Apocalypse Cockroach

Chapter 229: Big killing machines

All the zombies hiding in the office buildings or cars were sought out and killed. A dozen subordinates wielded their shields and blades and killed to their hearts’ content. Forming groups of three, they beat the shields with the blades to incite noises and attract the zombies to themselves. As long as they saw any, two of them would run forward and use the shields to hold the zombie down and the third would behead the zombie. It was no exception even with the Type S zombies.

If they encountered zombies that had crowd together, they shouted and called for other groups to gather. They formed a shield formation around the zombies and a few elites with Type 92 pistols would slowly clear the zombies trapped within.

When Zhang Xiao Qiang and the rest arrived at the warehouse with thick doors, Wang Le started introducing it.... Zhang Xiao Qiang suddenly turned and looked towards a 3-story building 100 meters away from them. The building looked old with the cement surface layer already turning black. Countless of withered Japanese creepers had covered the entire surface. Even the old wooden windows were densely filled with the creepers with a thick pile of leaves.

From one of the wooden windows, the Japanese Creeps had coincidentally formed two finger-sized cracks. Behind the cracks was a pair of turbid eyes looking out.

After the torment previously, Zhang Xiao Qiang’s eyes had become invisible binoculars, with a glance, he caught a pair of eyes watching them.

The owner of the pair of eyes did not believe that anyone could see him, and continued looking at Zhang Xiao Qiang.

“What’s that building for?” Zhang Xiao Qiang asked Wang Le, till now, zombies did not have proper vision and humans were the only ones capable of utilizing sight, humans that were alive.

“That building was already there when the factory was being built, I think it was an office building meant for the Soviet Union people. After they returned home, it became the main office building before being refurbished into a dormitory. It seems that the humidity there isn’t too good to stay in, during the 80s, the factory built a new dormitory and this building was left empty. A few youngsters claimed that it was haunted, it’s abandoned and hardly anyone goes there.”

Zhang Xiao Qiang thought about it. If no one’s been there, means there’s no zombie there. He looked at the standalone building and noticed a small trail into the forest with shrubs at both sides with traces of twigs broken. He pointed to the small forest and asked, “Where does that lead to?”

“That’s the cafeteria, there’s a small trail in the forest that can lead us to the back door of the kitchen...”

The doors were forced open. The locks were already rusted, so Zhang Xiao Qiang used an explosive and burst the door open. He knew there were no explosives inside and was not afraid of being blown to smithereens. The explosion attracted a few hundred zombies from the darkness. This time, Zhang Xiao Qiang did not make a move. He let Guo Fei and Yang Ke’er handle the zombies. Guo Fei used the blade that Liu Tou used, which was able to slice a rifle in two.

The warehouse was clean with little dust on the ground. Upon entering, they were greeted by 9 sets of four-wheeled Type 56 Quad barrel AA Gun that had been covered tightly by dark green tarpaulins. From their barrel size, everyone could tell how sinister they were. After checking closely, they realized that it was 3 sets of Type 56 Quad Barrel AA Guns and 6 sets of Type 58 Dual AA Guns.

Zhang Xiao Qiang looked around and discovered a pile of crates covered in galvanized iron sheets in the corner. There were plenty of them, about 20 to 30. Looking at them, Zhang Xiao Qiang thought of something, “Could it be that there’s no ammunition here?”

“All of those crates are the reserve gun barrels that will be swapped out for the hot gun barrels. There are also a few components that are easy to wear and tear, all of these are rather new. In the future, we won’t have to worry about having no replacement parts....” Wang Le introduced the crates to Zhang Xiao Qiang.

Pieces of dark green tarpaulin laid on the floor, one of the Type-56 Quad Barrel AA Gun revealed itself, its green barrel and seat, the four jet-black gun barrels gleamed with its glossy jet black and two large ammunition crates beside it. The four thick rubber tires supported the thick and heavy base plate that had two jacks by the sides of the chassis.

The Type 58 Dual Barrel AA Guns did not look inferior to the Type 56 Quad Barrels AA Guns, with two Type 56 14.5mm AA barrels, the Type 58 Quad Barrel AA Gun’s precision lens and two frames that were also painted green attached to two large wheels.

All of the AA guns were maintained to perfect condition. All they had to do was to wipe the entire guns with gun oil. Zhang Xiao Qiang inspected the absolute killing machine in front of him, while Wang Le could no longer wait and brought a few men to dismantle the Type 56 Quad Barrel AA Gun’s gun barrel for immediate maintenance to be used as and when they want.

Zhang Xiao Qiang did not stop Wang Le’s enthusiasm, no one knew when would be the next moment they encounter danger in the dangerous apocalypse, with a few extra means, with large caliber guns that could fire at any time was an additional insurance.

The Type 56 AA Gun replaced the gun barrel with recoil-operation. Wang Le easily separated the 130mm gun barrel from the spiral notch. Throughout the process, Wang Le generously layered the parts with gun oil. He diligently handed over a gun barrel over to Zhang Xiao Qiang to see.

On the gun barrel were English Alphabets, ZUP-4. Zhang Xiao Qiang looked at the excited Wang Le in confusion. Wang Le, “This was made in the Soviet Union, China bought it from them to fight against Korea, it is not made in China....”

Seeing Wang Le’s excitement, Zhang Xiao Qiang was speechless, could it be that China’s products are that bad? But that’s true.... In that era, China was unable to produce the steel for such a gun barrel...Wang Le found a cotton cloth and went over the gun barrel to remove the gun oil, looking at the glistening gun barrel preserved to its best state, he took out a heavy from a member’s bag and filled up two crates worth of ammunition, then pulled the extremely thick and heavy 14.5mm bandolier onto the gun body. This Type 56 AA gun was revived.

“DA DA DA....” The sound of the Type 56 Assault Rifle could be heard in the distance. Wang Le looked at Zhang Xiao Qiang in shock, while Zhang Xiao Qiang looked back at him emotionlessly. The other members all looked to the outside.

Not long later, Three led more than 10 men suppressing a group of shabby clothed men and women over. Upon seeing the malnutrition group, Wang Le immediately became emotional.

There was a total of 50 people, aged from 21 to 50. More than 10 women made Zhang Xiao Qiang surprised, although they looked thin and on severe malnutrition like the other men, their skin had long dulled due to not being taken care of, their lips were pale and white, but they by far the ones with the best complexion aside from the women Zhang Xiao Qiang saw in the cave being protected by the police.
