Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

"Let's go before the zombies get here." Old Liu pointed out.

Everyone began moving again as they quickly realized it was still nowhere near safe to argue back with Zhen Ti.

But many of them had their back turned as if they were preparing Zhen Ti in case he shot again.

However, Zhen Ti didn't shoot again as he remained silent the whole way through to the semi-truck, with his gun in his pocket.

---

"Everyone drop your gun and any dangerous weapon on the box over there." One of the soldiers standing near the semi-truck directed.

"Why should we give up our weapons?" One of the survivors yelled.

Seeing the crowd of survivors becoming rowdier and rowdier, the lone soldiers immediately dial his superior.

"What happened?" A soldier with captain rank asked as he walked towards the lone soldier.

"They aren't giving up their weapons. What should I do, captain?"

Without any hesitation, the captain pulled out his rifle and aimed it right toward the crowd.

"If you want to keep your weapon, leave. If you want to get on this ride, follow our rules, and we'll guarantee your safety. thank you for using NovelFire _l _e _mpy _r

I don't care if you get to keep your weapon in Qingyuan. We in Luoping have different rules.

This is my last warning. We'll be leaving in three minutes. If you don't start moving, we'll leave without you guys."

As the crowd hesitated to obey the order and began chattering among themselves, the captain began moving his finger toward the trigger.

"I-I surrender my weapon."

One of the survivors in the front immediately threw their guns into the box, then headed inside the open trailer on the semi-truck.

"So everyone here is leaving on their own?" the captain asked as he pulled the trigger again.

"N-No sir!"

After another person put their weapon in the box, more and more began joining in and putting their weapon into the box.

However, as the large group headed toward the semi-truck, the lone soldier stopped them again.

"No melee weapon either. We'll provide all the safety you need."

The crowd once again started chatting, but a few groups within the crowd quickly threw their melee weapons away and went inside the semi-trucks.

"Just a reminder, all the spots are first to get first serve."

Hearing the captain's warning, the entire crowd immediately began throwing their melee weapon into the box and heading inside different semi-trucks.

Soon enough, almost several empty boxes that used to hold ammo were full of guns and melee weapons.

As more and more survivors came in and lined up to enter the semi-trucks, a soldier with the rank of Major suddenly walked in and whispered something to the captain.

"Anyone here named Zhen Ti? The mayor of Qingyuan? Our commander wants to meet you." The captain asked out loud.

"I am... Ba Pin and Old Liu, take care of my son."

"Come back safely!" The woman holding Zhen Ti's son yelled, tears flowing out of her eyes as Zhen Ti waved goodbye.

As Zhen Ti headed towards the captain, his face was calm, with no signs of fear at all.

"You're Zhen Ti?" The major curiously asked.

"Yes... What is Mr.Xiaoyun looking for me for?"

"I don't know... Also, it's not Commander Xiaoyun who wants to see you. It's Commander Lingang who wants to see you."

As the two headed towards a tank, Zhen Ti could see the soldiers holding the zombies back, with none of them willing to back down despite overwhelming numbers of zombies heading in their direction.

"Zhen Ti! Long time no see."

Lingang patted Zhen Ti on the shoulder as the two finally met again.

"Yeah... I never knew I would meet you again like this."

"Come on, cheer up. I know what happened already. It's not your fault... Okay, maybe it's your fault if that makes you feel better.

But it already happened. What we need to do is make it right and move on from the past——"

"Lingang, you don't need to comfort me. Can I ask what you are looking for me for?" Zhen Ti asked irritatedly.

"I just wanted to make sure you're alive. You know half of this operation is to get you out alive."

"Me? I'm just a useless puppet who fails even to do anything——"

"Oh shit. It looks like it's our time to go. Everyone! Throw your grenade and head back inside your vehicle!"

Lingang repeated the same message over the walkie-talkie as he dragged Zhen Ti inside the tank with him.

"Don't try to recover your MG-42s! Just abandon it here. Human life is more important! I repeat, there is no need to recover the weapons! We'll come back one day and get it back!"

Lingang yelled through the transmission again after noticing that some of the soldiers were still trying to carry the machine gun back.

The soldiers finally drop their MG-42s as more and more zombies begin flooding the streets since the firepower is now gone.

With the last squad and survivor getting inside the semi-truck, Lingang immediately ordered all the tanks to spearhead through the thickening line of the zombie horde.

Thankfully, the zombies were not thick enough to stop the tanks as they cleared a path for all the vehicles behind to drive past without suffering too much damage.

---

As they drove past the zombie horde, Lingang suddenly ordered all vehicles to drive towards the city's exit and head back directly to Luoping instead of the camp at Qingyuan's training field.

"Sir, shouldn't we be heading back to reunite with Commander Xiaoyun?" The driver curiously asked.

"Should I drag this many zombies back to the camp for him to deal with? Am I the commander, or are you the commander?"

The driver shut his mouth as all the vehicles slowly turned right to head towards the exit, with a massive zombie horde still chasing after them.

"Zhen Ti, you ready to explain yourself in front of Commander Xiaoyun?" Lingang curiously asked as the zombies were now far back in the distance.

"I... I don't know. I fucked up too much... He even told me to watch out for the metro entrances, and I still wasn't prepared for it."

As Zhen Ti looked down at his hand, he suddenly could see blood all over it. But it quickly disappeared as Lingang spoke up again.

"Don't worry. I'll try to ask Commander Xiaoyun for a lenient sentence... But how did you fucked up this hard, though? What was Zhen Ren doing?"

Zhen Ti sat in silence for a second, then answered.

"I had my army split up into three groups, each holding their assigned metro entrances. Then I asked Zhen Ren to stay in the middle of the city at the training field we set up as a quick response force.

But last night, a mysterious group of shadowy figure zombies appeared in the street and attacked several of the night patrols. Then, the metro entrance blew up out of nowhere.

Before I knew it, all three of the army were lost... I tried to send people to Zhen Ren to request help, but those shadowy figures killed every single messenger.

And soon enough, I'm pretty sure they were facing zombies from their side as well."

Hearing Zhen Ti's answer, Lingang's confusion was finally answered as he connected all the dots in his head.

"Damn. It really isn't your fault, then... Ahem, Pi Gang, how long do we have to drive before we get back to Luoping?"

"About two or three hours, sir."

"Okay... Crap, I forgot to send a messenger to Xiaoyun."

Lingang quickly turned on his walkie-talkie transmission and directed the radio operator to send a signal to Xiaoyun.

---

"What the hell is taking Lingang so long?" Xiaoyun wondered as it was now seven in the morning.

"Sir, Commander Ningjing just reported they had successfully reunited its troops."

"Good, tell them to head back to Luoping. There's no need for them to head back here. You can go now."

As the radio operator left the room, Xiaoyun sat still in his room and waited.

Only after another thirty minutes does Xiaoyun finally receive another piece of information.

"Commander Xiaoyun, Lingang had changed his direction and heading towards Luoping since there were too many zombies chasing after them."

"Huh... No wonder why it took them so long. You can go now... Actually, tell everyone to get ready. We're leaving soon."

Xiaoyun immediately began packing up everything as the radio operator excitedly ran out of the room.

When Xiaoyun headed out of the tent, everyone was already inside their vehicle, with everything packed.

"Everyone, we're finally heading back home!"

Hearing the word out of Xiaoyun's mouth, all the soldiers began celebrating as they were finally able to rest a little inside their vehicle after being awake since three in the morning.

"Finally... I'm so tired."

The alternate Tianci suddenly came back for a second to stated her complain out loud before disappearing again as the normal Tianci started up the car.
