Chapter 558: Chapter 154: Battle of the Base

"Look, what is that thing?"

The survivors at the Sunshine Shelter looked up, pointing at the sky and discussing it among themselves.

They were very curious about the thing falling from the sky.

They had no idea what it was.

Similarly,

Lin Fan stared at the object slowly descending from the sky, feeling quite astonished. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a crate.

Gu Hang approached Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, that plane just now looked like a transport plane."

"A transport plane?"

"Yeah, a military transport plane."

Gu Hang was a bit excited, seeing this object sparked some idea in him, though it was unconfirmed, and the specific situation was still unknown.

Lin Fan looked on, also feeling a sense of anticipation. There were more living survivors than he had imagined, which was good news.

It was just that he had no idea what was inside the crate.

After a while,

The crate, equipped with a parachute, gently and precisely landed on the ground of the shelter.

The survivors gathered around.

No one took the initiative to open the crate to check what was inside.

Lin Fan and Gu Hang walked toward the crate.

"Make way, big brother is coming," Guan Hao shouted.

The onlooking survivors parted to make way.

The crate in front of them wasn’t very big, just half the size of a regular metal crate. It had a lock hanging on it, but it was not locked; it was merely latched to prevent the doors from opening and the contents from falling out.

Lin Fan walked up to the crate, listened carefully, and did not hear any movement inside.

He could rule out the possibility of someone using the crate to drop zombies.

The thought was dark, but under the current circumstances, any person was capable of doing anything.

Lin Fan removed the lock from the crate, and under the expectant gaze of the crowd, he opened it. Instantly, as everyone saw what was inside, they were all dumbfounded and completely stunned.

Good lord.

It was full of weapons, an abundance of firearms, and lots of ammunition; there were even grenades. To tell the truth, everyone was truly shocked.

Lin Fan turned to Gu Hang and asked, "Gu Hang, what do you think is going on?"

Gu Hang, with a serious look, shook his head, "I don’t know."

He approached the crate. These firearms were for military use only, and there were even instruction manuals. It was evident that they knew ordinary citizens wouldn’t know how to use guns, so they provided the manuals to help civilians self-learn the knowledge about firearms.

"There’s a letter."

Gu Hang noticed a letter placed alongside the instruction manuals.

Lin Fan took the letter and tore it open.

He read as he looked over it.

"To our fellow compatriots who find this letter, greetings, we are soldiers from the 71st Group Army. When the apocalypse broke out, we were thrown into chaos, our comrades turned into zombies, causing us tremendous disaster. Under General Zhou’s leadership, we gathered fifteen thousand people within a month.

With proper equipment, we counterattacked the zombies. Shielded by an iron flood, we were invincible, clearing countless zombies in Qing City, and the scale of victory began to tip in our favor.

These zombies, which used to be our compatriots, aside from having formidable strength and speed, have no special abilities to contend with us. We all had a beautiful future in mind, thinking that as long as we continued to try, we could eradicate all the zombies.

But an unexpected setback occurred. We faced a counterattack from the zombies and met gigantic zombies five to six meters tall. Their bodies were as hard as steel, and bullets, grenades were useless against them. Even missiles caused them only minor damage.

We also met undead zombies that couldn’t be killed no matter what. They were very fast and powerful, bullets, and missiles couldn’t lock onto them, and they could rip through tanks and artillery.

We are sorry; we have let you down. We were defeated in the fight against the zombies.

These firearms are the only thing we can do for you; we hope you can arm yourselves, survive the apocalypse, and our future will be bright."

After reading the contents of the letter,

Lin Fan’s heart struggled to calm down for a long time.

Even though the letter did not describe the battle situation, he could feel how fierce the fighting must have been.

"Gu Hang," he turned back to look, only to see Gu Hang’s eyes red, with tears just about to fall.

Gu Hang’s voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "I just knew that in places unknown to us, they were still fighting against the zombies. Fifteen thousand people are not few, with various pieces of equipment, zombies indeed could not handle them. But now, with all these bizarre and horrifying new types of zombies appearing, even with these weapons, how long can we hold on?"

The surrounding survivors remained silent.

The content of the letter moved them as well.

It was somewhat regrettable.

No one expected such an ending; for those soldiers, their goal was to pick up weapons to protect their homeland and clear the city of zombies.

But in the end, they cannot overcome the zombies.

Perhaps even those soldiers had not expected the zombies to have such terrifying creatures among them.

"Gu Hang, I’m going to step out for a bit."

Lin Fan looked into the distance, where the silhouette of the transport plane was no longer visible; after all, planes are fast.

"Okay."

Gu Hang seemed to understand Lin Fan’s thought; he didn’t ask further or say much, just nodded.

This time, Lin Fan did not leave the shelter at his usual leisurely pace but instead took off instantly from the spot, turning into a blur as he chased into the distance with a loud ’pang’.

Gu Hang watched Lin Fan’s departing figure and muttered to himself, "I hope everything goes smoothly."
