Under the darkness, countless zombies appeared in Zhang Xiaoqiang's line of sight. Although the zombies appeared, Zhang Xiaoqiang was not too worried. The zombies were still 10km away, and if they wanted to run over, it would take at least 2 hours. The only thing they had to be wary of was the Flea Zombies, as long as they boarded the ship, none of the zombies would be a threat to them.
"That's what the base said?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang held the binoculars, with one foot on the sandbag fortification and the other on the ground. He leaned forward slightly, as though he was observing the zombies in the sea of zombies. Huang Quan stood beside him, similarly holding the binoculars. Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's question, Huang Quan slowly lowered the binoculars, and smiled bitterly to Zhang Xiaoqiang: "The base said that the second batch of people was sent over was multiple times the first batch. They are so busy that they don't know north, and the fleet has already lost contact with them. They also can't find where the fleet is …."
Zhang Xiaoqiang sighed, and lowered the binoculars in his hands. Although he did not know what happened to the fleet, but Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that it was definitely not something good.
If the fleet appeared in time, they would not have to waste a large amount of ammunition, and lose a large number of soldiers. After blocking the zombies for a day and night, they would have long been on their way home.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, could it be that something happened to the base?"
Huang Quan suddenly thought about it, there was quite a bit of trouble in the base, and Three was punished. Zhang Xiaoqiang had already started to treat Three coldly, and promote himself. Although Lu Xiao Bu was monitoring the base, what if Lu Xiao Bu and Old Frank could not suppress it?
"Impossible, I'm still alive, what can happen to me?
I have a few thousand men in my hands, and even without the army, I'm alone, do you think they would dare to do anything to me? "
Huang Quan's worries were not within Zhang Xiaoqiang's considerations, he was not worried about the base. The base was built by him with his bare hands, and most of the armed forces were recruited by him. Most of the people had gone through thick and thin with him, and they knew what Zhang Xiaoqiang was capable of.
Looking at the unworried Zhang Xiaoqiang, Huang Quan could only suppress his suspicions, and speculate that if the fleet from the base did not arrive after crossing the river, the majority of the troops would have to prepare to set off again. Perhaps they would be able to temporarily settle some people by the lake, but the rest would have to be transported by of the land.
The two of them had different thoughts, but they were both thinking about the future. Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to first bring the people back, and develop the missile base, turning the mountain area into a superfortress, and give them an absolutely safe base. Huang Quan, on the other hand, was thinking about how to open up the highway and rush back as fast as possible.
When the zombies were about 3km away, 80% of the equipment and personnel had already crossed the river, leaving only Zhang Xiaoqiang and Lu Dun, along with a few dozen vehicles and 500 soldiers. The other side of the river had already released all the pontoons, and the ferry had regained its speed and was heading over.
The zombies stepped into the empty pier that was littered with rubbish, and the ferry carrying Zhang Xiaoqiang had already started moving towards the river. Zhang Xiaoqiang stood on the roof of the large vehicle, looking at the zombies blocking the river with satisfaction. Seeing the zombies struggling in the river, Zhang Xiaoqiang was filled with joy. Everything had ended, they had finally escaped from danger, and the Z2 zombies had been completely shaken off.
Standing at the front of the vehicle, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at the sea of zombies drowning the pier, and his heart was filled with emotions. In the vehicle opposite him, Meow was carrying her small bag, with a Type-95 Assault Rifle hanging by the side, and a Type-92 Pistol and the military knife that Zhang Xiaoqiang had given her on her waist. She was also carrying her Beast Horn Spear. It was obvious that she had brought all her belongings with her.
Looking at the fully armed Meow, Zhang Xiaoqiang could not help but laugh. Meow was an Agility-based Evolver, and guns were not of much use to her. He really did not know why she was carrying them.
Speaking of guns, Zhang Xiaoqiang was a little depressed. Out of the 12,000 rifles in the armory, there were less than 3,000 left. The rest were all damaged, and the lack of guns gave him a headache.
The base had 500 Garand Rifles, 3,000 Type-56 Rifles and Submachine Guns, close to 300 Type-81 Rifles, and 450 Type-95 Rifles. The lack of guns was huge, and although there were more than 10,000 Type-53 Rifles, the maintenance of these rifles was not as good as the Type-63 Rifles, causing Zhang Xiaoqiang to feel helpless.
Sighing, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt uneasy. He suddenly looked up, only to see a thick layer of clouds covering the sky, and nothing could be seen. After looking for a few seconds, Zhang Xiaoqiang put down the doubts in his heart, and looked at the river. It was not the sky, could it be that there was danger on the river?
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes, he saw that about two kilometers away, there was a small boat approaching them from the riverside.
There were many damaged boats by the riverside, and this small boat was mixed among them, making it difficult to be discovered. This small boat of unknown origin attracted Zhang Xiaoqiang's attention. Although he was not sure if it was an enemy, it definitely did not have good intentions.
Zhang Xiaoqiang jumped down from the car, found his backpack, and climbed onto the roof of the car. He picked up the walkie-talkie, and called out to the other side:
"Zhao Deyi, Zhao Deyi, I received a reply, I received a reply …"
Not long after, a speedboat rushed towards the small boat from the steamboat. When the speedboat was still a few hundred meters away, the small boat suddenly turned around, and the speedboat relentlessly chased after it. Halfway through the chase, a long tongue of flame shot out from the small boat, and smashed the side of the speedboat into pieces.
Zhang Xiaoqiang heard the sound of the heavy machine gun firing from the small boat, and his face immediately turned gloomy. That was the sound of a Type-53 HMG, and other than the one in his hands, only the hot springs base had a Type-53 HMG.
The speedboat also started firing, and countless bullets sprayed onto the small boat. The exchange of fire did not affect the speed of the two boats, and at this time, the second speedboat also started moving, and pounced towards the small boat.
The battle on the river attracted everyone's attention. Zhang Xiaoqiang used his binoculars to look at both sides of the battle. There were not many people on the small boat, only seven or eight people. Two of them were operating heavy machine guns, and the others were holding Type-56 HMG. Seeing that the small boat was about to be caught, a person suddenly came out from the cabin of the small boat with his head lowered.
As soon as the person appeared, Zhang Xiaoqiang's pupils constricted, the person was holding a rocket launcher in his hand.
Zhang Xiaoqiang grabbed the walkie-talkie and was about to shout, but he heard a sharp whistle coming from above him. He looked up and saw a black shadow descending from above like lightning. Although the shadow was fast, Zhang Xiaoqiang saw through it with a glance. The black shadow was the Great Blackbird that had disappeared for a long time. He originally thought that the Great Blackbird had died in some corner, but he did not expect it to appear at the last moment.
The Great Blackbird's target was Zhang Xiaoqiang. In its memory, the place where the man appeared would always be the place where its children and wife died. The blood feud between it and Zhang Xiaoqiang was endless.
The Great Blackbird had always been spying on Zhang Xiaoqiang, and after suffering from the heavy machine guns time and time again, the Great Blackbird gave up on harassing him. It was like an assassin that was ready to kill at any time, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was its biggest target. It was previously hiding in the clouds, and now was its best chance.
