The sky was filled with dark clouds.
It was hard to tell if it was clouds, radiation dust, or smoke from bombs.
In the rural area east of Jia City, there were low-rise houses scattered around.
In the shadow, a few mutated cockroaches swayed their meter-long antennae as they searched for rotten food.
They didn't react to the people that walked past them. Only the smell of rotten food could arouse their appetite. Because of their hunger, they would occasionally try to attack zombies, but they were often scratched to death by zombies.
If a zombie and a mutated cockroach walked together without a doubt, it must be because of a mutant flood. Because only a mutant flood would make the mutants temporarily forget about their hunger and attack the survivors together with the zombies searching for survivors.
As to whether there were other cities that could have mutants flood, no one knew. Most people only stayed in the territory they were familiar with. Even the farthest merchant fleet only made it to the Northern Alliance Area.
The mutant flood was limited to Wanghai City. Jiang Chen, who was in the rural area of Jia City, felt the air was exceptionally clear.
"The situation is very difficult. Yesterday, our people advanced 500 meters to the Jia Sports Center, but they quickly encountered fierce resistance. The mutated humans obtained a large number of electromagnetic interference bombs and EMP grenades. "
"The snipers of the Hunter Corps helped a lot, but as the war zone advanced to the city, there were too many obstacles. The mutated humans' mortars and grenades also caused a large number of casualties to the Hunter Corps. "
Cheng Weiguo looked at the cockroaches on the side of the road scurrying into the shadows as he lowered the rifle in his hand.
"That's bad." Jiang Chen grinned as he happily led Cheng Weiguo and a small team of soldiers in the opposite direction of Jia City.
The general didn't get angry at the stalemate of the battle, which made Cheng Weiguo feel relieved.
But as he watched the frontline getting further and further away, he forced a smile.
"General, can I ask where we are going?"
They had walked for more than ten kilometers. If they continued, they would reach the neighboring county, but they still hadn't reached the place Jiang Chen mentioned.
"We're here."
Jiang Chen stopped and looked at the abandoned warehouse in front of him with a smile.
Two days ago, when the helicopter sent him here, he randomly found a spacious factory nearby as a storage point for his firearms. Due to the activities of the mutated humans, there were no survivors in this area, so there was no need to worry about the firearms being stolen by scavengers. All they needed to do was to stay as far away from the frontline as possible to avoid being hit by stray mortar shells.
After choosing a location, he returned to the modern world and waited patiently for the Russians' firearms to be in place. Then, he transported the firearms over from the ship.
The perplexed Cheng Weiguo followed Jiang Chen into the factory building.
When he saw the things in the factory, the confusion on his face quickly turned into shock, and his round eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets...
"This, this is —"
Looking at Cheng Weiguo's shocked expression, Jiang Chen laughed heartily. Then, he returned to the door and shouted at the riflemen behind them.
"Boys. Get in the car, we're sending the Mutants to meet God! "
…
Before the war, because fossil fuels were almost completely eliminated, only the wealthy would keep two out-of-print gasoline motorcycles in their homes as collectibles. Therefore, gasoline powered motorcycles were considered antiques in the apocalypse.
When Jiang Chen asked the soldiers to get in the car, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he realized that these old drivers didn't know how to drive. Without a choice, he had to personally demonstrate how to drive this thing to the soldiers.
With the personal guidance of the general, the soldiers obviously learned very seriously. Fortunately, although the principle of the gasoline car was different from the electric car commonly seen in the apocalypse, the operating style was still somewhat similar. After spending more than an hour to familiarize themselves with the clutch and other equipment, the soldiers finally learned how to drive.
As to the distance and angle conversion formulas for launching rockets, they were all written on a piece of paper. The soldier responsible for launching only needed to press a few buttons to calculate it.
Eight BM-21s drove out of the warehouse one after another and lined up under Jiang Chen's command. Then they put down the brackets on the sides of the truck to secure it and complete the deployment. The one hundred survivors recruited from the Seventh Area were busy moving almost full ammunition out of the warehouse. Two people cooperated to carry 67 kilograms of ammunition that was nearly three meters long and pushed it into the launch tube.
Before loading, Jiang Chen specifically told them to load the rockets with the white paint on them. As to the ones with red paint, they were all napalm bombs specifically used against zombies and mutants.
The loading was carried out in an orderly manner.
Jiang Chen took Cheng Weiguo to the rooftop two hundred meters away.
Jiang Chen raised his binoculars and narrowed his eyes to look at Jia City 13 kilometers away. He grinned.
"Let's take a look now. It's going to change in a moment."
Cheng Weiguo didn't pick up the binoculars. Instead, he worriedly glanced at the honeycomb shaped rockets.
"Do we really not need to evacuate the soldiers from the city first?"
With regards to the weapons from two centuries ago, he was a little worried that these firecrackers would fall on his own people.
"Don't worry. One kilometer of distance is enough."
Although the accuracy of the Russian's weapons was poor, it wouldn't be one kilometer off. Jiang Chen glanced at Cheng Weiguo.
Don't underestimate the wisdom of the "ancient people."
"General, these antiques, where did you get them from?" Cheng Weiguo picked up the tablet used for commanding and asked.
"The launch vehicle came from a military museum. The ammunition was produced according to the blueprint." Jiang Chen didn't mind his abrupt question as he answered nonchalantly.
Cheng Weiguo didn't ask anymore when he heard that Jiang Chen didn't plan to say more. Loyalty was something he did not doubt, but curiosity was something that everyone would have a little bit of.
The helicopter arrived above Jia City and hovered just outside of the mutated human's anti-air range.
Under the cover of the radiation dust and clouds, it hid its existence and provided the two of them with an aerial view of the battlefield. The wide-area life signal detection device opened and scanned the location of the mutated humans. They were marked as red dots on the tablet in Cheng Weiguo's hand.
From the ten thousand red dots, the mutated humans must have used life signal shielding devices. But the shielding device's range was limited and could only cover some important targets.
Cheng Weiguo used manual observation to circle the unmarked targets. He nodded to Jiang Chen and handed over the tablet.
The first shot would be personally ordered by the general.
Jiang Chen looked at the rocket launchers that were loaded on the empty ground two hundred meters away and took the tablet from Cheng Weiguo.
The distance and attack location were clear.
"Listen to my command! Angle 220 °, distance 14.1 kilometers … Prepare to fire! "
The honeycomb-shaped rocket launcher slowly rose and stopped at almost the same angle. When he saw the blue flags that were ready to go up, he took a deep breath and handed the tablet back to Cheng Weiguo.
Jiang Chen pressed on the headset as he looked in the direction of Jia City and shouted.
"Fire!"
