The next morning, the group of now forty-nine people in the outpost, are woken up by the sounds of zombies that encircle the perimeter. A horde just came at them from the north-east direction, probably from a big city that hasn't been bombed in the first days. The military tried their best, but they were running out of ammo and had decided to retreat to the outpost. With twenty soldiers, this outpost has enough power to hold off a horde like this from invading their home again.
In this outpost, sixty-seven personnel able to fight, the horde of zombies has started to grow smaller and smaller with each shot from the highly destructive weapons they have. In this group of people, Shi Huang Squad have helped the group repel the attack in about ten to fifteen minutes, but they have also managed to kill three Class F zombies in that horde. This fight was hard, but thanks to the fighter's help, the whole horde has been taken down easily.
Twenty minutes later, a group of fighters leaves the perimeter to check the area of dead zombies, making sure all of them are dead. Now, they cannot make entire zombies into huge piles and burn them because there are about hundreds of zombies, plus burning hundreds of zombies requires gas they'll need for tomorrow's mission. Instead of doing all of this tiring work, they are going to check if the bodies are dead and alive.
The Shi Huang squad members are staying inside the outpost, where they are all cleaning the weapons and checking the stockpiles this outpost poses. While looking through the crates, they realize they are running short on the available ammunition for tomorrow.
"After today's attack it was obvious," says Yu Tong after she looked through the rifle ammunition crate.
"You are right." says Li Kay to Yu Tong after he finished inspecting the magazine of his weapons he used in this battle. "And what are we going to do tomorrow?"
"We'll do it with melee tactics," says Ahmed to Li Kay. "What other choice do we have?"
"There's got to be another way." says Li Kay to Ahmed.
"I think there is one." says Ri Ku to the squad, then he looks at his people with confidence. "Cars."
"What?"
"Cars. We can use cars in our favor."
"Explain please." says Xin Yan.
"First thing first, we'll need working cars. Second, we need loud music, really loud music and third but not least, explosives."
"I see." says Li Kay. "We create a booby trap for zombies?"
"Bingo." says Ri Ku to Li Kay.
"That may actually work," says Yu Tong. "But how do we get cars?"
"Look at our surroundings." says Ri Ku. "There are vehicles everywhere. All we need to do is find workable ones, if not, we take what is essential to us, and we're done. Like discs, sticks, batteries, everything we need for this plan to work."
"Doesn't this one sound a bit too much?" says Xin Yan. "Do you think our commanders would let us do this?"
"Go for it." says a fighter commander walking in the scene, who overheard everything. "I allow you."
"Thanks." says Ri Ku to the commander, then he looks at Xin Yan. "See, we got approval."
***
Two hours later, at a distance of three kilometers from the outpost, the squad of five fighters entered what appears to be an auto-repair shop where they saw a car inside a garage, and the group of fighters approached that car. Before Li Kay was about to open the door of the car, he sees inside the car a zombie who smashes his face into the window, looking dead at Li Kay, grasping and sizzling. The zombie is looking to be malnourished, with scars on his face and without teeth upon closer inspection. Li Kay also notices the windshield is broken.
"How did this get in here?" asks Li Kay.
"No idea." says Ri Ku. "But I am more worried about how he did not try to climb from the windshield."
Li Kay looks closer at the zombie who is leaning his face on the window, he notices that the zombie is wearing a seat-belt on the driver seat, which can show why the zombie did not try to escape from the car. But what about the teeth? The group however, doesn't question to, much about this, because Ri Ku pushes Li Kay back, opens the door and stabs the zombie with his knife, then he unbuttons the seat belt from the zombie and drag him down from the car to let Yu Tong inspect the car, like they did to many other ones an hour ago.
"Found something." says Yu Tong after she finished checking under the seat.
"What?" asks Ri Ku.
"Is a paper." says Yu Tong to Ri Ku, handing the paper to him.
"Say something good?" asks Li Kay to Ri Ku.
"Don't know," says Ri Ku, handing the piece of paper back to Yu Tong. "It's Thai. Anything else?"
"Only a gun." says Yu Tong. "But it looks jammed."
"It is jammed." says Ri Ku upon closer inspection of the gun, and throws it to the ground.
"We searched for an hour and barely found something." says Li Kay. "Just a USB stick."
"Keep looking." says Ri Ku leaving the garage with his group, he points at a house not far from them. "Let's check the house over there."
The whole group walks for a bit toward the house their squad leader has pointed out. The front of this house looks like a normal residential block from Thailand urban areas. The squad of five people are entering the block, inside they see five zombies who are standing up and staring at them. The first zombie moves toward the group, but he is quickly taken out like the other zombies with shoots from their guns.
The group of five people look back and see a few zombies from outside getting up, walking toward them with the intention to eat them. Ri Ku and Ahmed are quickly locking the doors of this place, then they are all walking upstairs to the rooftop. While running toward the rooftop, the group has to put down three zombies who were on their way with their back of the weapons rather than shooting in order to not attract too much attention.
Arriving at the rooftop, the group of five people are looking around, there they see a plank bridge that is connecting with the other block. The group doesn't question this because they see a zombie that crawls from a tent. Ri Ku puts the zombie down with his gun and his group continues to move. The whole group walks slowly on that improvised bridge, which holds everyone after they go one by one. When Yu Tong, who was the last person to cross this improvised bridge, manages to get on the other side, Ri Ku kicks the bridge down, falling tens of feet into the jammed streets.
"Now what?" asks Ahmed.
"We leave." says Ri Ku going toward the nearby door that gave them access to the building.
Ri Ku observed the door was locked, so he and his friends broke the door down by smashing their back side of the guns to destroy this door. After the door is destroyed, the group walks in silence down the stairs without encountering any zombies. The whole group of five walked for a good two minutes in this five story residential block, without hearing any zombie's hiss, growl, scream nor hearing anything strange. Arriving at the main door, the group notices the zombies from outside are entering the residential building they were in before.
"They think we are still there." says Ri Ku.
"We go on the other side?" asks Li Kay.
"Yeah." says Ri Ku, taking the lead to another exit.
This other exit consisted of breaking into an apartment, killing a zombie who was lying on the bed for God knows how long, then looking for a window, opening the window, and escaping through the window. When all five of them have escaped, they are checking their surroundings and spot something, a van, that is parked in the parking lot of this residential building.
"Nice." says Li Kay walking to the van, and approaches the door.
"Li!" says Ri Ku to Kay before he was about to open the door.
But it is too late, Li Kay opens the door of the vehicle and the alarm goes off. The remaining four members of the group groan and look disappointed at Li Kay, who couldn't wait a bit. But Li Kay is quickly getting on the driver seat and observes the key is in contact. But he also notices this vehicle has gas as he looks at the gauge.
"This van has gas!"
"We'll take it, then!" says Ri Ku to Li Kay.
"Here they come!" yells Xin Yan to the group as she spots nine zombies running toward the source of commotion.
The whole group of five people entered the van in a hurry. When they all got in there, the driver, who was Li Kay, drives the van, after he turned on the engine and put it on reverse, away from the parking lot, then he makes an 180 degrees rotation, puts it on forward, and drives forward to the outpost, while running over three zombies who were in his way. While driving, a big group of zombies goes after the van at a slow and fast pace. But it would be useless since the van is faster than they will ever be.
