91: Chapter 91: Zombies understand military tactics?

The Soldier on duty at the entrance took the credentials and examined them carefully.

"Please wait a moment." The Soldier returned the credentials, then walked into the guard booth and dialed the internal phone.

The military unit had electricity. External calls were definitely impossible due to base station and civilian satellite malfunctions, but internal calls could be made.

Soon after, the Soldier walked out again.

"Please wait a moment, someone will be out to pick you up shortly."

"Alright, thank you!" Shen Wengang thanked him.

"Aren't you from the Southeast Military Region?" Left Wen Shan asked.

"Yes." Shen Wengang offered no explanation.

Left Wen Shan nodded, asking no further questions. As long as he was brought here, it didn't matter where the other person was from; it had nothing to do with him.

Not long after, the group, led by an officer, entered the Commander-in-Chiefs office.

At this time, Zongzheng Yue had just returned after getting 200 Combat Suits and was a little puzzled to hear that someone from the Central Military Region wanted to see him.

Soon, Shen Wengang led Left Wen Shan into Zongzheng Yue's office, while the others waited in the adjacent conference room.

"Reporting, Commander, I am Tiangang from the Central Military Region, and these are my credentials." Shen Wengang handed over his credentials.

Zongzheng Yue took the credentials and looked at them, raising an eyebrow slightly.

"Nightmare?"

He knew of Nightmare, a special action team newly formed by the Military Political Department at the Speaker's command, whose members were Mutants recruited from all over the country.

Some time ago, when he was in the capital, he had privately heard the Speaker discuss this matter. However, at the time, he hadn't taken it too seriously. After all, people immune to the virus were extremely rare, and it was no exaggeration to describe them as unique. Fighting zombies with just a few people like that was unrealistic, so he had little interest.

He had now discovered good things like Combat Suits, which meant the number of people who could resist the virus could continuously expand. Wasn't this more cost-effective than painstakingly searching for Mutants nationwide?

"Do you have a mission in the Southeast Military Region?" Zongzheng Yue returned the credentials and asked.

"Reporting, Commander, we are out for training. Yesterday, at the border between Yusu Province and Hushang Province, we met this comrade. He said he had important information to report to you, so we escorted him here." Shen Wengang explained.

"Oh! May I ask who you are?" Zongzheng Yue looked at the dusty Left Wen Shan beside him.

"Commander Zong, I am Left Wen Shan from Matang Settlement." Left Wen Shan quickly introduced himself.

"Matang Settlement?" Zongzheng Yue jumped up when he heard Matang Settlement, completely missing who he was.

Left Wen Shan was stunned.

"You said you're from Matang Settlement? Quickly tell me, what exactly happened?" Zongzheng Yue asked in a hurry.

"Commander Zong! It was too tragic, too tragic! Over 300,000 civilians all died!" Left Wen Shan's emotions also started to rise.

"How did they die?" Zongzheng Yue asked anxiously.

"That night, around seven or eight o'clock, not long after sunset, the patrol discovered that zombies were continuously gathering on the opposite bank of the river, growing in number, estimated to be hundreds of thousands. We were a bit scared, worried that the zombies would attack the Settlement, so we called you for help. Around nine o'clock, they started walking across the bridge. They moved very slowly, taking over an hour to cross the 2-kilometer Ma'an Bridge. The zombies that crossed first just stood there, neither attacking nor rampaging. Not long after, we heard gunfire from the opposite bank of the river, guessing that your troops must have arrived. At this point, the zombies on the bridge suddenly went berserk, frantically rushing towards the opposite bank of the river. In just over ten minutes, the gunfire stopped. We didn't dare to go over and look, only guessing that the Soldiers who rushed to the rescue were probably in grave danger. Not long after, these zombies frantically rushed back. There wasn't even a decent weapon in the Settlement, and it was quickly breached by the zombies. The Security Team, hundreds of people, formed a human wall, blocking the North Gate, and only then did they escort my secretary and me out. We had no transportation, and walked for two days and two nights on the road. If we hadn't met these comrades, we probably would have died on the way."

Left Wen Shan, with snot and tears, recounted what had happened at the time.

"Hundreds of thousands of zombies? Surrounding a point to draw out reinforcements?" Zongzheng Yue caught the key point.

"How is this so unreal?"

"Are zombies becoming intelligent?"

"Are they even using military tactics now?"

Zongzheng Yue fell into deep thought for a moment.

"How does it sound like the zombies were waiting for reinforcements?" Zongzheng Yue said.

"That's right, we had that feeling at the time too. Although we didn't want to believe it, that's how it looked." Left Wen Shan confirmed.

"In that case, this zombie siege incident was an organized, premeditated attack." Zongzheng Yue said, thinking.

"Commander Zong, isn't this a bit too far-fetched? I've never heard of zombies launching premeditated attacks." Shen Wengang, standing nearby, said.

"This situation is very important, I will report it to the Council. Thank you for bringing back such crucial intelligence. You can rest here in the Military Region for a while." Zongzheng Yue said to Left Wen Shan.

"Thank you! Then I'll trouble Commander Zong." Left Wen Shan thanked him.

"Commander, since the person has been delivered, we won't stay much longer." Shen Wengang also prepared to take his leave.

"Tiangang, how about this. Since you've all come, don't be in such a hurry to leave, stay in the Southeast Military Region for a couple more days. I heard that your Nightmare team was specially formed at the Speaker's personal request, so you must be extraordinarily powerful. Why don't you take this opportunity to give our Military Region's new recruits a lesson and broaden their horizons? What do you think?" Zongzheng Yue suggested.
