016 Internal and external difficulties
The zombie in the middle is about 25 years old, although his mouth is full of fangs, his face is blue and gray, his head is full of silver hair, and his pupils are orange, but if he looks closely, he can see a trace of clarity, and his gaze at the H base is full of hatred. His right arm was broken at the elbow, and his left hand protected a skinny middle-aged female zombie beside him. The woman's face had been bitten off a piece of flesh, her clothes were in tatters, and her mind was in tatters. Although he didn't know anything, he instinctively followed behind the young zombie.
Before the end of the world, H City was the provincial capital, with a population of about 7 million and more than 50,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the military sub-district. When the end came, at first only a small number of people were infected with the zombie virus, and the health and public security departments immediately reported the epidemic after receiving the alarm, and the local government and military quickly activated the emergency mechanism to confine the original infected primary zombies in the H Provincial People's Hospital. In order to be afraid of people's turmoil, at first it was secret, but the best doctors in the city were mobilized for centralized consultation and treatment, and three batches were recruited before and after, but I did not expect that all the doctors and nurses who had been in contact with it were infected with the virus, which caused an uproar, and panic spread like a plague. At this time, the head of state, Dai Guozheng, publicly issued a "Letter to the People of the Whole Country", informing the severe epidemic, and there is currently no medicine to treat, and the mortality rate is extremely high, calling on the people not to go out, try to stay at home and in the city where they are located, and martial law is imposed nationwide.
The whole country was shocked, and the city of H also launched martial law throughout the city. Hundreds of people are sent to the H Provincial People's Hospital every day, and a week later, the hospital's capacity is seriously exceeded. Other tertiary hospitals are also basically full of suspected virus infections. Every hospital was under tight lockdown by troops. One day, a group of zombies from the H Provincial People's Hospital broke free from the closed room and walked to the soldiers outside the hospital. The deformed and hideous appearance, the inhuman posture, the terrible virus that I didn't know where to get infected and could not be treated, instantly turned into a heavy pressure on the hearts of the soldiers who had been holding out for 60 hours a week and had not slept well. I don't know which soldier on duty finally couldn't bear the mental pressure, he was too frightened, and shot him, and the gunfire broke everyone's tense strings at once. The GIs were stimulated and shot wildly, and only after all the zombies fell to the ground did they come to their senses and found that the zombies could be killed. The zombies who were shot in the head were all dead, and their limbs were still wriggling on the ground, even if they were shot in the heart, these zombies were still crawling slowly. They immediately reported the discovery to the government and the military ministry, and soon spread the word to the nation. Before the network and power were cut off, this information saved many lives.
When more than 1,000 people die every day in the city and continue to mutate into zombies, and when the zombies passing outside the city continue to pour in, the H city government and the army face the dilemma of insufficient manpower and decide to settle inside first. On the one hand, the troops and armed police were organized to remove foreign zombies, and on the other hand, the police were organized to step up the supervision of the construction of military construction sites in the city, and at the same time, the zombies in the city were banned. Since H City is the ancient capital, the core urban area has left historical city walls. At this time, some human beings have awakened their abilities, including earth and gold, although they are only a beginner, which has already made people very excited. The government quickly issued a recruitment order, and hired the supernatural to the City Guard, giving them special staffing and various preferential treatment in life. Over the course of a month, the Adept worked with ordinary craftsmen to repair the city's broken walls and give them a variety of abilities to strengthen their strength.
As the end times became more and more severe, various materials began to be in short supply, water and electricity appliances were cut off, factories were suspended, schools were closed, merchants were closed, paper money became waste paper, and food and clothing became more and more a problem. Only the adepts in the City Guardians can still maintain a better survival treatment, and the city people who have no land and awakened abilities regard joining the City Guardians as an honor. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
After the completion of the city gate fortifications, in order to ensure the safety of the city, the local government and the army dealt with the captive zombies, because of the large number, all of them were concentrated in the city's large stadium, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people at the same time. Some of the zombies who couldn't eat fresh human flesh for a few days became frantic and began to devour their own kind, and they were all the same slow, but the powerful zombies began to differentiate, devouring more zombies of the same kind The speed and reaction were obviously faster, and they knew how to dodge. At the beginning, there were often people who secretly visited mutated relatives outside the fence at night, and some were accidentally scratched, concealed information and returned home, and as a result, the whole building was created after the mutation. Some can't bear the pain of zombie relatives, and even secretly kill humans to feed, and in the chaotic residential area, sometimes a few people go missing without anyone noticing. The problem didn't come to light until one day, when the surveillance army discovered the stump inside the stadium.
The order in the city is a bit out of control, in order to facilitate management, the H base will be urbanized into several districts, the first district is the former government dignitaries and military residential areas, the second district is the urban escort and free aliens residential areas, the third district is the living area of the rich, middle class, and skilled craftsmen without special abilities, the fourth district is the ordinary civilian area, and the fifth district is separated from the original four districts, mainly focusing on the old, weak, sick and disabled civilians.
Faced with an endless stream of zombies and dwindling combat effectiveness, the local government and military launched a zombie removal plan. At the beginning, it was more humane, only to remove the alienated zombies, for those who did not want to cooperate, the family was expelled from the city, and then there were more and more zombies, and the speed of removal could not catch up with the speed of mutation, and the policy became more and more strict. For a while, there was another riot in the city, and some relatives who were infected and unwilling to be separated just stepped forward to face the gun-wielding soldiers, but they were bitten in the neck by the zombies behind them, and both were killed. Someone ran straight out into the street, brought city guards or military personnel into their homes, and killed parents, children, and husbands and wives who had turned into zombies. Others gently kissed their loved ones who were infected with the virus, and then wiped their necks together. Some people took the opportunity to announce their personal vendettas, framed them for revenge, and said that some people who had only received minor injuries were infected with the zombie virus, and some GIs were corrupt and bribed, or in order to avoid punishment for unfavorable work, as long as they reported it, they were all shot without verification. As a result, a large number of innocent people were killed and a large number of people fled from the city. At this time, Qin Zhihan, the deputy captain of the city guard, stepped forward and explained the pros and cons to Battalion Commander Jiang and Battalion Commander Zhu, who were gradually controlling the situation. Finding that the situation was getting out of control day by day, Battalion Commander Jiang and Battalion Commander Zhu also began to rectify the chaos.
In this zombie removal program in Annei, 300,000 residents died at once, and more than 100,000 people left the core area for the outer city. There were also zombies in the troops, with more than 4,000 people killed and greatly damaged their troops. The authorities issued an order to select the outstanding talents in the city guard team into the army to replenish the source of troops, and Qin Zhihan was also among them. Slowly, the soldiers of the army gradually awakened their abilities, and the strength of the City Guards began to go hand in hand.
After the lockdown of the city, all the zombies in the city were exterminated. Some of the people from the outer city continued to move north, and some moved to the satellite towns around H City. At first, they didn't interact with each other, and later some of the Vault Dwellers also awakened, and when the H City authorities learned about it, they threw an olive branch, promising that the Strangers could return to life in the inner city of H City. The Vault Dweller base eventually rejected the offer, and the two sides agreed to be horns and help each other. Since then, it has experienced several zombie sieges, and then the Dark Sun Freezing Catastrophe, and the urban population of H City has plummeted, and so far, the population of the whole city has been less than one million.
Of these million people, the four and five districts are the most populous, and each district is divided into different grids, each of which houses three to four thousand people. The fastest mutation to be hit by acid rain this time is the old, weak, sick and disabled in the five districts. And this mutation is different from the previous ones, the combat effectiveness of the old, weak, sick and disabled zombies has increased, almost reaching the level of first-level beginner abilities, and there are many of them. These zombies scattered, causing panic in other districts.
At this time, there were nearly 10,000 zombies gathered outside the city, and the average was a first-level beginner strength. Such a powerful zombie horde is the biggest challenge that the H base will encounter after the end of the world.
There are only 3,000 soldiers in the city, most of whom are between the first and second intermediate ranks, and there are only more than 30,000 ordinary soldiers after the expansion.
The participants in the conference room all looked solemn, and everyone knew that this was a battle of life and death.
