On the other side.
It is a small town located more than 100 kilometers west of Ping'an County, not far from the main road leading to Guanghui City.
Gunfire erupted.
Smoke filled the sky above the county town, turning the once azure sky into a gloomy gray.
This small county town, which once had a population of 50,000, has now been completely turned into a zombie apocalypse.
Zombies roamed every corner of the county town.
Over a year later, after enduring sun and rain, the faces of all the zombies had become withered and terrifying.
Their clothes were now all tattered and torn, some even reduced to strips of cloth.
It reeked of a nauseating odor, and its empty eyes held only a primal craving for flesh and blood.
Their hearing is much more sensitive now than it was a year ago.
The sound of gunfire had just begun.
The zombies scattered throughout the county town surged frantically toward the source of the gunfire.
The dense, black tide-like mass of people created a chilling scene.
Mortar shells crashed into these Kuroshio currents and exploded.
It knocked countless zombies to the ground.
They didn't aim for a fatal blow, but only hoped to slow down the zombie horde's advance.
Outside the county town, soldiers of the First Brigade of the Fuxing Army were already on high alert.
Today, the First Brigade has 4,000 full-time front-line combat personnel.
In addition, it has nearly 500 logistics personnel, plus the brigade and regimental headquarters staff, bringing the total number of personnel to over 5,000!
As the leader's earliest and most established direct subordinate force, the First Brigade's supplies have always been the highest priority.
This also allowed the First Brigade to have the best equipment and the best personnel.
Even with only simple fortifications, even when facing the onslaught of tens of thousands of zombies, even if hundreds or thousands of them are evolved zombies.
But the soldiers all stood firm and resolute in their positions.
No one was afraid in the slightest.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The gunshots rang out rhythmically as the soldiers calmly and methodically fired single shots.
Even if it's just a single shot.
Yet the sounds of thousands of guns still rang out as densely as a torrential downpour.
Almost every day involves training or dealing with zombies.
Every soldier in the brigade has long since developed an iron will and superb shooting skills.
Each bullet seemed to be precisely calculated, hitting the zombie's head with pinpoint accuracy.
The zombies that charged ahead fell one after another as if they were being slapped down by an invisible hand.
Under their fire, the black tide of zombies seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of steel, and its advance was temporarily halted.
Meanwhile, Lu Qi, the company commander of the first company of the special operations battalion, was leading 150 evolved warriors of the first company in a state of high alert.
Their main target is level two evolved zombies, or even the possible level three evolved zombies.
Under such firepower suppression, only level two or even level three evolved zombies could break through the firepower blockade and rush to the front of the fortifications.
Suddenly, Yu Beibei, the deputy company commander of the first company of the special operations battalion, shouted loudly: "There's a level three agile zombie! At nine o'clock!"
Lu Qi immediately shouted, "All heavy firepower to suppress the nine o'clock position in Zone 1!"
He trusted his wife Yu Beibei's judgment!
This is also the most prominent ability of his wife, Yu Beibei, after she became an evolved being.
Her eyes are now like high-precision cameras; although her combat abilities are relatively weak, her support abilities are extremely strong!
When Lü Qi first suggested Yu Beibei to his superiors to be the deputy company commander, he was somewhat apprehensive.
Unexpectedly, the superiors agreed immediately.
This is largely thanks to Yu Beibei, who is both a veteran of the base and possesses this ability.
Following Lü Qi's order, more than twenty heavy machine guns from the Special Operations Battalion's First Company simultaneously opened fire in one direction.
The zombies in that area were unlucky.
In an instant, he was riddled with bullets from those heavy machine guns and turned into bloody foam.
The M3, which was incredibly fast and had some bulletproof skin, was also shattered into pieces by this sudden barrage of heavy fire.
After confirming everything was correct, Yu Beibei commanded, "That's enough, cease fire!"
With the order given, all twenty-odd heavy machine guns under the command of the First Company of the Special Operations Battalion fell silent.
Even though Fuxing City can now produce these heavy machine gun bullets, we still can't afford to waste them too much.
Lu Qi gave Yu Beibei a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Wife, you're amazing!"
Yu Beibei rolled her eyes at Lü Qi and said seriously, "When we're out, please call me Deputy Company Commander. This is Commander Wu's order to his junior officers."
Lu Qi said with a grin, "Commander Wu was talking about a formal occasion. Right now, it's just the few of us here, right, honey?"
Yu Beibei stomped on Lü Qi's instep and scolded him irritably, "You smooth talker, you're supposed to be a high-ranking officer."
Lu Qi said proudly, "In your eyes, I am the best husband."
The brigade headquarters not far from the main battlefield.
Luo Zhongli, the brigade commander of the First Brigade of the Fuxing Army, Chen Weimin, the deputy brigade commander, and some other officers from the brigade headquarters were sitting around a table, discussing the army's next move.
One of the staff officers frowned and said, "Brigade Commander, isn't it a bit too slow for us to clear the way like this? Should we split the three regiments and advance simultaneously, attacking different sections of the route separately?"
Another staff officer shook his head and said, "If we do that, how will the special operations company be deployed? Without the special operations company to hold the line, once those advanced evolved zombies appear in hordes, even if the soldiers are brave, they will still suffer heavy casualties."
"But at this rate, we don't know how many towns we need to recapture, or when we'll reach Radiant City?"
