The ground trembled in waves, and the rumbling sound vaguely reached the ears of the people at Shannan Base.
Some people wanted to stand up and check in panic, but were pulled back by others.
"Don't look around. Isn't life pretty good now?"
The people who stood up thought it made sense. The newly arrived Leader Ye was indeed capable, with planes and tanks even arriving. It wouldn't be unexpected for something else to happen.
But they still tossed and turned, unable to understand why there were train sounds within the base.
********
Mu Haiyang lay on the bed inside the vault, surrounded by a wall built of golden bricks.
Lying here used to make him feel the immense power of wealth and put him in an incredibly joyful mood.
But now, he felt not the slightest joy brought by this gold.
He didn't know when the people from Quancheng would arrive.
He wasn't sure if they would come at all.
But he could only comfort himself, believing they would come to eliminate Ye Fan.
Then he could use this gold and silver to surrender to Quancheng's Meng Liang and obtain a good position and status.
Hoping they would come quickly, though the vault was sturdy, he didn't want to stay here forever.
He reached for the water cup on the table to have a drink.
Suddenly, he noticed that the water in the cup was trembling slightly.
"Hmm... what's going on?"
Mu Haiyang got up and felt some vibrations.
"Could it be an earthquake? No, this isn't an earthquake zone."
He went to the ventilation opening and listened attentively.
"Clang clang~~~!"
The urgent sound was getting closer and closer.
"Could I be having auditory hallucinations? Did that train leave such a deep impression on me that I can still hear its sounds now?"
"No! Why is this sound getting louder?"
He rubbed his ears hard, his heart extraordinarily restless.
"How is it possible? How is it possible? At Shannan Base, trains absolutely cannot come here because there are no railroads. Even if Ye Fan were a heavenly being, it's impossible to lay tracks to the mountain in such a short time."
"But what's with this sound? Is someone intentionally playing it? What's the point?"
The ground trembled more violently, and the sound was very close now.
Mu Haiyang's heart palpitated as he went to the iron door, trying to listen more clearly.
In an instant, a chill ran down his spine.
Rumble~~~~!
Amid the deafening noise, the enormous iron door, once thought impregnable, flew through the air!
The steel bars welded into the walls on both sides of the door were instantly pulled out.
Dust and debris filled the air!
Mu Haiyang couldn't dodge in time, and the entire individual was lifted by the door!
Whoosh~~~!
The immense gust of wind swept by, and the iron door slammed into the opposite wall like a cannonball!
This ten-ton colossal iron door directly flattened Mu Haiyang!
To his dying breath, he couldn't understand how Ye Fan managed to achieve this, crashing the iron door open.
What kind of vehicle was that?
He would never know the answer.
********
In the north.
Huacheng City.
The white snow blanketed the earth, adding a moment of tranquility to this bloody world.
A giant eagle spread its wings, gliding between the abandoned city buildings.
Its wingspan reached six meters long, the ruler of this piece of sky.
Neither birds nor zombies posed any threat to it.
The snowstorm made it hard to forage in the mountains, so it left the forest and came to the city.
When hungry, it didn't mind eating a couple of zombies, although their flesh was stinky and tough, at least it was a bite of meat.
Confident and proud, it wasn't afraid of zombies, as long as it didn't get close to those red crawling zombies, little could threaten it.
It glided over a section of the city, recalling in its memory a large pit ahead caused by a falling stone from the sky.
Turning a corner past the buildings, the eagle trembled involuntarily!
It was a scene so terrifying it inspired despair!
From this side of the meteor crater to the end of the sightline, zombies packed as densely as an ocean!
The heavy stench of blood couldn't be dispersed even by the biting cold wind!
Stranger still, these obviously living zombies made no sound!
They sensed the eagle, lifted their heads, their senses tracking it, yet none of them moved!
This eerie scene made the eagle feel fear.
Hesitant, it wanted to flee but felt the numerous zombies posed no threat to it.
Driven by instinct, it spread its wings to circle in the air.
Suddenly!
It noticed the rooftops ahead were crowded with countless mutated birds!
The sheer number formed a solid black, so dense that it initially didn't even notice.
Witnessing this, the eagle was instantly terrified; it dared not linger, turning swiftly to escape skyward.
Within the horde of zombies, a five-meter tall zombie raised its head!
It was a Tyrannosaurus Zombie.
The Tyrannosaurus Zombie is the evolved form of the King Kong Zombie, having evolved into a Level 3 Advanced Zombie, its body covered with bone spikes and scales, resembling more a beast from an Otherworld than a normal creature.
In the arms of the Tyrannosaurus Zombie, a small-headed zombie looked up at the sky.
Little One!
Little One had changed significantly from a month ago.
Its head had grown bigger, the metal bucket of old now stretched, like a metal basin covering its head.
A pair of crimson eyes gazed at the eagle, the corner of Little One's mouth slightly twitched.
It didn't know what expression it should make, but it had already thought of making an expression.
This was a pretty good big bird.
The red light in its eyes flickered slightly!
The eagle in the sky was struck as if by lightning!
Its flying body swayed twice, and then it started to plummet.
But the fall was short-lived; soon, the eagle stabilized, drawing an arc in the air, and flew directly to Little One's side.
Then it hovered and ascended again, flying to the top of a high building.
A group of Mutated Birds gave way to the eagle, providing a prominent spot for this relatively powerful aerial ruler to rest.
Little One leapt down from the Tyrannosaurus Zombie.
Apart from this Tyrannosaurus, there were more than two hundred King Kong Zombies surrounding it!
There were over three hundred Crawlers!
As Little One jumped down, a massive creature lying beside the King Kong Zombie shook and stood up.
It was a giant Siberian tiger over ten meters long!
Little One jumped onto the Siberian tiger, sensing the incredible power of this colossal creature.
It had finally become powerful.
Twenty days ago, after devouring an unknown amount of flesh and blood, Little One broke through the barrier that restricted it, becoming a Level 3 Command Zombie.
From that moment, it could control large birds, control large Mutant Beasts.
Moreover, the number it controlled increased sharply; Little One could currently command up to three million zombies!
The horde it controlled exceeded two million now, with the ability to control twenty thousand new zombies or Mutant Beasts every day.
It was still waiting, waiting for the moment when its power reached its peak.
That moment would be when it went to seek revenge on that human!
********
As the armored train crashed into the iron gate, Ye Fan watched from a distance, still able to feel that astonishing power.
The engine of this armored train was much heavier than a regular train, with a total weight of three hundred tons.
At a speed of 220 kilometers per hour, this iron gate was nothing.
It directly knocked the gate off, and the front armor of the train even crashed into the wall of the treasury.
The whole front of the train was heavily dented, and the carriage jolted fiercely!
Fortunately, it didn't derail.
Luckily, when the collision occurred, the people inside the train had secured themselves at the back, so they were not seriously harmed.
The newly manufactured multifunctional armored vehicle immediately moved forward, the large metal arms emitting a stream of white light to start repairs.
This is the advantage of Red Alert machinery; as long as it's not shattered, it can mostly be repaired.
The metal arms operated for over ten minutes, and the vehicle could operate again, and the dents were significantly restored.
The armored train began to reverse along the railway line, returning to the station.
Ye Fan stood on the head of the train, starting to rapidly reclaim the section of railway near the base.
Even if someone saw it, it wouldn't have too much of an impact, but Ye Fan still didn't intend to let anyone other than system soldiers know about this magical event.
He followed the train back to the station, reclaiming all the railways made by the railway system, before taking a helicopter back to the base.
Standing before the treasury door, Ye Fan took a deep breath.
Finally secured it!
Mu Haiyang, in a way, did something good; at least he saved Ye Fan a lot of trouble, collecting the gold from Golden City and Dragon Gate Region in advance.
At the moment the train crashed into the door, the light representing Mu Haiyang disappeared, evidently crushed by the iron gate.
After entering, Ye Fan couldn't even find Mu Haiyang's people, only the bloodstains and flattened clothes proving he once existed.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth. At least you should be thankful that you didn't turn into a zombie after your death."
He called in the Flamethrower Warriors, who directly incinerated Mu Haiyang's remains to ashes, cleaned up, and then Ye Fan looked inside the room.
A large space filled with many plastic-wrapped foods and barrels of drinking water.
There were restrooms and a bed; this was Mu Haiyang's refuge.
Besides these items, nothing else but scraps were present.
Except for the Gold!
More Gold!
The shiny golden light made Ye Fan's eyes a bit dazzled.
Though Ye Fan hadn't seen much of the world's scenery, he believed no other scenery could compare to what he saw before him.
Since the apocalypse began, since he started collecting gold and silver, he had never seen so much money.
Even capturing Qinghe Town couldn't compare to this scene before him.
Too much money!
Especially by Mu Haiyang's bed, surrounded by a Wall of Golden Bricks!
"Could this guy be born in the year of the dragon? Does he have a penchant for collecting gold?"
His left eye even emitted a faint green light, like a wolf in the subway.
