65: Cleaning up industrial parks (1)

"It will be these next two days," Jiang Xin said.

"Brother Jiang, what is your plan?" Zhang Lei asked in a deep voice, his eyes fixed sharply on Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin: "I will send 10 hind attack helicopters and 2 chinooks, along with 3 squads of three-star Conscripts to the Industrial Park to clear out the zombies there! Most of the Evolvers in the troops will accompany us! You, Zhang Long, Li Wei, Chen Hao, Tanya, Li Ang, the Military Dog Howling Heaven, plus Wang Kun and Gold Dragon from the survivor base, along with the newcomers Yang Yi and Blaze Ash, and also Xiong Da and Xiong Er, will all go with me! Once we take the industrial park and receive the tank gift package, I will immediately summon 3 full battalions of Red Alert troops! You, Chen Hao, and Tanya will each lead a battalion, attacking on three fronts, advancing steadily, gradually compressing the activity space of the zombies in the city, splitting and encircling them, and eating them up bit by bit!"

Zhang Lei listened carefully, a gleam flashing in his eyes, and he nodded vigorously: "Good! This nibbling tactic is sound! Let's act as soon as possible! Lujiang City has been fallen for over a month, I really don't know how many living people are left inside..." He looked towards the north, in the direction of Lujiang, a trace of imperceptible worry between his brows.

...

The massive rotors churned the heavy air, emitting a deafening roar. Ten hind attack helicopters were like fierce steel wasps, their short wings on both sides hung with rocket pods and anti-tank missiles, flashing with a cold metallic luster; two massive chinook transport aircraft followed closely behind, their cargo bays filled with elite three-star Conscripts and the team of Evolvers that gathered the base's top combat power.

Jiang Xin stood beside the cabin door of a chinook, the strong wind blowing against his clothes. Beside him stood Zhang Lei, whose ice and fire aura flickered; Zhang Long was as steady as a mountain; Li Wei's muscles were knotted; Chen Hao's eyes burned with a thirst for battle; Tanya hugged her arms, her light brown ear-length short hair dancing in the wind, her eyes scanning sharply below; Li Ang held his iconic sniper rifle, his aura condensed; Howling Heaven sniffed the air vigilantly; the muscle-bound Wang Kun moved his thick neck, making clicking sounds; Iron Fist Gold Dragon kept clenching and unclenching his pair of Iron Fists that shimmered with a metallic luster. The Tesla Trooper Yang Yi's deep blue armor shone with a cold luster in the sunlight, and the flame mark on the Flametrooper Blaze Ash's light yellow exoskeleton armor was particularly eye-catching. Deep inside the cabin, the low breathing of Xiong Da and Xiong Er sounded like muffled thunder, and the friction of their alloy armor made a faint clanking sound.

"The industrial park is right ahead! Everyone, prepare for battle!" Jiang Xin's voice was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the tactical headset.

The Lujiang City Economic Development Zone Industrial Park appeared before their eyes like a giant steel graveyard. The once-busy factories were now dead silent, the broken glass windows like empty eye sockets, the rusted pipes twisted and winding, and the densely packed zombies on the ground were like a wriggling black tide, attracted by the roar of the helicopters, slowly lifting their heads.

"Fire at will! Lure them all over for me!" Jiang Xin did not hesitate and gave the order decisively.

"Understood! Hellfire ready!" The hind pilot replied in a hoarse and cold voice.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—!"

Dozens of Hellfire anti-tank missiles were like death's invitations, dragging hot and dazzling orange-red tail flames, tearing through the air, and precisely diving towards several large factories where a large number of zombies had gathered!

"Boom!!!"

Deafening explosions rang out in succession! The first factories to be hit disintegrated instantly like paper toys, and huge fireballs carrying concrete fragments, twisted steel bars, and countless charred limbs and broken arms shot into the sky! The shockwave swept out, blowing away and tearing the peripheral zombies like withered grass!

"Rocket barrage coverage! Fire!"

The rocket pods on both sides of the hind spat out deadly tongues of fire! Dense rockets poured down like a steel rainstorm, smashing into the densest areas of the Zombie Horde!

"Boom boom boom boom—!"

The continuous explosions merged into a symphony of destruction! The ground shook violently, flames shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed! The center of the explosion instantly turned into a purgatory of fire, and the terrifying shockwave and scorching heat wave tore, roasted, and threw hundreds and thousands of zombies! The dark green corrosive liquid steamed up pungent white smoke under the high temperature, and the foul stench of charred flesh filled the entire sky.

After several rounds of violent bombing, the surfaces of the ten hind attack helicopters actually shimmered with a faint, golden halo invisible to anyone except Jiang Xin—that was the star-up effect brought by massive kills! The notification sound of No. 1 also crazily refreshed the screen: 【Obtained hero badge】, 【Obtained hero badge】... Even the thick-skinned First-Tier Zombie, under the saturated firepower coverage of these modern war weapons, were harvested like ants, turning into cold statistical numbers.

Immediately afterwards, the 30mm autocannons under the nose of the hind began to emit a dull and deadly roar!

"Dong dong dong dong—!" The thick armor-piercing ammunition belts were like death's whips, lashing fiercely at the ground, plowing out hot gullies filled with flesh and blood! Those zombies that were lucky enough to survive the bombing, or those that poured in from the edges, were hit by the high-powered autocannon bullets, their bodies beaten into pieces like fragile ragdolls, limbs flying everywhere! Thick, dark green corrosive liquid splashed all over the twisted pipes and broken walls.

When the last hind stopped roaring, the entire industrial park had completely turned into scorched earth emitting thick smoke and stench. Burning wreckage, twisted metal, and charred corpses filled the field of vision, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of roasted meat and the pungent odor of chemicals.

"Sizzle sizzle..." It was the sound of flames licking the wreckage, the sound of cooling metal contracting in the embers, and even more so, the final wail of this land of death.

"Attention all units! The target area has been preliminarily cleared! Airdrop! Free action!" Jiang Xin immediately gave the order.

"Roar—!!!"

The first to respond were two roars that shook the sky! Xiong Da and Xiong Er were like two moving steel fortresses, jumping down directly from the open tail cabin door of the chinook!

"Boom! Boom!" Their heavy bodies slammed onto the ground, and the asphalt road instantly cracked and sank! The two giant beasts stood up, their heavy armored forepaws violently pounding their chests, making a drum-like roar, declaring their power and arrival to the entire silent ruins!

An agile zombie hissed and pounced on Xiong Da from the side, its speed as fast as a ghost!

A trace of cold killing intent flashed in Xiong Da's copper-bell-like giant eyes, and its huge forepaw slammed down with a sharp whistle that tore the air!

"Squish!" Like a hammer smashing a tomato! That zombie was instantly smashed into a puddle of meat mixed with bone fragments! Immediately after, Xiong Da's thick, sharp claws swept sideways!

"Swish—!" Five zombies pouncing from the front were cut as if by an invisible sharp blade, and were cut in half at the waist at the same time! Dark green filthy blood and internal organs splashed out, splashing onto Xiong Da's dark gray alloy armor, making a "sizzle" corrosive sound, but leaving only shallow marks.

A strength-type zombie tried to hug Xiong Da's hind leg and bite!

"Awooo!" Xiong Da let out an angry roar, and its huge body suddenly swung, and that strength-type zombie was smashed hard against a thick metal pillar next to it like a broken sack! "Crack!" The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible, the zombie's entire chest cavity collapsed, and it slid down softly.

Xiong Er was even more violent. It pounded its chest heavily with both palms again, let out a provocative roar, and then landed on all fours, charging towards the Zombie Horde in front with the momentum of a thunderbolt, like an out-of-control battering ram!

"Boom!" The few zombies blocking its way were hit like a high-speed train, instantly smashed to pieces! Its sharp giant claws waved wildly, each swing bringing up a bloody storm, with limbs and broken arms flying all over the sky! The light yellow hydraulic oil seeping from the gaps in the armor mixed with the thick rotten flesh, dyeing the battlefield into a nauseating scarlet hell!
