NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 269 Airplane Crash_1
The zombies Lan Yulian spoke of were a group measuring two to three meters in height, their bodies rippling with muscles, brandishing various pieces of construction debris as weapons—third-order Elite Zombies.
One look told they were of the strength type, and if they reached the base's high walls, they would pose a definite threat.
As for their specific abilities, Wang Tao didn't know, nor did he need to know.
Vroom vroom—
The transport plane slowed down, circling in the air.
The cargo bay doors at the tail slowly opened up, revealing Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue strapped in with safety belts, their hands on the heavy machine guns. Beside them, Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan were holding the ammo belts, ready to load at any moment.
Wang Tao aimed at the group of muscular zombies and fiercely pulled the trigger.
Rat-a-tat—
A surge of flame hit one of the zombies at that very moment.

[-3129]
[-3210]
[...]
In an instant, the zombie's head burst like an overripe watermelon.
To be honest, Wang Tao felt that when dealing with zombies below level 4, the efficiency of the heavy machine gun might be higher than if he were to engage in combat himself.
Especially when flying high above, capable of blowing zombies' heads off, it was simply too exhilarating.
As for drawbacks, fixed-wing aircraft couldn't hover in midair like helicopters. Even with Precision Shooting, this made aiming quite difficult for him.
But Wang Tao thought again—he wasn't short on ammo; there was no need to aim for headshots. A blanket barrage would settle everything!
So, Wang Tao no longer pursued headshots deliberately and just aimed at the group of zombies before pulling the trigger!
Rat-a-tat—
Rat-a-tat—
Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue opened fire together, their twin streams of flame devouring the zombie horde with abandon. Countless numbers floated above the zombies' heads.
The roar of the plane's engines, along with the immense noise of gunfire, attracted a large number of zombies. These zombies followed the plane's movements below, causing some internal chaos within the zombie tide.
In fact, many of the zombies besieging the base below had started to chase after the plane. This was an unexpected blessing for Wang Tao. After all, no matter how these zombies chased, they wouldn't pose a threat to him, and it would lessen the pressure on the base.
"Drop the bombs!"
Wang Tao called out to the others.
He Jijun had previously made some simple Homemade Bombs using materials from the military base. Although these bombs might not be very powerful, they should be no problem to handle the dense zombie crowd below.
Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan immediately started dropping bombs.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The group could clearly see that many zombies were blown to pieces, their flesh scattering everywhere, and even if they didn't die, they were left incapacitated.
Rat-a-tat—
Wang Tao continued to pull the trigger on that group of level three Elite Zombies.
It didn't take much time before Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue had eliminated that group of muscular zombies.
After clearing up this trouble, Wang Tao looked at other areas, covering those zombies he felt were a significant threat with firepower.
Then, the plane flew above Zijin Base, dropping all of the air-dropped supplies.
Wang Tao contacted Lan Yulian once again.
"Jade Lotus, Little Feng, there are a lot of supplies in there, including machine guns. Use them as you see need..."
Seeing the airdrops, Lan Yulian wasn't overly excited; she just seemed somewhat reluctant as she said:
"Wang Tao, are you leaving? You..."
She wanted to see Wang Tao in person but hesitated to trouble him.
"I'd like to come down and see you and Little Feng, but there's nowhere to land!"
Wang Tao said with a bit of helplessness.
Unlike helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft needed airports to land and take off; at the very least, a long, wide road. Zijing City clearly didn't meet these conditions for landing and taking off.
"That's true..."
Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng exchanged glances, each with a tinge of regret in their eyes.
She really wanted to ask how things were on Wang Tao's side, but she didn't voice her question.
Yet Wang Tao seemed to know what she was thinking, and he explained in brief:
"The military base is safe, but there's no one else left except for us. Moreover, Wuyang City nearby has a large number of zombies, even fourth-order Giant Zombies that are dozens of meters high. Obviously, we can't hold it, so we won't be staying at the military base for long. We might return in a few days."
"Ah? Be careful! We'll be waiting for you here!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were somewhat worried and excited. Naturally, they hoped to be with Wang Tao.
"Yeah. Oh, by the way, among the supplies I've airdropped to you, there are ways to contact the military base, both wirelessly and with wires. Since your base was formerly an official organization, you might have reserved some underground cables or the like, and Zijing City isn't too far from the military base, so you can try and see if you can get in touch..."
Wang Tao didn't harbour much hope, but he thought it wouldn't hurt to try.
"Okay!"
After speaking with Lan Yulian for a few more words, he said his goodbyes. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
"Okay, I have to go now. I'll also help you draw away some of the zombies. I'll come back to check on you later..."
"Okay! Make sure you stay safe!"
"You too."
Vroom vroom—
He Jijun had been flying the plane in low circles near Zijing City, attracting a large number of zombies. Now, as he departed, these zombies quickly pursued.
Wang Tao glanced back and saw at least a third of the zombies near the base were drawn away, which should significantly relieve the base's pressure.
After leaving Zijing City, the zombies trailing behind slowly fell back and vanished from sight.
