Chapter 1488 - 857: Missile Trucks! An Unprecedented Windfall!
Third Uncle’s eyes slightly shrank after seeing it.He quickly called Dapao and the others to stop cutting.
The sound of the cutting machine came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone gathered around, forming a circle to look at the drone screen in Yang Tianlong’s hand.
"Is this thing a Zombie?" Dapao said in surprise.
They had never seen such a Zombie before.
Among the crowd, Li Yu, upon seeing it, his eyes flashed with light, and he thought to himself: It has indeed appeared.
All Zombies exposed to nuclear radiation share a common feature: their bodies glow.
These Zombies cannot be touched directly, not even approached closely. Once touched by a Zombie, or splattered with a Zombie’s blood, it will lead to nuclear radiation, causing organ failure and death.
If you come into contact with this type of Zombie, prepare for the end; there’s no cure, only death awaits.
Moreover, the speed of death is swift; most people can’t last half a month.
Li Yu thought for a moment, and when he saw these Zombies slowly approaching, he had no more concerns.
Directly said to everyone: "These Zombies must have been exposed to nuclear radiation, we can’t let them get close, we must kill them quickly."
Everyone was somewhat puzzled as to how Li Yu knew.
But they questioned the content of what Li Yu said.
Li Yu’s reports have never been wrong or deceitful to everyone.
The urgent matter is to deal with these Zombies, as Li Yu said.
Third Uncle furrowed his brow and said to Dapao: "Dapao, you come with me to deal with the Zombies, everyone else continue here."
Li Yu glanced at the helicopter parked outside the sturdy wire fence, his eyes flashed with thought, and he said to Dapao: "Wait, Uncle Jackal, can you lift the helicopter and fly it inside the wire fence?"
This task posed certain difficulties, from the wire fence to the gate there’s only about thirty meters.
Though the width is larger, around seventy meters, parking the helicopter inside is still challenging.
Helicopters generally require a larger space to land safely.
Inside the wire fence, the space is less than four times the size of the helicopter, quite difficult.
Dapao looked around, didn’t hesitate, and said: "No problem, this space is sufficient."
Third Uncle heard Li Yu’s words, furrowed his brow and said: "Xiao Yu, are you worried that more Zombies will come?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "Yes, for safety’s sake, we should park the helicopter inside, this wire fence looks sturdy.
We’ve spent so long cutting open the gate here, probably won’t be able to go back today.
It looks like there’s definitely something inside, if that’s confirmed, we must let the base people come over, otherwise it’s difficult for us to transport it all."
Third Uncle nodded in agreement and said: "Alright, do as you say, Dapao go park the helicopter inside, Old Qin, come with me."
Li Yu said: "I’ll go with you."
Upon saying that, the three of them walked toward the hillside.
Yang Tianlong watched their departing figures, hesitating whether to join them.
Ant’s voice came from the side: "Don’t look, they can solve it, let’s hurry and cut open this gate."
Yang Tianlong felt what was said made sense, then continued cutting the gate with Ant.
ZZZZ——
....
On the other side.
Third Uncle and the others left the military base and arrived at the opposite hill, watching the glowing Zombies coming from the field.
The movement speed of these Zombies was similar to those they had seen before.
But the biggest difference was the glow, emitting a strong fluorescence even in daylight.
These Zombies had already walked to the center of the field, only less than a hundred meters away.
Li Yu fired first, bang.
A bullet accurately hit one of the Zombies’ head.
Bang bang bang!
Then, Third Uncle and Old Qin also began shooting.
In under two minutes, they had dealt with all the Zombies.
Looking at the glowing Zombie bodies lying in the field, Third Uncle felt heavy-hearted; if what Xiao Yu said was true, humanity’s future would be even tougher.
This type of Zombie is impossible to fight at close range, can only be attacked long distance.
Contacting a Zombie body would be devastating to humans.
Where did these things come from, too disgusting!
After dealing with these Zombies, the three returned to the military base weighed down by thoughts.
Meanwhile, Dapao successfully parked the helicopter within the wire fence.
Old Qin returned, took the drone, and continued monitoring the surroundings.
Not just hovering, he patrolled around with the military base entrance as the center.
He astonishingly discovered that the military base was surrounded by wire fences, including within a hundred meters above.
Additionally, stone piers and guard posts were set up.
ZZZZ——
The sound of the cutting machine kept echoing.
After the earlier event, everyone was on high alert; this place was too mysterious, we must quickly open the gate to see if anything’s inside.
Finally, after half an hour.
At three thirty in the afternoon, as the last section was cut through.
The entire cut iron block sank down.
Li Yu and his team used equipment from the helicopter to force open this iron block.
Thud!
With a loud bang, a square hole about one and a half meters wide and tall appeared before them.
Once the massive door was open, there didn’t seem to be a lack of oxygen inside.
But to be safe, everyone put on helmets and masks.
"Old Qin...." Third Uncle suddenly spoke.
Before Third Uncle could finish, Old Qin said, "Alright, I’ll wait outside for you."
Upon hearing this, Third Uncle didn’t finish his sentence and bent down to enter the door.
Inside the door, it was dark, but one could feel it was extremely spacious.
This door was nearing ten meters high, and yet the inside was even larger than expected.
Upon entering, under the illumination of the lights, large overhead pipes and air vents came into view.
The corridor was spotless.
Except for a sluice gate on the wall, which seemed to be the switch for this hydraulic iron door.
Third Uncle tried pulling it downward slightly.
Rumble!
A massive door on the left and right began to slowly open.
This startled Li Yu and the others standing at the entrance, who quickly took a few steps forward.
As the huge iron door opened, outdoor light shone inside.
At the far end of the empty corridor, an enormous row of vehicles became visible.
"Holy crap! Missile cars!" Jackals’ eyes widened at the sight of several missile cars and ran over excitedly.
Even a rare smile appeared on Third Uncle’s face; missile cars!
Everyone ran over excitedly, only to find upon getting closer that these missile cars did not carry missiles, probably because they had been used up.
However, even without missiles, missile cars have significant uses.
These missile cars can withstand the forces of missiles, supported by brackets, with their performance being unmatched among all vehicles.
They can truly be called: the supreme rulers of the road.
General trucks have a load capacity of tens of tons, with those able to carry 30-40 tons considered large trucks.
Yet, these missile cars can easily carry over a hundred tons.
After all, a single missile easily weighs 30 to 40 tons.
Moreover, missile launch vehicles feature an eight-axle, 16-wheel, all-wheel-drive chassis, with a maximum load of 160 tons and incredibly strong anti-explosion capability, incapable of being penetrated even by Dapao’s fire.
Missile cars can be reused after all.
"It’s a pity there are no missiles left." Yang Tianlong remarked regretfully.
Third Uncle shook his head and said, "It’s good enough with these missile cars; they’re strong enough. You can mount artillery on them, which is also extremely potent."
Even if there were missiles, without satellites and sensing, they still couldn’t be launched."
Hearing Third Uncle’s words, Li Yu’s excitement calmed down a bit.
Just then!
Snap!
The sound of a diesel generator started up, followed by bulbs above gradually lighting up.
The entire underground passage became brightly lit.
Looking around, they were amazed.
"Captain! This is! 155mm towed howitzer, PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzer, 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun..."
"Amazing! Five infantry fighting vehicles, can you believe it, five of them!"
"These are all bullets; the entire room is filled with bullets!"
"Diesel, is all this really diesel? Must be at least two hundred tons here!"
....
With exclamations, they continuously discovered numerous weapons and equipment,
in addition to four missile launch vehicles, and accompanying survey vehicles, power vehicles, transport vehicles, and communication command cars.
Apart from these weapons, there were also conventional automatic sniper rifles, 300 sets of radiation protection clothing, assault rifles, hand grenades, etc.....
In the excitement, Li Yu felt the sense of abundance for the first time.
This underground military base was vast, much larger than imagined from outside.
However, he also had a concern—how to transport so much weaponry back?
The four missile cars could be put to use, probably able to transport nearly a thousand tons of arms together.
It still seemed inadequate; they’d need to get vehicles from the base.
At least dozens of heavy-duty trucks would be needed for transport.
.....
Besides these arms, they also found some military canned goods and compressed biscuits, with a long shelf life still remaining.
Everyone was immersed in this joyous atmosphere, with occasional bursts of laughter and shouting.
This made Old Qin, guarding outside, scratch his head inquisitively, eager to know what was happening.
But he couldn’t leave, as he had to remain on watch.
They’d just noticed glowing zombies; if not kept away, it would be troublesome if they got close.
Old Qin was vexed.
So, he fastened the spot where they had torn through the barbed wire with more wire, making it even more secure.
