Chapter 239: Iron Blood

On the highway, forty kilometers from Yangshan Town, a large convoy stopped on the highway.

Covered with camouflage cloth, it turned out to be a main battle tank, ZTZ-99 main battle tank (referred to as Type 99 main battle tank), which is the main battle tank of Huaguo, until now in 2022, although there are many rising stars, it has never shaken the status of Type 99 main battle tank in the army.

In addition to a few main battle tanks, there are only two armored vehicles in Yangshan Prison, and there are more than a dozen armored vehicles here, neatly placed on both sides of the road.

The entire highway is now being transformed into a safe haven, relying on these "iron walls", like evolutionary zombies like giant zombies, there is no chance to get close.

The people who go back and forth between are undoubtedly the people of the army, otherwise no force has such ability and such a big hand.

At this moment, the Yangshan Prison Radio Station broadcast the message of the safety of Yangshan Prison.

"Where is Yangshan Prison? The civil forces actually have such a ability, relying on prisons to build shelters. ”

A middle-aged man, exuding an astonishing momentum, with the rank of colonel, is a regimental position.

"Commander, this Yangshan Prison is on Yangshan Mountain, which is nearly forty kilometers away from us." A staff officer hurriedly pulled over the map and followed their highway all the way to the place of Yangshan.

"Oh? It's not too far, and at our current pace, how long will it take to get there. The middle-aged man thought for a moment and asked.

"Report, because we still have nearly 10,000 survivors escorted, with these survivors dragging, with our current speed of progress, it is late today, it is impossible to continue to advance, starting tomorrow morning, it is estimated that it will take tomorrow afternoon to complete the more than 40 kilometers."

"The zombies behind us, are the people from the Scout Company back?"

The middle-aged soldier seemed to remember something and continued to ask.

"Report, the people from the reconnaissance company have returned, the group of zombies in Tuxi City, under the command of the target corpse king, has poured into Shashi, Shashi doesn't know that there are no zombies like the corpse king, but this group of zombies will definitely continue to expand in scale, but at present, this group of zombies has not left Shashi City, and has the intention of chasing us." The young staff officer hurriedly summarized the information fed back by his subordinates and made a report.

"Then there will be no worries for the time being."

The middle-aged soldier, hearing the news, also breathed a sigh of relief, this group of zombies has been chasing them since Tuxi City, after all, with so many survivors, they have been unable to keep up with the speed of the march, in order to delay time, he had to send an army to stop this large group of zombies.

Even if they rely on the powerful firepower of armored vehicles, there is no way to stop this group of zombies for too long, the scale of this group of zombies is too large, far beyond the 100,000 mark, after their preliminary estimates, the scale of nearly 500,000, you must know that although Tuxi City is not even a third-tier city, but the population is millions of people, millions of zombies can be guaranteed.

And the corpse king mentioned by the army can control 500,000 zombies, "leave their hometowns" and leave Tuxi City, chase these people from the army, and run to Shashi, which is enough to reflect the horror of this corpse king.

"Then, regimental commander, why should we take a detour to Yangshan Prison, the higher authorities ordered us to go to Nanyang City to gather, there is no need for us to waste time there." The staff officer whispered beside the middle-aged soldier.

"Is there an order from above that we must rush to Nanyang City within the specified time?" The middle-aged soldier turned his head to look at the young staff officer and questioned.

"That's not true, but, regiment commander, we really don't need to waste time there, the chasing soldiers behind finally stopped in Shashi, we can take advantage of this gap to speed up our pace and go to Nanyang City to join the big army."

"Then let me ask you, we escaped from Tuxi City, this group of zombies can leave Tuxi City, run to Shashi, and even threaten this Yangshan Prison, are we not responsible? At the end of the day, we also have a big share of the responsibility. ”

"In this case, we should go to Yangshan Prison and take them away together, we can't let them suffer here, once this group of zombies comes out of Shashi, it will inevitably threaten this Yangshan Prison."

The middle-aged soldier glared at the young staff officer and said categorically: "So, don't mention this matter again, this is an order." ”

"Yes!"

It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and now that the order of a middle-aged soldier has been issued, the young staff officer has no choice but to keep quiet.

"Xiao Wu, I know what you're thinking, it's because I'm afraid that we will accept this group of survivors from Yangshan Prison and slow down our marching speed even more, so that our soldiers will be like they did before to stop zombies, resulting in heavy losses."

"Captain..."

The young staff officer who was called Xiao Wu by the middle-aged soldier, was said by the middle-aged soldier, as if the conspiracy had been exposed, and he didn't dare to look directly at the middle-aged soldier anymore, so he could only bow his head and mutter.

"Xiao Wu, you have to know how wrong your thinking is, we are soldiers, we are the guardians of the country, and the guardians of the people, now that the people need us, how can we ignore it in order to protect our own lives and know that the people are in danger."

"What about your oath before enlistment?"

The middle-aged soldier pretended to be angry and asked.

"Loyal to the motherland and loyal to the people!"

The young staff officer hurriedly straightened his chest, raised his head, and tucked his abdomen, and shouted loudly, not caring at all that the voice was too loud, attracting the attention of the other soldiers around him, as if he was doing something very proud.

"Since you remember, did you do something wrong in this matter?" The middle-aged soldier smiled with satisfaction, and then after a moment, he returned to his previous serious expression.

"Yes, regimental commander, I review my mistake this time, but I am also thinking about the future of our regiment, two thousand people, when we came out, it was two thousand, although some of them are temporarily conscripted armed police brothers, but what about us now? It's only a little over a thousand left, and half of it has been lost! ”

"When I think about the smiles of Staff Officer Wang, Battalion Commander Li, and Platoon Commander Zhang, I feel sad, and these survivors still question us every day, saying that they, the taxpayers, have paid so many taxes and actually raised us thugs."

"For the sake of these survivors, we lost half of our brothers, but in exchange, these survivors don't understand, what kind of sin have we created?"

"Because we're soldiers!"

The middle-aged soldier's face also showed a sad look with the words of the young staff officer, but he soon covered up the past and shouted firmly.

For a while, the surrounding soldiers also looked in this direction, their tired faces, but their eyes flashed with light, and then their tired faces changed to unwavering expressions.
