"Zz... AA-2 Squadron, we are approaching towards the opening south of the military base, how long before you arrive?"
The walkers were slowly being lured by the helicopters towards the opening where they would be drawn away from the military base so as not to waste energy, cartridges and time taking care of them.
Everything was going wonderfully, there were no complications and most of the walkers were being moved away little by little. You could say that this idea of rounding up the walkers by low helicopter flight was brilliant, but today there were few who could do that.
"This is amazing, how could this idea pop into your head?"
It could be said that Morgan was very impressed by the things he has been seeing since he arrived at where Airon was, all that in what he participates in was rarely seen in the prison, now he regrets not using that method when the walker horde attacked for the second time.
"This is largely due to the skills of the pilots, one mistake and we would be ground meat, I take solace in the fact that we would feel no pain."
"Those words are bullshit."
Daryl averted his gaze to Airon, looked at him for a moment and said, "What the hell are we doing in this place? If it's for saving people we're putting ourselves too much at risk, have you forgotten the fucking cannibals we ran into recently?"
"No, I haven't forgotten, they're not about the people or some heroism bullshit, you know I'm doing it for the resources. At this military base we can find a lot of the things we'll need in the future, we shouldn't waste time if we can do it now."
Being criticized by Daryl, Airon was silent for a moment and then naturally said the meaning of this mission. After thinking about it again, Airon patted Daryl and said, "Don't worry, I'm sure I will be able to protect you."
"Then who will protect you?" In response, there was only one question that left Airon silent.
"I'm getting dizzy..."
Seeing that the two stopped talking, Morgan smiled slightly, looked at Elijah who was standing silently to the side and asked, "Elias, what do you think about what Daryl said?"
"Anything can happen really, we come to a place far away but if there really are pilots among the people we will save we will make a big difference later on..."
Hearing this, Airon nodded and said, "That's true, just like doctors, pilots of planes, helicopters and tanks are very hard to find nowadays. I thought it was the doctors before, but I've changed my mind. Once we get the walkers out of this base, we can see if it's worth the risk."
Morgan looked at Airon and stopped talking, and after some thought he had now understood the intentions of coming to this place despite the risks involved, but he didn't say it due to not wanting to add to what Daryl had already mentioned.
Besides, they still weren't safe in this place and talking about bad things that could happen wasn't the best thing of all for people's morale. As long as they acted together and were confident, the possibility of trouble greatly diminished.
Not that he agreed with Airon taking risks in every decision he made, but sometimes someone like him or visionary could change the pace of the future.
"Zz... AA-2 squadron approaching to close the base hole."
...
The operation took over half an hour to complete, after all, the walkers had to be driven to a location far away from the military base so that the walkers would not return and cause trouble.
In the words of Ian Dietrich, Captain General of the AA-1 squadron, all the soldiers had been brought under control without major problems and were separated from the civilians in order to have more control over the undermanned masses.
At the top of the military base, three Ch-47 helicopters slowly descended and landed not far from where the AA-1 squadron soldiers were eliminating walkers. It was indeed a good point to take out all the walkers, so those that remained were a miniscule amount of those that were there.
Dozens of men descended from the helicopters and began to eliminate all the remaining walkers without much trouble, so the way to the others was not long.
Airon at this moment felt a strange sensation, but decided not to pay attention to those insignificant things for now. But that strangeness on Airon's face was picked up by Elias who was next to him.
"Sir, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing major, just a series of somewhat intriguing thoughts..."
Elias raised the rifle in his hand and continued to shoot all the walkers in the distance that tried to climb over the wire fences, Airon turned his head to Elias and said, "Do you think I'm a bad leader?"
Elijah waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care at all about this trivial matter, raised his gun and shot a walker coming towards him down the path, and said to Airon, "Your decisions may endanger the lives of many people, but I'm sure we can't have a better leader than you."
Airon nodded silently, now that he thinks about it he has made many wrong decisions and where he thinks about it the most was when he took out the Governor's group, he knew he could have done better, but now that doesn't matter anymore.
"Notify squad AA-1, smart walkers are appearing right next to them, tell them to be careful."
Just as Elias was about to nod in response, a distress call came from the two different radio channels at the same time, "Walkers have appeared in area D1 and many appear to be the running kind, many have jumped the chain link fence. We are falling back, but we need backup right now."
As soon as he heard the call for help, Airon suddenly became alert and quickly looked to the side and sure enough, he saw that some soldiers were retreating in the distance, so he ran in that direction, and did not forget to order, "Take the abandoned Humvees, if you can ignite you know what to do. Everyone who can get to area D1, we need to completely eliminate these speed walkers."
"Take care of it Morgan!" Daryl said as he also ran after Airon and some other soldiers.
"This..."
Morgan looked at the back of Airon who was running forward in some amazement, he held the radio in his hand and sighed deeply, he knew it was now up to him to instruct the other people, so he started to think what to do.
He had led some people in the prison, he always spoke directly when he needed something to say and he took great care of the people who followed his orders, but now Morgan knows that these people are soldiers so it is different.
But there is no way for him to ignore this task that is necessary to do, so he had to leave those unnecessary thoughts, Morgan closed his eyes and shouted to the other soldiers who did not know what was going on, "What are you doing standing there? Move out immediately, squad AA-2 and AA-3 follow commander Airon. You will all serve as reinforcements in place D1, you can't let the runner class walkers escape."
"AA-4 squadron should be in charge of going after some other armored vehicles, if you don't know where the hell they are, ask the soldiers at this base. The other squadrons are close by to help, there may be attacks from other directions.
"You soldiers, follow me..."
Morgan ran all the way to area D1, the cold wind seemed to have no effect on him, his thick military boots stomped hard on the pavement, and the other soldiers also followed him.
Area D1 is not far from where he was now, and he arrived here in less than five minutes. In addition to the normal intelligent walkers, he also saw runner-class walkers with red eyes, and further back he saw the soldiers confronting them.
Running towards the direction of the gunfire, Airon saw what was ahead, five heavily armed AA-1 squad soldiers retreated while firing at dozens of runner-class walkers coming towards them at high speed.
They skillfully cooperated with each other, and these well-trained soldiers were able to retreat without much trouble and these runner-class walkers had not approached them, eliminating numerous walkers gradually.
One of the soldiers seemed to have noticed Airon's appearance, and when he saw his position, his face suddenly changed and he anxiously shouted to him, "Sir, be careful, there are many strange walkers in that warehouse, they all remain motionless."
"Whistle!"
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, a black, dry figure suddenly rushed out from the dark corner of a warehouse just down the path where those soldiers were retreating, he let out a piercing scream and that runner-class walker who had appeared beside him jumped towards the first figure in front of him.
"Bang!"
When the soldier saw the figure suddenly fly from his side, there was a bit of panic on his face and he made no move to avoid it. But a shot rang out next to him and the walker's head exploded in a mist of blood.
The soldier was not slow either, just a kick at the approaching walker, the walker's chest was dented by the strong kick in an instant, and he went flying backwards.
Looking at the walker lying lifeless on the ground, Airon's eyes shone with relief and he raised his weapon as he fired at those walkers slowly approaching his people.
"Roar!"
"Boom! Boom!"
"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!"
The bodies of many walkers violently collided with the ajar door of the warehouse one followed by another and alley heavily to the ground, climbing over each other.
"Fire!"
"Boom!"
Numerous walkers looked wild, like a rabid dog, and together with those red eyes they all ran towards Airon's group. But the marksmanship of all these people was extraordinary, after all they had been training for a long time at the training base and with the help of Morgan and the vehicles that approached towards this place, all the walker class runners were eliminated.
"Whoo..hoo..hoo.... What are those fucking things!"
Seeing that the crisis had passed, Airon leaned his right hand against an armored vehicle, breathing heavily. Some of the soldiers who were attacked by the walkers did not suffer injuries due to the suit, but some of their faces showed a bit of fear.
At the same time, those soldiers who came as support dealt with the walkers that ej the ground. A group of ten headed towards the corpses to secure those who are not shot in the head.
Airon picked up the radio and reported, "Zz.... Be careful, in the warehouses there could be walkers so be careful and don't act alone, they will move in full squads until we are sure we have cleared this place. Prioritize gathering food and ammo, you should have trucks of all types in this place, you can use anything."
