Chapter 47 The Military Decision

Harry didn't expect Lily to understand him immediately. Instead of continuing to persuade her, he left the shop and left the room for Lily to think.

On the street, James had come with Park and others.

"There are still a lot of guns and bullets in the shop. It's a pity if we don't take them away. Let's take everything away!"

"Okay!"

Everyone cheered and immediately acted.

In the apocalypse, the order was broken. There were monsters everywhere that could eat people. Only with strong firepower could one protect himself.

Although Harry's cars could protect them, it was not strong enough to ensure their safety. As the team grew bigger and bigger, they would need more guns. This black gun shop was undoubtedly a life-saving straw.

James was proficient in guns. He knew more about hot weapons were than his girlfriend. He pulled the bolt of the gun with an M16 and smiled.

"What a pity! Although there are many guns here, there are only a few of this kind. The rest are lead guns. If all of them are real guns, we can build a powerful troop!"

His casual words reminded Harry. Looking at the simulated guns on the ground, he had a bold idea.

At the same time, the isolation belt was set up on all the main roads of the city. A large number of troops were stationed on the main roads and the side roads.

They used scrapped vehicles to build a high wall to isolate the whole city.

Besides the isolation belt, a group of armed soldiers was guarding the area, aiming at the zombies that rushed out of the city.

Behind them, the heavy firepower troops were ready. The tanks and armors cars were neatly arranged, and the soldiers were all in position, ready to fight at any time.

Cannon troop was stationed in the camp, with their cannons aiming at the city. Once there were zombies, they could immediately fire.

In the sky, several helicopters kept circling, constantly sending the news of the zombies.

All survivors who escaped from the city had to undergo a strict review. After confirming that they did not carry the virus, the army would escort them to the safe camp.

It was not as easy as the broadcast had said before.

In the camp of the command center of the isolation team, Mark, the tall and burly General Commander, listened to his subordinate's report with a serious expression.

"Two days ago, an explosion happened on the downtown street. A kilometer around the city center was exploded into ruins. Fortunately, according to the data from the satellite surveillance, there were no people in the exploded area."

A tall female soldier said loudly.

While listening to the report, Mark looked through the images sent by satellite.

At present, the city center had turned into a huge crater, surrounded by broken limbs of zombies. The most conspicuous ones were several mutated zombies.

"It's so strange! When the zombie virus broke out, people's first reaction should be to avoid a dense crowd. According to the information before, there were only a few zombies in the city center. How could now so many zombies be killed by an explosion?"

Mark asked in confusion.

The woman nodded and said, "And it's just an oil tank, and the affected area is not wide. Such a large number of zombies shouldn't have been affected, but they seemed to be deliberately gathered around the oil tank, waiting to be exploded. Boss, look!"

She turned on the screen and showed her findings to the leaders present.

Burnt corpses surrounded the oil tank. The further away the zombies were from the tank, the fewer corpses there were.

"Unfortunately, after the zombie virus broke out, all the surveillance facilities in the city were broken, and we can only get less and less information. When the oil tank car exploded, the surveillance video in the city center was completely broken. We can only see some clues from the satellite photos."

Mark turned to look at the other leaders.

"What do you think?"

A middle-aged captain stood up and said, "Boss, is the explosion caused by zombies? According to our previous experience, we knew that zombies are constantly eating to obtain evolution energy. The evolved zombies can even guide the ordinary ones."

Another colonel soldier immediately raised an objection, "I don't think so! After the evolution, the intelligence of the mutated zombies will gradually increase. According to the body integrity of some dead zombies, they evolved very well. Although they are not smarter than us, they won't kill themselves. Moreover, there should be more than 4,000 zombies in total. These mutated zombies can't command so many zombies!"

"Or did they find some people and accidentally ignited the leaking oil tank when they chased all the way to the downtown?"

The colonel was stunned. "Your words remind me that maybe the explosion was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose."

"You mean the survivors?" The captain agreed with the colonel.

After all, he had seen the mutated zombies before, but he had never seen them play with fire and ignite an oil tank car.

If the mutated zombies could cause the oil tank to explode, it would be terrifying.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Mark clapped his hands and interrupted their discussion.

"The explosion is very powerful this time. The sound of the explosion has alarmed the zombies of the whole city so that they all gathered in the city center. In recent days, it is the most critical period. Everyone must be careful. We can't let zombies break our defense!"

All the officers stood up and saluted Mark.

Mark's expression was serious, and his tone was also serious. "The leaders have given instructions that even if we blow up the whole city, we must destroy all the zombies here!"

The expressions of the soldiers changed and showed regret.

As soldiers, how pathetic it was to blow up their cities? However, as soldiers, it was their duty to obey orders. Although they were sad, they didn't hesitate.

"Yes, sir!"

After receiving the order, they packed their belongings and quickly walked out, preparing for the battle.

The meeting room soon became quiet.

Mark sighed and leaned against the chair wearily.

This city was his hometown, but he gave the order to blow up his hometown. The pressure on his shoulder was greater than anyone else.

"Boss, are you okay?" The female soldier walked up to him and asked with concern.

Mark shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't worry. I can handle it. By the way, Amy, I heard that besides this explosion, a series of strange things happened in the city?"

"Yes!" Amy nodded, "Since five days ago, our army has found many corpses of zombies in the city. They all died from heavy firepower. I have a feeling that a group of people had killed them and made the explosion!"
