Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 760: Chapter 300 Rainbow After Rain_2

“Hold on, let me show you something.”

A picture appeared on the surveillance room’s screen, showing a dense mass of zombies!

“A horde…”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, but not completely so.

The route the snowplow train traveled was very remote, far from any cities. Aside from encountering a large horde in Zijing City at the beginning, there hadn’t been much in the way of hordes after leaving Zijing City.

Seeing so many zombies now, everyone instinctively tensed up.

Duan Xuchang explained:

“This horde is right on our inevitable path, we had passed through here on our way here. Naturally, we’ll have to go through it on our way back as well. Taking a detour would be too far, plus there are many uncertainties. So the road ahead might be somewhat bumpy. But don’t worry, do your best to calm the other survivors… If all goes well, this should be our last trouble before we reach Changhe Base smoothly!”

“Alright!”

Wang Tao nodded. Lan Yulian and a few others were still with the other survivors and hadn’t returned to his car, so Wang Tao contacted her to explain the situation.

“Don’t worry, Wang Tao, I’ll calm them down!”

Whirr…@@novelbin@@

Soon, the sound of helicopter rotors beating the air reached Wang Tao and the others, and then they saw two helicopters laden with weapons fly out.

There were a total of four armed helicopters on the snowplow train – usually, two helicopters would scout and clear the way while the other two rested, rotating in shifts.

Now that the other two resting Wu Zhi helicopters were also flying out, it meant that they were truly on the last leg of their journey. Even in hunting a rabbit, a lion uses all its strength. At this point, Duan Xuchang would allow no mistakes.

The helicopters were naturally much faster than the train; while the people on the train had yet to see the zombies, the helicopters were already exchanging fire with them. Wang Tao could faintly hear some explosions.

A moment later, Duan Xuchang appeared with several soldiers, having been in the lead car all this time.

Wang Tao noticed Duan Xuchang’s expression was very serious… The situation seemed somewhat tricky. He immediately asked:

“What’s the status?”

“These zombies are much stronger than when we came… which means they might have already completed their evolution! The firepower from the Wu Zhi helicopters alone is not enough… We have to take action ourselves!”

“…”

Completed their evolution?

Everyone’s faces didn’t look good.

So they really couldn’t reach their destination smoothly after all…

“What exactly do you mean? Do you need our help?”

Wang Tao asked again.

For this operation, Duan Xuchang was the overall commander. Wang Tao would naturally respect his ideas. If they were needed, then Wang Tao would lead his people into action. If not, then Wang Tao wouldn’t add to the chaos.

“We don’t need—wait, I need to borrow your transport helicopter!”

Duan Xuchang was about to say they didn’t need help, thinking that they could resolve the issue through heavy firepower. But then he thought of Wang Tao’s transport helicopter; if they used the helicopter to airlift their powered armors into the midst of the zombie horde, it would save a lot of time and result in a significant impact!

“The helicopter? No problem!”

Wang Tao immediately agreed, then turned to his people to instruct:

“Old He, you’ll fly the plane, Little Xue will come with me, and I’ll call Jade Lotus in a moment…”

As the main force of this attack was still Duan Xuchang and his men, Wang Tao didn’t need to bring too many people, just two pilots, one bodyguard, and one medic would suffice.

“Yes!”

Everyone responded.

The military transport helicopter was parked in a carriage in the middle of the train, and Wang Tao and his group quickly made their way there.

Meanwhile, Duan Xuchang gathered his men to begin suiting up in powered armor.

Once He Jijun had everything ready for the helicopter to take off at any time, Duan Xuchang arrived with five additional powered armors.

One after another, the six powered armors boarded the aircraft, and He Jijun pulled on the control stick.

Whirr…

The helicopter left the train and sped towards the front.

It didn’t take long for Wang Tao to see the horde.

Boom, boom, boom…

Pop, pop, pop…

All four Wu Zhi helicopters were attacking the zombies on the ground, with many zombies riddled with holes, but there were too many zombies, and the helicopters could only kill, not stop them.

The size of this horde was actually not large, not comparable to the size of hordes seen in Wuyang City or Zijing City. However, these zombies were much stronger than those in the previous hordes!

Wang Tao could clearly see that the dark mass of zombies below was mostly made up of Level 3 and even Level 4 zombies!

“Indeed, they have evolved! Fourth-order Elite Zombies have appeared!”

Wang Tao muttered to himself.

This matched his previous conjecture; after the evolution of the zombies, both Fourth Order Ordinary and Fourth Order Elite Zombies had indeed appeared!

Whirr…

After confirming there were no excessively large or ranged attack zombies among them, the helicopter started to slowly descend.

A few meters from the ground, the doors opened.

Thud, thud, thud…

The six powered armors landed one after another.

Although the height wasn’t great, the powered armors were heavy and immediately crushed many zombies beneath them.

Rat-a-tat-tat…

Armed with Gatling guns, the powered armors opened fire on the zombies, quickly clearing the nearby area.

Then, they drew out electrically charged broadswords and charged into the densest part of the horde.

“Old He, fly a bit higher and watch your altitude! Little Xue, stand by on the plane! Jade Lotus, come down with me!”

Wang Tao addressed the people inside the helicopter.
