To get rich, build roads first? No, Wang Bin has a better way to get rich: go to the apocalypse and move gold bricks. One trip there and back and he'll easily become a billionaire!
That...
"Push all the rocks down the mountain pass, and send another group to blow up the big trees and throw them down to block the zombies!"
"yes!"
Company Commander Zhao glanced around and immediately came up with a way to stop the zombies from advancing.
Soon the zombies rushed to the mouth of the ravine, and the soldiers stopped to shoot them.
Wang Bin heard gunshots behind him and knew that Company Commander Zhao and his men were fighting the zombies.
"Faster, faster, speed up!"
The third platoon leader kept encouraging the villagers. He was very anxious. The moment Company Commander Zhao decided to stay, the heavy responsibility of escorting these villagers fell on his shoulders alone.
Those who have survived to this day have basically experienced countless zombie chases. If they really put their effort into escaping, they are quite fast.
The gunfire grew increasingly intense, but Wang Bin knew they couldn't hold out for long.
More than ten minutes later, the gunfire gradually subsided and eventually stopped completely.
The third platoon leader ripped off his hat and clenched his fist so hard that he punched himself in the chest. He knew that his respected Company Commander Zhao and the second platoon had both sacrificed their lives.
"Keep pushing, we'll be safe once we cross that river!"
After a brief period of pain, the third platoon leader quickly recovered and immediately directed everyone to run towards the river ahead.
Several children and elderly people with weaker physiques collapsed due to exhaustion. Seeing this, Wang Bin quickly said to Li Dazhu, "Dazhu, help carry them!"
"Um!"
Dazhu agreed, picked up an old man, and ran ahead alongside Abao and the others. Wang Bin, Officer Miao, and Guan Xiaoyue also picked up a child and followed around them.
Some soldiers also joined in, carrying the weaker children and the elderly towards the river.
"Run! The zombies are catching up!"
The third platoon leader fired a flare into the sky behind him and saw that some zombies were chasing after him. He shouted anxiously.
Upon hearing that the zombies were catching up, the group sped up even more.
Fortunately, they weren't far from the river, and the group quickly reached the riverbank.
"The river is a bit deep, so please don't rush into the river. Soldiers and adults will stand on both sides, protecting the elderly and children in the middle. Let's cross the river together!"
When the third platoon leader saw that the crowd was getting a little chaotic, he hurriedly tried to organize the group, but it was too late. Some people had already ignored the warnings and gone into the river alone, and several of them were quickly swept away by the river due to their lack of strength.
The river wasn't deep, but it reached an adult's chest. The elderly and children would definitely not be able to cross it without help from others.
Seeing that someone had been swept away by the river, the others dared not cross the river alone anymore.
Soldiers and adults stepped forward, forming two lines to protect the elderly and children in the middle, and everyone carefully went down into the river.
The third platoon leader did not cross the river, but instead led several soldiers to stand behind the crowd and keep an eye on the zombies.
The zombies were moving very fast; their silhouettes were already visible.
"beat!"
At the order of the platoon leader, several soldiers around him opened fire.
The people crossing the river panicked again upon hearing the gunshots, but were quickly calmed down by the soldiers around them.
Seeing that at this speed, they would be caught by zombies before they could all get there, Wang Bin gritted his teeth and said to Dazhu and the others, "Dazhu, Xiaoyue, Officer Miao, let's help the third platoon leader cover the rear!"
"good!"
Without any hesitation, the three of them agreed immediately.
"Uncle Wang!"
"Sister Xiaoyue!"
"Officer Miao!"
"elder brother!"
When they saw Wang Bin and his three companions walk out of the crowd, A Bao and the others immediately became anxious!
"Don't worry, we'll be back soon!" Wang Bin smiled faintly and led Da Zhu and the other two toward the third platoon leader.
“You all go back to your units, we’ll handle things here!” The soldiers beside them were very grateful to Wang Bin and the others for stepping forward, but their duty was to protect the people, and they didn’t want to see them sacrifice themselves. If anyone had to sacrifice, it was them.
“It’s alright, let’s be comrades-in-arms today and fight off the zombies together!” Wang Bin walked over and gently patted the soldier on the shoulder.
"Um!"
Upon hearing Wang Bin's words, the soldier nodded solemnly and did not stop them.
After Wang Bin approached the third platoon leader, he took out two grenades and bullets and handed them to him.
"Ah, you guys actually have this?" The third platoon leader was very surprised to see the grenade.
"I found it in an underground casino on the way here!" Wang Bin explained with a smile.
"Thanks, you guys are really lucky!" The third platoon smiled as they accepted the grenades and bullets Wang Bin handed them. These were extraordinary times, and these munitions were indeed in great need.
Li Dazhu and his two companions also climbed up to the soldiers and opened fire, which greatly reduced the pressure on the soldiers.
Wang Bin then gave each of the remaining soldiers a grenade and some bullets. Upon seeing the grenades and bullets, the soldiers smiled and thanked Wang Bin.
After firing grenades and bullets, Wang Bin crawled on the ground, took out the rifle with the night market scope, and started shooting at the zombies.
Through the night vision scope, Wang Bin saw countless bright spots in the distance. Seeing so many zombies, Wang Bin couldn't help but swallow hard, and then he also started firing.
The third platoon leader quickly spotted Wang Bin's rifle and was very envious, but he wouldn't ask for it.
In the post-apocalyptic world, gun control is not as strict; everyone can own a gun, and it is considered private property.
Even with the addition of Wang Bin and his three companions, the zombies continued to close the distance between them.
"Second Platoon Leader, tell your men to hurry up, I can't hold on much longer!" The Third Platoon Leader panicked when he saw that some of his men hadn't gone into the water yet, and he started swearing.
"Everyone, hurry up, hold hands, be careful, and get in the water quickly!" The second squad leader was also anxious, but it was indeed very difficult for so many people to get into the water at once.
"Throw a grenade!"
When the third platoon leader saw the zombies rushing towards them, he quickly ordered his soldiers to throw grenades.
These soldiers were well-trained. Upon hearing their platoon leader's words, two soldiers immediately stood up, pulled the pins, and threw the weapons towards the densely packed area of zombies.
Boom!
Two explosions instantly killed many zombies.
After throwing the grenades, the two soldiers immediately raised their guns and fired. Then, two more soldiers stood up, pulled the pins, and threw their grenades.
Seeing these soldiers working in an orderly manner and maximizing the power of their grenades, I couldn't help but admire the third platoon leader.
When he first heard the platoon leader say to throw grenades, he was afraid that the soldiers would throw them all at once. He was about to say something to remind them when he realized that he didn't need to say anything at all.
With the support of grenades, many of the zombies in front were eliminated. With the help of the others shooting, a large chunk of zombies in front was quickly cleared. However, countless zombies continued to rush up from behind. All they could do now was to slow down the zombies' advance; stopping them was absolutely impossible.
