Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2121 The Thin Line of Life and Death

The perpetual helicopter flew another 30 kilometers westward, and the third backup power supply had less than 10% of its charge remaining.

The helicopter was shrouded in sea fog and could not see anything.

Moreover, the remaining battery power is only enough for them to continue flying west for another 30 kilometers, or to choose to ascend to an altitude of 4,000 meters.

Taking a helicopter to altitude is extremely energy-intensive.

Inside the cockpit.

Old Qin gripped the control panel nervously and asked the judge behind him:
"It seems we can't leave the sea fog area now. We'll need power to land, and we can't use up the last bit of power before landing. How about we launch rain-inducing grenades now and see what happens down there?"

The judge looked at Nuts in the passenger seat and asked:
"Based on our flight speed and direction, have we reached the city of Martí yet?"

Nuts lowered his head and calculated for a moment, then nodded and answered:
"They should have arrived."

The judge issued the order without hesitation:

"In that case, let's launch the rain-inducing missiles."

"Old Qin, after you launch the rain-inducing grenades, find a suitable place to land ahead, preferably a rooftop or something. Landing on the ground is really terrifying."

"Okay." Old Qin understood.

The judge then instructed everyone in the cabin to prepare for battle, as they would likely encounter an attack by mutated zombies upon landing.

Whoosh whoosh~
Several rain-inducing projectiles were fired.

It exploded several kilometers ahead.

The helicopter flew forward, occasionally launching two rain-inducing grenades along the way.

When the helicopter arrived at the location where the rain-inducing grenades exploded, the grenades began to take effect, and the sea fog condensed into rain.

The helicopter flew at an altitude of 600 meters, and on the ground were rows of buildings.

The buildings here are all entwined with vines, making it a kingdom of vegetation.

There is just enough space on top of the tallest building to land a helicopter.

"Judge, look, this place is perfect for landing helicopters!" Old Qin shouted, looking at the building.

"Then land here." As soon as the judge finished speaking, he saw a dense mass of zombies below the building.

What the hell.
Old Qin also saw the zombie horde in the rain.

"Why don't we give it a try?"

"That's all we can do," the judge replied, tightening his gun belt.

The helicopter swayed and rocked, slowly approaching the rooftop of the building amidst a sea fog and rain.

The helicopter descended to an altitude of 200 meters, only 30 meters from the roof of the building, and was about to land.

But the next second, the door on the roof was suddenly smashed open, and a large group of King Kong zombies rushed out, completely filling the helicopter's landing spot.

"Oh shit!"

Upon seeing this, the judge immediately gave the following order:
"Armor-piercing rounds! Take down these zombies!"

Nuts and Lao Qin worked together to spray bullets at the King Kong zombies below.

Da da da da——

Armor-piercing projectiles are extremely powerful; they can penetrate armor several centimeters thick even at a distance of 1000 meters.

Although these Vajra zombies have tough skin, they still cannot withstand the super armor-piercing power of armor-piercing bullets.

Puff puff!
The Vajra zombies on the rooftop that were hit by armor-piercing bullets exploded like water balloons, with half of their bodies blown off.

However, the armor-piercing rounds were so powerful that after passing through the zombie's body, they still flew towards the concrete rooftop and pierced through the floor.

In an instant, the floor was riddled with bullet holes and littered with the corpses of King Kong zombies.

Just as they were preparing to land on the roof of the building, a squid tens of meters long appeared below the building.

Before the apocalypse, squid were generally several meters long, with the largest reaching 20 meters.

But the giant squid in front of us looks at least forty meters long!
A gigantic squid, stretching out more than twenty tentacles, climbed up the building.

"Holy crap! How can a squid have so many tentacles? They're damn long!" Nut's eyes widened when he saw the giant squid.

"Bomb it!" Judge reacted the fastest. "Helicopter, pull up, quick!"

Old Qin quickly pulled the helicopter up, and Nuts realized what was happening.

da da da da~
A 100mm armor-piercing round burst out and hit the giant squid below.

Phew! Phew!

The giant squid's body was hit by armor-piercing bullets, leaving many holes, but it still didn't die.

It was still waving its arms and legs, climbing upwards.

"Damn it! Serves me 240mm rockets!" the judge shouted.

This is the most powerful shell in this helicopter.

They only carried three 240mm rockets in their helicopter.

A 240mm rocket contains more than 150 kilograms of ammunition, far exceeding the weight of a 155mm artillery shell.

A direct hit can penetrate reinforced concrete bunkers, and its destructive radius for civil engineering projects exceeds 30 meters.

Extremely powerful!

The nut lever has been replaced with a rocket launcher.

The moment the giant squid reached the top of the building, the launch switch was immediately pressed.

swoosh~
Rumble~
The 240mm rocket hit the squid's head.

The structure of a squid consists of a head, a torso, and tentacles.

The rocket exploded in a huge flash the moment it hit the head.

Wow~
The mutated squid was blown up, its head blown to pieces.

The torso was also affected, leaving only a charred black patch.

Its arms and legs were severed and fell to the ground, where they were devoured by the zombies.

Old Qin pursed his lips and nodded, saying:
"Even the strongest carbon-based life form cannot escape this kind of firepower!"

"This can already be considered a DI elemental creature," Nut exclaimed in astonishment.

If a 240mm rocket still can't kill this squid, then this squid is truly outrageous.

Old Qin looked at the top of the building and was also affected by the rocket blast.

In addition to the fact that the rooftop had just been penetrated by hundreds of 100mm armor-piercing rounds, it was now also affected by 240mm rockets, making the floor teeter on the verge of collapse.

If it were to land now, the ground on the roof would probably not be able to withstand the weight of the 20-ton helicopter.

Old Qin quickly turned his head and asked:
"Judge, what do we do now? We only have seven percent of the battery left. Should we leave or land?"

"Fly forward and see if there are any other suitable places." This building is definitely not suitable now, and the surrounding buildings do not meet the landing requirements.

It's even more impossible on the ground.

Because they had just used rockets and armor-piercing rounds, the loud noise attracted the surrounding mutated zombies, and now they saw more and more zombies arriving.

The sustainable version of the helicopter continued flying westward.

To save power, Lao Qin adjusted the flight speed of the perpetual helicopter to 200 kilometers per hour.

This is very slow for an electric helicopter.

Generally speaking, they could fly at speeds of over 350 kilometers per hour in their perpetual helicopters. However, at that time, the helicopter's zombie generator was intact and could be continuously recharged.

However, this low-to-medium speed flight saves even more power.

High-speed flight consumes a great deal of electricity, just like the principle of new energy electric vehicles.

Due to the dense sea fog ahead, they had to pull the helicopter up again to avoid crashing into the buildings in front of them.

They watched the battery level on the dashboard decrease little by little.

6%.
5%
4%
3%
Whoosh whoosh—

They've been firing rain-inducing grenades all the way, and now they're not even thinking about conserving them anymore.

All I wanted to do was find a relatively safe place to land as soon as possible.

After flying another twenty kilometers westward.

The rain-inducing missiles kept being fired, and the rain kept falling as the helicopter flew through the rainstorm zone it had created.

Suddenly, a manor appeared ahead.

This estate covers at least 100 acres, and there is a rather beautifully built house in the center.

The entire estate was surrounded by a wall several meters high, and the central building also had an iron fence.

Most importantly, there's a helipad right of the swimming pool outside the central house! To own such a large estate on the outskirts of Marty must have been an extraordinary figure before the apocalypse.

Through the rain, the judge's eyes lit up when he saw the manor, and he exclaimed excitedly:

"Go to the house in the center!"

Old Qin saw it too, and his expression became excited as he nodded vigorously:
"it is good!"

These private estates typically have basements.

In the current sea fog, the basement is the most suitable place to serve as a shelter.

Basements built by wealthy people are generally quite sturdy.

buzzing-

Apart from the noise from the rotor when it's spinning, this sustainable helicopter makes no other noise.

Compared to conventional engines, fuel-powered helicopters are much quieter.

The helicopter flew quickly toward the house in the center of the estate.

They quickly flew up to the house.

However, after the helicopter descended, they had a clearer view of the ground.

Inside the vast manor, outside the central building, there were scattered mutated zombies.

In particular, some zombies near the house started running towards the helicopter after they saw it in the sky.

There are probably more than a dozen of them.

The judge looked at the zombies outside the courtyard, his eyes filled with worry, and spoke up to remind them:

"Everyone remember, don't fire unless absolutely necessary. The gunshots are too loud and might attract zombies from afar."

An ant, perched on the window sill looking down, asked:
"But how do we deal with these dozen or so zombies? Can we kill them with melee weapons without shooting?"

The judge frowned and said:
"Remember, everyone, once the helicopter lands, run to the house immediately. The closer we are to the house, the lower the danger. It's not that we're not letting you fire, but we're trying to buy as much time as possible."

"Also, everyone bring water and dry food. Ants, Zhuang Mingdong, you guys protect the researchers."

"Researchers should bring only the photos and videos taken in the past few days, food, and nothing else. Pack light and keep things simple!"

"Yes," everyone responded.

The helicopter began its descent.

The rain poured down.

Finally, with only 1% of its power remaining, the helicopter landed smoothly on the helipad.

"Hurry up!"

After the helicopter landed and stabilized, the judge called out to everyone.

Old Qin unbuckled his seatbelt, rushed to the back, grabbed the tactical backpack Ant had prepared for him, picked up two guns, and ran downstairs.

The judge, seeing that the instrument panel was still not completely powered off, immediately ran over and shut down the helicopter's power.

He didn't know why he did it, but at least the helicopter still had one percent of its power left.

Perhaps they will be able to use it in the future.

As soon as I stepped out of the helicopter, a chill swept over me.

The rain was mixed with fog, and the temperature was probably only a few degrees.

Their tactical uniforms were instantly soaked by the rain. After Ant and Zhuang Mingdong ran off the helicopter, they quickly ran towards the house fifty meters away.

Their headlamps flickered, shining on the house.

The walls of the house were covered with moss and vines, which intertwined with each other, and it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

Patapapap~
Following closely behind, Lao Qin and Jian Guo escorted the researchers.

As Lao Qin ran, he kept a watchful eye on his surroundings to prevent any zombies from getting close.

Suddenly, he saw a shoe print on the wet ground.

This shoe print definitely wasn't left by them, because they were all wearing special Martin boots produced at the headquarters in Dazhangshu. These boots are waterproof, warm, and extremely durable.

Ordinary zombies couldn't even bite through this shoe.

But the footprints he was seeing now were definitely not left by any of them.

Could it be that someone is inside?
All these thoughts only flashed through his mind.

Keep running towards the house.

The judge and several other assault team members also ran down.

Sprint at top speed.

Ant and Zhuang Mingdong, who were the first to come down, have now arrived at the house.

"Oh no, zombies have gotten in!" The headlamp shone to the right, and three zombies climbed in through the iron fence and charged towards them.

The speed is scary.

"It's a mutated speed-type zombie! Damn it!" The judge cursed angrily upon seeing it.

Even these special forces soldiers couldn't outrun these mutated speed-type zombies.

The three zombies then set their sights on the judge, who was trailing behind.

The judge ran wildly, occasionally turning his head to look back.

"Open the door! Why aren't you opening the door?!" the judge shouted as he saw the ants reach the house.

Several people were blocking the outside of the house, and he was too far away to know what was going on.

In the rain.

After the ant pushed open a wooden door, it was revealed to be an extremely sturdy explosion-proof door.

After a moment of stunned silence, he fired two shots at the blast door.

However, the explosion-proof door remained unmoved.

This is a solid blast door; it can withstand the bombardment of small-caliber artillery shells.

The bullets were completely useless.

"There's a high-strength explosion-proof door here!" Ant shouted back.

Old Qin also ran over here at this moment. His mind raced, and he suddenly remembered the shoe print he had seen on the way here.

"There must be survivors here! I just saw shoe prints!"

"Not good!" Just then, Nuts saw that the speed-type mutated zombies behind Judge had caught up with him.

Without hesitation, he raised his gun, held his breath, and his eyes sharpened.

Bang bang bang!
He fired three shots in quick succession, each aimed at one of the three speed-type zombies behind the judge.

He is a very good shot.

A trace.

Just a hair's breadth away, those speed-type zombies were about to catch up with the Judge.

Even with the mutated speed-type zombies running at full speed, and in the rainy and foggy environment where visibility was poor, Nuts was still able to hit all three zombies!

Phew! Phew! Phew!

These three zombies, each shot to the brain.

None of the bullets they carried this time were conventional bullets.

It's either a high-temperature shell, a high-explosive shell, or a tungsten steel bullet, or something like that.

The bullet that the nut just used was a tungsten steel bullet. The hardness of this tungsten steel bullet is generally between 8.5 and 9.5. This range shows that tungsten steel has extremely high hardness, which can even be compared with some gemstones.

They tested it and found that these tungsten steel bullets could easily penetrate the King Kong zombies.

It's important to know that the hardness of tungsten steel bullets is several times that of conventional bullets.

Its penetrating power is also extremely impressive.

However, the cost is high, and even with the current large camphor tree population, the output is not very high.

However, since the discovery of the King Kong zombie, the Big Camphor Tree headquarters base has begun to increase the production of this bullet.

It was designed to deal with zombies like the King Kong Zombie.

The judge had no time to reflect on the brush with death he had just experienced. He ran to the foot of the house and saw this door.

He frowned and said:
"This is fucking..."
