Zombie Apocalypse: Creation
Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Zombies from Foshan and Dongguan
When it finally got to the binocular range, all the soldiers lowered their weapons as the person on the motorcycle turned out to be a scouting soldier just reporting back to Luoping.
But as the motorcycle got closer and closer, Mingxu''s walkie-talkie suddenly received a transmission.
"Close the gate as soon as I come inside! I repeat, do not keep it open longer than ten seconds!"
Two of the sergeants instantly turned towards Mingxu for order as both the Major and Lieutenant Colonel were busy attending a meeting.
Without any hesitation, Mingxu decided to trust the person sending the transmission and ordered the soldier to follow through with the request.
As the motorcycle drove closer and closer to the wall, one of the soldiers with a thermal detector suddenly detached heat trails, running almost at the same speed as the motorcycle.
"Sir! Something invisible is chasing after the motorcycle!"
"Everyone hold fire! It''s too close! Is the gate ready?" Mingxu asked out loud as he rushed toward the gate entrance.
Seeing the two soldiers that controlled the gate entrance nodding, there was nothing anyone could do except pray for the scout on the motorcycle.
With a loud engine roaring at max power, the motorcycle finally makes it past the gate.
"Close the——"
Before Mingxu could finish talking, the gate was already slammed shut, and everyone let out a sigh of relief for the scout.
"Open fire now!" Mingxu yelled.
The soldiers instantly opened fire toward the gate entrance, leading to blood splattering everywhere.
"How the hell were there so many invisible mutant zombies?" Mingxu asked as he walked toward the scout, who was still panting for breath.
"I-I don''t know. I was just on a scouting mission at the highway between Foshan and Guangzhou, and just as I was about to report back after seeing the zombie horde heading towards here, I heard a bunch of footsteps heading toward me.
So, I instantly hopped on my motorcycle and drove back... Can you tell this to Mr.Yezi? I-I think I''m feeling a little lightheaded——"
The scout suddenly collapsed on top of the motorcycle before he could finish.
"Medic! Over here!"
A soldier with a medic badge instantly ran towards Mingxu, checked the scout pulses, and came up with a conclusion that calmed Mingxu back down.
"He just hasn''t slept for the past few days. Sleep bag around his eyes and having such an adrenaline pump from driving so fast caused him to pass out."
Mingxu quickly directed two soldiers to carry the scout to rest as he headed toward the command center himself.

In the command center...
Unless tank mutants show up, which can be dealt with by RPGs from the walls above, the soldiers can still retreat to the wall using underground tunnels in the worst-case scenario."
Hearing Wuli''s reasoning, most of the Majors nodded in agreement with her plan. But Lingang still felt something was off about it.
However, he couldn''t express his feelings, so all he could do was watch as the decision now went to Xiaoyun.
"You didn''t come up with this by yourself, didn''t you?" Xiaoyun questioned.
"I... I might have used a little bit of outside help... But I came up with the design and details."
Wuli shlyly looked down to the ground as she scratched her hair a little.
"Then you should at least give credit to them rather than just claiming it all to yourself... It was Shuli, wasn''t it?"
Wuli hesitated for a second but nodded in the end, as there was no point hiding it.
"Ahem, anyway, your plan is practical and much safer. However, there is still a slight flaw with this plan that you didn''t consider at all——"
"What is it?" Wuli asked urgently before Xiaoyun could finish.
"You didn''t consider how long this would take. Building a bunker system outside and the tunnels to connect to behind the wall would take almost half a month or longer.
We are facing a threat that needs an immediate solution. There is simply not enough time, considering the zombies could arrive at any time. Imagine a bunch of construction workers still hanging outside when the zombies come towards them.
Even if we scout the surroundings, a few will always sneak past, like the invisible ones we have faced before or even new ones. I wouldn''t be surprised if some zombie starts mutating wings."
Wuli slowly looked more and more down as the heavy criticism from Xiaoyun made her feel what Lingang felt earlier.
"Lieutenant Colonel Wuli, can you hear me?" Xiaoyun spoke out louder as Wuli seemed to lose focus completely.
"Yes, sir. I can hear you."
Wuli finally looked back up to Xiaoyun as her face recovered a little, albeit still a little downed.
"I need you to improve your plans. I can see them being implemented after these two zombie invasions are defeated."
Hearing the hint in Xiaoyun''s words, Wuli looked much happier as the possibility of her plan being implemented instantly woke her up.
"Yes, sir!" Wuli enthusiastically replied as Lingang grumpy crossed his arm in disappointment.
"Ahem, anyway. Since both of our Lieutenant Colonels currently in Luoping are unable to formulate a plan, I''ll show my plan——"
Suddenly, before Xiaoyun could finish, everyone could hear a loud knock on the door.
Both Tianci and Kate looked over to Xiaoyun, who gave the signal to open the door.
As soon as Tianci opened the door, Mingxu rushed inside and yelled.
"The zombies are here!"
