The Chief's Manor is an old-fashioned building.

The atmosphere in the large conference room was solemn and dignified.

Bai Feiming sat at the head of the table.

Today she was wearing a simple dark uniform, and her long hair was neatly tied back.

Although her expression was calm, she possessed an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

The three people at the bottom are all at the very core of the power structure in Fuxing City.

Wang Xi, the secretary-general of Fuxing City, is one of the earliest veterans to follow Jiang Wu and now oversees the daily operations of the entire city, making him a veritable "chief steward".

Li Zecheng, the Chief of the General Staff, now commands the military command center of Fuxing City, and all military operations must be planned by the General Staff.

Sheng Huaiqiang, the head of the General Intelligence Department, controls all the intelligence networks in Fuxing City and the Third Fuxing City.

All three of them are also members of the Supreme Command.

This was a meeting convened by the First Lady, attended by only three people.

The identities of the three attendees indicate the high level of this meeting.

Bai Feiming spoke, her voice clear and steady, "The focus of our work going forward is how to capture Shanghai, as the leader has personally requested."

These words made the expressions of the three people present serious, and also excited.

Shanghai, that megacity that once had over 20 million people, was also a city with over 20 million zombies.

It not only has a vast reserve of resources, but more importantly, it has a well-established industrial base.

The rejuvenation of China is finally about to launch a counterattack against these megacities!

If we can successfully capture it, it will be a major event for the entire nation of China!

It can also greatly inspire everyone involved in the rejuvenation of China!

Bai Feiming looked at Sheng Huaiqiang and said seriously, "Minister Sheng, starting today, you need to send the main force of the intelligence department to the Third Fuxing City to cooperate with the Third Legion to analyze the intelligence of the entire Shanghai."

Sheng Huaiqiang stood up, saluted, and said respectfully, "Yes, Madam Bai! I will go there personally!"

Bai Feiming nodded and instructed, "You need to pay attention to coordinating the intelligence supply from other aspects. After all, although Shanghai is the most important place to go next, you are needed to provide intelligence from the First Army in the South, the Independent Brigade in the North, and other aspects. A slight oversight could cause great losses."

Sheng Huaiqiang said respectfully, "Madam Bai, please rest assured!"

Bai Feiming didn't say anything more; in fact, she also believed that Sheng Huaiqiang could do these things well.

In the past year or so, Sheng Huaiqiang has grown from an ordinary worker into a meticulous intelligence operative.

They are unlikely to make any mistakes.

Moreover, he has a large number of professional talents under his command.

Bai Feiming then looked at Li Zecheng and said, "Chief of Staff Li, your General Staff should also send its most elite team to the Third Revival City to cooperate with the Intelligence Department and the Third Army Corps to formulate the best battle plan."

Li Zecheng nodded seriously and said, "Madam Bai, I will also go there. The General Staff has already completed the planning for the next year, except for the Shanghai area, which has not yet been planned."

Shanghai has such a huge population that it is definitely one of the most difficult cities in the entire country to retake.

Logically speaking, the easier tasks should be tackled first, followed by the more difficult ones, and these major cities should be recaptured in the end.

The General Staff never expected that they would attack Shanghai so soon.

Bai Feiming said calmly, "The leader went to Shanghai. Shanghai now has dozens of underground shelters, where there are more than 250,000 survivors."

This news completely stunned all three of them.

Shanghai actually has over 250,000 survivors?!

The City of Chosen has only 200,000 survivors.

There are actually more survivors in Shanghai than in Tianxuan City!

They instantly understood why they needed to attack Shanghai right now.

It not only has a wealth of resources, but also a huge number of survivors!

What does 250,000 survivors mean?

The First Army Corps, numbering in the tens of thousands, marched towards Guangdong and Guangxi.

Because no large-scale survivor bases were found, only scattered small survival teams or even lone wolves were discovered.

Therefore, even though several months have passed, the First Legion has only rescued a little over 20,000 people so far.

The number of survivors in Shanghai, if replaced by scattered small groups in the wild, would be enough to keep the First Legion busy for several years!

Moreover, it requires countless resources.

Bai Feiming then looked at Wang Xi and said, "In Shanghai, the leader found an armory with enough weapons and ammunition to form a legion of more than 50,000 people."

"The Third Rejuvenation City is now preparing to use airships to go to the armory there and transport the weapons back."

"Wang Xi, you are in charge of recruiting a new batch of reserve soldiers, tentatively numbering 40,000. If the military equipment is brought back, we will need more people to use it."

"Yes!" Wang Xi replied respectfully.

Li Zecheng and Sheng Huaiqiang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

Another large shipment of weapons, plus a massive amount of supplies and people in Shanghai.

If we can conquer Shanghai, the strength of China's revival will increase dramatically!

The four then began to discuss more details.

......

Guangdong Province.

Sanqing County.

This small county town, nestled among mountains and once home to only 100,000 people, is now filled with the roars of zombies and the sounds of gunfire.

Zombies poured out of the county town in an endless stream, heading towards an open space.

The battle has been going on for several hours.

The roadside was littered with corpses.

It even affected the zombies' progress.

But these zombies still relentlessly pushed forward.

This was because the internal organs of a second-level evolved behemoth were scattered across that vast open space.

That was an irresistible temptation for these zombies and the N-type zombies that controlled them.

Inside and outside the county town, hundreds of laser drones hovered in the air, clearly observing all the zombies' movements.

Nearly 10,000 fully armed soldiers were lying in ambush in various directions outside the county town.

They waited patiently for the zombies to tire themselves out and continued to eliminate the zombies that rushed out of the county town.

From several high grounds outside the county town, nearly a thousand snipers continuously fired sniper bullets into the town.

Their main target is those evolved zombies.

Especially the M-type evolved zombies.

On the human-occupied territory, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles were positioned at the forefront.

Once a tall T2 or even T3 tank breaks through the fire net, the long gun barrels of these tanks will roar.

Bombard them with armor-piercing shells!

Even the incredibly powerful T3 could not withstand the concentrated fire of these main battle tanks.

This is a battle with extreme information asymmetry and extreme strategic asymmetry.

It was also a battle that resembled a massacre.

A zombie horde of this size would be utterly powerless against a modern army of tens of thousands, fully armed with heavy weapons, tanks, drones, and more.

On a high ground, Wu Ming and Luo Zhongli stood on a boulder, observing the battle through binoculars.

After a long while, Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "It seems that the N-type zombie in the county town is preparing to escape."
