[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]
“How much longer until the horde reaches us?” Yue Zhong asked the recon soldier in front of him in a heavy tone.
The recon soldier immediately replied: “Based on their current speed, it would take them roughly 12 hours to reach our first line of defence!”
Yue Zhong looked at the bloodshot eyes of the soldier and said: “Go have a good rest!!”
“Yes Commander!” The soldier saluted and withdrew quickly.
“Just 12 hours? It’s really too rushed!!” Yue Zhong frowned, his heart filled with anxiety.
The horde that was coming closer to SY numbered in the 800,000s. Based on the current fighting strength of SY County, they would not be able to withstand the assault of that number. Although Yue Zhong absorbed the remaining military unit and police unit, the total number of fighters reaching 1,300, they could not be deployed straightaway. The 4 battalions of Yue Zhong had engaged the zombies previously, and had to escape with their lives, followed by the internal conflicts, they were extremely tired as well. Furthermore, the heavy weapons belonging to the military had been left behind during the battle against the zombies, without heavy weaponry or fortification, trying to defend against the sea of zombies was simply impossible.
It was a situation where he had to give up SY County. However, the current 140,000 survivors inside, having to transfer them was also a huge issue.
Firstly, to gather all 140,000 was a problem in itself. As Yue Zhong had just disposed of the governing head Peng Mingde, the entire government had become paralyzed. Many officials had fled their posts, those who stayed behind were wary and unsure of their future. Since the government was ineffective now, trying to mobilize all 140,000 survivors would definitely require more time.
Yue Zhong told a signal officer to convey his orders: “Go get Tai Yiyan, Cheng Peipei, Lu Chenguang, Liu Yujiao, Yun Qiang, Shen Hongyang and bring them here. I want to see them here within 20 minutes. Tell them, if they aren’t here after 20 minutes, they can forget about finding me in the future.”
The signal officer nodded and immediately left to carry out his duty.
Yue Zhong then pulled Chen Shitou over and questioned him: “Chen Shitou! Go get the 8th Battalion and gather the survivors. Take those from Xinyang Street, Zhongshan Street, Yanjing Street and Xijian Street, and gather them up. After thats done, transfer them according to order over the riverbank bridge and get them to Ning Guang County. How much time do you need?”
Chen Shitou thought for awhile, before looking at Yue Zhong resolutely and replied: “6 hours!! Please give me 6 hours! I promise to carry it out properly!”
Yue Zhong was a little short-tempered and he shouted out: “4 hours! I will only give you 4 hours!! After those 4 hours, you better be taking those people across the bridge!! After they cross the bridge, give every single one of them a can of Type 2 Meat. Eat as they move! If you can’t complete this, you can forget about being a battalion commander anymore!!”
Yue Zhong only had 12 hours to work with, and he had to gather all 140,000 survivors within 12 hours, it was extremely difficult. What’s more, he had to get them across the riverbank bridge that was not exactly wide.
Other than those 140,000, there were the few 100,000 tonnes of rations, various other foods, precious machinery, other kinds of production materials that required transportation as well. These were all important items to be sent out of SY County.
Every minute every second counted, and time was extremely precious. If there wasn’t enough time to transport all 140,000 people over the bridge, Yue Zhong had to get his precious soldiers to fight and buy precious time for the transportation to be carried out. That kind of price where he had to put his life and his soldiers’ lives on the line, was something he was not willing to pay so easily. The immense pressure was weighing down on Yue Zhong, and it caused him to be frustrated, and his temper was shorter.
After all, Yue Zhong was only human. Even though he had gained a lot of enhancements through his own efforts, these 2 days he had been fighting on the frontline as much as he could, and his rest time was extremely short. Under that huge pressure, he was naturally less amiable.
Chen Shitou frowned, and he asked directly: “What do I do if those survivors don’t want to co-operate?”
In this world, there are many types of people, some who liked to wreak havoc under the pressure of imminent danger, and there would definitely be accidents.
Yue Zhong replied with an icy voice: “I’ll permit you to use any means to complete this mission. I only want results, I don’t care about the process!”
