Chapter 1498: Chapter 862: Three Routes
The military base gate was opened, and heavy artillery was pushed out of the tunnel by Luo and his team, with Old Lv and others helping to transport the bombs.
Quickly.
Ant and Old Qin also finished refueling the aviation kerosene, stepped back a few steps.
Third Uncle waved to them, then said to Jackals at the pilot’s seat, "Jackals, go, depart!"
Bzzz—
The huge air current kicked up by the helicopter sent dust swirling.
In an instant, Li Yu was blinded by the dust.
As the helicopter ascended and flew away into the distance.
The dust on this side slowly settled, and inside the barbed wire, Li Yu had several lamps illuminate the flat ground.
It was to make it easier for Luo and his team to operate the heavy artillery, and also so that when Third Uncle and his team returned later, they could see clearly to land.
Five heavy artillery pieces were lined up on the open ground before the tunnel.
Behind them, Old Lv and Yang Tianlong were still transporting bombs over.
Ant and Old Qin went to help, adjusting the position of the heavy artillery to prevent unevenness, which would affect firing accuracy.
An error of millimeters can lead to a deviation of miles.
Precision is a must.
Luo and his team were preparing the heavy artillery, adjusting parameters and details.
....
On Third Uncle’s side.
Jackals piloted the helicopter toward the zombies.
The helicopter’s speed was exceedingly fast, arriving above the zombies in just a few minutes.
Hovering at more than two hundred meters above the ground, the zombies were below.
Third Uncle looked at the scene below, somewhat taken aback.
These zombies irradiated by nuclear radiation glowed, illuminating the ground, like giant fireflies, especially visible in the dark.
Third Uncle let Jackals circle in the air, then said to him, "Go to the front, identify a location first."
Upon hearing Third Uncle’s words, Jackals quickly piloted the helicopter to fly there.
This location was precisely between two forests, approximately ten kilometers from the military base.
The movement speed of these zombies wasn’t much different from ordinary zombies.
If ignoring the radiation hazard, these zombies weren’t as dangerous as ordinary ones.
Because night zombies are the most dangerous; in pitch darkness where one can’t see them, it’s extremely perilous.
But these glowing zombies are visible from far away, rendering them less hazardous.
However, these zombies have nuclear radiation, which is the biggest problem.
The helicopter hovered above the artillery strike location, Third Uncle confirmed the coordinates, then immediately told Jackals, "Go, fly farther; I’m about to report the coordinates, and we don’t want to be hit by bombs."
Generally, frontline observers stay on the ground.
The advantage of being on the ground is better concealment and reduced chance of being discovered and attacked.
But in this situation, being rigid isn’t effective.
Third Uncle and his team were in the air, the ground zombies couldn’t hurt them.
Staying in the sky made it easier to determine coordinate positions.
Jackals flew the helicopter a few kilometers away, reaching a relatively safe position.
Third Uncle took a telescope and glanced at the zombies, then took a walkie-talkie and contacted Li Yu: "Xiao Yu, I’m ready here, coordinate position is XXXX, fire a shot to test accuracy."
Li Yu, hearing Third Uncle on the walkie-talkie, felt a movement in his heart, then conveyed the coordinates to Luo and his team, who promptly adjusted the heavy artillery height based on the coordinates.
"Ready."
Luo raised his hand to report that the heavy artillery position had been adjusted according to coordinates.
Li Yu reconfirmed the coordinate position with Third Uncle, then checked with Luo.
After confirming no issues, Li Yu said to Third Uncle: "We’re firing."
"Good." Third Uncle replied concisely.
Boom!
From the heavy artillery barrel, a bomb streaked with sparks soared, tracing a beautiful arc.
Rumble!
The bomb accurately struck the front of the zombie horde.
Third Uncle sat in the helicopter, picked up his telescope, and looked over.
The highway between two forests was blown away, leaving a crater over a meter deep, completely destroying the road.
The zombies at the blast center were shattered into glowing powder.
Within fifty meters of the blast center, all zombies faced strikes.
Even the trees in the forests on either side were affected by the immense power.
The trees crashed down.
In the road center, a huge circle formed.
"Good! Very accurate!" Third Uncle was excited, slapping his leg.
The first shot was incredibly precise!
Sitting in the helicopter, making direct overhead confirmations; it was like an open-book test.
Originally, frontline observers could only stay on the ground, observing from the side, subject to angle errors.
But directly flying over the coordinates ensured accuracy.
Unless the projectile deviated.
That road was straight, with only the last section curved, making the coverage range accurate.
It formed a rectangular space, artillery could strike inside.
Third Uncle had Jackals fly over again, marking a rectangle and its corners.
