From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 639
Chapter 639 Black Hawk Falls
I’m afraid even the real residents of the imperial capital, Very few people knew how large their city was. Not even a single glance could describe its scale. The tall buildings rose and fell like mountains. The crisscrossing roads were the rivers that flowed through these mountains. Just the scale alone was enough to call it a miracle in human history.
“Maintain your altitude! Continue flying towards the northwest …”
Chen Guangda patted the pilot on the shoulder. This was the first time in his life that he had seen the true appearance of the imperial capital. He had never thought that he would come here in this way before. Unfortunately, they did not really want to enter the imperial capital. Instead, they wanted to go to Tianhe City, which was close to the imperial capital. It used to be a jurisdiction of the imperial capital, and it had just been transferred to a neighboring province to become a prefecture-level city before the apocalypse.
“Brother! Let’s fly over Forbidden City. I haven’t been to Forbidden City yet. If I miss this today, I don’t know if I’ll have the chance to see it again in my life …”
Little Sissy pleaded as he pulled Chen Guangda back. Actually, it wasn’t just Little Sissy and Chen Guangda. There were quite a few people who hadn’t been to this historic city, and the Chinese people were more or less in a state of pilgrimage towards their imperial capital. Thus, Chen Guangda nodded and said, “Let’s lower our altitude and take a spin around Forbidden City before flying straight to Tianhe City!”
“OK!”
The pilot gave a thumbs up without hesitation. They flew straight into the depths of the city. At this time, everyone couldn’t help but look out. If it was impossible for them to randomly fly here in the past, they would probably be forced to land in a few minutes. However, even if they were hoping for someone to take care of them now, it was impossible for them to do so.
“So scary …”
Little Sissy suddenly lost his excitement. The scene he saw was completely different from what he imagined. The once prosperous capital was now full of ruins, collapsed skyscrapers were everywhere, and large numbers of houses were burned into pieces. Even after two years, he could still smell a soaring smell of burnt paste.
The streets were no different from other cities. The cars that crashed were piled up like mountains. They either rolled over or crashed into buildings. Perhaps the only thing that did not change was the crowd. The dense number of living corpses was as terrifying as when the tide of corpses came. Thinking about the population density of more than 20 million people made one’s scalp go numb.
The plane was slowly lowering its altitude, But as the scenery below became clearer and clearer, The burden on everyone’s hearts became heavier and heavier. The Imperial Capital was undoubtedly the pillar in the hearts of the people. Now, it had collapsed like a gigantic giant. It really made people feel powerless from the depths of their hearts. It was like an old man lying on the streets, silently telling people that it was over with the final tragedy! Everything is over!
“How could this be …”
Someone sighed faintly. Although they knew that the result would definitely be like this, they still had a last glimmer of hope in their hearts. They hoped that the emperor would bring them a different life force, even if it was only to show them a path to hope. Otherwise, they would not have deviated from the voyage and deliberately flew over to take a look.
“I swear …”
Zhou Shengwu suddenly straightened his back and pressed down on his right chest. His subordinates, including Su Tong, actually followed him and shouted with a solemn expression, “From now on, I will use my life to guard my homeland. My fellow countrymen, I will do my duty faithfully, not take a wife, not have children, not fight for glory and pet. I will sacrifice my life and glory to the Montenegro Army, never go back on my word until death!”
The solemn and solemn oath shocked the entire cabin, causing blood to surge for no reason. However, no one thought that they had suddenly gone crazy, because they were the last barrier and hope of humanity. Seeing that the pillars in the hearts of the people had completely collapsed, if they did not stand out, humanity would truly never see the light of day.
However, Chen Guangda suddenly understood why Zhou Shengwu had never been with Su Tong, because there was a promise in their oath that they would never have a wife or children. This was almost like the courage of someone who would never go to hell if I didn’t go to jail. The spirit of sacrificing myself, once I chose, there would be no turning back!
“Old Zhou! I admire …”
Chen Guangda suddenly took the lead and applauded. The others applauded without exception. Even Chen Quan, who had always been unruly, sincerely praised him. However, at this moment, the pilot suddenly shouted in shock, “My brother! Someone below is contacting us and requesting us to land for rescue!”
“Where are they? Quickly ask …”
Zhou Shengwu looked down in shock. Unfortunately, the densely packed buildings were unable to see anyone clearly. The pilot covered his headphones and replied after a while, “They are trapped in Forbidden City. It is said that there are hundreds of people. They hope that we can help them. They also said that all the treasures in Bauhinia City can be given to us!”
“Over there …”
Xia Fei suddenly pointed to the front right and shouted, Chen Guangda hurriedly picked up his binoculars and looked forward. He saw a vast expanse of empty Bauhinia City. However, many running humans were gathering in the middle of the square. There were also large red SOS painted on the ground. They were waving colorful cloth with all their might, and a thick black smoke was speeding out.
“Heh ~ I forgot, this Forbidden City is a standard city …”
Wang Dafu looked downstairs in amusement. Forbidden City itself had a city wall that was about ten meters tall. Ordinary living corpses could not even flip through it with their bare hands. In addition, there were all sorts of barricades and defensive facilities in the city. As long as they did not encounter powerful living corpses like the Fat Corpse King, they would be able to solve the food problem. Those hiding inside would be able to live peacefully.
“My brother! They said that two pregnant women are about to give birth, and another has difficulty giving birth. I hope we can rescue the two pregnant women first, and the rest can wait for the evacuation …”
The pilot turned around and asked for Zhou Shengwu’s opinion. Zhou Shengwu nodded without hesitation, but Chen Guangda stopped him. “Don’t listen to their nonsense. They have difficulty giving birth the moment we arrive. How could there be such a coincidence? Don’t forget that there are soldiers stationed in Bauhinia City. What if they descend and snatch the plane? If we break the propeller, none of us will be able to leave!”
“No way! These are the people at the foot of the Imperial City. The soldiers are also regular soldiers …”
Li Tingyu frowned doubtfully. The plane stopped right above the plaza. The crowd below could be seen shouting desperately, but Chen Guangda said disdainfully, “Shut up. I’ve seen more survivors than you’ve ever seen. People are forced to do anything wicked, no matter what country they are from!”
“Tch ~ You’re just mentally gloomy, so you don’t feel like there are any good people in the world …”
Li Tingyu curled her lips in dissatisfaction, but Zhou Shengwu patted the pilot on the shoulder and said, “Tell them that we are on a mission and we can’t delay. Let’s wait for a few days before coming back to save them. Let’s throw two medical kits to them first!”
“Alright!”
The pilot immediately repeated what he said. The co-pilot also lowered his altitude and circled over the Golden Water Bridge to deliver the medical kit. Unexpectedly, the pilot’s expression suddenly changed drastically. He actually shouted angrily, “Damn it! They said we wouldn’t land, so they shot us down!”
“Let’s go! They have anti-aircraft guns …”
Chen Guangda suddenly lowered his binoculars and roared, The co-pilot immediately pulled the handle and hurriedly flew out. Who knew that two crimson bullets would immediately shoot down like two burning flame whips towards them. The pilot immediately made a high-risk dive and the people in the cabin floated like they were weightless.
“Hurry up and hurry up …”
Chen Guangda hugged Xia Fei. She was pressed tightly onto the floor. Everyone else tightened their grip on the fixtures beside her. However, they heard a loud “Dang” sound. Everyone’s hearts immediately sank. This sound was 100% fatal. An ear-piercing alarm sounded in the cabin, and a huge cloud of smoke immediately emerged from the tail of the plane.
“The tail of the plane has been shot. You guys have almost caught it …”
The two pilots shouted desperately, The helicopter immediately spun like a top. Everyone in the cabin was immediately thrown dizzy, as if they were sitting in a dryer. However, there was nothing they could do except grab onto something. Even if they jumped out of the parachute at such a low altitude, they wouldn’t be able to open it. If they fell into the pile of corpses, they would definitely die.
“Don’t fall into the water, or you’ll be finished …”
Chen Guangda shouted desperately, If more than half of them fell into the water, they would die. However, the two pilots had no choice. They were also dazed from being thrown. However, they soon heard a loud thud. Everyone felt their entire bodies tremble violently, and even their souls almost flew out. Following that, there was a violent explosion.
“Ah! Help …”
Li Tingyu suddenly let out a miserable scream and slid out of front of Chen Guangda. Chen Guangda didn’t even catch her. He watched as she slid out of the cabin with a whoosh. Who knew how many more people fell out one after another. Wang Dafu also rolled out like a ball.
“Fatty!!!”
Chen Guangda shouted in an extremely miserable manner. His eyes turned red from anxiety. Who knew that Li Tingyu would suddenly have a ghostly expression on her face. She actually laughed out loud in delight and said, “Hehe ~ We’ve successfully landed. We’re only a meter tall!”
“Hu ~”
Everyone finally let out a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that they had fallen into a landscape belt. The plane was hanging askew between two large trees. The people who fell out also stood up in a daze. However, Chen Guangda looked at Zhou Shengwu and said, “If you don’t listen to my words, don’t tell me that Brother is unlucky this time!”
“Fortunately, your reputation is outside. Otherwise, we would have to die today …”
Zhou Shengwu knocked on his helmet with a face full of joy. A broken tree branch was poking at his helmet. If they hadn’t all worn protective gear, he would have died first. However, Wang Dafu shouted with a naked face, “Don’t brag. This is on the main road. The living corpses are all coming up!”
“Hurry up! Copy the guy and get out of here …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly copied and jumped out of the cabin with his gun and backpack. The others also picked up their weapons and followed closely behind them. However, they couldn’t help but stumble. After everyone hurriedly rushed out of the landscape belt, they discovered that there was an incomparably wide road in front of them. The tall and majestic Forbidden City wasn’t too far from them, but the living corpses that were like tides were running towards them like a sea.
“Follow me …”
Chen Guangda quickly scanned the surroundings. They immediately aimed at a very large courtyard across the street. From afar, they saw the sign that read-Tianjing City’s 56th Middle School. At this time, they no longer cared about gunfire control and directly shook their steps. The guns shot desperately, but they soon felt the enthusiasm of the people of the Imperial Capital. The density of living corpses here was simply unimaginable.
