"Okay, let's meet on the artificial island." Liu Qimeng, who was originally silent, suddenly said, and after speaking, she motioned to Ma Jin to leave first.
Zhang Xu nodded and sighed slightly when he saw their backs.
Time waits for no one. Liu Qimeng took Gao Peng and his team to set off early without much pause. After all, they were a team of evolvers and were very fast.
It's only over a hundred kilometers in a straight line from Luoyang City to Xujing City. Even if you encounter mutated creatures and evolved zombies along the way, it won't take many days.
On the other side of Zhang Xu, the gloomy drizzle was as silky as cotton. He stopped outside a base and looked at the passing search team, feeling like a dark cloud in the sky.
Han Lu is Han Yi's sister. Zhang Xu knows this. He heard from Han Lu before that they are half-brothers and sisters, and they don't have much interaction with each other.
Although Han Yi himself was not doing well, Han Lu should be informed of his death, so he chose to come in person.
Zhang Xu was not given much chance to think. As the deputy commander, Han Yi's people discovered him.
Zhang Xu had no intention of hiding it, so it was natural for him to be found. Several people also invited Zhang Xu to Han Yi.
Both of them looked unhappy. Out of helplessness, Han Yi took the lead and said, "What do you want to do here?"
Looking at Zhang Xu who was silent, Han Yi's face showed a little nervousness. He glanced around, wanting to leave this depressing place.
"Han Lu...she is dead...I came here because I want to attend her funeral with you." Finally, Zhang Xu said these words. He lowered his head and his eyes were dull.
This sentence penetrated deeply into Han Yi's heart! "What?! Han Lu is... dead!" Han Yi's voice gradually rose, followed by the overwhelming anger that swept through his body.
boom! The metal wall creaked, and Han Yi pushed Zhang Xu hard against the wall. His eyes widened with only anger.
Zhang Xu did not resist, because it was his idea to take Han Lu out of the artificial island, and he really regretted it.
After a moment, Han Yi calmed down and sent Zhang Xu away. He murmured to himself: "Why, why are you so useless..."
"It's all my fault... I clearly said I would take good care of her." Zhang Xu said with shame.
…
The spring rain in March was freezing and biting. Zhang Xu stood in the rain and looked at the tombstone in front of him. On it was a photo of Han Lu during his lifetime, and he was stunned.
The faces behind him were all very familiar. Han Yi also came. After asking whether the murderer was a poisonous bee, he also fell into deep guilt. If he hadn't been complicit at the beginning, maybe what happened later wouldn't have happened, and Han Lu wouldn't have died.
This is the magical butterfly effect. Even a little choice can make a huge difference in the future.
After burying Han Lu, Zheng Qing, Feng Jun and Ashin, no one said much. The silence alone represented their inner sorrow. Throughout the day, few people spoke because they were all in a bad mood.
The next day, Zhang Xu said goodbye to Yao Yuanyuan and the others, and chose to leave the artificial island with Liu Qimeng and the others. After all, he still had an important task to bring back Teng Jing and the others.
Of course, what he was thinking in his heart was different from what he said on the surface. This time the base on Insect Island was dug out and left outside, which was a good time to get the Delman spaceship.
Originally, Zhang Xu was worried that he would not have a chance, but now the opportunity is right in front of him, and the spaceship is just around the corner, but there is only one problem, and that is crossing the sea.
Now is no different than before. If a ship dares to enter the water, it will be attacked by countless underwater creatures, and no matter how strong the ship is, it will be destroyed.
It can only stop at the port and remain motionless, so that no living thing will chew on the iron sheet.
It's even worse when flying. Even if you take off, the mutated creatures in the air will crash into you until the plane crashes. If it were on the ground, Zhang Xu might be fine, but if he fell directly into the sea, it would be difficult to deal with it without a place to stay.
With Zhang Xu's speed, he could run wildly on the water in a short time without sinking, but he really didn't have that much physical strength to cross a sea.
Even if there are islands in the sea, it won't work, because there will always be mutant creatures on the way, which will not give Zhang Xu a chance to rest.
Liu Qimeng took Zhang Xu to see Fan Yucheng, who was accompanied by Fan Yongsi and Fan Ling. Zhang Xu and the others discussed many ways on the way, but none of them could send Zhang Xu to Country R. More importantly, how to send Chongming Island to Chongming Island? The people at the base were sent back.
In this special period of the end of the world, if foreigners stay in other countries, don't expect much help from this country. If you don't drive them away, you have already done your best. Why should you, a foreigner, share food with the people of this country?
The latest news is that Squidward is about to land, with more than ten days left, and it has been moving in a straight line.
Fan Yucheng had a sad look on his face, and his eyes were bloodshot: "Country R does not allow Teng Jing and the others to stay there permanently. Once the Squidward fusion enters the area of Country R, it will be bombed by strategic missiles, including those dozen Wan's compatriots." He finished these words tremblingly and sighed again.
Liu Qimeng slowly clenched the handle of the knife in her hand, murderous intent overflowing. Ma Jin froze on the spot and said nothing.
Zhang Xu was not disturbed by these words, because he knew that it was almost impossible to bring back hundreds of thousands of people. Now he could only seriously think about how to reach country R.
At the same time, he still had a question, why did Squidgar choose to enter the sea?
What attracts this zombie creature? Food? But if it wants to eat, it shouldn't need to go so far. It can eat enough just by swimming in the sea.
This was what puzzled Zhang Xu the most, but time waited for no one, so he didn't think much about it. This question just flashed through his mind.
Zhang Xu took a few steps, and through the conference room, he saw the missiles stacked outside the window, and his thoughts gradually came to him.
"I seem to have a way to go to Country R, but this method is a bit... unrealistic." Zhang Xu touched the hair on the back of his head and said with a smile.
Everyone looked at the young man with doubts on their faces. Fan Yucheng was slightly stunned and said, "What is the solution?"
Soon, Zhang Xu expressed his thoughts. "No, it's too risky. If you do this, it will obviously start a war. Even if this method is feasible, it will only send you to country R. We have no way to bring back your compatriots..." The plan was firmly rejected by one person. Only Fan Yucheng and the others were silently thinking about something.
Zhang Xu's method is very simple, that is, take a strategic missile. If Squidward keeps traveling in a straight line, it will eventually reach Changqi City.
The straight-line distance between Xujing City in Henan Province and Changqi City is about 1,500 kilometers. A medium-to-long-range tactical missile can be deployed to reach Country R.
To be able to quickly cross these more than a thousand kilometers, an airplane must be blocked by flying creatures. Only those super-high-speed missiles that take off in a straight line can break through.
Mutated organisms have only strengthened their cells. Their original habits have not changed too much, they have just become irritable and aggressive.
Birds don't fly very high into the sky, and even if they could, it's cold, the air is thin, and there's not much food.
It's not like Zhang Xu has never thought about riding a rocket. Country Z's manned space technology has crushed all countries. Of course, there are also higher-level planet-level strategic fleets, which Zhang Xu probably cannot touch.
Taking the launch vehicle alone as an example, if Zhang Xu can really get it, there are many conditions that need to be met if the hundreds of thousands of survivors want to fall from the space station of Country Z to Country Z.
Not only is it time-consuming and laborious to launch a rocket into space, but many of the technicians involved were also lost to zombies.
If calculated based on 80 kilograms per person, 100,000 people would cost 8 million kilograms. This is only based on 100,000 people. This weight conversion would require 4,000 tons. And the Changzheng Z-815, which has the largest carrying capacity, It only has a carrying capacity of 400 tons in low-Earth orbit, which is the largest among all countries.
If calculated this way, it would probably be 10 ships. Regardless of this quantity, the strong gravitational acceleration during liftoff is not something that weak and sick survivors can endure. It is likely that most people will be knocked down or even die directly.
Normal astronauts are mostly selected from ace pilots and have to undergo rigorous training, but now as long as they are evolved, they may already have these abilities.
Moreover, most launch vehicles carry cargo to the space station for supplies and experimental equipment, and are used to carry a large number of people. This idea will probably be rejected by these people.
Of course, Zhang Xu has also thought about other ideas. For example, the power of the hoverboard cannot support Zhang Xu's long-distance flight. The anti-gravity tank cannot be raised and is only a few meters above the water. The purpose of its invention is only to move quickly and break through rugged terrain.
Now, the only best way is to sit on the missile!
"We don't have much time. This is the best way to send me to Changqi City!" Zhang Xu slapped the table with both hands, and the metal table dented slightly, making these people slightly startled.
In the last days, these people who escaped the zombies will be buried under the bombings of the same kind? No one wants to!
Several people were silent, and one of them laughed deeply: "Send people away with missiles... This is really the most interesting way I have ever seen in my life... However, strategic missiles are too small. If you want to send people away with you... Your luck may go off the rails.”
Zhang Xu also smiled: "It's okay, as long as it's not far from Changqi City."
"Well...if you want to, I can give you strategic missiles. But the problem is that the speed of this missile is too fast, the lowest is Mach 15, and after the missile enters the atmosphere, with the acceleration of gravity, it will reach 33 Mach." The person who spoke before was silent for a while and continued to explain.
"How about removing the high-explosive materials and replacing them with him?" Another person suggested at this time.
Others were talking, but this man smiled and shook his head: "The missile is satellite-guided. It knows where the target is, but people don't know. If you can't observe the situation outside, you may miss the opportunity."
Yes, of course, country Z cannot aim the Dongfeng missile at neighboring country R. According to the plan, it will pass through an altitude of tens of thousands of meters in country R and finally land in an uninhabited sea area. During this period, Zhang Xu needs to watch the timing of his whereabouts. Otherwise, he will also sink to the bottom of the sea without knowing it.
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
