Chapter 106: Experimental School

”I didn’t expect people to come,” Sun Jiao said in disbelief.

”Expected,” Jiang Chen said in a sluggish tone, but it did surprise him that so many people showed up.

Sun Jiao rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen and didn’t respond.

There was a total of 59 people following them after the incident occurred. They were all worried about their homes. So, most of the survivor groups decided to let half of the people take the crystals with them home, while the others took their rifles and ammo to help.

The plan was for the Fishbone force to be the primary force as the power armor has a huge advantage against light weapons.

Ma Zhongchen led 8 people as the second unit to attack the corners where power armors would not be able to hit. Also, they would act as the defense against the anti-armor weapons.

The remaining 50 people were split into two groups, surrounding the experimental school from the west and east. There was no need to attack as they only needed to take cover behind the building. If the primary force received too much resistance, then they only needed to pretend to attack to distract the enemy. If they escape, they can then cut off their escape route.

Jiang Chen led the primary force along the street. They were getting closer to the Huizhong Mercenaries’ base. The sky turned into a dim orange as dusk approached, and the zombies started to become unsettled. The group, familiar with the situation, smashed the zombies onto the ground with their dagger to avoid any trouble during the crossfire.

Songjiang area was not disturbed by the x2 virus. The zombies were still weak during the day, and there were no crystals in the back of their heads.

The crooked experimental school sign was thrown into the corner of the street as the corrosion left its words barely visible. From afar, the metal frames were still visible, along with the barbed wall.

It did not resemble a school at all. It looked like a dirt fortress more than Jiang Chen’s mansion.

”Is there any more high energy vacuum bombs?” Ma Zhongchen asked Jiang Chen in an undertone.

Those bombs were most effective against humans.

”No, it’s hard to get those,” Jiang Chen replied.

Zhao Chenwu probably didn’t even have a lot of those lethal weapons to begin with. While the bomb and the launch pad was not hard to make, the concentrated fuel probably was hard to come by. The ones he sold to Jiang Chen were probably the few remaining batches.

Usually, survival camps would not start conflicts among themselves since the geographic distance was a hindrance, and also no one was interested in the land itself. The high lethal to human high energy vacuum bombs were raided from a military factory now in shambles. Its uses were limited to deterrence in the early stage. Now, it was no longer necessary as their force and reputation have already been established.

Zhao Gang stood silently on the side, his eyes locked on to the gate. The other seven survivors were also spread out behind the cover.

”Prepare to attack,” Sun Jiao ordered. She opened the armored truck, lifted the angry looking Lin Lin out, and threw her onto the ground.

Jiang Chen was quite intrigued in the bad-tempered digitalized human and ripped off the tape from her mouth.

”Pei, pei, pei! You dare to …” Just as she was about to go on a rampage, Sun Jiao glanced at her, and the once ”aggressive” voice suddenly turned into a faint mutter.

Seeing that Lin Lin was quiet, Sun Jiao didn’t bother with her anymore. She then took out the 72mm anti-tank cannon. This thing was a destructive beast, anyone hiding behind the cover would get blown apart.

Lin Lin trembled as she saw the vicious looking long barrel in the ”devil’s hands”. Her teeth were clearly chattering.

”Don’t worry, that thing is too long for you. We won’t use it on you.” Her frightened look made Jiang Chen tease her more.

Sun Jiao rolled her eyes, and then threateningly aimed the barrel in Lin Lin’s direction before aiming the barrel forward.

Lin Lin was scared to death by her action, but because she was tied down, she could only shake her body, unable to run.

”Don’t be nervous, we just want you to see what the world is really like,” Jiang Chen said casually as he stood beside Lin Lin.

He took out a dagger to cut the ropes around her body. He then said, with a smirk in his voice, into Lin Lin’s ear, ”You better not bother Sun Jiao. When she is angry, she even ties me up.”

Sun Jiao gave Jiang Chen a dirty look, as she rebutted in the private channel.

”Am I that violent!”

[Yes. Normal people would not tie up someone they've just met.]

But Jiang Chen only said that in his mind, or else it would have been an endless argument again.

”Prepare for battle. Oh, even if we untied you, it is safer for you to stay in the armored vehicle. You can look outside through the camera.

He estimated that the two teams surrounding the experimental school should be in place. So, he ordered the power armored soldiers to quickly engage in battle stance and prepare to attack.

”I feel something is off,” Ma Zhongchen, who had kept his silence, spoke out abruptly and then stared at the direction of the door with a frown on his face. ”No one is guarding. We are already this close, and they don’t have any reaction at all.”

”That’s how I feel too. It is a ritual to leave a guard at the bandits’ base.” Sun Jiao peaked out of the cover with her feet locked to the ground and aimed the barrel at the thick metal gate. She then turned around and looked at Jiang Chen. ”Engage?”

Just as she finished her sentence, there was a massive explosion from afar.

”What’s happening?” Jiang Chen was at a loss.

Did the surrounding team expose themselves?

”Fire! Attack!” [Can’t wait anymore!]

Jiang Chen immediately ordered an attack.

”Roger, attack commences!” Sun Jiao calmly pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The orange flame fired out as the bomb smashed into the metal gate 400 meters out, leaving a violent explosion.

The shell of the bomb dropped onto the ground.

Sun Jiao didn’t stop as she stabilized the cannon and fired another round.

Boom!

The metal gate was blown out, and Jiang Chen immediately led the power armor soldiers to charge. Ma Zhongchen also commanded the light infantry to join in the fray. The armored vehicle followed as the vicious 20mm machine gun pointed directly at the gate.

Attack commences!

Sun Jiao unlocked her feet to the ground and moved along with the anti-tank cannon.

But unlike their expectation, resistance didn’t arrive. The gun shots in the distance still continued with an occasional explosion, but it did not seem to come from the west or the east. The power armored soldiers led the charge, followed by the light infantry.

”Quick! Get in there.”
