#1821 - The indestructible zombies in the zombie ocean can withstand bullets!
The next morning.
Outside the Big Mac, the ground was littered with corpses of sea beast zombies, which were extremely eye-catching on the white snow.
Crunch!
Several people walked out from the bottom of the Behemoth. The Judge brought several combatants and pulled a sled down, followed by Zhao Ke and Bai Yin, two zombie research experts.
They selected a relatively well-preserved sea beast zombie corpse, lifted it onto the sled, and pulled the sled to the bottom of the vehicle.
The judge looked at Zhao Ke who was still studying the corpse on the ground and said:
"Let's leave this place as soon as possible. There are many corpses here and the smell of blood is strong. It may attract zombies later."
Zhao Ke stood up and nodded, "I'm here."
Back in the behemoth truck, they wrapped the corpse of the sea monster zombie in plastic film and placed it in the utility room on the first floor.
Afterwards, the judge led the convoy back five kilometers in the direction it came from.
It is about 120 kilometers away from Palau.
After retreating here, they began to move ammunition and supplies, and also made personnel adjustments.
Due to the temperature, ice thickness and other reasons, the Behemoth could not move forward, so it left the Jackal here to guard and wait.
The judge left him three combat personnel, two maintenance personnel, and an electrical expert.
Just when they were heading to the sea area where the meteorite fell, these maintenance personnel were able to inspect the Behemoth. It had been driving for more than 2,000 kilometers continuously. Although there had been no malfunctions, it did not mean that the Behemoth had no hidden dangers.
The other 29 people all got on the screw-propelled vehicle and the tracked armored RV respectively.
On average, there are about 7 people in a car. The space in the car is not small, so it can accommodate so many people.
Snap!
Two spiral-propelled vehicles and a tracked RV had their roof steel plates opened. Ant, Nut, and Judge each placed a drone on the roof.
Woo woo woo——
Three drones took off and flew to a height of over 100 meters.
The daytime temperature where they are now can reach around minus thirty-three degrees Celsius, and drones can fly in such temperatures.
After the drone was released, two screw-propelled vehicles were in front, followed by the two tracked armored RVs.
Walk side by side in pairs.
Not to mention the behemoths, the maximum speed of a tracked RV can reach 50 kilometers per hour, and the speed of a screw-propelled vehicle is even faster.
This was the sixth day since they set out.
It was still 100 kilometers away from the Palau waters and the outdoor temperature was minus 28 degrees Celsius.
The number of zombies encountered in this half hour was more than all the zombies encountered in the previous few days combined.
At 8:30 in the morning, 75 kilometers away from the Palau waters, the outdoor temperature had risen to minus ten degrees Celsius.
The thickness of the ice layer is only one and a half meters, and the thickness of the snow is less than eight meters.
The ice field is vast, and the earth is covered with white snow. In the silence, only the howling cold wind can be heard.
In the snow, countless zombies dragged their heavy steps towards the sea where the meteorite fell. Their faces were eroded by ice and snow, and the exposed bones and rotten flesh looked particularly miserable.
There was no light of life in their eyes, only desire and hunger for living people.
When the convoy passed by them, the zombies were immediately scattered and the nearby zombies rushed towards their vehicles frantically.
Boom boom boom!
Several agile zombies climbed onto the roof on both sides of the car and beat the armor plates outside the car body.
Behind them, there were dozens of human zombies and hundreds of animal zombies chasing them.
But after all, they were driving an armored RV, and their speed was faster than those of the zombies. For the time being, the zombies were unable to force them to leave.
"Damn it, we haven't even arrived yet, why are there so many zombies!" Zheng Shiwu couldn't help cursing as he drove the car and saw another agile zombie climbing onto the hood of the car.
He turned a corner and threw the agile zombie outside the windshield off.
Woo woo woo——
The drone flew five kilometers ahead of the convoy.
Feng Xiao controlled the drone and looked down at the ground in the distance.
The ground was full of zombies, walking aimlessly on the ice field.
"Can we fly higher?" the judge asked, staring at the drone screen.
Feng Xiao hesitated and said, "Okay, then fly to 1,000 meters?"
"What is the maximum flight distance?"
"The maximum distance is about 25 kilometers. If it is farther, we will lose contact."
"Okay, let's fly at an altitude of 1,000 meters and forward about 20 kilometers."
"good."
As the drone flies higher and farther, the field of view on the drone screen can also be extended further.
When the drone flew to a location only about 50 kilometers away from Palau, the judge and his colleagues saw an astonishing scene.
I saw a dark cloud forming in the distant sky, which covered a very wide area. In the sea area under the cloud, there was no snow and it was filled with fog, like a fairyland.
Going closer, you can see the sea water, and there is no snow or ice at all. It is conceivable that the temperature ahead is definitely above zero degrees.
"It seems to be raining over there." Feng Xiao zoomed in on the drone image. The image was a little blurry, but it did look like it was raining.
Clack, clack!
The tracked armored vehicle ran over two zombies, causing the vehicle's body to shake.
Sizzle, sizzle—
The voice of the ant came from the intercom:
"Judge, we are only 65 kilometers away from Palau. The outdoor temperature has risen to minus ten degrees Celsius, and the thickness of the ice is less than one meter. If we go any further, I am worried that your tracked armored vehicles will not be able to withstand it."
The Judge also wanted to move forward, but he knew that this was the limit of the tracked armored vehicle.
Unlike spiral-propelled vehicles, the hollow spiral steel tube has buoyancy and can travel even in seawater, making it an amphibious vehicle.
Simply put, the harsher the geographical environment, the easier it is for the spiral-propelled vehicle to navigate.
It can even travel in places like swamps and deserts.
"Then we won't go any further. You guys continue forward and try to collect as much data as possible. Also, see if you can find any meteorite fragments from outer space."
"OK."
After receiving the judge's message, the ant said to Sun Erzhang who was driving the car:
“Full speed ahead!”
Whoosh~
The already fast spiral propulsion vehicle suddenly accelerated, reaching a speed of 75 kilometers per hour.
As we get closer to the sea where the meteorite fell, more and more zombies appear around.
These zombies attacked the spiral propeller vehicle, and the continuous collisions caused the vehicle body to shake violently.
We have to go further. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so we must see with our own eyes the place where the meteorite fell.
What you see from a drone is definitely different from what you see with your own eyes.
Moreover, it was filled with rain and fog, and the images from the drone were not very clear.
As the vehicle was shaking, researchers including Zhao Ke, Liao Fan, and Wu Nianchuan ran to the front of the vehicle or stared at the images from the drone.
"Can the drone footage be preserved?" Wu Nianchuan asked excitedly while looking at the screen.
"Of course." Feng Xiao nodded.
The picture showed that the sea water in front was steaming with mist, and it was obvious that the temperature was above zero degrees.
A gust of wind blew away the clouds above the sea, revealing the sea surface.
There are countless zombies floating on the sea, including various marine zombie animals.
These zombies are like water hyacinths growing in a pond, covering the entire sea surface.
They even saw several giant sea beast zombies.
"What is that?" Feng Xiao looked at the sea beast that was as big as a small mountain in the sea ahead and gasped in shock.
Zhao Ke stared at the screen intently and exclaimed:
"It should be a zombie whale. Whales are also mammals and can be infected with the zombie virus."
Ten minutes later.
They were only 50 kilometers away from Palau.
From the car, you can see not far ahead, a few kilometers away is where the frozen layer meets the sea water.
Just at this moment.
Beep, beep.
An alarm sounded on the propeller vehicle and the vehicle body shook suddenly.
Gao Le, who had been monitoring the outdoor temperature and ice thickness, shouted:
"We can't go any further. The temperature outside has reached minus three degrees Celsius, and the ice is only 20 centimeters thick. We could collapse into the sea at any time."
After hearing Gao Le's reminder, the ant waved his fist in annoyance, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"Go north and don't go to the sea where the meteorite fell. Go around and see how large the impact range is after the meteorite falls."
"Yes." Sun Erzhang suddenly changed direction and headed north.
Another screw-propelled vehicle next to it followed suit.
Oceanographer Wu Nianchuan stared at the image from the drone, squinting his eyes and said:
"We can confirm that a huge meteorite has indeed fallen into the sea near Palau. We are now 50 kilometers east of the Palau sea."
"It's a pity that the drone can only fly 20 kilometers, otherwise we can cross the sea to measure the area of seawater melted by the meteorite."
Ant came over and said anxiously, "We are going to take a detour now to see if we can get around this sea area and reach the Palau Islands. But if the Palau Islands are also within the sea water, then we won't be able to get to the island."
"Isn't this an amphibious vehicle?" asked Zhao Ke.
"We can't go into the water! Look at the pictures from the drone, we will die if we go into the water! This zombie whale can kill us with just one flick of its tail!" said the ant helplessly.
"All right."
"Whatever tests and observations you need to do, please do them quickly. We can't stay here too long. There are too many zombies." Ant said anxiously.
Outside the car, there were already densely packed zombies. The spiral propeller squeezed these zombie animals away, and they were like driving in a pile of cockroaches.
Once a vehicle breaks down and stops, they will stay here forever.
The car body was shaking more and more violently, and Sun Erzhang had difficulty controlling the steering wheel to prevent it from deviating.
"Captain, there are too many zombies ahead. If we continue like this, the car will overturn!"
Upon hearing this, the ant immediately shouted to the people behind him:
"All combatants, take your positions and prepare to launch defensive bombing!"
After saying this, he climbed up into the enclosed shooting cabin on the roof of the car.
Controlling the heavy machine gun on the roof of the car, he fired at the group of zombies in front.
Da da da da da!
Dense bullets poured down on the zombie group in front like raindrops.
Click, click, click!
All the firing ports in the cabin were opened.
The black muzzle of the gun extended from the shooting port, da da da da!
There was a chorus of gunfire.
At this moment, bullets burst out from the firing ports in four directions of the spiral propulsion vehicle.
Li Leqi came to the turret in the middle of the car, aimed at the zombies in front, and shouted to the commandos next to him: "Reload!"
"Calibration completed!"
"bombing!"
whoosh!
A shell shot out from the gun hole on the roof of the car, exploding into a small mushroom ball two kilometers ahead.
This is the most powerful weapon on their vehicle, the howitzer.
In this frozen world, they dare not use this weapon easily. Once the ice is blown up, the vehicle will be stuck in the sea.
When Sun Erzhang saw the artillery shells being fired, he immediately turned the car around and headed west.
As expected.
Because of the firing of this shell, the ice layer, which was already thin, was shattered by the shell. The shattered ice layer spread out, and the zombies on it fell into the sea.
Ant looked at the group of zombies rushing towards him from the east and felt that he would be doomed if he continued to persist.
So someone else went up, and he hurried down and said to Sun Erzhang:
"Retreat to the west! Stay away from the sea where the meteorite fell!"
"good."
Sun Erzhang turned the car around and fled in a hurry.
They haven't even reached the outskirts of the sea where the meteorite fell, and they don't know how large the area of the sea is affected by the meteorite.
The drone went twenty kilometers deeper than them, but even so it could not reach the center of the sea. There was no end in sight in the vast sea.
After speeding westward, the pressure from the zombie hordes they encountered suddenly decreased.
But what horrified them was that there were thousands of zombies running at an extremely fast speed following closely behind their car.
You know, the speed of their screw-propelled vehicles can reach 70 kilometers per hour!
Oh shit!
The ant cursed inwardly and immediately contacted the judge.
“Judge, you guys retreat quickly. We couldn’t get close to the meteorite, but the zombies here are too abnormal and run very fast. You guys hurry back to the Big Mac.
If you are found by these fast-running zombies, you will be in big trouble!"
"Grass!"
"Okay!" The Judge ordered the driver to retreat without hesitation and retreat to the location of the Behemoth shown on the electronic beacon.
Although I didn't see the situation on Ant's side, just listening to what Ant described made me feel scared.
One zombie can't knock down an armored RV, but what if there are a thousand?
These zombies are even more terrifying than the zombies in the rainstorm, and their eyes are all glowing red.
And this is only around the sea where the meteorite fell.
Just now, they saw a wave crest several tens of meters high in the drone, with zombies floating on the crest. They couldn't see clearly what was below because it was obscured by rain and fog.
A zombie jumped into the air, nearly four or five meters high, and landed on the armored vehicle where the ant was.
Ding ding!
The zombie kept hitting the armor plate with his fists, making a sound of metal and stone.
Sun Erzhang shook left and right, trying to shake the zombie down.
But this zombie held on very tightly. All the other zombies in the car were shaken off, but this zombie remained motionless.
"Oh shit!"
After Ant saw the zombie through the camera, he picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Nut.
"Nut, help us kill the zombie at the right rear! The silver zombie!"
"OK."
Nut asked the driver to drive the car side by side with Ant and his team's car, and quickly lock onto the position of the zombie through the shooting port on the left.
The armor plates on their cars can resist bullets, so even if bullets hit Ant's car, it's fine.
Bang!
A bullet hit the zombie's head, but!
The bullet was only embedded one centimeter into the zombie's head, and one could even see the bullet stuck in the zombie's head.
"Fuck! It's so hard!" When Nut saw this scene, he was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
Even bullets can't penetrate it!
"What kind of zombie is this!???"
(asking for monthly ticket)
