Chapter 32, The Fall of Europa
On September 19, 2007, humanity ushered in the final judgment.
All over the world, at the same time, everywhere there was a human settlement, there were terrible cannibal zombies.
Whether it's urban or rural.
Whether it's a tall building or a basement.
Whether it's a land or a small island.
Whether it's an airplane or a nuclear submarine.
No matter how isolated the place is, zombies emerge from the crowd and pounce on those closest to them, sowing death and spreading fear.
The zombies that appeared next to the top leaders of various countries killed more than half of the people in power, and most of the world's national governments were plunged into chaos of various degrees.
As a result, most of the Zhengfu could not react to the zombies at the first time, and if they were delayed for a few hours, they would have lost the best time to isolate the zombies.
On October 1st, after 11 days of spreading, the whole of Japan fell, except for Tokyo, there were no large human settlements, and most of the five million surviving people received the guidance of "Amaterasu" and lived in the city of Tokyo, and the remaining small part was scattered all over the country, surviving for a long time.
On November 13, Britain fell, and London was easily captured by millions of zombies and dozens of apostles. About 2 million people have survived across the country, scattered throughout the country.
On November 20, India fell, with its dense population and cowardly government causing the greatest tragedy, killing 1.1 billion people and surviving few people.
On November 22, Australia fell, but because of its sparse population density, 3 million people still survived.
On December 1, the United States established the "Salvation House", relying on tanks and artillery, and established four quarantine zones in Nevada, New York, Washington, and California, keeping out endless zombies. But because military production was stalled, resistance became more and more difficult.
On December 12, ZG established the "Unknown Virus Countermeasures Committee" to organize a strong military force to establish a military blockade area along the Great Wall in the north to isolate the three eastern provinces that had all been reduced to zombies. At the same time, in the southern region, while sending troops to organize rescue, they began to build a blockade along the Yangtze River valley as a second preparation.
Among them, the developed coastal cities were controlled by the army for the first time, and the blockade line in the city was established, which solved the crisis of the fall of the whole city at the expense of a small number of people. The line from BJ to SH has become the safest area in China.
……
After this battle, ZG, which retains most of the developed regions, has become a well-deserved world hegemon.
It is a pity that in today's stormy world of human beings, the so-called hegemony is meaningless.
――
During the battle, it was discovered that the bravest warriors gradually underwent many amazing changes.
Their power became immense, their senses sharpened, and they could perceive the apostle's breath for several kilometers.
When faced with the mutated zombies and apostles, only the most powerful warriors can make a decent resistance.
They either use firearms or cold weapons, showing terrifying combat effectiveness that ordinary people can't match.
To show their awe for them, people call it.
- Hunter!
With the advent of the hunters, the structure of the army has also changed, and everything is centered on the hunters, establishing independent war groups ranging from 100 to 10,000 people, giving them full operational authority to carry out rescue, annihilation, protection and other tasks.
With the powerful combat power brought by the hunters, the arrogant hunters became more and more difficult to command, and the binding force of the Zhengfu on the war group became weaker and weaker, but with the rapid casualties of the ordinary people's army, the Zhengfu had to rely more and more on the hunter war group, forming a vicious circle.
Each major war group began to focus on the hunters, and gradually formed an independent team, while hunting the zombie apostles, there were always contradictions between the war groups, between the war groups and the main government. Because humanity is absolutely weak in this war, this contradiction has been suppressed to a lower level.
As a result, the Zhengfu will try its best to meet the requirements of the warband, and the wargroup will obediently carry out the tasks of the Zhengfu, which is still subordinate on the surface, but it is completely different.
Human beings are power-hungry. As the strongest of the human race, the hunter naturally gained superhuman rights, and those who were both powerful and intelligent quickly gained the upper position and gradually controlled the power centers of the countries.
On the other hand, a small number of hunters are unwilling to abide by the rules of the Zhengfu and roam the dark land as a lone ranger.
In order to take advantage of the combat effectiveness of this part of the hunters, the Zhengfu specially created the "free mercenary" system, with a lot of money and materials as a reward, to drive these hunters to carry out the task, because the Zhengfu is indeed very generous, so many hunters who advocate freedom began to perform mercenary tasks for a living.
When the United States pioneered this approach, countries around the world followed suit.
And for the convenience of the task, many free hunters began to form their own mercenary groups, the number of which is generally about ten people, although the number is small, but they are often elites, and there are not a few mercenary groups that awaken the second and third hunters in the fierce mission.
As a result, all countries in the world have entered the era of "war groups" and "mercenary groups", with hunters as the backbone, struggling to resist the attacks of monsters, all tactics are formulated by the "war group federation", and the main government is more like a logistics support department, mediating between war groups, ensuring the lives of civilians, and doing everything possible to carry out military production.
At this time, the global population has plummeted to less than 200 million.
――
On October 4, 2008, after the arduous "One Year War", Paris, France fell under the siege of nearly 100 apostles, and the ten major war groups, more than 100,000 people, and 200 hunters were all killed.
At the last moment, nearly 10,000 soldiers raised their guns and killed themselves, raging in anger, and resolutely smashed their own heads to avoid becoming zombies.
The blood flowed into the sea, the demons cried and wept, and the scene was so tragic that there was no second in human history.
At this point, the entire European front collapsed, and only a small resistance force and a small number of hunters fought in it.
On the afternoon of the 4th, a plane took off from the Paris airport, carrying Europa's last hope.
――
Now, there are only three centers in the whole world.
Guarded by 78 warbands and 2,046 hunters, the ZG coastal urban agglomeration has a population of 100 million.
Guarded by 43 warbands and 1,109 hunters, the four major quarantine areas in the United States have a population of 20 million.
Tokyo, Japan, which is guarded by Amaterasu, has a population of 5 million.
Humanity exists for a moment.
