Jiang Wu sighed, disregarding the occasion, and sat down directly next to Li Qingxuan.

He put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't get upset. I will give your mother a grand funeral and build her a good tomb so that those who hurt her will be buried with her."

Upon hearing the words "to be buried with someone," Liu Zhengze burst into tears.

She also collapsed to the side and burst into tears.

Li Qingxuan shook her head, burst into tears in Jiang Wu's arms, and sobbed, "Brother Wu, I have already buried my mother, but there isn't even a proper tombstone. It can be repaired, so there's no need to waste money and resources."

Jiang Wu sighed and said, "Alright, we'll do it your way."

Meanwhile, Liu Ling, who was standing to the side, quickly made a decision and said seriously, "Chief Jiang, both the Liu family and I were wrong in this matter. From now on, our Liu family will follow your lead. In addition, I am willing to lead the Liu family to guard the tomb for seven days."

Jiang Wu picked up Li Qingxuan, nodded to Liu Ling, and said calmly, "Chief Liu, remember what you said."

Liu Ling nodded quickly and said, "Chief Jiang, don't worry!"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The Liu family, at least, survived.

Jiang Wu looked at Liu Zhengze and the others with disgust, and said to Lü Qi behind him, "Lock these people up first."

"yes!"

Time flies.

Several more days have passed.

December 17th.

Early in the morning.

As usual, nearly a hundred vehicles, all painted in military green, slowly drove out of the Donghu base from the Huaxigu base.

Recently, such operations have been frequently carried out at the Huaxi Valley base.

Nobody found it strange.

What they didn't know was that, apart from the 100 soldiers who stayed behind and two special operations team members, almost the entire Huaxi Valley base had been mobilized this time.

The target was Rongxian County, located dozens of kilometers away.

In the past few days, Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu each led a team of 800 people to clear out all the zombies on the only road to Rong County.

There's no need to worry about being surrounded by zombies from other areas when attacking Rong County for the time being.

The convoy slowly came to a stop two kilometers outside the county town.

Nearly 1,800 people began constructing defensive fortifications on the original site as required.

Inside a military tent, Jiang Wu and other high-ranking officials sat around a large table.

A large map was spread out on the table.

Li Zecheng explained, "Chief, given that the zombies in the county are led by type N zombies, their attack directions will be relatively uniform. We should make the best use of the terrain."

“We’ve discussed this at length and studied the terrain of the county town carefully. We’re in this direction now. All we need to do is capture a few tall buildings nearby and send our soldiers there. From our vantage point, we can suppress the zombies surging out of the city.”

"Most importantly, the terrain here is open enough to allow us to use tanks and heavy firepower to blockade it."

"Moreover, the open terrain here means we don't have to worry about the zombie corpses piling up like mountains, making it impossible to shoot the subsequent zombies more effectively, and ultimately forcing us to retreat."

"Our main focus is on the M2 and T2 tanks; only they can break through the firepower and storm these high-rise buildings..."

Li Zecheng was giving a serious report.

Jiang Wu listened while studying the map.

The high-rise buildings that Li Zecheng mentioned were all residential buildings of more than 20 stories, arranged in a row, located at the very edge of the county town.

These residential buildings are situated on high ground, acting like natural fortresses that block off all nearby roads.

Together with the tanks and soldiers on the road, they can launch a multi-dimensional attack on the surging zombies.

In front of these residential buildings is a provincial highway that is more than 30 meters wide.

Across from the provincial highway lies the county town, which connects with another 30-meter-wide provincial highway, forming a T-junction.

It will be safe as long as this intersection is blocked off.

The only thing to consider is level two or even the possible appearance of level three zombies.

Another issue is how to buy time for the soldiers to get into these buildings and bring enough ammunition.

Of course, all zombies that might be inside the building also need to be cleared out.

These all take time.

After explaining the first plan, Li Zecheng paused and added, "There's another plan: to wear them down little by little. We'll eliminate a portion at a time, using the mobility of our vehicles to outmaneuver the zombies in the county town..."

After listening patiently, Jiang Wu said calmly, "Let's go with the first plan you suggested. We'll step in to buy you some time. As for the second plan, we can continue to refine it and use it when facing more zombies in the future."

Once Jiang Wu finalized the plan, Li Zecheng began to refine the arrangements of the first plan, ensuring that each battalion and company knew their responsibilities.

Two hours later, the fortifications of the temporary camp were completed, and the convoy continued its journey, except for a small number of soldiers who stayed behind to guard the camp.

When the convoy was only a few hundred meters away from the county town, it stopped again.

This time, everyone except those operating the combat vehicles got out of the vehicles.

The fully armed force of 1,500 people stretched out in a spectacular display.

This also brought Jiang Wu great satisfaction.

The area in the direction of the county town was deathly silent, as if shrouded in the shadow of death.

Countless zombies wandered aimlessly through the county town.

Abandoned vehicles and debris are everywhere, and blood-stained walls bear witness to people's struggles and fears in the apocalypse.

The entire county has become a zombie paradise, filled with death and despair.
