Chapter 961: Obliteration (2)!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After they had abandoned the main force of the 15th Battalion, Randy and his team flew swiftly towards the direction of India.
Prior to the apocalypse, India was also a huge country. However, other than their population and nuclear capability, it was a country of a huge wealth divide, serious corruption, lawless rapes, and these were some of the impressions that other people usually have.
After the apocalypse, the Kingdom of God quickly occupied the place and began expansion, gaining their human population, while crushing any rising factions. India had thus become one of their largest bases outside of Europe.
As long as they could return there, Randy could rally some troops and swiftly form another elite Aryan team.
In the sky, amidst the horde of aerial Evolved zombies, there was one with a muscular physique, his features good-looking and his skin a wheat color. He had 2 pairs of extremely evil-looking wings formed out of flesh, and it was apparent that he was one of the intelligent Evolved beings.
His eyes flashed with a glint, and as he turned to gaze at Randy's team fleeing 20km away, he let out a loud and powerful howl.
At that instant, the 70,000 aerial Evolved zombies flapped their wings and changed directions, flying towards Randy's group.
Their speed was insane, easily surpassing what the heavy aircraft were capable of, and soon caught up with them.
Randy shouted frantically, "Increase the altitude!!"
With his shout, the pilots quickly controlled the fleet to soar higher.
The higher the altitude, the colder the temperatures, making it difficult for biological organisms to survive. Flight would definitely be affected.
If these aerial Evolved zombies were to chase after them, they would likely be frozen by the cold temperatures.
Unfortunately, while Randy's order was the right one, it came too late.
By then, the horde of zombies had already swarmed over their fleet.
The Thunder Fighters on either side acting as escorts immediately opened fire, spewing bullets into the horde of zombies.
In a bright burst of light, many of the aerial Evolved zombies were ripped and shredded apart, their blood and flesh splattering throughout the sky.
There were a total of 35 Thunder Fighters and 68 Eurocopters in the fleet. The moment these 100-odd aircraft opened fire, the rain of bullets was enough to slaughter hundreds and thousands of these zombies.
However, the horde continued to surge forward, lunging towards the fleet without fear. After paying the price of almost ten thousands of their numbers, they finally reached the aircraft.
They slammed into the bodies of the aircraft viciously, some charging headlong into the rotating blades, jamming them at the expense of their own bodies.
Shatter!!
Some of the aerial Evolved zombies were flying at high speeds and they slammed into the windshields, shattering them as easily as glass, before pouncing into the cockpits.
The zombies behind also charged forth into the vehicle, tearing into the human soldiers within.
Under such an assault, the various Eurocopters lost control, descending from the skies as they exploded in balls of flames.
The powerful hulls of the Thunder Fighters were barely able to hold off the clashes of the zombies. Those that tried to smash into the windshields became torn apart while leaving only slight cracks. As for those who tried to jam the rotating blades, they were only sliced up helplessly.
When the fleet was being buffeted, many of them quickly crawled into the various Eurocopters through whatever openings they found.
At the same time, while the zombies continued to charge at the rotating blades, even if they got sliced up, there was still damage done. Some of the blades became dented, and the aircrafts started to wobble before descending towards the ground.
More zombies then pounced on those that were dropping, use their sharp claws to tear open holes in the weaker parts of the hull, crawling in.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
As they burrowed in, they would be fired upon by the Aryan soldiers, turning into sieves before their lifeless bodies fell out.
However, before long, one such heavy carrier was ripped apart by the growing number of zombies, and when they swarmed in, the screams of the soldiers soon rang out. The entire helicopter then smashed into the ground and exploded in flames.
More zombies succeeded in tearing up the aircraft carriers and burrowing in, swiftly killing the Aryan soldiers within as the various helicopters started to crash and burst into flames.
Within one of the Thunder Fighters, Randy stared in horror as his fleet was being destroyed all around him, his eyes flashing with a hint of pain as he roared out, "Break through! Break through!!"
Right now, the only ones capable of breaking out of the encirclement were the Thunder Fighters. The rest were too vulnerable to the attacks of the aerial Evolved zombies and were basically doomed.
Since the Thunder Fighters could not protect the rest of the carriers anymore, they rose swiftly into the air. At the same time, their multiple weapons all extended out, before firing wildly into the horde of zombies.
Many of them were torn apart and shredded under the relentless fire.
The Thunder Fighters continued to climb, while their exterior parts were still crawling with zombies.
As the zombies crawled about, they used their sharp claws to slash at the hull, causing multiple scratch marks, chipping off the alloy. However, it was impossible for them to breach the Thunder Fighters within a short time.
The Thunder Fighters were made out of parts after the apocalypse, utilizing advanced technology. Thus, their defenses were terrifying. While the material was so much thinner compared to those used for tanks, their durability was so much stronger. Even a huge cannon round might not be able to penetrate through, thus, it would not be easy for the ordinary zombies to tear through.
Once the Thunder Fighters gave up on protecting the aircraft carriers, the pilots began to focus on maneuvering and controlling the fighters, pushing the damage capabilities to the utmost to tear the zombies into pieces.
At this time, the intelligence Evolved zombie with 2 pairs of wings flapped them and shot over in a bright flash. He appeared in front of a Thunder Fighter and sent out a powerful fist towards the windshield.
Crack!
Following the cracking sounds, the windshield that was capable of blocking even the 14.5mm rounds finally shattered, breaking apart.
"Help!!"
The pilots of that Thunder Fighter were horrified by the scene, and let out screams of despair.
The intelligent zombie grinned savagely before he suddenly disappeared from his location.
At the next instant, the heads of the 2 of them rolled off and dropped to the ground. Another elite soldier further inside was also decapitated.
Soon after, the intelligent Evolved zombie came flying out of the Thunder Fighter, in his claws were the heads of the various soldiers. He took a bite out of one of them as though eating an apple, looking extremely gruesome.
The Thunder Fighter that lost its soldiers started to descend towards the ground.
After wiping out one of the Thunder Fighters, the intelligent zombie then flashed through the skies, directly tearing into the remaining Thunder Fighters, killing everyone within.
Under the assault of this half-step Type 5 existence, the Thunder Fighters fell out of the skies one by one. In the end, only Randy's Thunder Fighter, as well as 6 others, were left, due to them climbing about 4km high, dodging the chase through the clouds.
The intelligent zombie knew that the cold would be a threat to him, thus, before he had fully evolved to the Type 5 stage, he could not soar further up without being frozen or suffering a decrease in speed. At that point, he might even be killed in retaliation.
"Damn beast!! The intelligence department is fucking useless!! What the fuck have they been doing?! How come such a huge horde was able to escape their detection?!" Onboard the Thunder Fighter, Randy took count of the Thunder Fighters that had managed to flee. He slammed the table in his rage and sorrow, cursing out viciously. He could not understand how the zombies had evaded the surveillance of the satellites. After all, in preparation for this war, all the satellites should have been utilized to keep watch.
Hidden within another cloud, Yue Zhong swept a cold look over Randy's direction, before his gaze landed on the 15th Battalion below, "7 managed to escape… Forget it. What about those fellows below? Do I save them or not?"
It was precisely because Yue Zhong had gotten Bai Yi to hack and control the satellites, that the Kingdom of God was successfully hoodwinked. He was thus caught in their encirclement. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to surround Randy's forces.
