Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Headquarters Base of Dazhangshu.

More than a dozen helicopters returned and arrived at the helipad in the fourth outer city.

The red signal lights of the lighthouse flashed around the wide tarmac.

buzzing-

As soon as the helicopter landed on the helipad, a group of people ran over from a row of houses on the right side of the helipad.

They were wearing reflective vests with the words "Helicopter Maintenance Team" written on them.

Qu Xing stretched in the helicopter; he had slept the whole way back and had a very comfortable sleep.

As soon as I got off the helicopter, I saw Sun De, the deputy leader of the maintenance team, outside the helicopter.

"Old Qu, you're back so soon?" Sun De greeted Qu Xing with a smile as he saw him come down.

Qu Xing smiled and said, "Oh, it's Brother Sun. I just went to Shigatse and I estimate I'll be leading the team out again in a few hours."

Sun De nodded and said, "It should be. I received a message from above instructing me to lead a team to inspect and maintain all your helicopters within two hours."

"And I also saw the logistics department transporting things here, which will probably be loaded onto the helicopter soon."

Qu Xing clasped his hands in a fist salute to Sun De and said:
"Brother Sun, let's talk later. I need to go find Captain Bi first. I just got back and need to ask for instructions on the next steps."

"Alright, go ahead, I need to get busy too." Sun De instructed the surrounding maintenance team members:

"Zhang Ruo, Zhao Song, you two are in charge of the repairs."

The fourth outer city.

Flight Squadron Headquarters Building.

Over the years, Dazhangshu has acquired more than two hundred helicopters, almost all of which were found at military bases.

The reason they didn't have fighter jets or anti-tank aircraft is because they couldn't find them.

Before the apocalypse, most ordinary military bases and border defense bases did not have fighter jets. In these types of bases, the air force was almost entirely helicopters, with a small number of fixed-wing service aircraft.

As for fighter jets, they are concentrated only at air force bases, in small numbers, and in concentrated locations, not everywhere.

Of the more than 200 helicopters owned by Dazhangshu, nearly half have been converted into sustainable helicopters.

It's not that they don't want to modify all the helicopters, but some smaller helicopters don't have enough space to fit the zombie generator, which wouldn't be able to support the power required for the helicopter to operate on pure electric power.

After Qu Xing left the tarmac, he headed straight for the flight squadron headquarters building, which was not far from the tarmac.

In its early years, the flight squadron only had a few dozen pilots, all of whom were brought over by Bi Tianxing.

Today, the number of pilots has grown from dozens to seven or eight hundred.

In addition to pilots, helicopter maintenance and repair departments are also under the management of the flight squadron.

Qu Xing arrived at Bi Tianxing's office and, as usual, walked in without knocking.

As soon as I entered, I saw Bi Tianxing lying on a chair, holding a cell phone in his hand, laughing heartily.

"Damn it, you didn't knock again!" Bi Tianxing was startled and rolled his eyes at the person who came in, complaining.

"Brother Bi, what's our next mission?" Qu Xing ignored Bi Tianxing's complaints, walked over to the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, and leaned against the table.

Bi Tianxing placed his phone on the table and said:

"Three hours later, you will take twenty-five helicopters to the snow area to meet up with Xiao Jun and his team. Once you arrive there, you will follow Xiao Jun's orders."

"By the way, take a few people with you this time."

"Who is it?" Qu Xing asked curiously upon hearing this.

Bi Tianxing scratched his head and said, "Two of them are from the General Staff Department, one is from the Inspection Department, and one is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"It is said that these people had quite a background before the apocalypse, and one of them was a political and legal official."

"Oh, don't worry about it. Just pick them up in the lobby of the First Outer City Administration Building when it's time."

"Here's their information, take a look for yourself." Bi Tianxing took a document from the drawer and threw it on the table.

Qu Xing quickly picked it up and opened it.

After reviewing these people's information, his expression changed.

"Looking at these people, I feel they're quite adept at factional infighting and sowing discord. Could it be that the higher-ups intend to send these people over there to divide the Sanjiang Stone Alliance?"

"Yeah, I think so too, but it's none of our business. Hurry up and get down, I get annoyed just looking at you!" Bi Tianxing waved his hand, signaling him to get down quickly.

Qu Xing picked up the documents and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask:

"Wait a minute, didn't I only bring back fifteen helicopters? How did it become twenty-five?"

Bi Tianxing coughed and explained:

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, a few days ago the commander ordered the reusable helicopters from the headquarters base, as well as helicopters from other branch bases, to be transferred back for centralized modification."

Ten more aircraft have been modified and are now capable of adapting to the extreme environment of the plateau. You will take them with you this time. As for the pilots for the mission, you can choose them yourself. Once you have selected them, just let me know, and I will notify them.

Qu Xing raised an eyebrow and moved closer.

"Then I'll start choosing now."

"Alright, come here."

Then, Qu Xing approached Bi Tianxing's computer, and Bi Tianxing pulled up a list of all the pilots in their flight squadron to show him.

A dozen minutes later, Qu Xing selected sixty pilots.

"Are you sure you want these people?"

"determine."

"Okay, wait here for a moment, I'll have them come over."

Bi Tianxing made a phone call using a landline, summoned someone, and then instructed that person to call the people on the list.

soon.

Half an hour later, these people arrived.

Bi Tianxing relayed the mission orders to them and then told them to go back and prepare, and to assemble at the helipad in two hours.

Three hours later,
Twenty-five sustainable helicopters took off from the fourth outer city helipad.

The sight of more than twenty helicopters taking off simultaneously sparked a flurry of discussion among the residents of the large camphor tree.

"Holy crap, what's going on now? So many helicopters taking off at the same time."

"I don't know, it must be some big mission. Didn't they send a large army to the snow area a while ago? I guess these helicopters are also supporting the snow area."

"Oh, I remember now, it seems like that happened. I even went to the square back then, and our leader even gave a speech on stage."

Inside the helicopter, Qu Xing sat in the co-pilot's seat, handing over the piloting duties to his subordinate, Song Ning.

He glanced at the electronic beacon, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Attention all units, keep your devices in good working order."

"receive."

"receive."

"receive."

Qu Xing glanced at the time on his watch; it was 8:30 PM.

It is estimated that it will take fifteen hours to arrive, which will be around 11:00 AM the next day.

Unfortunately, the headquarters base in Dazhangshu is too far from the snowy area.

It's over 3800 kilometers away. Even if they maintain a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, it would still take them more than ten hours to get there.

However, Xiao Jun and his team carried electronic beacons, so the helicopter squadron only needed to fly directly to the location of the electronic beacons.

Having spent a lot of time in helicopters, Qu Xing got used to the feeling of weightlessness in them.

He observed for a while in the co-pilot's position, then had the other pilots in the cockpit take over. This time, there were a total of twenty-five helicopters, each with an average of five pilots, for a total of 125 pilots.

The perpetual helicopter differs from ordinary helicopters in that it can remain airborne indefinitely without landing, allowing it to fly continuously overhead and create immense pressure on the enemy.

In reality, the continuous flight time of a sustainable helicopter has never exceeded two months.

However, the judge and others had previously spent as long as a month and a half in a permanent helicopter while carrying out missions.

A month and a half. It's definitely not enough to rely on just one person to fly it, even if the helicopter has intelligent assisted piloting functions.

With five people taking turns driving, each person's driving time can be reduced to less than five hours per day.

Five hours of flying is still within an acceptable range for these pilots.

the next morning.

The army marched in a grand procession along the national highway on the banks of the Lancang River.

Xiao Jun sat in the car, feeling a little dizzy.

"The entire army will take a ten-minute break," Xiao Jun said to the communications officer behind him.

"Ok."

The communications officer immediately relayed Xiao Jun's orders to the various brigades behind him via radio.

The brigade leader then relayed the order to each vehicle below.

More than a thousand vehicles all stopped.

For a moment, many people ran out of the car to relax.

Chen Dachui got out of the car and found Xie Zihao from the neighboring brigade to complain:

"Damn it, these past few days have been so bumpy, I feel like throwing up from all the car rides!"

Chen Dachui ripped open his collar, looking as if all his energy had been drained.

Xie Zihao also smiled wryly, "Who says otherwise? I feel like my whole body is about to fall apart."

The two men faced the Lancang River, smoking and urinating at the same time.

The river was surging, and the national highway was full of people releasing water.

Ten minutes later.

Under Xiao Jun's orders, more than a thousand vehicles set off again.

11:00 AM.

The correspondent received Qu Xing's message and quickly informed Xiao Jun.

"Commander, Qu Xing and the others will arrive here in about 40 minutes."

"Okay." Xiao Jun nodded and closed his eyes to rest.

These days, they basically drive during the day and camp out at night.

Normally, a short trip of two or three days wouldn't be so physically demanding.

However, driving for six or seven days straight is extremely exhausting.

They will arrive at Sanjiang Stone Alliance today, and according to the plan, they will directly encounter Sanjiang Stone Alliance today.

There's definitely no time to rest, but with superior equipment and firepower, there shouldn't be any problems.

Forty minutes later.

Twenty-five helicopters flew in from the east, and Qu Xing led the helicopter squadron back to its unit.

At this point, including the three helicopters remaining here, there were a total of twenty-eight helicopters, all fully loaded with ammunition.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

They are located only 20 kilometers away from Sanjiang Shimeng.

Upon seeing the main force arrive, Zhou Dafu, the vanguard commander, immediately headed towards the convoy.

Zhou Dafu arrived five hours earlier than the main force. In those five hours, they had already scouted the first checkpoint of the Sanjiang Stone Alliance ahead, which was also the base of the Iron Wolf Gang.

"Commander, Zhou Dafu is here."

Xiao Jun nodded. "Let him get in the car."

"Never mind, I'll go see him this afternoon. Also, have Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu, and the captains of each combat brigade come over; I'll talk to them."

"Ok."

Xiao Jun got off the armored vehicle and saw Zhou Dafu walking towards him.

"Commander." Zhou Dafu walked up to Xiao Jun:
"The first checkpoint of the Sanjiang Stone Alliance is just 20 kilometers ahead. I personally led a team to scout it out. There are 92 people there with 14 guns. Their alertness is very low. I am confident that I can easily take them down!"

Xiao Jun waved his hand and said:
"No need. According to the information given by the judge, the leader of the Iron Wolf Gang, Hei Biao, is a pragmatic man. We only need to send a large army to take them down without losing a single soldier."

Zhou Dafu looked up at the long convoy behind him, recalling the scene he had witnessed that morning when he led his men to scout the Iron Wolf Gang's base.

I wholeheartedly agree with what Xiao Jun said.

The difference in their strength is not even on the same level.

"Commander, should I lead the team over now and talk to their leader?"

"No need," Xiao Jun shook his head and said.

"The headquarters just sent a negotiation expert over. You can go over with the main force later."

"Ok, I see."

"Don't leave yet, wait a moment. There's a meeting at the captain level later, and you'll have to participate," Xiao Jun said.

"it is good."

A dozen minutes later.

There were about twenty people gathered in an open space.

Yang Zhongshi of the 8th Battalion and Yang Tianlong of the 9th Battalion.

The captains of the People's Armed Forces Brigade, Miao Tianji, Luo Shichang, Wang Xing, Chen Dachui, Tang Ji, Zhuang Wenqian, Zhang Hutou, Xie Zihao, Zhou Dafu, Chang Yichang, Meng De, Ye Zi, Le Ziqing, and Wang Xin all gathered here.

"Is everyone here?" Xiao Jun looked at everyone.

Yang Tianlong nodded and said, "Everyone is here."

Xiao Jun pointed to several people beside him and addressed the numerous captains:
"Let me introduce you. These are the experts that the headquarters sent to support us."

He pointed to a man in his fifties with graying hair but full of energy and said:
"This is Staff Officer Liu Ding from the General Staff."

After the introductions, he pointed to a middle-aged man who was not tall but had sharp eyes and a goatee, and introduced him:

"This is Staff Officer Sun Ji'an from the General Staff Department."

"They helped us assess the enemy situation, negotiate, and draft surrender terms; they were responsible for all of these."

He then pointed to the remaining two people and introduced them:

"These two are Lu Qian, the team leader of the Supervision Department, who is in charge of managing the surrendered personnel of the Sanjiang Stone Alliance."

"The other one is Zhang Taishan, the director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is responsible for household registration management, grain allocation, resettlement of people, logistical support and public opinion guidance after the surrender of Sanjiang Shimen.

Everyone looked at the four people with amazement in their eyes.

They hadn't expected the headquarters to be so well-prepared.

Even before the battle began, resettlement experts who had taken over the Sanjiang Shimeng Alliance had already been dispatched.
