Chapter 17: The Deadly Face

"Zhao Di Zhou, I asked you to investigate the surrounding situation this morning. Please tell me first." The meeting started and Li Fei needed to understand the situation first.

 "Yes, Captain. While we were eliminating the zombies for the past few days, the sound of constant gunfire was attracting all the zombies and mutated animals that might come here.

We killed all the zombies outside yesterday, which means that the main roads inside the community are now safe, without a single zombie, and are not blocked.

We shouted outside the community squares to understand the situation, and the information we have obtained so far is as follows:

1. There are some survivors in each square, most of them have run out of food, and no one can leave the community at present;

2. Small groups have spontaneously appeared in Squares 2, 11, 13, and 19, with the number of participants ranging from a few people to over twenty people;

3. The Songjiang Military Region of the Central Army has gathered all the remaining troops in the surrounding areas into a military camp located about 90 kilometers south of the city. Originally, there were at least 200,000 soldiers stationed in Songjiang County and the surrounding areas. It is estimated that there are at least 20,000 survivors. They are well-trained and well-armed. They are currently the largest force around Songjiang County. They set up a shelter ten days ago. As for how many survivors they have absorbed, it is unclear.

4. There is also a larger force in the urban area, consisting of officials from the city defense army, the security team, police stations, and government offices. The number of people is also more than 10,000, but they are not concentrated together, but rather spread out in 5 places. In the early days of the apocalypse, the Central Army sent helicopter formations to drop combat supplies and weapons to them several times, which is why they were able to gain a foothold so quickly, but I heard that they have stopped airdropping in recent days.

These are the things we have observed so far." Zhao Di Zhou told Zhu all the information he had obtained from the investigation.

"How did you find out about the Central Army and the city?"

"There is a survivor in courtyard No. 3. He used to work in a government office and is a fan of the apocalypse. Before the end of the world, he always imagined that the end of the world would come one day, so he stored a lot of supplies at home and even bought a small generator. Because of this, his wife quarreled with him a lot, saying that he was crazy, and finally divorced him. Unexpectedly, the end of the world really came, and now he doesn't worry about food and drink. He got all this news from his colleagues in the government office."

Well, if that's the case, the following points can be explained:

1. The strength in urban areas is limited, at least before that, they couldn't get enough supplies and needed the help of the central army.

2. There might be two reasons why the central army no longer airdrops aid: the first is that the government office has successfully solved the problem of shortage of materials; the second is that the central army is no longer willing to provide them with supplies.

3. Neither the Central Army nor the government have the ability to rescue survivors on a large scale, or have not done so yet.

4. In addition to the Central Army and the Government Office, there must be other large and small groups that have appeared, and their number is definitely not small, but their strength is definitely much lower than the first two groups." Chu Yong, the instructor of the First Battalion, said.

Li Fei also agreed with Chu Yong's words and said: "Whether it's the Government Office or the Central Army, they are stronger than us, and we can't contact them at the moment. But we also have to find a suitable place to rush in and re-establish the base. Do you know the surrounding terrain? Is there any place suitable for our long-term development?"

"Is there a place that might be suitable?" Zhao Di Zhu said.

"Where?"

"This morning I heard from a survivor in our hospital that there is a logistics area that was built three years ago 80 kilometers north of the city. There are many warehouses built around it, and many companies in Songjiang store their supplies there. Another 30 kilometers north of the logistics area is Songshan, where there are mines. Please let the team leader make the decision."

After listening to Zhao Di Zhu's description, Li Fei thought it was a good place.

"After the meeting, bring this person here. I want to know more about him.

Everyone, I have decided to leave this place tomorrow evening. Before leaving, I have to clear the community of zombies and I need to collect some supplies.

Jerry, you are in charge of formulating the battle plan and you must ensure the safety of the brothers and achieve zero casualties."

"Yes, captain. May I ask you what we will do with the survivors? Should we take them all or leave them to fend for themselves?"

"The principle of volunteering, the old rules. I will make arrangements for those who want to go together, but they must obey my orders. "I don't care about those who don't want to." Li Fei also figured it out. Future development will require a lot of manpower. He just needs to bring these people in and give them a stutter. He will still have to rely on them to work in the future.

"By the way, Captain, there's something else. It's about the small group in our community." Zhao Di Zhou said again.

"What is this?"

"It's a team from the 13th Square. I heard that they eat human flesh." Zhao Di Zhou looked indignant.

After hearing this, everyone was shocked at first, then became angry.

"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Li Fei's face was gloomy. Although it was the end of the world, supplies were scarce and there were no legal restrictions. But Li Fei still couldn't bear to eat human flesh.

 "According to the survivors of No. 13 Square, this group called itself the "Tianlong Gang". The group numbered more than 20 people, the largest group among the many groups. The leader of the group was Feng Tianlong, a contractor, and all the members of the "Tianlong Gang" were his workers.

Originally, Feng Tianlong rented several houses in No. 13 Square, where he and the workers lived. There was heavy rain before the apocalypse and they couldn't work, so they all stayed in the residence and didn't go out. In return, they survived the disaster and survived.

These 20+ people are considered a great force. After the official announcement of the weaknesses of zombies and the methods of killing them, Feng Tianlong and others, who had run out of food, came out of their homes to kill zombies.

These guys do physical work all day long, so they are strong and healthy. They have a lot of tools in their hands, so killing zombies is not difficult for them. After the initial panic Losing many lives, we were gradually able to find a way.

At first, they just wanted to find some food to fill their stomachs. But when they met a survivor, one of the workers saw that she was a young woman. Suddenly, the worker, who had not been near a woman for half a year, had evil thoughts that he could not stop and they swelled endlessly, and finally extended his evil claws.

When others saw this, not only did no one try to stop him, but many of them joined in, eventually torturing the woman to death.

From that moment on, this group of humans gradually began to lose their humanity. First, they looted all the supplies in the entire building and then raped all the women. After they had eaten all the food, they actually started eating the corpses and cooking the meat. Finally, they attacked the male survivors.

There was a man who was afraid of being killed, so he took advantage of the darkness and risked his life to escape to his friend's house in the neighboring building despite his weak body, thus surviving the disaster. These are the things he told us."

Li Fei's face was filled with murderous intent. "It's horrific. They are heartless and inhumane. Jerry, get on the line and clean up Yard No. 13 first. "I will skin these beasts alive."

The battalion commander complied with the order, but in truth he was also filled with killing intent. Even mercenaries who lived on the edge of a knife wouldn't do something like this.

Everyone present was filled with killing intent.

"What's the situation with the other groups? Tell us about them and see if they have committed any evil deeds. If so, we can deal with them all together," Lee continued to ask.
