Chapter 639: End of Days – Southern Plains (2)
The zombie horde was unable to hurt the police for now, but that did not mean everything was smooth sailing for them either. On the contrary, the situation was a right mess.
They had an equally massive number of civilians that needed protecting from the zombies. In this city alone, there were four million helpless civilians, a number which the police force could not even compare to.
During the initial phases in particular, the administration did not consider the possibility of the virus being so widespread amongst the asymptomatic civilians. By the time the civilians had evacuated into the underground shelters, it was too late.
Often, it only took one zombie to appear amongst the civilians and it was certain doom for that entire shelter.
As a shelter, it was naturally well-defended from the outside world. On the flip side, that also meant that trying to get out of such a fortified position wasnt easy. A weakness that was further compounded by the panic amongst the fleeing masses. Even if the outside world had no way of hearing the horrific screams echoing within the chambers of the shelter, the surveillance cameras captured every gruesome second of human flesh being torn asunder, or simply stampeded by a frantic mob.
The 14th Shelter of the 12th District has an infected, please dispatch aid immediately The 11th Shelter of the 5th District has
Calls for help flooded in one by one to the police headquarters, headed by the Chief of Police, Shentu Congyang. Around him were his trustworthy subordinates, all retired veterans from the military. Every one a fierce warrior ready for combat. Unfortunately, this was no riot they were dealing with, neither was it a dangerous criminal. Instead, they were dealing with the helpless masses.
If there was one sliver of light in this darkness, it was that while Karlston might have disabled the communications going in and out of Southern Plains, the military and police werent affected at all they had their own specialised channels and equipment.
We dont have enough police to save all the shelters at once contact the military at once. Get Colonel Nalan to send his troops to the 6th District, 7th District, 8th District and the 11th District
Every city on Gaia had such a standardised grid system. From the 1st to 12th District, the city would be sectioned up to allow for easy disaster response. Each district would at least hold a hundred shelters of varying sizes. These shelters would be situated between every two streets.RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only
However, the sheer scale and chaos of the outbreak had engulfed all twelve districts at once.
Faced with such odds, even the police, with their invincible exosuits, found themselves lacking
Yet the threat of zombies paled in comparison to the true terror of this outbreak: no one knew if the person standing next to them would suddenly turn out to be infected.
To the police chief, this man was like a ray of hope. Seeing the haggard look on his colleagues face, Nalan couldnt help but sigh lightly. I know youve done your best
Colonel, we need to gather up the survivors quickly. I need your troops to bring those survivors out of the city. Shentu Congyang started laying out his plan
Shentu Im sorry but I cant do that. Nalan averted his gaze at that point. The brass has already given the command. Until the testing kits arrive, no one is leaving Southern Plains, including us
As proud servicemembers of the Federation, it is our duty to hold the line no matter the cost. But those refugees
Theres no way we can guarantee that the infected arent amongst them.
Then what about our families? Even if its just them Shentu tried one last time.
Im sorry Nalan lowered his head and said no more.
Based on his expression, it was obvious the colonel did not approve of this command either. But as a military man, it was his duty to follow orders.
Who gave the order?
General Rodenas.
The Raging Bear that brutish *******
Shentus exasperation, his gritted teeth and clenched fists, all of that could be felt through the screen. For the colonel, his family members werent in Southern Plains, so that was one less thing he needed to worry about. However, his own situation was truly dire.
Chief! Weve spotted a strange monster on the battlefield. One of the men monitoring the 2nd District forwarded a video feed to Shentu. Weve never seen this strain of monster before
