The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse
Chapter 562 - 555: Fly Over

Chapter 562: Chapter 555: Fly Over

Ten people took three cars and headed to the refinery as fast as they could.

You Zixing probably knew what they would encounter, but he had received a strict order. With communication already cut off and the enemy clearly opening fire, it didn’t matter whether Gao Yuan was in trouble or possibly even on his way back; You Zixing still had to go to the refinery.

Because to place hope in the possibility that the protected target might be safe is a disgrace for the protector.

The three off-road vehicles sped at their maximum, but once they entered the urban area, their speed was bound to decrease, and they would definitely encounter zombies.

You Zixing had seen zombies, but he had no concept of what it was like to engage a large number of zombies in combat.

Taking the shortest route, You Zixing’s car was the first to rush onto the highway of Malakal City.

The asphalt road was smooth and broad, and although there were occasional abandoned vehicles, it was easy to pass through.

There were no people and no zombies; the city was as quiet as a ghost town, which, in a sense, it was.

You Zixing held a map, and now that the car was driving smoothly, it was much easier for him to read it.

"He just set up three explosive points at the refinery. The oil tanks have exploded, so next he must go to blow up the refinery’s distillation tower, to the distillation tower of the refinery!"

You Zixing made up his mind and pointed toward the conspicuous firelight in the night sky, saying, "Head straight for that!"

The oil tank fire was like a torch in the night sky, and now there was basically no need to discern direction, just head towards the oil tank area.

Finally, You Zixing saw a few staggering figures.

There were about a dozen figures, staggering towards the firelight at a slow pace; they were a dozen zombies attracted by the firelight and the loud noise, heading towards the refinery.

After hearing a sound from behind, a zombie turned its head, then without any hesitation, the zombie turned and lunged toward the lead car; its slow, leisurely speed suddenly became incredibly fast.

The zombie was sent flying by the impact, but then came a second, and a third zombie.

As long as the zombies did not reach a certain number, even if they were fast and strong, they were not frightening; there was no need to fire guns, just driving the car over them was enough.

The car slowed down its speed, and You Zixing and his team were getting closer to the refinery. Through thermal imaging and low-light night vision devices, they had an excellent view. As the zombies were distracted and concentrated near the refinery, You Zixing and his team managed to get close to the oil depot smoothly.

But there was a limit to how close they could get; less than two thousand meters from the refinery, they could already see large numbers of zombies gathered together.

But this was only the first encounter; these were the stragglers at the very back of the zombie colony, disorganized, and not in large numbers.

You Zixing began to feel that things were getting difficult.

The speed of the zombies had left a deep impression on You Zixing; he couldn’t imagine what he would do if hundreds of zombies rushed him at once.

Moreover, the zombies were attracted to the vicinity of the refinery, which meant that going to the refinery would definitely result in encountering a large number of zombies.

"Captain, what do we do? Do we just charge through?"

These were just a small group of zombies, not even enough to constitute a horde, but going forward would inevitably lead to many more zombies. Driving a car quickly over a long distance and into the city had already been done; charging into the refinery by car would be tantamount to suicide.

Bravery is not recklessness.

Being fully aware of the extreme danger of entering Malakal City to search for and rescue Gao Yuan yet still going is bravery.

To know that there will definitely be a large number of zombies blocking the path, and then for these ten people to charge forward recklessly, knowing they would likely die before getting close to the refinery, is recklessness.

To act recklessly out of a desire to display determination is foolish.

You Zixing let out a sigh, then raised his hand, signaling to stop moving forward.

The vehicle stopped, and You Zixing looked back to see several zombies that had been knocked down struggling to get up, then continuing to lurch towards them.

Impact alone couldn’t kill the zombies quickly.

You Zixing sighed, then said in a low voice, "We can’t get past on the ground, we have to fly over. Retreat, find a safe place."

Fly over, was there a way to do that?

Indeed, there was a way, and it was the exceedingly cliché paramotor.

It turned out You Zixing and his team actually had paramotors, three sets, stowed right there in the vehicle.

If all ten people couldn’t make it across, then even if just three could fly over, it would be better than all ten dying on the ground.

They couldn’t go any further, so You Zixing decided to take off from here.

Paramotor flying was a skill every member of You Zixing’s team had mastered, but only three were truly good at it.

So, You Zixing didn’t need to assign anyone, those who were good at flying would take to the air.

The three vehicles quickly drove back, stopped, removed the ready-to-use paramotors from the vehicles, strapped them on, and then started the engines.

The wings began to inflate, slowly spreading and drifting towards the sky when suddenly, a soldier on guard with a gun exclaimed, "Captain, zombies!"

The noise from the paramotors’ engines wasn’t very loud, they hadn’t fired their guns, and there shouldn’t be any zombies nearby, but the zombies still came rushing over.

You Zixing turned to glance at them, the zombies were only three to four hundred meters away, coming from the direction of the refinery.

It was unclear what had attracted the zombies, but now, there was no time to worry about that.

"Cover us, retreat as soon as we’re airborne!"

You Zixing gave the order, but paramotors took some time to unfold and take off, and he believed they had enough time.

However, the zombies were too fast. Watching them charge was a completely different feeling from hitting them with the vehicle.

Finally, You Zixing’s feet left the ground, but the nearest zombie was already less than a hundred meters away.

"Cover! Try not to fire! Retreat quickly!"

The zombies would reach them after they had ascended to a safe height, so You Zixing could only give the order to cover.

Firing could attract even more zombies. Although the noise this evening was loud and plentiful, no more, louder noises could be made now, especially since they were too close to the zombies.

Once aloft, the ascent would be very slow. When You Zixing had reached a height of five or six meters, the highest person had already climbed to more than ten meters.

The paramotors were safe now, the covering personnel began their retreat, the car tires emitted a shrill sound, and the three vehicles started to leave on the road they had come from.

The zombies’ attention was drawn to the cars, and they began chasing after them. You Zixing and the other two were temporarily safe, but it was only temporary.

Why hadn’t they used the paramotors to fly over right from the start? Because there were monsters in the sky, like bats, that would actively attack drones.
