Chapter 221 - The Expeditionary Strike Group Arrives

Zhou Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to interrupt the middle-aged man's chatter and said, "We still have to clean up the living corpses in other buildings, you should have a radio here to communicate with each other, right?"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, every building in the community has people who stand guard and keep vigil every day, and they all have to use the radio to report the news to me regularly."

Zhou Zhiyuan said to the middle-aged man: "You give me your radio frequency, and then inform them that the military people will clean up all the living corpses in each building from now on, so that they only need to watch the entrance to the eighteenth floor, and don't worry about anything else, after we confirm that this community is all safe, you can gather everyone in a spacious place, and I will announce the military's retreat plan, understand?"

After finishing speaking, he checked the remaining ammunition, Zhou Zhiyuan and the others continued to the next building, the survivors originally wanted to help move the fitness machine at the entrance of the air bridge, but Xu Weien, a beautiful weak woman, grabbed a treadmill with one hand and threw it aside, this move shocked the survivors who wanted to be attentive and stunned, and the middle-aged man still had doubts about the origin and strength of Zhou Zhiyuan and the three of them, and this unusual strength made the leader a lot of convincing as soon as it was shown. He began to think about how he could use his influence to cooperate with the retreat of the military.

After two hours passed, Zhou Zhiyuan and his party, who had used up all the ammunition, each holding a cold weapon similar to the shape of an ancient spear in their hands, returned to the communication hall of the first building with murderous spirits, seeing that the survivors were pale and looking at him with fearful eyes, Zhou Zhiyuan quickly sorted out the weapons and put them away, rubbed his face twice, and then faced them with an expression that he thought was kind.

Zhou Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I ran out of ammunition just now, I can only use cold weapons to fight, and I can't stop killing you, it shouldn't scare you, right?" But now you can rest assured that the living bodies of every building in the entire community have been cleaned up, including the underground parking lot and vehicle entrances and exits of each building, and the atrium and garden of the community have also been safe."

The middle-aged man in the lead said a little nervously, "It's okay... Thank you for saving us all, I've called all the family representatives here, it's so small that if all the people came, there would be no place to stand."

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded and said to Zhang Hongda: "Fat Da, wait a minute, you can explain to them how to retreat from the current situation outside, and the military should be almost there after calculating the time."

Zhang Hongda replied: "There is no problem with this, do you want to call everyone else down?" I guess they're almost out of ammo now."

Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Well, let them bring the giant wolf over and bring some supplies on the trailer by the way, and when the military arrives, we will cover the retreat of these civilians to the artificial island."

Not long after the time passed, the military's radio rang in everyone's ears: "Call the wolves, the expeditionary strike group has landed on the Taiji artificial island, and the hundreds of civilian survivors on the island have been temporarily settled, and troops and supplies are currently being sent to the island."

Then Xu Changshan's funny laughter came: "Hey, hey, I'm sneaking out to play again!" You said that the shape of this artificial island is how to do it, the whole island can be made into a Tai Chi shape, the filling side is the yang side, the sea side is the yin side, this is very good."

Zhou Zhiyuan tapped the earphones and smiled: "In what name did you sneak out this time?" Didn't you say that your military is in a hurry now, why don't you stay at home and help?"

Xu Changshan said: "That's why I personally brought the troops here, the troops on the two ships are all elite veterans who went to the special zone of the outer islands with you last time, and the equipment is also the latest and best, and after all the troops, weapons, equipment, and materials are sent to the island, the entire fleet will go back empty-ship to carry a batch of important military resources to this artificial island, in fact, it has begun to be strategically transferred."

Zhou Zhiyuan asked in surprise: "Is the current situation so critical, isn't the prefecture-level city where the corpses are going to be 6 or 70 kilometers away from our Seawolf City, are they turning?"

Xu Changshan replied: "The corpses have not yet turned to our side, but we don't even know why the million army left that city, and we don't know if they will come in the direction of Seawolf City next, but the military has always been so passive to sit still, in addition to keeping an eye on the movements of the corpses around the clock, the other is to recover this large island with a natural barrier."

Zhou Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "The matter of recovering Nanhai Province will be discussed after we meet, you should have received the location of the survivors in the new city, right?" There are two places where the army needs to help respond, one is in the provincial police headquarters and the other is where I am now, there are many species of birds in the whole South China Sea Island, and the local people have advised us to retreat by land so that there will be no unwarranted casualties."

Chen Guohao suddenly interjected and said, "Major General Xu, did you bring bait shells here?" If not, it doesn't matter, I can ask the soldiers to catch the mutant animals that are being revived, and I can modify them directly, but it must be the kind that is large enough."

Xu Changshan replied curiously: "Yes, I was about to ask you what that thing does, is it used to lure living corpses?"

Chen Guohao explained: "I replaced the explosives in the warhead of the precision-guided artillery shell with the concentrated blood of mutated animals, and used the principle of the airburst bomb to diffuse the blood into the air as much as possible through the high-pressure air, and I and the experts of the scientific research center made precise calculations based on the ability of living corpses to smell blood, and with the flow of air, a 155 mm caliber decoy bomb can attract living corpses within a radius of at least 5 to 8 kilometers."

Xu Changshan said in surprise: "Oh! No wonder the people in the scientific research center said that with this decoy shell, there is no need for a helicopter to take risks, this shell is more efficient than a heavy helicopter hanging a mutant buffalo around a circle, this time I brought a whole box of decoy shells, wait for the evacuation of survivors to carry out the operation to test a shot first, I see from the map that your community and the provincial police headquarters are only a few hundred meters apart, when you have gathered all the people, I will launch one to the forest park on the outskirts of the city and then set off to meet you."

Zhou Zhiyuan said: "Okay, then wait a minute, we will first notify the survivors at the police station so that they can prepare for evacuation in advance, and the survivors here will also let them gather in the underground parking lot in the shortest possible time, once the two sides are ready, I will notify you to open the cannon, the fixed-wing reconnaissance drone in the sky and the rotary-wing drone here will observe the effect of the decoy shell, and you will set off after the shell takes effect!"
