At a high altitude, two figures gradually moved toward Georgia Tech School of Industrial Design. Soon, large CH-47 Chinooks appeared on top of the university and prepared for the cleanup operation.
Over thirty elite troops were dispatched for the initial cleanup operation, meanwhile on the ground a larger convoy of soldiers and personnel were approaching to occupy this site that would be very useful for the future of the community.
"Zz... We are approaching the site, begin deployment operations."
"Zz... Proceed with caution, remember that losses are not allowed." Soon, the response was heard on the helicopters' radio and the helicopters soon approached to take off the troops.
"Z... A-1 team descends directly to the second floor, B-2 team initiates clearance through the second floor."
"Zz... Roger that!"
After everyone was ready, the helicopters began to deploy around the building and ropes came down from the helicopters directly.
"Craac! Craac! Craac! Craac!"
The first team wasted no more time and progressively entered through the window. The idea was to clear the first building of the university for the ground team to start working in this place as a temporary base of operations.
"Be careful, take accurate shots!"
Seeing that there were walkers in the room where the first team entered, everyone could see that they were stationary targets that started moving in their direction when they heard glass breaking.
After hearing their captain's shout, the squad quickly spread out across the room and waited for everyone to enter the room to begin the cleanup.
"Now!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Squeezing the trigger of their semi-automatic rifles, bullets shot out of the muzzle of the rifle, under the serious gaze of the soldiers, they began to fire slow, muffled shots eliminating the walkers in this room with ease.
In an instant, the walkers who were attracted by the noise in this place began to slowly enter through the door and some soldiers lined up in front began to open the way forward.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Pressing the trigger hard, the faces of several soldiers covered with gas masks showed a fierce expression, and they did not let their guard down even if this task was too easy. When the soldiers eliminated all the walkers who had burst into the room, and then a group began to open the way forward and soon went out the door
"Opening right freehand, I need someone to cover the enemies melee!"
"Opening left freehand, requesting support!"
Turning rifle barrels in two different directions, the group split into two parts and began to move. This group of attack soldiers had been trained by Airon and learned first hand all the tactics that could be come up with in this new world.
Not clearly understanding how many soldiers and how they could have been killed by walkers around the world, they all now knew how to defend themselves and understood that walkers are easy to confront and detect danger, they are absolutely nothing in the face of the power of weapons.
"Bang! Bang!"
Bullets were directed at the walkers' heads at high speed and they fell to the ground with a thud. Although this place was large, with this group and the one above them that was completely clearing downwards it was easy to do so.
At the same time, the soldiers who cleared the way upstairs did not encounter many walkers so it was not difficult and they soon arrived towards the next floor. "Zz... First floor clear, not many walkers were encountered, they might be gathered in one place so be careful."
"Zz... Targets concentrating on the third floor stairs, we need reinforcements!"
Up to this point, all the soldiers began to move in duo to expand the clearing radar and solve this problem as soon as possible, but it was common to encounter large groups of walkers either in one room or in a large hallway.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
A burst of gunfire killed some walkers approaching ahead of the rapidly retreating duo of soldiers. Hearing the shouts of the soldiers not far away, there was quickly a series of footsteps on the ground before two more soldiers approached the duo and positioned themselves to open fire.
"I'm reloading!"
"Come on, we'll cover you!"
This hallway soon became littered with shells on the ground and further down the hall with dried up walker corpses, and the sound of fighting and gunfire could only be heard over the radio channel. The group of four soldiers ran into another hallway to the right as they all changed magazines, it was then that they realized they had no more magazines with ammunition, so they had to fill them up again.
In the distance, one more duo of soldiers approached the group of four who were waving at them and then one man said, "We have to hold from this point, quick guys, fill your magazines with ammo and get ready to hold off the walkers from this place."
"Understood, sir!"
They all obeyed Raúl Méndez who was leading the cleanup operation; he had vowed to take this university and its surroundings bravely for the future, so he could not let his men go alone without him participating with them.
"Here they come!"
Just as everyone was still filling their magazines with ammunition, the walkers began to approach the other rosillo and that's when everyone opened fire.
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Countless bullets were fired at the walkers and they quickly fell to the ground, but like things that do nothing but want to bite, none of them stopped and slowly advanced towards Raul's group.
"Let's keep moving forward and concentrate your shots on the heads!"
Seeing that the walkers were having difficulty moving forward, Raul did not want to stop and began to advance forward to eliminate this large group of enemies as quickly as possible.
After minutes of combat, reinforcements began to arrive and soon all the walkers were eliminated. Raul could not count them, but he was sure that at least five hundred walkers had been eliminated in this place.
Under everyone's terrified gaze, they smiled awkwardly and all wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads. This time it had been very dangerous, if those walkers had met them head on and they didn't have the ammunition to eliminate them, they didn't know if they would have been able to get out of this situation alive.
But their persistence paid off and they all began to move down with a little more peace of mind knowing that most of the walkers in this building had probably been eliminated.
Raul, who took off his gas mask, picked up a radio and reported on the general situation here: "Zz.... Ground team, air team have cleared the main building and are ready to go under special ops."
"Zz... Ground team here, ten minutes and we will be with you."
"Zz... Roger, that ground team, we'll be waiting for you ready to support you."
The progressive clearing of the building went very smoothly, everyone even though they faced walkers hand to hand it didn't prove to be a problem and everyone moved the walker corpses in this place.
Observing it in person now, Raúl knew that if the land was used easily, this space could later even house more than twenty thousand people.
There were large plots of land where the space could be used to plant crops, besides the good place to put solar panels, this place had the facility to protect it as long as the blind spots are protected and a barrier similar to the one that was built in the prison is established.
In no time, a large convoy of at least three hundred people arrived outside the university and began working on eliminating the walkers outside the university grounds.
All in all, this was an incredible place to open a third base while waiting for the right time to completely take over a city and not just a small piece of that big city. At the very least, the shelter in the city would serve to train the new soldiers of the S.C.T. community.
