Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

The iron ore mine is located more than 100 kilometers away from Dazhangshu.

The rain poured down, and amidst the rain, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of roasted, rotting corpses, a smell that mingled with the stench of gunpowder.

The mine and the surrounding area were littered with the corpses of zombies.

Crunch, crunch~
Several armored vehicles ran over the zombie corpses and drove to the center of the bombing.

The helicopter in the air also landed at this time.

Ma Di, along with Du Ruchen and Wang Yin, three zombie researchers, immediately ran over.

The bombardment was incredibly powerful, blasting the zombie mother and the "Guardian" corpse in that area to smithereens.

At the center of the explosion, a giant crater more than one meter deep and more than ten meters in diameter was formed.

Maddie, wearing gloves, crouched down to examine the remains of the body.

“This should be the tentacle of the mother zombie.” He poked the tentacle with a metal clamp.

The tentacles are soft, with a slightly charred surface.

He quickly put the tentacle into a transparent packaging bag.

He was about to stand up when he noticed a combatant standing next to him, staring at him.

"What are you going to do?" Madi asked, looking at the combat personnel behind him with suspicion.

The combatant, holding an automatic rifle, gestured towards the surrounding zombie corpses with his lip, "Protect your safety."

Looking at the scattered remains of the body, Maddie said, "They're all rotten like this, what danger could they possibly pose?"

Despite saying that, he still didn't stop the combat personnel from protecting him.

Not far away.

Bi Tianxing got off the helicopter and was about to light a cigarette, but he had to put it away because of the heavy rain.

call--

"We finally took down this zombie mother. If we hadn't brought the behemoth along, it would have been much more difficult," Bi Tianxing muttered.

Xiao Jun also got off the armored vehicle and came to Bi Tianxing's side.

Looking at the group packing up the fragments of the zombie mother and the "Guardian" zombie, he said to Bi Tianxing:
"Brother Bi, the tungsten mine should be safe now, right?"

Bi Tianxing narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly:

"Probably. This is the closest iron mine to the tungsten mine. The zombies from the iron mines further away shouldn't have come this far."

"However, we're probably going to be busy from now on. There are several iron mines around the Big Camphor Tree headquarters base. According to the leader, we need to eliminate all the mother zombies in these iron mines."

"There are also two large iron mines. I estimate that the zombie mothers there are even more powerful, and the zombie hordes will be even larger."

Xiao Jun took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said:

"However, we have finally found the best way to deal with the King Kong zombies. As long as we kill the zombie mother, the number of King Kong zombies will not increase so much."

Bi Tianxing's eyes held a complex expression, and he said with some worry:
"I'm afraid that after the iron mine is cleared, a new zombie mother will take over."

Xiao Jun was taken aback upon hearing this; he had only just realized this possibility.

After a moment of silence, he said:
"However, it will take time, won't it?"

Just then, Maddie, who had been studying the zombie mother's corpse, ran over.

"There's something we need the two captains to do."

"What?" the two asked in unison, both looking at him.

Maddi pointed to the iron ore mine several hundred meters away and said:

"The zombie mother's eggs should be placed inside the mine. There should be a large number of King Kong zombie eggs inside. Those eggs must be destroyed, otherwise they will form King Kong zombies."

"Yes. When you go in, be careful that some eggs might be there."

As he spoke, his expression suddenly brightened, and he continued:
“I’ll go with you. It’ll be a good opportunity to observe the environment where the King Kong zombie eggs are located up close.”

He shouted to Du Ruchen behind him:

"Xiao Du, bring your photography equipment and come with me to the mine."

Wang Yin looked up and asked, "Dean, what about me?"

"You stay here and continue collecting fragments of the zombie mother. Remember not to collect the same fragment twice. Just take a few pieces from each part. Also, look for the core spine of the zombie mother."

Looking at the fragments of the mother structure scattered all over the ground, Wang Yin thought, "I'm all alone..."

Madi waved his hand and said, "You can ask the combat personnel next to you to help you collect it. Use your brain."

Du Ruchen ran over carrying a camera, his face full of excitement.

"What do you think it's like inside the mine, Director?"

"How should I know? I'll only know once I'm inside," Madi rolled his eyes.

Xiao Jun looked at Bi Tianxing, who nodded, indicating that he could make the decision.

Xiao Jun was also very curious about what the inside of the mine was like, so he thought he would personally lead a team to explore it.

He got into the armored vehicle, called Zheng Lang and a 20-man squad, and drove Ma Di and Du Ruchen towards the mine.

On the open ground opposite the mine.

Three armored vehicles overturned under the impact of the "Guardian" zombies, and the people inside escaped.

"Damn, those golden zombies are insane, they're so strong." A combat soldier stood next to the armored vehicle, looking back at the vehicle with lingering fear.

The armored vehicle even had dents on its surface, all caused by the impact of the "Guardian" zombies.

This is armor; it can't be penetrated by bullets of normal caliber.

However, the impact of the "Guardian" zombies created a crater several miles deep.

It's easy to imagine how powerful the "Guardian" zombies are.

"Make way, make way."

Just then, two combatants came forward and attached a tow rope to the overturned armored vehicle.

They need to flip these armored vehicles over again.

The armored vehicle was very robust; even after it overturned, it did not explode.

However, the surface is pitted and uneven, and when it rains, it gets covered with a lot of black iron ore residue.

the other side.

Xiao Jun led twenty combat personnel and researchers to the cave entrance.

After the zombie mother screamed, they saw many zombies running out of the mine, but they couldn't be sure if all the zombies inside had escaped.

Xiao Jun instructed the team members behind him:

"In the event of encountering zombies, we must ensure the safety of these two researchers."

"Yes," many team members responded.

Zheng Lang then led the way into the mine.

There were lights in the mine, but when they checked the electrical system, they found that it had all been destroyed by the zombies occupying the place.

Helpless, they could only bring flashlights inside.

Zheng Lang walked at the front, side by side with another combatant.

The headlamp shone on the black iron mine walls, which, being dark, absorbed light, making the entire mine appear extremely eerie.

After walking a few steps inside, they saw that the cave walls were covered with silvery-white mucus, with threads connecting the mucus.

"That's fucking disgusting." Zheng Lang touched the slime and wiped it on the heel of his shoe.

Click click~
Du Ruchen frantically took pictures of the walls inside the mine.

"Come on, give me some extra light."

The combat personnel next to him quickly shone a light on him.

Maddie then carefully used tweezers to pick up the mucus and put it into a glass test tube.

The slime was just too sticky, and it stretched into a thread that was almost a meter long.

Maddie stirred it, adding the slime.

After walking several dozen meters, they encountered a large amount of slime on the ground ahead, making it impossible for them to walk side by side. They had no choice but to proceed in a single file.

Zheng Lang suddenly felt a draft in his hand. When he looked down, he discovered a hole in the glove that had been covered in the sticky substance he had accidentally touched earlier.

He quickly took off his gloves and looked around at the slime with lingering fear.

"Luckily I didn't get it on my hands. Damn."

He handed the gloves to Xiao Jun, whose expression changed drastically upon seeing them.

He shouted to the crowd behind him:
"Be careful, this slime is corrosive, don't touch it."

Maddie guessed from behind:

"It is corrosive and should be the same liquid that was sprayed by the zombie mother earlier."

"It's so corrosive that it can digest iron ore."

Xiao Jun nodded and reminded everyone again, "Be careful."

The group continued forward, and after walking another ten meters or so, a huge pit appeared ahead.

Xiao Jun shone a powerful flashlight inside, and on the walls of the pit, there were eggs stuck to the walls by silvery-white thread-like substances.

These eggs are over a meter tall, and nothing can be seen from the outside; they are all wrapped in silvery-white filaments.

Xiao Jun pulled a dagger from his thigh and said to the people around him:
"Step back."

The crowd stepped back, and he stepped forward, using his dagger to cut at the silvery-white thread-like substance on it.

It's been cut open.

But when he cut it, he could clearly feel that such a fine thread had the same toughness as nylon rope.

That's impressive; such a fine thread, yet so strong.

Zheng Lang, who was standing nearby, leaned over and asked:
"Brother Jun, if this silk is so hard to cut, it seems very valuable."

It's truly remarkable that a thread as thin as a human hair can be so resilient.

"Everyone, collect some and bring them back to headquarters later!" Xiao Jun said to everyone.

"Yes, Commander."

Maddie also came over and used specialized equipment to examine the biological state inside the eggshell.

He looked at the image displayed on the dashboard as the equipment was imaging.

They exclaimed in amazement:
"It's truly amazing that these Vajra zombies are actually obtaining developmental energy from the ore."

Click click click~
Just then, a cracking sound came from the previously silent mine.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and their eyes quickly locked onto the eggs on the cave wall.

Click click click click click~
The sound of the shell breaking became increasingly louder.

After searching by everyone, they finally found the source of the sound.

A shell, wrapped in filamentous material, slowly swelled up.

The King Kong zombie inside was writhing.

click!
It broke open.

"The King Kong zombie is coming out!" Zheng Lang quickly raised his gun, ready to shoot at the zombie.

"Wait," Maddie said anxiously, stopping him.

"This kind of scene is rare. We must observe clearly how the King Kong zombie comes out so that we can find a way to find its weakness."

Zheng Lang ignored him and continued to raise his gun towards the Vajra zombie that was about to hatch, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Jun.

He listened to Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun nodded to him, "Everyone keep a close eye on it. Once this King Kong zombie comes out, shoot it immediately."

"Yes!" the team members responded.

"Quick, quick, capture it all!" Ma Di said excitedly to Du Ruchen, who was holding the camera.

Du Ruchen didn't dare get too close, but he zoomed in on the camera and could see it just as clearly.

After the egg inside the filamentous material burst open, the Vajra zombie inside didn't seem to be in a hurry to come out.

Instead, it emitted a crunching, gnawing sound.

Listening to the sounds inside, Maddie narrowed his eyes and guessed:

"It seems that after the King Kong zombie is born, it will eat its own shell, just like a snail. The shell on the back of a newly born snail is soft and fragile. It needs to ingest calcium from the eggshell to promote the development and hardening of its shell, so it will eat its own eggshell."

A few minutes later.

It seemed that the eggshell inside had been eaten, and the giant zombie inside struggled to break free.

tearing~
The zombie's arm tore through the filaments, revealing its head.

After the Vajra zombie poked its head out, it seemed a little uncomfortable and continued to struggle.

Zheng Lang and the others were extremely nervous, after all, they had personally experienced the power of the King Kong zombie many times.

Moreover, they were now in such a narrow pit, and the pressure of facing the King Kong zombies was immense.

"Don't shoot yet, wait a bit longer." Maddie, standing to the side, was extremely excited and even leaned closer to observe the Vajra zombie's escape.

"This newborn Vajra zombie's body is already similar to that of a regular Vajra zombie, which indicates that their size is limited."

"Looking at its surface skin, it is still quite soft. It seems that the King Kong Zombie was relatively weak when it was first born."

"Look, it's not just eating the eggshells, it's eating all the filamentous things that wrap around them too."

Click click~
The group stopped in their tracks and watched silently as the Vajra zombie ate the filamentous substance.

What intrigued them was that despite being so close, the Vajra zombie showed no sign of noticing them.

Could it be that newly born King Kong zombies don't have hearing or smell?

Unexpectedly.

After finishing the filamentous substance, the Vajra zombie slowly turned around. After it had devoured the filaments, its skin seemed to undergo some subtle changes.

It turned around, moved its nose in a very human-like manner, and then raised its head to look at Xiao Jun and the others.

An innate hunger surged within it, driving the Vajra zombie mad.

Roar!
It bared its fine, sharp teeth, roared at the crowd, and charged toward the nearest Madi.

Maddie quickly backed away.

boom!
A bullet pierced through the newly hatched King Kong zombie.

thump!
The King Kong zombie fell to the ground.

Maddie quickly went over and pinched the skin of the King Kong zombie with his gloved hand.

"It seems that the skin of newly hatched King Kong zombies is still relatively fragile, and its hardness is completely incomparable to those King Kong zombies we have seen outside."

"How do they increase hardness?" Xiao Jun asked from the side.

After a moment's thought, Maddie said:
"It must have taken in the Di element after it went out and was in the sea fog, which is why it became harder."

"Should we dispose of these eggs now?" Zheng Lang asked.

They'd been watching the King Kong zombie spawn for almost half an hour, and he just couldn't stand it anymore.

This is just one of the mine shafts; there are at least seven or eight mine shafts in this mine.

They will all have to deal with them one by one later.

I don't have time to linger here any longer.

Xiao Jun looked at Ma Di and said:
"We'll leave you a few zombie eggs, and we'll take care of the rest."

“Yes, sure.” Madi naturally had no objections.

Their purpose in coming here was to destroy the mother plant that produces the King Kong zombies and to eliminate the developing zombie eggs.

There are hundreds of these eggs in the entire mine, and they can easily kill a King Kong zombie with a single shot.

This is much simpler than shooting a fully grown King Kong zombie from the wall.

bang bang bang~
Then, a barrage of gunfire erupted inside the mine.
