The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1100 Things Get Interesting
Seeing the state of the group, Zhang Su gave a helpless smile, feeling utterly powerless at that moment.

The two locations are nearly 200 kilometers apart, separated by mountains and rivers. Forget about sending reinforcements; even trying to contact the camp via radio was impossible due to the vast distance.

Suddenly, he felt a little envious of the Righteous Path Society's model. According to the information he had gathered, the Righteous Path Society had built its camp like a tortoise shell, protecting the survivors inside!
Unfortunately, he was unaware of the core strength of the Righteous Path Society. The power grid was powered not by human technology, and even if he wanted to replicate it, given Tianma Island's resources, he couldn't follow the same path.

Bang, bang...

"Inhale, exhale. Calm down! Things might not be as bad as you think."

Lighting a lighter and smoking a cigarette, Zhang Su tried to calm himself down, both by comforting himself and by putting down on the deck. He then quietly watched the helicopters in the distance.

Since nothing we do can change the status quo, then doing nothing and conserving our energy is a good idea.

After finishing one cigarette, he lit another. Just as he was about to finish his, Zhang Su frowned because he noticed that the helicopter was slowing down!

It seems we've reached the sea and are slowly slowing down. Based on our geographical location, we should continue flying north to reach Qincheng.

"Why is it slowing down... I understand!"

Zhang Su took a deep breath and flicked the cigarette butt towards the sea. The real purpose of these helicopters was not the Righteous Path Society or Tianma Island, but the glowing sphere outside Beihe District!

Things suddenly became interesting.

……

……

"Hey you fucking, I have to say, the research department is something else!"

"Who says otherwise? We've gone almost 300 kilometers, and they actually guessed right!"

"Don't flatter them. Those guys only gave us a general location. This is all thanks to our Warhawk Division!"

“That’s right, that’s right, Minister Chang is right…”

On a helicopter, two members of the Warhawk Division were discussing the giant sphere when they were reprimanded by the minister and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Last night, an alarm went off on a detector in the Genesis Camp's research department. It had received data showing a very strong energy disturbance!

Previously, when fighting against mutated zombies in the Genesis Tiger Division, and after the mutated zombies exploded, we received similar data and intelligence, but none of them were as strong as this time, which immediately attracted the attention of the scientific research department!
After a night of analysis and interpretation, the head of the research department finally submitted an analysis report to the general. The report stated that the source of the violent energy fluctuations was located due east-northeast, with no other information available...

This report left the general feeling quite helpless. Unfortunately, the camp didn't have a supercomputer, and it was already remarkable that they could calculate so much information with the current outdated equipment. The rest would have to be handled by other departments!
So at 5 a.m., the Warhawk Division assembled urgently, led by the minister, and set off to find the source of the energy fluctuations.

chug.

Four helicopters hovered in the air in a diamond shape, with the sea reflecting white light below and a hazy white expanse in front of them.

"Brother Eagle, that thing doesn't look very big. We probably won't need a boat. We can tow it away ourselves. If one helicopter isn't enough, we'll use two together. No problem!"

The voices of other members came through Chang Ying's headset. He stared at the orb of light for a moment, then pressed the call button on his communication helmet: "Number Three, listen up. Slowly descend toward the luminous object and attempt to salvage it."

"Roger that!"

Soon, a helicopter broke away from the formation and approached the luminous object on the sea. At the same time, the cabin door opened, and a net for external transport was thrown out of the cabin.

Descending slowly, getting closer gradually.

In terms of piloting skills, the pilots from the Warhawk Division were more professional than those from Tianma Island. This was evident in the helicopter's flight attitude; their descent and approach were incredibly smooth. Chang Ying watched his helicopter from afar. These flying skills were basic operations, and in his view, they were unimportant. What mattered was whether the salvage operation could be successful.

However, right before the eyes of everyone on the helicopter, something happened!

Sizzle, crack, boom!
Suddenly, a dazzling spark burst forth in the darkness!
"No...this!"

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

Chang Ying was quite frightened. He had seen it clearly just now. The helicopter was more than 100 meters away from the luminous object when suddenly a lightning bolt made of light whiskers shot out from the sphere of light, instantly crossing the distance of more than 100 meters, like a thunderbolt striking the helicopter!

No, it should be said to be even more ferocious than thunder, because with the technological level of the helicopters they were piloting, a strike from ordinary lightning might not necessarily cause any harm!
As expected, the helicopter exploded after being hit, and human tissue could even be seen falling from the sky amidst flames. Of course, there were also relatively intact human figures tumbling in the air...

The distance was too far to hear the painful screams, or perhaps the person was unable to make a sound at all.

The helicopter exploded and disintegrated in mid-air, with clusters of flames of varying sizes falling to the ground. The luminous object did not attack any other objects, as if nothing had ever happened.

chug.

Three helicopters arrived in a flurry, then hastily retreated, landing one after another on the shore. With a bang, the cabin doors opened, and Chang Ying stepped off the helicopters, his face grave.

"Brother Eagle..."

"minister."

The crew members on the other two helicopters were also quick to act, and seeing the minister's unpleasant expression, they dared not say much.

"Did you have any special feelings while you were in the air?"

Chang Ying did not mention the explosion, but instead questioned several of his other modified subordinates.

"A special feeling? I don't quite understand."

"Brother Eagle, how do you feel?"

"Hmm... am I excited and a little restless? Does that count as a special feeling?"

This mission was not a regular one; a total of eight modified humans participated, and more than half of the department's top combat force was mobilized, which shows how much Genesis valued this mission. As a result, an explosion took away two of them!
Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, Chang Ying extended his hand and removed his glove. His arm trembled, and his entire hand changed. His normal skin became dry, and his muscle lines became as clear as rock. Even without launching an attack, one could feel that this hand could easily split mountains and shatter rocks!
"The power of transformation is increasing!"

A glint of light flashed in Chang Ying's eyes. He hadn't expected that the stagnant power of modification within his body was stirring. This discovery completely overshadowed the grief of the helicopter crash and the sacrifice of his men.

"Now that the minister has said that, I feel things are different too."

"Yes, my eyesight has also improved, and I can see much more clearly!"

"Brother Eagle, that glowing object is from the same source as the zombies, and it can actually enhance our strength. It's an invaluable treasure!"

The cyborgs, who had been terrified by the death of their companions just moments before, immediately shifted their attention after discovering the secret.

While the sacrifice of a comrade is certainly saddening, one's own growth is even more exciting!
The other ordinary members were not qualified to participate in the conversation. They exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "So these cyborgs not only disregard the lives of ordinary people like us, they don't even care if their comrades die..."

"Don't get too excited, don't forget what just happened. It seems that even getting close to that luminous object will be a problem right now!"

Chang Ying put one hand on his hip, looked at the light source, and racked his brains for a solution.
