Chapter 269: Plane Crash
The zombies Lan Yulian was talking about were a group of third-order elite zombies who were two or three meters tall, had knotted muscles, and were holding some construction waste as weapons in their hands.
This looks like a power-type zombie, and if they come under the high walls of the base, they will definitely pose a certain threat to the high walls.
As for what they are capable of, Wang Tao doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know.
Buzz –
The transport plane slowed down and circled in the air.
The cargo door at the tail slowly opened, revealing Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and the heavy machine guns in their hands with seat belts strapped. Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan next to him were holding bullet chains, ready to reload at any time.
Wang Tao aimed at the group of muscular zombies and pulled the trigger fiercely.
Da Da Da –
The surging tongue of fire instantly hit one of the zombies.
【-2834】
【-3129】
【-3210】
【……】
In a moment, the zombie's head burst like a ripe watermelon.
One thing to say, Wang Tao felt that when dealing with zombies below the fourth order, the efficiency of the heavy machine gun might be higher than that of him personally fighting.
Especially this kind of situation where you can shoot zombies in the head when you fly in the sky, it's not too cool.
If there is a downside, fixed-wing aircraft cannot hover in the air like helicopters. Even if Wang Tao has accurate shooting, this brings great difficulty to his aiming.
But Wang Tao thought about it again, he was not short of this bullet, there was no need to pursue any kills or anything like that, and it would be over if he was directly covered by firepower!
As a result, Wang Tao no longer deliberately pursues headshots, just aim at this group of zombies and pull the trigger!
Da Da Da –
Da Da Da –
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue shot together, and the two tongues of fire devoured the zombie group unscrupulously. Countless numbers floated from the zombies' heads.
The roar of the plane's engines and the loud noise from the gunfire attracted a large number of zombies, who followed the planes and ran underneath, quickly causing some chaos in the interior of the zombie tide.
Even many zombies besieging the base began to chase the plane. This was a surprise for Wang Tao. After all, no matter how much these zombies chase them, they can't pose any threat to him, and they will only reduce the pressure on the base.
"Drop the bomb!"
Wang Tao said to a few people.
He Jijun had previously made some improvised earthen bombs from materials from military bases. The power of these earth bombs may not be very large, but there should be no problem in dealing with these dense zombies below.
Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan immediately began throwing bombs.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
A few people could clearly see that many zombies were blown up to the ground, and even if they didn't die, they lost their ability to fight.
Da Da Da –
Wang Tao continued to pull the trigger on the group of third-order elite zombies.
It didn't take long for this group of muscular zombies to be solved by Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue.
After clearing the trouble, Wang Tao looked at the other places, and he covered the zombies that he felt was threatening with firepower.
Then the plane flew over the Bauhinia base and dropped all the airdrops.
Wang Tao contacted Lan Yulian again.
"Yulian, Xiaofeng, there are a lot of supplies in here, including machine guns or something. You look at ......"
Seeing those airdrops, Lan Yulian didn't feel too excited, she just said a little reluctantly:
"Wang Tao, are you leaving? You ......"
She wanted to see Wang Tao, but she was afraid of troublesome Wang Tao.
"I wanted to go down to see Ling and Xiaofeng, but there was nowhere to land!"
Wang Tao spoke a little helplessly.
Fixed-wing aircraft are different from helicopters in that they need airports for landing and take-off, and even if there is no airport, at least a straight and wide road. Bauhinia City obviously does not meet this condition for take-off and landing.
"It's also ......"
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng glanced at each other, and there was some pity in their eyes.
She wanted to ask Wang Tao what was going on, but she didn't ask.
And Wang Tao seemed to know her thoughts, he explained simply:
"The military base is safe, but there is no one else except us, and there are a large number of zombies in Wuyang City near the military base, and there are even fourth-order giant zombies tens of meters high. Obviously, we can't hold it, so we won't stay at the military base for long, maybe we'll be back in a few days. ”
"Huh? You have to be careful! We are here for you! ”
Hearing this, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were both a little worried and excited. They naturally want to be with Wang Tao.
"Hmm. By the way, the airdrop I gave you contains ways to contact military bases, both wireless and wired. You were an official organization base before, and there may be some underground cables or something reserved for you, and Bauhinia City is not too far from the military base, so you can go back and see if you can get in touch with ......"
Wang Tao didn't have much hope, but it wouldn't be in the way to give it a try.
"Good!"
After Wang Tao said a few more words to Lan Yulian, he took his leave.
"Alright, I've got to go, and by the way, I'll help you lead away some of the zombies. I'll come back again......"
"Hmmm! You must be safe! ”
"So are you."
Buzz –
He Jijun had just been hovering at a low altitude near Bauhinia City with a plane, attracting a large number of zombies. As soon as they left now, the zombies immediately chased after them.
Wang Tao took a look, this attracted at least one-third of the zombies near the base, which should relieve a lot of pressure on the base.
After leaving Bauhinia City, the zombies behind him also slowly fell from the team and disappeared.
"Next, let's take a trip to the Redstone base."
Wang Tao returned to the co-pilot.
"Okay."
Wang Tao knew the location of the redstone base, He Jijun had seen the map before, he turned the direction slightly, and flew towards the redstone base.
What the redstone base looks like, Wang Tao has never seen. He had only heard some news about the Redstone Base during the early days of the apocalypse, when he had not been disconnected.
His impression of the Redstone base is two words - safety.
At that time, many people also went to the redstone base, and Wang Tao also paid special attention to a few people to see their news. But it's a pity that the network was disconnected later. Wang Tao didn't know what their specific situation was......
When Wei Zhenguo and the others fled at that time, the place they went to was the Redstone Base, and Wang Tao felt that they should be able to go, and there was even a high probability that they would be in the Redstone Base.
The Redstone base is a bit far from Bauhinia City and will take some time.
Along the way, Wang Tao has already seen many corpse tides, large and small.
It feels like these zombies are particularly active, and I don't know what the situation is.
However, apart from the Bauhinia base, Wang Tao has not seen a second survivor base. Of course, it is also possible that there are survivors who hide well and are not visible from the sky. But it still made his heart a little heavy.
The only thing to be thankful for is that I haven't encountered a fourth-order zombie for the time being.
Wang Tao speculated that maybe there were only a certain number of fourth-order zombies near Wuyang City?
The base that had contacted them before, but had been destroyed, was located at a certain distance from both Wuyang City and Bauhinia City, and the three were in the shape of horns with each other. The zombies there may have passed from Wuyang City.
But if that's the case, then Bauhinia City may also usher in fourth-order zombies, after all, Bauhinia City and Wuyang City are adjacent to each other.
Wang Tao frowned and thought. If there were really a lot of fourth-order zombies coming to Bauhinia City, he would have to find a way to pick up Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng. For example, with helicopters.
But there are still more than 10,000 people at the Bauhinia base......
Shaking his head, Wang Tao stopped thinking about these things.
His abilities are limited, he is not a savior, and he cannot be a savior.
After some time, the plane finally reached the confines of Redstone County.
"Huh?"
Hongshi County is not big, and you can see the whole picture of Hongshi County from afar.
But...... What about the Survivor Base?
Before he was off the Internet, Wang Tao had seen photos of the redstone base, and the high wall made him fascinated.
But now, there are no high walls, and the tallest building here may be the ten-story hotel that has long been abandoned.
Wang Tao's face was a little ugly.
Is the Redstone Survivor Base fake? But not really...... It's impossible for the government to deceive people about this, right? After all, the Bauhinia base is all true......
At this time, He Jijun suddenly spoke:
"There seem to be traces of a high wall in that ruin......"
Wang Tao looked at the place he was pointing at, and suddenly frowned.
The ruins in the last days are too common, and Wang Tao didn't care about it before. But now that I look at it, there are indeed some collapsed buildings that look like high walls on the ruins.
The plane circled nearby, and Wang Tao also saw the situation here.
But his face was even more ugly.
"It used to seem like there was a big base here, but it was destroyed! There is a high probability that it was blown up by explosives, and even the root of the wall was blown up......"
Wang Tao suddenly thought of the Bauhinia base, which contained a large amount of explosives, so that when the base fell, there was a means to die with the zombies!
So this redstone base, could it be that this self-detonation device was activated and died with the zombies?
If that were the case, there would have been a desperate crisis! Otherwise, there is no need to destroy a base!
It's like the Bauhinia Base, which was not built at that time, and fell when it was still a semi-finished product. But at that time, the base did not self-detonate. It may be that they still have a chance to retake the base, and in fact there are survivors who have taken the base back from the zombies.
And now this redstone base, maybe the people inside were completely desperate at that time, knowing that there was no hope, so they could only die with the zombies......
Now there's one question left. That is when this base exploded, before Wei Zhenguo and the others went, or after they went......
He Jijun quickly gave the answer.
"I think this base should have exploded quite early."
Then he explained:
"Compared with the Bauhinia base, it is obvious that the scope of this base site is relatively small, but the space here is not small, and a larger base can be built."
"Since these bases are built by the government, the design should be similar in the case of similar space, and they are all for large survivor bases, so there is no need to make some small bases."
"So I think there may have been problems with this base at the beginning of its construction. Didn't you say that the Bauhinia base had an accident before it was completed, and the accident at this base must have happened earlier than the Bauhinia base......"
After listening to He Jijun's analysis, Wang Tao's frowning brows stretched a little.
If this is the case, then Wei Zhenguo and they still have the possibility of living. After all, at the beginning of the apocalypse, they were all at the base of Mizusawa University.
Wang Tao asked He Jijun to fly around Hongshi County a few more times, including the nearby county seat, but found nothing.
"Forget it, let's go back."
Wang Tao shook his head.
He feels that his current mentality is a bit like He Jijun.
As long as He Jijun didn't find his granddaughter, he felt that his granddaughter still had the possibility of being alive.
Wang Tao is now that as long as he doesn't see the corpses of Wei Zhenguo, Ding Yuqin, and Han Rui, then they may be alive.
"I hope you're still alive......"
……
After some time, the plane returned to Wuyang City again.
Wang Tao felt that there seemed to be more zombies in the corpse tide!
"Giant Zombies!"
Yang Changhong pointed to a place on the side and exclaimed.
Wang Tao followed her gaze and saw a huge figure.
In the huge tide of corpses, the giant zombie was very conspicuous, and it could be seen that it seemed to be walking in the direction of the east, but because of the arrival of the plane, it was attracted to attention and came to the plane again.
"Let's go."
He Jijun did not hesitate, and directly pulled up the control stick and let the plane climb up.
Although the giant zombies can't even catch up with helicopters, they can't catch up with this fixed-wing aircraft. But giant zombies can throw things, and they can smash them accurately. In case the plane is smashed down, it will be bloody and unlucky.
The plane quickly climbed upwards, and soon after entering the clouds, the giant zombie was no longer visible.
Before a few people could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw that the cabin suddenly went dark, all the screens and indicator lights went out, and the roaring engine of the plane disappeared instantly!
"What's the situation?"
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment.
He Jijun's face changed greatly, but before he could say anything, everyone sensed that the plane shook violently, and then fell to the ground!
Whoop -
The plane rotates!
Items flying in the cabin! If it weren't for Wang Tao and the others wearing seat belts, it is estimated that they would have been thrown off directly!
Feeling that the world was beginning to turn upside down, Wang Tao hurriedly yelled at He Jijun next to him.
"Lao He! What's going on! ”
"All the electronic equipment on the plane is paralyzed! The engine is off! The device won't boot and can't be saved! We have to skydive! Fast! Put on your gear! Parachuting! ”
He Jijun said loudly to Wang Tao.
“?”
Wang Tao was a little confused.
Electronics paralyzed?
The engine stalled?
What the hell is going on!
But there was no time to hesitate now, Wang Tao waved his hand, and two black vines shot out of his wrist, and these vines instantly took the parachute fixed on the wall of the plane cabin.
The plane was spinning and shaking all the time. With some difficulty, he put the parachute on his body.
And others simply can't get their hands on a parachute.
Seeing this, Wang Tao took the parachute with the iron tree vine and handed it to them.
"Put them all on!"
He Jijun's reaction was the fastest, and after he took the parachute handed over by Wang Tao, he put it on his body in a moment, and he was very skilled.
The second is Xu Xiaojun, he is fully armed today, the two mechanical arms are there, he directly grabbed the parachute bag with the third hand behind his back, and fixed it firmly, without putting it on his body.
But the others are slow, after all, they are now swaying around in the plane, and they have no experience in wearing parachutes.
Seeing this, Wang Tao brought a parachute again and carried it on his back. Then he asked Jiang Shixue and the others to loosen their seat belts one after another.
Before they could loosen their seat belts, Wang Tao wrapped around them with iron tree vines and pulled them into his arms.
Wang Tao held Jiang Shixue in his left hand and Yang Changhong in his right hand, and used two iron tree vines to wrap Lightning and Nie Siyan respectively.
Once he was sure there was no problem, he immediately released his seat belt. Then it was thrown off the air in an instant and smashed into the windshield.
Before smashing into the windshield, Wang Tao activated the roots of the tree to cover his whole body, and then charged his right foot and kicked the glass hard.
Whoop -
The glass immediately shattered into a large hole.
Wang Tao, who was holding a few people, was sucked out in an instant, and He Jijun and Xu Xiaojun were also sucked out one after another.
Brush –
Wang Tao immediately opened the two parachutes, and then felt an upward force suddenly pull him, and the speed of his fall slowed down suddenly.
He observed that the two people he was holding in his hand were fine, and Lightning and Nie Siyan, who were entangled in the iron tree vines, were also safe. He Jijun and Xu Xiaojun also opened their parachutes one after another.
After making sure that a few people were okay, Wang Tao looked at the transport plane again, and saw that the transport plane overtook several people and quickly fell into a group of zombies.
A moment later.
Boom –
There was a loud bang, and a large amount of fire ignited at the place where the plane landed.
Witnessing the explosion of his plane, Wang Tao's eyes were full of distress.
A military transport plane that can still fly normally! This is still its first flight in Wang Tao's hands, and it is gone...... The loss that came out this time was big!
After some time, several people staggered and landed among a group of zombies not far from the explosion of the plane.
The zombies on the ground looked at the sky with their teeth and claws, Wang Tao immediately cut the umbrella rope, let go of a few people, and then faced these zombies is a few shock waves, and the surrounding area was emptied in an instant.
"Are you alright?"
Wang Tao shouted.
"It's fine!"
"I'm fine!"
"Wow!"
Everyone said there was no problem.
"What the hell, what the hell is going on!"
Wang Tao was a little uncomfortable.
He Jijun shook his head.
"I don't know, why don't we go find the black box?"
"Okay!"
Wang Tao and the others came to the place where the plane fell, which was already a sea of fire, and there were many zombie corpses around. Wang Tao rushed into the sea of fire, took some time, found the black box, and by the way, picked up a bunch of crystal nuclei.
Looking at the burning plane in the sea of fire, Wang Tao suddenly felt a little sad. This transport plane has always been tasked with airdropping and rescuing survivors. Even if it killed so many zombies before it died.
"Alas, it's good to go all the way......"
Wang Tao sighed and walked out of the sea of fire.
"I've got the stuff, let's go back to the base. We're still some distance from the base now, and we're trying to get to the ...... before it gets dark."
"Okay."
