Chapter 95: The Frozen New York Harbor
Ice, thick ice, crystal clear ice, ice that could see the harbor facilities below - the whole New York Harbor was completely frozen by the flooding water.
Because the harbor is empty, the wind here is so strong that the snow cannot settle in the harbor, so the frozen sea water is clearly exposed.
The dam has completely collapsed, and seawater has poured into the port, and the former bustling facilities of the port are now frozen under the ice.
In the middle of the harbor, the Statue of Liberty, once a symbol of freedom and civilization, had fallen, her tall body half-hidden in the ice cap, and the statue was only half of its head with a crown, and the indomitable torchbearer still stretched out above the ice.
Three capsized ships were stuck in the ruins of the dam, their hulls deformed, half of their hulls completely frozen in the sea, and New York Harbor was now a complete apocalyptic sight.
Chen Hang and Verelle removed the skateboard on their feet, and they slowly walked to the ice.
It's quite like it's flying through the air, and the frozen ice is transparent, like glass. Beyond the ice sheet beneath their feet, Chen Hang and Verier could clearly see what was going on underneath the ice sheet, where a port forklift had flipped on its side on the dock.
Ropes and steel cables are in a mess, containers are completely deformed by frozen seawater, and high-value goods are scattered everywhere in civilized society.
Dozens of meters ahead, Verelle suddenly jumped to the left, and she flashed to the side a little nervously.
Chen Hang glanced over there with his spare eyes, he silently took Verier's hand, and the two of them slowly left the area.
The sun shone into the ice cap, and a man froze beneath the ice. The man was dead, his skin was completely white, his hands were spread out on the ice, and there was a look of horror in the man's eyes.
This man was drowned in a tsunami, and he was still struggling before he died, but he was finally defeated by the fury of nature - he did not die.
As they pushed into the interior of the port, Chen Hang and Verelle saw more corpses, all of them frozen in the thick ice cap.
Among these corpses, there are port workers, police officers who have come to support, and zombies who have mutated. Without exception, they are unable to resist the power of nature, and the entire New York harbor has been transformed into a giant crystal coffin.
When Chen Hang and Verelle arrived at the site of the collapsed dam, they saw that the ice stretched out, and from the harbor outwards, a full two kilometers of sea water had been completely frozen.
But two kilometers later, the sea could still be seen rippling, and the waves piled up the broken ice, creating an ice wall at the end of the ice sheet.
As for the ships that the team had come up with, they were all frozen in the sea.
Unable to find a working boat, Chen and Verelle had to look for the entrance to the tunnel, but two hours later, they stood on top of a dam in disappointment.
Right in front of Chen Hang and Verelle, a half-curved tunnel entrance was exposed above the iceβthe sea water pouring into New York City flooded the Cross-Sea Tunnel, and the interior of this undersea tunnel must have been frozen by the frozen seawater.
"Hang, what should we do? Is there any other way to get out of here?"
Verelle asked in a low voice with a disappointed face.
Chen Hang raised his hand to build a pergola, he tried his best to look towards the open sea, and after a while, Chen Hang replied: "Jane, borrow your scope, I seem to see something." β
Verelle was surprised, her eyesight had always been excellent, Verelle had already scanned the ocean just now, but the snow was too dense, and she didn't see anything.
"What do you see? Over there? Verier asked Chen Hang while dismantling the scope.
Chen Hang, still looking in the direction of the open sea, replied: "It seems to be a big ship, just above the ocean in the distance, and I seem to hear an explosion." β
"Impossible, right? I'm a sniper, I didn't even see or hear. Verelle handed the dismantled scope to Chen Hang's hand, and she tried to look over there. But apart from the frozen ocean and the snow, Verelle couldn't see anything.
Chen Hang took the scope, and he explained with a smile: "I have already begun to evolve, my current eyesight and hearing are not comparable to yours, and I am not sure what genes these abilities come from."
Hey, what's that? There really is a big boat. Oh my God, someone is baring fire on an aircraft carrier! β
"What? Is it the army? β
Verelle was surprised, she immediately snatched the scope, and Verelle leaned her eyes behind her.
After a brief search, Verelle found the aircraft carrier, which was the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Wells, which she was familiar with, and which was a weapon of the U.S. military stationed in New York Harbor.
Inside the scope, Verelle saw three sides in battle.
An army was firing heavily, their weapons in their hands, helicopters in the air spraying ammunition at the aircraft carrier's landing platform, and the dense bullets were sparkling there.
And just above the aircraft landing platform of the mothership, a tide of zombies is pouring out, zombies are dressed in various costumes, they should be the New York citizens evacuated from the aircraft carrier, these citizens have all turned into zombies for some reason.
The zombie tide rushed to the deck, they were torn to pieces by the roaring fire, rotten flesh and bones stirred into the sky, and the deck of the aircraft carrier was already covered in blood.
But the number of zombies is too much, and although the torrent of metal blocks most of the zombies, this tide of corpses is still slowly pressing towards the camp of the army.
The army seemed to have lost control of the carrier, and they were struggling to hold on, and the team was retreating into small groups into helicopters on the deck of the route.
However, the most strange thing is that this army is not only fighting zombies, they also split a part of it to fire at the conning tower on the deck of the aircraft carrier, and the ammunition that hits the conning tower is very ferocious, as if there is some monster hidden on the tower.
A huge black shadow flashed through the tower's tower, swiftly dodging the torrent of metal, and then disappeared into the back of the tower again, and the shadow smashed out a black whirring thing.
The thing flew into the sky, and it slammed into the suspended helicopter gunship, destroying the nose of the helicopter on the spot and the helicopter falling in smoke in tow.
"Oh my God, am I dazzled? I saw the 'golden steel'. β
Verelle lowered her scope in a daze, and she muttered.
Chen Hang was stunned: "What gold steel?" He snatched the scope away.
