Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Inside the helicopter.

The judge, holding a high-powered telescope, carefully observed the situation inside the forward base.

He carefully scanned the entire valley.

The three-headed Shiva remained in the same spot, his enormous body resembling three massive hills.

The situation around these three Shiva lords has changed since their last visit.

The horde of zombies that had previously swarmed densely in the center of the valley has now dispersed considerably.

Many zombies were scattered in the dense forests on both sides of the valley.

These forests grew wildly for more than two years after the sea fog, and the trees became so dense that even sunlight could not penetrate them.

The tree trunks were covered with vines, the ferns grew taller than a person, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and moss.

If someone were to crawl inside, they would be swallowed up by the green waves in the blink of an eye.

It's even more exaggerated than a primeval forest.

Once the zombies went inside, they disappeared without a trace, like water droplets merging into the ocean.

There were still many Indian fighters in the dense forest.

Their disguises were so good that the judge, if not for his extensive experience, would never have been able to spot the figures hiding in the shadows.

"Damn it!" The judge couldn't help but curse upon seeing this.

"Most of the zombies and Indians have gone into hiding. How can we carry out the aerial bombing plan now?"

He put down his binoculars, his brow furrowed.

"Hey"

"The zombies and the Indians have all scattered," he said to Xue Zhihua beside him.
“When we came before, they were all gathered in the center of the valley, but now most of them have gone to the forests on both sides.”

Xue Zhihua took the binoculars, looked at them for a while, then put them down, frowned, and said:
"I guess they saw that we had helicopters."

Fearing being wiped out in one fell swoop, they dispersed in advance.

In the current situation, even if we bombard the area with rockets, the effect will be extremely limited.

The zombies and soldiers hiding in the woods were impossible to target precisely.

The judge nodded.

"Yes, it's a bit troublesome."

He raised the binoculars again, his gaze falling on the three-headed Shiva, the calamity god.

Those enormous creatures remained in place, their massive bodies impossible to hide, clearly visible even from several kilometers away.

Suddenly, as the judge looked at the three-headed Shiva, an idea came to mind.

"Engineer Xue, can that sonic resonance jammer you brought control those Shiva demons?"

The judge became increasingly agitated as he spoke, asking, "Make them go mad and turn around to attack those Indians."

Xue Zhihua remained silent for a while, then shook his head.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"Current technology cannot do it."

"The acoustic resonance jammer we brought is essentially used to interfere with their sensing systems."

"The principle is to emit sound wave signals of a specific frequency to confuse their perception system, thereby suppressing their attack capabilities."

"But to get them to attack specific targets according to our wishes, we need to obtain more complex acoustic codes, which is difficult unless the Indians tell us. We haven't reached that level of cracking yet."

"In other words, we can only either quiet them down or protect ourselves."

The judge felt a bit of a headache and rubbed his temples.

"What the hell do we do now?"

He put down his binoculars, stared at the forest below, and pondered for a long time, repeatedly considering various possibilities in his mind.

After a long pause, he spoke up and shared his thoughts:
"Since the acoustic jammer has been proven to be effective, then there is a way."

"To destroy the forward base, we must first deal with those three Shiva scourges."

Can we calm these Shiva demons down? Then we can take full advantage of our air superiority and use high-explosive armor-piercing rounds for a barrage. A dozen helicopters should fire simultaneously in a saturation attack mode, doing everything in our power to destroy them.

Once the three-headed Shiva scourge is dead, the remaining zombies and Indians will be easier to deal with.

Then the ground troops will advance, heading straight for the forward base.

He turned to Xue Zhihua and asked, "Do you think this plan is feasible?"

Xue Zhihua did not answer immediately. He picked up his binoculars and stared at the three-headed Shiva for a long time.

After thinking for a long time, he said:

“It’s feasible, but there’s a prerequisite. We must launch the attack while simultaneously transmitting the sonic jamming signal. If the three-headed Shiva suddenly awakens during the attack and launches a sonic attack, our helicopters may be shot down.”

"Then what do we need to do?" the judge asked.

Xue Zhihua thought for a moment and replied:

"We need to first build an acoustic resonance array around the forward base."

Make those Shiva lords remain silent during the attack and not launch a sonic attack on us.

These acoustic resonators need to be placed within three kilometers of Shiva, on flat mountaintops, and on triangular structures built on three mountaintops surrounding the valley.

The three devices form a stable coverage network; if one fails, the other two can continue to operate.

The judge was stunned after hearing this, his eyes widening:
Are you kidding me?

"Within three kilometers? And on the ground, the Indians would have discovered it long ago."

Even within a three-kilometer radius of the ground, zombies controlled by the Indians are everywhere.

They will definitely try to stop us.

Furthermore, setting up the acoustic resonator takes time, and it's simply impossible for us to complete the deployment under the Indians' noses.

As he spoke, he asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Back at headquarters, why were we able to influence the sonic resonance corpse from ten kilometers away?"

Xue Zhihua touched his nose, coughed, and patiently explained:
"This one?"

"The headquarters base has high walls, giving it a commanding view. And there are no obstructions in between, so sound waves can travel directly through it. It's different here; there are mountains and trees everywhere."

As you can see, those plants are taller than a person and as dense as a primeval forest.

Infrasound waves attenuate significantly in dense forests, greatly reducing their effectiveness.

Three kilometers is already the limit that can only be achieved on high ground.

"Any further away, the signal would be absorbed by the mountains and trees, and wouldn't reach those Shiva lords at all."

The judge sighed helplessly.

He had originally thought he had found a quick way to deal with the three-headed Shiva, but now it seemed that the idea was too naive.

Quiet.

The only sound in the entire cabin was the sound of the propellers.

Ding Zhao and Xue Zhihua remained silent, instead carefully observing the Shiva calamities through their binoculars, occasionally recording data.

After a long while, the judge asked again:

"What if we use a sonic resonance device on a helicopter? Could that keep those Shiva demons calm and prevent them from attacking us?"

Xue Zhihua shook his head, his tone very certain:
"The helicopter's excessive shaking will cause the directional aiming to fail significantly. The acoustic resonator needs to be stably pointed at the target area to be effective. In the air, the fuselage is constantly shaking slightly, and the acoustic signal will be scattered, making it impossible to accurately transmit the signal."

He glanced at Ding Zhao beside him, then at the judge, and continued:
"I think..."

"Either use a vehicle-mounted system, and stop and remain stationary when emitting sound waves."

Alternatively, they could find a high point and build an infrasound resonant array to solve the problem in the air, but current technology cannot do that.

The judge was completely at a loss now, and he rubbed his head.

It seems that taking down those Shiva scourges in one fell swoop using helicopters is still too difficult.

Old Qin, who was standing nearby, comforted him:
"It's alright, we can think about it later. Besides, Engineer Xue also said that we can build an infrasound resonant array on a ground vehicle and have the air and ground teams work together."

The judge thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow; Emma's method seemed feasible.

It was a bit of a hassle.
"Engineer Xue, is this feasible?" He looked at Xue Zhihua.

Xue Zhihua thought for a moment and said:

“It’s feasible. The essence of this method is to change the way we originally calmed down the three-headed Shiva into protecting our convoy. The range of the sound waves will be much more controllable.”

He thought about it carefully and nodded vigorously:

"It can work!"

After the judge received Xue Zhihua's accurate answer.

He immediately used the radio, adjusted the frequency, and contacted Xiao Jun.

"Xiao Jun, I've encountered a bit of a situation here, let me tell you about it."

The plan to directly bomb Shiva, the calamity god, from the air is not feasible.

As Lao Qin just mentioned, by coordinating operations with ground troops and helicopters, the ground forces advanced directly, using a dozen vehicle-mounted infrasound devices to form an infrasound resonance array to protect the ground convoy from attacks by those Shiva calamities.

In addition, helicopters provide long-range support and firepower.

Upon approaching the forward base, the ground convoy immediately launched a barrage of fire, bombarding the several Shiva calamities.

"I think this plan is feasible."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, then Xiao Jun's voice came through:

"But we have a lot of people and vehicles, and once we leave the Nathu La Pass, we will be easily discovered."

“We spotted the Indian scouts yesterday. If it weren’t for the dense vegetation making them hard to spot, and the fact that they were quick to escape, we would have caught them all.”

The judge's voice was steady and powerful:

"With thousands of people and so many cars, there's nothing we can do about being discovered."

"Given the current situation, it is clearly impossible to secretly send a vehicle over to set up the acoustic resonance equipment."

They will definitely be discovered within three kilometers.

The Indian scouts were watching us closely; they couldn't hide anything we did.

This is the only option now: send a large force to overwhelm them, and complete the deployment of the acoustic shield ahead of schedule.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie.

Xiao Jun said, "Wait a moment, let me ask Engineer Xue."

As he spoke, he continued to ask:

"Engineer Xue, do you think the plan the judge just mentioned is feasible? I need you to give a professional evaluation."

Xue Zhihua leaned slightly closer to the radio and answered earnestly:
"This solution is technically feasible."

Vehicle-mounted infrasound equipment can function stably when stationary, and if deployed properly, it can form an effective sound wave protection network.

However, the deployment pattern needs to be carefully designed, and the distance between each device cannot be too far.

I did the calculations, and based on the current performance parameters of the equipment, the distance between each piece of equipment should ideally be kept within 800 meters.

The formation should cover as much area as possible, forming a circular protective circle that envelops the entire convoy, preventing any weak points.

After Xue Zhihua finished speaking, Ding Zhao, who was standing next to him, also chimed in:

"I have a few points to add."

"1."

"The sonic shield needs to be established before the convoy enters the Indians' attack range. Judging from the current attack range of those Indian Shiva lords, it's about five kilometers."

We need to deploy the protective netting five kilometers away from the forward base.

However, once the protective net is activated, the Indians might notice something amiss, so we must be prepared to fight back and do everything in our power to protect these vehicles equipped with acoustic resonators.

"2."

"During the convoy's journey, the acoustic equipment must remain in continuous operation. If any equipment malfunctions, it is necessary to immediately switch to the backup equipment."

We have hundreds of spare sets of equipment at our headquarters. If we can send ten more over, the redundancy of the entire system will be even greater. Even if two or three pieces of equipment malfunction at the same time, it won't affect the overall protective effect.

After listening to Xue Zhihua's professional answer, Xiao Jun sat inside the tent staring at the map on the wall.

A gust of wind blew in from outside, causing a piece of paper on the table to flutter.

He got up and picked up the paper that had fallen to the ground.

At the same time, he quickly assessed the feasibility of the plan in his mind, repeatedly weighing various possible risks and costs.

The judge did not urge him.

Although the judge held a high position in the camphor tree, the person in charge of commanding the operation this time was, after all, Xiao Jun.

He cannot make decisions for Xiao Jun; he can only offer suggestions.

Five minutes later.

Xiao Jun gripped the paper in his hand and said decisively:

"it is good!"

"Then let's do it this way. Engineer Xue, contact headquarters and have them send another batch of acoustic resonance equipment. The sooner the better."

Xue Zhihua replied, "Understood, I'll contact headquarters in a bit."

"Instructors, come back first. Let's refine the plan together."

"Okay." The judge responded, walked to the front cockpit, waved to the pilot, and signaled to return to base.

at the same time.

Inside the forward base.

Prakash stood at the door of the communications room, holding a cup of cold tea in his hand, gazing at the distant, rolling mountain ridges.

A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

The two reconnaissance teams he sent out would send back messages every now and then.

My men just reported that the helicopters from the Nathu La Pass have taken off again and are now eight kilometers away from them.

Moreover, their stay was short; they returned quickly.

The two helicopters did not fly high, nor did they approach the forward base; they simply circled the distant ridgeline before returning.

He didn't know what the people in the big camphor tree were up to.

According to reports from his subordinates, the two helicopters repeatedly hovered in the same area.

I don't understand what they're doing.

The feeling of being watched without knowing the other person's purpose made him very uncomfortable.

for a long time.

Prakash gave the order to his adjutant:
"Order all units to strengthen their vigilance."

"Once those helicopters get close, immediately launch the sonic attack. Don't wait until they're overhead before taking action. This time, we can't repeat the mistakes General Khan made."

"Yes." The adjutant turned to relay the message.

Prakash walked into the communications room, picked up the microphone, and connected to the frequency of the first reconnaissance team.

"Any new developments on your end?"

"No," the scout replied.

"They are reinforcing their positions and building warehouses, just like before. Today, there were dozens more trucks, all carrying steel and cement, but there was no sign of a large-scale troop buildup."

"Keep an eye on them, and report immediately if you spot any signs that they are moving out."

"clear."

Prakash put down the microphone and connected to the frequency of the second reconnaissance team.

What's the situation on your end?

“We staked out the north side of Nathu La Pass all night, and the lights in their camp never went out. Two helicopters took off before dawn, but they came back after half an hour. The workers in the camp were working overtime, as if they were rushing to finish the project and were in a hurry to build the outpost.”

"Also, it seems we were discovered, but we escaped and weren't caught."

Prakash frowned even more after hearing this: "Alright, be careful not to be discovered again."

He put down the microphone, walked to the map, looked at the location of Nathu La Pass marked on the map, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

What exactly are they trying to do?

They must be preparing something over at the big camphor tree.

But he couldn't be sure when they would make their move.

The three-headed Shiva has not yet completed his transformation; the chances of winning if we act now are too low.

He could only wait.

Wait until the three-headed Shiva calamity lord completely mutates, and until the attack range covers the entire Nathu La Pass.

By then, no matter how many troops the camphor tree has prepared, under the sound wave coverage of more than ten kilometers, those positions and equipment will be reduced to ruins.

just
The appearance of these two helicopters today gave him a vague, ominous feeling.

But he couldn't figure out what went wrong.

Nathu La Pass.

Command post tent.

Xue Zhihua and Ding Zhao, who had just returned from near the forward base, had spread out a large pile of blueprints and documents and were studying them diligently.

Judge, Xiao Jun, Yang Tianlong, Miao Tianji and other high-ranking members of the team gathered here to refine the details of the plan.

The judge stood before the map, pointed to the location of the forward base, and said:
"Based on the information I just gathered, I have reassessed the situation."

"The location of the three Shiva lords has not changed, but the zombies and soldiers around them have been dispersed. The priority now is to blow up the three Shiva lords. As for the other Indians and zombies, they are not a concern."

Xue Zhihua put down the blueprints in his hand and took over the judge's words, saying:
"We need to develop a detailed implementation plan as soon as possible."

Based on the previous estimate, the effective protection radius of the vehicle-mounted infrasound equipment is 800 meters.

To create a stable coverage network, we need at least fifteen devices, evenly distributed around the convoy.

Ding Zhao nodded and said:
"in addition."

“Each piece of equipment needs to be equipped with an independent generator and a backup power source. The number of pieces of equipment we have brought is not enough; we need at least ten more to form a complete protective ring.”

The judge asked, "What about the deployment time for the equipment? How long will it take to complete the formation?"

Xue Zhihua did the calculation:
“We can deploy in advance and complete the array setup in advance. Once the vehicle stops, we can start immediately. As long as we maintain the general formation, we can form a protective network within 30 seconds.”

After listening, the judge nodded and asked some more questions about the details of the sound wave parameters.

Xue Zhihua answered each question in turn, discussing the frequency accuracy and directional range of the equipment, as well as its attenuation in complex terrain.

The group spent nearly an hour scrutinizing the map and drawings, ultimately raising the feasibility assessment of the entire plan to over 90%.

After the feasibility rate reached 90%, Xiao Jun stood up, stretched, and said:

"Then it's settled."

He walked to the communications station, adjusted the frequency, and personally connected the communications channels of the Anding Sub-base, the Sanjiang Sub-base, and the Fanyuan Sanshou Sub-base.

"I am Xiao Jun."

Reinforcements are needed at the Nathu La Pass front.

All the permanent helicopters remaining at each branch base have been transferred to Nathu La Pass. A response will be given immediately upon receipt.

There was static on the other end of the communicator, followed by a series of voices.

"Received from Anding Sub-base. We have four more sustainable helicopters here, which will depart in forty minutes."

"Sanjiang Branch Base received. We have three aircraft here, departing in twenty minutes."

"Received from the San Shou branch base of Fan Yuan. We have three aircraft here, departing in half an hour."

Xiao Jun put down the microphone, turned to the judge, and said:

"Instructor, with the six left at Nathu La Pass, that makes a total of sixteen sustainable helicopters, which should be enough."

at this time.

On the tarmac of the Anding branch base.

The rotors of the four sustainable helicopters have begun to spin.

The crew members ran to their respective cabins to check the various parameters on the instrument panels.

After receiving the order, the four helicopters took off in succession, forming a straight line and flying south.

In the lead helicopter, flight team leader Ding Shan glanced back at the three helicopters behind him and spoke into the communicator:
"Brothers, we're going to Nathu La Pass this time. There's going to be a big battle there. Everyone stay alert and don't let us down at this crucial moment."

The Sanjiang branch base.

Three sustainable helicopters also took off at the same time.

One of the pilots was a veteran pilot who had been flying for many years and was very experienced.

He pushed the control stick, and the helicopter flew southwest.

At the San Shou branch base of Fan Yuan.

Three sustainable helicopters also formed a formation on the same route, turning from the north to the southwest and accelerating toward the Nathu La Pass.

At the same time, the headquarters received a request for assistance from Xue Zhihua regarding infrasound equipment.

My second uncle immediately made arrangements for people to prepare.

At this moment, the four helicopters are making final preparations for loading cargo.

Captain Bi of the helicopter squadron leaned against the helicopter cabin door, holding an equipment list in his hand, watching the workers carry boxes labeled "infrasound resonance equipment" into the cargo hold.

He yawned, rubbed his still-closed eyes, and glanced at the crew members who were still performing maintenance, reminding them:
"Old Deng, check the rotor system and transmission system of helicopter number 195 again."

"It was just checked."

"Then check it again. Helicopter No. 195 has been assembled, so check it again."

"Row."

Old Bi twisted his neck and stretched.

One hour ago.

He was still lying in his dorm room, scrolling through his phone reading a post-apocalyptic novel, and he was on the most exciting part.
The protagonist took out a loan to stockpile a batch of supplies, and just as the apocalypse was about to begin, he received a message from his uncle, Liu Jianwen.

Liu Jianwen was very anxious and ordered Lao Bi to personally lead a team with four helicopters to deliver the infrasound resonance equipment to Nathu La Pass.

Helpless, Lao Bi dropped his phone and ran out of the dormitory to prepare the helicopter and carry out inspections and maintenance.

For a flight that lasts more than ten hours, thorough checks must be performed before takeoff.

If something goes wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Time passed second by second.

Two hours later.

Four helicopters, equipped with sonic resonance devices, took off one after another from the fourth outer helipad of the headquarters base and flew toward the defense line at Nathu La Pass.
