Under Xu Yang's threats, the survivors became more obedient, as they made their way towards the other side of the bridge in an orderly manner. The speed at which they crossed the bridge increased by quite a bit.
However, due to the heavy rain, many of the survivors who did not manage to eat the Type 2 Canned Meat fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
However, at this time, no one cared about them. The only thing Xu Yang could do now was to organize his men to distribute the canned food to the survivors. He hoped that the Type 2 Meat could save the lives of the survivors.
Guo Quan looked at everything anxiously, time was of the essence. 2 hours was not enough to move all the survivors across the bridge. From time to time, he would look at the watch on his wrist, his mind racing.
Guo Quan suddenly called Xu Mo to his side and asked: "Xu Mo!! Boats, have you searched for any boats nearby? "
Xu Mo reported loudly: "Commander, I've already brought some men to search. There aren't any boats nearby. "
Before the apocalypse, there were many dredging boats and fishing boats near the river. After the apocalypse, those boats were used for fishing. In the end, they encountered Type 2 Mutant Beasts in the water, and were submerged by those Type 2 Mutant Beasts. After that, there were no more boats around.
Guo Quan's face was steely as he looked at the bridge, while he kept looking at the watch on his wrist. Currently, there were still many people near the bridge, and the only ones who had crossed were the children who represented the future of humanity. The women were in the process of crossing the bridge. From afar, the intense gunshots rang out, letting everyone know how intense the battle was.
Not long after, the soldiers of the 1st Reserve Regiment had retreated from the frontlines, and arrived at the bridge. They had not slept or rested, and had used all sorts of tools to set up traps and fortifications. They were all exhausted. Although they did not directly participate in the battle, the fortifications they had set up had caused the death of over 10,000 zombies.
"Commander Guo! Yun Fei has led the 1st Reserve Regiment to report for duty! " The young master of the Black Tiger Triad, Yun Fei, had already shaved off his dyed yellow hair, and was dressed in a well-ironed military uniform, as he saluted to Guo Quan in a heroic manner.
The environment could change a person. One was marked by the company one kept. After Yunfei had joined Yue Zhong's group, he had received Chen Shitou's strict training. Under the influence of his comrades, he had gotten rid of the habits of a hedonistic son of a rich family, and had begun to grow in the direction of a true soldier.
"Xu Mo, arrange for the first squad to cross the bridge immediately!!" Guo Quan saluted back to Yunfei before giving an order to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo nodded and brought Yunfei and the first preparatory team to the crowd, preparing to cross the bridge.
"They cut the line!!"
"Why can they cut the queue? They're asking for special treatment!! "
"Why can they cut the queue, but we have to wait here to die? This isn't fair! "
"They were the last to arrive, let them queue behind!! We have to cross the bridge first! "
"…"
Seeing that Yunfei and the rest of the warriors were cutting the queue to cross the bridge, the survivors immediately became restless, as they shouted out loudly.
Instead of worrying about scarcity, those survivors were just honest. On one hand, they were intimidated by Xu Yang's ferocity. On the other hand, Xu Yang's orders were relatively fair and reasonable. They were quite convinced that no one from the privileged class would jump the queue. Now that there were people cutting the queue, the survivors felt that it was unfair!
"I'll f * * k you bastards!!" Xu Yang picked up a megaphone, as he jumped on top of a military jeep and cursed: "Fuck! You bastards! Previously, we told you to gather to cross the bridge. What are you doing? Dawdling, not wanting to leave. When you guys were holed up at home, they had been fighting on the frontlines. In order to stop the zombies from advancing, they had not slept for more than 12 hours! Some of them had even clashed with the zombies, and died in the mouths of the zombies. "
Xu Yang's face turned steely as he scolded loudly: "They are all heroes!! It was them and the soldiers at the frontlines who protected you!! Not only did you bunch of bastards not praise them, but you even scolded them. Are you even human? Do you still have a fucking conscience?? "
Hearing Xu Yang's words, a warm feeling flowed through the hearts of the warriors and Yunfei. They were all heroes. They had used their own efforts to protect many people, hence Yue Zhong would not mistreat them. At this time, their hearts were filled with a sense of recognition towards Yue Zhong.
Many of the warriors from the reserve team shed tears of excitement. After the apocalypse, they were the lowest rung of society, and lived like ants. For a piece of bread, for a jin of rice, no matter how undignified or despicable it was, they had to do it. Those high and mighty officials had always looked down on them, and treated them like trash. They had finally gained respect and dignity from Yue Zhong, and were even called heroes. At this moment, although their bodies were freezing from the cold rain, their hearts were burning with passion.
The survivors were all scolded by Xu Yang to the point that they did not dare make a sound. When Yue Zhong had ordered them to gather, they had been dragging their feet, unwilling to leave their homes. Now, they naturally did not have the confidence to rebut Xu Yang.
"You bunch of people, if you're men, you still have balls down there!! Come over here and pick up your weapons, and go to the frontlines to fight the zombies!! As long as any of you can chop off 10 zombies' heads, I'll be the first to let him cross the bridge, and welcome him as one of us!! "Xu Yang turned to the 20,000 male survivors and barked out.
At the same time, a large number of blades and shields were unloaded from the vehicles, and they fell to the ground, forming a small hill.
These blades and shields were originally sent by Yue Zhong for the 1st Reserve Regiment to train and use in actual combat. There were 4,000 of them. On top of that, there were 6,000 freshly made blades from the military's warehouse.
The military had also realized the problem of ammunition, and in order to have a fighting chance against the zombies when they ran out of ammunition, they had ordered a huge batch of blades. Compared to the bayonets, the machetes were much easier to kill.
The 20,000 male survivors looked at the 10,000 blades and shields, and their eyes flashed with a complicated glint, as they sunk into silence. The horde was truly terrifying, and seeing how the military was retreating and Yue Zhong's troops were barely holding on, it was easy to imagine. Against such a terrifying existence, if they were not careful, they would lose their lives. They naturally did not want to die.
Xu Yang looked at the 20,000 male survivors with disdain, as he spat out: "Pei! A bunch of cowards without balls!! Not men! Since you're not men, you'd better behave yourselves and wait for my arrangements! Don't move or talk nonsense, otherwise my gun won't have eyes! "
"I'm a man! I'll go kill the zombies!! " A 1.8m tall man strode out from the crowd, holding a steel blade and a steel shield as he roared out: "I'm Tian Hu!! I'm a man!! Who's a man, pick up a blade and come with me!! "
"I'm Hai Ming Feng!! I'm a man! I'm not a coward!! "
"I'm Shen Xiong!! I'm also a man, I'm not a coward!! "
Tian Hu's shout seemed to ignite the bloodlust in the hearts of the 20,000 survivors, as they walked out one by one, and picked up their blades and shields, shouting out their names, declaring their existence.
Xu Yang looked at Tian Hu's group, and his eyes flashed with a strange glint, as he saluted and shouted: "Good!! You're all men!! You're all my brothers!! Pi Dafu! Give these brothers a can of Type 2 Meat, and bring them to the frontlines to support Commander Yue and the rest!! "
The platoon leader under Xu Yang, Pi Dafu, walked out, and saluted, before leading the 6,000 hot-blooded men towards the area where the gunfire was the most intense.
There were many good men, but there were also many cowards. Out of the 20,000 male survivors, only 6,000 of them were brave and courageous men. The rest of the survivors lowered their heads, not daring to meet Xu Yang's gaze, as though they were quails. Not everyone had the courage to face death.
"Trash!" Xu Yang eyed the remaining 13,000 survivors coldly and spat out the word, not bothering to look at them anymore.
Under Pi Dafu's lead, the 6,000 hot-blooded men quickly entered the battlefield and joined the battle against the zombies.
Initially, Yue Zhong's troops were having a tough time, but with the help of these 6,000 hot-blooded men, they managed to stabilize the frontlines.
The ordinary zombies had low combat strength, and only relied on their numbers. Tian Hu wielded his steel blade and shield, and with every swing of his blade, the zombies would either have their heads chopped off, or their bodies sliced in two. He was like a berserk tiger, taking the lead in slaughtering the zombies.
Under Tian Hu's leadership, the morale of his team was greatly boosted, and they continued to kill the zombies, driving the zombies out of the street.
With Tian Hu's new troops slaughtering their way out, the first thing Yue Zhong did was to retreat from the Ning Guang County's 2nd Battalion, which had been fighting for the longest time and was the most fatigued. At the same time, he led the Special Combat Forces and Shen Hongyang's experts to hunt down the evolved zombies. These evolved zombies were a huge threat to Tian Hu, who was mainly made up of ordinary people.
Tian Hu relied on his bloodlust to slaughter 14 zombies, before panting heavily, and the steel blade in his hands felt unusually heavy. He had eaten 2 cans of Type 2 Mutant Meat, and his depleted vitality had been replenished. However, compared to when he was at his peak, there was still a huge gap. After fighting for a while, he could feel his stamina depleting rapidly. After all, he was not an Enhancer, and did not have the stamina to fight a hundred enemies alone.
In front of Tian Hu, over 20 ordinary zombies were surrounding him. Tian Hu charged forward, and like a ferocious tiger, he killed 2 zombies in a row, while the remaining 3 zombies reached out with their claws to grab him.
"Am I going to die?" Tian Hu looked at the claws of the 3 zombies, and his face turned pale, but he did not have the strength to resist.
Just at this time, the five bone blades wantonly slashed through the area, and the zombies around Tian Hu were easily chopped into several pieces.
"Too strong!!! Is this the strength of an Enhancer? " Tian Hu looked at the 20 + ordinary zombies in front of him being chopped into pieces, and at the same time, a large number of zombies were also chopped into pieces by the sharp Bone Blades, and his heart was filled with shock. It was the first time he had seen an Enhancer with such tyrannical strength.
Right at this time, Yue Zhong and White Bones walked up to Tian Hu, as Yue Zhong glanced at him and said: "You are Tian Hu! Not bad!! If you're a man, are you willing to join my army? "
"Yue Zhong!!" Tian Hu's heart trembled, as he stared fixedly at Yue Zhong. Yue Zhong was extremely famous in SY County, and in many versions, Yue Zhong was a 2m-tall man with a ferocious appearance, and a terrifying body that reeked of blood. However, in Tian Hu's eyes, the Yue Zhong in front of him was just an ordinary young man.
However, when Tian Hu looked carefully, he could feel the faint pressure from Yue Zhong's body, as well as the majesty of a superior. He hurriedly replied: "I'm willing!! Very willing!! "
In this post-apocalyptic world, to be able to join a faction, especially a powerful one like the army, was an extremely good thing for ordinary survivors. Becoming a soldier, at least you wouldn't starve to death, and at the same time, you would have the support of a strong army, and you could live with dignity in this world.
It wasn't that Tian Hu didn't want to join the army, it was just that he had no connections, and had offended some despicable people due to his straightforwardness.
"Bring them back!!" Yue Zhong looked at White Bones who was slaughtering the zombies, as he spoke indifferently to Tian Hu.
"Yes!" Tian Hu subconsciously replied, as he looked at White Bones, who was like a tornado that was slicing a large number of zombies into pieces, and led the rest of the men away.
However, the scene of White Bones killing zombies as easily as slaughtering chickens was deeply imprinted in Tian Hu's mind, and he was filled with shock and excitement: "One day, I will become such an expert!"
Tian Hu and his 6,000 men charged at the zombies in a frenzy, and killed over 13,000 zombies. This greatly hindered the advancement of the zombies, and at the same time, bought Yue Zhong and his men a precious hour.
However, the defence of these 6,000 survivors was too low, and they did not have much protection. In this battle, over 900 of them were scratched by the zombies, and were infected with the virus. They could only be executed on the spot.
In that hour, Yue Zhong ordered the 8th Battalion and Ning Guang County's 3rd Battalion to retreat to the other side of the bridge. (To be continued.) If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
