"Such a person, with such powerful firepower, should never be in the hands of an individual!"
"What does Mayor Zhang mean?"
"Please send troops, Brigade Commander Sun, to confiscate the enemy's weapons and detain the perpetrators. The remaining survivors should join the committee."
"With the apocalypse approaching, everyone should agree to follow the official orders and absolutely must not have any thoughts of becoming a mountain king!"
Zhang Yu raised this issue at this time not only because of his concern about the growing power of Dawn City, but also because he intended to send Brigade Commander Sun to lead the charge.
As he and his men grew stronger by absorbing energy crystals, they gradually no longer needed the protection of Sun Jianjun and others.
On the contrary, Sun Jianjun's presence prevented many of his policies from being implemented.
If the survivors in Shanghai are strong, the loss will be to Sun Jianjun's men, and it will also distract him from what's happening within the committee.
Sun Jianjun was a straightforward person, and when he heard Zhang Yu's words, he felt that it was indeed as Zhang Yu said.
Yesterday, I just felt that Huang Zhao was willing to take the initiative to clear out the zombies, which showed that he was a responsible person.
Looking back now, I think these things should have been left to them to do; ordinary people shouldn't have been allowed to possess these firearms.
After his thinking was swayed, Sun Jianhua began to consider how to send someone into Shanghai to contact the other party.
The topics discussed on the committee gradually shifted, but the most crucial issue remained how to manage the other survivors.
......
Half a month after the apocalypse, the situation in the cities, among the survivors and the mutated beasts on Earth has basically stabilized.
The mutated beasts in the mountains and forests competed for victory, and as their population expanded, their appetites increased dramatically.
As food became increasingly scarce, the mutated beasts began heading towards the city.
Meanwhile, most of the human survivors were running out of food reserves and had to expand their activity range in search of food.
During the process of killing zombies, you learn the secret of absorbing crystals and improve your strength to level one or higher.
Following Zhang Yu's advice, a team of one hundred people and a convoy of dozens of transport vehicles were dispatched from the shelter.
Head to an official grain depot 20 kilometers away.
Along the way, sporadic zombies and mutated beasts approached.
The powerful individuals whose energy crystals were absorbed by the military were killed with melee weapons.
After the apocalypse, ammunition is difficult to produce and needs to be used sparingly, and gunfire will attract more zombies.
"It feels like there are a lot more mutated beasts, and many of them have started eating zombies."
"Who cares? Anyone who eats the mutated beast meat knows what it tastes like."
"No normal person would want to eat them anyway, and they can help clear out zombies, so why not?"
"Then let's not kill them if we can avoid it. Keeping them alive can help kill some zombies."
Soldiers would occasionally jump off the trucks from the troop carriers and then catch up with them.
Their individual strength led them to change their previous methods of combat.
"Be careful, everyone. Although there are fewer zombies in the suburbs, the mutated beasts are just as dangerous. Kill them immediately if you see them!"
The officer in the vehicle shouted at his soldiers.
They arrived at the grain depot without incident; it was a hidden official grain depot with a capacity of 100,000 tons.
If all of them are transported back, it will be enough to sustain the more than 3,000 people in the shelter for several years.
The surroundings were quiet; there were no zombies or survivors.
The leader frowned at the sight of some mangled and gnawed skeletons on the ground.
The vehicles stopped, and a group of people walked toward the entrance of the grain warehouse.
Just then, something unexpected happened. There was a noticeable commotion on both sides of the road, and a dark, writhing carpet emerged.
"Squeak squeak squeak!"
"Come back quickly! It's a horde of mutated rats! Open fire!"
The officer in charge was horrified and shouted repeatedly.
Even though the vast majority are only level one mutant beasts, the mutant rats are still the size of a house cat.
The sharp teeth can easily bite through a soldier's protective suit, causing injury.
Gunfire erupted outside the granary on the outskirts of the city as soldiers and mutated rats clashed.
At the start of the expedition, the number of soldiers and survivors who were entrusted with carrying supplies was nearly three hundred.
Fewer than a hundred people managed to escape back to the shelter after being overwhelmed by the rat swarm, most of whom were ordinary survivors who fled as soon as they sensed danger.
Sun Jianjun's face was ashen; he was heartbroken by the loss of his subordinates.
Zhang Yu was also somewhat surprised when he received the news, not expecting that the granary had been occupied by mutated beasts.
However, food is the top priority for the shelter at this time, and if the food stored in the shelter continues to be consumed, it will soon be depleted.
Therefore, the food in the granary must be transported back; if one is occupied, then another one will be used.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu said apologetically to Sun Jianjun:
"Commander Sun, it's all my fault for not sending people to scout ahead of time, which led to the losses."
"How about we switch to another grain warehouse? I'll send someone to check its safety first, and you'll be responsible for ensuring the safety of the transport process."
Sun Jianjun said somewhat angrily:
"We can't let the mutated rat swarm go unchecked. It's not far from here, the mutated beasts are quite intelligent, and they've already memorized us."
"The mutated rat population occupying the granary is growing rapidly. Once they've eaten all the food in the granary, they'll come looking for us."
Zhang Yu broke out in a cold sweat, remembering the terrifying scene.
Having never experienced much combat, Zhang Yu felt a little flustered and, holding Sun Jianjun's hand, said:
"Alright, Commander Sun, what kind of support do you need? We must wipe out all these mutated rats!"
“I will set off with all my soldiers. Those of you who have absorbed energy crystals will also come with us.”
The Shanghai Self-Rescue Committee began mobilizing survivors and weapons and ammunition, ready to set off.
