Chapter 59 Comparing yourself to others makes you angry. This is unbearable!

Tiannan Industrial Park is located thirty miles north of the city!

This is a massive industrial park, surrounded by Packages commercial and residential areas, factories, markets, streets, and numerous villages.

It was a large park primarily focused on state-owned chemical industries, supplemented by a large number of supporting factories.

Before the disaster, over a hundred thousand workers commuted here daily.

Because it is far from the city and has little edible material, few people come here to hunt, and the number of zombies is very dense.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Five helicopters flew domineeringly through the air, quickly arriving!

Ji Yan scanned the industrial park below, saying nothing, only looking at Qinglong.

"Second team, immediately lure away all the zombies!"

"Other teams prepare to land, quickly take away materials after searching!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Qinglong skillfully issued the combat orders.

Ji Yan was there to relax; he was the one truly in command.

Qinglong could easily handle such a small situation, so Ji Yan naturally didn't need to say more.

"Second team understood!"

"Third team received!"

"Fourth team received!"

"Fifth team received!"

Voices kept coming from the radio!

Two armed helicopters and three large transport helicopters came this time.

At Qinglong's command, one of the armed helicopters quickly opened fire, its six-barrel Gatling gun roaring as it wildly shot at the zombie horde below.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

High-explosive grenades were thrown, quickly causing earth-shattering explosions.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The zombies, wandering around, all went crazy.

They glared ferociously at the armed helicopter, frantically converging towards it.

"Go!"

The pilot of this armed helicopter quickly changed direction.

Soon, the zombie army was led far away.

Half an hour later, the dense mass of zombies had disappeared from sight.

Qinglong made a gesture, and the three transport helicopters quickly made an emergency landing.

Then, dozens of soldiers rushed out and began to cordon off and search the surroundings.

The helicopter Ji Yan was in was responsible for patrolling the sky, watching out for any potential dangers.

"Report! In warehouse 3 of Zone A, a large amount of pyrite and other unknown chemical raw materials were found…!"

"Report! In warehouse 1 of Zone B, a large amount of sulfate crystal was found…"

"Report! In warehouse 12 of Zone B, a large amount of nitric acid powder was found…"

Good news kept coming in!

Ji Yan's lips finally curved into a smile.

Although he didn't know much about chemistry, he understood a little.

Pyrite is the main raw material for extracting and producing sulfur and sulfuric acid.

Concentrated sulfuric acid plus ethanol can yield ether!

And a mixed solvent of ethanol and ether dissolves nitrocellulose, which can yield nitrocellulose gunpowder, also known as the commonly used single-base propellant for bullets!

In short, these were all good things!

Ji Yan had ways to extract and produce them once they were brought back.

With his base's technological foundation and a large number of scientists, as long as he had chemical raw materials, he could convert them into each other to produce large quantities of gunpowder.

Immediately after, the busy transport began!

Dozens of soldiers searched for raw materials while also transporting goods.

Large containers were placed on the open ground of the factory area, and numerous forklifts worked non-stop, continuously loading materials into the containers, then securing them with steel cables!

The maximum load capacity of a Divine Shadow-class large transport helicopter is 80 tons!

Loading goods directly onto the helicopter was too troublesome, so the soldiers simply had the helicopters hoist the containers, taking off with an entire cargo container suspended below.

One after another, large transport helicopters roared as they carried cargo containers, making grand round trips between the industrial park and the base.

This scene attracted the attention of many people!

Many survivors who saw it were stunned and wide-eyed!

"Holy cow, A1 Shelter is too extravagant, aren't they? Using large transport helicopters to lift cargo containers?"

"I'm so envious. They're transporting goods to their base container by container, while we can't even get enough to eat. Damn it, why is the gap between people so huge?"

"If only our base had transport planes, too. What big spenders!"

"Comparing yourself to others just makes you mad. It's simply unbearable!"

Many people secretly lamented with frustration!

Even on the base forum, there were posts about Ji Yan using helicopters to transport goods.

Su Tianquan and other bigwigs, who were desperately searching for supplies, all had red eyes from envy; they wished they could be as carefree as Ji Yan.

Unfortunately, they didn't have helicopters!

…

West of the city, inside a large golf course!

Numerous heavily armed soldiers guarded various locations!

Chen Weiguo, Wei Dongyuan, Xie Wenzhan, and Xue Bin gathered to play golf and enjoy red wine, their lives quite leisurely.

"Have you heard?" Chen Weiguo said while swinging his club, "Ji Yan has been making big moves recently. There's the Zombie Storm, then the material rationing, and now he's personally using helicopters to transport goods. Damn it, why aren't we as extravagant as he is?!"

"Who told him his family background was rich!" Xie Wenzhan laughed, "We can't be jealous. Old Wei does have a few armed helicopters, but there are no large transport planes!"

"Damn it!" Xue Bin spat, angrily saying, "Last time we went running over to curry favor, he didn't even bother with us. Not only did he exploit us severely, but now he even refuses to sell materials. He's really arrogant!"

"Heh heh, if you're capable, you be arrogant too!" Wei Dongyuan sneered, "In this day and age, whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. If we keep playing like this, let alone being compared to Ji Yan, it's still a question whether we can even survive the Zombie Storm!"

"Have you all decided?" Chen Weiguo asked with a frown, "What do you think about jointly seizing the 57th Army base? I've already decided to start clearing it out once this storm passes!"

"This?"

The other three looked conflicted!

The 57th Army base was where Chen Weiguo's former military unit was located.

After the disaster broke out, most of the soldiers there turned into zombies, and they were very powerful zombies.

They tried to explore it a few times but returned empty-handed.

If they could take down this base, the equipment of an entire army inside would make them incredibly rich, with all sorts of missiles and helicopters available.

From then on, they would no longer need to envy Ji Yan!

Such a good thing, they couldn't help but be tempted!

"Let's do it then, after we safely get through the Zombie Storm!"

"Heh heh, once I get my hands on the 57th Army's equipment, let's see how much he can still show off!"

The four of them, by unspoken agreement, began to fantasize about the future!

Each of them showed a look of excitement
