Apocalypse Shelter System

Chapter 177: Jiangcheng Bridge!



Although the team consisted of only about ten people, their combat capabilities and equipment were the best within the base shelter. Moreover, almost half of the soldiers in the two squads were mutant warriors.

The joint convoy of the three teams slowly exited the base shelter. Alex watched the well- trained soldiers and advanced weapons of these formidable squads, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Now that I've lured them out, the next step is to find a way to puppetize all these people!" Alex stared coldly at the armed helicopter slowly approaching from behind.

The situation Alex faced was very grim. Whether it was the City Defense Squad or the Security Management Squad, everyone was highly vigilant towards him. While the two convoys were mutually on guard, they also kept a close eye on Alex's Materials Collection Team.

Moreover, the armed helicopter always flew behind the convoys. As soon as a dangerous situation arose, the helicopter could unleash powerful artillery and machine gun attacks on the ground convoy.

In such circumstances, Alex didn't dare to act recklessly.

"We must find a way to control all these people, especially that armed helicopter. We must figure out a way to take it over! If all else fails, we'll have to deal with it directly, even if it means destroying it!" Alex turned his head, his expression darkening as he rapidly contemplated the strategies to deal with the situation.

The City of Darkness personal guard and the Puppeteer Squad warriors were all ready in the ambush area, waiting for Alex's command.

The convoy entered Jiangcheng City and then proceeded directly towards Jiangcheng Bridge. This is a new area, as no one has explored it before. Consequently, the road is filled with numerous cars, requiring two bulldozers to clear the way for the convoy to continue.

"Jiangcheng Bridge is here!" exclaimed the soldier at the front of the convoy over the radio, his excitement evident.

Everyone looked at the great river in front of them and, above it, the once proud Jiangcheng Bridge that all the residents of Jiangcheng City had taken pride in. Under the ravages of zombies, the entire city of Jiangcheng lay in ruins, but Jiangcheng Bridge stood proudly over the river.

However, the bridge was now packed with cars that had collided with each other.

"After crossing Jiangcheng Bridge, we'll reach the new district of Jiangcheng. There should be more survivors and more supplies there. Bulldozers, continue to clear the way ahead. Everyone, get in line and follow me across one by one!" Alex commanded over the radio. The two bulldozers at the front once again accelerated, rumbling onto Jiangcheng Bridge.

A large number of cars were pushed into the river by the bulldozers, creating a sound of rushing water. Alex and the warriors from the Materials Collection Team were the first to cross the bridge, responsible for paving the way.

The City Defense Squad and Security Management Squad, in a state of mutual distrust, employed a method of interspersed advancement. One car belonged to the City Defense Squad, and the next one belonged to the Security Management Squad, cycling through the procession. Moreover, deliberately maintaining a certain distance from the Materials Collection Team led by Alex.

The armed helicopter and the armored police vehicle were left at the rear.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Both sides remained vigilant, their internal tensions running high. If the armored vehicle and rocket launcher were to attack first, the armed helicopter might be abruptly shot down. In such a scenario, the City Defense Squad would instantly be at a disadvantage.

However, if the armed helicopter were to launch the first attack, destroying the armored vehicle, then the City Defense Squad would hold an absolute advantage. Thus, both sides were on guard against whether the other would initiate an attack.

Any slight anomaly could potentially trigger a fierce battle between the deeply hostile factions. Were it not for Alex's Materials Collection Team leading the way, the two sides, immersed in deep animosity, might have erupted into immediate conflict.

Up ahead, the Materials Collection Team had slowly crossed Jiangcheng Bridge. Meanwhile, the City Defense Squad and Security Management Squad had just reached the central section of the bridge.

Suddenly, a young soldier standing guard on the armored vehicle shouted, "What's that?!" All eyes turned toward the small river beneath Jiangcheng Bridge. The previously calm river suddenly churned, and beneath the water's surface, a massive red figure slowly approached. The helicopter's pilot and soldiers stared dumbfounded at the river, instinctively aiming their weapons downward. However, a figure suddenly appeared inside the armed helicopter.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three muffled sounds echoed as the helicopter pilot turned around, only to find that all three comrades behind him had been knocked to the ground.

Alex had unexpectedly materialized on top of the helicopter without any warning.

"I don't want to kill you. Withdraw the armed helicopter from the bridge and land outside!"

Meanwhile, the Materials Collection Team, which had already crossed the bridge, suddenly turned around. All machine guns and barrels were aimed at the City Defense Squad and Security Management Team on Jiangcheng Bridge. In the rear of the bridge, a massive and aggressive black armored tank suddenly appeared. Behind the tank, a convoy slowly rolled

out.

The armored tank completely sealed off the retreat route, and its dark gun barrels were aimed at the two intersecting convoys. The elite warriors who were present here were well aware of the terrifying destructive power of such a large tank and caliber in such a confined space. Moreover, could the sturdy Jiangcheng Bridge withstand the roar of several cannon blasts? "Falcon! Falcon! This is Lone Wolf! I repeat, this is Lone Wolf! Fire on the tank immediately! It's crucial to intercept the tank!" The squad leader in the convoy took out the walkie-talkie and issued orders to the helicopter's pilot.

"Number 2! Number 2! This is Number 1! Immediately turn the barrel and intercept the tank! Intercept the tank!" The squad leader of the Security Management Team also issued commands to the armored vehicle via the walkie-talkie.

However, the subsequent scene left both squad leaders completely stunned. The armed helicopter suddenly turned around and slowly flew away from the battlefield. Meanwhile, beneath the water surface under Jiangcheng Bridge, a massive tentacle suddenly surged, directly lifting the armored vehicle and the soldiers with rocket launchers on board. The water churned as a figure, resembling a humanoid made of water, slowly rose, carrying huge waves and violently slamming toward the convoy!
