Chapter 45 One Sheep, Three Ways to Eat It
"Forget it, let's try the old method first."
Lorraine thought for a long time but couldn't think of any other way, so he could only record the location and then send Rainbow 1 back first.
While Rainbow 1 was returning, Lorraine went to the warehouse, took out an alarm clock, and set a countdown according to Rainbow 1's return time.
After Rainbow One was fully charged, Lorraine fixed the alarm clock to the belly of Rainbow One.
Watching Rainbow 1 fly into the distance, Lorraine returned to the cockpit, turned the ship around, and slowly headed downstream.
"Ouyang Nian, go check the ammunition supply for the 30mm cannon. I'll adjust the main gun."
"immediately."
Ouyang Nian reset the 30mm cannon and then went to the stern to check the ammunition supply system and ammunition reserves.
Lorraine then double-checked the firing tables for the 85mm main gun.
"Tiangou, Baizhi, and Diting, remember to find a place to hide when the cannons turn around later."
Lorraine called out to the three little ones on the foredeck.
"learn."
At this moment, Ouyang Nian also returned to the driver's seat.
"Everything's normal, ammunition is sufficient. What's the next step?"
Ouyang Nian inquired about Luo Lin's plans.
"First, let Rainbow 1 lure them all to the edge of the level 1 area and try to let them go in and scout ahead."
Lorraine's current thinking is simple: safety is the top priority.
What is known now is that there is a group of lizards in the water that can spit water jets, but they are currently unaware of the threats on land.
Lorraine also took a quick look at the intelligence system; all the intelligence was waiting to be updated, and the earliest would be in five hours.
"What if they get attacked by zombies from a level 1 area?"
Ouyang Nian raised a question.
"Based on our previous experience, I suspect they simply don't dare to enter the Level 1 area."
A single giant zombie king could suppress an entire horde of alien zombies; Lorraine did not believe that the leader of a level one region could not suppress the zombies of a level zero region.
"If we're sure they won't dare enter the level 1 area, then lure them to the riverbank. Kill the horde leader first."
"What if this little bit of blood isn't enough to attract the lizards from underwater?"
Hearing Ouyang Nian's question, Luo Lin looked at her with some surprise.
"I never intended to get close to them from the beginning. I don't know how many lizards are in the water, nor do I know their killing ability. There's no need to risk my life."
Lorraine took a sip of water to moisten her throat and continued.
"Anyway, these sheep are going to die, so it's a good opportunity to test the new main gun on them. I don't believe the aftershocks of the high-explosive shells won't shake the sheep near the riverbed off course."
While the two were talking, Rainbow 1 had already flown over the flock of sheep with the alarm clock.
A piercing alarm clock rang out from mid-air, attracting the attention of the sheep.
Seeing that the flock of sheep had all gathered below Rainbow 1, Lorraine controlled Rainbow 1 to slowly fly towards the edge of the first-level area.
"This is truly a case of one trick that works everywhere."
"It doesn't matter if the technique is old, as long as it works."
Ouyang Nian heard Luo Lin's complaint and replied to ease the tense atmosphere.
Time ticked by, and the flock of sheep, led by Rainbow 1, drew ever closer to the edge of the level 1 zone.
"Is the speed getting slower and slower?"
Lorraine muttered to himself as he watched the flock of sheep on the screen getting further and further away from Rainbow 1.
"Probably, since Rainbow One is also slow."
Ouyang Nian pointed to the speed in the upper left corner of the screen.
"It seems that there is definitely a threat in the Level 1 Wasteland. The next step is to figure out exactly how many threats are in this area."
"Lorraine said as he steered Rainbow One around."
"Later, we'll stop the ship 10 kilometers away from the sheep and fire them with the main gun."
Now that it has been confirmed that there are threats in the river and on land ahead, Lorraine has decided to take advantage of its long reach and use the main gun and support drones to eliminate the threats.
Before long, the gunboat had arrived at its designated position. The main guns turned, the barrels were raised, and they gleamed sharply in the sunlight.
"Bai Zhi, you three, hide well."
[Mission objective has reached the designated location. Please provide further instructions.]
"Rainbow One ascends to an altitude of 300 meters, ready to observe the impact point of the artillery fire."
Rainbow 1 has reached its designated altitude.
Seeing the prompt on the screen, Lorraine pressed the activation button.
The cannon roared silently, a burst of flame shot from its muzzle, and the shell flew straight at the distant flock of sheep.
After flying for several tens of seconds, the shell exploded in a brilliant burst of fire among the sheep, successfully knocking several zombie sheep near the riverbank into the water.
The fireworks disappeared, and Lorraine looked at the screen, waiting for the kill reward to appear.
Kill one animal zombie leader.
[Kill Reward: Tier 1 Ship Upgrade Material Pack x1]
"OK, all three ship upgrade material packs have been collected!"
The joy of making the first shot and the joy of the impending upgrade combined to make Lorraine jump for joy.
"And here's some more good news: it seems all the lizards in the water have come ashore, and they're even fighting with the sheep."
Ouyang Nian kept a close eye on the images transmitted back by Rainbow One and told Lorraine the news.
"Prepare the support drones to take off, and after they decide the winner, use the drones to finish off the enemy."
The main gun successfully struck two targets.
"Now we just wait for them to decide the winner."
Lorraine and Ouyang Nian watched the footage transmitted by the drone together. Their next objective was to identify the threats in the Level 1 Wasteland.
Lorraine's eyes were unfocused as he began to think about how to achieve this goal.
"Using drones to keep a constant watch?"
The fleet then needs to move forward a little further, reaching a point 5 kilometers from the first-level zone.
If there's something incredibly powerful hidden in the first-level area, they won't even have time to run away.
"No, no, we need to try a different approach."
"Come back to reality, they've finished fighting, now there are only a dozen or so lizards left."
Ouyang Nian stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Lorraine's eyes.
Lorraine shook her head and said.
"I'm trying to figure out what the threats are in the level 1 wasteland. Are you done fighting?"
"Hmm, the support drone has already departed and is expected to arrive in 5 minutes."
Lorraine saw the remaining lizards begin to devour the sheep carcasses and the blood and flesh scattered on the ground.
"Don't use incendiary bombs, leave all these severed limbs to the zombies in the level one area."
The blood and flesh scattered everywhere were enough to attract the zombies from the level one area.
"Let's move forward two kilometers and land a reconnaissance drone on the east bank. If we don't see any zombies from the level 1 area coming out to feed today, then leave the drone on the other side and come back to retrieve it tomorrow."
"Are you sure there's only one spare unit left for this model?"
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Besides, it's staying on the other side of the river overnight, so it shouldn't be disturbed by them."
Drones can be rebuilt, but when a person dies, they're gone forever.
