Chapter 421 Locking on the Zombie Nest
buzz~
A flight formation consisting of three Falcon 7 military reconnaissance drones, under the control of the drone crew, quickly left the creek area and flew northward where the city is located.
According to the report from Zhao Lei, captain of the Internal Security Detachment, the Internal Security Force encountered the suicide zombies in Guanshan District when they were evacuating the city.
Therefore, the key area for the drone formation's reconnaissance this time is mainly placed in Guanshan District, and the No. 01 Falcon 7 military reconnaissance drone will carry out the reconnaissance mission in this area!
The remaining Falcon 02 drones, numbered 03 and 7, were flying from south to north, carrying out intelligence reconnaissance missions throughout the city.
Gu Chengyuan is currently in the control room of the No. 01 Falcon 7 military unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, so the big screen at this time displays the real-time images transmitted back by the No. 01 UAV.
The Falcon 7 military reconnaissance drone has a middle fuselage that consists of the sensor compartment, equipment compartment and power compartment from front to back. A spherical optoelectronic sensor with integrated day/night optoelectronic reconnaissance, television camera and laser ranging functions is installed on the lower jaw of its nose.
Through this photoelectric sensor, one can see the situation on the ground almost clearly from an altitude of more than 5000 meters.
Gu Chengyuan sat in front of a separate video monitor, with the equally serious-looking staff officer Zhou Guihong standing next to him. Both of them were very interested in the current situation in the night market area.
Half a year after the end of the world, what is the current situation of the night market in the urban area?
The huge 01-meter-long fuselage of the No. 7 Falcon 10 military reconnaissance drone flew across the sky at a speed of 170km/h and flew straight towards Guanshan District.
The appearance of this strange flying object quickly attracted the attention of the mutant flying creatures active in the sky above the night market. Several mutant birds living in groups quickly flapped their wings and approached. Each mutant bird was very large, and its body size was the same as that of a vulture in the animal world!
This scene
This made the crew members and Gu Chengyuan in the No. 1 control room involuntarily nervous.
Mutated flying creatures are an inevitable existence for human aircraft, whether now or in the future!
Judging from the video footage, these should be some mutant sparrows. The maximum flying altitude of ordinary sparrows can reach 5500 meters, not to mention sparrows that have mutated to the size of vultures...
It is estimated that even if the Falcon 7 military reconnaissance drone reaches the maximum cruising altitude of 8000 meters, the opponent can easily keep up.
Fortunately, these mutant sparrows only flew for a while at a safe distance and then left on their own initiative. I don’t know whether they were curious or were confirming something.
Gu Chengyuan speculated that the other party should be evaluating the combat effectiveness of Falcon 7!
The fighting power of wild animals is usually judged by their size, so it is likely that the huge body of the Falcon 7 saved its life.
Mutated animals are not zombies, nor are they fools who only know how to eat. They still retain the instincts of wild animals:
When hunting, try to avoid getting injured as much as possible, because if a wild animal is injured in the wild, it is almost equivalent to death.
Perhaps it was because of this instinct that the mutant sparrows, after evaluation, believed that it would cost a great price to take down the big guy in front of them, so they chose to let it go.
This also made everyone in the No. 1 drone control room secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
The Falcon 7 is just a reconnaissance drone and does not have a weapons bay. If it is really targeted by these mutant sparrows, it would probably be difficult to even escape, let alone fight them.
However, not long after he relaxed, the drone company commander came to Gu Chengyuan from outside the control room with an embarrassed look on his face and reported in a low voice:
"Reporting to the commander, the No. 02 reconnaissance drone has lost contact over the Nanming District...Based on the jittery pitch angle of the last image transmitted back, the preliminary judgment is that it was grabbed by a large bird of prey from behind!"
...
Just when we said that the 01 reconnaissance drone escaped, we didn’t expect that the 02 reconnaissance drone would immediately bring bad news...
How much money would it cost to replace such a large Falcon 7 drone? It was destroyed in less than ten minutes? ? ?
Compared to the complex ground, the vast sky seems quite dangerous!
Based on the strength shown by the unidentified flying mutant beast that attacked the No. 02 Falcon 7 drone just now:
Its flying speed must be over 170km/h. Not to mention its size and strength, it can destroy a 10-meter-long military drone in one go. Its overall combat capability is absolutely terrifyingly strong.
Just thinking about this already gave Gu Chengyuan a headache...
No matter how strong the target is on the ground, it can be dealt with. At least it is within reach. But it is a bit difficult to deal with the target in the sky...
In such a vast sky, the other party's appearance or not has become random...
From now on, every time my aircraft is on a mission, I have to be on guard against a sudden attack from the other side. Who can stand this?
The key is that it cannot be prevented!
Once a reconnaissance drone is approached, it will become a target that cannot fight back...
How many drones do you have to fill this gap?
Are you really giving stress-relieving toys to flying mutants?
The appearance of the large flying mutant beast made Gu Chengyuan feel that he had thought things a little too simply before...
They thought that with a few military drones, they would be able to suppress intelligence and monitor the entire sphere of influence.
It now seems that the master of the sky, at least at this stage, is not human!
On the contrary, those birds that in the past relied on laws enacted by humans to barely survive are now singing like emancipated serfs!
Now they even dare to seize and mess with my military aircraft! !
...
"Where's Drone 03? Any footage of Drone 02 being attacked?"
Hearing this, the drone company commander lowered his head even lower.
"Reporting to the commander, UAV No. 03 separated from UAV No. 02 after leaving the creek area. Its reconnaissance area is the Baiyun area in the northeast."
"Drone 03 was not around when the incident happened, so it did not capture the footage of drone 02 being attacked..."
Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan had nothing to say. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame the unknown flying mutant beast, or blame the bad luck of the 02 crew...
"It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame us for not knowing enough about the sky and our weapons are not strong enough!"
"The 02 reconnaissance plane crashed, so it crashed, but we must learn from the experience. You can go down."
"Yes!"
After the drone company commander left the No. 02 control room, Gu Chengyuan put the crash of the 01 reconnaissance drone behind him and continued to watch the images transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone on the screen in front of him.
At this time, the 01 Falcon 7 reconnaissance drone had arrived over Guanshan District.
in the screen
The entire Guanshan District is still full of tall buildings like before the end of the world, with skyscrapers hundreds of meters high standing everywhere.
However, compared with the vibrant scene before the end of the world, the Guanshan District now seems to be covered with a thick layer of dust, and looks lifeless...
Through the zoom of the spherical photoelectric sensor camera, Gu Chengyuan can clearly see the zombies wandering in the streets and alleys of Guanshan District on the screen...
Dusty high-rise buildings, yellowed car wreckage, knocked-down bus stop signs, and yellow and black fallen leaves all rotted together with the blackened corpses...
The once vibrant Guanshan District has been turned into a pool of stinking mud...
Just through the screen, Gu Chengyuan could feel the oppressive silence...
It seems like the twilight of human civilization.
...
"Chief, we found it! We found something that looks like a photo of the Chongyi City zombie nest!"
The crew observer's excited voice rang out in the control room, and then the screen in front of Gu Chengyuan flashed, and the picture locked on a curved building!
By comparing with the electronic map, Gu Chengyuan quickly determined the identity of this building!
Guanshan District Maternal and Child Health Hospital!
