Chapter 1651 - 918: Return to the Base!
Everything was proceeding methodically.
Over an hour later, Third Uncle and the extra staff, including Yu Lei, arrived at the northern part of Kun City, still at the same resort.
With nearly all fuel consumed, they needed to refuel here.
Seeing the location displayed on the electronic star marker, Third Uncle realized Li Yu and the others had reached the Lao Country area.
Everything was going according to their plan.
Two hours later, Lao Yi and the others with Dongfeng brought the vehicles loaded with supplies into the Jinmu area.
The sky turned dark.
After the heavy rain the day before yesterday, it had been clear skies, providing a good foundation for Li Yu and the others’ actions.
"Director Li, there are too many breaches in this wall. We can only block them with vehicles for now. That’s all we can do," Lao Yi pointed at the wall breach blocked by vehicles.
Li Yu glanced at the perimeter wall, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let’s leave it like this for now. Arrange for the extra staff to start transporting supplies from the Jinmu area. It’s getting dark, let Luo take the Outer City personnel on guard duty.
We don’t know if there are any zombies around here, so tell them to be careful and quiet during transportation."
"Alright, I’ll go make arrangements," Lao Yi received the command and turned to leave.
In the sky, only a strand of the setting sun shone, darkness quickly engulfing the light.
They still needed to go to Yue Country tomorrow, so today they had to hurry transporting things onto the vehicles, otherwise, they would waste another day here tomorrow.
The personnel going out for this mission had been wandering outside for nearly a month, somewhat tired both physically and mentally, missing the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Inside the area, lights were bright.
Vehicles kept coming and going, pulling up one by one from the building entrance, forming a long convoy.
These vehicles were filled with supplies, looking formidable.
It was fortunate they had found some usable vehicles on the Lao Country side, otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to transport Lao Country’s supplies.
As time passed, hundreds of zombies appeared outside the wall.
There was no rain now, so the zombies couldn’t pile up or climb over the wall or vehicles to get in.
Only at one wall breach, perhaps because the driver didn’t park properly, the gap between two vehicles was too large.
Which let the zombies break in.
"Zombies are in!" Luo, standing on a vehicle for guard duty, suddenly shouted.
He quickly jumped off the vehicle, pulling out a knife and rushing over.
At night, they tried to avoid using firearms. Though effective against zombies quickly, the loud gunshots could draw in more.
In an instant.
Over a dozen zombies squeezed through the gap.
At the center of the wall, people transported supplies up and down, further inside, were support personnel without weapons, moving boxes of items.
If these zombies charged past, catching them off guard, those transporting supplies would surely be bitten.
However, people were watching near the wall edge, their job was to prevent accidents, protecting those transporting supplies inside.
Qingyang, responsible for guard duty, reacted the fastest, wielding a sword.
Moved like a swift rabbit.
Tread, tread—
The sword swept across, directly chopping a zombie’s head off.
Sliced left again!
Stabbed a zombie’s chest, then flicked upward, the sharp blade cutting down most of its body.
Under Qingyang’s timely counterattack, not a single zombie could reach inside.
Others also reacted, quickly moving to intercept the zombies.
Slash!
Li Tie, near this gap, pulled out a dagger, piercing a zombie’s skull.
Meanwhile.
Twenty plus people ran over from the center for support.
After all, the gap was small, only allowing one zombie in at a time.
So after Luo’s discovery, only over a dozen zombies managed to enter.
They quickly got the situation under control.
On the other side, Yang Tianlong drove a truck loaded with supplies over.
"Clear the way!"
Seeing Yang Tianlong driving over, Li Tie quickly shouted to the others intercepting the zombies.
Everyone scattered.
Thump!
The truck crushed through, Yang Tianlong reversing, blocking the gap with vehicles and hitting several zombies, the heavy supply-laden truck tires pancake-flattened them.
Bang!
Yang Tianlong successfully blocked the gap with the truck.
Li Tie and Luo dealt with the remaining few zombies in the area.
As the vehicle engine died, Yang Tianlong got out, quiet returning, only zombie roar echoing outside the wall.
Li Yu heard the commotion, coming out from the building.
"What happened?"
Luo replied a bit ashamed, "At the wall breach, the gap between two vehicles was too wide, letting a few zombies squeeze in.
I’ll go check and ensure it won’t happen again."
Li Yu had constantly stressed the necessity of inspections while stationed outside.
Upon hearing this, his expression slightly darkened, saying, "Hmm, hurry up and check, I hope this won’t happen again!"
Seeing Li Yu’s displeasure, Luo felt flustered.
However, he didn’t hear Li Yu blaming him, swiftly nodding and said, "This was my mistake, I’ll check immediately."
