Chapter 572: Chapter 156: Never Work Alone When Teamwork Is an Option_3

The armed soldier laughed, "No, this is the Dragon-T -22, which started being used eleven years ago. It’s a significant improvement over the Yun-20 that you mentioned. It can handle a variety of complex weather conditions, and its engines and various equipment have been upgraded, allowing for a larger payload."

"Oh, I knew it looked familiar," Zhu Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

They then followed the group up the ramp and entered the interior.

This was his first time boarding a military transport plane, something that would have been impossible in his previous life, especially since he was a bit overweight and might not even be accepted into the army.

Dong Jia and the others were equally curious, looking around.

They weren’t very knowledgeable about military matters; they were just curious.

Soon, the transport plane took off, and they could feel the sense of power during takeoff.

This was their first time leaving Huang City to pick up people from the outside.

And they were headed to not just one but two bases.

The thought was thrilling.

Throughout the flight, Zhu Cheng wondered if he would get airsick, but the journey turned out to be quite pleasant.

After a while,

He heard the intercom announcement.

"We have now reached the Desert Base perimeter and are beginning our descent; everyone get ready."

The pilot’s voice came through the intercom.

Zhu Cheng and the others felt the sensation of diving downward.

Soldiers guarding the perimeter of the Desert Base looked up at the transport plane preparing to land in the distance. They had orders that, starting today, the Desert Base would fully retreat and relocate to the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City.

They knew about a survivor at Sunshine Shelter named Lin Fan who was quite formidable.

As for how formidable, they didn’t know much, but what they did know was that he was indeed very capable.

The transport plane landed on the runway and began to taxi before coming to a stop.

Zhu Cheng didn’t need anyone to remind him what to do; he knew to check for zombies nearby, as that was what an assistant was supposed to do.

"Be alert, there are over thirty zombies running towards us, one of which is a speed-type zombie."

As the zombies entered Zhu Cheng’s range,

He had a clear view of all the zombies’ statuses.

"Copy that."

Lao Zhong, carrying a shield, was the first to step out of the hatch. The desolate yellow sands gave off a sense of loneliness, and he imagined the researchers stationed at this base must feel very isolated.

Ye Qian followed behind with a calm expression.

Dong Jia, clutching her blade, made a crisp sound as her metallic War Armor collided with the deck.

"Zhu Cheng, keep a sharp eye out and alert us immediately if anything happens," she said.

Zhu Cheng replied, "I understand."

He continued to look around, and besides the zombies he’d just spotted, there were no others in sight.

The soldiers who had accompanied them also disembarked from the plane, but Dong Jia didn’t let them open fire. After all, this area hadn’t been cleared by Brother Lin, and attracting a horde of zombies with the sound of gunfire would be problematic without prior knowledge of their presence.

Lao Zhong had Ye Qian set up her sniper rifle on his shoulder. "Xiao Ye, let’s begin," he said.

"Oh."

Ye Qian enjoyed long-range shooting. Through her scope, the zombies appeared one by one. With a ’biu’ sound, a running zombie was shot in the head, its body flung backward by the impact.

Biu!

Biu!

One after another, ordinary zombies were shot in the head in quick succession.

The intervals were short.

The fully armed soldiers watched in admiration, acknowledging her as a female warrior of exceptional skill. That level of precision required many years of training to achieve.

Thirty or so zombies sound terrifying?

Of course, they were.

But that didn’t mean they could get away without a fight, obviously not.

"Leave the speed-type zombie to me," Dong Jia declared.

Lao Zhong said, "Charge bravely, I’ve got your back."

Holding her straight blade, Dong Jia charged head-on at the speed-type zombie. As she closed the distance, she already anticipated the zombie’s next move.

"Jumping to try and knock me down?"

The speed-type zombie was unaware that its next action had already been predicted. As it leaped forward with a ferocious roar, trying to pounce on her,

Thrust!

The crystal-enhanced blade split the speed-type zombie in two.

For the speed-type zombie, it probably never imagined that just as it had leaped and was about to pounce, the human would sidestep and cut it in half so cunningly.

"If Brother Hang saw this move, he would definitely approve. Clean and efficient," Dong Jia muttered to herself.

Then she decisively cut open the head to extract the crystal.

Their current combat abilities were all cultivated by Brother Lin, who had continuously fed them with crystals. Even a pig Awakener would become a hero when nourished like this.

The armed soldiers, witnessing these scenes, exchanged looks.

"So this is the fearsome power of the Awakeners, huh?" they remarked.

They had seen what Lin Fan was capable of.

So their tolerance was naturally high.

But seeing others just as formidable, they felt envy and excitement, and most of all, hope. If more and more people like this emerged, wouldn’t the future be brighter?

The rest was easy to handle.

Professor Xia had already informed the Desert Base personnel about the situation, that the research would be suspended. The real challenge, Professor Xia continued to work on.

While some wanted to keep trying,

The reality was clear. Professor Xia had also told them that Huang City would be humanity’s true hopeful homeland, needing their contributions, not seclusion in this place for cell research with no current direction.
