Have we won?
We seem to have won, yes. For the first time since the Serpent People invaded, humans have secured a victory in a battle.
Zombies have been completely eradicated, their exact numbers beyond count. All we know is the valley leading to Guisui Institution No.1 is littered with the corpses of zombies, innumerable, certainly in the hundreds of thousands.
The attacking Serpent People's spaceship left, and the Armored Beasts have been wiped out, including those monsters dubbed Armored Turtles.
However, the Serpent People suffered no losses, so this victory is somewhat marred.
But if we consider it a defensive battle, then even a discounted victory is still a victory—and a monumental one at that—since it's the first time humans have managed to defend a shelter against a direct assault by the Serpent People.
