The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1024 Let's see if it's still there.

After listening, Zhang Su remained silent. He looked at his companions, whose faces all looked grim.

The magnificent aircraft carrier was once among the top war machines. If they were to test it with their current capabilities, and if anyone was still in charge of the defense system, it would be like lighting a lamp in a latrine.

Unless those guys on the aircraft carrier are completely unprepared, it's really hard to crack.

"Oh, right, we found something else!"

Zhang Su suddenly remembered the signal beacon, walked to the side and handed it to the helicopter. Before he could even ask a question, the other party started talking excitedly.

“Mr. Zhang, he said this was brought from the aircraft carrier. They threw it into the sea when the kayak was damaged. The leader of that group said that if they ever come to their senses and decide to go back to the aircraft carrier, they will use this to send a signal!”

Fu Weijun was a dedicated and responsible translator.

"Ha, what a golden opportunity that's delivered right to our doorstep!"

"Brother Su, it's like having a pillow delivered to your head when you're about to fall asleep. With this thing to send signals, at least the other side won't attack us as soon as they see us, right?"

"As long as we can get on the ship, there's a chance we can take it! Shall we go check it out?"

Everyone present was intelligent, and after hearing Fu Weijun's translation, they immediately started thinking of a great show imitating the creation of Kumabe!
A thoughtful expression appeared on Zhang Su's face. This was indeed a key that could safely open the aircraft carrier, but it certainly wasn't something to be used right now!

"Aircraft carriers are very appealing, but we are far too unprepared to board one!"

Upon hearing Zhang Su's words, all the combat personnel except Duan Wuhu showed expressions of disappointment. An aircraft carrier, and a nuclear-powered one at that! Who wouldn't be confused? Even if there were zombies on board, they wouldn't be afraid!
"But I want to go and see if the aircraft carrier is still where he said it is! Dr. Liu, please check the fuel levels of the two helicopters. Dr. Fu, please ask him for me what the radar monitoring range of the aircraft carrier is."

Liu Lingping nodded and walked towards the cockpit, while Fu Weijun began to find out the situation from White. The others were not idle either. Since their boss was going to investigate, they wondered if they could accompany him as an accessory. They quickly came up with a plan!

"Hmm... Mr. Zhang, among the radar systems, one system, when activated in long-range mode, can detect objects as small as five square meters within a range of two hundred kilometers. In other words, if the aircraft carrier's position remains unchanged and the radar is in long-range mode, our entire island will be within its detection range!"

Zhang Su's lips twitched. The detection range of this radar was far too wide!

The others were also helpless. What was the point of going? Their every move was probably under the control of the other party.

“BUT…”

White, observing the situation, understood perfectly and mumbled a few more words.

"what."

After listening to White's words, Fu Weijun smiled strangely: "He said that although the radar can capture information from 200 kilometers away, the air defense missile system on the aircraft carrier only has a range of 18 kilometers."

"Eighteen kilometers, a range of 18,000 meters?"

Zhang Su's first reaction upon hearing this was not joy, but skepticism: "Is an eighteen-kilometer range really that short?"

"Brother Su, the air defense system on an aircraft carrier is about this level. Because under normal circumstances, aircraft carriers don't rely on themselves for defense. They also have frigates, cruisers, and destroyers, right? And if they're at full strength, they also have nuclear-powered submarines!"

Wu Baokang explained from the side.

Fu Weijun conveyed Zhang Su's doubts to White and received the same answer: if it were a war mission, an aircraft carrier could not sail alone on the sea; it would have to be flanked by eight to ten ships!

Without the escort of these ships, an aircraft carrier would be nothing more than a sitting duck in war!

"if it is like this……"

Zhang Su's eyes lit up, and he turned his head to estimate the distance. Eighteen kilometers is nothing to see on land, but it's different when flying in the air. With his eyesight and binoculars, he could at least see if the aircraft carrier was still there, let alone see the details clearly.

“Mr. Zhang, that helicopter has a slightly longer range, about 430 kilometers.”

Liu Lingping reported on the situation.

"Come on, everyone, let's get our hands dirty and unload the equipment on top to reduce weight and lower fuel consumption!"

At Zhang Su's command, the combat personnel all sighed. Since even the weight of the equipment had been taken into account, they shouldn't even think about going along to watch the show.

Ten minutes later, Wu Baokang piloted the helicopter into flight, carrying Zhang Su, Fu Weijun, and White, who was bundled up like a cocoon. As a helicopter pilot, Wu Baokang had secured his final opportunity, replacing Liu Lingping.

"Do you think the aircraft carrier is still around?"

Qi Xiaoshuai watched the light spot in the sky drift southwards and asked his companion.

"The wind has stopped for the past few months, and the sea is calm. If no one is driving, that big thing probably won't be able to escape."

Duan Wuhu sat back in the helicopter. His injuries were gradually stabilizing. With his current physical condition, he would be able to move around freely after three to five days of rest.

Zhao Dezhu picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the ice coffin, saying dejectedly, "I think we need to learn more skills in the future. Regardless of whether the aircraft carrier is at sea this time, given the development trend of our camp, we will definitely have more air units and need a lot of pilots!"

“Brother Zhu is right. We can’t just focus on developing our own military strength. We need to catch up in other areas as well. But... Aunt Liu, could you spare some time to teach us?”

Qi Xiaoshuai asked Liu Lingping with a very polite expression.

Liu Lingping was slightly taken aback when she heard Qi Xiaoshuai address her as "Auntie." It had been a long time since anyone had called her that. At the camp, everyone called her "Doctor Liu" or "Sister Liu." Hearing such an affectionate address suddenly made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, actually... Mr. Zhang and Minister Yu already had a plan. If it weren't for this mission today, they would have started training helicopter pilots."

Chen Hanzhou and the others all looked at Liu Lingping. They were completely unaware of this arrangement, especially Zhao Dezhu, whose father-in-law was involved in the decision-making process, and he hadn't known about it at all beforehand...

"Then I definitely have to sign up."

"Yes, I want to participate too."

"Me too."

Several people enthusiastically requested to participate in driving training; they were all very ambitious members.

Zhang Su didn't know what the people on Turtle Island were studying. He was holding a telescope and looking south. Only by going deep into Qinhai Bay could one feel the vastness of the sea. The boundless sea was too calm. The sea without wind and waves had put away its fangs, but it was full of eeriness!

"Old Wu, raise the altitude to 1,500."

Zhang Su instructed Wu Baokang to increase the helicopter's altitude so that they could detect the aircraft carrier's presence sooner.

The mysterious blockade at an altitude of two thousand meters is known, but the aircraft carrier's air defense system is unknown; the sooner it is detected, the safer it will be.

"Yes!"

Wu Baokang had finally secured this mission, and he changed his previous joking manner to a serious and meticulous one, not saying a word more and strictly following orders.

As the helicopter ascended to 1,500 meters, the sea before us became even more expansive.

Flying further and further away with his back to the glowing sphere, the world once again fell into darkness. What others saw as an inky black sea appeared as usual to Zhang Su. He enjoyed the magnificent sea view, but had no time to revel in it.

Wu Baokang was no different from the others; he couldn't see the situation ahead and was practically driving blindly. He could only rely on instruments to determine which way was north, south, east, or west. The rest of the time, he just followed orders, such as when Zhang Su shouted, "Stop!"

He immediately began to slow down...

"So, Su-ge, what did you see?"

Wu Baokang asked excitedly.

"How far did you fly from Turtle Rock Island?"

Zhang Su did not answer Wu Baokang's question, but instead asked a question.

"One hundred and sixty, no, that's not right, you've misread it, it's one hundred and six kilometers!"

Wu Baokang looked embarrassed. He was so excited that he misreported the numbers. But then he suddenly realized a problem: they had only flown 100 kilometers. According to the information given by the guy on the ground, they should still be about 100 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. How could they see it already?

Hmm, maybe the aircraft carrier has moved!
Zhang Su didn’t know whether the aircraft carrier had moved or not, but he did see it. Just now, a ship slowly rose from the sea. Its unique shape made it instantly recognizable as an aircraft carrier!
