Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2059 Shock! The Giant Meteorite from Outer Space Has Shrank?!
Locate, aim, fire.

Whoosh~
Two rockets were fired, hitting the several Vajra zombies below.

Boom boom boom!

The few Vajra zombies didn't even have time to react before they were bombarded by rockets.

Flames were everywhere, and after the smoke cleared, the ground was littered with silvery-white corpses lying haphazardly.

Rockets have a penetrating power more than ten times that of ordinary bullets.

Given the power of the rocket, if an ordinary zombie were hit, it would be almost completely obliterated, leaving at most a little bit of minced meat.

However, these Vajra zombies below still retain relatively intact limbs.

But without exception, all of these Vajra zombies were killed by rockets.

The helicopter descended, surveyed the corpses on the ground, and then the judge gave instructions:

"Song Qi, you all remain on alert in the air and defend the surrounding area."

"Old Qin, bring the helicopter down."

buzzing-

As the helicopter landed, its rotors sent the surrounding dry grass flying everywhere.

After the helicopter landed completely, the judge came out with the jackal, the nut, and the ant.

They put on gloves, laid a pre-prepared plastic sheet on the ground, and then used tongs to place the dismembered limbs and pierced zombie heads from the ground onto the plastic sheet.

They acted quickly, packing the remains and debris on the ground onto a plastic sheet in just a few minutes.

Then they lifted the plastic sheet and placed it into the box that was originally intended to contain the zombies.

Cover it.

The nut and the ant tried to lift it up, but found they couldn't lift it at all.

"Holy crap, it's so heavy!" the ant exclaimed in surprise.

"Go and help," the judge shouted to the jackal.

They carried the guns on their backs, and the four of them together lifted the box, barely managing to get it up.

But after taking two steps, I was exhausted.

It's really too heavy.

They just killed four King Kong zombies, and some of the smaller limbs from the explosion weren't even collected.

The judges were all strong men, and they could easily carry two or three hundred pounds of things.

Four people can lift at least 800 kilograms.

But these body fragments definitely weigh more than 800 pounds.

Helpless, the judge had no choice but to let the two experts brought in from the helicopter and Lao Qin come down to help.

Seven people worked together, their veins bulging, gritting their teeth, lifting for a while and then stopping, until they finally got the box onto the helicopter.

There were seven people, five of whom were top-notch special forces soldiers, with exceptional strength and skills.

Even so, it was still so difficult for the seven of them to lift this box.

The ant, panting heavily, said:
"This thing definitely weighs over 1500 pounds, the box is at most a hundred pounds, and the plastic sheet is practically weightless. It's so difficult for seven of us to lift it! This is outrageous!"

Nuts nodded in agreement and said:
"I discovered this when I tried to use the clamps to grab the zombie's thigh. I couldn't grab it with the clamps at all; I could only lift it up with my hands."

The judge stood up and closed the cabin door.

He urged, "Hurry up and secure the box. We can't stay here any longer. Lao Qin, go to the cockpit and prepare for takeoff."

After catching their breath, everyone realized that it was not safe for the helicopter to remain on the ground, so they quickly got up and got to work.

A few minutes later, the helicopter rotors spun, and the helicopter returned to the sky.

The ant, sitting in the cabin, wiped away its sweat and looked at the two researchers sitting opposite it.

asked:

"Why is this zombie so heavy?"

Zhao Ke was also panting heavily. He adjusted his glasses and said:

"DI element itself has a relatively high mass. This kind of Vajra zombie may have a lot of DI element in its body, so it has a relatively high mass."

Ant curled his lip, "Damn, these zombies' skin is like it's made of steel, it's incredibly tough!"

Zhao Ke has been studying zombies for many years, starting back when he was at Oriental Paradise. He has a deep understanding of zombies.

But this time, coming with the judge and the others has broadened my horizons.

He encountered a large number of zombie species he had never seen before, and he never imagined that zombies would attack their own kind.

However, if these Vajra zombie corpses are refined, they might have the potential to be made into weapons.

Next, the judges continued their search for survivors over the Philippines.

However, after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find it. With noon fast approaching, they had no choice but to embark on their journey back to the headquarters base in Dazhangshu.

They returned following the same route they had taken on land last time.

It flew over northern Philippines, crossed the island of Taiwan, and traversed the Wuyi Mountains.
Upon arriving over the coastal area of ​​Fujian Province, they saw large numbers of zombies emerging from the inland and heading towards the ocean.

This also explains why, in recent days, both transport convoys and patrol teams around various bases have seen fewer zombies than before.

Large numbers of zombies ran towards the ocean.

19: 00.

As the sun set, they arrived above the headquarters base of the Big Camphor Tree.

After receiving permission from the control tower, they landed the helicopter in the second outer city.

The investigation lasted for several days, and when they finally landed on the ground in the city of Dazhangshu, their tense nerves finally relaxed.

After the judges returned, Second Uncle, Eldest Uncle, Ma Di, Bai Jie, and others immediately asked them to report on their mission.

The judges, carrying the video and photographic materials they had taken, followed Bai Jie toward the First Outer City Administrative Building.

"Where is the city lord? I haven't seen him." The judge asked his uncle in a low voice.

The eldest uncle replied, "He just went out today; he went to inspect several other branch bases."

"Oh, oh," the judge said knowingly.

Upon entering the conference room, the judge discovered that there were quite a few people inside.

Old Yi, Old Bi, Old Xie, and several others from the Operations Department were present, along with Ma Di from the Zombie Research Department, Song Zhihong from the Natural Disaster Research Department, and even He Bing from the Military Industry Department.

Li Hang was adjusting the radio station placed in the center of the conference table in the conference room.

A moment later, my second uncle also arrived at the conference room.

Li Yu is not at the headquarters today, but the central position remains empty.

My second uncle was sitting in the first row on the left.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, he looked at Li Hang and asked:
"Li Hang, has the city lord made contact with Minister Li?"

Li Hang quickly replied:
"Minister Li is ready, but the city lord will probably be a few minutes away from arriving."

"Okay, then let's wait a few more minutes until the city lord arrives, then we'll listen together," Second Uncle replied. Meanwhile, the judge instructed Ant to transfer the previously captured video and photo data to the projector computer, preparing to play it during the report later.

"You two can report back later; you'll know more about it," the judge whispered to the two experts sitting beside him.

Zhao Ke, the vice president of the Zombie Research Institute, and Gao Le, the researcher of the Natural Disaster Research Institute, quickly nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

The information captured this time, along with the understanding of the situation in the waters off Palau, will surely surprise the city lord and his comrades.

north.

Li Yu, who had just arrived here from the headquarters for an inspection, hurried towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Tie, who was standing next to him, said:
“My dad and second uncle are all ready and waiting for you to arrive so the meeting can begin.”

"Hmm." Li Yu felt a surge of excitement. The meteorite in the waters off Palau had always been a problem they hadn't been able to solve.

Soon, Li Yu arrived, along with several high-ranking officials from the Northern Territory in the conference room.

Lü Cheng, Li Haoran, Ah Hong, and several others were present.

Camphor Tree Base.

Li Hang looked up, turned on the radio to public broadcast mode, and nodded to his second uncle and eldest uncle above him.

The second uncle spoke up, "City Lord, can you hear me?"

"sure, no problem."

Where is Minister Li?

"I can hear it."

"Then I'll get right to their reports."

"it is good."

"OK."

The second uncle looked at the judge, who then asked the two experts to go up and give their reports.

Gao Le and Zhao Ke got up and walked to the projector.

One person operates the computer while the other provides explanations.

Zhao Ke walked to the right side of the projector and played an aerial view of the Palau sea area.

Everyone in the conference room turned their attention to the picture.

In the picture, there is a blue sky and white clouds, an island in the sea, and countless zombies and zombie animals on the sea surface.

Zhao Ke's first words shocked everyone.

"The giant meteorite that crashed in the waters off Palau is getting smaller!"

Maddie was startled, his eyes widening in disbelief as he exclaimed, "What!"

The others in the conference room were equally shocked. The news that the meteorite was shrinking was like a bombshell dropped into a lake, creating huge waves.

That was a meteorite several kilometers long from outer space.

It actually gets smaller.

Previously, the Zombie Research Institute and the Natural Disaster Research Institute had reached a conclusion:
The source of these ongoing natural disasters and zombie outbreaks lies on this extraterrestrial meteorite.

Meteorites from outer space have impacted the global ecosystem, and the DI element in these meteorites is one of the factors that causes humans to turn into zombies.

The element DI spreads globally through the water cycle, making zombies stronger during rainfall.

But now Zhao Ke tells them that the meteorite from outer space is getting smaller.

Not only were the second uncle and his group in the conference room shocked, but Li Yu from the Northern Territory and the third uncle from the Oil City were also stunned.

Second Uncle stared intently at Zhao Ke and said in a deep voice:

"Are you sure?"

Zhao Ke nodded firmly and said to everyone:

"I am sure!"

"Upon reaching the airspace above the waters off Palau, the instructors used sonar equipment for detection. Through the seabed map formed by the reflection of sound waves, we were able to calculate that this meteorite was a full one-fifth smaller than the meteorite reported in the news eight years ago!"

Before the apocalypse, the meteorite that fell in the Pacific Ocean off Palau made headlines.

But it was quickly taken down.

However, the news report clearly stated the size of the meteorite.

They even used various technical means to detect the shape of that extraterrestrial meteorite.

The judges and their team carried the sonar equipment they had previously used on the warship in NT City with them when they traveled to the waters off Palau.

This time, sonar equipment was used to conduct detection over the area where the meteorite fell into the sea.

Sonar transmits sound waves to detect their interaction with seabed materials and obtain information about the seabed.

Specifically, a sonar device emits a sound pulse, which is then reflected by seabed material. The time it takes for the reflected signal to return is calculated to determine the depth of the seabed and the location of the target object. Sonar's applications extend beyond measuring water depth; it can also be used to create topographic maps of the seabed.

among them.

The physical properties of seabed sediments, such as density, particle size, and porosity, directly affect the propagation path and reflection intensity of sound waves.

When sound waves are emitted from the water surface to the seabed, their interaction with seabed sediments produces different reflection, refraction, or attenuation phenomena, thus forming an "acoustic picture".

The camera in the audience then switched to a scene showing the shape of the ocean floor:
Gao Le then switched to the next page, which showed the meteorite from outer space before the apocalypse, and on the right side was the image of the meteorite detected by the latest judges using sonar equipment.

By comparing the two images, it is clear that this meteorite has shrunk considerably.

Zhao Ke's eyes gleamed as he continued:

"The fact that this meteorite has shrunk proves that our previous hypothesis was correct:"
The meteorite from outer space was the culprit behind a series of natural disasters in the apocalypse!

"If this meteorite continues to react in the seawater, it is very likely to dissolve completely!"

Everyone had different expressions.

My second uncle was quite excited, staring intently at the picture on the PPT.

They had long suspected that meteorites could influence natural disasters; as long as that meteorite remained, the natural disasters would continue.

They also wanted to retrieve the meteorite, but it was located thousands of meters deep in the sea off Palau.

Even before the apocalypse, it was impossible to retrieve such a massive object from the deep sea.
Not to mention now.

However, Zhao Ke now claims that the meteorite is reacting with seawater and is dissolving.

In that case, they won't have to retrieve the meteorite!

Eight years ago, a meteorite fell into the ocean. If the meteorite had reacted with the seawater from the beginning, one-fifth of it would have dissolved in eight years.

Under normal circumstances, it might take 40 years for that meteorite to completely dissolve.

Of course, the rate at which a meteorite dissolves may increase or decrease.

Nobody can say for sure.

In any case, the news that the meteorite reacted with seawater is good news, because there's no need to retrieve it anymore.

However, this is also bad news, because the complete dissolution of the meteorite could cause a huge and unpredictable natural disaster.
