Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2205 A Close Call!
A thick fog blanketed the area, and although it was daytime, everything around was still a vast expanse of white.

An armored combat vehicle and a rail maintenance vehicle travel through the white sea fog.

Both vehicles had all their lights on: low beam headlights, high beam headlights, fog lights, and even the added high beam spotlights.

Even so, the visibility ahead was still extremely poor. The distance that could be clearly seen was less than four meters ahead, and beyond that distance it was all blurry.

They still had to rely on the night vision devices and infrared thermal imaging on the vehicle to identify what was ahead.

Therefore, the two vehicles were traveling at an extremely slow speed.

As the vehicle moved, some zombies approached upon hearing the noise, while others followed the vehicle. Some wall-climbing zombies and Vajra zombies climbed directly onto the vehicle and began banging on it.

These vehicles have been specially modified by the headquarters' auto repair shop, featuring a closed structure and external armor, making them impenetrable to zombies.

Even so, the people inside the car were not having an easy time.

inside the car.

Xie Fei stared at the infrared thermal imaging screen, which displayed small, moving red dots.

These all represent zombies.

"Stationmaster, we expect to arrive at the area with the rail problem in fifteen minutes," said the driver, Little Yellow Ox.

"Hmm." Xie Fei nodded slightly, but his gaze never left the thermal imaging screen.

Zhou Tan, a combatant standing next to him, also watched the screen for a while, his eyes showing some worry.

"Stationmaster, there are so many zombies outside, and the visibility is so poor. It will be difficult for us to get off the train later, let alone repair the tracks. It's not easy to operate at all."

Xie Fei was not a technician; he used to be in the patrol team and was considered a relatively unique figure among the stationed personnel.

Most of the station chiefs were transferred from the transportation brigade team leaders.

He bit his lower lip, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Relying solely on infrared thermal imaging and our current searchlights is definitely not enough."

"There are dozens of zombies following us on the road right now. When we get to the maintenance track, there will be hundreds more zombies waiting for us. Our visibility is so poor that it's difficult to carry out maintenance work."

"but."

Xie Fei's eyes lit up, and he immediately used the radio to contact the No. 8 outpost.

"Xiaosong, Xiaosong, can you hear me?"

zizi~
Upon hearing Xie Fei's voice through his earpiece, Xiao Song, the communications officer at post number eight, felt a pang of anxiety and quickly asked:

"Station manager, are you in trouble?"

"Quickly call Lao Liang over, I need to talk to him, go quickly."

"Oh, good."

Xie Fei heard the sound of a chair being moved, followed by hurried footsteps.

Ten seconds later.

Liang Che's voice came through the radio.

"Stationmaster, what do you need me to do?"

Xie Fei asked somewhat excitedly:

"I remember the headquarters sent us a batch of ammunition a while ago, which should have included rain-inducing shells. See if you have any left."

"Rain-inducing bombs!" Liang Che was not only an observer at the outpost, but also a logistics support officer at Outpost No. 8.

They had a very clear understanding of the supplies at the outpost.

"We still have 40 rain-inducing shells left. We haven't used them yet; they're all in the warehouse." As he spoke, Liang Che's eyes lit up.
"You mean, use rain-inducing bombs?"

“Yes.” Xie Fei nodded and said, “The No. 8 outpost is only seven kilometers away from where the rail problem occurred. Mortars can completely cover that area.”

“You do this now. You know the location of the rails. Calculate the precise coverage area and then fire 10 rain-inducing shells at me.”

"Ten rain-inducing shells should last for a few hours."

"Okay!" Liang Che then asked, "Station Chief, is there anything else you need?"

Xie Fei spoke quickly, "That's all. Go and set it up as soon as possible. Once it's set up, launch the rain-inducing projectiles immediately. It will take a while for the rain-inducing projectiles to take effect, but by the time we get there, the sea fog will have turned into rain."

"Yes!" Upon receiving the order, Liang Che dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly ran to prepare.

inside the car.

After overhearing Xie Fei and Liang Che's conversation, Zhou Tan excitedly said:

"Stationmaster, you're quick-witted! Our biggest problem right now is that we can't see clearly, and the section of track where the rails have problems happens to be within the mortar's range."

Even though visibility will be worse than normal weather if it turns to rain, it's still better than being blind in the sea fog!

Xie Fei's face remained solemn.

"Now I will give you the instructions for our next action."

"Zhao You, Huang Ming, once we arrive at our destination, you two will stay in the vehicle and use the heavy machine gun and cannon to quickly clear out the zombies at a distance, making sure to keep the zombies on that straight road off the tracks."

"Zhou Tan, you four get out of the car immediately, take Xiao Huangniu, Duan Hong, and Zhao Bing, block the key positions at the bend, and quickly clear out the surrounding zombies."

"The rest of you, get off the train with me and protect the track maintenance personnel."

After saying this, Xie Fei used a walkie-talkie to contact Duan Lin, the technician in the vehicle behind.

He was informed of his action plan.

everything's ready.

Xie Fei had mixed feelings. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and began smoking in the car.

This track maintenance operation was extremely risky.

There were only a dozen or so of them, yet they had to face hundreds of zombies in such extremely harsh conditions.

It may even take two hours to complete.

They have to race against time and fight against zombies.

Time flies by.

A dozen minutes later.

They heard a crackling sound outside, and then their view suddenly opened up.

The rain-inducing projectiles, launched with precise positioning from their station, have proven effective.

It was pouring rain outside, and Xie Fei breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

it works!

He would rather face torrential rain than fight zombies in the sea fog.

Although their combat helmets have infrared thermal imaging, it's very inconvenient.

If any are missed and zombies get close, it could be fatal.

It continued driving for another twenty seconds.

The little yellow ox driving the vehicle shouted:

"Stationmaster, the track problem is just ahead."

Upon hearing this, Xie Fei immediately looked at everyone:
"Prepare for action!"

Zhou Tan's eyes narrowed as he checked the magazines on his body.

The magazines they are currently carrying contain tungsten carbide alloy bullets.

Although these bullets are of the same specifications as the bullets they usually use, switching magazines takes time when dealing with zombies, so they all use tungsten steel alloy bullets.

These bullets are just as effective against ordinary zombies; as long as they hit the head, they can kill the zombie.

dong dong dong~
The armored combat vehicle crashed into several zombies ahead and then came to a stop before the bend in the track.

crunch--

The car stopped.

Zhou Tan was about to get out of the car when Xie Fei stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

Xie Fei looked at Zhao You and Huang Ming, "Get to work!"

"Yes!"

Zhao You sat in the firing cockpit of the machine gun and first aimed at the zombies in front of the track and fired.

da da da da~
A burst of intense gunfire erupted.

The zombies ahead fell one by one, like wheat in autumn harvest.

Two minutes later.

The zombies in front of the track have been cleared away.

Xie Fei then had the little yellow ox turn the cart around and aim at the straight track ten meters away from the main track.

There were a large number of zombies on that straight road.

Da da da da—

Under the barrage of heavy machine guns and cannons, most of them were killed in less than five minutes.

This temporarily cut off the zombies' path to the railway tracks.

Seeing this, Xie Fei looked at Zhou Tan and said, "Get out of the car!"

Zhou Tan pushed open the rear door of the armored vehicle. As soon as he opened the door, he was met by three zombies that were about to crawl into the vehicle.

There was also a King Kong zombie among them.

bang bang bang~
Zhou Tan and his men quickly opened fire, their automatic rifles switching to burst mode. They killed two zombies.

The Vajra zombie was incredibly fast. At such close range, it grabbed the gun from Duan Hong's hand and pulled it away.

The gun in Duan Hong's hand was snatched away by it.

pat~
It threw Duan Hong's gun outside and was about to grab Duan Hong.

Seeing this, Zhou Tan quickly kicked the King Kong zombie off the car.

Then he jumped out of the car.

bang~
Aim at its head and shoot it dead.

Having done all this, he was about to turn around and deal with the zombies that had come running from both sides of the car after hearing the noise.

But he was tackled to the ground by a zombie on the roof of the car.

Grass!
Upon seeing this, the little yellow ox and Zhao Bing quickly ran off the vehicle.

Just then, as Zhou Tan was pounced on by the zombie, he immediately pulled a dagger from his thigh and plunged it into the zombie's head.

The zombie's brains splattered onto his combat helmet.

He quickly got up and wiped his helmet with his hand, but the zombie's slime was really disgusting.

Even after being soaked by the rain, he wiped it and it was still hard to see clearly.

It's sticky and disgusting.

Besides, it's raining now.

He found it very troublesome, so he simply took off his helmet and threw it on the ground.

After seeing that he was alright, Zhao Bing and Xiao Huangniu, who had jumped out of the car, quickly started fighting.

Snap snap snap~
They shot the zombies on both sides of the vehicle.

Although we just killed a lot of zombies with heavy machine guns and cannons, there are still some zombies in the blind spot of the vehicle, too close to the vehicle for the heavy machine guns to hit.

call--

Zhou Tan exhaled a puff of white mist; it was really cold outside.

The icy rain soaked his hair in just a few seconds.

It even flowed down his neck and onto his inner clothes.

cold.

He shivered from the cold.

But he had no time to worry about that. Braving the torrential rain, he squinted at the scattered zombies running around and began to shoot them.

Duan Hong also jumped down, picked up the gun on the ground, and joined the battle to stop the zombies.

With the four of them opening up the situation, Xie Fei and the others who came down later faced much less pressure.

After Xie Fei got off the vehicle, he shot at the zombies around him while looking for an opportunity to climb onto the roof.

Under the fire of the armored vehicle's heavy machine gun and Zhou Tan's group, the number of zombies around them dwindled.

Xie Fei stood on the roof of the car; from his high vantage point, he could see further.

The zombies on the straight road were almost all killed during this time, with only a small number of King Kong zombies running into the bushes, presumably to ambush from there.

The zombies before and after the track were mostly killed.

"Zhou Tan, watch out for the bushes over there. The King Kong zombies might attack from there."

"Yes!" Zhou Tan wiped the rain off his face and, with Duan Hong in tow, kept a close eye on the bushes.

A few seconds later.

Sure enough, four giant zombies sprang out from the bushes.

These giant zombies had incredible jumping ability and leaped directly in front of Zhou Tan.

In his haste, Zhou Tan was about to shoot the Vajra zombie.

But the Vajra zombie grabbed the muzzle of the gun and pulled hard, dragging Zhou Tan directly over.

Zhou Tan swayed as he watched the zombies getting closer and closer; he could even smell the stench of decay emanating from their mouths.

His heart felt as if it were being held captive.

Grass!
He quickly released the gun he was gripping and shifted his body as far to the right as possible.

thump!
He was thrown face-first into the dirt, looking extremely awful.

However, the Vajra zombie did not pause at all. Having failed in its first attack, it quickly pounced on the enemy.

The King Kong zombie is even faster than the speed-type zombie.

In his haste, Zhou Tan had no choice but to use his hands to defend himself, pressing firmly against the King Kong zombie's neck to prevent it from biting his face.

Smelly!
It smells absolutely terrible.

At such close range, the sticky liquid from the King Kong zombie's mouth dripped onto his face, mixing with the rain, making him feel nauseous and want to vomit.

He tried to draw the gun from his waist with one hand, but the strength of this giant zombie was simply too great.

Once one hand was freed, the King Kong zombie immediately pressed down on it.

The giant zombie's claws reached for his face, *sizzle*
The claws tore his ear.

At this critical moment, he saw a bloody hole appear on the head of the Vajra zombie.

Immediately afterwards, he heard a gunshot.

bang~
It was Xie Fei, who was kneeling on the roof of the car, who shot and killed the Vajra zombie, saving him.

He quickly pushed the Vajra zombie to the ground.

The remaining three Vajra zombies were also killed by Zhao Bing and his group.

These giant zombies are easy to shoot from a distance, but if you get too close, you can't even react in time.

too fast!
Xiao Huangniu and Duan Hong came over and helped him up.

"Are you alright?" the little yellow ox asked with some concern.

Zhou Tan was panting heavily. He touched his aching ear, and his hands, which were covered in blood, touched his ear.

"I just got my ear scratched by a King Kong zombie, I..."

As Zhou Tan said "Ah," a black line appeared on his face.

The pupils dilated rapidly, turning white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This is bad." The little yellow ox's expression changed drastically when it saw his condition.

"He's going to turn into a zombie!"

"Quickly, hold him down and inject him with the antidote for zombies!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Hong quickly dragged him to the side of the car and pinned him to the ground.

The little yellow ox quickly ran to the car and rummaged through the first-aid kit to find the antidote for zombies.

"Medicine, medicine, medicine."

"found it!"

After finding the medicine, the little yellow calf quickly jumped off the car.

At that moment, Zhou Tan's eyeballs had turned completely white.

The number of viruses inside this King Kong zombie is extremely high. Unlike ordinary zombies, which won't turn into zombies if they grab someone, this type of zombie has a limited number of viruses and cannot turn people into zombies.

And this Vajra Zombie is like a Poison King.

Even a scratch from its claws, as long as it breaks the skin, will turn you into a lifeless zombie in less than a minute.

"Someone come quick, I can't hold him down any longer!" Duan Hong shouted.

Xie Fei, on the roof of the vehicle, continued shooting at the zombies while keeping an eye on the situation.

"Someone go help!"

The mechanics in the repair truck behind quickly ran down.

Several people held down Zhou Tan's head, arms, and legs respectively.
Zhou Tan, now a zombie, possessed immense strength; it took three or four people to hold him down.

The little yellow ox took out the syringe and, without hesitation, plunged it into his carotid artery, injecting the medicine into the wound.

A few seconds later.

Zhou Tan, who had been struggling, stopped moving.

The calf took a rope from the vehicle, tied him up, and carried him inside.

Now, all we can do is wait.

bang bang bang~
The gunfire continued.

However, the number of zombies dwindled until only a few remained, gradually emerging from the straight path.

Xie Fei stood on the car, surveying the entire situation.

Seeing that there were very few zombies left, he shouted to Duan Lin:

"Old Duan, hurry up and start repairing the rails. There's been such a commotion here. We don't know if there are any other zombies around. If there are, more zombies might come later. You guys need to start repairing the rails right away!"

"Okay." Duan Lin quickly instructed the maintenance technician to bring down the prepared materials.

"Zihao, unload the things from the car, quick!"

He took a powerful flashlight, squatted down, and carefully inspected the damage to the rails along the tracks.
