The Undead and Unstoppable Apocalyptic Queen novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Skywatch

Back then, the entire stretch of highway had been eerily quiet–aside from the gas station, there were hardly any zombies in sight.

It was almost certain that the Level 3 zombie had lured the others there to feed on them.

The second factor? Evolution through abilities.

Zombies could develop abilities, too,

And once they did, their power level would skyrocket.

In her past life, Theresa had heard of the most powerful zombie king in the Eastern region–a Level 8 zombie with multiple abilities.

Rumor had it, he had at least three distinct powers.

He ruled the borderlands between Ansford, Branford, and Crestmont.

Of course, she had only ever heard about him. She’d never seen him.

She hadn’t earned the right,

In her last life. Theresa had been just an ordinary person–nowhere near qualified for high–level combat zones. She had always played it safe, only taking on missions she could surely complete.

She refused to gamble with her life.

That was why, despite how powerful other ability users were, few ever outlasted her.

Theresa was steady. Rock steady.

Never reckless. Never foolish.

Back to the matter at hand–at this stage of the outbreak, most zombies were still Level 1

Higher–level zombies were extremely rare. The Level 3 zombie Theresa had killed last time was already a one–in–a–million threat.

She glanced over her haul: more than 1,100 zombie gleamstones. She exchanged 1,000 of them for points, setting the remaining 100 aside for extracting Evoloid.

Each Level I gleamstone was worth 100 points, and she was eligible for a reward pack.

Ding! Congratulations! You’ve earned 100,400 points!

Adding that to the 30,000 points she already had, she was now approaching a total of 140,000. Theresa rubbed her hands together, practically vibrating with excitement. She had enough!

She rushed to the limited–time offer window and selected the multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system

Then, she hit “redeem.”

Ding! Congratulations! You’ve acquired the multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system!

Moments later, a sleek, high–tech piece of military–grade equipment materialized in front of her.

Her camp immediately began to shift.

At that moment, the raised tower section on the second floor of Theresa’s camp expandled again, pushing back into the hillside with a footprint nearly half the size of her bunker,

A retractable skylight now sat above the room.

At its center stood a massive control console, positioned right behind Theresa’s crossbow setup.

Twenty–four compact military unmanned aerial vehicles were neatly arrayed on the central platform.

These UAVs were compact–only slightly larger than the commercial ones sold on the market–but their power was nothing like the hobby–grade models.

They were standard military–grade multifunctional UAVs, built for serious ground control–powerful enough to destroy a main battle tank.

If deployed in an offensive strike, just a few waves of UAV air raids would be enough to give any enemy’s air defense a massive headache.

For one, these aircraft were incredibly small, making them hard to track and prohibitively expensive to take down. The only way to shoot them out of the sky would be with costly anti–air missiles. Even the relatively cheaper shoulder–fired systems wouldn’t be worth the trade.

Each missile could cost hundreds of thousands–firing one just to hit a single UAV was like setting money on fire.

And that was assuming one could land the shop on the first try.

Using large–caliber anti–aircraft cannons wasn’t much better. If these UAVs flew in tight formation, ground fire wouldn’t be able to intercept all of them. It’d be overkill, and stiff not a guaranteed success.

The most effective method would normally be electronic interference–forcing the UAVs to land or veer off their intended course.

But these were no ordinary aircraft.

This was a reward from the system: a multifunctional unmanned aerial vehicle system. And current electronic jamming technology had no effect on Theresa’s setup.

Deployed across her territory, the unmanned aerial vehicle system would form an airtight, high–powered defense network.

Twenty–four military–grade units, each with an eight–hour battery life, rotated in three shu… Two aircraft monitored each cardinal direction–north, south, east, and west–ensuring 24–hour coverage, nonstop.

There…

gazed at her camp’s insane new defense system, thrilled beyond words. A full day of zombie hunting? Absolutely worth it.

Then she noticed a flashing icon in the system–she had something left to claim.

She’d taken down over a thousand zombies and redeemed more than a thousand gleamstones. That also meant she qualified for a reward pack.

She remembered the system prompt: the next reward pack could be unlocked with just 100 gleamstones

Calling Cash over, she gave the dog a firm head rubs, leaving him dazed while Summer barked jealously from the side.

With both dogs in her arms, Theresa opened the reward pack.

Ding! Congratulations! You’ve received pain relief gel!

Ding! Congratulations! You’ve received an Emergency Pill!

Ding! Congratulations! You’ve received 1,000 pounds of fresh beef!

Ding! Congratulations! You’ve received 100 solar panels!

Theresa’s eyes went wide. What a haul!
