Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

ding dong -- ding dong --

After passing through three zombie-clearing checkpoints, the train driver, Wei Chuan, received a notification and finally opened the train doors.

Click
The train door rubbed against the zombie bones on the door and moved to the side.

The steel spikes even had zombie heads stuck in them, and the slime inside the zombies had frozen into icicles that hung down.

The train tracks were also littered with fragments of zombie corpses.

The train car body was covered with a layer of flocculent material that was a mixture of ice and zombie slime.

The temperature was only three or four degrees Celsius, and every breath people exhaled was accompanied by white mist.

Xiao Hu got off the train, turned his head to look at the mess on the train's surface, and sighed at the danger of the battle he had just fought.

"Captain Xiao, you've finally arrived." Lai Dongsheng from the logistics department walked towards us.

Upon seeing Lai Dongsheng, Xiao Hu quickly greeted him:

"Manager Lai, why did you come in person?"

The person in front of him, the head of the logistics department's material storage group, was Lai Xiyue's father, and had a very close relationship with Li Yu.

He was also one of the founding members of the Big Camphor Tree.

Although his position wasn't high, his status within the camphor tree was extremely high.

Lai Dongsheng glanced at the train behind him and said:

"The higher-ups have given the latest instructions: with the city under siege by zombies, the train frequency will be reduced to once every three days."

"And this train also needs to be inspected, which will take time."

"Okay." Xiao Hu took out the list of supplies for this shipment from his pocket and handed it to Lai Dongsheng. "Manager Lai, this is the list of supplies for this shipment. Please take a look."

Lai Dongsheng took the list and stood there reading it carefully.

After glancing through it briefly, Lai Dongsheng looked up at Xiao Hu:
"Captain Xiao Hu, you can rest for a bit. You can leave once we have finished inspecting the goods."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Xiao Hu said:
"Can I go back to base first? If there are any problems, just contact me via communicator."

Seeing Lai Dongsheng's hesitation, Xiao Hu quickly added:

“I can leave my men here; they have a good understanding of the specific quantities of goods.”

Lai Dongsheng thought for a moment and nodded:

"also."

Xiao Hu then summoned Chang Ze and instructed him to be in charge of the handover of supplies with Lai Dongsheng.

He then went to the testing station, and after passing through a thorough inspection, he finally left the train station.

The train station was completely enclosed, and he didn't get off the train the entire way.

As soon as he stepped out of the train station, the cold wind that hit him was mixed with goose-feather-like snowflakes, which made him shiver.

He breathed out, rubbed his hands together, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit them.

Before I could even finish my cigarette, the electric bus had already arrived.

It was too cold, and there were very few people on the bus.

He was sitting in the middle of the bus, where the heating was quite strong.

After stopping for two minutes, the bus started moving towards the buffer zone.

Along the way, he noticed that there were many more patrol vehicles than before, and patrol vehicles were even parked on major traffic routes.

He thought about it again and figured it was probably because of the zombie horde outside that the city's martial law had been tightened considerably.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, he suddenly noticed a first-aid kit on the windshield of his car.

Inside the transparent first-aid kit, in addition to bandages, gauze, and alcohol, there were ten doses of zombie antidote.

He frowned slightly when he saw the antidote for zombies.

Why would the zombie cure be on a bus?
So he shouted to the driver in front:
"Sir, when was this first aid kit hung up?"

Driver Wang initially didn't intend to answer, but when he saw the gold badge on Xiao Hu's chest in the rearview mirror, his hands on the steering wheel trembled.

Level 1 personnel!
Why would someone of this stature take the bus?

He didn't look at Xiao Hu carefully when he boarded the bus.

What he saw startled him.

The entire camphor tree area has a population of up to 200 million, but only a few hundred people hold first-level positions.

The probability of encountering a Level 1 player in the buffer city is extremely low.

Driver Wang quickly replied:

"Just half an hour ago, when I left the station, an installation worker came and installed it. I don't know why they installed this thing."

With his keen sense of smell, Xiao Hu sensed something was amiss.

Since its establishment, the Big Camphor Tree has never been breached by zombies; it is very safe inside.

The biggest threat actually comes from unrest among residents.

The purpose of this zombie antidote is to restore a human to human form after being bitten by a zombie.

There must have been a reason for all these arrangements. Could it be that the leaders were worried that the walls would be breached?

Should we prepare a zombie antidote in advance?
But that shouldn't be the case. With the current strength of the camphor tree, they can hold off any number of zombies.

Moreover, they made so many preparations.

Be puzzled.

As Xiao Hu pondered this, he gazed at the scenery outside the window.

The wind and snow were falling, and a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.

Pedestrians hurried along the road, their bodies covered in snow, leaving behind footprints of varying depths.

After entering the buffer city, he saw first aid kits hanging outside the shops in the commercial district.

There were even workers installing first aid kits.

Without exception, all of these first-aid kits contained a zombie antidote.

When the zombie cure first came out, it was quite expensive, and since there were zombies everywhere at the time, many people bought it.

However, with the production of the Big Camphor Tree Pharmaceutical Factory, the supply of the zombie antidote increased significantly.

In addition, the zombies on land have returned to the ocean, so the price of the zombie cure has dropped.

However, after the price was reduced, fewer people bought it because there were no zombies to be found on land, so the demand naturally decreased.

Twenty minutes later, the bus arrived at the outer city gate station.

"Sir, I've reached the final stop. You can only get off here." Driver Wang stopped the bus and personally walked over to Xiao Hu to remind him.

At the headquarters in the Great Camphor Tree, personnel of all ranks can move freely between the buffer city and the edge city.

However, only those who have reached the corresponding level can enter the outer city and the inner city.

Master Wang does not have this authority.

Xiao Hu nodded and got off the bus.

A cold wind was blowing.

He arrived at the outer city gate.

The guards at the city gate naturally recognized Xiao Hu, after all, there weren't many Level 1 personnel in the entire camphor tree base.

"Captain Xiao." The two guards saluted Xiao Hu.

Xiao Hu nodded and asked:
"Do you know why there are first-aid kits installed everywhere now? Why? What happened?"

The two guards looked at each other and shook their heads, saying:
"We don't know either."

"Alright then." Xiao Hu didn't press them further, since these two weren't high enough in rank.

Filled with doubt, he entered the outer city.

Just as we entered the outer city, a car drove towards us.

The car stopped beside him, the window rolled down, revealing a familiar face.

"Captain Xiao, you're back?" Deng Ben, the patrol team leader, called out to Xiao Hu.

"Why didn't you send someone to pick you up? It's so cold." Xiao Hu waved his hand and said, "I didn't want to trouble them. By the way, why are there zombie antidotes everywhere outside? What happened?"

He was really troubled; he had thought about it for a long time on the way here but still couldn't figure it out.

Upon hearing this question, Deng Ben remained silent for a moment before getting out of the car.

"Eight hours ago, Minister Bai of the Zombie Research Institute discovered a tunnel zombie among the new types of zombies they captured. This zombie has extremely sharp fingernails, shaped like hoes, and soil was found inside the fingernails."

She suspected that these zombies had a digging instinct and worried that they might dig tunnels into the base.

Upon learning of this news, the higher-ups arranged for a large quantity of zombie antidote to be deployed throughout the base as a precaution.

Patrol efforts have also been intensified.

Deng Ben lowered his voice and looked up at Xiao Hu, saying:

"Currently, only Level 1 personnel have access to this information. You are a Level 1 personnel, so you are qualified to know about this situation."

After hearing his explanation, Xiao Hu's eyes widened in shock, and it took him a while to recover.
"Damn, this is too outrageous. How could such zombies suddenly appear?"

Deng Ben didn't show much worry on his face and said:
"The zombie research department is currently trying to solve this problem. I didn't quite understand what they said during the meeting, but it seemed to be something about sound wave resonance. I don't know the specifics."

After saying that, he pointed to the city gate and said:

"I have to go out on patrol now, so I'll talk to you later."

“Okay.” Xiao Hu nodded, watching Deng Ben get into the car and leave the outer city.

Xiao Hu walked along the snow-covered road with a furrowed brow.

It was too cold, and he didn't want to walk anymore, so he found a small electric scooter by the roadside and rode it back to the inner city.

After getting on the electric scooter, he was surprised to find that the seat had a heating function, which was quite nice.

The wind and snow howled against his face, and by the time he returned to the inner city, he had turned into a snowman.

I returned to my dorm room, which I hadn't been back to in a long time, and found it covered in a layer of dust.

Since he was promoted to Level 1, he has only stayed in this house less than 10 times.

The rest of the time they are either at other bases or on the road.

He lifted the blanket from the quilt and opened the window to let in some fresh air.

The cold air outside instantly swept away the stuffiness inside.

He then closed the window, and the radiators in the room emitted heat, making the room much warmer in no time.

He took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and his mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts as he slept.

Holding a cup of freshly boiled water, I stood by the window and gazed at the heavy snow falling outside.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire outside became much louder.

Rumble rumble rumble~~
The tremors were even felt in the inner city, several kilometers away.

Even the windowpanes were shaking.

这 是
Xiao Hu's expression changed drastically. Only by going all out could such a commotion be achieved!

Top of the watchtower on the outer wall of the city.

Yi Jing, wearing a cloak and holding a telescope, was observing the zombie situation outside.

His cloak was covered in snowflakes, but his hand holding the binoculars remained motionless.

In the distance, Fortress No. 4 had already unleashed its maximum firepower.

More than a dozen mortars bombarded the zombie horde.
More than forty light and heavy machine guns were firing wildly at the zombies.

Additionally, combatants were firing at zombies from the gun emplacements left in the city's fortress.

The close-in weapon system atop Fortress No. 4 was unleashing 30mm bullets at the zombies heading towards the camphor tree headquarters base.

It wasn't just Fortress 4 that was being bombed.

The twelve fortresses outside the Great Camphor Tree City, with a total of four close-in weapon systems, more than one hundred mortars, and more than four hundred light and heavy machine guns, formed a terrifying firepower network at this moment, sweeping away the zombies within a ten-kilometer radius between the city fortresses and the Great Camphor Tree headquarters!

Also.

The large camphor tree located at the very center of the twelve fortified cities.

Inside the outer walls of the city, four close-in weapon systems, dozens of anti-aircraft guns laid flat, hundreds of various artillery pieces firing simultaneously, and hundreds of light and heavy machine guns...
This resulted in a pincer attack on the zombies between the headquarters base of the Great Camphor Tree and the fortified city.

This concentrated bombing and sweep of zombies unleashed 30% of the firepower of the Big Camphor Tree headquarters base.

Every second represents a massive consumption of ammunition.

In total, hundreds of artillery pieces, thousands of light and heavy machine guns, and eight close-in weapon systems simultaneously annihilated the zombies.

In an instant, the colors of the sky and earth changed.

The sky was filled with firelight, as bright as day.

Even the snow, under the bombing, was evaporated by the heat.

The firelight refracted onto the telescope of the I Ching, and after half a minute, he put it down.

He picked up the communicator and instructed:

"Sun Ji, are you ready?"

"Ready, ready to go at any time."

"Okay, follow my orders later."

Outside the wall, the zombies that were originally everywhere were all blown up one by one in this terrifying bombing.

Some shells even repeatedly bombarded the same spot, turning the zombie corpses over and over again.

ten minutes later.

The zombie horde within a ten-kilometer radius was completely wiped out by the bombing.

This bombing, which lasted for ten minutes, consumed two million rounds of ammunition at Dazhangshu.

In return, no weeds grew within a ten-kilometer radius.

Looking down from the wall, there wasn't a single zombie standing up anymore.

Even the strongest zombies will be reduced to ashes under overwhelming firepower.

There are several factors to consider in order to fight so aggressively this time:

1. There are too many zombies gathered at the moment, and multiple piles of zombies have formed outside the wall. The King Kong zombies are a great threat, but it will take time to replace the mobile guillotine. We need to bombard them to clear out the zombies in order to buy time to replace the guillotine.

2. Test the current firepower of the camphor tree. If it can release a certain amount of firepower, can it sweep away the zombies outside the city with firepower alone?

3. The zombie research institute hasn't come up with a feasible solution to deal with the tunnel zombies yet. Since there are zombies outside the walls, sending people out would be suicide. They haven't found any trace of the tunnel zombies while standing on the wall fortress, so they simply decided to kill all the zombies outside the city before sending people out.

Although, under the bombing, if tunnels dug by the zombies might collapse, making it difficult to find those who had ventured out.

However, even though the tunnel dug by the tunnel zombies collapsed, one or two tunnel zombies still entered the big camphor tree, but they couldn't cause any trouble.

The fear is that the zombies have dug a large hole, through which a large number of zombies will pour into the base.

"Li Gang, have things temporarily halted in Edge City."

"Yes." Li Gang nodded and then gave the instructions.

Yi Jing picked up the communicator again and contacted the various leaders of the twelve fortified cities.

"Your fortified positions, turn your guns around and stop the zombies from pouring in!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"receive."

The gunfire stopped for a moment, then resumed.

The sound was just half as loud.

The scorched earth area within a ten-kilometer radius of the big camphor tree.

It snowed again.

However, under the influence of the smoke of battle,

The snow had all turned black.
