Chapter 225 President Qiao is back!

"Enemy attack?" the Black Cloud leader growled.

Its azure eyes flashed silver light in the night, as beautiful as the shining Milky Way on a summer night.

Looking up, it let out a majestic and powerful roar.

In an instant, the beasts in the mountains and fields responded with a roar so powerful that it seemed as if the whole world was shaking with the beasts' roars.

The originally densely packed herd of beasts barked and quickly spread out, and in a moment they turned into small fighting groups, moving quickly across the wilderness.

In just a few breaths, he entered combat mode.

The quick group reaction shocked Qiao Lan and others.

Qiao Lan wasn't idle either. After spotting the big bird, he immediately pulled out his sniper rifle and fired several shots in succession.

The rapidly approaching bird was extremely fast and moving at high speed, but it was still hit by a bullet.

There was a dull thud, sparks flashed, and the bird's body trembled.

But it was still flying, obviously no vital injuries were sustained.

Qiao Lan continued his effort, aiming at the big bird's head and hooking the trigger with his index finger.

"Don't shoot! Is Qiao Lan the one down there? Don't shoot, it's me! One of us! One of us!"

But just as he was about to shoot, the communicator in his pocket automatically turned on the frequency band, and panicked and sharp screams came from it.

"Qiao Lan! Miss Qiao! I'm Feng Feng, Feng Feng, do you remember me? Don't shoot! I worked so hard to come here to save the situation, you can't let me be shot to death, Miss Qiao!"

The screams in the communicator were extremely high-frequency and piercing.

Qiao Lan was very cautious. One hand was still holding the trigger, and the other hand was used to take out the communicator to talk.

"Circle three times in the sky, clockwise!" she ordered. You say you're one of us, right? Prove it.

The big bird had already arrived above her head, flying low, and immediately circled three times as ordered.

Through the sight, Qiao Lan saw this time that there was a small raised space on the back of the big bird. There was a window and a seat. A person was sitting inside. The shape of his upper body looked somewhat familiar.

"Miss Qiao, can I land now? This bird belongs to us, not the enemy!" Feng Feng's scream sounded again in the communicator.

"Can."

Qiao Lan threw a small flashing infrared light onto an open space several dozen meters away, signaling the big bird to stop there.

The big bird circled and slowly descended, its huge wings stirring up a strong wind, causing the nearby mutant beasts to roar at it in dissatisfaction.

The bird stopped and a man jumped off its back, landing on the ground and looking around.

"Oh my god, there are so many mutant beasts here! Why are there so many mutant beasts here... Miss Qiao, where are you?"

"Behind you."

"ah?!"

The man screamed and turned around. Qiao Lan pointed the flashlight at his face and it was indeed Feng Feng.

Ye Qi's colleague and comrade from the capital went to other cities to investigate the situation as soon as the Bloody Dawn base was established, and he would send back some news from time to time.

I didn't expect that he would come back at this time.

It's been a long time since we last met, and this guy is still the same, chattering non-stop as soon as we meet.

"Stop taking pictures, it's really me, guaranteed to be genuine!"

"Miss Qiao, you've awakened, haven't you? You came up behind me without making any noise. It was really scary, like a ghost. You know, my special ability is speed plus physical strength. I'm very agile and sharp, and I won't let anyone get close to me easily. But how did you get here? I didn't even notice it!"

"But just now you fired a shot into the sky and hit the mechanical shell. I immediately guessed it must have been you. Who else but you could have shot something moving so fast in the dark?"

"Quick, quick, quick! Take a look at this bird-shaped fighter. It's our latest research and development achievement, isn't it amazing? It's so valuable! We've only ever produced less than twenty, and this time we've sent five to the Eastern Front! Five! What a big deal!"

"Because this battlefield is too important, we absolutely cannot lose! No!"

"But guess what, Miss Qiao, Ye Qi only left four of these important new fighter planes on the battlefield. I had this one specially sent back to City C for you. It's for you! Miss Qiao! Go up and try it out!"

"This fighter is so easy to fly. I tell you, it feels great to operate, and it's also very cool!"

Blah blah blah…

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qiao Lan stood a little further away to avoid being spitted on.

This guy speaks like a machine gun, rambling on and on for a long paragraph, and he finishes it all in just one minute. His speaking speed is so fast that he can rap.

Is this the officially developed mechanical bird? It looks bigger than the Temple's. I wonder if its performance is comparable. What on earth is this Eastern Front? Qiao Lan wasn't quite sure what Feng Feng was saying.

"Ye Qi gave me a bird? What? Want me to work for him?" Qiao Lan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Ahaha, of course not. I guess he just feels that he can't trust someone else with such a precious thing, so he needs you to do it so it can play its best role."

"No! Send it back to him!"

"ah?"

Feng Feng was stunned and quickly caught up with Qiao Lan. "It's like this, Miss Qiao. The Eastern battlefield..." blah blah blah. "And this bird-shaped fighter plane..." blah blah blah. "Now, the C City Temple here..." blah blah blah.

As Qiao Lan listened, he stopped.

It turns out that not only is the Crimson Dawn base in the city fighting with the Temple, but there is also such a large battlefield outside?

The Eastern Battlefield determines the success or failure of the overall situation, and the existence of the Holy Spirit in the Temple of City C has a significant impact on the Eastern Battlefield?

so……

"Very good, Ye Qi, I'll remember this. When you see him, tell him that I didn't fight for him, nor do I value his kindness in giving me this broken iron bird. I did it for myself, my companions, and the Black Cloud allies."

Qiao Lan rolled her eyes.

"It's not an iron bird. The material of this bird-shaped fighter is the latest scientific research result, an improved titanium alloy..."

"I don't care if it's made of iron or something else, just let me use it once, and it'll be mine from now on."

Qiao Lan declared domineeringly.

Feng Feng was surprised: "Ah, no, this is one of the few official fighter planes. It is very valuable and cannot be owned by an individual. It's just..."

Qiao Lan ignored his chatter and went to find the leader of Black Cloud to give him a brief explanation.

Heiyun nodded slightly. "I've heard about the human battlefield in the eastern wilderness. A team of my subordinates is over there, observing the situation."

Animals have a large range of activities, so many humans in City C don't know about the Eastern Battlefield. However, it had already heard reports from its reconnaissance beasts that two major human forces were fighting over there.

In reality, Black Cloud had already dispatched a powerful combat corps to the eastern battlefield, awaiting an opportunity to strike. If the Temple had a clear advantage, the beasts would remain silent, but if the other side gained the upper hand, the beasts would secretly help harvest the Temple's followers.

Leader Black Cloud has no good feelings towards the human organization, the Temple of Earth. He has been observing this organization for a long time and is certain that the Temple cannot become an ally and will also threaten the mutant beast population. Therefore, he has long hoped that the Temple will be destroyed.

But it had no intention of publicly revealing its herd on the battlefield. It could harvest the beasts quietly, but before forming an alliance with a certain human faction, Black Cloud had no desire to get involved in human conflict.

But after Qiao Lan talked to it, Heiyun learned that the battlefield was on the same side as Qiao Lan...

"I will immediately send the fastest mutant beast to the battlefield to notify the legion to enter and join the battle." Heiyun stated.

"But at the same time, I also hope that after the war, we can get the share of the spoils that we deserve," it emphasized.

Qiao Lan smiled: "Deal!"

She picked up Feng Feng, jumped onto the big mechanical bird in a few leaps, and went into the control room.

He patted Feng Feng on the shoulder and asked him to start the fighter.

"Let's go and stabilize the situation in the city first."

A burning fighting spirit ignited in Qiao Lan's eyes.

She said a miracle would happen.

Look, the official mechanical bird is much better than the temple's crappy stuff!

According to Feng Feng, the temple's mechanical bird relies on a high-end intelligent chip to control its flight. It has a certain level of situational awareness and can interact instantly with registered individuals. For example, if a key figure in the temple were in danger, the mechanical bird would fly to the rescue without the individual's need for a summons, automatically determining whether to assist in the fight or flee.

Well, Qiao Lan knew this. When she was fighting the White Bone Demon, she was about to succeed, but suddenly a big mechanical bird came and rescued the White Bone Demon.

In addition to the rescue function, the Temple Mechanical Bird also has a series of miscellaneous functions such as communication, combat assistance, battlefield command, etc., which is quite comprehensive.

As for the official mecha bird, honestly, it's not original. It was developed by capturing a number of Templar mecha birds at great expense, disassembling them, and studying them. The basic technology was derived from the Templars, but with ingenious improvements, the focus was on developing the bird's combat capabilities, ignoring other features and specifically enhancing its combat performance. The result is essentially a high-tech bird-shaped fighter.

I can't compare other functions with the temple's bird, but when it comes to combat, this bird is definitely ahead of the temple's bird.

"It can be driven automatically or manually controlled, making it more suitable for rapid battlefield response than the Temple version. The basic operation is similar to flying a plane. These buttons control the direction, this side is the bombing control area, and this side controls the muzzle..."

Feng Feng explained to Qiao Lan while controlling the big bird to fly towards the city.

"Have you learned it?"

"I've learned it."

"Are you sure? If you're not sure, I'll teach you again. Fly a few laps around the city for practice. Be careful not to get into any accidents. This fighter plane is very valuable."

"No problem, absolutely fine."

Qiao Lan pushed Feng Feng away from the driver's seat and sat in it himself, maneuvering the Big Bird fighter left and right, up and down, and even doing a few somersaults in the air to prove that he had learned it.

Feng Feng broke out in cold sweat, felt like vomiting, and felt airsick.

"Ms. Qiao, please...be steady..."

"It's okay, go ahead and do your thing."

Qiao Lan was confident.

What's so hard about this? When she first learned to fly a helicopter, no one taught her. A novice could just take off. Although the operation of this big bird was slightly different from flying a plane, she was already an experienced pilot, so she just needed to familiarize herself with the control panel.

"Let's go! I'm going to drop a bomb!"

"...Okay. Have a safe journey, Miss Qiao."

"The same to you."

The big bird had already flown over the urban area of ​​City C. Feng Feng got into a miniature plane. The belly of the big bird opened, and the small plane flew out from it, heading quickly towards the eastern battlefield.

He was here to deliver a fighter plane and could not stay long, as he was also responsible for communications in various places.

Looking back at the Big Bird fighter plane that had already started spitting out shells, he secretly prayed in his heart that Qiao Lan could control the situation in City C and contribute to the victory on the eastern battlefield.

He has no intention of morally blackmailing Miss Qiao, but this is a battle between people who want the world to be a better place and the forces of evil. He really hopes that people with strong abilities can participate and jointly protect the current hard-won living environment and protect everyone's own future!

"Hi! Ironhide friends, how are you?"

Qiao Lan controlled the big bird to circle around the city, shouting greetings and dropping bombs on the streets densely populated by zombies.

Boom boom boom!

The explosion was deafening, the air was filled with smoke, and flames shot into the sky.

It is an incendiary shell specially made for zombies. After the explosion, special fuel continues to burn to ensure that every zombie within the explosion range can be ignited.

Soon, several bombed streets were on fire. From the beginning to the end of the street, there were shattered corpses and people who were still able to walk but were on fire.

——It spreads so fast!

Qiao Lan looked down from the bird's back cockpit. In the huge beam of light from the fuselage, dense swarms of zombies filled the streets.

At this time, it was no longer just the first batch of armed zombies.

Zombies are contagious.

It's not like in movies and TV shows, where one bite turns you into a zombie. It's a fast-spreading virus that will spread to normal people and animals as the zombies kill and attack, and then this person or animal will become a zombie.

In a previous life, Qiao Lan had come into contact with some zombies from the Saint Yes Company and had the good fortune to learn a little about the situation. Strictly speaking, zombies don't spread a virus, but rather a protein infectious agent, a specially arranged string of amino acids. This was an unexpected product of the mutation process, and was developed and utilized by Saint Yes Company.

Once this code enters a normal organism, it rapidly infects the brain and nervous system, spreading throughout the body's organs. This rapidly transforms the organism into a corpse, causing it to lose consciousness and all other functions, taking on the appearance of a corpse. However, the infected nervous system remains active, controlling the organism's movements, attacks, and other behaviors.

For example, once Xiao A is infected, he is no longer Xiao A. He is dead and his body becomes a puppet of the infectious factor.

When Qiao Lan and the herd fled out of the city, Pigeon Huihui estimated that there were nearly a thousand armed zombies on the battle front.

But now, when Qiao Lan returned to the city, he found that there were more than a thousand zombies, tens of thousands, or even more. As far as the eye could see, there were zombies gathering and walking on every street, not only human zombies, but also various mutant beast zombies.

In the direction of the Bloody Dawn base, a building was brightly lit, and the surrounding buildings served as shelters. The sounds of fierce fighting and roars and screams could be heard even by Qiao Lan in the cab.

An isolated island.

At this time in City C, armed zombies and newly mutated zombie minions swept through various urban areas. The survivors who did not have time to escape basically gathered at the Crimson Dawn Base for a joint resistance.

This is the last fortress in the city.

Qiao Lan flew over the base and just saw a large group of zombies knocking down a two-story building. The survivors inside were running in all directions and shouting in panic.

"Cai Jinbao! Lead your men to run to the left!"

Qiao Lan turned on the loudspeaker equipped on the fighter plane and shouted.

Then he hovered the fighter plane in the air, took out his rifle, jumped out of the cockpit, and squatted on one knee on the back of the bird.

Bang, bang...

Without panic, he fired one shot after another, steadily and steadily.

Every time a shot was fired, a zombie that was attacking humans would fall down and be killed by a headshot.

"Qiao, Mr. Qiao!?"

On the ground, Cai Jinbao, the base's logistics manager and former grain store owner, looked at the majestic bird in the sky with surprise.

Tears streamed down my face instantly, I couldn't believe my eyes.

It’s Mr. Qiao!

"Boss Qiao is back! Boss Qiao! She's stepping on auspicious clouds... no! She's stepping on a giant bird to save us!!"
