A few days passed, the firearms training gradually got on track, and the situation became increasingly tense.
That night, Li Mu was about to go to bed when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was Liu Wei, the team leader of the first team.
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Wei's anxious voice came over.
"Captain, someone in Building 5 has mutated."
Li Mu said: "Did you call the police?"
Liu Weidao: "I've already reported it, but it's useless. There are too many police cases now, and the police can't spare the manpower. Let our militia team handle it first."
Li Mu sighed, what he was worried about finally happened.
"I understand. Please inform me to call all the veterans, pick a dozen more skilled ones, bring weapons, and gather under the No. 5 building. I'll be there right away."
Liu Weidao: "Okay, captain, I will notify you now."
A few minutes later, everyone gathered under Building No. 5. Except for Li Mu, the remaining seven veterans were all present, each with an automatic rifle.
There were more than a dozen people left, all wearing stab-proof clothing, explosion-proof helmets and anti-cutting gloves. Five people held explosion-proof shields, five held explosion-proof steel forks, and five held arresting forks.
Binggui quickly explained a few words, and Li Mu hurried to the twelfth floor with a group of people.
On the twelfth floor, a frightened woman was standing at the door of the corridor with an uneasy expression. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Li Mu and his party arriving.
"Captain, you are here...Captain, my mother-in-law...she has mutated..."
Li Mu looked at the locked doors of the two houses on the twelfth floor. Inside the door of one of the houses, he could hear something banging inside the door.
"what happened?"
The woman explained: "Captain, my family strictly abides by the rules and all sleep in separate rooms during rest. I just had a rest today when I heard something moving in my mother-in-law's room, and I felt something was wrong."
"I didn't dare to open the door to my mother-in-law's room, for fear that it would be dangerous if she mutated. I approached the door and listened. The sound was very similar to what I saw online, so I quickly called the police."
"While I was calling the police, I don't know if I heard the noise, but my mother-in-law started banging on the door hard. The decoration of my house was just average, and the door of my mother-in-law's room was not very strong. The police never came. I had no choice but to hold on.
The child ran out of the house and locked the door."
"Before locking the door, I saw that my mother-in-law's door was almost broken apart. I left the child at the neighbor's house and will wait for you here."
Li Mu nodded: "I'm sorry, give me the key to your house. You can go hide at your neighbor's house first. I'll let you know when the matter is finished."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, captain, this is the key to my house. It's too troublesome for you."
…
When the woman entered the neighbor's house on the same floor, Li Mu directed more than a dozen soldiers and militiamen to form a formation that had been rehearsed many times. Five anti-riot shields faced the door in a fan shape.
Got out.
After the formation was set up, Li Mu walked over gently and opened the door.
This time the impact sound became clearer. Looking in from the outside, I saw that the door of the second bedroom had been smashed into pieces and was about to be broken at any time. Zombies could already be seen through the cracks in the broken door.
As if seeing Li Mu and his group, the zombies became even more excited, roaring and banging on the door harder.
Li Mu made a gesture, and more than a dozen militiamen gritted their teeth. According to the tactics they had rehearsed long ago, five militiamen with explosion-proof shields led by them slowly walked into the room and formed a defensive formation from a distance to the second bedroom.
Li Mu made a gesture again, and the seven veterans followed him and raised their guns, pointing at the zombies who were banging on the door. With an order, bang bang bang bang... a burst of intensive gunshots rang out.
The shattered door was suddenly filled with sawdust, and at the same time there were the shrill howls of zombies. After a round of gunfire, during the gap between changing magazines, zombies that had been beaten into half a sieve crawled out of the broken door.
came out.
Liu Wei raised his gun and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Li Mu, who signaled a dozen militiamen to take action.
Liu Wei said anxiously: "Captain, we can kill all the zombies with one more round of bullets without them taking action."
Li Mu said: "Do you think this person will be the only one in the community who turns into a zombie tonight?"
Liu Wei shook his head: "How is that possible? According to the practice of the past few days, more than a dozen people in our community turned into zombies overnight."
Li Mu said: "You also know that it is useless to call the police now. We can only rely on ourselves. Not only tonight, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... we will need to deal with the zombies ourselves for many days in the future."
"With our veterans, even if we work day and night, do you think we can hold on?"
Liu Wei was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It's fine for a day or two, but it won't work for a tough guy after a long time."
Li Mu said: "So, we need to train new people so that everyone has the ability to deal with zombies, so that we can also be liberated."
"The zombies in front of us have been beaten to death by us, and their attack power and mobility have been greatly weakened. Isn't it a good training target?"
"There are not many good opportunities like this. Let's hold the battle here and leave the zombies to a dozen of them."
Liu Wei suddenly realized this and saluted.
"Yes, Captain, I understand!"
More than a dozen militiamen also heard the conversation between the two. They were still a little timid when facing the zombies, but thinking about the increasingly cruel situation that followed, it was a rare opportunity to practice. They gradually calmed down, and the application of tactics gradually became more stable and steady.
flexible.
After more than ten minutes, the zombies were finally dealt with. They personally participated in killing the zombies. The dozen or so militiamen obviously showed more stability and confidence.
After dealing with the matters in Building 5, Li Mu realized that there would be many zombies that needed to be dealt with tonight, so Li Mu once again summoned dozens of militiamen, put on their equipment, and acted as night duty personnel.
Facing the upcoming situation, it is necessary to train more militiamen with actual combat experience.
…
That night, Li Mu led seven veterans and dozens of militiamen to eliminate a total of fourteen zombies. Not only did he achieve zero casualties, he also developed a team that could initially face zombie attacks.
Until dawn, Li Mu arranged for several veterans and dozens of militiamen on duty to rest. He squinted for a while and continued to direct everyone to complete the day's training.
People from the police and a group of volunteers also rushed over after dawn. They lacked combatants, but they did not lack logistics personnel.
The dozen or so zombies that were dealt with during the night were quickly taken away.
Li Mu also felt relieved a lot. Although the official frontline combatants were lacking, logistics personnel and all aspects of operations were still intact.
Sure enough, in the morning, several militiamen in training showed signs of mutation. They were tied up by Li Mu and placed in the duty room. When the police received the news, they immediately sent someone.
The official only lacks front-line combatants, not other personnel. If someone like this is already under control, as long as you call the police, the police will be dispatched immediately and taken away.
In view of the less danger during the day, many zombie mutations were discovered at an early stage and could be controlled easily. Li Mu left the afternoon training to Liu Wei, who had slept all morning.
Li Mu went home to catch up on his sleep. After all, it was more dangerous at night, and he had to face zombies head-on. When no one had much experience and confidence, Li Mu needed to personally handle the situation.
After dinner, Li Mu summoned several veterans and more than a hundred militiamen to serve as a guard force for the night. Naturally, so many people would not be needed just to deal with zombies. The main thing is to train the troops, so that each militiaman can face the zombies head-on and practice their courage.
,increase everyone’s self-confidence.
That night, Li Mu personally led the team, and nothing went wrong. As zombies were eliminated one by one, everyone's timidity and self-confidence gradually began to recover.
Zombies no longer look so scary, and everyone can deal with them by cooperating with each other.
After catching up on a morning's sleep, Li Mu drove around the area in the afternoon and found that the situation was very bad.
Only under the leadership of Li Mu can Yuyuan Community eliminate zombies with zero casualties. In other communities, this is difficult to achieve without a super powerful leader.
In the past two days, the responsibility of dealing with zombies has slowly been transferred to the militia. In many communities, the militiamen have sacrificed more or less in order to eliminate the zombies.
The nearby Maple Leaf community was the most unlucky. In order to deal with the zombies, more than ten militiamen died overnight. Now, when it comes to night shifts, everyone talks about it with a pale face.
There are also many communities that simply act like ostriches and do not work night shifts. If they encounter zombies, they will directly lock them into their homes and then ask the police to deal with them all at once during the day.
Moreover, as more and more night shift militiamen died and were avoiding the night shift, this trend gradually spread.
Soon, night fell. Due to the serious situation, Li Mu still led the night shift today. Compared with other communities, Yuyuan Community is much more stable. Under the leadership of Li Mu, everyone performs their duties, despite the chaos on the Internet.
But it is rarely affected.
Having just dealt with a zombie and having nothing to do, Li Mu checked his phone again.
This time, the shortage of front-line soldiers in the military is nationwide, and it is impossible to train them in the short term.
There is no other way. Nowadays, most combat tasks against zombies can only be handed over to the militia teams in communities or villages. This has become the norm. As the general reserve force, the military provides support wherever the danger is greatest.
However, for militiamen, not everyone has the courage to face zombies. Some communities have sacrificed many militiamen because of their night shift, which has caused many people to change their minds about this. Some communities simply no longer have people on night shift at night.
.
There are many such communities.
However, this also raises a question, what should we do if someone turns into a zombie at night?
It's okay for singles, as there is only one person in the family. If you have a family and start a business, and the family lives together, even if they sleep in separate rooms, they cannot prevent the danger.
With the strength of the zombies, except for the stronger anti-theft door used for the main door, the doors of the rooms inside the house are not as strong as expected.
Even if it cannot be opened in a short period of time, you can always break it open if you spend more time. If the police do not come after calling the police, and there are no militiamen coming to help, with the strength of zombies, it is impossible to open the door overnight.
At that time, the whole family will be in danger.
This aspect is not nonsense. Li Mu has just seen several cases in this area on his mobile phone. Most of them are due to the lack of police force and the inability to dispatch police officers. No one in the militia dares to be on duty at night. If something goes wrong, he can only take care of it himself.
, many families suffered as a result.
It’s not that there are no solutions online. Many people are already doing this for their families, but the method is a bit tragic.
When a virus breaks out, there is always a buffer time. No matter how fast a person turns into a zombie, it still takes a certain amount of time.
From the onset of symptoms to the onset of mutation, there is still a period of sobriety. Although it is not long, it is enough for some people to do something.
In the past two nights, many people have realized that they are going to become zombies. During the short period of time when their consciousness is still awake and they can still control their bodies, many people simply reluctantly leave the house and run away for fear of harming their families after the mutation.
Exit the building where you live.
Some are even afraid that after turning into zombies, staying in the community will still be dangerous to their families. Taking advantage of the short waking time, many people who are about to mutate ran to the road outside the community, found a place, and waited quietly.
Physical changes.
After reading the news, Li Mu let out a long sigh, damn it's the end of the world.
In fact, compared with overseas, China has done very well.
As we all know, in foreign countries, especially in the West, the government's ability to organize and mobilize is really poor. Especially for things that require the mandatory mobilization of all human and material resources in the country, few countries can do it.
But this time in the face of the zombie virus, uniting as one and mobilizing all material and manpower to deal with the zombies is the best way.
Just like in China, if there are no officials to stabilize the situation, deploy various materials, personnel and weapons, and maintain industrial production capacity, the situation will be absolutely terrible.
If nothing else, most people would go crazy when faced with less than one tenth chance of survival.
No one trains us, no one gives us weapons, no one provides materials and equipment, no one organizes mobilization...
In this state of disunity, more than 90% of the people have no room for resistance in the face of zombies. It is very clear what the outcome will be. The collapse of social order is only the slightest. Not to mention that there is no one left in ten, there is no one left in the hundred people.
Can't do it either.
Overseas, this is the situation now. Everyone is like a piece of scattered sand, working on their own, and almost all factories have stopped working. There is no way to stop work. The industrial chain has completely collapsed. Without a complete industrial chain, even if a certain component can be produced, what is the point?
use.
Things are better in the West. Due to the high ownership rate of guns, everyone is more or less trained and can quickly eliminate zombies when encountering them. However, the biggest shortcoming is that there is no ability to organize and mobilize at all. The social order has collapsed. Everyone
Each fights for various supplies, and their cruelty is no less than that of zombies.
Other very backward areas have little industry, a large population, little mobilization capabilities, and not many weapons. Many weapons are imported from abroad and they do not have the ability to produce them themselves.
Facing the biggest disaster that has ever happened to mankind, there was no resistance at all, and the game was over.
Many countries are now full of zombies, with only a few survivors hiding and eking out an existence. Strictly speaking, the country has been destroyed.
Fortunately, this is China, the government has strong mobilization and organizational capabilities, and order is still good.
