The more predictable you are about the future, the more pessimistic you will be.

At present, the threat of ordinary zombies in the vicinity has indeed been cleared, but how big is Yandu and how big is the world, just to clear the zombies in one stadium, where is it?

Besides, what if there were evolved zombies, what if there were mutated large aggressive animals, and what if some deadly superbugs were born again?

If Jiang Mantian is not mistaken, Yandu has a zoo, and it is not far from the National University!

Everything will become an obstacle to the survival of mankind!

However, assumptions are just assumptions after all, and Jiang Mantian can't think too much, so he can only see the tricks and deal with the troubles that can be seen in front of him first.

After the zombie attack, the 6th, 8th, 14th, and 15th regiments suffered serious losses, the seventh regiment was the nurse regiment, and the independent regiment was the guard regiment, and each also had casualties. Among them, the 6th Regiment and the 14th and 15th Regiments fought directly on the front line, and except for some girls who were withdrawn in advance, they lost most of them.

Long Yuandong rearranged the team, the 14th Regiment and the 15th Regiment cancelled the number, and were included in the Sixth Regiment system, making up enough 1,000 people, and the surplus ones were merged into the Seventh Regiment and the Eighth Regiment respectively. There are a total of 13,500 people in the 1,300-man regiment, plus the headquarters and an independent regiment of more than 300 people, and the zombie war has been reduced by about 1,300 people.

Hundreds of seriously injured people who were parked in the main arena of the stadium died of blood loss, and more than 200 people remained, who were relatively lightly injured, and if they could survive the first night, they would have a good chance of getting a new life. It is worth mentioning that twelve of the seriously injured not only woke up, but also evolved their bodies, and the attributes they evolved were all in the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The 200 armed police officers led by Cheng Gongyuan temporarily accepted the unified command of the headquarters and served as the same operational unit together with the independent regiment and the headquarters. When they set off, their superiors only arranged the task of earthquake rescue, and they didn't know that there would be zombies, let alone what would happen in the future. And because of the signal problems caused by the geomagnetic flip, after they came out, there was no way to contact their superiors. Therefore, staying where he is and adapting is the only choice he can make.

Long Yuandong commanded each regiment to merge the human remains and the remains of the zombies into one place and concentrate on the fire. Although zombies are hateful, they are also transformed from people, in fact, their original incarnations are all teachers and students of the same school or residents around the school, and they have more or less intersected with the surviving personnel.

Everyone gathered around the fire, watching in amazement as the light of the fire changed from small to large, thick smoke and flames, and soon joined together, and then from large to small, slowly extinguished, leaving a pile of ashes.

At this time, everyone really felt that the world was no longer the world it used to be, and it was impossible for them to be their former selves.

Burning the corpses is an end to the old world.

Jiang Mantian saw from a distance a petite and pretty girl, kneeling beside the ashes of the burned corpse in a daze, her eyes empty. He recognized this girl as Xu Xiaoying, who scolded him for being a bastard executioner in the second line of defense in the North Hall. Her boyfriend Lu Chaochen died in the zombie group in the North Hall.

Jiang Mantian walked behind her, stood for a long time, and said softly: "I'm sorry!" Like self-blame, like muttering, and like apologizing.

"No, I don't blame you. ”

Xu Xiaoying's eyes slowly regained a little vitality and vigor, and said lightly: "Although many people died, he also died, but the fault is not you." I also thought that you had to do that. Perhaps, it's all fate. ”

"Besides, if we are alive now, how long will we live? The corners of Xu Xiaoying's mouth suddenly showed a sad smile: "It's just the difference between dying a little earlier and dying a little later." Nothing. ”

Jiang Mantian was silent. I wanted to say a few comforting words to her, but when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

"Xu Xiaoying, it turns out that you are here!" Zhang Ziwu, Lu Yan, and Caviar came to find her, afraid that she would be too sad and pulled her away.

"Professor Jiang, are you alright?" Long Yuandong approached from the side and said with concern.

"It's fine. Jiang Mantian shook his head and asked rhetorically, "How many of the twenty students of our Huayi University are left?"

Long Yuandong said gloomily: "Including me, there are fifteen left." When I fought the zombies, four died. ”

Jiang Mantian nodded slightly, and said after a long time: "Cherish it!"

What to cherish?

Do you cherish the living? or the present time?

Long Yuandong didn't know how to understand.

After tossing for a long time, everyone was already hungry, and Long Yuandong ordered to go and distribute the food and drinking water rescued before to the regiment as a unit. Odd and side-by-side foods that can be eaten directly are distributed to individuals, and food that needs to be heated or cooked is arranged by each group.

Each regiment assigned competent men to go out to find pots and pans, etc., and to make a fire for cooking. Everyone was simple because of their ugliness, building bricks into stoves, basins as pots, door frames as firewood, cups as bowls, and collapsed cement pillars as tables, making them look decent.

Long Yuandong and Jiang Mantian and others inspected the circle, and found that each group had received a lot of rice and noodles, if it was not wasted, it was estimated that it could be eaten for two or three days, and there was some meat, but it must be eaten today, and it will be bad tomorrow.

There was only a shortage of vegetables, and after the earthquake, the vegetables were crushed under the rubble and became rotten leaves, so the people who rescued the food at that time only picked a small number of intact vegetables and brought them back. Master Zhang, the old master of Xueyi canteen, took a tricycle full of vegetables with him when he fled, and this distribution was also stretched, and an average of one person could not distribute a single vegetable leaf.

The water used to cook things was tap water from the swimming pool of the Goldba Stadium, and later someone in the southwest corner of the stadium found a spring cracked by an earthquake, and the water quality was very good, so they went to use the spring water.

Jiang Mantian simply ate something, and took advantage of the gap to find Cheng Gongyuan and ask about the overall situation of the military in Yandu.

As an international mega city, Yandu has a permanent population of more than 20 million, and the armed forces will certainly not be small. The total number of regional garrisons, central garrisons, armed police forces, and public security officers is almost 400,000, and if you count the 120,000 teachers and students of the seven regular military schools in Yandu, there are 520,000 troops.

According to Cheng Gongyuan's estimates, according to the reaction speed and weaponry of the troops, the casualties after the earthquake will not exceed 30 percent, which can be seen from the troops he himself leads. His battalion originally had 290 men, but after the magearthquake and earthquake, 59 people were reduced, and more than 20 people died in the rescue mission, and in the end there were still more than 200 people left. Zombies are not a very big threat to the troops. Therefore, it can be inferred from this that there should be more than 370,000 available armed forces in Yandu.

However, there are many soldiers, and there are many places to be managed.

If the 370,000 troops are evenly scattered to Yandu, I am afraid that only a dozen or twenty troops per square kilometer can be allocated, which is obviously not enough. What's more, most of the elite forces will be left behind to ensure the safety of the central head of the organization, so if nothing else, the Yandu military will only select certain key areas for rescue, and at least two-thirds of the Yandu urban area will not be able to get help from the military, so they can only rely on self-help.

Cheng Gongyuan's unit is the Mingyang Detachment of the Yandu Armed Police Corps, which is stationed near the Oaks Forest Park, 10 kilometers away from the National University, and is specifically responsible for the public security and defense of the Mingyang District, with a total of about 1,800 people in two regiments and six battalions. In the aftermath of the earthquake, the troops quickly completed their build-up, counted their numbers, and reduced their strength by 340 men.

Three years ago, a special information channel was installed in the troops, which could not be activated in normal times, but at this time only this channel was useful. Through this passage, the detachment received an order from the headquarters to each person to carry as many individual combat weapons as possible and hurried to the designated university to carry out work.

The officers did not understand why they had to carry weapons in the aftermath of the earthquake, and there was some disagreement. Moreover, they found that, for some reason, all the personnel carriers could not be started, so that the soldiers could only go on foot to carry out the mission, and the individual weapons were too heavy, which seriously affected the speed of the rapid march.

After careful consideration, the detachment still brought weapons according to the requirements of the corps, and also appropriately brought some post-earthquake rescue tools. The troops advanced in the southwest direction, and along the way they were diverted to Agricultural University, Mining University, Earth University, Beilin, Beike, Beigang, and Huaqing University, with about 200 people in each school.

Cheng Gongyuan's second battalion was assigned the task of supporting the National Congress, but before he could go to the place, he encountered a sandstorm and could only find a place to take shelter. After the sandstorm stopped, he and his brother troops went to Huaqing University first, and encountered a large number of zombies to impact the surviving teachers and students of Huaqing University, so they did not dare to slack off, greeted the brother troops, and quickly rushed to the University to support. After investigation, it was determined that the teachers and students of the country were concentrated in the Goldba Gymnasium, so they launched a cleanup of the zombies outside the gymnasium.

From Huaqing University to NUS, it only takes one road to cross, and there is only a short distance of a few hundred meters in between, but Cheng Gongyuan and his subordinates have observed that not all dead people will become zombies, and not all zombies can move freely, and many zombies are either crushed under the rubble or locked in cars, posing no threat to humans.

The casualty rate among households, businesses, and social organizations is much higher than in military units and schools. They are either in buildings, or on roads and subways, or at home, with the tall buildings and dense population of Yandu City, whether it is a magnetic earthquake, a major earthquake, a sandstorm, or an attack by zombies, they can cause devastating casualties, because they are unavoidable, and the survival rate will not exceed one tenth.

According to this estimate, of the 20 million population of Yandu City, the surviving population is only about 2 million, and the remaining 18 million, there should be about 3 million zombies who can move freely, and the others will either become genuine corpses or immobile zombies.

Long Yuandong listened to Cheng Gongyuan's analysis, changed the topic, and asked: "It's not early now, why haven't those people from Huaqing University come here yet?"
