Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

A gunshot shattered the peaceful rainy night.

Then, da da da da—

A barrage of gunfire followed.

Everyone in the group turned their gazes southward.

Ant frowned slightly and said to the rest of the group:

"Everyone, hurry up and get back to the car as soon as possible."

At the ants' urging, the group quickened their pace and ran towards the entrance gate of Danxia Mountain.

However, due to the slippery roads caused by the rain, coupled with the fact that the roads were already difficult to navigate, they did not travel very fast.

As the ants cleared the way, they used their communicators to contact the judges:
"Judge, what's going on? The gunshots were coming from your side."

sizzle-

The judge's voice was somewhat hurried, perhaps because the signal wasn't very good due to the rain; his words were intermittent.

"The King Kong zombies from the mine are coming over. You...you need to come back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the ant's expression changed.

What you fear most is what comes to pass.

Their biggest fear at the time was alerting the King Kong zombie horde on the iron mine eight kilometers away.

Eliminating those Vajra zombies would bring them no benefit. As long as the zombie mother exists, Vajra zombies will continue to appear. Moreover, this Vajra zombie horde is not near the big camphor tree, so there is no need to clear them out.

Therefore, I absolutely do not want to provoke anyone if I can avoid it.

the other side.

Both the Jackal and Nut teams received a message from the Judge, telling them to be careful on their return journey.

At the entrance of Danxia Mountain Scenic Area, there is a gate about ten meters high and open. The gate is made of granite, and behind it is a huge stone, dark red in color, with the three characters "Danxia Mountain" written on it.

In front of the entrance, there is a platform open space of several thousand square meters.

The land battleship was parked on the open ground of the platform, with a transport vehicle on each side.

The heavy machine guns on both sides of the land battleship and the two light machine guns at the front of the vehicle had already opened fire, shooting in the opposite direction from the entrance.

Da da da da—

Bullets flew like water, hitting the charging King Kong zombies.

The judge frowned and gave the order:
"Su Yuan, Xiong Wei, you two guard the entrance to Danxia Mountain. Make sure the King Kong zombies don't enter the Danxia Mountain scenic area. Cover Ant and the others' return."

"Yes."

"clear."

The two mechs that were originally standing on either side of the transport vehicle immediately moved to either side of the entrance to Danxia Mountain.

After making his arrangements, the judge kept his eyes fixed on the display screen.

On the screen, hundreds of King Kong zombies were running from the south—the direction they had just entered Danxia Mountain.

However, under the barrage of two heavy machine guns and two light machine guns, the rhythm of these Vajra zombies suddenly came to a halt.

Drop drop-

The intelligent system emitted a sound:

"The zombies detected are moving quickly and in large numbers. We recommend activating heavy artillery. Do you wish to proceed?"

"No!" the judge refused without hesitation.

Just kidding!
The direction from which those Vajra zombies came is also the direction they will leave in later.

If they were to bombard the area with heavy artillery, leaving the ground cratered and uneven, their vehicle might still be able to move, but how would the two transport trucks behind them manage to leave?

If you get blown into a crater half a meter deep, then don't go anywhere.

"Okay," the intelligent system replied.

When the judge heard it say "okay," he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If it's good, then it's good. But the way they insist on saying "good" and the tone they use always make him feel like the AI ​​system is gloating.

"Activate the close-in weapon system!"

Although the name of the close-in weapon system includes "cannon," its shells are all 30mm tungsten carbide alloy armor-piercing projectiles.

These armor-piercing rounds do not explode, but they have extremely high armor-piercing capabilities and can effectively kill King Kong zombies.

"Good drop."

A moment later, the intelligent system located the target and adjusted the height and angle of the close-in weapon system.

"Adjustments complete. Proceed with firing?"

"start!"

"Good drop."

Da da da da da—

In an instant, the rainy night was illuminated by the fire of the close-in weapon system.

With a rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, the close-in weapon system, under the control of the intelligent system, was extremely efficient in killing the King Kong zombies.

These hundreds of Vajra zombies all ran up from the main road, forming a dense, dark mass. Tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets often penetrated one Vajra zombie and, without losing power, would often shoot at the zombies behind it.

It can even hit three or four zombies at most.

Tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets are extremely powerful; a 30mm caliber bullet can penetrate them and blow open the upper body of a King Kong zombie.

Even just a graze on the shoulder could blow half of a zombie's body to smithereens.

In less than ten seconds, hundreds of King Kong zombies were directly disrupted by thousands of bullets from the close-in weapon system.

The remaining dozens of Vajra zombies are no threat at all!
Just let the light machine gun fire.

Inside the land battleship, Judge witnessed hundreds of small red dots disappear, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He never imagined that the combination of close-in weapon systems and intelligent systems could unleash such power.

Although the zombie horde that came this time was relatively concentrated, the close-in weapon system itself has a relatively fast rate of fire, making it extremely suitable for use in such densely packed zombie situations.

However, this kill efficiency is many times higher than their manual control.

A crisis was thus resolved in a seemingly effortless manner.

Su Yuan, who was at the entrance of Danxia Mountain, was able to see the situation of the zombies in the distance through infrared thermal imaging from inside his mecha.

After witnessing the power of the close-in weapon system firsthand, he couldn't help but gasp in amazement:

"Wow, that's incredible! You don't need our help at all!"

In the sky.

He Ma, who was piloting the sustainable version of the helicopter, also noticed the situation below.

He had initially thought the judge would ask him to provide air support, to fly low to the ground and use machine guns to strafe the zombies.

But now it seems that with the firepower of the behemoth, it's completely unnecessary.

Another few minutes passed.

Under the barrage of light and heavy machine gun fire, the remaining dozens of King Kong zombies were also wiped out.

The remaining twenty or thirty Vajra zombies on the screen were crawling on the ground. It looked like their bodies had been blown apart, but their heads were still intact. However, these zombies were not to be feared because they could not get up.

The judge smacked his lips and looked in the direction of the headquarters.

"This He Bing is really a talent. The Military Industry Department is indeed awesome."

With such overwhelming firepower, coupled with the meticulously designed shooting missions by the intelligent system, the efficiency of the behemoth is countless times higher than that of manual control. Using it to suppress zombies is like an adult man fighting a three-year-old child with an axe.

One-sided crushing defeat.

If the land battleships had been equipped with intelligent control systems when dealing with the zombie hordes around the iron mines, it would have saved a lot of effort.

Twenty minutes later.

The ant, the nut, and the jackal met up on the main road of the scenic area.

After crossing a main road several hundred meters long, they arrived at a platform outside the scenic area.

Ant and his men originally thought they would have a tough battle upon arrival, as landing on the land battleship would be very troublesome. However, to their surprise, the gunfire stopped.

"What happened? Is the battle over?" the ant asked.

Nuts wasn't sure either, so he said, "Let's get on the bus first and figure it out later."

The group quickly ran to the hatch at the bottom of the land battleship.

Even before the judge on the giant saw them, he had already ordered the escalator to be lowered.

Ant changed out of the King Kong suit on the first floor, wearing only thermal underwear, and came to the control area on the second floor. He saw the calm Judge and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say there were hundreds of King Kong zombies? Did you take care of them?"

"It's resolved." The judge nodded.

"The intelligent control system produced by this headquarters is more powerful than I imagined, with a very high hit rate. Just now, we used the close-in weapon system, and a volley of fire took down those zombies in less than ten seconds."

"That's awesome?!" Ant exclaimed in shock.

Old Qin, who stayed behind, also said:
"I just witnessed it with my own eyes, the judge. How could it be fake?"

The judge, seeing the two who arrived later, Nut and Jackal, asked:
"How's your search going? Have you found it?"

The two shook their heads helplessly. The judge took a deep breath and said:

"Alright. Is the hatch closed? If it is, let's get out of here."

Although they weren't afraid of the King Kong zombies, they were relatively close to the King Kong zombie horde, and they didn't want to waste bullets if another wave of King Kong zombies came later.

This mission is going to be very long, so they need to conserve ammunition as much as possible for the future.

"It's shut down, and the mechs have been returned to their positions on the transport vehicle."

"Row."

The judge then called upon the intelligent control system, "Hello, Xiao Zhi, proceed to Sanya."

"Okay~"

Please select a route.

"Article Three."

"Okay, we're heading to Sanya. There are 900 kilometers left to go, and we expect to arrive at our destination in 74 hours."

The vehicle started slowly and headed south at a speed of fifteen kilometers per hour.

After using it for a day, the judge gradually got used to the application of the intelligent system, and it must be said that voice control is very convenient.

He even thought that he could drive this behemoth all by himself.

There's absolutely no need for that many people.

The two transport vehicles followed closely behind the land battleship.

Heading south.

After 20 hours, they arrived at the capital of Guangdong Province.

However, they did not pass through the provincial capital city center, but instead took the national highways surrounding the provincial capital.

Try to avoid dense hordes of zombies.

But since there was no way to avoid it, they used land battleships to clear out the zombie hordes.

They encountered a horde of tens of thousands of zombies along the way, but thanks to the land battleship's extremely strong defensive capabilities, the vehicle continued to move as usual.

In contrast, the two transport vehicles behind them even required fire support from land battleships.

The mechs on the transport vehicle had to get off to protect the vehicle's safety.

This annoyed the judge; he regretted not letting the mecha accompany the team.

If the mechs don't come along to help, then there's no need to arrange two more transport vehicles for shipping.

With only one land battleship, there's nothing to fear; just crush it.

With the assistance of the intelligent control system, the passengers were relatively relaxed.

Two people were assigned to watch the display screens in case the intelligent control system on the land battleship malfunctioned, while the others could get some rest.

Time passed second by second.

They also arrived in Yangjiang, in southern Guangdong Province.

Yangjiang is located on the coast, and this area is greatly affected by sea fog.

Large swathes of buildings were eroded by the sea fog, and the building complexes collapsed.

The ruins are covered with mutated plants, making it impossible to tell that this was once a city.

In the car.

Yao Ji looked at the map on the screen and asked:

"Commander, are we in Yangjiang now?"

"Yes, what? Do you want to go down and look for it?" the judge asked in return.

"Let's look for it."

Along the way, almost every few hours they would get out of the car to look for mutated crops around the road and test them with D-Element detection spray, but without exception, none of these mutated plants had D-Solid Protein.

The judge then ordered the vehicle to stop, just as before.

The ant, the nut, and the jackal were each assigned a team to disembark and search separately.

The two mechs were also sent over.

Since I've already brought it along, it's bound to come in handy eventually.

Previously, in Danxia Mountain, due to the rugged terrain, the mechs had difficulty moving around, so Su Yuan and the others were not allowed to go out with the team.

They were less than 2 kilometers from the beach at that time.

After Ant and the others got off the bus, they headed straight for the seaside.

Because they need to investigate variant plants in a variety of different environments as much as possible.

The concentration of D-elements is high near the sea, so theoretically, this area is more likely to produce mutant crops containing D-elements-fixed proteins.

The jackal, leading an eight-man team, arrived at the beach, only two hundred meters from the sea, after a half-hour raid.

Agricultural expert Tong Guirang stopped the jackal and began to examine the mutated crops around it.

"This area mainly grows Kandelia candel, mangroves, bald cypress, and tung trees. Please spread out as much as possible and try different mutated plants with the test reagents you use."

The jackal couldn't help but say:
"We can't recognize it either, especially since we can't see anything right now, we can only get a rough shape from the thermal imaging."

"Then we can collect these plant leaves first and take them back for testing," Tong Gui replied.

Just then, Su Yuan beside him reminded him:

“Jackal, there’s a large zombie on the beach. It seems to have spotted us and is heading this way.”

"What?" The jackal suddenly raised its head and looked towards the sea.

In the sea fog, they could see nothing with the naked eye and could only rely on thermal imaging and night vision goggles in their helmets to discern their surroundings.

In the thermal imaging, a huge creature was seen emerging from the sea and running towards them.

Just by looking at the shape, they couldn't tell what it was at all.

In the sea fog, this thing must be a zombie animal, but they didn't know what kind of zombie animal it was.

However, they knew that this behemoth was definitely beyond their ability to defeat.

"run!"

Without hesitation, the jackal gave the order to retreat.

"Aren't we going to look for mutated plants anymore?" a teammate asked.

"What a joke! Such a huge zombie animal, if it comes over, we're doomed. Run!"

Without saying a word, the jackal took off running towards the land battleship.

Seeing this, the other team members quickly followed.

Two other team members even pulled Tong Gui up, stuffed the leaves they had just picked into their backpacks, and ran after the jackals.

"Hurry up!"

Su Yuan glanced at the terrifying unknown creature.

The hand armor opened, and aiming at the unknown creature, it was about to fire the laser cannon.

The jackal running ahead, seeing his actions, couldn't help but curse:

"Su Yuan, are you looking for death? Run! Can the laser cannon kill it? If it doesn't, this creature will be enraged and will definitely chase even harder. Run!"

After saying that, he breathlessly used the communicator to contact the judge and told him about the discovery of an unknown giant creature that was over ten meters tall.

At the same time, let the ants and nuts return to the land battleship as soon as possible.

Such a massive, unknown creature would be difficult to kill with the automatic rifles they carried or the weapons on their mechs.

Only the heavy firepower of land-based battleships can destroy it.
