#91 - Chapter 91: Zombies understand military tactics?

The soldier on duty at the entrance took the documents and carefully checked them.

"Please wait a moment." The soldier returned the documents and walked into the guardhouse, dialing an internal line.

The military had electricity. External calls were definitely impossible due to base station and civilian satellite failures, but internal calls could be made.

Before long, the soldier came out again.

"Please wait a moment, someone will come to receive you soon."

"Okay, thank you!" Shen Wengang said.

"Aren't you from the Southeast Military Region?" Zuo Wenshan asked.

"Yes." Shen Wengang didn't explain further.

Zuo Wenshan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, they brought him here, and it didn't matter to him where they were from.

Soon, the group entered the military region headquarters led by a military officer.

At this time, Zong Zhengyue had just returned with 200 sets of combat suits and was a little puzzled to hear that someone from the Central Military Region wanted to see him.

Soon, Shen Wengang led Zuo Wenshan into Zong Zhengyue's office, while the others waited in the nearby conference room.

"Report, Commander, I am Tiangang from the Central Military Region, this is my identification." Shen Wengang handed over his documents.

Zong Zhengyue took the documents and looked at them, raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Dark Night?"

He knew about Dark Night, a special operations group newly formed by the Military and Political Director under the order of the Speaker, and its members were all mutants conscripted from across the country.

He had overheard the Speaker discussing this matter privately in Kyoto some time ago. However, he didn't take it too seriously at the time. After all, people immune to the virus were extremely rare, so rare that describing them as "phoenix feathers and unicorn horns" wouldn't be an exaggeration. Relying on so few people to fight zombies was unrealistic, so he wasn't very interested.

But now he had discovered combat suits, which meant that the number of people who could resist the virus could be continuously increased. Wasn't this more cost-effective than painstakingly searching for mutants across the country?

"Do you have any mission here in the Southeast Military Region?" Zong Zhengyue asked, returning the documents.

"Report, Commander, we are out here for training. Yesterday, we encountered this comrade at the junction of Yusu Province and Hushan Province. He said he had important information to report to you, so we escorted him here." Shen Wengang explained.

"Oh! May I ask who you are?" Zong Zhengyue looked at Zuo Wenshan, who was covered in dust.

"Commander Zong, I am Zuo Wenshan from the Matang Settlement." Zuo Wenshan quickly introduced himself.

"Matang Settlement?" Zong Zhengyue jumped up as soon as he heard "Matang Settlement," completely ignoring who he was.

Zuo Wenshan was stunned.

"You said you're from the Matang Settlement? Tell me quickly, what happened?" Zong Zhengyue asked anxiously.

"Commander Zong! It was terrible, so terrible! More than 300,000 people are all dead!" Zuo Wenshan's emotions also rose.

"How did they die?" Zong Zhengyue asked urgently.

"That day, around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, not long after sunset, the patrols discovered zombies constantly gathering on the opposite bank of the river, gathering more and more, estimated to be several hundred thousand. We were a little scared, worried that the zombies would attack the settlement, so we called you for help. Around nine o'clock, they began to walk across the bridge. They moved very slowly, taking more than an hour to cross the 2-kilometer Ma'an Bridge. The zombies in front stood there after crossing the bridge, neither attacking nor rampaging. Before long, we heard gunfire coming from the opposite bank of the river, guessing that your troops had arrived to rescue us. At this time, the zombies on the bridge suddenly went berserk, frantically rushing towards the opposite bank of the river. In just over ten minutes, the gunfire stopped. We didn't dare to go over to see, but we guessed that the soldiers who went to rescue us were probably doomed. Before long, these zombies frantically rushed back. The settlement didn't even have decent weapons, and it was quickly breached by the zombies. The security team, hundreds of people, formed a human wall, blocking the north gate, to escort me and the secretary out. We had no means of transportation and walked on the road for two days and two nights. If we hadn't met these comrades, we would have died on the road."

Zuo Wenshan recounted what happened at that time with tears in his eyes and snot running down his face.

"Hundreds of thousands of zombies? Ambush reinforcements?" Zong Zhengyue heard the key points.

"How can this be so unreal?"

"Have the zombies become spirits?"

"They're even using military tactics?"

Zong Zhengyue fell into deep thought for a moment.

"How does it sound like the zombies were waiting for reinforcements?" Zong Zhengyue said.

"That's right, we had that feeling at the time. Although we were unwilling to believe it, it looked like that was the case." Zuo Wenshan confirmed.

"In this case, this zombie siege incident was an organized and premeditated attack." Zong Zhengyue said thoughtfully.

"Commander Zong, isn't this a bit too mysterious? I haven't heard of zombies launching a premeditated attack." Shen Wengang, who was standing beside him, said.

"This situation is very important, I will report it to the council, thank you for bringing back such important information. You can rest in the military region during this time." Zong Zhengyue said to Zuo Wenshan.

"Thank you! Then I'll trouble Commander Zong." Zuo Wenshan thanked him.

"Commander, now that the person has been delivered, we won't stay any longer." Shen Wengang was also preparing to leave.

"Tiangang, how about this? Since you're already here, don't rush to leave, stay in the Southeast Military Region for a couple of days. I heard that your Dark Night was specially established by the Speaker, so you must be extraordinarily powerful. Take this opportunity to give our military region's new recruits a lesson and broaden their horizons. What do you think?" Zong Zhengyue suggested.
