Chapter 1510 - 867:
"Captain, we’re now in Lu Zhou. If we keep flying east, we’ll soon reach the territory of Jinling," said Ant while looking at the fallen road signs, speaking to Third Uncle.Third Uncle raised his eyebrows and said, "I need to get a clear understanding to feel secure. I’ll talk to Xiao Yu about the situation here."
After speaking, he boarded the helicopter and explained his situation to Li Yu.
Li Yu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. He didn’t expect Third Uncle and the others could track to Jinling. Since they’re about to reach Jinling, it can basically be determined which Southern Paradise it is.
Given his understanding of Southern Paradise, at least for Third Uncle, who is piloting a helicopter, there shouldn’t be any major danger.
However, Li Yu still advised Third Uncle and the others to be cautious, not to get too close, and to avoid exposure for the time being.
Third Uncle expressed his understanding and reassured Li Yu not to worry.
Far away at the Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu felt somewhat excited.
In the previous life, he could only briefly join Southern Paradise as the lowest-ranking personnel, but now he possesses a formidable power. He no longer needs to humbly bow to survive or scramble among the crowd to flee in panic when the Zombie Tide arrives.
....
Meanwhile.
Third Uncle put down the military radio, then said to Jackals, "Jackals, let’s go, continue!"
Buzzing——
The helicopter roared as it continued flying eastward.
Maintaining an altitude of one thousand meters, the aircraft was very stable.
Jinling Jiangnan, its history is long and extensive.
Soon, they arrived at Jinling.
Looking down from the sky, the ground was full of devastation.
Networks of water stretched across.
The skyscrapers had been reduced to basic frameworks; some had half collapsed, seemingly on the verge of falling.
Apart from the skyscrapers, the remaining houses were mostly ruins, hardly a single intact building could be seen.
The ground was indistinguishable from its original road patterns, covered with mud and dust.
Under the sunlight, this area was filled with the scent of death.
Suddenly, Xiao Jun pointed to a distant place and said to the people behind, "Look there, those are the few cars!"
Third Uncle immediately sat up straight, focusing his gaze towards the direction Xiao Jun pointed.
Indeed, ten or so kilometers away, seven or eight cars were speeding along, though the roads were not easy to navigate, resulting in severe bumping of the vehicles.
Remembering Li Yu’s instructions, Third Uncle then told Jackals, "Jackals, the helicopter should rise to three thousand meters."
"Alright." Jackals promptly responded and operated accordingly.
Everyone in the helicopter held tightly onto their handholds, enduring the pressure of elevation.
Quickly, after climbing to three thousand meters, the cars below were still visible but were as small as ants.
Third Uncle picked up the military telescope, adjusting it to the highest magnification, and gazed in that direction.
The helicopter continued following.
Soon.
Through the telescope, Third Uncle and the others saw a gigantic city wall appear below.
Ming City Wall!
With a width of 4 to 5 meters and a height of 14 meters, it still stood tall after hundreds of years.
"Wow! So many people!" Xiao Jun, holding the telescope, inhaled sharply upon seeing the scene outside the city wall below.
Outside the wall, densely packed makeshift shelters and houses piled from wooden blocks and stones were scarcely able to shield against rainfall; even when it rains hard, water could seep through.
The number of people was huge; almost all the wooden shelters were leaning outside the city wall.
These people could be vaguely seen constructing shelters among them.
Their clothes were tattered, their faces gaunt, wandering like Walking Dead.
Beyond the city wall, the terrain was uneven, stepping down splashes mud everywhere.
Inside and outside the shelters, several corpses lay idly on the ground, ignored by passersby, as if unseen.
A few wild dogs ran past to gnaw at the corpses.
Immediately, they were caught by several people with nooses around their necks.
Pots were set on-site; fires were kindled to roast the dog meat, attracting swarms of people to seize it.
A mere pot of dog meat sparked a massive brawl among hundreds of people.
Many died, but the Guardians standing atop the city wall seemed indifferent.
No one stopped the brawling, no one stopped the arguments, and no one attended to the dead bodies.
Chaos reigned without order.
....
Under Third Uncle’s watchful eyes, the seven or eight cars parked in front of the city’s gates beneath the wall.
Barriers were set up along the road, with seven or eight people armed, standing guard.
Soon, the city gates opened, and the vehicles drove in thunderously.
Everyone in the helicopter watched in awe.
To be honest, since the Doomsday outbreak, they had never seen so many people or such a massive base, not even in the Western Alliance.
Compared to this unknown force, the Western Alliance was insignificant.
"There must be at least twenty thousand people here, right?" Ant said in astonishment, looking at the scene.
"But it seems there are very few people inside the walls," remarked Old Qin, seated next to Ant.
"What are those people doing? They seem to be fighting?"
"Captain, from my observation, there are heavy machine guns and light machine guns positioned on the wall, with a total of twenty personnel," Ant reported to Third Uncle.
Third Uncle nodded slightly, then quickly took out paper and pen, sketching the layout and defense points below.
Whether it will be necessary is another matter, but it’s best to document it, just in case.
The helicopter circled above for a good while. Then, after ten minutes, Third Uncle said to Jackals, "Let’s leave this place for now."
