After last night's zombie attack, everyone was on edge.
To prevent zombies from launching nighttime attacks, Platoon Leader Liu specifically chose a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and also dug many trenches.
This time, he didn't hesitate and mobilized all the young and strong men to work together. Wang Bin also led Li Dazhu and others to help. Everyone worked hard to save their lives, and the fortifications were completed in a short time.
To avoid attracting the attention of zombies at night, Platoon Leader Liu also ordered that no campfires be lit and no loud talking be allowed.
Having witnessed the horror of the zombies last night, no one dared to object.
After arranging everything, Platoon Leader Liu walked up to Wang Bin and said seriously, "Are you satisfied?"
Wang Bin looked up at him, smiled, and said, "Sit down, you've made great progress."
Upon hearing about Wang Bin's significant progress, Platoon Leader Liu's eyes welled up with tears.
He didn't know what was going on, but after being reprimanded by Wang Bin, he felt that Wang Bin was like Company Commander Zhao, making him want to prove himself in front of Wang Bin. He felt that as long as he proved himself in front of Wang Bin, it would be the same as proving himself in front of Company Commander Zhao.
But he also understood from Wang Bin's words that there was still room for improvement and that he had not yet met Wang Bin's requirements.
"May I ask, what is there that I could have done better?"
"It's great that you can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, but you can't do all the defense work. I've noticed that quite a few people in the crowd actually have guns. I think you should organize them all. Also, even if some young and strong men don't have guns, you can get them some sharpened wooden sticks as weapons. That way, even if the zombies attack, at least we'll have the power to fight back!"
"Oh, how come I didn't think of that? Thank you for reminding me!"
Upon hearing Wang Bin's words, Platoon Leader Liu seemed to wake from a dream, quickly stood up, and went to mobilize the able-bodied men.
Soon, Platoon Leader Liu mobilized more than a hundred able-bodied men and led them to the woods to cut down trees and make sticks. He also sharpened some sticks and stuck them upside down in the ground, so that these sticks would come in handy whenever the zombies attacked.
By the time I finished doing all this, it was getting dark.
Platoon Leader Liu then divided the organized young men into two groups: one with guns and the other with wooden sticks. He also selected some men and women from the crowd who seemed physically strong and instructed them to gather everyone together if the zombies attacked, to prevent panic and accidents.
Wang Bin was very satisfied with the arrangement made by Platoon Leader Liu. This not only strengthened the team's capabilities but also reduced the need to disperse troops to take care of civilians.
If we want to survive, then we must all unite.
The group sat or lay down by the fire, gathered on a hill that wasn't too big.
The hill has three very high slopes, which zombies absolutely cannot climb. They only need to defend one narrow passage.
Wang Bin lay on the grass, looking at the starry sky. The stars were very bright tonight, twinkling beautifully.
He used to spend so much time studying and playing games that he rarely had a chance to properly look at the stars, but now that he has plenty of time at night, it's hard not to look at them.
Perhaps everyone was still frightened by what happened last night, as many people were too afraid to sleep, and they just stared blankly at the starry sky.
But after 10 o'clock, many people got sleepy and fell asleep.
Before the apocalypse, 10 p.m. was the time when young people were having the most fun, but now that entertainment options are gone, people have gradually developed the habit of going to bed early.
If you're hungry, going to bed early is a good idea. You won't be hungry once you're asleep, and it also reduces energy expenditure.
"Zombie attack!"
Around 1 a.m., a soldier on guard duty suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone awake from their sleep.
"Quickly, everyone go defend! Those with guns, go to both sides of the passage; those without guns, throw trees under the passage to block it!" Upon hearing that the zombies were attacking, Platoon Leader Liu hurriedly stopped everyone from going to defend.
When organizing everyone, Platoon Leader Liu had already assigned tasks, so everyone acted in an orderly manner.
The women and children were terrified when they learned of the zombie attack, but the chaos was quickly brought under control by the people who had been organized by Platoon Leader Liu to calm them down. Then, they spontaneously went to help move the wood.
When making the wooden sticks, Platoon Leader Liu made arrangements, cutting down a lot of trees and placing them on the hill. If zombies came, these logs would be thrown down into the passage to block them. If no zombies attacked, the logs would be left there so that they wouldn't have to clear them out when they went out.
Platoon Leader Liu fired a flare, and people discovered that there weren't as many zombies attacking this time as last time, but there were still at least ten or twenty thousand.
On the plains, they would only have to flee for their lives, but now that they have natural defenses, they can try to defend themselves.
"shot!"
At Platoon Leader Liu's command, everyone immediately opened fire.
A burst of gunfire felled a large group of zombies, but more zombies swarmed in after them.
After firing for more than ten minutes, everyone was running low on bullets.
Wang Bin had already used up a lot of bullets, and now he only had a little over a thousand rounds left in his system space. These bullets were not very useful, so he quickly got up and went to find Platoon Leader Liu.
"Platoon Leader Liu, we can't keep firing; we need to conserve some bullets!"
"Oh no! But there are still many zombies behind us, what should we do?"
"It's simple, we attack the zombies that climb up in batches with wooden sticks."
"That's the only way! Ceasefire, ceasefire, everyone ceasefire, everyone grab sticks and guard the passage!"
