Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Urban Combat (4)

As the building stopped moving, Li Miao moved up a little to check if his plan worked.

"Holy shit... There's no way two grenades did this..."

The entire stairway was on the first floor, laid down sideways as the connection at the top was completely blown off.

He could even see cracks near where the stairway used to connect to the second floor, almost as if it was already about to break from the amount of shaking earlier from Zhen Ren's usage of explosives inside the building.

As Li Miao made eye contact with the mutants, he could see the tank mutants were enraged to the fullest as they started pounding their chest in anger.

But fortunately, there was no way for the mutants to get up at all.

However, the zombies started stacking on top of each other as if they were trying to build a ladder up, just like what happened a few minutes ago in the 2nd-floor window before they all went inside the 1st-floor building.

"Shit, everyone keeps going up!" Li Miao ran back to the soldiers as they were already on the third floor.

"Major, this building only has three floors." Li Miao's captains revealed the bad news.

"Fuck, we better hope the mutant weighs too much for that stupid ladder..." Li Miao mummer before turning to face all the soldiers.

"Everyone, conserve your ammo! And for the 4th regiments who have no ammo, get ready to use your shovels!"

Li Miao readied his pistols as zombies began flooding up the second floor and started running up the stairway to the third floor.

As the soldiers began opening fire at the zombies, Li Miao decided to ask something.

"Is there really no other exit in this building? Where the hell is the fire exit?"

"There is one, but it's completely blocked off from the inside for some reason. We tried everything we could to try to break it, but it just wouldn't open." A captain replied as he pointed at the fire exit a few steps away.

"Fuck! Who the hell blocked that shit off?"

As Li Miao lashed out in anger, the entire building started shaking again. This time, it was so severe that they could see the cracks in the pillars and the walls.

"What the fuck are those mutants doing? Are they trying to take the entire building down with them?"

As fewer and fewer soldiers were shooting their guns and switching to the tactical shovel, Li Miao knew the end was near.

"Commander Xiaoyun, how long do we still have to hold for?" Li Miao asked through the walkie-talkie.

"One more minute. They are almost there. They are spearheading a pathway right now." Xiaoyun replied.

"Sorry, commander... I don't think we can hold on for another minute."

Li Miao turned off the transmission as all the soldiers switched to their shovels.

"Everyone in formation!"

As the zombies get within ten steps of the soldiers, suddenly, the roof in front of the soldiers collapses, crushing everything right below it.

"Everyone to the wall!"

Before Li Miao finished talking, both regiments moved to their back against the wall as the building in front of them began falling.

As the building continues collapsing, more and more zombies are crushed by the fallen building to the point that they can see the outside building clearly.

"Take cover!" Li Miao yelled out as the soldiers and the tank mutant could finally see each other.

Before the soldiers could react, the mutants began hurling the fallen pieces of the building towards the soldiers.

Li Miao could only watch as the rocks completely crushed several soldiers, with their eyes still in shock as if they couldn't process what had happened.

The soldiers immediately started taking cover behind the office tables after seeing their comrades die from it.

As the mutants throw more rocks at the soldiers's hiding spot, several of the floors where the soldiers are standing begin to show cracks.

"Where the hell is Lingang!" Li Miao yelled out in his head as he could do nothing besides watch his fellow soldiers fall one by one.

---

"Holy shit, why are there so many zombies here?" Lingang murmured as all three of the IFVs in front of him were driving at full speed, but the zombies were making it fall at a snail's pace.

As the zombies turned their attention towards the newcomer trying to break inside, they began banging all of their vehicles nonstop.

Fortunately, the armor was thick enough to endure the amount of beating, but for the makeshift modified cars, they faced a much harder time.

Still, the IFVs were steamrolling over the zombies, like a grasscutter effortlessly mowing down tall grass.

Just as they were about to approach the office building, half of it suddenly collapsed.

Luckily, it only blocked their pathway and didn't hit any of the IFVs in the front.

"Everyone reverse! We're entering it through the right side!" Lingang ordered as he spoke in the walkie-talkie

As all the vehicles reversed in unison and turned right, the loud noises attracted even more zombies as several zombies started banging from the roof of his type 05.

"Everyone full speed ahead. Protect the bus in the center!"

As they moved closer and closer to the other side of the building, they could finally see the soldiers still standing at the edge of the 3rd-floor building, with several soldiers falling to the 2nd floor.

But more importantly, they could finally see the mutants wide and clear near the rubbles.

The type 05 immediately turned its turret and aimed at the mutant.

"We take care of the left one. You take care of the right." The radio spoke through the walkie-talkie to the other type 05.

"Affirmative."

As the crew inside the tank loaded the shell in, they slammed the fire chamber shut.

With a loud sound and the entire tank shaking a little, the shell was fired.

Both mutants instantly fell to the ground as their entire upper body disappeared.

However, the issue of the zombies remained as they surrounded all of the tanks and buses, forcing Lingang's troops to stay inside their vehicles.

Suddenly, bullets started flying in their direction, and loud car horns could be heard on the other side.

"Finally, the other regiments are here." Lingang sighed in relief as the banging finally stopped.

After checking the periscope and seeing most of the zombies had either left or idle, Lingang finally ordered the soldiers to get out.

"Everyone clear the area and rescue any survivors, and help those people get down."

As the soldiers began to split the job among themselves, Lingang walked up near where the rubble was located and looked up at the soldiers who were stuck on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

"Um, do you guys want to jump this or what?" Lingang asked, as he had no other tools to get them down.

"That's fucking suicide!" Li Miao yelled back.

"Shit... you two, try to drive the bus here."

As Lingang directed the two soldiers, Li Miao was thinking of something.

"How the hell are we going to get all the way down there?" Li Miao murmured as all the soldiers that were still alive were finally looking much more hopeful.

"Major Li Miao, why don't we make a rope with our shirts?" One of the captains suggested as everyone was beginning to realize they had no way down.

"That's genius. Everyone, take off your shirt and make a rope!"

All the remaining soldiers took off their shirts, and some even took off their pants to make the rope extra thick.

"Now, where do we tie this?"

Li Miao looked around the building and noticed one of the supporting pillars that had been supporting their side of the building the whole time.

He rushed towards the pillar and began wrapping it around, then tied the strongest knot he knew of.

Other soldiers copied the same idea and tied their rope to the nearest support pillar.

"Two at a time! Single file line!" Li Miao immediately began having the soldiers go down with the rope.

As more and more soldiers got down to the first floor with the ropes, Lingang directed them to the bus.

"Get in fast! We don't have much time before zombies start wandering back here." Lingang hurried.

After most of the soldiers had gotten out of the building, there were still around fifty people remaining, as they were too injured to go down.

"Li Miao! What's wrong?" Lingang asked out loud as he noticed Li Miao was still up there.

"There are still people here, but they are too injured to get down!" Li Miao yelled back.

"Fuck it, just throw them down here. Better injured than stuck up there!"

Lingang yelled back as he had just received a transmission from Xiaoyun, warning him there was another wave of mutants incoming.

With no other options, Li Miao and a few of the soldiers who still could move began throwing the injured down all the way to the 1st floor.

After all the injured had been caught by the soldiers below, Li Miao and the other soldiers began taking the rope down.

After getting all the way down, Li Miao suddenly remembered he had forgotten somebody.

"Shit, where's Zhen Ren?" Li Miao panicked as he began looking around.

"I'm here." Zhen Ren raised his hand behind him.

"How did you get down here?" Li Miao looked in shock as he remembered Zhen Ren was still unconscious when the mutant began throwing rocks.

"Using the rope. How else do you think——"

"We can talk later. Let's get the hell out of dodge first."

Lingang interrupted the two from talking as even he could see the zombies coming in the distance.

After both regiments filled up the empty buses that Lingang brought, he quickly directed them to all the other vehicles inside.

Still, there were around half a hundred people with no vehicle to go to.

"Fuck it. Everyone, get on top of the vehicle and just sit still. We are leaving now!"

All of the remaining soldiers rushed to the nearest possible vehicle and jumped on top of it before it started driving.
