#645 - Chapter 645 War 1
The war had begun before many people could even react.
From the moment the Green Source Command decided to take action, a series of pre-prepared operations were set in motion, unnoticed by ordinary people.
The survivors in the punitive expedition's settlements turning into zombies was just an appetizer.
More disasters were approaching them.
In the high sky, unnoticed by them.
Two airships, one large and one small, were hovering high above their heads!
Qin Jin and his team didn't deploy noisy aerial vehicles like helicopters. Instead, they waited until nightfall to move the almost silent airships over the enemy!
Based on the informants planted within the expedition team, the two airships quickly located the marked points on the ground!
These were strong light emitters producing special glows!
The Green Source informants, who had infiltrated the punitive force, carried these pre-prepared items and, after internal personnel began to mutate, decisively activated the devices to emit strong light!
After completing their mission, they would find their own way to leave the station.
The rest was naturally left to the airships high above.
"Drop the bombs!!"
Inside the airship.
Liu Wenhao gave the order with an icy voice.
The airship's belly opened, and high-explosive bombs, with their safety mechanisms already disengaged, began to fall freely, plummeting straight towards the brightly lit settlements!
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
A series of violent explosions erupted, throwing the survivors who had joined the punitive expedition for benefits into chaos!
Screams, curses, cries, and the most intense explosions wove together into a beautiful symphony.
The Green Source members in the air showed no mercy.
To these enemies who participated in attacking them, they only responded with the most violent fists to show their respect!
Since they decided to join New Hope's punitive expedition, they had to be prepared to die here!
Qin Jin scheduled the battle at night, partly because New Hope itself launched at this time, and also with the intention of completely destroying these fence-sitters!
On such a night, even if they could survive the bombing for a while, they would later face countless zombie attacks drawn by the scent of blood!
"Ahhh!!!"
Screams continued to erupt from these settlements. Many of the more quick-witted survivors who ran out of the settlements in advance soon encountered hordes of zombies that came out to hunt after nightfall.
Usually, no one dared to rush out so easily at night, because the zombies' strength increased greatly at night, coupled with their terrifying numbers, it was simply an act of suicide.
For a time.
Those survivors who joined the punitive team and were marked by the strong light suffered heavy casualties.
"What's going on!? Why are there such intense explosions over there!? Is Green Source attacking!??"
On the side of New Hope's main force.
People began to panic as they heard the explosions nearby and became anxious.
Just now, personnel in the settlement mutated into zombies, and after finally putting them down, how could a new crisis arise??
Didn't they come here to attack Green Source this time??
"Don't panic!! The higher-ups said that only some affiliated forces nearby have suffered a marked attack from Green Source! We won't be bombed here because there are no enemy agents mixed in! And we've already sent helicopters to take off!"
"We'll immediately find their aerial forces and eliminate them, then we'll attack Green Source!"
Some managers ran out to appease the panicked crowd.
At the same time, as many as three helicopters rose into the air from within New Hope's settlement, seemingly to search for the enemies nearby!
The crowd calmed down slightly.
Their own forces were still very strong. This expedition brought a full eight helicopters of various types from the base!
There shouldn't be a problem with this place being bombed.
In the command headquarters of New Hope's headquarters.
A group of men listened to the various battle reports coming from outside with serious expressions. Their faces grew increasingly grim.
"Has there been any news from Green Source Zone and Green Source Headquarters??"
"None of our hidden agents planted there have been effective!? Useless!!!"
"Immediately contact the other personnel around Green Source Zone! Have them locate and send the coordinates! Our heavy artillery will begin attacking!"
The commander roared and continued to make deployments.
Although the current situation was somewhat different from what they had initially expected, it seemed that Green Source had already noticed something and cut off the tentacles they had extended in the past.
It didn't matter.
New Hope's preparations were naturally not limited to these.
This expedition brought many long-range heavy weapons. When arranging the Green Source Zone virus capsule operation, the team members carrying these weapons had already driven to the vicinity of Green Source Zone in advance.
Only at this time, before nightfall, did they dare to approach Green Source Zone so closely.
Otherwise, in broad daylight, they would definitely be discovered and blocked by Green Source's helicopters or ground forces.
What the New Hope commander planned to fight was a dark information war!
In the pitch-black environment at night, you can't hit the enemy by just randomly firing cannons, guns, or dropping bombs.
This requires a lot of information support.
Just like Green Source bombing those survivors who joined the punitive team for profit, it was also because someone had lit up the ground marker points for them in advance, so that their companions in the high sky could have a target to bomb.
Otherwise, how could they hit the ground settlement with almost no light at an altitude of thousands of meters?
Everything has prerequisites.
Including the heavy weapon attack that New Hope was preparing to launch at this time.
They had arranged many spies outside Green Source Zone in the past, and now was the time for them to play their role!
Mortars only have a range of about 3 kilometers, so they naturally cannot meet the requirements of the attack. Only heavy howitzers can possibly hit Green Source from more than 20 kilometers away!
The maximum range of ordinary heavy howitzers is about 20 kilometers.
Only some specially modified and rocket-boosted heavy artillery can possibly hit more than 40 kilometers!
At this distance, as long as you have the specific coordinates of Green Source Headquarters, it is possible to hit!
The question is.
Knowing that New Hope's firepower is not weak and that they have this kind of heavy weapon, would Green Source not guard against them?
Naturally not.
While the commander arranged for spies outside Green Source Zone to carry out coordinate positioning and notification, Qin Jin's earlier arrangement, before deciding to dig out those chess pieces in Green Source Zone, was already in progress!
In Fenghe County.
On the rooftops of many seemingly peaceful buildings, there were many Green Source combat troops lurking at some unknown time!
Dozens of kilometers away from the base, this was the most likely place to intercept the approaching enemy!
An unknown number of drones had already taken off and were constantly monitoring the outskirts of Fenghe County.
Especially those main roads and secondary roads, which were almost covered with Green Source's eyes!
There was no way Qin Jin would allow the enemy to advance the battle line to Mentang Town!
They must be resolved before the enemy gets close!
"Target appeared!! Target appeared!"
"Begin the destruction!!"
On one of the buildings, Liu Qing, a core member who had been keen on playing with drones since the early days of the apocalypse, manipulated a drone and reported after seeing the convoy appearing in the picture.
Immediately, he controlled the drone to pounce on the appearing convoy!
Destroy them!!
