Baozi regained consciousness and stepped out of the room, rolling up his sleeves to check his watch under the porch light.
"Damn! Only slept for an hour and they woke me up." Baozi thought about looking for Gan Shang, but then he saw the East Wall was about to give in.
There was no other choice, he had to rush over.
If they didn’t go, and the zombies crawled in, they were all doomed.
He tripped over something and nearly fell.
It was Duanmei and Lao Sun, they were both still up there when Baozi came down himself.
Baozi looked back and saw the two lying on the ground, sleeping like dead pigs, feeling a tinge of sorrow.
When would such days end?
Lack of sleep, lack of rest, extreme scarcity.
Ever since Gan Xiong and his group hurriedly arrived.
The zombie onslaught had been momentarily stalled.
They relied on the trucks to fight the zombies.
Because there were too many zombies, they couldn’t afford to worry about wasting bullets.
So many bullets were used up, but in the end, the zombies were eliminated.
But they also suffered many casualties.
There was no time to attend to these—Gan Xiong took charge, mobilizing all the manpower and resources of the base to repair the wall urgently.
Little did they expect that just after they had wiped out one wave of zombies, another, larger Zombie Tide was drawn by their gunfire from a farther distance.
Gan Xiong showed his ruthless side, forcing other powers within the base to form a Suicide Squad, to fight the zombies outside the wall that collapsed due to the earthquake.
The other families were somewhat reluctant, but Gan Xiong killed one person in anger.
It almost caused a mutiny.
But after all, as the founder of the base, whether in terms of numbers or firepower, he was the strongest.
Therefore, the people from those families had no choice but to comply, albeit reluctantly, and sent out their own personnel.
Mostly these people were family men. For their families, they had no choice but to go up.
"Xu Min, you can rest assured. You take the brothers to stop the zombies, and I’ll take care of your family," an old man from the Qian Family told a sturdy middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man glanced at his wife and child in the distance, a look of affection flickered in his eyes, but he couldn’t retreat. If it weren’t for the food provided by the Qian Family, his family would have starved to death long ago.
"I know, Boss Qian, you must keep your word!" Xu Min stared at the Qian Family boss and said solemnly.
"Don’t worry. Go quickly. Gan Xiong is urging again," Boss Qian said.
Xu Min took one last look at his family in the distance, then resolutely left.
At the same time, there were hundreds like him.
All tasked with stopping the zombies, a mission certain to result in death.
They carried explosives and several vehicles, blocking the zombies in front of the wall.
But when he led his men out of the wall, what he saw were dense masses of zombies.
This was just the zombies visible under the light. Farther away, in the darkness, there were even more zombies than he could see.
His heart thudded, and he considered retreating.
But he quickly steeled himself, knowing that if he fell back, they would starve without the food from the Qian Family.
Moreover, if the wall wasn’t rebuilt in time, once the zombies broke in, everyone would die.
Death either way, might as well go down fighting the zombies.
Gunfire, explosions, all around.
Initially, to avoid attracting more zombies, they intended not to use firearms, but later found that without guns, they simply couldn’t stop them.
Their running speed was so fast, like devils. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fire.net
These damned zombies, after disappearing in the high heat for a while, became even tougher to deal with.
"Brothers, let’s go!" Xu Min saw that some people in front could no longer hold and were retreating, and he shouted to the people behind him.
They charged toward the zombies without looking back.
But there were a few who, after standing still for a few seconds, attempted to run back toward the base.
Gan Xiong, seeing this, did not hesitate to shoot them dead.
If everyone retreated, hoping to hide behind others, expecting others to resist, then there would be no resistance, and everyone would die.
Gan Xiong’s warlord nature was fully displayed.
"Those who dare to turn back, kill them," Gan Xiong told Lao Zhuang at his side.
For the purpose of constructing this wall, he had already suffered a firepower loss that pained him, as well as his men.
He couldn’t be the only one with heartache, the others had to come help as well.
Gathering the strengths of several families, the wall was being built at a visibly fast pace.
hours. The wall, tens to hundreds of meters long, was already more than half constructed.
Due to the hot weather, the concrete was setting remarkably fast.
But as the temperature dropped, the concrete set increasingly slow.
They needed at least another 18 hours to completely finish building the wall.
Moreover, the newly built wall needed time to harden and become more solid; otherwise, it would be laughable if the zombies could simply knock it down.
And those Suicide Squad members were the first line of defense against the zombies.
