Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies
Chapter 457 - 453: Not Your Ordinary Shock!

Chapter 457: Chapter 453: Not Your Ordinary Shock!

As dusk approached, Mo Jingsheng returned with a weary face.

This time, the sudden disappearance of seawater, while not causing major harm, still resulted in varying degrees of damage and injury to some equipment and personnel.

As the captain and chief commander, Mo Jingsheng personally led the team to finish inspecting and confirming all the vessels, finally setting his mind at ease.

"Jiang Yan, change into your diving suit and oxygen protective clothing, we’re leaving in ten minutes. Ye Qing, you too." With that, he threw out the words and went into the house.

When he came out, he was fully equipped.

The oxygen protective clothing, another relatively important piece of equipment, had oxygen bags built into the clothing.

Wearing both sets together would be quite uncomfortable, but the more it was like this, the more it indicated that tonight’s mission was unlikely to be as simple as imagined.

Mo Jingsheng added, "To avoid any unexpected situations, you’ll come with me later to put some oxygen bottles and submarines into your space ring."

"Okay."

When three of them reached the deck, the sun had already sunk below the horizon.

Song Qian and Li Haoyang were already standing by fully armed.

Song Haitao and Sun Jingtao were there too.

Besides the core team members, there was also a tactical team carrying heavy weaponry.

Each person’s tactical backpack had two large diving fins hanging on the side.

At a glance, it looked somewhat odd and a bit amusing.

After the geomagnetic reversal, all electronic equipment failed, so a few warriors could only manually lower the spare gangway.

On the Escort Ship next to them, there’s a helicopter landing pad, and there are helicopters in the warehouse, but unfortunately, once the electronic equipment malfunctioned, the helicopter cockpit panels weren’t spared either.

Mo Jingsheng looked into the distance, "We’ll walk over later."

Jiang Yan nodded, "Okay."

A warrior jogged over, "Captain, the gangway is ready, the ground is already dry, shall we set off immediately?"

Mo Jingsheng nodded slightly, scanned everyone, and said in a raised voice,

"We don’t know when the geomagnetic reversal will recover, so our operation later is a race against time! I hope everyone can give it their all and ensure victory in our first battle of this mission!"

Everyone answered in unison, "Yes!"

"Is everyone ready?"

"Ready!"

Mo Jingsheng, with an imposing wave of his large hand, commanded, "Set off."

The group filed down to the ground.

Even through thick soles, protective clothing, and a protective mask, Jiang Yan could still feel the heat of the ground and the air, and smelled the strange scent permeating the air.

In just one day, the thick muddy water had completely evaporated dry.

The strange scent was largely due to the secondary fermentation of deceased mutated sea creatures.

The ground was rugged and potholed.

To avoid attracting new unidentified creatures with too much light, only a few people turned on their headlamps.

A gun-carrying lead warrior said, "There are still some places that haven’t dried out, so everyone be careful when walking."

"Okay."

From the destroyer to the warehouse entrance, it’s only about a kilometer, not far.

But unfortunately, everyone was wearing diving suits and cumbersome protective clothing, each carrying a tactical backpack, and the light was dim, making it difficult to walk.

The air was stuffy and unpleasant, and most people were already sweating profusely after a while.

"Why don’t we take off the protective suits since the sun’s already down?" Warrior A muttered softly.

Warrior B responded, "Are you stupid? There’s still ultraviolet radiation at night, it’s just not as strong as during the day."

Warrior A continued, "Worst case, we just get tanned, what’s there to fear!"

Warrior B glanced at him, "Didn’t you attend the morning meeting today? The captain said, ultraviolet radiation can lead to skin cancer and other diseases, possibly even causing body mutations, are you sure you want not to wear it?"

Warrior A fell silent.

Ye Qing, who had been walking beside Jiang Yan this whole time, after a while, grabbed Jiang Yan’s backpack, "Jiang Yan, let me help you."

Jiang Yan politely declined, "I don’t need it, maybe you should check on Dr. Song."

Although Song Haitao was old, his physical condition looked better than some young warriors, but Jiang Yan was still a little worried about him.

So she arranged Hua Bao to stay by his side, just in case the ground was difficult to walk on and he fell or something.

"Alright. Then be careful yourself." Ye Qing walked over to Song Haitao.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at what was called the warehouse entrance.

Jiang Yan then realized the so-called warehouse was built on the edge of a cliff by the sea.

However, the cliff wasn’t that high, and it was previously submerged by seawater.

The previous explosion blew up part of the mountain, exposing part of a metal wall.

But it was clear at a glance that the wall was not the metal of Yaoben Base, but just ordinary metal.

Outside the door were several large and small deep craters left by explosions.

In the largest deep crater directly in front of the door, there were a few giant mutated shark skeletons, already turned to a charcoal color.

Mo Jingsheng seemed to have anticipated this situation, "Set up the ladder."

With a command, a few warriors with non-slip patterned thin plates on their backs quickly moved to the front of the group, "Yes."

"Whoosh!" Two steel cables shot onto the metal door across the pit.

In less than a minute, a meter-wide path was constructed.

"I’ll go first." Li Haoyang volunteered to step forward.

The people in the team now were all specially trained long-term.

Everyone could easily cross a narrower slick single-log bridge, not to mention that it was much wider than the usual training log bridges and even had safety ropes.

Jiang Yan looked at the plates, surprised, "So thin? Can it hold people?"

Dr. Song said, "Yes, this is made of PEEK material, which was already widely used before the apocalypse. It’s as light as plastic, but its hardness and strength are not inferior to steel. Before the apocalypse, most robots were made with this material."

Jiang Yan nodded, suddenly feeling that being around Song Haitao always allowed her to learn quite a few high-tech terminology now and then.

Thinking about it, Jiang Yan still had Hua Bao extend its Vines to secure the sides of the ladder.

Everyone who needed to enter the warehouse had basically crossed over. Mo Jingsheng came over, "Jiang Yan, you first, I’ll bring up the rear."

"Okay."

The group reached the entrance.

The tactical team remained vigilant outside,

Mo Jingsheng led the remaining people into the warehouse.

The warehouse wasn’t high-tech at all, just a typical pre-apocalypse air-raid shelter.

However, this air-raid shelter did have a door leading to the sea, functioning as a semi-enclosed dock.

After opening several extremely heavy iron doors, a somewhat long tunnel appeared before everyone.

Sun Jingtao expressed amazement, "There are even lights here?"

Li Haoyang nodded, "There’s a backup power supply capable of withstanding super strong tsunamis and earthquakes, sufficient for at least ten years of use."

After walking a bit further, a black wall appeared before their eyes.

Just as Jiang Yan was carefully searching for a door handle, Song Haitao took off his gloves and placed his palm on it.

With a flash of light, a small green square frame appeared.

He then removed his protective mask and moved his right eye closer.

Jiang Yan was shocked, and with two beeps, the door opened.

Mo Jingsheng turned his head, "Only Jiang Yan, Dr. Song, Song Qian, Li Haoyang, Sun Jingtao, and I will enter, the rest will guard the door."

"Yes!" Several armed warriors turned around.

With a gesture from Mo Jingsheng, Li Haoyang pushed the door open.

Seeing the two aircraft carriers quietly positioned and the advanced jets and weaponry lined up inside the warehouse, Jiang Yan was completely stunned.

To witness it with one’s own eyes was shocking.

Not just any kind of shock.
