NOVEL NEXT Chapter 122 Military Undercurrent
In the lab building of the School of Life Sciences on the campus of Yunnan University, the barrels of two heavy machine guns glowed red, and green smoke slowly rose.
Under the feet of the two soldiers, the ground was filled with yellow shells, which directly submerged their ankles.
In the small square outside the lab building, the bodies of various zombies piled up like a mountain.
Gong Zhan spent almost a whole day, together with two first-level warriors who had just awakened and piled up with crystal cores, and several speed-enhanced awakeners among the college student survivors.
All the zombies that could be attracted on the campus of Yunnan University were attracted.
Gao Yang and Tian Lei's two earth-type psychics surrounded the small square all the way to the opposite hillside, forming a large circle of high walls, directly covering all the nearly 20,000 zombies.
The two heavy machine guns kept firing, and the barrels turned red and were cooled down by the water-type psychic, and fired again.
This was repeated three times, and with the help of the rifles of the surrounding soldiers and some college students, it took nearly two hours to kill all the zombies in the wall.
Everyone collapsed on the ground due to exhaustion, and then several soldiers took other melee-type superpowers to collect crystal cores.
Despite this, everyone was still cautious. With such intensive attacks, some zombies must not be completely dead.
It was not until the sun set that all the zombie crystal cores were collected.
The smell of blood was spreading around with the breeze.
Twenty thousand zombies, a total of more than three thousand crystal cores of various types were collected.
Gong Zhan was not stingy, and directly gave thirty to each of the students and teachers present.
Even so, Gong Zhan still harvested more than two thousand crystal cores.
It can be said that it is the biggest harvest since the zombie outbreak.
Tian Lei and his group took the crystal cores and retreated directly. Director Hong and his four people wanted to entangle, but were directly rejected by Gong Zhan.
Seeing that Gong Zhan showed no mercy, Director Hong and his four companions could only leave with the crystal core.
Gong Zhan then quickly arranged for the soldiers to bring Gu Zemin out of the underground laboratory.
Four helicopters landed one after another on the cleared space in the small square, and the few remaining scientific research instruments were quickly moved into one of the helicopters.
Gu Zemin looked back at the laboratory building where he had lived for most of his life, sighed helplessly, and turned to board the plane.
Helicopters took off one by one and flew in a formation to the military shelter far outside the city.
A strong smell of blood filled the air, and gradually, mutant creatures appeared around.
There was even a group of mutant insects swarming in, and the entire small square opened a feast of mutant creatures.
As the night deepened, mutant creatures advanced from time to time throughout the small square.
Zombies also followed, and they would not eat the corpses of their own kind.
But those mutants were a delicacy in their eyes, and the battle between zombies and mutants began.
Time was too tight, and Gong Zhan had no time to arrange for people to burn the corpses, so he had to leave quickly.
I'm afraid Gong Zhan and his men didn't expect that the zombie corpses left in the square would lead to such a big battle.
Zombies and mutants with strong breath kept roaring in the pile of corpses and started fighting each other again.
…………
"Chief, last night's special energy burst, many soldiers awakened their abilities. The corresponding crystal cores have been distributed, and the soldiers have improved a lot."
"Our troops have been reorganized, and weapons and ammunition have been prepared. Can we launch a rescue operation?"
In the military district shelter, in the office of the old chief, a man in his forties with two three-stars on his shoulders was sitting on the sofa.
"Jianfeng, what do you think our chances of winning are?"
The old chief held a cigarette in his hand, pondered silently for a while, and looked at the soldier with sharp eyes.
"Commander, I don't know how much chance we have of winning, but as soldiers, we will go all out to ensure that we complete the mission!"
Ye Jianfeng stood up in a flash, put his feet together and saluted, resoundingly.
"Sit down, sit down, don't be so excited."
The old commander waved his hand, and Ye Jianfeng relaxed and sat down.
"Commander, there are more and more zombies of the first and even second levels now, and the effect of ordinary weapons on the second-level bronze armored zombies has been reduced a lot."
"If we don't act, I'm afraid that as time goes by, our hot weapons will gradually become ineffective. By then, the price we pay to rescue the people will be even more tragic."
Ye Jianfeng's tone was heavy and full of worry.
"I know it, but the more dangerous the time, the more people want to make trouble!"
The old commander sighed, and a hint of anger and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
"I understand, Chief, but you have to believe that our soldiers are the people's soldiers who can stand the test!"
"I have followed your instructions and spread the news that the troops are about to launch a rescue operation. The soldiers responded very positively."
"So, I think this is the general trend. Even if some people want to make trouble, they dare not go beyond this time!"
Ye Jianfeng said in a low voice. He knew the old chief's worries very well, but the arrow had to be shot. If some people really wanted to go against the general trend, he didn't mind personally removing this obstacle.
"Well, that's good."
"Jianfeng, Gong Zhan is already on his way back. When the time comes, you will cooperate with him. The rescue operation must be launched in two days at most!"
The old chief nodded, put out the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up and said in a serious voice.
"Yes! Chief, we will definitely live up to our mission!"
Ye Jianfeng stood up, performed a military salute, and replied solemnly.
"Go, there is news from the palace war, it seems that the harvest is not small, you lead a team of soldiers to respond to him!"
The old chief saluted back and said with deep meaning.
"Yes! I'll go right away."
Ye Jianfeng's eyes lit up, and then his face darkened. He understood instantly and turned around to leave neatly.
"Alas, at this time of national crisis, old comrade, why have you become like this?"
The old chief walked to the window, his eyes seemed to pass through the space, looking at a tall building in the distance, and let out a deep sigh.
Ye Jianfeng sat in a military vehicle with a calm expression. Three military vehicles led a platoon of soldiers and quickly rushed to the tarmac in the distance.
On the wide apron, four helicopters were landing slowly.
Seeing that there were not many soldiers on the tarmac, Ye Jianfeng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He opened the door and jumped out without waiting for the military vehicle to stop.
Not far away, Gong Zhan was carrying a large backpack and helping Gu Zemin get off the helicopter.
Ye Jianfeng quickly led the soldiers behind him to greet him.
"Jianfeng, this is Professor Gu Zemin Gu!"
"Professor Gu, this is the current commander of the garrison area of our military region, Colonel Ye Jianfeng."
Gong Zhan introduced both parties with a smile on his face.
The original commander of the security area had died in the zombie outbreak. Ye Jianfeng, who was originally just a deputy, was temporarily appointed as the commander.
"Professor Gu, welcome to your arrival. The leader has been ordering Gongzhan to send you safely to the military area as soon as possible. It's a pity that this kid just doesn't listen!"
Ye Jianfeng laughed and stepped forward to hold Gu Zemin's hands.
"This... I don't blame Gong Zhan. It's because I insisted on completing the research, which delayed a lot of time."
Seeing the implicated palace battle, Gu Zemin felt a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you arrive safely, if the old chief scolds you a few times, that's just concern!"
Gong Zhan waved his hands quickly, winked at Ye Jianfeng with a silly smile on his face.
How could Ye Jianfeng not know the situation? He was just trying to appease Gu Zemin.
"It's getting dark soon. It's not safe outside. Let's take Professor Gu to rest first!"
Ye Jianfeng glanced at the sky and immediately said seriously.
"Can you please let me see the chief first? I have something I need to tell the chief."
Gu Zemin hesitated for a moment, then said softly.
"This... the chief hasn't rested yet, I'll take you there."
Ye Jianfeng pondered for a moment, then called over the soldiers on the side and led Gu Zemin to the military vehicle.
"Jianfeng..."
Gong Zhan pulled Ye Jianfeng's arm and winked.
Ye Jianfeng understood and fell a few steps behind without leaving any trace.
General Gong Zhan patted his backpack, and Gao Yang and Gu Lie behind him also gave vague gestures.
"You three, come with me to find the chief."
Ye Jianfeng nodded, led Gong Zhan and the other three to the same car with Gu Zemin.
