Judging from the map, after crossing the toll station and walking forward for about one kilometer, you can see a small hilltop called "Sheyingding". The terrain there is higher and relatively open, making it an ideal place for the helicopter to land and where they can rendezvous with the military rescue team.
But when several people rushed to get to the rally point, the sight in front of them shocked them.
The expected rescue was no longer there, and there were only ruins and flames.
The helicopter wreckage visible to the naked eye is mainly scattered on a gentle slope of about 45 degrees. The scattered area is about 50 meters wide and about 100 meters up and down. The helicopter was broken off from the root of the tail rotor, and a fire was burning at the fracture, with thick smoke billowing from it.
The two thick rotor blades next to it had been twisted into twists. Perhaps there was an explosion after the crash, so the broken drive shaft and landing gear flew everywhere. Li Yishan saw in the telescope that the cabin had been completely scorched, and an "August 1st" logo on the fuselage was clearly visible.
Looking around, he could see a large number of gray-headed black corpses wandering nearby. From time to time, a few black corpses walked towards the flames and were ignited. Then they walked aside like torches and were slowly scorched and fell to the ground.
The sound of the black corpse falling to the ground immediately attracted the attention of other black corpses. Several ghost monkeys quickly rushed to the corpse, looked around, sniffed the charred corpse with their noses, and soon walked away in disappointment.
There were more than a dozen charred corpses next to the fuselage. They might be people or black corpses who appeared nearby when the explosion occurred. However, the corpses were so badly damaged that they were unrecognizable.
"How are you, company commander? Are there any of our people?" Chen Liang asked.
Li Yishan shook his head and said: "They are all burnt and unrecognizable. However, they were not found among this group of moving black corpses."
"That means he might still be alive?"
Li Yishan nodded: "It's possible, but the probability is very low."
The top of the camp is high and the signal is good. Not long after, Chen Liang, who served as a communications soldier, heard the noisy sound of electricity coming from his earphones.
"This is——"
"Ground team, please call back. I am the Wuzhi Brigade of the Southern Qi Military Region. My aircraft number is B95118. I have arrived in the designated airspace..."
"B95017 lost contact due to unknown reasons two hours ago. The headquarters has sent us to take over B95017 to perform the mission. Please call back if the ground team has reached the designated location."
Hearing this voice, Chen Liang immediately cheered up: "Company Commander, they are here."
The Southern Qi Military Region is only 380 kilometers away from Shashi. At this time, the second armed helicopter to respond to them has arrived.
"Reply them." Li Yishan instructed.
"B95118, this is Chen Liang, the ground team, codenamed Bai Ge. We have arrived at the designated area on the top of the camp."
"B95118 received. Please reply to the ground team to see if the target location has landing conditions..."
"The ground conditions are complex and not suitable for landing. We will use signal smoke to mark the location. Repeat, the ground conditions are complex..."
"B95118 received. We will hover within ten minutes after receiving the signal smoke. Please prepare the ground team."
Under Li Yishan's instruction, Shouhou sneaked to the west side of the open space and lit a can of signal smoke. After a few seconds, the pink smoke slowly spread and finally rose upward, forming a thick smoke column with a diameter of one meter.
Not long after, the sound of Wu Zhi's rotors was heard getting louder and louder. Above the woods, a camouflage green armed helicopter gradually emerged. The loud noise made all the black corpses on the hillside raise their heads and let out angry roars.
Upon seeing this, Li Yishan shouted: "Everyone listen to the order, spread out cover, shoot freely, and attract the black corpse to the other side!"
"yes!"
Amidst the gunshots, the group of corpses on the hillside at the top of the camp shrank greatly.
Thin Monkey is a late first-level ability user. His evolutionary ability is "Visual Capture", which allows him to detect the real-time dynamic changes of the target, so that he can hit the target with one hit.
Shooting at close range does not require a sniper rifle. Shouhou only holds an automatic pistol, but he achieves shooting accuracy comparable to that of a sniper rifle. Most of the ghost monkey black corpses on the hillside, as well as some speed-type black corpses that were good at running, were killed by the thin monkey alone. The skinny monkeys killed each other with gunshots. The 9mm bullets hit the eyes of the black corpses one by one, directly smashing their brains into a ball of paste!
But it seemed that there were many black corpses coming down the hillside, so the team was gradually surrounded by black corpses on the top of the hillside. Fortunately, Wu Zhi had already arrived at a height of tens of meters above everyone's heads, and the ladder for climbing had been lowered. Once the height was lowered, they could leave smoothly!
"Hold on! Chen Liang, hold the gap over there!"
Previously, they used parachutes to enter Shashi at high altitudes. That method of transportation was called parachuting. Corresponding to this are aircraft descent and rope descent, respectively, where the helicopter makes direct contact with the ground or lowers a rope or ladder for combatants to get up and down.
Even when empty, the Wuzhi weighs 5 tons. When it falls directly from the air to the ground, its gravitational potential energy is very large. If the ground is not hard enough, it is likely to cause damage to the ground, and in severe cases, overturning, resulting in aircraft damage and fatalities. The top of the camp is just an ordinary mountain with no hardened ground, and it obviously does not have the conditions for an air landing.
In addition, the rotor diameter of the helicopter is more than 20 meters, so it requires a lot of space when landing. The best open space was already occupied by the wreckage of the previous plane. Moreover, if the Wuzhi does not rise and fall quickly enough, it will easily be surrounded by corpses. The crashed one is a precedent!
At this moment, the branches and leaves in the forest swayed, and the next moment a black shadow flew out. If you look closely, it turned out to be a group of zombie birds! These corpse birds are composed of small birds such as sparrows and flower magpies. After escaping from the woods, they fly straight towards the hovering Wu Zhi.
"No, the noise attracted these guys!"
"Attention everyone, shoot towards the sky, quick!"
At the same time, the crew still in mid-air also discovered this scene. Wu Zhi's two machine guns fired violently, and cooperated with the ground team to shoot down the corpse birds one after another. But these guys were so small that even if everyone tried their best, they could only hit a small part of them.
"It would be great if Chen Fa and Wang Shuo were here. Their 'precision shooting' will definitely come in handy."
"Say less."
At the critical moment, Li Yishan threw the rifle, raised his hands forward and let out a loud roar.
"Frequency disturbance, shock waves!"
Seeing this, Skinny Monkey perked up and shouted quickly: "Cover the company commander!"
After saying that, everyone else gave up on the flock of corpse birds in the sky and pointed their guns at the approaching black corpses on the hillside. Countless bullets knocked the black corpses off their feet, and a translucent wave also appeared between Li Yishan and the group of corpse sparrows.
The shock wave swept through the nearby group of corpse birds with a roar, like ripples caused by an explosion, shaking the dense group of corpse birds back and falling, clearing the air.
"The company commander is mighty!"
"No, there are more than a dozen fish that slipped through the net, stop them!"
"Quick, they fly so fast!"
Thin Monkey and the others' eyes widened as they watched these dozen speed-type corpse sparrows crash into Wu Zhi in the sky with lightning speed. Most of them fell headlong on the hard casing of the Wuzhi and their brains exploded, while a few hit the high-speed rotating rotor and tail rotor.
In an instant, the tail rotor lost power and could not trim the main rotor torque, causing the aircraft body to spin. At the same time, the impact on the main rotor caused the phase difference between the blades to change, and the three blades were no longer balanced, resulting in a huge tearing force. This combined force caused the helicopter to sway violently during the descent. The swing of the fuselage excited the blades, and the vibration amplitude became larger and larger. It didn't take long for Wu Zhi to be on the verge of disintegration!
However, B95118 could no longer survive the moment of disintegration. It was originally hovering at a low altitude, and the pilot's operating time was really limited, so the fuselage had already tilted at a large angle!
Chen Liang shouted anxiously: "B95118, please make an emergency landing! Please make an emergency landing immediately!"
"No way, the autopilot can't be turned off! I'm doing manual stabilization..."
"It's going to disintegrate!"
"Bai Ge, I am trying my best to get out of the falling area and found a large group of corpses outside the target location. Please evacuate immediately. Repeat, a large group of corpses appeared outside the target location. Please evacuate immediately."
"B95118, please make a soft landing and we will pick you up."
"It's useless. I can't land anymore. Please keep moving forward..."
"Bang!"
But in less than ten seconds, the second Wuzhi was scrapped. The out-of-control helicopter passed the top of the mountain crookedly during the descent, and fell headlong on the nearby hillside, dying together with many black corpses.
The plane touched down, causing a massive dust storm, and it burst into flames and billowed black smoke. Suddenly, a man crawled out from the wreckage of the cabin. He looked like Wu Zhishang's gunner. He shouted in the direction where Chen Liang and others were, but before he could shout a few words, he was knocked down by several black corpses.
"White Pigeon, you... run!"
"brother!"
There was a burst of mist in Chen Liang's eyes, and he was about to step forward to fight, but was pulled back by the thin monkey.
"No, it's going to explode! Da Zhuang!"
"Here it comes! Physical strengthening!"
Da Zhuang took out a piece of iron sheet and stood it in front of him. He had picked it up next to the wreckage of Wuzhi earlier. When the ability is activated, the surface of this iron sheet, which is two meters wide and one meter high, emits a faint fluorescence. As soon as the others took cover behind Da Zhuang, the blast of air came.
"Bang——"
A broken piece of iron shell hit the iron sheet and bounced outwards, not even causing any damage to the thin iron sheet. When they stood up again, there was a sea of fire not far away. They didn't see the shadow of another person from beginning to end. Maybe the pilot died the moment he landed.
At the same time, a large number of black corpses were surrounding them from all directions, as if they were going to be treated as fat meat!
Only then did they remember that the map showed that there was a land for construction on the opposite side of the road, which belonged to the newly developed property market. And these black corpses wearing hard hats are obviously the results of the night of Advent!
"Damn it, don't they even stop working at night?"
"Company commander, let's contact the headquarters. The plane will arrive in just an hour."
"Asshole, do you want more comrades to die?" Li Yishan lectured Chen Liang, "With the situation here, who can hold on for an hour?"
"We can transfer, company commander, I... uh."
Suddenly there was a scream that broke through the air, and a slender bone awl flew out and pierced Chen Liang's chest.
The others' eyes widened, and Chen Liang looked down at the bone awl protruding from his chest, speechless. In an instant, blood foam surged into his throat, and Chen Liang fell down.
"Liangzi!" Thin Monkey shouted.
The next moment, more bone awls were coming, and with quick eyesight and quick hands, Li Yishan pulled the thin monkey back behind the "shield". The bone awl hit the strengthened "shield", causing violent tremors, and the strong body swayed with the tremors.
"Company commander, Liangzi..." Shouhou looked at Chen Liang who fell in Li Yishan's arms and was speechless.
Li Yishan's eyes were also red. After Chen Liang lost his life, he gently closed his eyes.
"Company commander, what should we do next?" Da Zhuang asked.
"How long can your ability last?"
"Half an hour."
"That's enough. There are many black corpses with bone spurs among the corpses. We break out with our shields."
"Let's go to the west. That's not the birthplace of the corpses. It's relatively easier to break through." Zhang Cheng suggested.
"Everyone check their weapons and follow me to break through!" Li Yishan gritted his teeth, "Sooner or later we will avenge this!"
"yes!"
…
While Li Yishan and others were trying their best to break out of the encirclement, there was a commotion in the Fengwei Mountain base thirty kilometers away.
In the conference hall on the second floor of the Langya City headquarters, Yang Xiaoxiao was the first to stand up and bang the table.
"What? You said you want to go back to Shashi, and by yourself? I don't agree!"
Li Liping also disagreed: "It's too unsafe to go by yourself."
Lin Wenjin also said: "The current Shashi is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Since we left last time, we have sent people to monitor the movements of the corpses in the Shashi. Fu Lianhe and his drones have discovered a lot of strange things."
"What? Corpses tend to gather?" Lang Hua frowned while sitting on the chair.
"It's not that there is, it's very much." Lin Wenjin sighed, "It's up to you, Mr. Fu."
"Yes," Fu Lianhe turned on his computer and reported, "Since we arrived at Fengwei Mountain more than a month ago, the black corpses in Shashi have begun to gather. The black corpses in Shashi District 3 began to gather on a large scale first, and then the black corpses in Shashi District 1 and Zone 2. They then moved toward the city center and are continuing to move southwest."
"Southwest? Isn't that where we are?" Xiao Heizi's eyes twitched and he almost stood up. "Is it possible that they want to attack us?"
"This possibility is very low. Although the human gathering point attracts black corpses, due to factors such as wind direction and terrain, it should be limited to the nearby five kilometers." Chen Xinyan pushed the glasses that fell on the bridge of her nose and judged, "I It must have been caused by the radio."
"What's the meaning?"
"A month ago, we called on the survivors in Shashi via radio to take refuge in Fengwei Mountain. The city center has the largest population. They are constantly moving here, and it is inevitable that they will not attract the black corpses."
"This is really..." Xiao Heizi was speechless for a moment.
"There is nothing to regret. Langya City needs a population, so we must be mentally prepared for the risks involved." Yang Bensheng, who was sitting in the deputy seat, said, "Besides, this place is forty kilometers away from the city center, and the black corpse is here Maybe we changed the route before reaching the jungle of Fengwei Mountain."
"That's right." Fu Lianhe agreed. "The map shows that after the corpses leave the suburbs of Shashi, the terrain becomes flatter, and there is a high possibility that the corpses will disperse."
"But why do they move to the city center in the first place?"
"Because there are so many living people in the city center?" Duan Qing whispered.
"It's possible," Lin Wenjin shook his head, "but I always feel weird."
"Come on, Dad." Lin Qian laughed and said, "You are always suspicious all day long."
She turned to Lang Hua and asked, "Xiaohua, do you really want to go to the city center?"
"Maybe I'll be there without having to go there." Lang Hua said with a smile.
Yang Xiaoxiao pouted and said: "Hey, it's mysterious."
Yang Bensheng also asked: "Is there any reason why we have to go?"
"Yes." Lang Hua said frankly.
"Okay, then we won't stop you anymore."
"Uncle!" Yang Xiaoxiao was anxious.
Yang Bensheng said slowly: "Your brother is very measured."
"At least let me go with you!"
Lang Hua reminded her: "Hey, I went alone last time. No, nothing happened, and I brought you back."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxiao became even more angry: "What's wrong? Then you're still unconscious, twice!"
"Well……"
"Anyway, I'm going. You can't do it without me."
"Ahem, in short, it will be easier for me to escape by myself. You won't object to this, right?"
After Lang Hua finished speaking, he looked at everyone, but this time they were surprisingly silent. Indeed, Lang Hua is now in the middle of the third level, the peak of the entire Wolf Cliff City's combat power, and can completely walk sideways among ordinary corpses. Moreover, these first- and second-level goods, wouldn’t they cause trouble to others if they go?
"All in all, I am no longer the same person I was a month ago." Lang Hua grinned.
Yang Xiaoxiao curled her lips and muttered: "Shashi is not the same as it was a month ago."
Lin Qian nodded and said: "A large-scale riot among corpses is indeed more dangerous. If possible, it is better not to go there..."
"Okay." Lang Hua said seriously, "This time there is a mission for you too. No one can escape when we go to Shashi."
"Ah?" Yang Xiaoxiao was surprised and happy.
"It's just that you won't go the same way with me." Lang Hua added.
"Can you please stop gasping when you speak..."
"While I'm away, Uncle Yang will have full command of Langya City. Old Chen continues to train new recruits. Recently, the area around Fengwei Mountain has been cleared. The next step is to gradually retake the city." At this time, a satellite image of Shashi was released on the projection screen. Lang Hua pointed to a certain point on the map and continued, "First of all, the trained recruits must take turns to fight in battle, practice in battle in this suburb, and at the same time reserve various supplies for the base."
"The new recruits will be led by Duan Hei and Uncle Lin to fight, and they are required to collect as much supplies as possible in the shortest time. Aunt Ping will also come on stage to assist you. The supplies found by the team members will be subject to a points contribution system, and the logistics department where Zheng Hong works will be responsible Register.”
"Promise to complete the mission!" Xiao Heizi said excitedly.
"What about me?" Yang Xiaoxiao jumped up and asked, pointing to her little nose.
"Haiping, Lan Xi, and Xiaoxiao, I need you to sneak into District 1, District 2, and District 3 of Shashi to inspect sites respectively. The deadline given to you is ten days, and you are required to focus on ascertaining the location information of various resource points, including but not limited to coal. , steel, fuel, glass manufacturing and pharmaceutical factories, etc. Remember, you don’t have to fight, you are allowed to stay away from dangerous areas where corpses gather, and in the event of an accident, give priority to ensuring your own safety.”
"Yes, leader." "Understood." "OK."
"Sister Xinyan, I need the research institute to quickly prepare a batch of awakening potions and charging potions."
"There happens to be a shipment today. If you want it, just bring it."
"Sister Qian, I need you and Uncle Yang to cooperate to complete the construction of the new outer city outside Langya City as soon as possible. My requirements are very simple, tall, thick, and fast in construction."
"It's really 'simple'. Do you know how much crystal energy it consumes for an earth-type ability user to build a wall?" Lin Qian laughed after hearing this, "It's really your job to instruct a mid-level ability user to do rough work."
It turned out that after the battle at Nata Mountain, she and Yang Bensheng had further improved their strength, and had successfully advanced to the next level with the help of the Star Grass promotion potion not long ago. The two of them are now at the early stage of the third level, and are the second-ranked mid-level ability users in Langya City after Lang Hua.
"This is none of my business. I'm just a deputy. City Lord Yang is ready to go into battle shirtless." Lang Hua laughed and turned the conversation to Yang Bensheng.
"That's right, I also want to get back to my old profession of civil engineering. Xiao Qian is my number one bricklayer here, haha."
Hearing this, others also laughed.
"Comrades," Lang Hua finally returned to his seat and took a deep breath. "If the worst happens, compared to the last petrochemical plant explosion, this time we may have to face a real wave of corpses. "
"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover up. In short, Langya City never fights an unprepared battle. Whether it is training troops, clearing corpses, or stocking up on supplies, these are major events that should be done sooner rather than later."
"I hope that with your joint efforts, Langya City can become a true doomsday fortress in the future, providing a ray of light for the future of the human race!"
"Yes!" Everyone present stood up and replied loudly, "Life is endless, struggle is endless; determination is unswerving, until death! Fengwei Mountain Langya City is willing to be a firewood!"
