They had left Tong City to reach Shi City’s military base but they witnessed a scene of despair along the way, some soldiers coming from the base had been infected.
Chu Han’s words suddenly came to the mind of Ye Chen; at least 70% of the soldiers would be infected and turned into zombies.
What was happening at Shi City’s base? Did humans find the solution to live?
As Ye Chen was in a total loss, a roaring sound passed through the trembling ground. Ye Chen climbed on a tree and pulled out his telescope to observe what was happening; the bystanders also looked at the far place.
A neat row of tanks followed by well-equipped soldiers appeared in his sight.
It was the military!
"The army! It’s the army!" Ye Chen shouted excitedly.
Ye Chen and the surrounding people were so excited to the point of crying; Shi City’s military was still in an excellent condition!
There was still one team of excellent force in the military of Shi City.
"We are over here!"
"Look over here!"
Everyone was so excited that they wanted to dance. Many people hugged with tears on their faces; the threat of death was lingering upon their heads, they were almost suffocated from its pressure. Naturally, they were exhilarated after seeing the approaching army.
They were lots of soldiers, so wouldn’t they help the survivors?
Kuang Zhiran lying on a limo saw a young soldier approaching and making a standard military salute to Kuang Cheng, "Major General, there are lots of survivors ahead and zombie bodies scattered on the ground!"
Kuang Cheng did not raise his head. "Obliterate them."
The soldier was stupefied at first but then frowned. "Countless bodies are blocking our way, I am afraid-"
"ARE YOU DEAF!? I ordered you to obliterate them!" Kuang Cheng roared. He pointed at the young soldier’s ears with a hideous face, "If they’re blocking the way, have the tanks run them over! I’ve already found my son, so we should no longer stay here! I will kill you and feed you to the dogs if something goes wrong!"
"Sorry, Major General," The young soldier answered steadily. The sharpness his calm eyes exuded could not be ignored, "It is hard to obey."
He dared to disobey a direct order and turned back with a salute!
"F*ck you!" Kuang Cheng kicked the young soldier’s back, "Zhan Yiming, don’t think you can be rude following this old man! I am a Major General! How about you!? What is your rank?!"
Zhan Yiming’s back shook from the impact but he didn’t fall!
Then Kuang Cheng shouted at the speaker, "Run them over with the tanks!"
"A group of garbage! Garbage!" Kuang Cheng had turned red from anger and he kicked at Zhan Yiming fiercely again. The young soldier bit his teeth and said nothing although his chest was kicked so hard that it was hard to breathe.
Kuang Cheng had the capital to be arrogant. He was a Major General and there were just a few of Major Generals in Hua Xiao. At that moment, most of the people had been turned into zombies after the apocalypse’s escalation. The current Major General was equal to the Lieutenant General in civilized times. Kuang Cheng was still a Major General in the large military base so his power and connections were unthinkable!
His strong position in the messy world gave him a superior standing.
Looking at his weak son, Kuang Cheng wanted to kill everyone as in his eyes they were useless and garbage. His son was on the protection list but he was still harmed, even though he had arranged people to protect him. Unexpectedly, Kuang Zhiran appeared with a severed hand before his last forces departed; he could not bear it, so he swore to kill the ones that harmed his son, even the bystanders!
"Get out! Get out!" Kuang Cheng was infuriated.
‘Bang!’
Another kick landed on the young soldier’s body, but other than shaking, he straightened his back proudly again.
"Yes, Major General." Zhan Yiming suppressed the blood in his throat and answered with the most peaceful tone, then he took a stride.
"Bast*rd!" Looking at departing soldier’s shadow fiercely, Kuang Cheng shouted, "All of you are bast*rds. You can’t even complete the simplest task." Zhan Yiming’s back shook from pain but he endured the pain tightening his fist; his broad back became straight again.
On the road…
Ye Chen in the far place looked at the approaching tanks with excitement
"We are here!"
"It is so great! It is so great!"
However, as the survivors were celebrating, the soldiers received the Major General’s unreasonable order- ‘Run them over!’
‘Roar!’
A row of tall and huge tanks did not slow down and rushed to the previous holes.
Ye Chen’s long eyes behind the telescope constricted and the excitement was replaced by a cold light. He shouted at the survivors, "Retreat to both sides! Quick!"
Ye Chen’s roar was so sudden, simultaneously, the tanks accelerated.
"They will run us over!"
"Run!"
"Why?"
‘Why?’, that was the question everyone kept asking. Why couldn’t the soldiers see they were there, right in the middle of the road? They could stand on the road for them to see but the tanks would turn them into bloody paste! They were fellow humans, not zombies!
Several children, that had lost their families, couldn’t react since fear had taken over, standing at the center of the road. There were dozens of young children, including the ages of two, three, five year-olds respectively.
"Run! Run!" Ye Chen’s voice was trembling at the sudden turn of events.
It was a pity though; it was too late!
‘Crack-’
Blood splattered everywhere as their fragile bodies were run over by the tanks’ monstrous tracks and turned into a bloody mess. There was no feeling of humanity.
As Ye Chen witnessed the mess on the road, his mind went blank while his body quivered. His eyes were bloodshot as he watched the row of tanks flattening the road.
All life and human feeling were gone!
"F*ck you bast*rds!" Ye Chen despised everyone trying to stop him. He rushed over to the tank with a crazy roar while shooting his rifle.
They had even killed the children! Those guys were not human beings!
"Reporting!" It was the voice of a front-line soldier coming from the infuriated Kuang Cheng’s radio. "There are survivors ahead-"
"Obliterate them!!" Kuang Cheng roared suddenly while the soldier was still speaking, his voice sounding strange, "Run them over! If you disobey, you might as well shoot yourself! F*ck you bast*rd! You pieces of trash!"
The front-line soldiers looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
"Should we run them over?"
"Yes."
‘Crack’
More bodies were pulverized under the tanks’ tracks…
