Chapter 260 Zombies Are Coming Soon
The two fighter jets took off quickly, running at full speed, and arrived near the airspace of Yan Fei's reported location in just a few minutes.
From high above, the ground was a dark mass of zombies, with writhing dark brown swarms of zombie rats that, upon closer inspection, turned out to be countless zombie rats.
A large flock of zombie birds, whose species were indistinguishable, hovered overhead. Among them were many humanoid zombies flying crookedly. These were probably zombies with wind-based abilities, who had been inspired by the birds and had learned to fly.
The two pilots were dumbfounded by the sight and couldn't help but exchange a glance in their respective cockpits.
Judging from this situation, flying over directly to bomb them is definitely not an option.
However, both pilots were experienced veterans. After communicating with each other on the radio, they decided to climb to a higher altitude and carry out the first round of bombing from high altitude.
The two pilots exchanged another glance, then simultaneously pulled up the climb stick, and the two fighter jets rose vertically, reaching a height of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye, before flying at supersonic speeds towards the zombie horde.
As the fighter jets flew over the zombies, the zombies below heard the sound of the two jets and immediately began to howl in place.
The zombie birds then pounced directly on the two fighter jets.
However, the two fighter jets reacted faster, dropping two bombs each before flying away separately.
The four missiles landed in four different areas of the zombie horde and exploded instantly, creating four large craters in the ground.
Because the millions of zombies were so densely packed, the missile's explosive effect was maximized, instantly eliminating nearly half of the zombies. Even those that didn't die were blown apart, losing limbs and being trapped in the crater, unable to get out.
A tremendous explosion filled everyone's ears.
The two pilots in the fighter jet were flying high in the sky, focused solely on shaking off the swarm of zombie birds. In addition, the fighter jet's protective shield itself was soundproof, so it didn't have much of an impact.
But Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei, who were on the ground, were in a bad mood.
Because of their enhanced abilities, their five senses have become much stronger, making the sound of the explosion extremely unpleasant to hear.
As a mutated animal, the pea was more sensitive to sound, and immediately took a few steps back in discomfort, scratching its ears several times with its paws.
Seeing that Pea was uncomfortable, Shen Zechuan simply had Pea retreat several hundred meters before continuing to use his binoculars to observe the movements of the zombie horde.
Because of the missiles, the zombies went berserk, roaring furiously as they tried to chase after the fighter jets in the sky. However, because of the zombie king hidden inside, they could only remain where they were, while zombies from afar continued to gather in droves.
In the sky, after flying a large circle and finally shaking off the zombie bird flock, the two fighter jets flew back and, as they passed the zombie horde, dropped the remaining two missiles from under their wings.
Four more bombs were dropped, instantly creating four more large craters filled with the remains of zombies.
With their magazines emptied and both fighter jets having completed their mission, they immediately flew back.
However, in order not to attract the zombie bird flock to the base, they flew the fighter jet around several times until they had completely shaken off the zombie bird flock before returning to the Baijishan base.
Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei glanced through their binoculars and saw that at least a third of the zombies had been dealt with. Since the two fighter jets no longer needed their cover during the retreat, they followed suit and withdrew.
When the two returned to the base in the Pea, Zhou Yang was still outside the base. He had just put the fighter jet into his spatial storage and was about to go in when he saw the Pea running back at full speed.
After the two of them got off the pea, Zhou Yang asked anxiously, "Did things go smoothly for you two?"
Shen Zechuan approached and nodded, saying, "It went quite smoothly. The zombies have just entered Anhui Province and there are already several million of them. Today's bombing was quite effective, eliminating about a third of them. We'll launch another major bombing when they get closer to the base, which will make defending the city much easier."
Although Yan Fei didn't say anything, he nodded in agreement.
The three of them walked into the base while talking.
However, Zhou Yang's space still contained the base's two fighter jets, so the three of them went to the military headquarters first to return the planes before returning home.
In the following days, Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei would still take Wandou out of the base to investigate the progress of the zombie outbreak.
Three days later, the zombie army finally crossed the central region of Anhui Province and was less than 300 kilometers away from the Baijishan base.
Gu Tianqi immediately ordered the second round of bombing missions to begin.
Because the zombie army was constantly replenishing itself along the way, the force had expanded to several million, even more than before. So this time, three fighter jets were dispatched, and more than a dozen missiles were dropped.
With such a large-scale bombardment, the results were gratifying.
At least half of the zombies on the ground have been eliminated this time.
The bad news is that, due to the close proximity this time, the zombie bird flock was not successfully shaken off, and many of them followed them to the base.
Fortunately, the base had made preparations for defense in advance. As soon as the zombie birds got close, they were stopped by a group of superhumans led by Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei who were waiting on the base's city walls.
However, there were simply too many zombie birds, and quite a few managed to escape back.
After the crisis of the zombie bird flock passed, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan exchanged a glance, went down from the city wall, and then accompanied Zhou Yang and the others to pick up the three pilots who were trapped on the fighter jets and had not yet disembarked, as well as the three fighter jets.
After returning the fighter jet to the military headquarters, Zhou Yang and the others went to Gu Tianqi's office together.
Upon entering and seeing Gu Tianqi, Yan Fei immediately said, "Uncle, the location of our base has definitely been exposed. Next, the zombie army will probably head straight for us. It's not far, only 200 kilometers. The zombies don't need to rest, and if they travel day and night, they should arrive by tomorrow morning if things go smoothly."
Gu Tianqi paused for a moment, nodded, then summoned a guard and issued a new order:
"From now on, the entire base is on Level 1 alert. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Oh, and issue another announcement that a million zombies are about to attack the city. Everyone better be on their guard!"
"Yes, sir!" The guard acknowledged the order and jogged out.
Before long, everyone in the base received the notification highlighted in red on their communicators.
This immediately terrified many people, especially ordinary people.
That's a million-strong zombie army!
The entire Baijishan base only has tens of thousands of people. How could they possibly win?
For a time, panic gripped the base, with everyone fearing it would be breached.
But then, seeing the troops continuing to patrol the base in an orderly manner, and apart from the more serious and tense atmosphere, they didn't seem too panicked or uncertain, which finally calmed everyone's anxious hearts.
