Apocalypse: Hero of Potato Fields-Chapter 352 - 344 Entering the Island City_2
As for biological material, they broke through the barrier of one hundred million units long ago.
After breakfast.
Lin Yi and the cleanup team set off for the Moving Island.
The Giant Dragon covered them from the air, the army awaited sternly at the mountain pass, defending the line just as they did on the first day of battle.
At the edge of the island, there was a small wall ten meters high, behind which lay an endless field.
This wall was almost gone.
The zombies really went all out.
The soil was infected, making the grass look as if it was drenched in oil.
Even a blind person could tell that the concentration of the zombie virus here was many times higher than the previous Moving Island.
The once lush and towering trees had now turned into rotting black stumps.
Most of their branches had decayed and fallen.
The smell here was unpleasant... but at least they didn’t need to wear gas masks.
However, all their armor was equipped with air filtration systems, which everyone had on.
In the middle of the former Ark, there was a large city.
Its architectural style was between the Medieval and Industrial Revolution periods, featuring tall multi-story stone apartment buildings and some high stone towers.
These stone towers could possibly be residential buildings.
The wide stone roads in the city were scattered with fountains, which were clearly no longer functional.
In the center of the city was a lake. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
At the heart of the lake was a small castle.
This city was surrounded by a low and thick wall.
This wall was about 25 meters high and 6 meters thick.
There were many bastions on the wall, where they could see the rotting remnants of siege weapons and a few cannons.
These cannons were primitive, but at least they were still cannons!
They were corroded beyond repair, serving no other purpose than as a material resource.
The team did not plan to enter the city.
Cavalry is unsuitable for combat in city environments; the likelihood of encountering ambushes is very high, and they could easily be surrounded, which undoubtedly means death.
Da Chuan was ordered to scout the city from the air while Mira continued flying forward.
Drones also patrolled the area.
If it appeared safe enough, the quadcopter pilots would take security personnel there for a closer examination of the city and its buildings.
"Team Twelve reporting, we’ve been ambushed... It won’t take more than a minute or two to eliminate the remaining zombies, then we’ll continue scouting the area."
A group of zombies and several mutant creatures had been hiding in a pit and suddenly jumped out to attack the scouts.
However... stopping a charging Rhino Bug is not easy.
A group of ordinary level 3 zombies were knocked away like bowling pins, then the soldier sitting behind the rider killed them all with his laser rifle.
The Rhino Bug had "psychic communication" skills, so the rider didn’t need much direct control over it.
As predicted, all enemies were eliminated in about a minute. The soldiers quickly picked up Coin and rewards, and continued forward.
"Lin Yi received reports from many reconnaissance teams, encountering multiple pits harboring enemies.
Almost the entire Ark was occupied by valleys and sparse trees, with almost no place to hide.
Therefore, the zombies dug a series of pits, now using them to ambush their enemies.
They even covered the pits with soil, making them invisible from the air.
The Zombie General was too cunning, and it would take a considerable amount of time to scout the entire area...
These ambushes weren’t large in scale and couldn’t inflict too much damage, but he knew that before the Shelter soldiers advanced, they had to clear out all these ambushes.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided to dispatch the motorcycle team.
The "Apocalypse Steed" motorcycles could transform into power armor, greatly enhancing the warriors’ mobility and firepower.
If these men cooperated in pairs, they would become a highly destructive and still highly mobile force.
The Shelter had thirty motorcycles seized from the Horu people, each valued at 70,000 Coin.
The soldiers riding the "Apocalypse Steed" rechecked all already scouted areas to ensure no zombies could attack them from behind.
They discovered many pits, each containing two to five mutant creatures and ten to twenty zombies.
The Zombie General underestimated the humans.
His ambushes slowed down the army’s pace but had little impact.
"Silver Dragon has found another ambush," Beast Tamer Sila reported after seeing lightning flash ahead.
"She’s grabbed all the experience points again," Lin Yi, sitting behind her, replied.
They were riding a level 3 horse, the one that had become the herd leader.
"You’re too greedy, Boss!"
"She’s already hoarded a bunch of rewards she doesn’t even use, hiding them in her little nest..."
"Have you been monitoring her, Boss?!"
"I just keep track of what’s happening."
While speaking, Lin Yi carefully scanned the surroundings.
They were already close to the main area of the Moving Island, so they had to stay vigilant.
Who knows when the next mutant creature, or even a group of them, would suddenly jump out from some underground hole?
"Are you saying... you can see everything? Like... all things, all events?!"
The 35-year-old woman asked, her mind spinning with all sorts of wild thoughts.
"If I want to see."
"Even... can you see someone showering?"
"Listen..." Lin Yi sighed wearily, making eye contact with the curious Czech woman.
