[Book 2: The Sea of Zombies]
Yue Zhong asked somewhat curiously, “What are the military’s plans?”
A horde of over a million zombies, this was on a different scale compared to 100,000. The sheer number made Yue Zhong’s scalp go numb.
The zombies had an advantage over Mutant Beasts, and that was that they did not know death. Add in the disease and infection they carried with them, this could cause resisting humans to feel desolate.
Many of the survivors dared to take up arms against the Mutant Crabs and Mutant Crayfishes, yet they would not have the same courage to face the zombies.
Shen Xue spoke with extreme confidence: “We will initiate a frontal assault, annihilating them completely.”
At the initial phase of the onset of the apocalypse, the army had defeated the 700,000 zombies in SY County easily. To them, the million-zombie horde was just an issue that required a matter of time.
Offence was the best defence, and since the army had a huge amount of modern weaponry. These included the Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Assault Helicopters and even tanks. They naturally would not fear the million-strong horde.
Yue Zhong pondered awhile, before asking the crucial question: “Do you have enough ammunition?”
A modern army that was adequately equipped with logistics and supply would naturally not be afraid of a million-strong horde. However, the logistics issue was currently pressing on SY County. After the SY army had regained control over SY County, and killed off the 700,000 strong horde, its ammunition usage was pretty high.
Normally speaking, for an expert like Yue Zhong, it would take a bullet to kill a zombie. However, not everyone were sharpshooters like him.
For the inexperienced soldiers, even a few rounds might not be enough to kill a zombie. As for the veterans, they would require a few shots to take out zombies at a distance as well.
After wiping out the zombies in SY County, Yue Zhong estimated that the ammunition left should number around 2 million rounds.
In fact, when the SY Military were clearing SY County, they had expended over 2 million rounds, at the same time, they even used heavy rounds on the horde then, which allowed them to regain control over SY County.
However, this led to the huge expenditure of ammunition, and was precisely the reason why Shen Hongyang and the other military heads were not in favour of fighting against Yue Zhong.
If the 2 sides really fought it out, the ammunition would really be depleted quickly. Without ammunition, in a world where danger was everywhere, they would lose their stronghold.
Shen Xue gazed at Yue Zhong icily: “Our ammunition is sufficient, there’s no need for your concern.”
“That’s good to hear then!” Yue Zhong smiled lightly, and did not press further.
After a few minutes of silence, Shen Xue stared at Yue Zhong and said, “Yue Zhong, this battle is extremely important to us. My father Shen Hongyang hopes that you can lead your troops and join us in battle, killing the horde as they come.”
Yue Zhong coldly asked: “If I provide reinforcement, what good is in it for me?”
Bringing his own troops to assist SY County in facing the zombies? Not only will it consume a huge amount of ammunition, there would be casualties on Yue Zhong’s side. If there were no benefits, he would definitely not lend a hand.
Yue Zhong’s aim was the huge military plants in Long Hai County. Even if he brought people to wipe out the horde of million zombies, he wouldn’t gain any territory, it would just be a waste of his military strength.
Shen Xue frowned, and coldly lectured: “Yue Zhong, how can you always only think about your self-interest? Can’t you just see the bigger picture? This is an issue concerning the lives and deaths of over a few hundred thousand people here in SY County, you should forsake any personal interest, and send your troops as reinforcement, only then can you be considered a hero. If you are willing to send people to help save the county, over a few hundred thousand people would be thankful.”
Yue Zhong eyed the slightly agitated Shen Xue and icily replied: “I’m sorry! I’m not some hero, nor am I looking to become one that your county is looking for. I am just a normal commander. I need to think for my people and subordinates. Without enough benefits, I would definitely not send my troops to their certain death.”
Yue Zhong continued on with a hint of contempt towards Shen Xue: “Furthermore! Miss Shen Xue, if your father was such a big hero, why isn’t he doing anything about Su Tianyang or Peng Ji those criminals of SY County?”
Su Tianyang and Peng Ji were not good things. However, due to the fact they had powerful fathers, even after all the mistakes and catastrophe
