NFBE Chapter 1012 Trailblazers
Chapter 1012 Trailblazers
After returning from Fengdu, Qin Chong took advantage of the time while Yan Shikai and the others were preparing supplies to travel back and forth between Yiyang and Bali three times, killing wave after wave of mutated birds along the aerial route.
After several killings, Qin Zhong's ferocity was deeply imprinted in the minds of those mutated birds.
Finally, whenever Qin Chong appeared, the birds would flee in all directions like startled birds.
After resolving the aerial threats, Qin Zhong began preparing for another major undertaking: regaining control of Yiyang Airport. He needed to relocate over 60,000 survivors there, and without control of the airport, he feared he wouldn't be able to accomplish this.
After all, those civilian passenger planes in the airport are also very important supplies in Qin Zhong's next plan.
However, regaining control of the airport is not an easy task.
Yiyang Airport was initially built as a first-class permanent military airport, which once housed a large number of military aircraft. Later, after negotiations between the local government and the military, the airport was included in the national civil aviation plan and underwent a transformation to be used for both military and civilian purposes. It is now classified as a 4C-level military-civilian joint-use branch airport.
The airport handles 30 passengers and 4000 tons of cargo annually. While this isn't a huge number, the staff and travelers involved make up an enormous number.
In addition, when the virus broke out, many people wanted to escape by plane, which attracted a large number of zombies and surrounded the airport.
In other words, to regain control of Yiyang Airport, it is necessary to clear out the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of zombies roaming the airport.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult task.
However difficult the task may be, it must still be completed.
Therefore, after a week of preparation, Qin Zhong finally gave the order to gather a large number of soldiers and evolved beings to clean up and regain control of Yiyang Airport.
After all, once the airport is under control, it will take a lot of effort to get it back in operation. In order to maximize efficiency, Qin Zhong must fully restore the airport before the supplies are ready.
In this operation, Qin Zhong appointed Yan Shikai as the commander-in-chief, leading Xiao Yingyong, Wang Yue, and others, piloting mechs and bringing along four thousand elite soldiers to carry out the operation.
The reason Yan Shikai was chosen as the commander-in-chief was to allow him to get used to the situation in advance and to prepare for the upcoming zombie cleanup in Bali.
Of course, Qin Zhong couldn't just sit idly by. He also brought his five battle pets—Little V, Wood, Golden Eagle, Giant Eye, and Mirror Demon—to participate in the cleanup.
After all, level 5 zombies have already appeared. If such a super zombie appears near the airport, Qin Zhong will need to take action; otherwise, his soldiers will suffer a catastrophic blow.
And so, Qin Zhong, Sun Xiaoyan, and Xiao Yingyong rode on the wooden backs, following the main group, and headed towards Yiyang.
Despite its bulky size, after receiving Chu Jiu's reward over this period, its physique has grown larger and larger, and its movements have become increasingly agile.
Even when crawling on land, this behemoth's speed surpassed that of all armored vehicles and tanks, taking the lead and becoming the leader of the entire team.
At this moment, Wood's terrifying group combat strength also became apparent.
Its enormous size allows it to exert powerful killing force even when facing large numbers of zombies.
As it rampaged through the area, the zombies blocking its path were constantly torn to pieces by its giant mouth and long tail.
Even the occasional robust Level 3 T-type zombie that popped out was swallowed whole by Wood, chewed up like a human chewing a broad bean, and then swallowed into his stomach.
As a pioneer, Wood is undoubtedly a very competent road-clearing machine. Along the way, whenever an abandoned car blocks the road, Wood only needs to bite and fling it away to send the car flying far away.
Even the massively heavy dump truck was thrown out like a light pebble under the immense force of the wood.
……
Seeing the wooden figure charging ahead recklessly, Wang Boshen, Wang Yue, Yan Shikai, and the others, who were following behind in mechs, couldn't help but swallow hard.
After acquiring the mechs, they were initially overconfident, believing they could put up a fight against high-level zombies and mutated beasts.
Only now, seeing the terrifying appearance of the wooden figure, did they realize that if they were to fight the wooden figure in their mechs, they would likely be the ones who lose, not the terrifying crocodile.
With the wooden car leading the way, the entire team moved forward at an extremely fast pace. In just a few hours, they crossed the heavily blocked highways and arrived at Minggang Airport in Yiyang City.
Although they were mentally prepared, when they arrived at the airport and saw the scene before them, they couldn't help but gasp.
The entire Minggang Airport has now turned into a black ocean, teeming with countless zombies. Clearing out all of them will not be an easy task.
"Everyone, listen up! Establish defensive lines. Evolvers and mutated beasts are the first line of defense, mechs are the second line of defense, armored vehicles and tanks are the third line of defense, and the rest of the soldiers, take cover behind the third line of defense and launch an attack!"
Upon seeing the dense horde of corpses before him, Yan Shikai, the commander-in-chief, immediately and calmly gave the order, changing the proactive charge he had previously discussed with Qin Zhong into a defensive formation.
Sitting cross-legged on the wooden frame, Qin Zhong nodded slightly. Yan Shikai was indeed a soldier; his ability to perform under pressure was remarkable. His current commands were absolutely the most suitable for the moment.
Soon, following Yan Shikai's order, the convoy came to a stop and lined up in a row, forming an ironclad line.
Meanwhile, Wang Boshen, Wang Yue, and others piloted their mechs, got off the vehicles, and blocked the convoy, forming a second line of defense.
The rest, the evolved humans without mechs and Qin Zhong, stood at the very front of the group, becoming the vanguard.
"Hoohoho!"
Before long, as the zombies sensed the presence of living beings, the black sea of corpses began to boil almost instantly.
Then, countless hideous zombies began to roar and relentlessly crushed towards the convoy, like a black sea of corpses rising, attempting to drown these fresh-faced humans.
"Tanks and armored vehicles, prepare! Target: mid-section of zombies! Fire!"
Looking at the sea of corpses spreading in the distance, Yan Shikai calmly gave the order, and immediately the tanks' thick cannons and the rocket launchers on the top of the armored vehicles opened fire.
With a series of soft sounds, countless fiery red shells and missiles, trailing long fiery tails, rushed towards the dense horde of black corpses.
"Boom boom boom!" Accompanied by a series of dense and loud booms, the endless black sea of corpses was blasted into one crater after another.
The shockwave and debris from the explosion instantly shredded countless zombies into pieces and burned them to charcoal.
However, there were simply too many zombies. Although this wave of intense bombardment killed or injured many zombies, the zombies continued to flood the black sea of corpses like an endless tide, refilling the ranks and advancing towards the group.
