Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chapter 451: Crisis in Shenzhen

As Xiaoyun enjoyed himself in the bedroom, Dongguan was in a complete situation.

"Commander! Millions of zombies are coming from Shenzhen!"

Yiming immediately woke up from his bed as a soldier with aviation goggles on his forehead barged into his tent.

"What! Can you say that again?"

Yiming's loud voice made the soldier jump for a second, but he eventually spoke up again.

"At least a million zombies are heading up north from Shenzhen... At least that's what I saw when I went on my scouting."

"Shit! Call the other Colonels. I want to see them in the HQ tent within five minutes."

"Yes, sir!"

As the soldier ran out of the tent, Yiming went over to his backpack to get his water canteen.

With a refreshing sip of water, he headed out of his tent as the cold air made him even more awake.

Heading to the HQ tent, he saw that most of the soldiers were still peacefully sleeping in his tent.

"Commander Yiming, what do we do?"

An officer of the Colonel rank was already standing inside the HQ tent, asking him the question as he entered inside.

"Don't panic, Fei Gan. Shenzhen is still about an hour's drive from here. Not to mention, the roads are all completely blocked."

Yiming's calm answer calmed the Colonel, who realized he was way too worried for no reason.

"You can go to sleep if you want. You had been up for Night duty too much."

Despite Yiming's offer, Fei Gan quickly shook his head in rejection.

"I can stay awake. I'm not sleepy yet."

Yiming didn't pressure him any further as the two waited in silence for the other Colonels to show up.

After three minutes, they finally started showing up as they entered the tent one by one.

With the last officer arriving in the tent, Yiming signaled the soldier, who reported to come inside as well.

"Commander, what's the issue?"

A middle-aged Colonel asked, his face looking a little grumpy as if he was unhappy to wake up so early.

It was no one other than Zhen Ren, who had been a little grumpy ever since being sent to Dongguan.

"There's a massive zombie horde coming from Shenzhen... At least in the millions."

As soon as Yiming said it out loud, all of the officers were shocked, except for Fei Gan.

"How far away are they?" One of the Colonel with a square face urgently asked.

Yiming didn't say anything, but he looked over to the soldier who brought him the news.

"I would say at least 70 kilometers away——"

"That's so close." Another Colonel immediately said out loud, interrupting the soldier.

"Shush Li Qing... Pilot, can you tell us from the beginning to the end?" Yiming asked.

"Um... I was just doing my daily scouting mission on the scouting planes around Dongguan.

But then I noticed several cars driving on the highway, all of them being chased by pretty sizeable zombies behind them.

So, I got a little curious and began flying down the highway... That's when I realized there were a ton of zombies wandering around there."

The pilot quickly began pointing the path he had taken on the map, which was right down the center.

"They probably got lost trying to chase after those cars." The third Colonel pointed out.

"You're probably right, Li Miao... But we can't confirm that. You can continue."

As Yiming finished talking, the soldier cleared his throat before resuming the story.

"I continued flying down the highway until it led me to a city with zombies gathering near the highway's entrance.

And I'm 90% sure it was almost a million... At least compared to the one that attacked Shaoguan."

Yiming nodded. He had seen what a million zombies looked like himself in the past when the Shaoguan evacuation happened.

"All of them were like... Pushing the roadblocks and abandoned cars aside and walking down the highway.

I had never seen them do that before. It's like someone those zombies grew a brain or something.

It just doesn't make sense... It's like——"

"Some is leading them, right?" The fourth Colonel, who was much skinnier than the other four, interrupted.

"Yeah, exactly that, Colonel Li Qing. They were almost working together in an attempt to head up north toward us.

At least, that's what it felt like when I began to fly back... Oh, I almost forgot, um..."

Seeing the pilot hesitate a little, looking down as if he were in trouble, Yiming patted him on the back.

"Just say what you have in mind. Your info had been extremely valuable."

After a short silence, the pilot finally spoke up.

"I ran out of flue while I was flying back, so I had to abandon my plane and parachute early."

"That's fine. Making it back safely is all that matters... I'll report this credit to the Logistic office."

"Thank you, commander!"

As the pilot left after Yiming waved his hand, all of the Colonels looked extremely concerned.

Especially three of his colonels, who had been with him the longest and had experienced the disaster in Shaoguan.

"Should we start preparing for it?" Colonel Zhen Ren asked.

"Obviously, we have to prepare for it... But how should we prepare for it, commander?"

Colonel Fei Gan asked as they all waited for Yiming's answer. However, he remained silent as he looked towards the map on the table.

Six highways connected Shenzhen and Dongguan, with the main one right in the center, where the pilot pointed earlier.

Although most of the branches led them toward Dongguan, three split ends could lead them to completely different cities.

"S6 is already collapsed, so that's safe. They could go through G9411 to Guangzhou near Longxue island, but they would be instantly spotted.

The units there would instantly blow the bridge off, leaving us with one last risk."

As Yiming pointed at the farthest road on the map from Shenzhen, all of the Colonels were thinking of something.

"This possibility of the zombies going through the G2518 bridge to Zhongshan... Is that bridge still intact?"

All five of the Colonel shrug their arm, causing Yiming to look a little concerned.

"That direction shouldn't matter, would it? Yezi would see them first, and then artillery could strike the bridge."

The last Colonel, who had been silently listening in the whole time, finally spoke up.

"True..."

Yiming murmured as he calculated the distance between Yezi's army and the bridge.

"Wait, I'm pretty sure this isn't a bridge. It's an underwater tunnel if I remember correctly."

Li Miao interrupted as he could remember driving through it before the outbreak for his job.

"That complicates things a little. But that's Yezi's problem to deal with if that happens.

We'll just send a message to him warning him about it... Then we just have to prepare for this front."

As Yiming recalculated the scenario inside his head, it was practically a 98% chance of the zombie heading up to Dongguan.

Meanwhile, only 2% exist for them to go on the two branches that led them to Zhongshan or Guangzhou.

"You all can continue clearing Dongguan... We'll fight those zombies in the city and prevent them from going any further."

"Yes, sir!"

None of the Colonels questioned his decision, as fighting in the city was much better than fighting in the plains.

From booby traps to layered defense to even blowing up the skyscraper to block them off completely.

There were simply endless ways to stall a zombie horde in the city.

But this all rested on them gaining control of Dongguan, or at least the northern entrance to Dongguan.

"I want to see Dongguan's entrance fully cleared by the end of this month," Yiming added another order.

"Yes, sir!"

When Xiaoyun and all of his wives finally woke up from the bed, it was because the baby was crying in the other room.

All of them immediately headed to the other room to check, leaving Tianci, Kate, and Anna sitting on the bed with Xiaoyun.

"Do you need us to help you?" Anna shyly asked as Xiaoyun's morning wood was fully visible.

"No need. It goes away on its own... I'm going to go take a shower first."

As Xiaoyun headed toward the bathroom, the three of them looked at each other before following him.

"Are you guys taking a shower, too?" Xiaoyun asked as he turned on one of the showerheads.

"What do you think?" Kate rolled her eyes as she turned on her showerhead.

Meanwhile, Anna and Tianci both silently turned on their showerheads, their faces blushing red as she began washing their bodies.

"Geez, so aggressive early in the morning. What did I do to make you so mad like this?"

"Nothing."

Experience more on mvl

Kate's answer only made Xiaoyun more confused, causing him to turn his attention back to the shower.

"Xiaoyun, are you sure you don't need us to relieve you?" Tianci asked this time, noticing his morning wood still up.

"I'm really fine. I'm already satisfied with last night. I need a break for myself."
