Trying to catch a supply box from the sky isn't an easy task.

Firstly, only units that can fly can achieve this, and Ye Fan's only flying unit here is the War Hawk.

Fortunately, he had just upgraded War Eagle Dark Cloud, and it's about to become a Heroic Unit.

A few minutes later, Dark Cloud appeared.

This bird is incredibly imposing.

Dark Cloud stands there, already towering over two meters in height!

Its two strong claws look like tree trunks, and its huge beak is two feet long.

Its whole body is covered in golden feathers that seem forged from gold and iron, dazzling under the sunlight.

After emerging, Dark Cloud flapped its wings once.

Even with its wings not fully extended, they exceeded ten meters in width, stirring up a whirlwind on the ground.

The surrounding snowflakes were swept up, covering Ye Fan's face entirely.

"Let's weigh you and see how heavy you have become."

The scale was brought over, and Dark Cloud stepped on it, surprisingly weighing a hundred and seventy kilograms!

Ye Fan was somewhat speechless; is this still a bird?

This is practically a pig flying in the sky.

Dark Cloud seemed quite proud of its weight, letting out a few cackling cries.

Shen Ruihui stood beside, glanced at this Hero Level War Hawk, and snorted, "Mindless thing, why scream so loud? Just because you're a Heroic Unit it makes you special? I was the first hero, but I didn't show off like this. Why don't you go up to the sky then?"

Dark Cloud seemed dissatisfied, cackling a few times at Shen Ruihui, as if trying to convey something.

Shen Ruihui couldn't understand what it was saying, but he knew Ye Fan probably could, so he asked Ye Fan, "Commander, what's this dumb bird saying?"

Ye Fan looked at Shen Ruihui and said, "It said, since you're so great, why don't you go up to the sky?"

********

A pilot from the Storm Army piloted a fighter jet, approaching the base of the Dawn Army.

Originally, he planned to show off by launching a missile from a distance, but surprisingly, he discovered that the radar on his plane had malfunctioned!

Not only could he not locate the Dawn Army's base, but he couldn't see anything in that area either.

On the radar screen, there were merely jumping waves, not revealing anything.

"What's going on? The radar was checked after this plane was repaired. It shouldn't have issues, so why is it malfunctioning?"

"Could it be that the Dawn Army has electromagnetic interference? It shouldn't be; last time I came, there wasn't a problem."

He didn't believe that the Dawn Army had the capability to interfere with his radar operation, as last time when he flew over, he saw some of the situations in Dawn City.

There were barracks, an airport, a Power Plant, and cannons there.

This time, he had planned well, with a total of four air-to-ground missiles on his plane; he intended to blow up the Dawn Army's cannons, Power Plant, airport, and Ye Fan's villa.

But now, with the radar problem, his long-range missile plan was dead in the water, and he could only continue flying forward to see what was going on in Dawn City.

The plane passed through the clouds, quickly approaching Dawn City.

The scenery below left him somewhat stunned.

From afar, Dawn City was only half visible through the mist.

The originally important military facilities were all shrouded in a layer of fog.

"Damn, why is it foggy here? The timing today is a bit off."

There was no way he could launch missiles at the fog that stretched for ten kilometers. Who knows where they would end up hitting?

As he hesitated, something chilling occurred!

A missile suddenly shot out from the fog of Dawn City!

"F*ck~!"

The pilot's heart almost skipped out of his chest because the missile wasn't detected by the radar; he saw it with his own eyes.

At this point, there was no way for the plane to escape!

He still tried his best to climb higher, but it was futile; the missile, trailing a long tail, crashed into the tail wing of the fighter jet.

The tail was crushed, the plane started spewing black smoke, spinning in the air like a headless fly, headed for a crash.

"Not good, I'm going down. I have to parachute!"

Before he could react and parachute, three more missiles whooshed out from below!

The pilot's eyes widened, "Is the Dawn Army out of their mind? The plane is crashing and you're still hitting it with missiles. These things don't come cheap."

He decisively activated the ejection system, escaping from the plane!

Behind him came a roaring explosion, the Storm Army's fighter jet turned into exploding fireworks in mid-air.

It wasn't just demolished, it was shattered!

As the debris of the plane fell, the parachuting pilot even saw small missiles still being launched from the ground, swiftly targeting the larger debris pieces.

He was extremely speechless, opening his parachute in mid-air, now only hoping for a gust of wind to blow him far away, as far as possible from Dawn City.

The strong wind didn't come; instead, a surprisingly large bird arrived, with a person on its back.

********

Shen Ruihui, with his hot temper, couldn't stand the provocation. If a stupid bird like you can reach the sky, why can't I?

Anyway, this big fellow is robust, carrying a person into the sky is no big deal.

Dark Clouds followed the radar screen's cues and locked onto the rapidly descending supply crate.

The supply crate was green on the radar screen, making it easy to distinguish.

Some wreckage of fighter jets was falling around, and Shen Ruihui, holding a grenade launcher, opened fire to shatter them, clearing obstacles for Dark Clouds.

Soon, Dark Clouds approached the supply crate.

Its wings, with a span of fifteen meters, folded slightly, and it dove down, quickly reaching beneath the supply crate.

Ye Fan advised Dark Clouds not to grab it since its claws were too powerful and could crush it. This task was left to Shen Ruihui.

Shen Ruihui knew his task well, stood on Dark Clouds to maintain balance, and as they flew by, he firmly caught the supply crate!

The wooden box had a considerable impact, causing Shen Ruihui to sit down hard on Dark Cloud's back.

His chest hurt badly, and gritting his teeth, he put down the box.

Feeling a bit unhappy, he suddenly saw an enemy pilot parachuting in the distance.

Company Commander Shen immediately pulled out a gun and fired a grenade shot at him!

"With that bear-like quality, you still dare to take to the skies!"

A ball of flames exploded in the air, and the enemy pilot didn't land; Company Commander Shen eliminated him mid-air.

The unpleasant mood from being hit immediately turned joyful, urging Dark Clouds to speed up as he still needed to report back to his officer.

Dark Clouds landed, returning next to Ye Fan's residence, and Shen Ruihui eagerly handed the crate to Ye Fan.

"Officer, mission accomplished!"

Ye Fan smiled, patted Shen Ruihui's shoulder. If it weren't for the fact that he often gets his wires crossed, this lad would have been remarkable.

This supply crate was probably the toughest one Ye Fan had ever obtained.

Without the Heroic Level War Hawk Dark Clouds, he wouldn't have known how to bring it over.

Taking the supply crate in hand, Ye Fan forcefully opened it.

Nana's prompt immediately came.

"Congratulations, Officer, received an air unit, a gunship, which is now available at the Air Command."

Ye Fan was taken aback and hurried to the airfield.

Upon arrival, indeed, there was an additional fixed-wing aircraft.

Looking at the plane, it seemed like his transport plane Yun-8 but was very different.

He simply checked the specific data.

"Gunship: An airborne fire fortress modified from a transport plane, equipped with two 105mm howitzers, two 30mm machine cannons, two 20mm machine cannons, and four 12.7mm heavy machine guns."

"Crew of twenty, under No-Star status, equipped with forty thousand rounds of various firearms, and two hundred shells. While performing the lighthouse orbit, it possesses precise and fierce firepower for ground attacks. Munitions automatically refresh at midday every day."

"Note: In scenarios with air supremacy, the gunship is a nightmare for ground infantry and general armored units, known as the 'ground licker demon'."

Ye Fan understood this air unit; its advantages and disadvantages were quite apparent.

Without powerful anti-aircraft firepower, this aircraft was nearly invincible.

The so-called lighthouse orbit refers to the action of the plane circling the lighthouse, essentially drawing circles in the sky.

At this time, the machine cannons and heavy machine guns mounted on the side wings of the aircraft could unleash furious fire.

This aircraft, with its four machine cannons and four heavy machine guns, also equipped with howitzers of great power, was simply a nightmare for ground forces.

Perhaps in modern warfare, the role of such a gunship might not be that significant, but if used against zombies, this thing is practically a divine artifact.

Any weapon entering the Dawn Army could be upgraded; who knows to what extent it could reach if upgraded to Three-Star, it's unimaginable.

Ye Fan satisfactorily approached the gunship, as the crew disembarked to greet him.

He boarded the cabin and saw the weapons equipped inside, along with the ammo crates filling the space.

Inside were forty thousand rounds of ammunition, with five thousand each for the machine guns and cannons.

While rejoicingly fiddling with those machine cannons, Nana's prompt suddenly sounded again.

"Officer, received two messages from the War Hawk. One is that fifteen thousand troops of the Divine Dragon Army are approaching us, seemingly preparing to attack our city."

Ye Fan snorted from his nostrils, "Looks like they are planning to seek revenge on us. Let them come; the new troops have just been produced, perfect for some combat practice. What about the other message?"

"The other message is that a massive zombie horde near Crane City has approached the Divine Dragon Army's base and likely begun their assault."

"What? A massive zombie horde? Is it larger than the 300,000 zombies that attacked us?"

"Yes, Officer, you can check the video footage transmitted by the War Hawk."

Soon, the video was transmitted to Ye Fan's Red Alert page.

The scenes were shocking, and with one glance, Ye Fan realized that the issue he had been worrying about had finally occurred.

The zombies have evolved to a new stage, and the second winter for human survivors is about to arrive.
