On the left side of the road in the county town, a modified heavy truck was leading the way.
Its bulldozer blades pushed aside the zombie wreckage and abandoned vehicles blocking the way, clearing a path for the following troops.
The machine gunner on the vehicle calmly fired at the zombies rushing out from the alleys on both sides, each bullet hitting the head accurately.
"Old Zhang, to the left!" the observer in the passenger seat suddenly shouted.
Driver Lao Zhang jerked the steering wheel, and the truck swerved sharply, knocking several zombies that rushed out from the left.
They tumbled through the air like rag dolls, crashing heavily against the walls on the street and remaining motionless.
"Well done!" the machine gunner gave a thumbs up.
Such scenes played out repeatedly along the entire pursuit route.
Some zombies were hit and thrown by vehicles, some were crushed into mincemeat, and many more were killed by precise shots from the soldiers on the vehicles.
Time passed little by little.
The main streets of Sanqing County are littered with the remains of zombies.
Dark red blood stained the road, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and decay.
With the main pursuit force having cleared the zombies from the main areas, the evolved beings of the First Brigade also began to move out.
They led fully armed elite squads, in groups of ten, into the small county town littered with corpses from all directions.
Their goal is to wipe out the scattered zombies in the county town.
The members of these elite squads are all highly trained veterans; they act in perfect unison and cooperate seamlessly.
When faced with the remaining zombies, they always killed them cleanly and efficiently.
They rarely used firearms, easily resolving battles with just crossbows and melee weapons.
Those evolved beings wearing bio-armor and wielding bio-weapons mostly just stood by on guard and rarely took action themselves.
Their presence is more like a form of protection, ensuring that no unexpected situations arise.
"At three o'clock, on the second floor of a residential building, there are two ordinary zombies," a team member reported in a low voice through the communicator inside his helmet.
The two team members immediately raised their crossbows, and with two soft "whoosh" sounds, two crossbow bolts accurately shot into the zombies' eye sockets, pinning them to the wall.
The team continued to advance, their movements clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.
Through their long battle with zombies, they have matured completely.
Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from the street corner and pounced on a small team with astonishing speed.
That was an M2 zombie.
"M2! Four o'clock! Attention!" the evolved being on guard shouted suddenly.
Faced with this sudden threat, the team members did not panic.
The two team members quickly raised their specially made net rope guns and fired directly at the four o'clock position.
With two "whoosh" sounds, two large silver-white nets covered M2.
This specially designed net rope gun is one of the latest achievements of the General Armaments Department.
The net rope inside is made of silk from a certain mutated spider. After special treatment, although it is soft and delicate, its toughness far exceeds that of steel wire.
Even the M3's sharp teeth and claws cannot easily tear it apart.
The M2 zombie was completely trapped by the two nets and slammed heavily to the ground.
It struggled frantically, its claws and teeth scratching at the net, but it couldn't tear it apart.
Just then, a figure rapidly approached.
Then a spear with a spearhead made of a giant beast's tooth pierced the head of the M2 zombie with precision.
The gun barrel easily pierced the skull, pulverizing the brain tissue inside.
The one who made the move was Chen Ding, the battalion commander of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Regiment, 1st Brigade of the 1st Army.
He is also the person in charge of this area.
Chen Ding drew his spear and wiped the grime off the tip on the zombie's clothes.
"Battalion Commander!" The soldiers immediately surrounded him. "We could have handled this small matter ourselves. Why did you come here personally?"
Chen Ding glared at them irritably: "Is it strange that I'm here? I'm an evolved being, for goodness' sake. Are you telling me to hide in the back?"
He paused, a hint of pride in his voice: "Besides, when I first joined the Restoration Army, I was on the front lines killing zombies, while you guys were hiding in who-knows-where."
The team members smiled and complimented, "That's right, the battalion commander is a veteran of our regiment!"
Chen Ding removed the net rope binding the M2 and exclaimed, "This new type of net rope gun is really powerful. With this thing, it will be much easier to deal with these M2 and M3 in the future."
Besides those on guard, several team members also squatted down and busied themselves.
Hearing Chen Ding's words, they all sighed with emotion:
"Yes, I heard that it was personally developed by Minister Chen of the Equipment Department."
"With this invention alone, Minister Chen has probably saved the lives of many soldiers."
Suddenly, a soldier asked curiously, "Battalion Commander, Minister Chen's surname is also Chen, and your surname is also Chen. Could you be related?"
Chen Ding's face twitched. He stood up and said irritably, "Er Gouzi, stop talking nonsense and get to work!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Ding smiled helplessly, stood up, pulled the spear stuck in the ground, looked around, and was filled with emotion.
When he was in Donghu, he was just a pitiful person who couldn't get enough to eat or wear.
If it weren't for Xiao Yan's help, he might have starved to death long ago.
Now, he has not only become an evolved being, but also a battalion commander in the First Army of the Restoration Army.
He was in charge of more than 500 elite soldiers.
His wife, Xiaoyan, has now become an officer in the logistics department.
Their lives have undergone a complete transformation.
All of this is because of the leader, because of the revival of China that the leader personally established!
He then looked at Er Gouzi, the soldier who had joked with him earlier.
He still remembered that before Er Gouzi joined the Fuxing Army, he was already emaciated from hunger.
But now, they've all eaten their way up to the size of strong men.
And he's the kind with muscles all over his body.
Just as Chen Ding was feeling sentimental.
At the street corner, a brick wall collapsed with a crash.
Amidst the smoke and dust, a massive figure, over two and a half meters tall, slowly rose to his feet.
"Damn it, it's a T2!" a soldier exclaimed. "Why is this huge thing still here?"
The T2 type strength zombie had bulging muscles all over its body and its skin was bluish-gray.
"Scatter! Scatter now!" Chen Ding immediately ordered. "Keep your distance, don't engage in a direct confrontation!"
The soldiers quickly dispersed, using abandoned vehicles and buildings on the street as cover.
Although T2 possessed terrifying strength, its relatively slow movement speed made it completely incapable of posing a threat to these well-trained warriors.
These warriors all transformed into rats, toying with the T2.
T2, annoyed by being toyed with, let out a roar and then swung its thick arm at an abandoned car.
With a loud crash, the car was smashed and deformed, with parts flying everywhere.
Then, as if it had found an outlet for its anger, it began smashing the car like a madman.
Chen Ding and the others smoked as they watched the T2 go berserk.
