Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2070 Close-In Weapon Land Shield - 3000, Restore Train Transportation!
Due to the impact of a meteorite in the waters off Palau, zombies worldwide have receded into the ocean.

Survivors around the world who have managed to stay alive are emerging from their shelters, frantically gathering supplies and equipment to build even stronger fortresses.

Japan.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, a massive flood submerged 80 percent of Japan's territory, and 90 percent of its population perished in the flood.

The subsequent zombie outbreak further reduced the remaining population of tens of millions to around one million.

Eight years later, the population of one million has been reduced to less than one hundred thousand again due to various natural disasters and zombies.

The remaining 100,000 people are mainly from the Kanto Mountains area of ​​Honshu Island.

Of the remaining 100,000 people, half lived a meager existence in various parts of Honshu.

The other half joined the forces of a fortified castle on Mount Fuji.

This faction is located in the underground city of Mount Fuji, which was built before the apocalypse.

Japan has a large population and limited land, and because it is located near the Pacific Ring of Fire, it suffers from earthquakes all year round.

Coupled with rising sea levels due to global warming and the fact that most of Japan's land is low-lying, they have an extremely strong sense of crisis.

Furthermore, having been bombed by nuclear weapons many years ago, they were extremely keen on building underground fortresses before the apocalypse.

The Mount Fuji Fortress is the largest and most fortified of these fortresses.

The entire underground fortress extends hundreds of meters underground. They have rebuilt a sophisticated industrial chain underground and have spent most of their time living underground, only occasionally emerging from the ground to search for supplies.

In recent days, zombies on land have been heading to the ocean, and they've also emerged from underground.
India.

In the early stages of the zombie outbreak, due to the dense population, the zombie virus spread widely, and the area was completely overrun in just a few days.

Of the survivors, most were killed or wounded in a class conflict between high and low castes.

Even in the end times, class divisions did not end, and they fought each other for two years.

Until one day, a mystic rose up, claiming that "the zombie virus is Shiva's third eye."

Religious fervor was used to mediate the conflict and attract a large number of followers.

However, the zombie population in India was too dense, making survival extremely difficult for them.

If they couldn't beat them, they joined in; they disguised themselves as zombies and traveled with them.

In an attempt to break the cycle of reincarnation, they engaged in various illicit experiments with zombies, eventually finding a way to have sex, which resulted in the birth of a half-human, half-zombie baby.

Half-human, half-zombie beings are unaffected by zombies and can move freely among them.

These half-human, half-zombie babies grow extremely fast.

One year for these half-human, half-corpse creatures is equivalent to ten years for an ordinary human, but their lifespan is only one-tenth that of a human.

Because of the existence of these half-human, half-zombie beings, who help gather resources in the zombie world, this mystical force has grown significantly.

After making this progress in zombie virus research, the organization became even bolder.

They worshipped Shiva and, based on Shiva's image, stitched human corpses with animal limbs.

This created a super stitched-together zombie.

Before stitching, they would first install a brain control technology in the human brain and then control this super stitched zombie through the brain control technology.

By feeding large numbers of zombie corpses, these three-headed, six-armed zombies grew stronger and became one of the organization's most powerful fighting forces.

These stitched-together zombies are called "Shiva's Messenger" by them.

Furthermore, changes are taking place in countries around the world.

These eight years of the apocalypse have been a global reshuffling.

Some countries have become completely overrun by zombies, with zombies roaming the entire country. Even when the zombie tide recedes, humans are rarely seen.

Some factions, after struggling to survive and achieving some stability, developed zombie technology by utilizing zombies.

However, these forces are currently confined to one country.

The impact of the apocalypse is too great. Too many people have died, and there are many empty territories. They do not yet have enough power to occupy the entire territory of a country.

Moreover, before the zombie tide receded, the threat posed by the zombies was immense, which constantly suppressed their development.

This retreat of the zombie horde has bought them valuable time to develop.

Oriental Paradise.

After spending a week in the oil city, Li Yu arrived here in a sustainable helicopter.

The entire camphor tree region has been in a frenzy this past week.

They frantically gathered resources, built structures, and transported supplies.
It continues day and night.

Even the Oriental Paradise is undergoing renovations day and night.

In just one week, they collected a massive amount of supplies and equipment, enriching the foundation of the camphor tree and laying the groundwork in various fields to restore industrial productivity.

It was a celebration for the workers in the base and the scavengers who went out to collect recyclables, because the rewards given to them by the camphor tree forces were also enormous.

For the workers, it meant double wages.

This is especially exciting for scavengers, as they can earn a large number of points in a very short time, and it's safe because there aren't many zombies on land.

They never dared to dream of such a good thing before.

The massive search operation is in full swing.

During this week, the car factory worked at full capacity, 24 hours a day, and the electric trucks produced each day were immediately fully charged and dispatched for use as soon as they rolled off the production line.

Three years later, Li Yu returned to Oriental Paradise and stood on the roof of the central building, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

It seems that not much has changed here, but it also seems that the changes are enormous.

Most of the buildings here still retain the architecture from the Tiger King's reign, except for the addition of smart mobile sluice gates, ultraviolet light arrays, several large wells, and trading stalls in the central area.

The trading stalls in this place were mainly established by Chen Er and his group.

They set up supplies such as grain, salt, oil, sugar, medicine, and daily necessities transported from the oil city here and exchanged them with the residents.

Not far from the entrance of Oriental Paradise, there is a recycling station.

After the survivors bring back the supplies, they will be inspected by professional appraisers, who will then award them corresponding points.

The materials and equipment that have been appraised will be stored in a corner of the recycling station and hoarded in categories.

Once the convoy from the oil city has delivered the daily necessities, the collected supplies and equipment will be loaded onto trucks and taken back to the oil city.

Oil City served as a super transit point for the forces of the Great Camphor Tree.

Whether heading to the North, the Eastern Paradise, or the Northwest, or the Headquarters Base,

All supplies to these bases must pass through the oil city.

Therefore, a large part of the buffer zone of the oil city is used as a logistics distribution center.

"Brother, we have news from Xiao Jun's side."

Li Yu turned his gaze away from the bustling Oriental Paradise booth, nodded, and asked:
"How to say?"

Li Tie leaned closer and answered:

"The area covered by the sea fog in Palau has expanded by another third. According to the models of the Institute of Natural Disaster Research and the Institute of Zombie Research, the sea fog will spread to the headquarters of the Great Camphor Tree in about 12 months, spread to Oriental Paradise in 13 months, spread to Oil City in 15 months, and spread to the northwest and the northern region in 24 months."

"Moreover, they all believed that once the sea fog spread to the land, the zombies would return to the land along with the sea fog."

"These zombies will inevitably undergo huge mutations after being soaked in the ocean, and they will probably be even more difficult to deal with than before."

Li Tie's tone was filled with unknown fear, and his voice even trembled slightly.

"Is the estimated arrival time of the sea fog accurate?" Li Yu asked, frowning.

He had seen videos of the sea fog in Palau. The fog was so thick that visibility was impossible; you couldn't see anything at all.

If the virus spreads to the headquarters base in Dazhangshu in twelve months, they need to prepare in advance.

Currently, all the branch bases of the Great Camphor Tree faction need the flow of supplies. If the sea fog arrives, transport convoys will be unable to travel in the dense fog with no visibility, making it difficult for the branch bases to exchange supplies. Through these days of communication and coordination, the branch bases have formed a cooperative and complementary community.

Once the supply of goods is cut off, it will deal a huge blow to the forces of Dazhangshu.

Putting aside other issues, the food problem in the oil city may erupt.

The military factories are all located at the headquarters base. Without the headquarters base supplying ammunition to the various branch bases, the branch bases would also be unable to produce ammunition.

A series of problems, very troublesome.

Therefore, the accuracy of the time is very important.

Li Tie replied somewhat helplessly:

"They are not sure because we have only tested sea fog three times so far, and the sample size is insufficient. In addition, they found that sea fog is affected by multiple factors such as tides, magnetic fields, and ocean currents."

The sea fog may arrive earlier than expected.

Li Yu facepalmed. What kind of talk is that?

"What do they say is the shortest and most extreme time?"

“Less than half a year!” Li Tie replied, head down.

Half a year.

Li Yu slammed his fist on the rooftop wall, and cracks spread from the top all the way down to the bottom.

"Six months." Li Yu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Let the science and technology department come up with a solution to remove the fog. At least a solution for fog removal on a small scale must be found. If the several bases in Dazhangshu cannot be accessed, it will definitely not work!"

"Okay." Li Tie silently noted it down and continued his report:
"Madi also went with Xiao Jun this time, along with Song Zhihong from the Natural Disaster Research Institute. They discovered that the size of the meteorite was shrinking, but the rate of shrinkage was much slower than that of the sea fog."

At the current rate of sea fog dispersal, even if the fog were to spread globally, the meteorite would only shrink by a quarter.

"But the dissolution rate of meteorites is relatively fast compared to before. They unanimously believe that natural disasters are caused by the influence of meteorites, and the energy from the current dissolution of meteorites mainly forms sea fog disasters."
Other types of natural disasters are likely to occur less frequently in the next two to three years.

Li Yu's eyes lit up upon hearing this, in the information Li Tie reported.

This is good news.

Although sea fog is troublesome, they have more ways to deal with it as long as no other natural disasters occur.

"So, does that mean we can resume train services?" Li Yu asked.

Li Tie hesitated before answering:
"Theoretically, that should be the case, but you'll probably have to talk to someone from their Ministry of Science and Technology for specifics."

Rail transport is capable of facilitating the flow of bulk goods and is suitable for transporting large quantities of materials.

It has a low cost and is relatively stable.

The Great Camphor Tree faction now has five large bases, making train transportation the most suitable option.

The reason we haven't done it yet is quite simple.

Natural disasters are uncertain.

If a super rainstorm occurs, causing a mudslide, the entire track will be washed away.

There are also extreme cold and blizzards, and tracks cracking under extreme heat, and so on.

Furthermore, the restoration of rail transit requires a significant amount of human and material resources.

For the former camphor tree forces, restoring to normalcy, both in terms of population and strength, has been somewhat difficult.

At that time, they invested a lot of time, energy, manpower and resources. If two natural disasters occurred, they would have to rebuild.

Not worth the candle.

But things are different now.

In terms of population, the latest figures obtained yesterday show a population of 75, indicating a large and abundant labor force.

In terms of other aspects of strength, they already possess the capability to repair rail transit.

Connecting the five bases shouldn't be a particularly difficult task.

On the other hand, Song Zhihong and his team's calculations are also extremely important. They believe that there is a high probability that no natural disaster will occur in the next two years, so there is no need to worry about the orbit being impacted by a natural disaster.

The time, place and people are favorable.

All the basic requirements have been met.

The restoration of the train tracks can now be put on the agenda!

Li Yu, who had been wearing a cold expression, finally showed a slight smile at this moment.

"That's good news, is there any more good news?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tie continued:
"The large-scale search operation has also yielded initial results. Miao Tianji, who is in charge of Fujian Province, found the new energy base in Ningde. Zhang San reported that half of the battery manufacturing equipment and battery recycling equipment there can be used."

Furthermore, we've obtained all the technical data from them, which will greatly promote the future development of power research in our Dazhangshu area!

"Not bad." Li Yu nodded with a smile, suddenly noticing the exceptionally beautiful sunset in the distance.

He had been standing here the whole time and hadn't noticed the beautiful sunset.

Li Tie continued:

"In addition, Tong Rugui, who is in charge of Guangxi Province, discovered a military base with three LD-3000 artillery pieces, all of which are operational, but they have run out of ammunition. However, He Bing from the military industry department stated that they can produce this type of ammunition."

After hearing this, Li Yu suddenly turned around.

Are you sure it's the Land Shield-3000?

That's the Land Shield 3000 close-in weapon system!
The world's most powerful close-in weapon system!
none of them.

It is the most powerful land-based close-in weapon system in China before the apocalypse!
The pinnacle of land-based air defense systems!
Especially its terrifying firepower, like a thunderbolt.

The core of this destructive power originates from the shipborne version of the Type 1130 close-in weapon system.

Equipped with an 11-barrel 30mm rotary cannon, it can unleash a barrage of ammunition at an ultra-high rate of fire of 12000 rounds per minute.

With such a rate of fire, a dense barrage can be formed instantly, like a storm, leaving the incoming target nowhere to hide.

Unexpectedly, Tong Rugui actually found such a thing, and it's even a three-channel one!

This thing, if you just put it there, will make the zombies' eyes clearer than a middle school student's.

This is definitely a super weapon!
"Confirmed!" Li Tie nodded vigorously.

"Great! That's wonderful!" Li Yu laughed loudly.

"only."

"Just what?"

Li Tie replied somewhat awkwardly:

"The standard equipment of the Land Shield 3000 is a 30mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile. This type of armor-piercing projectile is extremely expensive, and we can only produce it in very small batches, not on a large scale."

He Bing said that we can produce other types of shells, such as high-explosive shells and semi-armor-piercing shells, but they are still more difficult to produce than conventional shells.

"Moreover, these few Land Shield 3000s fire 12000 shells per minute, which is too much. With our current strength, even if the military factories operate at full capacity for half a year, they can run out of shells in just a few minutes."

After listening, the joy on Li Yu's face gradually subsided.

Yes, we can't afford it.

It can fire tens of thousands of shells in just a few minutes.

Too extravagant.

However, with the Land Shield 3000, they essentially have another super weapon.

This weapon of mass destruction is even more powerful than heavy artillery!
Even if the amount of shells can only last for one or two minutes, in the event of a very special crisis such as the destruction of a city, this powerful weapon can definitely turn the tide.
