The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1099 Surprise Attack Force?

In the past, aircraft carriers were usually escorted by frigates, cruisers, destroyers, and nuclear submarines. Now, they can only be towed by cargo ships, and the escorts and cruisers around them have been replaced by yachts and fishing boats...

A basic version of an aircraft carrier battle group, with all weapon systems and carrier-based aircraft idle, and combat relying solely on manpower.

"OK, everything is going smoothly. The current speed is about five kilometers per hour. Once it stabilizes, we can increase the speed a little!"

Zhang Su's voice came from the cockpit of the tugboat. At the current speed, it would take more than forty hours to return to Qincheng Port, which was quite a slow pace.

"Chief Zhang, we are steadily accelerating, and we will eventually reach a speed of about 30 knots, which is a little over 50 kilometers per hour. We will start to slow down when we are about 10 kilometers away from our destination. Is that alright?"

The most experienced ship pilot in the team responded to Zhang Su.

"Over fifty kilometers? That's not bad! The first stop isn't Qincheng Port. Remember, you can start slowing down when you see a luminous object floating on the sea!"

Zhang Su was preoccupied with the light sphere. Whenever he thought of the light sphere, he would think of the silver-plated skin of the energy bar. After taking a nap, he got used to it a little and just treated it as a nice-looking skin, so he didn't feel so uncomfortable.

He was slightly troubled by the fact that he couldn't find the desired effect from the changes.

"Understood, please rest assured!"

The experienced craftsman is very confident in his field of expertise.

The speed increase was slow, all for the sake of safety. Failure would mean a long delay at sea. It took more than half an hour to go from towing the aircraft carrier to increasing the speed to more than 40 kilometers per hour!

In the end, this was the only level we could achieve, which was a bit short of the thirty episodes we had expected. Even so, everyone was very satisfied. Whether it was fast or slow didn't matter, as long as we could go back!
Before they knew it, it was six o'clock in the morning. After sailing for a while, the sky was still dark. The crew members scattered on the various ships chatted idly. This was definitely a rare experience and a leisurely time.

Despite the biting wind, the legion members were undeterred by the cold, standing on the deck and feeling the vastness of the sea, as if they had also gained freedom in their lives.

The members of the Yama Legion who possess icy energy within their bodies are in a better position. While others rely on willpower to overcome the cold, they are genuinely unafraid of the cold and can more comfortably enjoy this wonderful journey.

Standing at the bow of the aircraft carrier, Zhang Su looked northwest and saw a hazy white light, with the sky gradually changing color.

"Ok?"

Zhang Su rubbed his eyes, and suddenly, in that hazy white light, some shimmering points of light appeared on the distant northwest horizon!

It was like the moon rising over the sea, except that what he saw was a star rising over the sea.

The twinkling lights drifted across the sky, rising higher and higher.

The enormous distance was no challenge for Zhang Su. He had done this problem before. Back when he was scouting an aircraft carrier from a helicopter, the situation was exactly the opposite of what it was now. He could determine the distance of those light spots based on the curvature of the Earth, which was about 150 kilometers away!
Even with his exceptional eyesight, it was as small as a sesame seed; only with a telescope could one discern even a slight detail.

"That's...a helicopter?"

Zhang Su asked a question, but no one answered, because he had no human companions around him. Good Luck and Lightning lay down and went back to sleep shortly after the aircraft carrier started up, which was quite relaxing.

The program sat on the deck, legs straight and upper body bent, feigning sleep, seemingly oblivious to what was happening outside.

"Well?"

Upon hearing Zhang Su's mutterings, the program looked up in confusion, its green light flickering, indicating that it was in a dazed state.

"No, that's a helicopter!"

Zhang Su didn't need anyone to answer, nor did he have time to respond to the program. After adjusting the magnification of his telescope, he was certain that several helicopters had appeared in the sky hundreds of kilometers away!

This discovery greatly alarmed him. He was certain that the helicopters did not belong to his camp. First, the people in the camp would not have acted on their own. Second, the direction was wrong. Finally, and most importantly, the number did not match!
The camp only had two helicopters in total, but now he could see four helicopters in his field of vision...

The four helicopters flew in a neat formation, one-two-one, heading in the same direction. They controlled their speeds well, showing that the pilots were quite skilled.

"These helicopters are about 100 kilometers away from us, and their exact location should be... south of Tang City. These are Genesis's helicopters!"

Without much thought, Zhang Su figured out where these helicopters came from. They were most likely from the Genesis Society in Yong County. No other camp nearby could possibly have such a vast arsenal! "So many helicopters... Could it be that the Genesis Society is planning a surprise attack on the Righteous Path Society, or even our hometown? That doesn't make sense!"

Zhang Su was certain that not a single piece of information had leaked to Genesis, which meant that Genesis had no idea about the situation in Qin City, let alone launch a large-scale attack on their hometown!

But the situation was very strange. Zhang Su frowned and looked into the distance. He quickly realized that something was wrong. The helicopter seemed to be flying in the northeast direction. Without even thinking, he knew that was the direction of Qincheng!

"Holy shit, what the hell do we do now...?"

Zhang Su was really worried now. The camp's internal defenses were quite weak. The only combat force they could rely on was 003 and the fire-breathing zombie. However, the fire-breathing zombie was not very useful without a program to control it, as it would hurt both the enemy and the user. 003 would also be no match for a strongman like Hei Xiazi!

Four helicopters and at least twenty people—if it really is a surprise attack force, one can imagine its impressive lineup.

"Well!!"

Zhang Su let out a low groan. He suddenly recalled his conversation with Zheng Xinyu on the deck last night. Now that he had a large group of people behind him, could he really run away when danger came?

The answer is no...

"If they dare to cause trouble at my camp, I'll throw giant eggplants at Yong County and make all the creators of this world pay with their lives!"

Zhang Su clenched his fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

He didn't tell anyone else about the helicopter. If he was wrong, it would only disrupt morale. If it was true, there was no use knowing now; he could wait until they reached Qincheng Port to discuss it.

"Woof!"

Good Luck sensed Zhang Su's heavy breathing, woke up from her sleep, and snuggled up to his feet, lying on her back and acting coquettishly, her eyes full of confusion.

"Good luck. If our camp is attacked and many people die, would you want to avenge those uncles and aunts?"

Zhang Su gazed into the distance and asked softly.

"Ugh? Ugh!"

After hearing the question, Good Luck thought for a few seconds, then flipped over like a carp, and then made a fierce expression, baring its teeth and wrinkling its nose, its meaning very clear.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Lightning also woke up and heard Zhang Su's question. Its little paws clenched, its two front teeth were snow-white, and its long beard trembled rapidly. It also had a fierce expression.

"Uh!"

The program stood up, its thin, bony arms swinging as it threw a weak punch, but it made its stance clear.

“There are a few helicopters over there. I feel like they’re flying towards our camp. They should be the companions of those bear cubs from last time.”

Zhang Su pointed to the sky and explained the current situation to his simple-minded companions.

After listening, the two little ones and the program were stunned, because Zhang Su did not tell them the result directly, but needed to take a roundabout way, which really took some brainpower.

"Squeak!"

Lightning was the first to react. It leaped high into the air, limbs straight, mouth wide open, looking like an exaggeratedly frightened character from a cartoon. After landing, it ran in circles at high speed, clearly realizing the seriousness of the situation!

Good Luck understood immediately, and the fur on its tail stood on end. Its four paws gripped the deck tightly, and its claws made a squeaking sound as they rubbed together. It looked very cute, but it exuded the aura of a vicious wolf.

The program's bright green eyes stared blankly at Zhang Su, showing no particular reaction...
