all doomed."

This mission was extremely shocking for the scavengers.

It was a close call; although someone was bitten, they ultimately survived.

At the same time, this was also the first time for the camphor tree forces to cooperate with civilian teams to fight enemies outside.

This operation can provide a reference and model for Dazhangshu's future external actions.

After all, the country is so big, and the total number of combat personnel in the Great Camphor Tree faction is only a little over 10,000.

However, the total population of the Great Camphor Tree faction is five to six hundred thousand.

Many of the survivors were capable of fighting.

If the camphor tree wants to do something at that time, it can recruit a large number of survivors to assist in the fighting, and provide them with guns and ammunition for free, which will be returned after the battle.

Points are awarded based on the scale and difficulty of the battle.

We don't need to support these people normally, which reduces costs.

5:35.

As dawn broke, a ray of sunlight shone on the wall of the car factory.

Everyone inside the car factory was ready and the departure order of the vehicles had been adjusted.

"Take off!" The judge, seated atop a perpetual helicopter, picked up the walkie-talkie and issued the order:
"Cannon, you go first and clear a path."

"Ding Meng, Xiao Jun, you lead the combat team to follow behind the behemoth and clear out the zombies ahead."

"Zhu Xiao, Li Qi, you lead the transport escort team and follow closely behind the convoy."

“Dai Jiusheng, Chen Er, you militia are responsible for the zombie hordes coming from the flanks of the two houses.”

"Yang Tianlong, you will lead a combat battalion to cover the rear."

"He Ma, you're in charge of providing support from the air."

One order after another was issued to the relevant responsible persons in an orderly manner.

Six sustainable helicopters slowly took off, and five of them did not leave after taking off.

One of the sustainable helicopters took off and immediately flew towards the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

The jackals and ants on the helicopter were responsible for escorting the three surrendered Nirvana cultivators back to headquarters as quickly as possible. They were to take these Nirvana cultivators back to develop the delay-reduction drug.

Otherwise, these three Nirvana beings wouldn't have lasted 48 hours.

Boom boom boom!
The behemoth activated its charge mode, and after accelerating, it smashed through the zombie mountain. Due to its enormous size, the walls on both sides were also knocked down.

The road surface outside was full of potholes because it had been blasted with explosives.

But the massive tires, nearly three meters tall, can ignore these potholes and bumps.

Instead, it crushed the zombies outside under the tires, turning them into stepping stones for the pits.

Fill in these potholes.

Armored vehicles followed closely behind.
