Doomsday Super Merchant

Chapter 441 Springboard

In the flagship command room of the First Fleet, the huge high-strength bulletproof glass allows people here to clearly see the entire 180-degree angle of the sky ahead.

Due to the use of a hovering system, after the five fleets formed a group, they only flew 50 meters above the sea. The flying speed was not fast, because when the fleet was in City No. 1, there were as many as 200 ships fully loaded with various supplies.

The Hercules transport airship has joined the fleet. The five fleets will temporarily serve as a escort force.

For an expedition like this that affects the life and death of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Yuanqiang certainly cannot stay in the Chamber of Commerce and wait for news. Instead, he personally serves as the commander-in-chief of the entire Eastern Expedition Army and concurrently as the Commander of the First Fleet. Xu Dali serves as the deputy commander of the Eastern Expedition Army.

Commander, Commander of the Second Fleet. Counting the Marines carried on each battleship, the entire Eastern Expeditionary Force reached a size of 350,000.

Flying at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, it would take three days to reach the destination covering a distance of six to seven thousand kilometers.

So after leaving the mainland, the next step is the endless sea, and the entire fleet needs to fly at low altitude for three days. The Pacific Ocean is too big, and ordinary fighter jets cannot fly such a long distance. But for the fleet,

, is not a problem at all. The crystallized energy on each battleship is enough for a battleship to not have to worry about fuel for 10 years. And the Hercules transport airship, with its terrifying three-month suspension capability, is not even a problem.

Xu Yuhai was also on Zhou Yuanqiang's flagship. He rarely left the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. When faced with this magnificent scene, he also became excited.

Regardless of his identity as Minister of Intelligence, he is only in his mid-twenties. In other words, his hair has not yet fully grown. So now, he is fully using his identity as a young man to experience this.

The momentum of a huge fleet. In fact, a few years ago, who would have thought that the Chamber of Commerce would not retreat but advance in the catastrophe of the end of the world?

As the Minister of Intelligence, he certainly knows how terrifying the current scientific research strength of the Chamber of Commerce is. Think about the hundreds of research institutes and laboratories, with hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers. They are all unified.

They were developing technologies one after another at an unprecedented speed. It felt a bit like Germany during World War II to Xu Yuhai. Their technology also developed horribly during the war.

On the fleet, you may be excited on the first day, but what about the second day?

Day and night, in addition to the endless sea, there is also the sea. Occasionally, one or two small islands will appear.

Zombies still exist among marine life. Sometimes when low-flying fleets pass by their territory, you can see them jumping out of the water. Alienated zombies like sharks are jumping out of the sea.

Afterwards, whenever you see one, you will wonder whether it is a shark after all. Because the carrion all over their bodies has basically fallen off after being soaked for a long time, leaving a small amount of scarlet meat attached to the skeleton.

In their heyday, they could only rush more than ten meters away from the sea surface, not to mention that they are now in an advanced stage of weakness and have lost the ferocity of the past.

Zhou Yuanqiang sighed: "The body functions of humans and animals are limited. The virus can mutate, but it cannot be permanent. Once the body's functions are all weakened and die, the end of the virus will come. Zombies without viruses cannot be called zombies."

Not zombies, but dead bodies. It seems that this catastrophe for mankind is about to end."

As long as you think about it appearing in the apocalypse three years ago, until now eleven years or eight years after the apocalypse, you can simply describe it as the passage of time.

Xu Yuhai also sighed and said, "But another catastrophe is coming soon."

Thinking of the upcoming war, perhaps no one would have thought that in the end of the world, it would be the Chamber of Commerce representing the mainland that initiated the war, right? The former world hegemon is now being challenged, and will most likely be beheaded.

The end of the world is originally an era of reshuffling the cards. Whoever can seize the opportunity may stand on the top of the world.

"What are the satellite capabilities of the new United States? What are the chances of discovering us?"

The entire fleet has added 200 Hercules transport airships, and it is no longer a simple battle. In fact, Zhou Yuanqiang would ask this, mainly because it involves the combat purpose of the entire fleet. A series of calculations have been made beforehand, but this relationship

When it comes to the survival of the entire chamber of commerce, we can only be cautious and cautious.

Xu Yuhai's face straightened and he said: "Boss, although our fleet's target is large, because it is at an absolutely low altitude, it is impossible for the other party to detect our fleet. Although their industrial power is strong, we are monitoring them, and the missiles they launch are

The satellites were all knocked out."

After three days of sailing, when entering the former US waters, the fleet's altitude was maintained at 15 meters above the sea, almost close to the sea. At this altitude, it is equivalent to the fleet's reconnaissance surface.

Reaching the lowest point, the radar station is in a blind spot at such a low altitude, and it is difficult to detect UFOs that appear.

There is a huge time difference between the two places, but this has long been taken into consideration by the Chamber of Commerce, and the chosen departure and arrival times are exactly around 7 a.m. U.S. time.

From a distance, I saw a black line between the water and the sky. It was land, but it was not the direct American land, but several islands. To be precise, it was several islands close to the American coastline. As long as you are familiar with the United States

Those who look at the map can easily discover the identities of these islands, which are also the Chamber of Commerce’s destination this time, Channel Islands National Park.

It is not far from Los Angeles. It can be said to be the frontier station of the former prosperous place in the United States. To the northeast from this starting point is San Francisco, and to the southeast is toward Mexico. To the left of the main island of Channel Islands National Park is San Miguel.

Island, with Santa Cruz Island on the right.

As previously deduced by the staff, the ultra-low-altitude flight indeed evaded the scanning of the opponent's radar station when the opponent's satellite was destroyed.

When the huge fleet appeared in the northern part of the Channel Islands Park, it was a large wasteland-like area, showing dilapidation everywhere. Eleven years were enough for the flora and fauna here to flourish. After the fleet appeared, this

Some hares and other animals in a wilderness were running towards the mountains in the distance as if they were on the run.

The battleship did not land, but hovered at low altitude, continuing to protect the transport airship to prevent any emergencies and enable rapid response.

How spectacular are the 200 Hercules transport airships? If you look at almost half of the island, you will know how large their coverage is. These transport airships not only transport supplies, but also transport hundreds of thousands of construction projects

The personnel arrived. When the first Hercules transport airship landed, inside the open hatch were construction machines driven out one after another, as well as mountains of materials.

Once the cargo is unloaded, it will immediately take off and make way for the next transport airship.

Since this place is close to the seaside, sand and gravel are not a problem at all, so a large number of excavators dug out the sand and gravel, and then mixed it with cement using large mixers under the transport of trucks to start building a simple airport.

Other engineers set up the bundles one by one. This kind of bundled bundle is actually a simple room folded back. When using it, it only needs to be opened and fixed with fixed posts to form a temporary military camp.

This kind of quick package can be opened very quickly. In just one morning, simple houses appeared on this wasteland one after another, and they were quickly connected together. They were so densely packed that it was surprising.

The sight of hundreds of thousands of people working at the same time is simply a shocking picture. You have to admit that a construction miracle is taking place below.

Due to the use of fast-setting cement, the entire airport was constructed so quickly that in one day, the entire northern quarter of the island's coastline was covered with thick cement. The simple military camp that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people was also

The construction was completed. In the evening, the soldiers who had worked hard all day did not enjoy the steaming rice. Instead, they ate canned food and fell asleep.

On the second day, the entire northern part of the island was completely transformed into a huge construction site, with a large number of cars busy transporting such materials.

Hundreds of thousands of people were busy like ants. Anti-aircraft artillery groups quickly appeared on both sides of the airport, and anti-aircraft missile racks were installed. The newly selected base below was changing every hour, and there were so many people.

It is power, this sentence is vividly reflected here.

No one would believe that such an astonishing change would occur here overnight.

On the fifth day, the perfect air defense system was finally completed. The dense air defense groups below have strong protective bodies. Even if they are attacked by 1,000 fighter jets, there is no need to be afraid. The defense measures here are enough to ensure that this simple military

Base security.

It took three days to set off, and then five days on the battleship. For eight days, they could only move in a small space. The marines on the battleship were already bored.

After the construction of the fortifications was completed, the huge warship finally landed.

But the warship did not land at the airport, but landed in the mountains behind it, well hidden.

The construction of a simple military base is just the completion of defense fortifications. There are many things to be built next. A military base cannot be completed so easily. Without a few months of construction, it is impossible to become a springboard. But

In the early stage, it was already enough.

The crew of the fleet are not allowed to leave the battleship. Even Zhou Yuanqiang can only stay on the battleship.

In fact, every battleship is like a small city, with various facilities such as cinemas, swimming pools, etc. In terms of food, it can provide the needs of the entire battleship for up to one year. Steel battleships are different from aircraft carriers in that they use

Without the intelligent system, the crew of each ship is only about 200. Compared with the approximately 6,000 people on an aircraft carrier, there is basically one sky and one underground.

Except that the space for movement is not as strong as on land, there is no other difference at all.

Zhou Yuanqiang was very relaxed, but in contrast, Xu Yuhai never rested for a moment. After arriving, he left Zhou Yuanqiang's flagship and boarded another Yun-class battleship, commanding this battleship to break away from the fleet organization.

, appeared on the main peak of the island, and began to lead his intelligence personnel and a large number of technical personnel to build a small satellite control center.

All this is going according to plan. All the equipment in the satellite control center has been prepared long ago. All that is needed is to uninstall it from the battleship and install it.

After three days of busy work, this small satellite control center was finally ready for use.

Since it can be controlled remotely, after completing the construction, Xu Yuhai returned to Zhou Yuanqiang's flagship and set up his own intelligence working group next to the command room. A large amount of equipment was moved in, forming a weather observatory.

Block satellite display screen.

The first thing Xu Yuhai did was to mobilize spy satellites to conduct careful reconnaissance around the Channel Islands and collect a large amount of intelligence. On the other hand, he began to send out unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, centered on the Channel Islands, toward Los Angeles.

Not only that, he also dispatched more than a dozen reconnaissance teams, who would conduct reconnaissance from land.

Since the military base is still in the early stages of construction, the scope of the reconnaissance is only around the Channel Islands and does not dare to go deep into the Los Angeles area.

With the initial work completed, the unmanned reconnaissance drone finally appeared over Los Angeles.

Zhou Yuanqiang and Xu Yuhai were sitting on a huge screen, and what appeared on it was the view of the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. The first thing that caught their eyes was half the arc of the earth. Then the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft suddenly dived, and the screen was full of airflow.

and billowing clouds, and finally after two or three minutes, the endless land below appeared, as well as the densely populated city buildings on the earth.

Using new technology, the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can fly at a very impressive height and can avoid enemy radar. In addition, it uses the most advanced stealth technology in the United States, making it almost impossible for radar to detect it.

“This is Los Angeles!”

As the drone slowed down, the real face of Los Angeles could be clearly seen on the screen.

Although I have seen everything about Los Angeles from spy satellites before, seeing it from such a close angle and with such clarity still gives people a strong shock. As an international metropolis, one of the top cities in the world,

The importance of Los Angeles to the United States is definitely the same as that of Shenzhen in China. It has a large population, is an economic center, and has high-rise buildings everywhere. It is far from being comparable to any city in the country. Even Shanghai has a certain gap.

But in the apocalypse, what Los Angeles looks like is unbelievable.

The high-rise buildings are dilapidated everywhere, and the glass windows of the skyscrapers are broken everywhere. Some buildings are covered with vines, and the dense zombies in the streets are no longer surging everywhere as before, but seem to be still.

It only moves occasionally.

An unmanned reconnaissance drone passed quickly close to the street. The zombies only raised their heads and lacked the strength to wave their hands. Several jet monsters were seen from the camera, but they were completely regarded as unmanned reconnaissance drones and seemed to be in the air.

He ignored her and lay softly on the street, not even moving.

There are a lot of cars on the street, blocking the entire street in some places.

Like domestic cities, the green belt on the street is like a weed pile, with patches of trees growing in many places. A few years are enough for these trees to grow to several meters high. Some fast-growing plants, even even

It formed a large area, completely like being in the wild. The former villa complex was submerged in the plant belt, and the yard of the villa was full of weeds, covering the cars parked inside under the grass.

According to the development of the aerial situation, within ten years, Los Angeles will definitely be covered with plants and become an urban ruins in the forest.

Since New America had only been established for half a year, and their strategy was not far different from that of the Chamber of Commerce at that time, which was to centralize the population and abandon some cities. Obviously, Los Angeles was abandoned by them and did not become one of their settlements. As long as

If you think about it, you can understand the reason why they gave up this place. It was because the number of zombies was too large and it was a thankless job.

Unlike the Chamber of Commerce, they have advanced crystal warheads that can kill zombies on a large scale and take back a city. It's very simple.

Their most important means in New America is actually biochemical warriors. Through these biochemical warriors who don't know what death and pain are, they slaughter all the zombies and occupy the city. Like the Chamber of Commerce before, they did not use fighter jets to capture the city, because

The damage done by fighter jets to the city is too great. If captured, too many areas of the city will be destroyed, which is not cost-effective.

Unmanned reconnaissance drones flew almost street by street, but apart from zombies, there were no surviving humans in the entire city of Los Angeles.

Eleven years, even if there was, I would have escaped long ago. Those who cannot escape will eventually become food for zombies, so how can they survive to this day? This is eleven years, not eleven days.

With the drone reconnaissance completed, a reconnaissance team finally arrived on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

As the most developed area in the United States, the area around Los Angeles, like the Guangdong area, is almost connected to the city, with buildings everywhere. Unlike inland cities, cities are separated by dozens of kilometers.

There were scattered villages and towns. This density made it more difficult for the reconnaissance team to move forward. It took several days to reach Los Angeles, which was beyond Xu Yuhai's expectation.

"Call the headquarters, the target of the third team has arrived at the periphery, everything is normal now, over!"
