Chapter 724: Zombified Cockroach ( 6 )
Jin Xuyan circled an area on the map and said, "They are currently surrounded by zombie cockroaches."
"The number is unknown, but more than sixty percent of the city has been occupied. Lunar City’s remaining population is around five thousand people, and the number of ability-users is unknown."
"Their supplies can only last for three days at most. Judging from their situation, they may be wiped out before their supplies run out. I have accepted the mission issued by Lin’an City Base, and we will depart in half an hour."
He looked at the members and added solemnly, "This is an S-rank mission. Write your wills. I will hand them to Xie Zhou."
The moment the members heard this, they understood that the chance of dying during this mission was extremely high. That was why the Captain told them to write their wills.
Everyone’s expression turned solemn as they replied in unison, "Understood."
After the brief meeting, the members changed from their casual clothes into military uniforms. These uniforms were provided by Du Beiye and made from the same materials as her combat suit.
However, because they lacked system chips, their special functions could not be used. Even so, the uniforms could still automatically activate their defensive function when the wearer was in danger.
To avoid standing out too much, Du Beiye modified the design of the combat suits so that they looked like ordinary special forces uniforms.
After changing, the members checked their weapons before writing their wills. Twenty minutes later, they handed the letters to Jin Xuyan.
Before leaving the base, Jin Xuyan asked a guard to deliver the wills to Xie Zhou. In the event that they perished during the mission, the letters were to be sent to the recipients.
Ten minutes later, a military helicopter lifted off from the Green Lake Base and headed toward the Tsardom Empire.
At the same time, in the Lin’an City Base, Fu Shenghan was informing Lustin Volkov about the Commander’s order.
"Vice Mayor, the Commander has issued an order, and the best team from the Lin’an City Base is already on their way. If nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive at Lunar City in 2 to 3 days."
At Lunar City, Lustin Volkov knew that it was impossible for them to arrive in less than 1 day. They need to refuel, and the team needs to rest.
Not to mention, there were a lot of mutant and zombie birds hovering in the sky. Even if they were lucky and managed to avoid the birds, it still took 2 days at the fastest.
Reaching this conclusion, he said, "Thank you. After this ordeal, I will visit Commander Xun Che to express my gratitude personally."
"As humanity faces the apocalypse, we should unite and help each other. Vice Mayor, we wish you good luck," Fu Shenghan said before he stopped the communication.
Since they were able to contact someone within a radius of more than 3,500 kilometers, they might be able to increase the distance of their communication range and contact those in other countries.
If they are able to invent this communication device, they would be able to learn the situation in other places, allowing them to make better preparations. After all, exchanging information was crucial for development in various aspects of life.
With this goal, Fu Shenghan and his team spent most of their time in their office and laboratory. Even their meals were delivered by the cafeteria under Wen Hanli’s order.
Meanwhile, the news about Lunar City being besieged by the zombie cockroach finally reached the Tsardom Empire’s Capital Base.
At this moment, a large group of people gathered in the parliament meeting hall.
After the apocalypse, they had centralized the government, and all of the high-ranking officials were now staying in this base. As for other cities, the central government only sends a group of military officers and several civil officials as a delegation to those bases.
They only acted as the overseers and only intervened when the base was facing a dangerous situation. Most of the time, they let the local government handle the base’s daily matters.
While it seemed that they were thinking about the people, it was only on the surface.
The people they sent over actually went there to restrict the local government and keep it under control. Every month, they had to send supplies to the capital as taxes. If they didn’t pay their tax using supplies, they had to send over people as workers.
They thought that everything was under their control until they received the news about Lunar City at dawn.
Although Lunar City was a small city, it was located at a strategic location. They not only advanced in tourism, but also have a vast fertile land, making them one of the biggest grain producers in the entire Kingdom.
Now, before they even get the grains from them, they received the news that Lunar City was attacked, and the possibility of it being destroyed was high.
In the center of the meeting hall, a huge screen was showing the situation of Lunar City. The video was taken using a drone and sent back by their elite team. Although the video was taken from the border, they could see that every corner of the city was shrouded with black masses.
When the video was finished playing, an old man in his sixties glanced at more than 200 people in the hall and said, "This video was taken 3 days ago when Lunar City was attacked. According to the information we have, the possibility of Lunar City’s fall is as high as 99%."
After a moment of pause, he added, "Today, I gathered everyone here to discuss this matter. Lunar City was the biggest producer of grains before the apocalypse. Even though the soil is no longer suitable for planting, their granaries are full, and it should be enough to feed the entire kingdom for at least 5 years."
"So, I want to send reinforcements to help them pass through this ordeal. Even if we can only save half of the population, it would be more than enough."
The moment he finished his words, commotions broke out in the hall. Everyone discussed this matter in a low voice. Some even rejected this suggestion directly.
