Chapter XI
September 12, 5 a.m.
"Sir, it's me. Be... I understand. Be... Be sure to complete the mission! Good... Well..."
Henry put down the phone, and then said to the people next to him, "Everyone assemble!" ”。
The man next to him nodded, and then left.
After about two minutes, twelve men in military uniforms entered and quickly formed a line.
Everyone was dressed neatly in military uniform, standing straight with their chests held high, waiting for the lecture from their superiors.
And the person who was standing next to Henry just now also returned to the place where he had just stood. He lifted his glasses and looked at everyone solemnly.
"I just received an order from the upper peak. We are about to carry out a mission to protect our people and evacuate them to a safe place, are you confident?! ”
Henry put on his hat, glanced over everyone, paused and said.
"Yes! Resolutely complete the mission! ”
The twelve soldiers replied in unison, their voices loud and neat.
"In view of the situation of our troops, the superiors have supplemented us with a part of the troops so that we can better carry out the task."
Henry nodded in satisfaction and pointed outside.
"Now give you five minutes to get your gear on, and when you're done, everyone assemble and go!"
Henry didn't pause and continued to give orders.
"Yes!"
The soldiers gave Henry a military salute and went out to prepare.
"Where is the location of this mission?"
Seeing that everyone was out, Ted asked Henry a question.
Henry was a lieutenant in the Sea Blue Army and had done many tricky tasks. And Ted next to him is his lieutenant, and the two have been working together for a while.
"This is a very special mission. We need to cooperate with the main force to evacuate the crowd in the northern urban area of Hailan District and protect their safe evacuation. ”
Henry unfolded the map on his desk and pointed to the northern city.
"Well, what do you mean when you say this mission is special?"
Ted didn't quite understand, so he asked again.
"The enemy we are going to deal with this time is said to be a group of patients infected with the "rabies virus", who are dangerous and extremely aggressive. We try not to hurt them when allowed. ”
Henry took a sip of water and explained.
"What we want to do is to protect people from being infected as much as possible. For those who are already infected, we need to control them and stop them from hurting people. ”
Henry explained the mission in detail, and Ted listened and fell into deep thought.
Five minutes later, a soldier walked in. After giving a military salute to Henry and Ted, report that everyone was ready.
"Okay, I got it. Deliver my orders, and everyone will go. The situation is urgent, and on the way Ted will give you a detailed explanation of the mission to be carried out this time. ”
Henry slipped his matching gun into the holster and said to the soldier.
In this way, Lieutenant Henry led his troops, a full thirty men, to the target area.
But what Henry never expected was that this seemingly "simple" mission plunged him into endless darkness and fear...
In the early morning of September 14,
A new day has begun.
The sky was so blue that there were hardly any clouds to be seen. The sun is high and the temperature seems to be higher. The streets are the same as the previous two days, roaming with "cannibalistic" zombies. The "riots" that took place last night did not seem to affect them.
Last night, Mike, who was standing on the roof of the restaurant, watched as the Ashley trio escaped from under his nose.
He didn't have anything to do but shoot them in a rage, but Mike wasn't the kind of person to sit idly by.
So, he saw the opportunity to escape smoothly along the escape route of Ashley and the others...
As for where Mike went, whether he survived or not, everything is unknown.
And the people who remained in the restaurant knew that they had been abandoned when they heard the gunshots.
The black student went crazy and grabbed a chair and smashed it against the glass window, smashing it into a crack.
Subsequently, a fierce quarrel broke out and the crowd complained to each other.
Later, the glass window was eventually overwhelmed by the zombies and cracked. The end of everyone in the restaurant can be imagined...
Ashley stood by the window, staring blankly at the place where his uncle had been attacked by zombies last night.
Tears could still be seen on her face, and it was clear that Uncle Jimmy's departure had taken a huge toll on her.
Last night Ashley tried desperately to save her uncle, but she couldn't break free of Henry. So she watched her uncle being swallowed up by zombies, but she couldn't do anything herself.
Remorseful, Ashley tried again and again to leave the building and run out to find his uncle. However, they were all stopped by Henry and others.
Henry couldn't help it, he was afraid that Ashley would do something stupid, so he put Ashley on top of the iron guardrail.
After a night, Ashley's mood had largely calmed down.
She hadn't slept all night, and she had been in that way for a long time. She just stood by the window, didn't eat or talk, and just looked out the window.
"Eat something, you haven't eaten in a long time, your body won't be able to stand it if you go on like this."
Ted carried a plate with a few slices of bread and a glass of water on it.
Seeing that Ashley ignored him, he sighed and put the plate on the ground, and turned to leave.
"Still not eating?"
Henry sat on top of a box and looked up to ask Ted.
Ted shook his head and sat down on the ground next to Henry. Not far from the two of them, there were several people who looked like soldiers.
The military uniforms worn by the three men were tattered and bloodstained. Their faces were dirty, and some of them had wounds on their faces and were wrapped in gauze.
On the other hand, Henry and Ted, they are much better, but they are also very embarrassed.
Back on the 12th, Henry led his troops to the area where the mission was carried out.
But this time the mission was completely different from what Henry knew.
By the time they arrived at the target area, it was already in shambles.
The screams of the people fleeing in all directions, the "patients" attacking people everywhere and the black smoke billowing from the streets, are endless.
Henry tried to find his large army, but could not find it. He then contacted his superiors by radio, and was told that Henry's troops should carry out their original mission.
Henry had no choice but to carry out military orders.
However, because he did not understand the danger of these "patients", his troops suffered heavy casualties.
In desperation, Henry could only order the troops to withdraw from the northern city and march towards the eastern city.
However, the virus is spreading too fast, and Dongcheng District is not safe. Henry took the rest of the men to fight and retreat, saving several lone survivors along the way.
A day later, Henry and the others finally came to Dongcheng District.
By the time Henry and the others finally arrived in Dongcheng District, there were few people left. Henry and Ted, along with three of their own soldiers and a few rescued survivors, took refuge in an office building.
It's a high-rise building, and there are some zombies in the first floor. The elevator to the second floor was no longer usable, and the stairs were blocked by Henry and the others.
After settling the group, it was already dark.
Henry stumbles upon Ashley's group of four who have escaped from the restaurant.
Dorys has long since disappeared, and Morris has been bitten to death by zombies. Jimmy is also besieged by zombies, and it takes a lot of effort for Henry to save Ashley.
Ashley, who was lucky enough to survive, stood by the window, and Henry and Ted sat together.
Henry's three soldiers sat around one side, and the rest were survivors, and there were a few of them, and they gathered on the other side.
"What are we going to do now?"
Ted plucked his eyes, wiped his clothes with his clothes, and asked Henry wearily.
"I don't know, everyone's not in a good state right now. We can only rest and recuperate before we make plans. ”
Henry shook his head helplessly, looked at Ashley's back and said.
Ted couldn't think of a better way, so he had to remain silent.
As soon as he put on his glasses, the radio on his waist sounded "Boom".
Ted and Henry picked up the radio and listened, and in a moment there was a hint of joy on their faces.
