The days passed slowly, and the rescue center finally eliminated all the zombies, but did not immediately launch a siege against Ye Yunyi and her group.
In addition to reinforcing the protective measures of the aid station, they were constantly searching for supplies. Apart from the villages and towns liberated by Ye Yunyi and her team, the villages and towns in the other three directions were still firmly under the control of the aid station.
Although staple foods are not in season this time of year, there are plenty of fruits, vegetables, and rapeseed oil available. During the weeks that the shelter has been besieged by zombies, the food reserves are running low, especially for those at the top, whose supplies are not as good as before, and they have long been complaining.
Therefore, providing supplies was more important than attacking Ye Yunyi and her group. However, they did not know that during these days of waiting, Ye Yunyi and her group received a satellite phone call from the central government at their temporary residence in the city.
They indicated that they had tried to communicate with City C, but received no response. To avoid alerting the enemy, they had already assembled and dispatched a unit by plane to City C, which would arrive in one day, to prepare for rendezvous.
It seems Zhang Sheng is incredibly audacious, going so far as to feign disappearance. Even a single military unit wouldn't know how many people are involved; would they need to send personnel to help take over the aid station?
But we'll discuss everything once we make contact.
At 7 a.m. the next day, at the original airport, a plane came to a stop, the door opened, and two fully armed soldiers with guns came out. After confirming that the surroundings were safe, a person who looked like a leader came out.
“Minister, be careful,” one of the soldiers warned.
Medical Minister Tang Jianguo nodded slightly, then steadily stepped out of the cabin. Following closely behind was General Sun Wanjing, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings like a hawk. Next, one by one, strong and robust soldiers disembarked in an orderly fashion, their posture upright and their movements perfectly synchronized, carrying various advanced weapons and equipment on their backs. The cold metallic texture gleamed in the sunlight, seemingly proclaiming their power silently. After about one hundred soldiers had disembarked, they quickly assembled into formation.
General Sun Wanjing stood at the head of the column, his expression solemn and dignified. He called out loudly, "We have come here with a heavy responsibility. Everyone must remain vigilant." At that moment, the distant roars of zombies echoed, seemingly taunting these uninvited guests. Tang Jianguo frowned and looked at Sun Wanjing, who clenched his fist and gave the order: "Move out! Proceed to the designated rendezvous point!" Thus, this highly capable team marched towards their objective, kicking up clouds of dust as they gradually disappeared into the post-apocalyptic landscape.
After the team walked out of the airport exit, Ye Yunyi, Zhao Yong, Wang Zixiang and four others were already waiting there. Because Wang Zichao was not good at fighting, Xiao Deng accompanied them this time.
Everyone was happy to see so many people. Luckily, they had arranged for two working buses in advance, otherwise there really wouldn't have been enough room for everyone.
Ye Yunyi stepped forward, introduced herself to Minister Tang and General Sun, and then led them into the city to find their base.
At noon, the soldiers found their own rooms in the buildings of the base and took out their dry rations to eat.
General Sun and Minister Tang felt that Ye Yunyi and her group were just ordinary people, but they had the courage to come to Y City for help. However, their most important purpose in coming here was to find those who were immune and to develop an antidote.
General Sun and Minister Tang, along with their trusted assistants Li and Yuan, went to the room where Ye Yunyi and the others were to discuss the battle plan.
General Sun and his men wanted to try diplomacy first, but Ye Yunyi and her group wanted to catch them off guard and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
But attacks always hurt innocent people. General Sun said, "We already have so few people, every one who dies is one less, we must try our best to preserve our personnel."
"If you lose all the soldiers you brought because of this, General Sun, do you think it's worth it?" Ye Yunyi asked.
"We are soldiers; we have long since disregarded life and death," General Sun replied firmly, his eyes filled with determination.
Ye Yunyi couldn't help but feel a silent respect for General Sun.
I don't know why, but all those ordinary people, whether in novels or in reality, are like background characters in a story. When they appear, it's only to drive the plot forward. They either unanimously curse or unanimously praise, like NPCs.
They are weak and evil, as if they can be whatever color you want them to be, without any independent consciousness and no control over their own lives.
But every time a choice is made, they are the ones who are sacrificed. Ye Yunyi is one of the masses, and she can understand them, but in a way, these masses are really foolish and easily led astray.
Therefore, General Sun is someone Ye Yunyi can't become. She thinks soldiers are more important because they are noble and useful. She thinks the people in her community and Wangjiagou are important because they are the people she protects. To some extent, she is selfish.
Ye Yunyi remained silent for a moment, listening to their conversation.
In the end, they decided to find out the situation first and use the classic tactic of "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" to control the situation before negotiating.
That same day, they reached the north and seized control of a six-man team carrying grain.
Through interrogation, they learned about the personnel and layout of the ambulance.
The aid station retains pre-apocalyptic high technology. The outermost city wall looks ordinary, but it also has traps. If anyone attacks, bullets will be fired in response.
They also had ample firearms and ammunition, and the core area where Zhang Sheng and his team worked and lived still retained the security devices from before the apocalypse.
The security system has biometric identification capabilities, allowing only specific high-ranking personnel to enter the core area. It also features an internal laser defense network capable of instantly shredding any intruder. Furthermore, it includes an intelligent monitoring system that analyzes behavioral patterns and flags any unusual activity.
General Sun was quite familiar with this kind of security device. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Fortunately, we found this group. We can pretend to be them and infiltrate first. If we can coordinate from the inside and outside, it would be best to capture the position with fewer casualties."
General Sun asked his assistant, Li, to bring in a woman named Bai Que, who was an expert in this field.
General Sun selected three people: Zhao Yong, Xiao Deng, and Wang Weifeng. Together with Tian Ke, the captain of the previous six-person team, they formed a new six-person team. Because there were no women in the team, Ye Yunyi could not participate this time.
After they were ready, they set off for the aid station.
Thanks to Tian Ke, they were able to enter the ambulance smoothly.
The sight they encountered at the ambulance sent a chill down their spines. They couldn't believe that the scene inside the ambulance could be more tragic than what they saw outside.
