NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 270 I miss you_1
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Wang Tao saw the military base's surrounding wall.
"We've finally arrived! There are some zombies around, let's clean them up."
After spending some time clearing the zombies around the base, Wang Tao and his companions entered the base and returned to the command center.
Wang Tao noticed everyone was somewhat disheveled and said,
"Today was really unlucky... Everyone should rest early tonight."
"Yeah."
Everyone felt helpless, as none of them had expected their first flight on the plane to be their last.
The base had only two aircrafts, and with the biggest one gone, only the helicopter remained. Although the helicopter was more convenient most of the time, the transport aircraft could fly higher and further, something the helicopter couldn't match…
Wang Tao didn't rest but went with He Jijun to check the black box instead.
The black box is the flight data recorder of the aircraft, used for accident investigation, maintenance, and flight testing. Reading its records can usually determine the cause of an accident.
The base was equipped with devices to read the black box, and together they quickly figured out how to operate it.
But—
"Damn! It can't be read; all the electronic components inside are damaged!"
The usually calm He Jijun cursed out loud.
"..."
Wang Tao closely examined the black box and noted that the damage didn't seem caused by impact or explosion. The outer shell of the black box was very durable, with fire and explosion-resistant capabilities, yet the contents were still ruined.
Wang Tao and He Jijun carefully recalled the situation; the plane had suddenly lost control after leaving the Giant Zombie.
But this surely had nothing to do with the Giant Zombie, for they had flown helicopters in front of it before without any issues.
Could it be related to the weather, the region, or some mysterious force?
Both felt a bit helpless. If they couldn't figure this out, they'd be hesitant to fly helicopters in the future. Wang Tao had even promised Lan Yulian he would return…
The next day, at dawn.
Wang Tao gathered everyone and informed them that the black box was also damaged, asking if anyone had any ideas.
People exchanged thoughts for a while, but no useful answers emerged. They weren't professionals, after all; even He Jijun, who knew how to fly and handle some simple malfunctions, was out of his depth with this issue.
"Forget it, let's not dwell on this for now. Let's treat that area as a no-fly zone… Let's all try to see if we can make contact with anyone else."
They had previously made contact with a Survivor Base, and although it had been overrun, it proved that other survivor camps were nearby. Furthermore, Wang Tao asked Lan Yulian to try to establish contact from her end. So he felt it was still possible that they might make contact with other people or Lan Yulian.
Unfortunately, after a whole day's work, they got no messages. Lan Yulian didn't make contact either.
Wang Tao checked on his fused 'Little Huo', the countdown showed two days remaining.
"Although Zijin Base is overrun with a large number of zombies, it seems temporarily safe for now. I'll make another trip after my Awakening…"
Wang Tao had initially planned to go tomorrow, but after the aircraft accident, he hadn't figured out what exactly happened. He would have to pass through that region to reach Zijing City. If he took a detour, he wasn't clear on the exact size of the "no-fly zone"… So it was better to be cautious.
Busy until the evening, Yang Changhong and others left the communication room. Wang Tao was also preparing to go to sleep when the communication equipment suddenly rang.
"Zzzt... zzzt… Is anyone there… zzzt… I just thought I heard someone's voice…"
Hearing the woman's voice from the device, Wang Tao, who hadn't left yet, and He Jijun were instantly alert.
He Jijun immediately said,
"I'm here. Where are you survivors from?"
"Wow, there really is someone!"
The person on the other end was obviously excited. After calming her excited emotions, she spoke again,
"We are a small team, constantly on the move. We plan to head to Wuyang City…"
Head to Wuyang City? Wang Tao and He Jijun looked at each other.
"Wuyang City is very dangerous; there are many Level 4 zombies here. We suggest not coming to Wuyang City!"
"Ah? Four-level zombies!"
A few exclamations of shock came through, as they obviously had not encountered four-level zombies before.
Then, whispers of quiet discussion could be heard on the other end.
"Wuyang City is that dangerous? Maybe we shouldn't go…"
"But we need to reach a large Survivor Base! If we don't go through Wuyang City, we'll have to take a much longer route…"
"What should we do then…" Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire
After hearing the phrase "large Survivor Base," Wang Tao's eyebrows rose.
He gave He Jijun a glance, and He Jijun nodded.
"Which large Survivor Base are you talking about? As far as I know, there isn't one in Wuyang City."
The other side immediately responded,
"I don't know if there's a base in Wuyang City, but there's a large Survivor Base west of Wuyang City! Although we don't know the exact location of this base, we have some important clues about it! To reach that base, taking some risks is worth it! But we are currently trapped by a tide of zombies. If you are willing to help us, we'll share the clues with you!"
West of Wuyang City?
Wang Tao furrowed his brows.
The area west of Wuyang City was too broad; without specific coordinates, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Besides, going through Wuyang City was virtually impossible; they'd have to make a detour.
