Chapter 1501 Three Days

The next day.

Ju Tianrui led the team to set off with Lao Bi and others, but they were going to different places.

One was to Xishi, and the other was to Xianyang.

Xishi was the place where their city lord agreed to negotiate with the Northwest boss. Ju Tianrui went there in advance to investigate the situation and find out if there was an ambush there.

Nine helicopters fully loaded with combat personnel set off from the Oil City.

Five of the nine helicopters were armed helicopters, equipped with weapons including rockets, aircraft cannons and machine guns.

There were a total of 40 helicopters in the Dazhangshu base, half of which were transport aircraft and half were armed helicopters. These armed helicopters were of different models, including light armed helicopters and medium armed helicopters, most of which were Wuzhi 10.

The weapons equipped were:

Rockets: 70mm uncontrolled rockets, used for precise strikes on the ground.

Aircraft cannons: 23mm aviation shells, used for close-range air defense and self-defense.

In addition, the Z-10 is also equipped with APKWS II guided rockets, which greatly improves the precision strike firepower density of the armed helicopter. The configuration of these weapons enables the Z-10 to be invincible at low altitudes, razing all ground armored targets and solid fortifications to the ground, becoming a veritable "Thunderbolt".

The combat power of the armed helicopter is fierce, and it is called the nemesis of the king of land warfare. The king of land warfare generally refers to tanks, and its nemesis is the armed helicopter.

The reason why it is given such a nickname.

Because the main combat mission of the armed helicopter is anti-tank and support ground combat!

All its designs are based on combat missions and are aimed at the weaknesses of tanks.

Let me give you a few examples:

Tanks run on the ground, and armed helicopters fly in the sky!

The speed of the tank is 60 kilometers per hour, and the speed of the armed helicopter is hundreds of kilometers per hour!

The front of the tank is reinforced, and the armed helicopter specifically hits your top cover and the weak points of the armor!

Nine helicopters, including four armed helicopters, were taken by Ju Tianrui to Xishi to investigate the situation.

The other five helicopters, including one helicopter, were taken by Lao Bi to Xianshi as a scout.

It is only more than 600 kilometers from Xinyang to Xishi, and it only takes more than two hours for an armed helicopter to fly there.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ju Tianrui arrived above the edge of Xishi.

Xishi covers a large area, and they only have thirty people. If they want to go down, the efficiency of ground search is extremely low and very dangerous.

It is better to fly in the air to investigate the situation.

Ju Tianrui thought for a long time and still chose not to land on the ground. If they landed on the ground and searched separately, all the advantages of the helicopter would be wasted.

After the fuel tank of the armed helicopter they were riding was modified, the cruising range was greatly increased to 2,000 kilometers, which was enough for them to fly over Xishi for two and a half hours and then return to the oil city without having to stay in Xishi.

After making up his mind, Ju Tianrui picked up the intercom and contacted the pilot of another helicopter.

"Huachen, I'll go east and you go west. I'll take helicopters 3 and 6, and you'll take helicopters 7 and 13. First explore the surrounding highlands. Remember not to fly at low altitudes. Once you find someone from the boss's side, don't attack and return immediately and contact me."

"Received, helicopter 13, follow me." Huachen replied immediately after receiving the message.

At the same time, he controlled the helicopter to fly west of Xishi.

Ju Tianrui sat in the co-pilot seat and asked the pilot to control the helicopter to fly east.

There are very few high-rise buildings in the center of Xishi. Since this is the ancient capital of the Sixteen Dynasties, there are many ancient tombs underground, so most of the houses in the center are low-rise.

Even if the helicopter is at an altitude of two thousand meters, it can clearly see the situation below.

They are mainly here to see if there are any large troops in the northwest. If it is just a scattered small team, the threat is not great.

The two small teams flew east and west for two and a half hours and did not find any large troops. They originally wanted to continue searching north and south, but they ran out of fuel.

They had no choice but to return to the oil city.

On the other side.

Lao Bi arrived at Xianyang Airport with four transport planes and an armed helicopter.

Xianyang Airport.

Only the wreckage of seven or eight medium-sized passenger planes remained, and the fuselages were black, as if they had been burned.

On the empty takeoff runway, there were clumps of weeds.

The iron sheets on the ground rubbed against the concrete floor under the wind, making a crackling sound.

The huge airport hall was empty.

The sun shone into the hall through the broken glass.

The helicopter landed on an open space a hundred meters away from the airport hall.

Lao Bi got off the helicopter and picked up the intercom to contact everyone:

"Teams 1 and 2, occupy the four towers around."

"Teams 3 and 4, clean up the zombies in the airport."

"Team 5, keep an eye on our helicopter."

"Yes."

"Received."

"Received."

The main function of the airport tower is to be responsible for ground and air traffic control at the airport, including commanding the takeoff, landing and ground movement of aircraft, ensuring that they operate in accordance with prescribed procedures and intervals, and handling various emergencies.

Moreover, the tower is generally the tallest building in the airport, with an excellent view.

Occupying the four towers around basically occupies the commanding heights of Xianyang Airport.

There are still four days before the meeting.

Six vehicles came from the northwest that day, including two infantry transport vehicles, two armored vehicles, a tanker, and a heavy truck.

The leader, Fu Konggu, was the first person Ma Laoliu had met.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Ma Laoliu could not help but ask his own doubts.

"Captain Fu, where are you going?"

"West Market." Fu Konggu glanced at Ma Laoliu and continued:

"Ma Laoliu, the boss asked me to tell you a task, follow us to West Market."

Ma Laoliu was confused, what was he going to do?

"No, what are you going to do in West Market?" Ma Laoliu asked.

Fu Konggu persuaded earnestly:

"The boss has agreed with the leader of Oil City that he will meet with the leader of Oil City in Xishi in four days."

"It is too far and inconvenient to send a large force from the northwest. You are not far from Xishi. You can arrange it today, count the manpower and prepare the convoy, and set off with us tomorrow."

Ma Laoliu was reluctant, "It's useless for me to go, and it's not close. Who will reimburse the fuel for hundreds of kilometers?"

Fu Konggu said sternly: "We will naturally give you fuel later. If we didn't support you with so much ammunition before, could you hold on until now? Can you survive until now?"

Ma Laoliu lowered his head and curled his lips, looking unhappy.

Although the boss gave him a lot of ammunition, the boss also asked him to do a lot of things.

He spent a lot of manpower here to guard the passage to the northwest, so that most of the zombies coming from the east could not enter the hinterland of the northwest.

"Did you hear that? If you don't want to, you can contact the boss in person and tell him." Fu Konggu said impatiently when he saw Ma Laoliu keeping his head down and not talking.

"Okay, can't I go? Can't I send someone over?" Ma Laoliu said reluctantly.

He felt that something would go wrong on this trip.

"You're not going?"

Fu Konggu looked at Ma Laoliu in disbelief, "Ma Laoliu gave you face, right? The boss will be there in two days, and you won't go? Are you kidding?"

"Go, go, I'll go." Now that he had said that, he had no choice but to go.

Night.

Ma Laoliu looked to the east, his brain working fast.

Now the situation was getting more and more complicated, and he felt that he was completely involved.

He didn't know if Jin Kui and the others had arrived in the oil city.

But would the boss really go?

Why did it feel a little bit unlike the boss's style this time? The boss would never put himself in a dangerous situation.

This time, he was abnormally willing to run out to meet the leader of the Oil City.

Strange.

He couldn't understand, and couldn't figure it out.

September 12.

There were still three days before the meeting.

After Ju Tianrui got nothing in the West City yesterday, he immediately returned to the Oil City.

At eight o'clock this morning, he flew out again in a helicopter full of fuel.

There was nothing much in the Oil City, but there was a lot of fuel.

Especially now that there are zombie generators, the electricity in the Oil City and the trading market basically relies on the electricity produced by the zombie generators.

No longer consuming fuel to generate electricity, this saves more fuel.

A main road five kilometers away from the trading market.

There were several scattered teams of survivors walking forward.

From time to time, vehicles loaded with construction materials whizzed by.

Among them.

There was a small team with ragged bodies, which was not noticeable at all.

There were 9 people in total, carrying large and small packages on their backs, and they looked no different from ordinary survivor teams.

The man in the front wearing a worn-out baseball cap looked around from time to time.

Behind him, there was a tall and thin man who came up to him and whispered:

"Captain Hong, we should be not far from the trading market now. Should we find a place to hide the radio and guns?"

The man in the baseball cap heard the words, looked at the cars that were going away, lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:

"Okay, find a nearby forest to hide the things."

"Tell everyone behind to walk slowly."

There are three or four teams on this road. If they run into the forest rashly now, they will definitely attract the attention of people from other teams.

But if they walk to the back and don't walk so close to other teams, it will be even less likely to be discovered.

After the news was passed on, the speed of the team members behind them gradually slowed down.

Until they walked to the end of this road, more than ten minutes later, there was no one behind or in front.

The man with the baseball cap shouted to the people behind him in a low voice:

"Go."

After that, he quickly ran towards the forest in the east.

The team members behind him hurriedly followed him.

After crossing two mountains, they finally stopped in a mangrove forest.

Hong Gongcao panted heavily, "Damn it, we should have driven the car here yesterday. It took so much effort to walk such a long way."

The thin tall man sat under a tree and looked at Hong Gongcao and said:

"Captain Hong, the boss told us that we must not be discovered on this trip. The most important thing is to keep it stable."

Hong Gongcao pointed at the thin tall man, his face full of complaints:

"Old Gao, you really, is it necessary to do this? You made us hungry on the way here these few days. I have lost at least 6 or 7 pounds."

The thin tall man said helplessly:

"This is also to look more reasonable. How can ordinary survivors be so strong? If it weren't for lack of time, I think we could have been hungry for a few more days. It would be best to have the feeling of being so hungry that we can't walk." "

Hong Gongcao waved his hand, "Okay, okay, before I leave, the boss asked me to listen to you more. If you suggest that I get out of the car and walk dozens of miles over, I will walk over. I also listen to you every day these days. Eat a cookie. What else?"

The tall and thin man climbed up with his hands on the ground and his right hand on the tree trunk.

"Everything we have on us that might be suspected must be taken out now: emergency medical kits, walkie-talkies, radios, weapons, food."

In the woods, there was a rather burly man who was unhappy when he heard this. He got up from the ground and complained:

"TMD! We have to hand over the food? Then what will we eat after entering that trading market?"

"Gao Mazi, I've been putting up with you for a long time. Do you know how these brothers have come here these days! I eat one or two biscuits every day. I walked all day yesterday and I was sweating all over. I’m so tired that it’s hard to survive just by eating one or two biscuits. Do you still want everyone to enter the trading market and starve to death?”

As he said that, he was about to walk over and pinch the tall and thin man's neck.

Hong Gongcao quickly went over and stopped the burly man.

"Da Zhuang, don't be impulsive. Lao Gao is the person appointed by the boss to guide the team. Even I have to listen to him. Everything is focused on completing the task. Think about Xiaomei. If you complete the task, go back and get promoted. Xiaomei also needs to take a high look at you, right?"

Da Zhuang didn't take it seriously when he heard it, but when he heard the word "Xiao Mei", he stopped immediately.

Looking at Lao Gao, he snorted coldly, "Eating one biscuit a day is already miserable. If I don't have anything to eat for a day, I can't resist it."

The tall and thin man thought carefully and then said:

"Okay, it's a little strange to go in without food, but we can't just bring food in. Our compressed biscuits are all military rations. It can be seen at a glance that they are individual combat rations. They are easy to be found. They must be unpacked. Everyone Carry them separately.”

"As for the cans, don't bring them!"

After hearing this, Hong Gongcao said to everyone:

"You heard it, just do what Lao Gao said!"

Everyone opened the package one after another, taking out the items mentioned by the tall and thin man one by one and placing them in the middle.

Gao Zhao checked everyone's packages one by one and would take out one or two items from the package from time to time.

"No, this is a kettle. Do I need to take this thing out?" A team member said unhappily as he looked at the kettle that was taken away.

Gao Zhao picked up the kettle and said to everyone: "This is used by the army. As ordinary survivors, where can we get this kind of military kettle?"

"No, this kind of kettle is not only found in the army. Before the end of the world, many places used this kind of kettle."

"You're too new."

"Is there something wrong with Shinya?"

"Yes, it's well preserved."

"I"

"Okay, listen to Lao Gao!" Hong Gongcao came over, glared at the team member, and walked to Lao Gao with a smile.

"Lao Gao, let's see if there are any other problems. If there is no problem, let's find a place to bury these things?"

"No more for now, that's it. In addition, please tell everyone the details you need to pay attention to."

Hong Gongcao nodded, looked at everyone and said:

"Listen up, brothers. Be careful when you enter the trading market. Don't forget what I told you before. I'll repeat it again: We used to work in a mold factory."
