Following Gao Feng's request, Huang Tingwei personally flew down the Yangtze River with the helicopter squadron's vice-captain, Pavel. One of Huang Tingwei's few hobbies was admiring the scenery from the plane. The dark green river water was exceptionally moving. Even though he had come from Wuhan, he had seen such scenery many times, but he could never get enough of it. Looking at the dark green river water and the dense jungle on both sides, Huang Tingwei couldn't help but think of the endless black sea of zombies on the other side of the river. As Zhang Xiaoqiang's intelligence officer, Huang Tingwei's heart was exceptionally heavy. In the end, the zombies were their biggest enemy. The endless sea of zombies reminded him of the battle for Wuhan. The raging waves of zombies still made some soldiers and officers tremble in fear.
Suddenly, Pavel's voice woke Huang Tingwei from his thoughts.
"Hey, it's really lively up ahead. There are even such huge things. Luckily our base is safe behind. If we encountered these guys, we wouldn't even have a place to stay …"
Pavel's Chinese wasn't very good. Every time he spoke, it sounded like he was holding a carrot in his mouth. If Huang Tingwei hadn't known Pavel for a long time, he would have had a hard time listening to him. Hearing Pavel's words, Huang Tingwei turned his head and looked through the window. He could see the tragic state of Shanghai, especially the coastal areas. Countless tall buildings were slowly collapsing under the impact of twenty over ten-meter-tall beasts. Large amounts of dust swept across the edge of the Oriental Pearl Tower like a sandstorm. Countless strange creatures were shuttling through the collapsing ruins. As far as the eye could see, there were more than ten different species. Each type of mutated creature numbered in the tens of thousands, and the smallest ones numbered in the hundreds to thousands. The least were the beasts that could smash through buildings. Then he saw the other side of the Yangtze River. On the other side of the Yangtze River was the Jiangbei region. Countless mutated beasts were traversing the vast land, and from time to time, they would hunt down and devour the zombies that were hiding in the dark.
The area on both sides of the Yangtze River near the estuary was filled with these mutated beasts. It was hard to tell how many of them there were. Not to mention, there were countless large and slender shadows flashing through the dark green waters of the river. After flying for some distance, he saw that the Shazhou Island at the estuary of the Yangtze River was completely occupied by these marine mutated beasts. Further out in the sea, there was a huge mutated beast more than a few hundred meters tall struggling in the diving zone. The helicopter was already a hundred meters in altitude, but compared to the monster, it was actually less than a third of the monster's lower abdomen. This monster was like an ancient beast, letting out a long and loud roar in the water. It was just a distant shadow, but it was enough to scare Pavel and Huang Tingwei who were thousands of meters away.
"Captain, I don't think it's safe to go any further. That thing might have a long-range attack. Every helicopter is precious, for …"
"Shut up …"
Huang Tingwei shouted, interrupting Pavel's guilty suggestion. He raised the camera in his hand and recorded everything outside through the window. Pavel hovered in the air, refusing to take another step forward. Suddenly, he saw the barricade in the distance. Without asking for permission, he flew the helicopter over the heads of countless mutated beasts. Huang Tingwei did not insist on going over to see what was going on. The camera had already recorded the giant beast. His priority was to investigate, not to kill.
The helicopter caused a commotion among the raging mutant beasts below. Countless mutant beasts stared at the helicopter above their heads. From time to time, some of the mutant beasts with extraordinary leaping ability would leap up from the still-standing buildings and pounce on the helicopter. The stealth helicopter of the New Era was originally meant for military use. Its outer shell was also made of the best materials. Even if the jumping mutant beasts were faster than bullets, they could not penetrate the helicopter's armor. Pavel's skills were even more impressive. After a series of clanking sounds, all the small mutant beetles that hit the helicopter fell to the ruins on the ground.
Although these mutant multi-legged beetles did not cause much damage to the helicopter, Pavel still cautiously pulled the helicopter up and flew over the heads of more than a dozen giant beasts. Suddenly, all the giant beasts' narrow eyes were fixed on the helicopter. Many of the giant beasts that looked like cloth bags burst like balloons. Pavel's eyes were fixed on the dense crowd in front of the barricade. Suddenly, Huang Tingwei shouted, "Hurry … Speed up …"
In Huang Tingwei's camera, the changes of the beasts could be seen clearly. The 8 eyes on their strange heads stared at the plane they were on. Even if Huang Tingwei wasn't a zoologist, he knew that they had been targeted by these beasts. No matter what, these beasts were still Mutant Beasts. Huang Tingwei had followed Zhang Xiao Qiang to deal with the Giant Black Fish before, and knew that these Mutant Beasts had strange tricks up their sleeves. It was not something humans could predict.
After following Zhang Xiao Qiang for so long, Pavel had gained a wealth of combat experience, not to mention the fact that they were on a dangerous battlefield. Without hesitation, he turned the rudder and ignited the accelerator nozzles, accelerating the helicopter in an instant. Then, the ground suddenly shook, and countless concrete fragments and construction debris leaped into the air in a ring. The behemoths disappeared from the ground. Huang Tingwei's eyes were glued to the screen in front of him, showing the footage captured by the helicopter's rear camera.
In addition to the helicopter flying in the sky, there were also more than ten sacks with small heads. The giant beasts on the ground became inconspicuous black spots after jumping hundreds of meters into the air. Of course, this was what the evolvers saw. In Huang Tingwei's eyes, it was a group of elephants flying in the sky. It was as strange as it could get. Suddenly, the image of the beasts disappeared from the display and changed to a sky filled with black smoke. When Huang Tingwei looked up, he saw that the helicopter had turned around to face the giant beasts that were falling hundreds of meters from the sky. The jumping ability of these giant beasts was quite amazing, but the helicopter was not a tall building that could not be moved. After the beasts missed, they began to fall. In Huang Tingwei's eyes, the beasts fell into the ruins of the street, smashing into the dust and debris.
Pavel did not know whether the beasts were injured or not. Seeing all the beasts struggling in the ruins, he quickly turned the helicopter and prepared to fly away. Unexpectedly, a white wave suddenly appeared in the sky, like a water spout from a high-altitude faucet, smashing into the helicopter. It was the giant beast that scared him earlier. It was spitting water at the helicopter. Who knew how much water it had in its stomach?
Pavel had been focusing all his attention on the beast behind him and was caught off guard by the giant beast hiding behind him. The helicopter was hit head-on and rolled like a toy under the impact of the water spout. The alarm lights in the cabin flashed at the same time, and the noise of the sirens made the two of them dizzy. The weightlessness caused by the spinning of the helicopter also made the two of them panic.
Pavel was cursing loudly in the front, using the most vicious Russian rhetoric. His expression was unprecedentedly serious. His hands flew back and forth on the control panel. Finally, the helicopter came to a stop and the water spout stopped. The water spout also stopped and the dust below was extinguished by the splash of water.
"Go back quickly …"
Huang Tingwei immediately ordered Pavel to retreat. Their first goal was to send back the information. The thrilling experience just now had made him so nervous that even his voice was out of tune. Pavel could not understand what he was saying. The Russian pilot was still cursing loudly, his serious face flashing with madness. Gritting his teeth, he turned the helicopter around and charged towards the giant beast below. Just as the giant beast's body was within the scope of the triangulation, two rockets left a trail of flames behind them and exploded on the giant beast's round body. Amidst the raging flames, large chunks of flesh were torn to shreds. The giant beast suffered unprecedented damage. It opened its mouth and wanted to howl in pain, but it was caught by the triangulation. Then, the helicopter flew over the beast's head and a rocket crashed into the giant beast's mouth, blowing its huge head off …
The monster that had lost its head spewed green blood all over the place. Its strangely shaped body was like a roly-poly doll that stood between the ruins of the tall building. The man who was standing on the wall saw the monster's head explode, and his seductive eyes were filled with a crazed passion. He dashed out of the platform and landed on the barricade that was pierced by countless spears. The moment he was covered by the shadows, he disappeared from everyone's sight ….
