Chapter 62: Earth Shakes Up
Haijing Fortress, underground headquarters.
In the huge, dim and empty conference room, Li Zhenhui sat at the top of the round conference table, his hands supporting his forehead, lost in thought.
The situation in various places had been reported before the wireless communication was completely cut off, and it could only be described as extremely bad. Every human fortress was now in a bitter battle.
A huge number of animal zombies, along with the appearance of those black clouds, attacked the humans. The human zombies, on the other hand, had remained quiet and still stayed in the ruins of their city. Otherwise, with the cooperation of the two, there would be no telling how many human fortresses would have fallen.
Even so, one quarter of the human fortresses fell unexpectedly and became a paradise for zombies!
The complete failure of electronic communications and reconnaissance systems in a short period of time was one aspect, but what made humans complain even more were the zombie birds and large mutant beasts that could burrow into the ground.
The appearance of these things is simply impossible to prevent. Moreover, they all carry a large amount of T virus, and just a little bit of damage is exactly the same as being bitten by a zombie.
Moreover, it is not only the Red Star Republic that is facing this situation. Before the satellite communications were completely interrupted, the Provisional Government of the Red Star Republic had received distress signals from America, Europe, the Middle East and other regions. Apparently, such dark clouds appeared all over the world, and a large number of animal zombies also appeared and began to frantically attack the remaining humans!
What really saddened Li Zhenhui was that his own Fuxing Army, a full 200,000 people, were buried in the ruins of Muyang City!
These 200,000 people can be said to be two-thirds of Li Zhenhui's assets. It is precisely because of these assets and other trump cards that he can become a person who has the final say in the current interim government. Without the army, in this chaotic world where the strong are respected, he is nothing!
Originally, Li Zhenhui planned to let his own troops seize the credit and plunder supplies in order to expand his power. Who could have thought that those damn zombies pretended to be stupid and finally lured his 200,000 elite troops into Muyang City, and then started a crazy massacre!
Originally, he had been holding on to a glimmer of hope for some time, but just now, when Yang Wei appeared in the Haijing Fortress with the remaining one thousand or so soldiers, Li Zhenhui instantly realized that his army was finished.
He shot Yang Wei on the spot and was about to rally the troops and reorganize the army when an overwhelming black cloud swept in, followed by a seemingly endless ocean of zombie birds and various mutant beasts.
The huge Haijing Fortress immediately entered a state of war, and Li Zhenhui, who saw this scene, instantly realized that his plan to kill zombies in a short period of time and become the head of all mankind had also failed. This disaster was far darker than he had imagined!
And this was just the beginning. Although wireless communication was interrupted, there were still wired communications and even network connections between Haijing Fortress and some large fortresses. In just half a day after the black fog disaster began, the Haijing Red Star Provisional Government, which was originally in a dominant position, received various reports in succession.
The Xijing Fortress declared independence and established the Northwest People's United Government.
Guangchuan Fortress declared independence and established the Southeast Rescue Alliance.
The Hong Kong City Fortress declared independence and established the Hong Kong Island Provisional Government.
The Lucheng Fortress declared independence and established a coastal salvation front.
Liaocheng Fortress...
…
This series of giant fortresses originally placed their hopes on unity and cooperation to overcome difficulties together, and on the leadership of the Haijing Provisional Government. However, when they heard that the 200,000 Renaissance Army of the Haijing Provisional Government were all fed to the zombies, they immediately realized that they could only rely on themselves.
What's more, once communication is lost, the giant fortresses will be unable to form effective combat coordination. It would be better to quickly unite with the surrounding small fortresses to establish a settlement within a controllable range.
You know, after the satellite communication was blocked, even the underground optical cables were constantly bitten off by the mutant beasts traveling underground. The various fortresses of mankind were about to become isolated islands in the darkness!
The situation that was about to become clear has become extremely dark again. It is even worse than when the biochemical crisis first broke out.
Most of those who originally hoped to kill all the zombies and rebuild civilization in a short period of time have now given up this idea. The most urgent thing is to survive this disaster. Everything else is nonsense.
In front of Li Zhenhui, a holographic map of the Red Star Republic was floating, with the existing Red Star human fortresses marked out with red highlights. At this moment, these highlights were slowly extinguishing one by one.
Whenever a bright spot went out, it meant that the fortress had completely lost contact with the Haijing Fortress. Both wireless and wired communications were cut off.
Gradually, the only bright spots left were some small fortresses around the Haijing Fortress, and these small fortresses were also constantly extinguished.
Li Zhenhui stared at the light spot on the holographic screen, his eyes were about to burst into flames, but his heart was getting colder and colder. His original ambitions were about to turn into bubbles...
Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded and someone walked into the meeting room.
Li Zhenhui frowned and was about to start cursing. He had clearly instructed the guards not to enter without his permission, so who on earth was so bold as to kill him!
But as soon as he looked up and saw who it was, his expression immediately changed from rage to smile, and he said softly: "It turned out to be Mr. Wu Qiang, I thought it was someone else, Mr. Wu, do you have any good news?" He pretended to be calm, but his tone seemed extremely urgent. He really needed good news right now!
Wu Qiang smiled slightly. Although Li Zhenhui had been pretending to be nice to him before, he had never been so respectful. Now that his strength had been greatly reduced, he indeed became much more polite.
"General Li, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?" Wu Qiang looked at Li Zhenhui and said with a smile. His face was full of contempt, and the respect he should have had disappeared, as if he was looking at an animal.
Li Zhenhui was a little annoyed, then he forced a smile and said, "Then let's hear the good news first." At the same time, he thought to himself, how bad can the bad news be?
"The good news is that the cyborg project has made tremendous progress. The combat effectiveness of the latest type of cyborgs has leapt forward again. At the same time, greater achievements have been made in mechanical and biological transformation. We can now mass-produce mechanical and biological cyborgs based on logs." Wu Qiang said with a smile.
"Okay, great! Mr. Wu, no matter what you need, I will support you. Just ask the military for anything you want, personnel, equipment, supplies, everything is available!" Li Zhenhui suddenly opened his eyes wide and said excitedly. What he was most worried about was his lack of strength, and if Wu Qiang could mass-produce enhanced soldiers, his strength would certainly be guaranteed again.
He was very clear about the combat effectiveness of those cyborg soldiers. The 200,000 elite soldiers sent out this time plus 2,000 cyborgs, the 200,000 soldiers were basically wiped out, and although all the 2,000 cyborgs were injured, nearly half of them survived! This shows the strong combat effectiveness of these cyborgs.
"So, what's the bad news?" Li Zhenhui asked again after calming down a little.
"The bad news is..." Wu Qiang smiled and said, "The person in charge of the Haijing government is no longer you."
"If it's not me, then who is it?" Li Zhenhui frowned, and he understood something. He reached out and pressed the pistol on his waist. If Wu Qiang said something unpleasant, he would shoot him! Li Zhenhui now was like a starving lion, desperately protecting his already limited food. Moreover, he had already noticed Wu Qiang's mentality.
"Haha, of course it's me." Wu Qiang said with a grin, then he took out a small remote control from his pocket and said to Li Zhenhui: "General Li, an electromagnetic bomb has been implanted in your brain. If you press the button, it will explode, so I hope you will be obedient in the future."
Unexpectedly, Li Zhenhui smiled, then suddenly his face turned ferocious. He took out a metal piece the size of a fingernail, shook it at Wu Qiang, and said, "Is this what you are talking about? Unfortunately, my personal doctor took it out the day after you implanted it." Then Li Zhenhui pulled out his pistol and pointed it at Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang suddenly laughed: "General Li, I didn't expect that you have been on guard against me for a long time. In fact, this is just a joke. The real meal..." At this point, his expression suddenly became ferocious: "...This is it!" Then he pressed a red button on the remote control.
Immediately, a roar like a snake spitting out its tongue came from Li Zhenhui's throat and he was speechless . His hands also began to tremble and the gun actually fell to the ground.
Under Li Zhenhui's horrified gaze, white filaments thinner than a hair emerged from his skin all over his body and swayed outside his body like jellyfish tentacles!
