Chapter 259 First Bombardment
After Zhou Yang arranged the basic furniture for Li Mei and the others and left the curtains, she left with Shen Zechuan and the others.
When they got back, Yu Jing and the others had just finished preparing dinner.
As soon as they saw Zhou Yang and the others return, they immediately got up and cooked a few more dishes.
At the dinner table, Zhou Yang and the others ate while telling everyone about the zombies gathering and heading south.
Chi Feng, who was enjoying his meal, was stunned upon hearing the news: "Huh? An army of zombies is coming?"
Zhou Yang nodded: "Yes, and it won't be long. We've estimated that they'll arrive in the next few days, or at the latest before the next extreme heat. Everyone should go to bed early after dinner today, and get up tomorrow morning to reinforce the doors and windows. It would be best to reinforce the walls as well, and weld steel plates onto them! Those of us living on higher floors are more vulnerable to attack."
After saying that, he looked specifically at Chi Feng and the others: "You guys are going to participate too!"
Chi Feng scratched his head. Although he really didn't want to work, he felt obligated to do so because they were eating his food, and besides, they lived even higher up. So he could only nod in agreement.
The rest of the Hidden Dragon Squad naturally had no objection to Zhou Yang's decision.
After dinner, everyone briefly agreed on the start time for work the next day and went home to sleep early.
Because the restrictions on Chai Jin had not yet been lifted, and fearing that he might sneak out in the middle of the night, Zhou Yang and Shen Zechuan detained him at Zhou Yang's house, packed him up and put him in the second bedroom, with Wandou guarding the door.
The next day, everyone woke up very early in the morning.
After finishing breakfast at Yu Jing's place, they immediately started working.
Everyone was busy, but the main work was focused on Yan Fei, while the others were mostly responsible for helping to move metal or doing odd jobs.
Fortunately, Zhou Yang had stockpiled various materials in his space, especially metals, so everyone didn't need to collect materials anymore. The reinforcement of the three floors was more than enough.
After a busy day, everyone finally completed the basic protective measures, and now their three-story building is practically an impregnable fortress.
The actions of the Hidden Dragon Squad were observed by many. Some thought they had too much resources to do, while others realized that something might be about to happen, so they came to ask for advice.
Zhou Yang and his group didn't hold back and directly informed the city that there might be a zombie attack soon.
Those who believed immediately went back and began making preparations in earnest, while those who didn't scoffed and mocked Zhou Yang and his group, saying they were exaggerating.
Zhou Yang and the others were too lazy to talk to these people anymore, since the base would issue a notice soon anyway.
Sure enough, that afternoon, the base issued a call for superhumans to build defensive fortifications on the app, and almost all the superhumans in the base were on the list of those to be recruited.
The Hidden Dragon Squad includes all those with superpowers.
Although the notice did not explicitly state the reason, the construction of such a large-scale defensive fortification still made most people feel a sense of crisis.
The next day, all the superhumans in the base answered the call and began working on the project in a flurry of activity.
In just a few days, the walls of the Baijishan base were raised to about 15 meters high and widened from more than 2 meters to about 5 meters. Even the underground depth was increased to the same depth as the underground shelter. An additional layer of metal was added from the inside out, making it a truly impregnable fortress.
In addition to the granaries and shelters, another layer of defense was added underground.
A dense metal mesh was erected above the entire base, allowing only sparrows from before the apocalypse to pass through.
As for the lightning and electric grid, it hasn't been arranged yet. We'll add it when the zombies actually arrive.
After finishing the defensive fortifications, the base declared martial law, and squads were not allowed to go too far from the base on missions.
Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei also rode the peas out several times, but not for missions, but to investigate the current progress of the zombie army.
This was a task assigned to them by Gu Tianqi, because their special abilities were the highest in the entire base, and Pea's speed was also the fastest.
Since airplanes can't fly now, this is the only way to conduct detection.
As expected, the two did not disappoint. On the third day, when they went out to explore, they saw the shadow of a zombie army on the border of Anhui Province.
Because there are no large bases in northern Anhui Province, the zombie army advanced as if it were empty, and continued to grow. Currently, the army already numbers over a million. If they were to collect zombies from the surrounding provinces, it would be a real headache.
Shen Zechuan looked at it for a while before putting down his binoculars: "The number is too large. We need to think of a way to reduce some of it. The best way is to send planes to bomb it first."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei frowned: "But the base is currently covered with metal mesh, so the fighter jets can't take off at all."
"Isn't that a limited way of thinking?" Shen Zechuan rolled his eyes at Yan Fei. "Why don't we have Yangyang take the plane out of the base first, and then have the pilot take off directly outside the base?"
Yan Fei thought it made sense, so he immediately made a satellite phone call to the base.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tianqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent someone to summon Zhou Yang and the two pilots.
Zhou Yang was lying at home, but when he heard that Gu Tianqi was looking for him, he quickly went over.
Upon hearing that he was to take two fighter jets out with the pilots to bomb zombies, he immediately became excited and nodded in agreement.
Wow, it's a fighter jet!
This is the first time in my two lifetimes that I've had to agree to such a request, especially for the latest model in the J-series!
Zhou Yang followed the two pilots to the location where the fighter jets were parked, which was on the second floor of an empty factory building.
Because the entire floor housed four of the latest models of the Annihilation series fighter jets.
Zhou Yang rubbed his fingers together, but still couldn't resist touching them.
That figure, those smooth lines, are just so beautiful!
The two pilots smiled knowingly at Zhou Yang's actions, neither stopping him nor urging him on. After all, what young man wouldn't want to touch the Annihilator?
Fortunately, Zhou Yang didn't linger for long. After he had his fill of touching the objects, he hurriedly caught up with the two pilots.
Anyway, he'll be flying in fighter jets soon, there will be plenty of opportunities, no need to rush.
However, after he personally smuggled the fighter jet out of the base, and both pilots got into their vehicles, and everything was ready for the order to take off, he realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something.
It turns out his only role was as a transport package for the plane; the bombing missions had absolutely nothing to do with him...
However, Zhou Yang was only disappointed for a short while, and he cheered up again as soon as the fighter jets left.
Forget it, bombing is too dangerous, and there are plenty of zombies in the air. It's safer for a weak ordinary person like him to stay in the base.
Moreover, if he actually goes out today, Shen Zechuan and the others will definitely hold a criticism meeting for him later.
