Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Right before the city was a massive river, which had risen to a much higher level due to the spring rains of the past few weeks.

"Is the bridge fully cleared yet?" A middle-aged soldier curiously asked, standing right behind the old man.

"No, sir. It will take at least one more hour to have the road completely clean from all the cars."

As a young soldier answered the middle-aged man, the old man stepped back down from the roof.

"No need to rush, Lieutenant Colonel Jixi. We still have plenty of time to prepare."

The old man who answered was Yiming, who had a firm look on his face, unfazed by the days of living outside.

"But we had been drilling for almost half a month now. Everyone in the army is starting to get impatient from waiting."

Before Jixi could continue with his complaint, an officer with a Colonel\'s badge walked in.

"Commander Yiming, the Eastern bridge is fully cleared. My unit is ready to move in."

A much younger, seemingly even younger than Jixi, said out loud with his face full of excitement.

"Do not advance until the other bridges are fully cleared. Do you understand, Colonel Mingxu?"

"Yes, sir!"

As the Colonel headed back down the stairs, Yiming shifted his binoculars to the bridges directly.

He could see several military cars towing all the abandoned cars that blocked the entrance to Dongguan.

Unfortunately, the main bridge to the city had a flipped-over oil truck that blocked almost the entire road.

Even though Yiming could advance around through the other bridges, not clearing it was just too risky for him.

In his mind, the only thing he needed to do to win over Dongguan was to play it as safe as possible.

Even though it would most likely take half a year or even longer, he wasn\'t willing to go with a riskier plan for a small time payout.

After waiting for almost an hour, several other Colonels came in and reported to be fully clear.

With Zhen Ren reporting that the main bridge had been cleared, it was finally time to start the operation.

"Everyone! Remember, your life is much more valuable than whatever number of zombies you can kill.

I want to see all of your faces when we bring our glory back to our fellow countrymen!"

With a salute, Yiming stepped down from the stage as the soldiers began moving towards their designated area.

Every Colonel was assigned a bridge from which to operate, with Yiming\'s only having a few thousand troops serving as observation stations.

More importantly, he controlled all of the artillery, allowing him to send strikes across the river as the last reserve.

Or even directly at the bridge to prevent zombies from heading toward Guangzhou, although this also means they can\'t expand East.

Unless he wrap even further East, which would require going through Huizhou, which was a completely different city.

"Now we wait..."

On the other side of Guangzhou, all the way over in Zhaoqing...

Yezi was at the top of a makeshift watchtower, looking directly at a city ahead of him.

His army had completely blocked off the main entrance to the city as their base location.

However, unlike Yiming, he ended the training just a day before Xiaoyun\'s wedding.

His army had cleared 1% of the entire city and established a foothold for further advances, all within a single day.

"Commander Yezi... Why did we split up the army in half?" A soldier with a Liutentnant colonel badge asked as he stood behind him.

"We don\'t need the full army to clear Zhaoqing... Jiangmen is the one that we need to watch for."

Yezi answered as he took out a piece of paper before handing it over to the Lieutenant Colonel.

"Then why aren\'t we the ones going to Jiangmen? Shouldn\'t Colonel Han Bang be staying here instead?"

"Read the paper first."

As the Lieutenant Colonel turned his attention to the paper at hand, he was shocked by the information on it.

It was a report of massive zombie hordes forming in Guangxi, right at the border of Guangdong in Wuzhou.

Seeing the officer behind him not speaking up, Yezi lowered his binoculars before putting on sunglasses.

"Our goal is to just prepare a defense for those hordes... Clearing Zhaoqing is just an extra."

"But then, wouldn\'t it make more sense to concentrate our forces?" The officer questioned.

"And what if the zombies horde head down south and wrap around to Jiangmen?"

Yezi\'s answer finally made the officer realize the reason for the split, but a question remained in his mind.

It was clear he was trying to hold off both flanks for Foshan. But there was still one last possible flank on the map.

"How about Zhongshan? What if they wrap even further south?" The officer raised his concern.

"Then there\'s nothing we can do about it... It\'s up to Xiaoyun to deal with that."

As Yezi and the officer headed down from the watchtower, a soldier with no badges was waiting right below.

"Commander Yezi, the soldiers are beginning to head back to base now."

"Good... Tell the cook to bring out their best food today. The soldiers deserve a good dinner."

"Yes, sir."

As the sun continued to set on the horizon, Yezi let out a sigh and stretched out his arm.

"When will this war end?"

Lastly, all the way over to Changsha...

As Lingang headed back inside his tent, he was beyond exhausted from the last few days of endless missions.

Zhongxiong was directing him all over the place, almost like a cattle, going from the north of Changsha all the way to the south.

Even though it was all just skirmishes to reclaim the outskirts of the city, he could feel his soldiers were getting a little tired.

More importantly, he was a little unhappy seeing Zhongxiong\'s army walking around while they did all the heavy lifting.

Still, he couldn\'t really complain about it, as his unit was all motorized while Zhongxiong\'s army was all on foot.

There was simply no realistic way for Zhongxiong\'s infantry to fight alongside him unless he slowed down his unit.

Not to mention, Zhongxiong had given him the desperate fuel he needed ever since he arrived in Changsha.

"I need to talk to them... Sunday should be a good break day to repair up all the vehicles."

As Lingang took off his camouflaged jacket and pants, he slowly laid down in his sleeping bag.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, a fly flew on top of the tent, making all kinds of noises.

"For fuck sake..."

Unable to sleep, he reached over to his backpack before taking out a small wallet.

Inside was an ID before the outbreak.

A picture of a young-looking man\'s pale skin—the polar opposite of the tanned skin he had now.

Putting the old ID back in, Lingang looked into his wallet again before taking out another ID.

The new ID was much tanner and older, closer to what he looks like now, and it boldly stated Colonel Lingang from Luoping on top.

"Almost two years now..." Lingang murmured as he put the new ID back into his wallet.

Just as he was about to put the wallet back into his backpack, a small reflection from his wallet caught his eye.

Confused, he opened his wallet again, only to see a piece of paper with something printed on it.

"She really sneaked this in..." Lingang murmured as he took out the picture to have a closer look.

A middle-aged woman was right at the center of the picture with a baby girl resting in her arms.

Within seconds, a frown appeared on Lingang\'s face. But when he saw his wife\'s big belly, his face returned to a smile.

"Come on, Lingang, you\'re the one who told her to keep it... You promised her you\'re going to raise her daughter as if it is yours."

After putting the picture and putting the wallet away, Lingang\'s mind was still a little conflicted.

Deep inside, he regretted a little for telling her to keep it.

His mind was filled with questions about why he even bothered to continue his marriage with a woman who had been defiled.

Especially with the position he was in, there were lines of women who were all willing to give their bodies to him.

"What\'s wrong with you, Lingang? Why are you shaming her when she didn\'t even have a choice?

Are you really a man? Or are you some sort of pussy who can\'t grow up for once?"

After rolling several times on the bed, Lingang finally came up with a conclusion in his mind.

"I love her..."
