Dragon Transformation in the Apocalypse

Chapter 235 Decapitation Operation (Part 2)

Early the next morning, Feng Tian, ​​Zheng Yong, and the others arrived at the command vehicle. Upon entering, they were surprised to find two Li Chenglongs standing there. Zheng Yong asked in surprise, "What's going on?" Li Chenglong explained the whole situation, and Zhao Liying then deactivated her transformation, revealing her true form. Feng Tian exclaimed in amazement, "They look so alike! They really do look so alike! I wouldn't have recognized them if you hadn't told me!"

Zhao Liying laughed and said, "The appearance can be made to look exactly the same, and even the psionic energy can be imitated to some extent, but it will be exposed as soon as the skills are used." While everyone was chatting casually, an officer from the information support department came over to report, "Reporting to the commander, according to our reconnaissance unit, the zombies have begun their operation and will arrive at our position in about an hour."

Li Chenglong immediately replied, "Okay, I understand. Tell the reconnaissance team to retreat according to the original plan. Also, sound the alarm and notify all soldiers to prepare for battle." Then he looked at the people in the command vehicle and said, "Comrades, we will proceed according to the original plan." Everyone saluted Li Chenglong in unison, wishing him a successful start.

Li Chenglong changed his clothes, got out of the car discreetly, and walked towards the rear of the position without taking anyone with him. Zhao Liying transformed into Li Chenglong in front of everyone, and walked out of the command vehicle with the others towards the front line.

Upon reaching the spaceship, the four were already prepared. Li Chenglong shook hands with each of them and then boarded the spaceship first. Actually, this spaceship wasn't very large. Among all the flying vehicles currently owned by the Dawn City Air Force, apart from the armed helicopters, these two γ-type spaceships were the smallest, and could only seat a maximum of 10 people.

Looking at his watch, Li Chenglong told the four men, "We have to wait until the battle starts before we can set off. Otherwise, if we leave too early, we'll be discovered by the zombies sooner or later. And once the battle begins, it will be easier to find the enemy command post." After saying that, he leaned back in his chair to rest, so that he could be in peak condition when the battle started.

An hour later, the forward positions could see the vast army of zombies covering the mountains through binoculars. The zombies advanced in neat formations, with each square containing 300 zombies. Wu Gang roughly estimated that at least 20 zombies had reached the Nanchang position, which meant that there should be 10 to 15 zombies at the Yingtan position.

Battle was imminent, and without any probing, both sides began a fierce fight. Li Chenglong could hear the intense gunfire in the distance from his spaceship. He immediately ordered, "Depart immediately, fly as high as possible, and let me know once you find the command post."

Lu Xin immediately pressed several buttons in a row, and then began to lift the spaceship up. Qin Mengyao checked the spaceship's flight status through the instrument panel, while He Yu checked the ground situation through the large screen. He Shuangshuang was originally in charge of the weapon control system, but since she wasn't fighting this time, she stayed there to help He Yu, trying to find the zombie army's command post as soon as possible.

To avoid detection by flying zombies and zombie birds, the spaceship reached an altitude of 20,000 meters and activated its stealth capabilities. Fortunately, the spaceship was very powerful; even at 20,000 meters, He Yu and He Shuangshuang could clearly see the ground situation through the side screens.

Almost every soldier on the ground was engaged in battle. Thanks to the supplies Yunqian had delivered yesterday, the soldiers had gained the confidence to fight a sustained battle. Various crystal grenades and crystal bombs were constantly being thrown out, and those with long-range attack skills were also using their expertise to continuously kill the attacking zombies and zombie beasts. The Rocket Squad behind them were not idle either, with various artillery pieces firing wildly. Yesterday, under Li Chenglong's instructions, Yunqian brought four crystal beam cannons that Yunlan had exchanged through the main control computer, so that the Rocket Squad could exchange them and ensure that the firepower would not be interrupted.

In yesterday's discussion, the Rocket Force was voted on to change its name to Rocket Regiment. After all, the Rocket Regiment currently only has more than 500 people and dozens of various artillery pieces and crystal beam cannons. Calling it an army is a bit too exaggerated. So, it was simply renamed Rocket Regiment, with everything else remaining unchanged. The Rocket Regiment is under the direct command of the military.

After searching for more than twenty minutes, He Yu excitedly reported, "Director Li, we've found what appears to be the zombie army's command post." Since Li Chenglong was the director of the Dawn City Central Computer Office, and Zhao Liying was the deputy director, it was reasonable for He Yu to address him as Director Li. Li Chenglong opened his eyes, walked to the screen on the right, and saw a dozen huge tents on the top of a small hill, with the central tent appearing particularly enormous. There were numerous zombies surrounding the tent; judging by their clothing, their level was certainly not low, and the defenses were so tight that it was most likely the enemy's command post.

Lu Xin immediately spoke up: "Director, should we descend? We can't open the hatch at this altitude." Li Chenglong smiled and said: "No need, thank you for your trouble. Just fly the spaceship back to Dawn City. If anyone asks, just say you're going on a training mission. I'm leaving." After saying that, his whole body flashed red light and he appeared outside the spaceship. Then, under the watchful eyes of the four people, he rapidly descended towards the ground.

The spaceship lingered at high altitude for a short while before accelerating away from the airspace and flying over the Dawn Army's position. Lü Xin sent a message to Zhao Liying using the encrypted communication system used in the office before leaving. Yun Lan, on the other hand, noticed something amiss. When she checked the situation in Dawn City using Lilith today, she discovered that Liu Xiaolian and Wang Xiao, who were on duty in the computer office yesterday, were still on duty today, and Zhao Liying was also absent. She checked the records of people entering and leaving Dawn City and was shocked to find that last night, without her permission, the Dawn City Air Force had conducted a spaceship deployment mission. Most importantly, the γ-type spaceship had not yet returned.

She immediately made a phone call, and Yuan Ang replied, "We conducted night flight training as planned last night, but the Gamma-type spacecraft experienced some malfunctions. It has now been repaired and is returning. We will provide a detailed report upon our return." Yun Lan knew that the Dawn City Air Force had indeed been conducting night training recently, so she didn't say much. She wasn't worried about anything happening; with Lilith and the Dawn City Defense Department and Security Department there, nothing would happen to Dawn City.

Li Chenglong was falling faster than freefall, struggling to summon his belt as he descended, transforming into his armored form. He planned to launch a surprise attack, delivering a devastating blow to the zombie command base. This was the result of his recent training. When El and Tris gave him the Dragon Pattern Belt, he discovered, through the instructions given by Teacher Reina, that the belt was mostly made of Izamre metal and could be fused with G-Crystals. After much effort, he finally absorbed the belt into his body, and the G-Crystal was embedded in it, forming the complete armored belt form.

Although the fusion process was extremely painful—it took Li Chenglong an entire night to integrate the belt into his body and embed the G-crystal—the pain was worthwhile. Now he could transform anytime, anywhere, without having to remove the dragon-patterned belt as before. Now, with just a thought, the belt would appear on his body, and he could transform.
