In Dawn City, a large amount of supplies, including firearms, ammunition, and titanium alloy weapons, were being transported from the inner city to the outer city.
Members who had not yet reached level three received their equipment and then left the city.
Gunfire erupted in the western part of Shanghai, attracting a large number of zombies toward Dawn City.
The zombies stretched endlessly, seemingly without end.
After attracting a certain number of zombies, the reconnaissance team will issue a warning and switch to melee weapons to fight the zombies.
The placement attracted too many zombies, making it impossible to resist the counterattack that pushed them to the outside of Dawn City's walls.
"There are just so many zombies."
"Otherwise, do you think we haven't been able to clear a ten-kilometer area in half a month?"
"So Dawn City has so many weapons and equipment. Why didn't we bring them out sooner?"
A stray bullet grazed the cheek of the Level 3 member who was blocking the zombies in front of him before heading towards the zombie.
Fortunately, they were all wearing full-body armor made by the forging team and did not suffer any actual damage.
"Okay, I know why."
"And the gunshots attracted way too many zombies."
"We'll need to hold off the zombies for a while; it would be a real joke if they managed to counterattack."
Most survivors who have just acquired firearms are not very familiar with them, and when they shoot from the rear, they often hit other members who are blocking the zombies in the front.
The bullets rang out loudly as they struck the titanium alloy armor, drawing complaints from many people.
Even though I know my armor can protect me, having a bunch of useless teammates behind me is still a real pain.
The Dawn City forces advanced methodically along the zombie-hunting defense line.
Ahead were thousands of Level 3 members clad in armor, tasked with stopping the zombies from advancing.
Behind them were tens of thousands of ordinary members, each carrying a gun.
Once you're familiar with the firearms you're using, your efficiency in killing zombies increases dramatically, and you can even slowly push through the zombie lines.
This combat method, which allows survivors to focus solely on killing zombies from the rear without worrying about them charging forward, gradually diminishes the fear of zombies in the hearts of these ordinary people.
With a gun in hand and teammates by my side, there's nothing to be afraid of when it comes to zombies.
Gradually, many people switched to firearms, took spears, and went forward to engage in close combat with the zombies.
After all, killing a zombie with a firearm only earns 0.3 points, while killing a zombie with a melee weapon earns a full 1 point.
This zombie-clearing operation is both an expansion of Huang Zhao's ambitions and a feast for the members of Dawn City to earn points.
......
Thirty kilometers outside of Shanghai, there is a large shelter.
This is a shelter built by the Shanghai government to prepare for emergencies, capable of accommodating 5,000 people for a month.
The location is hidden and requires authorized personnel to access.
It wasn't until ten days after the apocalypse that a group of people arrived and activated it.
After a period of expansion, and by gathering survivors who had escaped from Shanghai, the shelter now had a capacity of over three thousand people.
"Commander Sun, you can't go in..."
"Mayor Zhang is inside discussing matters with other representatives."
A man dressed in a suit, looking like a bodyguard, stood in front of them.
However, they were unable to resist the opponent's strength and were easily pushed away by a pair of large hands.
A man with a resolute face, who looked to be in his prime, entered the shelter office and called out:
"Mayor Zhang, why was the rescue team withdrawn?"
Inside the office, a middle-aged man with a large belly was giving instructions to two other people.
Upon seeing the person rushing in, Zhang Yu frowned slightly in displeasure and waved for the two people who were listening to the lecture to leave.
"Old Sun, can't you see I'm talking to two committee members? What could be more urgent than something concerning the lives of three thousand people?"
Sun Jianjun slammed his fist on the table and shouted:
"The shelters are far from full capacity. If you start restricting the gathering of survivors now, where will these homeless people go to seek refuge?"
"Have you checked on the supplies at the shelter? If you keep taking in more people, we might not be able to last a month!"
"We can't let the people suffering from disasters not even have a place to stay!"
Zhang Yu was a little annoyed, feeling that Brigade Commander Sun was too difficult to communicate with.
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The policies for shelters will be drastically changed."
"I hope to get Brigade Commander Sun's support at that time."
"I heard you're going to send the survivors outside to work? To build temporary shelters and protection outside the refuge."
"This is necessary. The shelters have limited capacity, and it's impossible to let everyone in."
"In addition, the search and control of supplies must also be arranged properly; it's not enough to just hide in a shelter."
“...”
After listening to the long and drawn-out explanation, Sun Jianjun felt dizzy and confused, and quickly interrupted:
"You politicians, all you do is paperwork and manipulate things. I only have two requirements!"
"The rescue work cannot stop! The soldiers' supplies cannot be reduced! Otherwise, I'll take everyone and leave!"
"Of course not, you are the guardians of our shelter. Without you, we would have been eaten by corpses long ago."
Zhang Yu adjusted his glasses and asked casually:
"How is the collection of that zombie crystal going? Absorption is risky, so it needs to be handed over to Dr. Jiang for further research. It can only be widely distributed after it is confirmed to be harmless."
Hearing this, Sun Jianjun scoffed and said dismissively:
"You're all cowards. I've been absorbing this for so long and nothing's happened to me."
"Apart from what the soldiers absorbed, the rest were collected and sent to the laboratory."
"That's not how it works. It's better to be wary of the unknown."
As the two were talking, a voice came from the pager on Sun Jianjun's waist:
"Commander, there are a lot of gunshots coming from inside Shanghai. Many zombies are heading back into the city."
"Can you tell which unit it is?"
"Unidentifiable. We have sent people to investigate, but there has been no news yet."
"I'll be right back."
Without lingering in the office, Sun Jianjun headed towards Shanghai after leaving.
After Sun Jianjun left, Zhang Yu's originally amiable face immediately darkened.
"A bunch of brutes, even now that it's confirmed the apocalypse is global, they're still thinking about the 'I'm for everyone' mentality."
"If you treat them well, they should appreciate it. There are over three thousand burdens among them!"
Mayor Zhang took out a handful of energy crystals from the drawer and began to absorb them.
Judging from the absorption speed, he has obviously broken through to level three, no weaker than Sun Jianjun before.
Of the forces expanding in all four directions from Dawn City, the western side is naturally advancing the fastest.
This is the direction out of the city; there are relatively fewer zombies there.
In just one morning, they made progress of more than ten kilometers and will soon be able to completely clear the road out of the city.
