Chapter 303 New Movements of the Zombies
At 11:00 AM on January 16th, the Shuguang (Dawn) aircraft, escorted by two Tyrannosaurus Rex fighter jets, slowly landed at Shuguang City Air Force Base. Yun Lan, Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, Ma Tiancheng, and Wu Gang, along with other division-level and deputy division-level officers, were present to welcome Li Chenglong's triumphant return. Ten special operations team members disembarked first; the members of the Central Computer Office remained on board as they were to maneuver the Shuguang into the dedicated dome-shaped hangar.
A short while later, Li Chenglong, having taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, strode down the gangway and shook hands with everyone present, greeting them all. Zheng Yong excitedly said, "Commander Li has just killed the incredibly ferocious Level 12 Sea Dragon Beast in one fell swoop, greatly boosting the confidence of the entire Chinese military and civilians in fighting against the apocalypse, and setting an example for humanity." The others nodded in agreement.
Li Chenglong didn't say much. This time, he had mastered the G-Crystal and the Holy Dragon Armor. Although he had killed a level 12 sea dragon, he hadn't exhausted himself like last time. He felt that he could fight another battle without any problem. He still had 60% of his spiritual energy left, and more than half of the G-Crystal's energy remained.
He took his son from Yunlan's arms, and Li Yunhao kissed him on the cheek, saying in a childish voice, "Daddy is so amazing, kiss me." Li Chenglong laughed heartily, spun his son around several times, but because he still had to report to General Sun Tianlong and General Chen Guoqiang, he handed the little guy over to Yunlan first and walked quickly toward the command room of the Shuguang City Air Force.
After quickly completing the report in twenty minutes, the Eastern Theater Command and headquarters didn't ask Li Chenglong many questions, mostly expressing encouragement and praise. However, since headquarters wasn't wealthy either, this was just a verbal commendation without any substantial material reward. He wasn't disappointed, as Dawn City was basically self-sufficient and didn't lack anything. Even if there were any shortages, trading with Black Gold City, Qianyun Base, Feiyun Base, and Qingshui Base would make up for it.
After finishing the report, various bases and cities friendly with Dawn City sent congratulatory telegrams, which Li Chenglong personally responded to one by one. Before he knew it, it was noon. Li Chenglong hadn't eaten yet, but he finally ended the communication and had some time. As soon as he got home, Song Yixin had already prepared a meal. Li Chenglong, Yunlan, Han Xiaoling, and Song Yixin sat together to eat, while Li Yunhao was in Yunlan's arms. Yunlan first fed her son the baby food Song Yixin had prepared before eating her own meal.
The dinner table was quite lively. Since Han Xiaoling was responsible for staying in the central computer room, although she could see the live broadcast, it certainly wasn't as immersive as Zhao Liying and the others. She asked Li Chenglong many questions. Yun Lan was also somewhat curious, because she, as his wife, had never seen Li Chenglong in his full-body armor form before.
Li Chenglong said with a smile, "The current armor fit is actually the true form. The previous two forms were not quite right. They consumed a lot of energy and could not unleash my true strength. Now I can transform without the previous summoning device. I can transform directly with my mind. The dragon and phoenix belt around my waist has G crystals that provide energy, and the octagonal diamond-shaped colored indicator light on my chest is an energy indicator light that shows the energy I am currently using."
He continued, "The octagonal diamond-shaped indicator lights are divided into eight sections, each a different color: white, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Normally, these colors only emit a faint glow, but when a particular ability is used, the corresponding section will emit a brighter light. When the energy is depleted, it turns white, and the Holy Dragon Armor will also turn white. Red represents strength, orange fire, yellow armor penetration, green perception, cyan magic, blue agility, and purple lightning. The Holy Dragon Armor will also have a different color for each type of energy."
However, Li Chenglong immediately added, "Actually, you can use multiple types of energy at once. The more you use, the stronger the power you can theoretically unleash. But I'm still in the experimental stage and haven't actually used it yet." Yun Lan and Han Xiaoling nodded, indicating they had a basic understanding of Li Chenglong's new armor's fit. After quickly finishing their meal, Han Xiaoling went to the central computer room, while Yun Lan took her son for a nap. Song Yixin and Li Chenglong then cleaned up the dishes together.
After Li Chenglong and Song Yixin finished packing, Song Yixin went to rest, while Li Chenglong went straight to the military headquarters. Zheng Yong had just contacted him, saying that according to reconnaissance by the Dawn City Air Force and information support units, the zombies had begun to show new signs of activity. This was extremely important. He used spatial teleportation to arrive outside the Dawn Building, and then quickly used his flight ability to reach the military headquarters.
Today is exactly one month away from Lunar New Year's Eve. Li Chenglong originally wanted the soldiers to have a good rest and spend a relatively relaxed December and Spring Festival together. However, if a new wave of battles with zombies were to occur, then they would have to fight desperately to protect this peaceful homeland.
Because he arrived so quickly, officers from some military zones further away hadn't arrived yet. Zheng Yong had originally intended to give Li Chenglong a preliminary overview of the situation, but he thought it would be better to gather information together once everyone had arrived. Twenty minutes later, the main leaders of various departments of the Dawn Army had all arrived. Li Xue, as the representative of the information support unit, explained some of the new developments they had discovered.
Li Xue stood in front of a large screen displaying a rough map of the southeastern zombie-infested area. Holding a baton, she pointed and explained, "Through our investigation and research by the Dawn City Air Force and Information Support Unit, we've discovered that the zombie population is expanding outwards. Although the speed isn't fast, perhaps only a few dozen meters per day, it is indeed expanding. Another issue is that, besides the zombie expansion, we've also discovered the palaces of the Eight Guardians, located in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast, with two in each location."
Wu Gang frowned and said, "Back then, Commander Li and Deputy Commander Yun both killed several protectors. In addition, there was internal strife among them. Logically, there should have been at most three left. So now there are eight more. Could it be that they have replenished their ranks?" "Yes, they have replenished their ranks!" As soon as Wu Gang finished speaking, Yun Lan walked in with a young girl. Everyone looked closely and realized that it was Han Feng, the level 10 three-elemental female zombie they had seen before.
Yunlan nodded to the people in the conference room, then immediately stepped to the front of the stage and said, "I'm sure everyone knows this young lady, so I won't introduce her. She has some very important information to tell us. Please be quiet and listen to Han Feng recount the information she has obtained."
After parting ways with Li Chenglong, she went alone to find her teacher, Protector Xun, and his friend, Protector Gen. After nearly a month of searching, she received devastating news: Protectors Xun and Gen had been besieged by two zombie marshals leading dozens of level 10 and 11 zombies, and were ultimately killed due to being outnumbered. Although Han Feng desperately wanted to avenge her teacher, she knew she was outnumbered and powerless. To achieve revenge, she needed to find allies. After much thought, she decided to go find Li Chenglong after all.
Although she hadn't spent much time with Li Chenglong and the others, she could sense that Li Chenglong harbored no ill will towards her; on the contrary, he was as kind as family. However, she couldn't go empty-handed, so Han Feng used her zombie identity to gather a lot of new information about the zombie world before rushing off to tell Li Chenglong.
