After noon, everyone woke up and ate something. Then Wang Bin told everyone the news he had received from Commander Li.

When everyone learned that the troops were short of ammunition, they were all worried. Wang Bin had already prepared for the worst. He gave each person a bag, and put some food and water in the bag to ensure that they would not starve to death even if they were separated.

In addition, each person was given a walkie-talkie and earphones. Since the radar station at the division headquarters was still there and had solar power, the area could receive signals. However, these items could not be taken out for the time being. Firstly, it was impossible to explain their origin, and secondly, the troops were in short supply of communication equipment. It was estimated that if they were discovered, they would be confiscated soon. If Wang Bin had more, giving some to the troops would not be a problem, but this time he had prepared one for each person.

Wang Bin greeted everyone and then headed towards the division headquarters. He needed to inquire about the zombie situation, and as the chief instructor in charge of 13,000 survivors, he also needed to discuss the next steps with Li Junshan.

As soon as Wang Bin stepped out of the building, pedestrians on the street greeted him, and Wang Bin waved and greeted them all the way to the division headquarters.

The guard at the gate recognized Wang Bin and did not stop him. However, when he went to see the division commander, the guard asked him to wait at the gate and let him in only after the guard informed him.

"Chief Instructor Wang is here, please have a seat!" Li Junshan and a group of senior officers seemed to be discussing something, and when they saw him come in, they quickly invited him to sit down.

"Well, Commander Li, you can just call me Wang Bin from now on, it'll be more comfortable that way." Wang Bin didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out a chair next to an officer and sat down.

"That won't do! That's military discipline!"

"Alright!" Hearing that it was a matter of discipline, Wang Bin didn't want to argue any further and resigned himself to his fate.

"The scouts I sent out have returned. I was just about to send someone to look for you, but you've come here on your own, which saves me the trouble of sending someone to fetch you!"

"Commander Li, what's the situation outside?" Wang Bin was very nervous when he heard that the scouts had returned.

"The situation is not optimistic. There are still a lot of zombies around us, about 400,000, and behind us, to the west, there is a horde of about a million zombies heading in our direction!"

"A million zombies?" Upon hearing "a million," Wang Bin was so surprised he almost jumped up, but thankfully he managed to regain his composure. "So, what are Commander Li's plans?"

Are you kidding me? There are millions of zombies, what are we waiting for? Run!

Two or three hundred thousand zombies almost breached their fortifications; if they were surrounded by a million zombies, they would surely die.

Commander Li was slightly surprised when he saw and heard about the million zombies, but he quickly calmed down. His impression of Wang Bin improved even further. You see, when he told the officers in front of him the news, several of them jumped up in surprise.

"The only way out right now is to break through as soon as possible. However, with so many people, it will be very difficult to ensure the safety of everyone. Therefore, we must come up with a good plan to break through!"

"Commander Li, I think we should immediately inform the others of this warning and have them mobilize and assemble at Cao Cao's place. We should withdraw as soon as we come up with a plan, instead of waiting for us to come up with a plan before assembling the people!"

"Yes, Chief Instructor Wang is right! Commander Huang, this is your job. Spread the message immediately, gather everyone on the parade ground, and make sure supplies are ready for evacuation at any time!"

"yes!"

Commander Huang gave a military salute and immediately jogged out.

"Chief Instructor Wang, do you have any other good suggestions?" As soon as Regiment Commander Huang ran out, Division Commander Li asked Wang Bin for his opinion with a smile.

"I'm not very familiar with the military, so I can't really offer any opinions. Besides, you're the experts in this area, so I'd like to hear your opinions first!"

"Well, does anyone have any good plans?"

"Reporting to the division commander, I have a plan!" As soon as Division Commander Li finished speaking, an officer sitting next to him stood up.

"Oh, Staff Officer Li, just tell me what your good plan is!"

"yes!"

As a staff officer, formulating battle plans was his duty. When Staff Officer Li learned that a million zombies were heading towards the base, he knew that evacuation was necessary, and he was already thinking about an evacuation plan.

"Our primary task is to ensure the safe evacuation of civilians and the safety of supplies, so both civilians and supplies must be placed in the center. Currently, we have a company of tanks, a total of twelve. We can deploy three tanks in a triangular formation to clear the way, and then send out a regiment of infantry to cooperate in creating an opening. The most difficult part is protecting the civilians during the evacuation, so we must deploy six tanks to protect the left and right flanks, with two battalions on each flank. The remaining three tanks and two battalions will cover the rear. In addition, Chief Instructor Wang's 13,000 survivors will remain on both sides of the formation to protect the safety of the remaining civilians and supplies!"

"Hmm, I think Staff Officer Li's plan is feasible. Do you have anything to add?" Division Commander Li was satisfied after listening to Staff Officer Li's plan. Although the plan was not detailed enough, the situation was urgent and this was the only option for now.

"I'd like to add something," Wang Bin said, "I think it would be best to send two thousand able-bodied men to accompany the vanguard to break through. After all, our ammunition is insufficient, and zombies might inevitably rush into our ranks. Having two thousand able-bodied men would be much safer!" Wang Bin immediately stood up to speak as soon as Li Shi finished speaking. Although this might offend Staff Officer Li, these were extraordinary times, and he couldn't worry about that now.
