The battle between humans and the zombie horde was extremely fierce. Zombies poured in from outside the walls, while humans fought desperately from inside. After several hours of fighting, the overwhelming zombie horde finally triumphed, at the cost of heavy ammunition and the sacrifice of three members of the guard team.
The zombie in the red dress led the large group away, turning back as they left, as if to say, "Wait, I'll be back."
After the battle, the scene outside the wall was a complete mess. Piles of zombie corpses lay everywhere, emitting a nauseating stench. Further away, the ground was covered in blood and severed limbs; closer by, there were charred and half-burnt zombie corpses. The concrete road was riddled with craters from grenades, a sight too gruesome to behold.
Some zombie corpses and limbs were still hanging on the wall, dark, filthy, and smelly.
Inside the walls lay many zombie corpses. The three fallen guards had already been collected and set aside by the other guards. This was the second time guards had been killed, following their mission to the armory. Everyone's expressions were somber; some had even shed tears. But everyone knew that becoming a member of the guard meant being prepared to die at any moment.
Everyone was covered in filth. They had thought the wall would stop the zombies, but it turned out that the high wall was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot for the mutated zombies and the horde of zombies. If it weren't for the incendiary bombs and hand-held barriers, the outcome would have been unimaginable.
The people in the high-rise buildings and villas inside the walled area were terrified as they watched the battle unfold outside. They saw zombies climbing the walls one by one and falling down like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Some of the more timid ones were already crying, terrified that the zombies would break through the walls, overrun the entire encircled community, and eventually capture the community again, trapping them inside their houses once more.
They kept praying, hoping that God would bless the guard team so they could defeat the zombie horde.
Very well, they won. The moment they saw the zombies gone, many people who were on edge suddenly lost their strength and collapsed to the ground.
However, Ye Yunyi, Zhao Yong, Wang Zixiang, and Xiao Fang had no time to rest. They organized people to clean up the battlefield, inspect the walls, and reassure the people. It was completely dark by then, and they still hadn't finished cleaning up. But they dared not clean up anymore. The light was poor at night, and the zombies could find them with their keen sense of smell, but they had a hard time finding the zombies. They could only pile the cleaned-up zombies outside into the crater created by the grenade, pile some firewood on top, and set it on fire.
The zombies headed out of the city. The nearest village outside the city was Jiancha Town, and judging by their pace, they would arrive around midnight. With so many zombies, the roadblocks and houses in the village would be no match for them. Moreover, the village now had chickens, ducks, and dogs, which would easily lure the zombies there. Besides, there were even intelligent zombies among them.
Ye Yunyi notified all villages to prepare for the zombie outbreak, intensify patrols, and ensure that anyone found with signs of zombies hides. Village leaders were instructed to report daily, and any unusual situations to higher authorities immediately. Although Ye Yunyi hadn't been in charge for long, and the busy farming season had coincided with this time, she immediately organized and trained a guard team. While they couldn't stop all the zombies, they prevented a complete annihilation.
The advantage of villages over towns is that they are large enough that villagers don't have to stay at home. They can go to the mountains, gather together, or hide underground. Hopefully, they can use all the resources they have to survive this zombie horde.
For areas further away, Ye Yunyi suggested that they dig a larger ditch in the village and introduce water. Although it was uncertain whether the zombies could swim, it would definitely stop some of the zombies and their advance.
Faced with such a zombie horde, rescue was impossible. They were able to protect Jiangyue Community only because they had planned ahead, collecting a large amount of weaponry, building sturdy walls, and assembling a professional defense team. But despite all this, the zombies still broke in, and people still perished.
The next day, the surroundings returned to quiet. After the arrival of the zombie horde, there were even fewer zombies around. Those zombies that were still wandering around left with the main zombie army.
The zombie corpses in the ravine had been burned to ashes, and further away, some zombie corpses lay scattered on the ground. A team of guards continued to collect the corpses and put them in the pit for incineration and burial.
Just as everyone set the body on fire, several military jeeps came off the highway and drove towards the community.
"Come back quickly," Zhao Yong ordered from the city wall.
The guards outside ran quickly into the city walls. Just as they entered the city, the vehicles bypassed the burning zombie corpses and arrived at the gate.
Zhao Yong and a group of guards aimed their guns and arrows at them.
A man stepped out of the jeep. He was tall and imposing, with a strong and agile physique, exuding an aura of authority. He had a square face, a resolute expression, and deep, sharp eyes that revealed determination and decisiveness. His hair was neatly combed back, revealing a broad forehead, giving him a clean and efficient appearance.
He was dressed in a neat military uniform, the colors of which were bright and solemn, highlighting his status and position.
When he got out of the jeep, it was as if a beam of light shone on him, just like when the main character in a short film gets out of the car, there is a special lighting effect.
Aura is a real thing.
When he saw Zhao Yong and his group's formation, he was neither intimidated nor did he feel that they were being presumptuous; he had seen similar scenes many times before.
As the zombie virus broke out and national order collapsed, such organizations proliferated. However, they had already subdued all the organizations they knew of, so they were certain that they could also subdue the organizations here.
After all, the helicopters they sent out yesterday to track these zombie hordes discovered this place. Their combat capabilities are quite good, with grenades and incendiary bombs, but this place is only two residential areas with a population of less than 1,000. There are newly planted crops inside the walls, which should be ordinary people plus some soldiers.
Based on the video replay, only about 100 people fought yesterday. Even if they manage to capture this place, they would be enough. Previous organizations were either disorganized or composed of ruthless individuals. This place, however, is similar to an aid station—organized, disciplined, and protective of civilians. This is something worth negotiating with.
So today he brought the best personnel from the original army, first with courtesy and then with force.
"Hello, we are from the ambulance station, and also personnel from the military region originally stationed in City C. I am the highest-ranking officer here, my surname is Zhang, and everyone calls me Commander Zhang. We are here today to talk to your boss about ambulance matters."
