Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Remerge
The soldiers including Wuli let out a sigh of relief as they heard Xiaoyun's answer.
"Is it just me or is the road awfully quiet? But the marks on the ground shows there's cars that recently drove by... must be Jixi's cars." Xiaoyun commented as they could see the water plant in the distance.
"Yeah it is a bit odd... still no response from them either." Wuli agreed with Xiaoyun.
After walking for ten minute, they saw all the zombies on the ground.
"Hm, all these are invisible mutants dead... and all these broken glasses." Wuli had a bad feeling.
All the soldiers started to feel a little nervous as they ready their weapon and became more and more paranoid to their surrounding.
"Shit, let's take a break somewhere more clear..." Xiaoyun decided not to stop as the forest surrounding the road didn't felt safe to rest.
After walking for twenty more minute, they finally could see the water plant entrance.
"More dead zombies on the road... must of been a blood path." Xiaoyun mumbled.
As they walk closer and closer to the entrance, not a single zombie was alive.
"Where are the zombies?" Xiaoyun asked but no one had any answer.
All the soldiers looked just as confuse as Xiaoyun as they could only see bodies of zombies crushed to pieces on the road.
"Everyone can rest, make your your surrounding is safe." Xiaoyun decided to stop as he felt a lot safer with the entrance being a massive open parking lot.
After resting for ten minute, everyone got back up and ready their rifles.
"5th, 6th, and 7th company, you guys lead the charge. 8th and 9th you watch the left flank. 10th and 11th watch the right flank... All other company stay in the center." Xiaoyun spoke through the walkies talkie.
All the soldiers got into formation and entered the water facility.
As soon as they walked a few step inside, they could see a massive zombie horde in the distance attacking a facility, with more zombies flooding in the other entrance.
Soon, some zombies noticed Xiaoyun's group and started diverting toward them.
"Don't open fire yet, let's find a high ground first." Xiaoyun forbid soldiers from firing.
After looking for a second, Wuli noticed an administrative building in the distance.
"We can probably go up there... if there's no entrance to the roof we can just have someone climb the pipe." Wuli pointed out.
"Sure. Everyone start moving toward that direction!" Xiaoyun issued the order.
As the soldiers started moving toward the building, Xiaoyun signaled the soldiers to fire.
The soldiers finally opened fired at the zombies as they got within a hundred steps.
The gunshots lead to more zombies running towards them, but the overwhelming firepower of four thousand people instantly shut down the small horde trying to approach them.
As they got to the administrative building, suddenly Xiaoyun's walkies talkie's started having voice coming out.
"Xiaoyun you there?" It was Jixi's voice.
"Yes I'm at the water facility, where are you guys at?" Xiaoyun asked.
"We're at the administrative building, you should be able to see it after you walk in the entrance and turn right." Jixi replied.
"What a coincident, we're walking toward there right now." Xiaoyun ended the conversation as he could see soldiers walking out of the administrative building in the distance.
---
"Everyone! The main army is here! Get up!" Jixi announced out loud.
All the soldier's moral instantly skyrocketed as they had been fighting the zombies for the entire night at the entrance.
They were barely could get any sleep due to the constant gunshots... until few hours ago, zombies stopped coming to their building.
After getting out of the building, the soldiers could see their fellow comrade now.
"Jixi what happen?" Xiaoyun and Jixi both walked toward to the center of the two groups.
"We got attacked by invisible zombies, then we drove pass the entrance and hide in this building until you guys arrived here." Jixi made a quick response.
"Do you know where's the 1st brigade?" Xiaoyun asked.
"I'm 90% sure they are over to the other side of the water plants, where all the zombies are at right now... Should we go right now?" Jixi asked back.
"Let's have everyone eat and rest inside the building first. Then we'll decide it next." Xiaoyun noticed all the soldiers were extremely tired as they had been marching from five in the morning to all the way to two in the afternoon.
After three hours...
"What should we do next?" One of the captain asked.
"Anyone have any suggestion?" Xiaoyun looked at all the captain in the private office.
All twenty of them stay silent as they looked over to each other, until Gantian decided to speak up.
"We should go help the 1st brigade right now." All the captains nodded in agreement.
"True... but I was thinking of something else first." Xiaoyun pushed the question back to the captains to let them think for themselves.
"Should we deal with the other entrance first? That massive hole with zombies flooding in mean if we try to help the 1st brigade, we're going to get sandwich between them." Wuli replied back.
"That's exactly what I was thinking of... Except I was looking for ways to block that massive hole in the gate." Xiaoyun brought up another question.
"Maybe some sandbags. I saw them laying around at the entrance we came from earlier." Jixi chimed in.
"Good idea... Let's use that for now." Xiaoyun decided to go with that plan.
---
After getting all the soldiers back up after feeling more rested, Xiaoyun directed the main army to clear the other entrance.
Meanwhile, the fast response team started using the buses and trucks to transport the sandbags from the main entrance to the where the main army was at.
After the main army cleared the zombies all the way back to within hundred step away from the gates, the fast response team ran up with the sandbags and blocked the entrance as fast as they could.
"1st and 2nd company Grenade out!" Xiaoyun yelled out as the zombies started approaching closer to the sandbags still not finish blocking the gates.
The grenade were immediately throw toward the zombies, clearing a entire area around the gates.
Finally the gates was completely blocked off as the sandbag patched back up the hole.
But the zombies started climbing the metal fence as they couldn't go through gates anymore.
The soldiers started firing at the zombies climbing up the fence and cleared most of it.
Still, occasionally an small zombies horde seem to always wonder all the way here every ten minute as Xiaoyun timed it.
"Something is attracting zombies to run towards here. This isn't normal." Wuli noticed it as well.
"Nothing we can do for now... 19th and 20th company, you stay behind and guard this entrance, 17th and 18th go guard the main entrance we came from. Jixi and Gantian can you guys lead those two?" Xiaoyun requested.
"Sure, we can do that." Both of them accepted the order.
"Everyone else, we are going to save our fellow comrade today." Xiaoyun announced.
All the soldiers were in excitement as they could see the mission being finished after this.
With four company gone, Xiaoyun still had sixteen company with him. Including the fast response team with the cars, buses and trucks.
"All the soldiers get off the buses and trucks. Except the drivers, keep driving it at the front." Xiaoyun issued another order as the soldiers started marching toward the other side of the water plants.
As they approached the other buildings, more and more zombies started to appear. But they were no match against four thousands soldier's firepower.
Soon they finally met the main zombie horde attacking the massive building that they saw earlier in the distance.
Suddenly, Xiaoyun's walkies talkies picked up a signal.
"Hello who's this?" Xiaoyun asked.
"We're the 1st Combined arms brigade of the 74th army group. You guys are?" The man over the other side asked back.
"We received you guys sent out a distress signal so we came by to help." Xiaoyun replied back.
"Thank you so mu——" The voice cut out as the signal disappeared.
"Hello? You there?" Xiaoyun yell and tried to send the signal, but there was no response.
"Shit.. we're going need to speed up." Xiaoyun mumbled.
"We're going as fast as we can already." Wuli pulled out her pistol as more and more zombies were attacking from all three sides as they pushed forward.
"Not fast enough. There aren't more zombies from the outside so every zombie we kill here won't be replenished..." Xiaoyun suddenly had a idea.
"All cars, buses, and trucks, full speed ahead." Xiaoyun spoke to the drivers through the walkies talkie.
All the vehicle started speeding up and ran over the zombies as it cleared an massive area in front of them until it jammed and stopped moving completely.
The soldiers quickly moved forward with the space created and continue shooting the zombies.
Just before the zombies were about to get inside the vehicle to kill the driver, the soldiers was able to save them in time.
"This was such a risky idea. They could of died there." Wuli was repulsed by Xiaoyun's decision.
"If we wait longer, more people is going to die... We have to do something." Xiaoyun defended his decision.
