Row one burst fire! Row two, get ready!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the civilian guards, a man who looked to be in his forties, yelled as everyone quickly followed his direction and began firing at the three mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the survivors also fell onto the ground, avoiding being shot directly as they began crawling closer and closer to the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, it's not working! The bullets aren't penetrating!\" One of the guards pointed out as his heat detector showed the mutant was still standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep firing! We need to buy as much time as possible! As long as they are being stalled here, we did our jobs.\" The old man yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As row one began to run out of bullets, the old man quickly directed row two to burst fire to allow the first row to begin reloading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How the hell did the mutant get inside the training field? How did they not show any sign while inside those trucks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man murmured to himself as he watched his heat detector, showing the mutants standing still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon enough, both rows were starting to run out of ammo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir! What should we do?\" One of the guards asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't fucking know. Shit, shit, shit! Does anyone have grenades or anything?\" The old man urgently asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got a smoke grenade.\" One of the civilian guards wearing a SWAT uniform replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuck it, just throw it at them.\" The old man directed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if they can see through——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you come up with a plan! Maybe they can't see through the smoke and buy enough time for people to get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The SWAT officer hesitated for a second but threw the smoke grenade in the end as soon as everyone began to stop firing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the smoke began to appear out of the can, all the civilian guards took out their tactical shovels and started praying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their surprise, not a single one of the mutants ran out of the smoke, almost as if they were fully dependent on their vision and hearing to confirm where to go at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, start retreating out——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the old man could finish talking, suddenly, the sound of an air-raid alert could be heard from every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, go, go! Don't just stand here! Let the survivors go out first! Don't rush! Everyone has time to leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the order, all the survivors were rushed as fast as they could. Fortunately, the entrance was wide enough to prevent people from stomping one over another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the smoke grenade started to dissipate as a gist of strong wind suddenly blew the smoke to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a third of the survivors still heading out, all of the guards made their last stand as they held their shovels like a spear, forming a human wall as if they didn't leave any gap between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember! Your family and your friends are all behind this fence! Anyone who runs away will be a coward all their life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man yelled as the smoke was now completely gone, with the three mutant turning their head towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single guard dared move, but some of them were tumbling. They only had mandatory training and had only fought normal zombies on the walls in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three mutants began running faster and faster, some of the soldiers closed their eyes as they prepared for the inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to their surprise, a sudden wave of gunshots started appearing from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of soldiers were standing by the fence shooting their rifles, with some hoping over the fences as they began forming temporary units.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all! Good job for holding! We'll take it over from here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the soldiers with Major rank yelled as he began waving at the civilian guards to exit the training field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As all the civilian guards quickly started heading out of the training field, the old man headed towards the major.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They don't have good eyesight, but they are bulletproof.\" The old man warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the heads-up. Can I ask what your name is?\" the major asked curiously, noting that all the guards seemed to respect the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? I'm just a retired soldier. Good luck to you all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man left the area as he joined the civilian guards, surprising the major, who expected the old man to say his name for credit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the situation didn't let him ask why, as his attention was quickly shifted back to directing the soldiers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone! RPG is coming soon! Just hold on for a few more seconds! Conserve your ammo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-Sir, I think we should just leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A civilian guard following behind Man Ge nervously asked as they began stumbling onto piles of mutilated bodies all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up. I'm not backing out like some pussy. If you are scared, you can leave... Just remember that leaving your duty is punishable by exile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three of the civilian guards hesitated for a second but continued as the group finally made it all the way to the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their surprise, the entire area was dead silent, with gunshots coming from the exit direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is everyone?\" Man Ge wondered as the group began to separate a little to search for survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the only thing they found were dead bodies on top of dead bodies, with some even wearing the unique civilian guard uniforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the only thing missing was the mutant's dead bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone stop searching. Maybe they all headed to the main exit. Let's just go back——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Man Ge was about to call it a day, a sudden scream could be heard in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\" Man Ge yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group immediately gathered and started heading towards where the scream was coming from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they moved closer and closer to the sound, they noticed many people inside tents, as if they were all hiding inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not a single one made any noises or even dared to open their tents, despite a few of the civilian guards demanding it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the fuck is happening?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Ge awkwardly scratches his head as the only response he gets back from the people in the tent is to either go away or hide in a different tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eventually, they finally see something ahead of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two mutants stood in the middle of a ruined tent next to a blanket with a big bump inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Man Ge and the guards lured the mutant out first, then opened fire at the two mutants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as expected, there was not a single dent on the two mutants besides the rifle round that Man Ge fired from his gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, they were running into the ammo issue as the mutant didn't show any sign of being dead at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire in the hole! Get down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Ge pulled the pin and threw the grenade right at the two mutants, who were still stunned by the gunshots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud explosion, the two mutants were covered in dust from the dirt, unable to confirm whether they were dead or alive as none of them had a heat detector in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It has to be dead, right?\" One of the civilian guards nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nobody answered as everyone waited silently for the dust to settle, all praying for the two mutants to be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, against all odds, the two mutants were still alive. Fortunately, their legs were completely blown off, rendering them incapable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their only movement was crawling toward the guards at a snail's pace, which made the two easy targets for the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Man Ge himself joined in, and they finished the two mutants off after breaking several tactical shovels and trying to cut their heads off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everything was finally over, Xiaoyun, along with the entire army, finally arrived at the training field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grass field that was once neatly organized was now an uneven dirt patch as hundreds of footsteps were recorded there, with several visible explosion marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But more importantly, the two mutants were fully dead, as half of their body was blown into pieces, with the head being the only remaining part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job everyone. You all can go back to rest now... Except for the late soldiers who just arrived here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xiaoyun finished announcing the news, most of the soldiers immediately began leaving and heading back to their dorm as the moon was still high up in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you all so late?\" Xiaoyun calmly asked, not flinching a single bit despite being late himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the soldiers looked at each other for a second, but all of them remained silent as each of them had their own excuses that would simply land them into more trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Imagine if all the other soldiers are like you all. Most of the survivors over there would have been all dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun's tone started to get more serious as he pointed over the other corner, where hundreds of thousands of people were standing still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope I never get to tell you all this again... Everyone you are dismissed except the last one thousand people. You are staying here to clean up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1558,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","0604e3b22ab080d4de85972004df07269fd0622d0ce4692c32af14c8453aaacd","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-317","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-315",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
