You miss home already or something?\" The other soldier asked as he looked out the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no. The last thing I want is to go back home and deal with my dumb wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If your wife is dumb, I don't mind taking it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A much older voice appeared as several soldiers entered the living room from the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wish. Anyway, the floor cleared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep. Every room was checked. There are no zombies at all. The inside looked completely abandoned a long time ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the senior soldier stated it, the first soldier quickly stood up before the other one came back from the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the squad soldiers exited the condo building, they put red tape over the entrance before closing the broken door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one building finished clearing, there were still hundreds of thousands of various buildings in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren't alone. The entire army had split up into squads and checked each assigned condo one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking down the street, they could hear constant scouting planes flying overhead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the older-looking soldier's walkie-talkie turned on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squad 1170, please take shelter nearby. There are around a thousand zombies in your next building.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, they immediately ran towards a grocery store with red tape at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, they could see other squads dispersing into nearby buildings, seeming to be waiting for something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, a loud, mixed, growling sound could be heard traveling down the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the soldiers took a little peek, only to see the entire street filled with zombies running down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier immediately ducked back down, remaining still with the other soldiers as they waited for the horde to pass by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the growling sound had passed away, a loud explosion replaced it in the distance, followed by a gunshot and window shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite all the noise, the ten soldiers remained in place, waiting for the signal from the walkie-talkie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All cleared. You may resume your mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the soldiers stood back up and walked out onto the streets, they could see piles of bodies down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of soldiers were all carrying some sort of broken pieces of furniture, getting ready to burn all the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go. We still have our job to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking for a bit, they finally stopped at a condo apartment that was free of red tape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Corporal, how many more buildings do we have to clear today?\" The senior-looking soldier asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two more, and we can return to camp for the day.\" The young soldier replied as they entered the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the entrance, the soldiers immediately separated into pairs next to each of the doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the pairs began to have one of them take out a fire ax from their backpack while the other held their rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each of the pair in position, they all looked towards the corporal for the signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud bang could immediately be heard throughout the entire hallway, with the lock bashed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier on the back with the rifle immediately kicked the unlocked door, and the other soldier took out their pistol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing a low growling sound from the darkness inside, the two soldiers quickly turned on their helmet flashlights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the pair began walking in with their back facing each other, they could hear the growling sound getting louder and louder inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're the military. Please say one, two, three if you're human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing an even louder growling sound coming from one of the hallway rooms, the two soldiers started clearing the other room first instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kitchen cleared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bathroom cleared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clearing all the rooms one by one, there was now only a single room that hadn't been cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not locked.\" The first soldier stated as he could turn the doorknob back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even better. Help me open the door and run back. I can handle this myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the second soldier aimed his pistol, the first soldier started slowly turning the doorknob fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment a small gap was pushed, the first soldier immediately let it go before the second soldier kicked it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they expected, a single zombie was standing behind the door, being pushed to the ground by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not hesitating a single bit, the second soldier immediately opened fire, killing the zombie right in the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Man, if only every condo house were like this, \" the second soldier murmured as he quickly grabbed a few pieces of cloth nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wished. We got lucky there's only one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two covered their hand with the bedsheet cloth, they began wrapping the zombie corpse before dragging it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they stepped outside of the condo, the other pairs had already finished clearing their rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys got six zombies?\" the first soldier asked curiously as he stacked the zombie bodies on top of the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I got two. Squad B and C also got two. What's taking the other E so long?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the corporal finished talking, another pair of soldiers finally emerged from their room with five different corpses wrapped in cloth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn, did the whole family inside or something?\" The third soldier curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep.\" The fifth and the sixth soldier said at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rough... Anyway, it's time to clear the other rooms. We don't have all days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ten soldiers split up into pairs again, they went to their separate condo rooms in the twisting and turning hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ready?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the same method as earlier, the first and second soldiers entered the condo room and started clearing each of the individual rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clearing the entire thing, there was no single person or living thing inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's the entire first floor cleared. Let's go to the second floor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a few of the pairs were still clearing the first-floor room, the two soldiers started walking up the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly picked one of the rooms and busted it open, using the same method repeatedly to clear the rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was the same process, neither of them were willing to let their guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost as if they had heard examples of what happened when a few soldiers had taken their jobs too carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bedroom cleared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All cleared again... We are getting really lucky today. No zombies twice in a row.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't jinx it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two began heading back into the condo's 2nd-floor hallway, several other soldiers had already started clearing the other condo rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go clear the last one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--- Chapter Discover:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clearing from the sun being in the middle of the sky to the evening, they had finished clearing the entire condo building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were just shy of a hundred zombie bodies lying right at the condo entrance, with all kinds of clothes wrapped around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a simple flick of a match, the entire pile caught onto flames as they began heading away from the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you guys have any more ammo left?\" the sixth soldier asked as he revealed an empty magazine in his pistol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just go back to the camp to catch a little break. We still need to clear one more building before we can end the day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All nine soldiers in the squad were overjoyed by the corporal's answer as they let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, there's a break. I'm starving already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second soldier murmured as they began walking towards where they came from at the first building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just ate a few hours ago. All you think is eating, aren't you?\" The seventh soldier joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course that's what I'm thinking about all day. Or else why would I join the military?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We aren't eating in our break. That's for after we finished the mission.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The energy on the second soldier immediately disappeared, his eyes losing focus as if he had lost purpose in life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're going to eat dinner at like eight by then.\" The second soldier complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to get sent to stand guard instead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second soldier fell into silence, not speaking a single word as they continued down the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu, you want a peanut bar?\" The first soldier suddenly offered as he held something from his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell yes! I knew I could rely on you——Bruh, really? You know I can't eat chocolate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, too bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the first soldier started eating the chocolate-flavored peanut bar, the other eight couldn't help but laugh out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can trade some of your salary into snacks if you really want——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hell no. I'm saving my money for my future wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who's still asking for Bride price in an apocalypse? Tell me, and I'll go teach them some reality check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corporal's offer was rejected as the second soldier shook his head in disagreement.\u003C\u002Fp>",1533,"2026-06-10T06:59:31.433Z",1,"novelbin.me","2d9b33d38f1c5b2c7cb95d0ec396f35b54a4ee2036e23457bed9e8eb5deedc7e","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-470","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-468",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
