Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2118 The Storm in Palau

Over the Philippines.

Two sustainable helicopters fly over Marty City in the southern Philippines.

The sea fog has spread from the sea to the land in the southern Philippines.

After four months, the sea fog has now covered an area of ​​three million square kilometers.

The sea fog rolled in like a tide, swallowing up everything on land, including vegetation and living things.

Amidst the pervasive sea fog, the howls of various zombies echoed.

A group of lions that escaped from the zoo were caught up by mutated zombies that emerged from the sea fog while running. In less than ten seconds, the lions let out a shrill scream.

Then came the sound of bones cracking.

The scattered survivors on the ground were also frantically running westward, and if they were too slow, they would be devoured by the mutated zombies that emerged from the sea fog.

These mutated zombies that crawled out of the ocean like to stay in the sea fog, in the sea fog with abundant moisture.

The sea fog contains extremely high levels of DI, which allows these zombies to unleash even greater power.

However, once they smell the scent of their prey, they will emerge from the sea fog to give chase.

At the edge of the sea fog, the people in the two helicopters from the Great Camphor Tree faction witnessed everything below from high above.

"Judge, these people died such a tragic death!" Old Qin exclaimed.

They just fired a rain-inducing grenades, which can turn sea fog into rain. Although visibility is still limited in the rain, it's much better than not being able to see anything at all in the sea fog.

Within the sea fog, countless zombies are rushing towards the land, following the fog.

Among them were many unknown zombies that were as tall as two stories.

The judge's eyes were filled with solemnity. "In a few months, the sea fog will also land on our Chinese soil, and may even reach our headquarters in Dazhangshu, as well as other branch bases."

The ant complained:
"There's something strange going on: the number of zombies seems to have increased, especially these giant zombies. I don't remember there being this many before!"

"Could it be that these Vajra zombies can reproduce?"

The zombie expert, Du Ruchen, who had come along, frowned and said:
"It's not impossible. The headquarters has made some discoveries regarding the King Kong zombies:"
It was discovered that these Vajra zombies were not formed by mutating from devouring other zombies, but most likely were continuously produced by a single mother organism.

Seemingly worried that others might not understand, he continued to explain:

"Everyone knows about ants. In a colony of ants, there is usually only one queen ant. This queen ant can produce the entire ant colony. Generally speaking, a queen ant can produce more than 2.5 million ants in her lifetime!"

"Based on research and speculation from headquarters:"
These Vajra zombies are very different from the previous zombies. Perhaps they underwent a huge mutation under the influence of a meteorite from outer space, which is why they have also developed ant-like properties.

Upon hearing this news, the judge's expression changed slightly:

"It seems we must find the source of the King Kong zombies. Otherwise, if this continues and the number of these zombies keeps growing, the number of King Kong zombies will be terrifying when the real sea fog reaches our base!"

Du Ruchen also said seriously:
"Our mission this time also mentioned this: to try our best to find the mother of the King Kong zombie."

The judge sighed and said:

"It's not that easy to find."

As he spoke, his eyes lit up, "That's right! We first discovered the King Kong zombie in the waters around Palau, so the King Kong zombie's mother is most likely on Palau Island!"

Let's go check out Palau!

Old Qin nodded in agreement:

"It's quite possible. Anyway, we've completed our routine mission this time. Let's go to Palau Island and if we can find the Mother, we can nip this extremely threatening zombie in the bud!"

"Alright, then let's go to Palau!" the judge gave the final order.

They had arranged to meet Hema in another helicopter at Trento.
The helicopter carrying the judge then flew towards the sea fog.

Their reconnaissance team always dispatches two helicopters whenever they come to scout, just in case.

There are still some risks involved in venturing into the sea fog.

If it's just a conventional fuel-powered helicopter, its range is limited, and it might not be able to get out if it enters the sea fog. After all, the area covered by the sea fog has now reached three million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of ​​the South China Sea.

They need to make a round trip through the sea fog, requiring a relatively long driving range.

With the sea fog thick, they used the helicopter's tracking mode to fly towards Palau.

The judge looked out the window at the clouds and fog, but couldn't see anything at all.

So he picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the driver's cab:

"The helicopter will ascend to an altitude of 4000 meters to avoid the clouds!"

"receive."

The helicopter ascended, reaching an altitude of 4000 meters in ten minutes.

They flew out of the clouds, which were below them.

Under the blazing sun, a sudden burst of light caught my eye.

Sunlight streamed through the cabin windows, filling it with light.

"Contact He Ma and the others, and tell them we are safe," the judge said to Old Qin beside him.

"it is good."

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

They have already arrived near the waters off Palau.

At the center of the sea fog, there were no clouds, no sea fog, no wind, and no rain.

It's like being in the eye of a tornado.

Palau Island is located in this central area.

On the sea, a group of enormous zombie whales churned on the surface, spewing water vapor tens of meters high.

Its gaping maw opened wide and swallowed dozens of zombies of various types in one gulp.

The sea was teeming with all sorts of mutated zombies, a sight that chilled the heart.

If the helicopter malfunctions here, it's almost certain death.

buzzing-

The helicopter flew over Palau.

The entire island of Palau is lush and green. Due to abundant moisture and sunshine, coupled with the absence of human damage, the vegetation here grows extremely abundantly.

Perhaps because of its proximity to the meteorite, the trees here have undergone changes unknown to people over the years, and the trees here have generally reached a height of 100 meters.

The island was covered by countless trees, a dense, dark mass, making it impossible to see the ground from high above.

Occasionally, they could see some zombies running out of the forest and jumping into the bubbling seawater, including some silver-white Vajra zombies.

The entire island of Palau covers an area of ​​459 square kilometers, which is equivalent to half the size of Shenzhen.

The helicopter lowered its altitude, maintaining a height of 700 meters above the ground.

"You can't see anything here," Old Qin complained, looking down through his binoculars.

The ant chimed in, "How about we lower the height a bit?"

After a moment's thought, the judge said:
"Okay, descend to a height of 400 meters above the ground."

The pilots lowered the helicopter to an altitude of 400 meters.

"We can't go any lower!" The judge immediately ordered the driver to stop once the predetermined height was reached.

Palau is very strange, after all, everything here has been affected by meteorites from outer space.

He was worried that something in the ocean might interfere with the helicopter if he descended any further, so maintaining a certain altitude was essential.

Even at this altitude, the situation inside Palau Island is still unclear.

The mountains and fields were covered with tall trees with thick canopies, vines, and weeds, completely obscuring the view of the ground. Even with high-powered binoculars, they still couldn't see what was happening inside the island.

After looking at it for a while, Lao Qin put down the binoculars somewhat dejectedly.

"With such dense trees, we can't see anything at all!"

All they could see were zombies running in and out of the beach.

"Do you mean we have to go down there?" the ant asked helplessly.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. What a fool's dream.

The number of zombies below is simply impossible to count, and some of the different types look like they're not to be trifled with.

Going down to the beach would be tantamount to suicide.

"Let's see if we can find it using thermal imaging," the judge said, frowning.

Soon, the people in the helicopter operated the thermal imaging scanner to scan Palau Island.

However, Palau is a large island, and thermal imaging is completely useless for scanning.

They then switched to other methods, such as radar scanning.

We've tried everything, but we still haven't found the mother's whereabouts.

In desperation, the judge looked down at Palau Island, his eyes hardening:
"If dropping 10 incendiary bombs doesn't work, then burn this island down!"

"Yes!"

Swish swish swish~
Helicopters flew over the center of Palau Island, dropping incendiary bombs in all directions.

dong dong dong~
The incendiary bomb crashed into the primeval forest, instantly unleashing tremendous energy and igniting flames.

The temperature during combustion reached 2500 degrees Celsius.

However, the flames went out after only two minutes.

"Deploy 10 more incendiary bombs!" the judge ordered upon seeing the situation.

Ten more incendiary bombs were fired, but after two minutes, the flames went out again after the bombs had burned completely.

"Depend on!"

Seeing this, the judge couldn't help but yell, "Check the humidity below!"

The inspector, looking at the hygrometer, replied:

"The humidity reached 90%, and it may be even higher down below, closer to the sea, approaching 100%."

Upon hearing this news, the judge rubbed his temples, unsure of what to do.

Bubbles constantly rose from the sea surface, and water vapor continued to evaporate, resulting in extremely high humidity around Palau.

The relative humidity even reached 100%, but it did not rain because rainfall requires more than just air humidity.

A relative humidity of 100% in the air only indicates that the air is saturated; water vapor will easily condense.

However, precipitation also requires additional factors such as condensation nuclei, sufficient cooling conditions, and water droplets growing to the point where gravity exceeds air buoyancy.

The temperature here is so high that it's impossible for rain to form.

The judge looked at the twenty incendiary bombs that had just been dropped; the burned area was only a few square kilometers.

If so many high-explosive incendiary bombs had been dropped on land, they would have caused a forest fire long ago, and with a gust of wind, the entire island would probably have been ablaze.

However, here, due to the high humidity, the flame in the high-temperature environment is easily suppressed by the water vapor, further reducing the actual combustion range.

Moreover, the high humidity of the surface humus layer, with a water content exceeding 50%, makes it difficult for a sustained fire to form.

In addition, the island has many natural barriers such as rivers, swamps, and rock walls, which directly blocked the incendiary bomb fire chain.

"Should we try launching it again?" Old Qin asked.

The judge shook his head and said:

"Forget it, this method won't work. Do you remember during the Vietnam War, the US military dropped thousands of napalm bombs in the jungle where the humidity was over 80%, and still couldn't clear 100 kilometers of forest guerrilla strongholds?"

"The humidity here is even higher, and the trees are even more lush, so this method won't work!"

At this point, the judge looked at Ding Zhaodao, a military industry worker:

"Since we're already here, let's use sonar to check how much the meteorite has shrunk in size."

"Yes."

Just as they were checking the size of the meteorite, Nut, who had been staring blankly down below, suddenly said:
"How about we send out drones? We can't go down there ourselves, but drones can, right?"

Upon hearing this, the judge's eyes lit up. "That's a great idea!"

"Okay, send out the smallest drone!"

"We can't burn the whole island down, but if we can find the King Kong zombie mother, we can still blow it up by dropping powerful bombs from high altitude!"

Take action immediately if you have an idea.

The jackal took out the smallest drone from the rear of the cabin and placed it on the floor of the cabin.

And the drone's parameters were adjusted.

Then, the ant pulled open the cabin door.

Huhu——

The warm, humid air below rushed up.

The helicopter cabin changed from a closed and stable state to an open state, causing the fuselage to become somewhat unbalanced and sway.

"Stabilize the helicopter!" Judge shouted into the cockpit.

The pilot gripped the joystick, trying his best to stabilize the helicopter.

Once the helicopter had stabilized somewhat, the jackal launched the drone.

The cabin door closed quickly.

The drone is about the size of two palms and uses solid-state batteries mass-produced by Dazhangshu Power, which dramatically increases the flight time from the original 1 hours to 5 hours.

After the drone flew down from the sky, it hovered above the zombies' heads.

Being so close to these zombies instantly attracted their attention.

One of the zombies, with a slender build, sprang up.

Oh oh oh!
The drone suddenly rose to a height of more than 20 meters.

"Holy crap, these zombies can jump ten meters high, that's insane!" Jackal was startled, but luckily he was quick enough.

"Alright, maintain this altitude and fly into the forest," the judge said, watching the footage transmitted back by the drone.

The drone left the beach and flew towards the jungle.

Soon, the drone flew to the location where the jungle meets the beach.

Beneath the tall trees, there was a path trampled by zombies, with vines intertwined between the trees and weeds growing on the side.

The drone flew dozens of meters in, where the tree canopy above almost completely blocked out all the light.

It was dark.

Fortunately, the drone was equipped with night vision. When the camera rotated upwards, they saw the dense branches above and various ferns that grew on the trees.

These ferns intertwined, forming a dark cloud.

hoo hoo hoo!
Various zombie sounds came from all around.

woohoo~
The drone slipped through the gaps between the tree trunks.

"Don't take any other routes. Just follow these King Kong zombies. These King Kong zombies will definitely go to the Mother Island when they return to Palau," the judge reminded him from the side.

"Okay." Jackal was controlling the drone, about to follow the King Kong zombies running wildly through the jungle below.

next second.

A zombie monkey jumped down from the tree and grabbed the drone.

The sharp claws dismembered the drone in no time.

Boom!
The drone camera fell into the grass.

They saw through the screen that a zombie's giant foot was stomping down.

The screen disappeared the next second.

The jackal was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "My drone!"
