This was one of the most brutal fights that have ever happened to Japan, where more than thirty thousand zombies were killed in just about an hour by a group of sixty fighters from a brigade called "Fishes of Salvation." There have been casualties in the brigade, but it was a price worth paying because this entire swarm was destroyed in an hour of intense fighting. Dog robots were damaged because of the zombies who managed to jump on them to take a bite of the metal. Sentry turrets were jammed from the overheating. Howitzer had run out of ammunition after it used the entire stockpile, which consisted of only ten rockets, which were all used to the buildings to make them fall to bury the swarm of zombies. Thirty thousand zombies were estimated to be killed, but there were more who were buried underneath the debris.
"We did it!" says Ri Ku to his fighters after one of the two snipers kills the last zombie to walk on the view. We did it!" he says, breathing heavily and looking at his squad with a smile that cannot be seen because of his mask.
"We did it," says Ahmed, sounding happy.
"We did it," says Yu Tong to the group.
Shi Huang's squad is looking at the piles of the dead on the streets, and they are all looking in shock at the immense pile of zombies they've never seen before. The fighters are looking around and see the other fighters from other groups celebrating their victory. Still, this celebration is cut short because one of the helicopters is flying lower, activates its speaker, and says.
"Another horde is approaching!" says the voice on the speakers from the helicopter. "This time, it is coming from the south rather than the west! It is almost as big as the other one!"
"Hear it, guys?!" says Ri Ku to his squad.
"Again?" says Li Kay. "At least give us a break."
"We'll take a break later!" says Ri Ku, picking up his assault rifle. "We have to get back to our positions and keep killing this son of bitches!"
"Alright!" says Yu Tong to Ri Ku. "What do we do?"
"They'll be coming from the south. I want all of you to go and see what you can do to repair the sentry turrets, install mines, see if you can refill the ammunition on the sentry turrets, and do anything that can help us in the following fight. Then, when the zombies approach. I want all of you to be back here and shoot any zombie that comes near us. Understand?"
"Yes, sir!" says the fighters.
Soon, the Shi Huang Squad gets to business and looks around to see what they can do to reinforce their defense of the outspot. There's a lot to be done in this short time until the horde of the zombies arrives.

A second wave of zombies approaches the outpost. It has around eight thousand zombies this time, a smaller number than hours ago. This horde has more regular and fewer Class F zombies than the last one. When the zombies approached the perimeter, they were immediately caught in the bullet fire from the Mall, controlled by the brigade named "Fishes of Salvation."
Yu Tong has finished refilling the ammunition of a turret, and before she was about to regroup, she sees three zombies running to her, before she was about to take out her gun, the sentry turret detects zombies and proceeds to fire a lot of bullets to the three zombies who fell on the ground. They were shot, but not in the head. Yu Tong quickly takes out her gun and shoots the zombies to make them completely dead.
"Good turret," says Yu Tong to the turret, which detects more running zombies and continues to shoot.
Yu leaves the post and returns to the outpost, where Ri Ku waits for her and the other three fighters, Ahmed, Li Kay, and Xin Yan. Yu Tong sees how a fighter uses an ax to decapitate a crawler zombie who manages to avoid the detection of sentry guns. The fighter makes a clean cut that decapitates the head of the thing out of his humanoid body, all covered in bites, scars, and stab wounds. The fighter sees Yu Tong in her arms; then, he runs to the safety zone like her.
Meanwhile, Ahmed and Li Kay finished reloading the drones with bullets. They reloaded only six drones, which was enough because the other twenty still had enough ammunition for this fight. If they ran out of ammo, they were programmed to head to the nearest group of zombies and explode upon impact. This is like a kamikaze drone once used in the Ukraine and Russia wars, but less explosive.
"Here they come!" Ahmed says to Li Kay, pointing at the second wave of zombies approaching their perimeter.
"We have to go!" says Li Kay, running ahead to the zone where Ri Ku instructed them to be.
The fighters are running to safety, leaving the six drones to use their ammunition and zombie detection to kill the upcoming wave. They don't kill many zombies with their bullets, but it is enough to weaken the strength of this zombie horde and give time for the fighters to regroup in a safe area. These drones are not programmed to aim at the head, which is why many zombies are hit in the stomach, upper body, arms, and legs. The two fighters couldn't even try to throw a smoke grenade because this would interfere with the drones and make them miss the targets that were hiding in the smoked Xin Yn; it al; it helped the fighters on the Howitzeo move the cannon in the direction where the zombies are approaching. When this was done, Xin Yan was about to leave, but one of the fighters asked her if she could help install the mortars, and Xin Yan agreed.
"Great. The mortars are in a red car. I took three from the ship while my squad prepared the defense. Take them and place them…" He looks around and points fifty meters away from them. Put one there. And tell other fighters to place the remaining two about one hundred feet apart."
"And ammunition?" asks Xin Yan.
"There are also a few of those in the car." He looks at the approaching wave of zombies and says, "Go, please."
"Alright," says Xin Yan, running to the red car to remove the mortar and ammunition.
Xin Yan arrives at the red car, where she takes out a mortar. Before she could take the ammunition, another comes over and takes the mortar shells, that someone is Yu Tong. She tells Xin Yan she'll help over, and the others will help her deliver the mortars to the locations needed. Her teammates came and took the mortars and the mortar shell, and Xinin Yan told her where the mortar must be placed.
Soon, the whole squad places the mortars, aims them at the hordes of zombies, places the mortar rounds, and launches into the horde of zombies without any hesitation. Once a mortar shell landed on a horde, they saw dozens of zombie bodies flying over and landing on the street, mutilated and burned to a crisp. This whole task took about four minutes, which helped estimate the zombie horde faster than the previous one.
