Chapter 855 Kings Bay Naval Base
Chapter 855 Kings Bay Naval Base
Just as Spark City entered its expansion and development phase, some survivor communities and bases in the north were also growing and developing.
Some survivor communities have settled in a corner, built a wall around themselves, thinking they can avoid the zombies, and have even started to engage in politics.
Some survivor bases can only survive due to the lack of necessary armed forces and may be destroyed by large numbers of zombies at any time.
There are also some survivor organizations that, after having a certain amount of armed force, began to collect protection fees from surrounding survivor organizations.
There are even some extreme survivor organizations that disguise themselves as zombies, mingle among the zombie hordes, and manipulate the zombie hordes to dominate an area.
In the end times, the complexity of human nature is fully displayed. When the last food is consumed, the living people may also use their own kind as food in order to continue to survive.
After all, compared to the danger of going outside to look for food, hunting one's own kind is always safer.
These days, the Spark City Guards have also discovered several gathering places of survivors in southern Georgia, including organizations of survivors who killed each other after their supplies ran out.
In the blink of an eye, it is already summer.
While Xinghuo City was busy clearing out the zombies, it also started harvesting crops.
Last fall, Spark City planted a lot of grains and vegetables on the surrounding land and nearby farms. Due to manpower and safety issues, some farms farther away simply planted the seeds without much management.
But even if we rely on the weather, as long as the planted area is large enough, we can harvest enough food.
In this harvest season, Rick's wife Lori finally gave birth to a child.
In the original series, when Lori gave birth, the main characters had just entered the prison and there was no medical and sanitary conditions. In the end, Maggie directly cut open Lori's belly and took the baby out, and Lori died as a result.
Now, Xinghuo City has established a professional hospital with various medical conditions and sufficient medicine reserves. Luo Li naturally gave birth to the child safely.
This child is the first baby born in Spark City. He has unique significance in such a doomsday environment and brings great confidence to the survivors of Spark City.
Before, many people were afraid to have children because they were worried that their offspring would not be able to survive well in such an environment.
Now, with the vivid example of Rick’s family, it has set a good example for everyone.
After the child was born safely, a wave of matchmaking marriages swept through Xinghuo City, with many adult men and women spontaneously combining together to form families and prepare to have children.
However, there is also a piece of news that makes Rick unhappy. According to the blood type of the child born by Lori, the child should not be Rick's, but Sean's.
But Lori obviously didn't want the child to recognize Sean as his father, and Rick also treated the child as his own.
Although Sean knew that the child was his, he had no way to fight for custody of the child. He could only look at the child from afar every time he returned to Spark City.
Soon after, Xinghuo City completed the harvest of winter wheat and planted various crops such as corn, peanuts, soybeans, and cotton on the surrounding land.
During this period, when the Starfire City Guards were out clearing out the zombies, they also rescued some survivors from a privately built bunker, including the brother and sister "Hammer God" Tyrese and "Black Widow" Sasha, who were the protagonists of the original series.
This pair of siblings can be considered as people who have been able to maintain their humanity in the end times and still have a certain level of fighting ability.
Of course, there is no shortage of such talents in the current Spark City. After joining Spark City, the two were assigned to suitable positions and became members of Spark City.
At this time, the reconnaissance team sent by Lu Cheng to the north towards Washington also sent back some news that they had found a community called Alexandria.
"City Lord, we met Alexandria's recruitment officer Aaron more than 300 kilometers to the north. He invited us to join the Alexandria community and live with them. In order to find out the situation of this community, Captain John agreed to the invitation and sneaked into the community.
There are currently about 80 people in the Alexander community, including many elderly people and children. The entire society maintains a normal order, has perfect medical care and welfare, and children can receive education. However, their sources of supplies are mainly collected outside..."
The Alexandria community, together with Hilltop and Kingdom of God, are known as the three major communities of "The Walking Dead". In the later period, they formed an alliance with each other, united against external forces, and jointly fought against the Saviors led by Negan.
But such a community is somewhat inferior in today's Xinghuo City.
The so-called war of the three major communities against the "Salvation Army" was nothing more than a battle between villages. The total number of participants from the several forces might not be as many as the number of the current guards of Spark City.
"You should pay more attention to the situation around Washington, find out how many survivor bases there are, and then understand their general situation."
Alexander was far away in Virginia, hundreds of kilometers away from Spark City, and couldn't take care of it for the time being.
However, the people in the Alexander community are indeed a group of lucky people. The community was originally a high-end residential area that had just been built before the end of the world. It had an independent and complete water and electricity system. Even now, they still live the same life as before the end of the world.
It is also because of this that the people in the Alexandria community have not yet experienced the true end of the world. They have been hiding in a corner of the community and have not even placed any patrol sentries on the surrounding walls.
It was indeed sheer luck that allowed those people to survive until now.
Of course, their good luck will not last long.
There is a valley near the Alexandria community, where tens of thousands of zombies gather.
On one side is a high-end community with no fighting power, and on the other side is a horde of terrifying zombies. Once those zombies break through the defense, the consequences can be imagined.
At this moment, a helicopter flew back from the southeast and landed on the helipad of Spark City.
Soon, a corporal officer came to Lu Cheng and said, "Sir, we have found the exact location of the Kings Bay Naval Base. There are currently more than 8,000 zombies gathered there... Currently, there are six submarines docked at the base port. The main facilities of the entire base are intact and have not been damaged..."
After hearing all the news, Lu Cheng immediately prepared to go to the naval base in person to check out the situation.
Kings Bay Naval Base is the most advanced strategic nuclear submarine home port of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. It is home to submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are the real killer weapons.
A Trident II can carry 12 independently targetable nuclear warheads, each of which is equivalent to 48 tons of TNT, enough to destroy a medium-sized city.
If a million zombies were gathered in a city, a single shot from the Trident II would be enough to completely destroy it...
The next morning, Lu Cheng took a helicopter and flew to Kings Bay Naval Base.
This naval base originally had people stationed there, but after the chaos broke out, it quickly fell, with only a very small number of survivors escaping.
Afterwards, another group of zombies wandered out, and there were more than 8,000 zombies left in the entire base.
The helicopter flew over an office building and hovered, and Lu Cheng directly descended to the roof of the office building.
The helicopter then circled the entire naval base, attracting all the zombies hiding in the base and guiding them outside through sound.
After more than half an hour, there were not many zombies left in the base. Lu Cheng ordered the helicopter to leave temporarily and stop in a safe location, waiting for his next order.
Since it was not suitable to use heavy weapons in the naval base, Lu Cheng took out the various guns he carried with him and began to quickly clear out the remaining zombies in the base.
After working for more than an hour, Lu Cheng cleared out all the remaining zombies in the base, and also got to know the situation of the entire base.
This naval base has Ohio-class nuclear submarines, Trident II strategic missiles, and stores many nuclear warheads. Its defense is naturally very tight, with all kinds of advanced equipment such as air defense radars, air defense missiles, helicopters, etc.
There are also various light and heavy weapons equipped by ground garrison troops.
However, the more sophisticated and heavy the weapons are, the more long-term maintenance they require.
Now that a year has passed since the outbreak of the apocalypse, it remains to be carefully examined whether the missiles here can be used.
After clearing out the zombies, Lu Cheng came to the base command center, found the base's backup energy source, and activated it, allowing some of the base's functions to resume operation.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng used advanced computer technology and means to invade the command system here and began to understand the situation of the entire base in detail.
Half an hour later, Lu Cheng came to a nuclear submarine parked at the port. He used a knife to kill some zombies in the nuclear submarine, put their bodies into the storage space, took them outside and threw them away.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng began to inspect the USS Tennessee's Ohio-class nuclear submarine inside and out.
The Ohio-class nuclear submarine is more than 170 meters long and has an underwater displacement of more than tons. It can carry up to 4700 nuclear warheads, equivalent to more than Hiroshima atomic bombs, enough to destroy life.
Of course, this Tennessee nuclear submarine is not fully loaded and currently carries six Trident II submarine-launched strategic missiles.
Lu Cheng checked the nuclear submarine several times, mainly checking the weapon launch system, and used identification skills to directly identify the conditions of several missiles.
After groping for a long time, Lu Cheng finally managed to get this huge creature to move and head out of the base.
Fortunately, enough information was obtained from the naval base command in the system, and with the help of artificial intelligence, Lu Cheng was able to take on multiple tasks alone, running back and forth, controlling the power system, steering system, etc.
Some small, miniature nuclear submarines may only require two or three people to start, but large nuclear submarines require a lot of crew members.
After the nuclear submarine left the base, Lu Cheng stopped it temporarily, adjusted its direction, turned on the weapon system, input relevant target instructions, and aimed at Mexico City.
Lu Cheng inserted the two starter keys, entered the relevant instructions, and pressed the ignition button.
In an instant, two Trident II submarine-launched intercontinental missiles flew towards Mexico City, 24 kilometers away, at a speed of Mach .
After doing all this, Lu Cheng immediately controlled the submarine back to the base and left the submarine.
When Lu Cheng returned to the ground, with his keen perception, he immediately noticed a slight tremor coming from the southwest.
At the same time, the number of zombies killed on the system panel instantly increased many times, from the original hundreds of thousands to more than ten million.
The storage space, which was originally less than 251 cubic meters, reached cubic meters in an instant, which is equivalent to a space of two and a half meters high and hundreds of square meters.
Originally, Mexico City had a population of over 2200 million, and this killed more than half of the zombies in one fell swoop.
It’s a pity that this place is more than 1 kilometers away from the capital of Sakura Country, which is almost the limit of the effective range of the Trident II intercontinental ballistic missile, so it is really difficult to ensure the accuracy of the hit.
Moreover, Lu Cheng was still unsure of the consequences of using nuclear bombs, so launching these two intercontinental missiles was just a test of the waters.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng found the arsenal of the base garrison, which contained enough equipment to arm one or two thousand people, and the weapons and ammunition were extremely sufficient.
In addition, there are sufficient military supplies here, including various foods, clothing, etc.
Lu Cheng didn't hesitate to pick out the things he liked and the things that Xinghuo City needed most, and filled up the storage space.
Lu Cheng even loaded a lot of aviation fuel needed for the helicopter.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng directly ordered the helicopter that was waiting to pick him up to return to Xinghuo City. He selected an intact helicopter in the base warehouse and drove the helicopter back to Xinghuo City.
After returning to Xinghuo City, Lu Cheng immediately put all the supplies in the storage space into a newly built spare warehouse.
In the next few days, Lu Cheng flew to the Kings Bay Naval Base by helicopter from time to time and moved back all the usable items there, greatly increasing the material reserves in Spark City.
At the same time, because the nuclear explosion in Mexico City caused too much noise, the zombies within hundreds of kilometers around began to gather towards Mexico City.
Although Lu Cheng was not clear about the situation over there, he had anticipated everything that might happen next.
Perhaps, we can find an opportunity to drop two more intercontinental missiles into Mexico City and kill a lot more zombies.
I don’t know whether the zombies will be affected by nuclear radiation and undergo some changes.
However, the flesh and blood of the zombies will gradually rot, leaving only the brain stem. Even if they are affected by nuclear radiation and undergo some kind of mutation, it should not make them "resurrect from the dead". After all, the effect of nuclear radiation is destructive.
Half a month later, a helicopter flew low over a city in northern Florida, circled the city, and after mobilizing all the zombies in the city, it flew in a certain direction.
More than ten hours later, hundreds of thousands of zombies in the entire city came to the edge of a cliff in a mighty manner. Attracted by the rock music coming from not far below the cliff, they jumped off the cliff one after another.
At the same time, a similar scene was taking place in another city. A large number of zombies were attracted into a pit dug in advance and then burned to ashes by a fire.
With enough helicopters and aviation fuel, Spark City has completely mastered the initiative and can conduct airdrop operations more flexibly, and can also make full use of various favorable terrains to kill zombies on a large scale...
