"Rear troops, stop shelling, there are a large number of civilians in the residential area!"

"Repeat! Stop the shelling! Stop the shelling!"

On the outskirts of City C, Captain Wu of the task force was standing on a tall building, shouting desperately with a radio in his hand.

"Boom boom boom!"

As Captain Wu shouted, countless mortar shells streaked across the blue sky and fell into the buildings in front of him, making continuous explosions.

A large number of low-rise residential buildings collapsed under the bombardment of artillery fire, crushing the zombies and survivors inside into meat paste.

The zombies on the ground in the residential area were blown to pieces, with their limbs and arms flying all over the sky.

"Fuck! (a plant)"

Captain Wu cursed angrily and threw the radio to the ground.

After the shelling stopped, hundreds of fully armed soldiers began to advance alternately towards the bombing area under the cover of armored vehicles.

The zombies that survived the previous bombardment, after hearing the noise on the ground, did not rush up to die as everyone expected, but turned around and hid in nearby residential buildings.

A middle-aged officer took out a telescope, took a look at the situation ahead, frowned and said to the messenger next to him, "Everyone, fight quickly and clean up the battlefield quickly before being surrounded by zombies."

"Roger that!"

Captain Wu, who had just been lowered from a high building, rushed to the middle-aged officer, grabbed his collar and shouted, "Captain Zhang, didn't you hear what I just said? Why did you fire? Why?"

Although Captain Zhang's position is higher than Captain Wu's, the task force reports directly to the base commander and they have no jurisdictional relationship, so Captain Wu does not care about Captain Zhang.

Captain Zhang knocked Captain Wu's hand away and said coldly, "If I don't fire, do I have to risk the lives of my soldiers to fight the zombies?"

Captain Wu shouted angrily, "But there are still many survivors in there! They are all innocent citizens of Blue Star! They are our compatriots!"

Captain Zhang patted the non-existent dust on his collar and said indifferently, "Casualties are inevitable in war. If they want to blame someone, they can only blame their bad luck. It has nothing to do with me."

"Besides, they will die sooner or later. If they die now, they can avoid more pain in the future. Isn't that great?"

"you!"

Captain Wu's face turned red with anger.

"I will definitely report your shelling of civilians today to the base commander and the United Council!"

Captain Zhang said indifferently, "It's all up to you."

Captain Wu glared at Captain Zhang and left the scene with his men.

Captain Zhang sneered as he watched Captain Wu and the others leave.

"Naive, stupid, idealistic."

"If all of us are killed, will the base commander still be the base commander?"

In fact, he and Captain Wu are both direct subordinates of the base commander, so they can cooperate in combat.

However, Captain Zhang really couldn't agree with Captain Wu's idea.

At this moment, what's the harm in sacrificing some civilians in order to achieve the goal?

If all these soldiers were killed, who would protect the more than two million civilians in the base?

What's more, the coalition government is now showing signs of falling apart.

If the base commander loses his army, the base will inevitably fall into the hands of those people.

If that really happens, everyone in the base will be in danger and their life will be worse than death.

Under the command of Captain Zhang, the soldiers covered each other and entered the residential area.

From time to time, zombies jumped out from various corners and even rooftops to launch attacks, but they were quickly shot and killed by the soldiers who were defending tightly and reacting quickly.

They seemed to have guessed long ago where the zombies might be hiding and how they would attack.

These are all lessons learned through blood, and the experience gained from training to deal with situations. The price paid is that of the 1500 soldiers under Captain Zhang, only less than 800 are left.

Some soldiers holding bags quickly entered various streets under the protection of their comrades and began to search for crystal cores using energy detectors.

The other soldiers were on guard and defending while shooting the zombies that were not yet dead on the ground.

In a dilapidated and collapsed residential building, a mother covered in blood desperately protected her young daughter under her body.

But the collapsed floor on her back was too heavy, so heavy that she couldn't create enough space for her daughter to live.

Blood kept flowing out from the corners of her mouth, dripping onto her daughter who had already lost her breath.

"what!"

The woman let out a hysterical scream, her eyes fixed on the soldiers not far away.

why?

Why on earth?

They managed to survive the zombies, but were ultimately killed by the soldiers who were supposed to protect them.

She was puzzled!

She is unwilling!

She hates!

But there was nothing she could do.

A soldier heard the woman's scream and subconsciously looked in her direction.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go over to save her, his comrade beside him suddenly raised his gun, aimed at the woman and pulled the trigger.

The bullet shot into the woman's forehead from the muzzle of the gun, ending her tragic life.

"Let's go, stop looking. We can't help her, we can only give her a quick death."

The soldier who wanted to save people opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. In the end, he remained silent and followed his comrades.

The same thing is happening constantly in the bombing area.

For these soldiers on the front line, giving the survivors a bullet and letting them die quickly without turning into zombies after death is the limit of what they can do.

In today's devastated world, people are dying every day and the soldiers have long been numb.

No one will exchange their own life for the lives of stranger survivors.

Because those selfless and selfless people have already died in this disaster.

And even if they wanted to sacrifice themselves, their superiors and the coalition government would not allow it, because the life of a soldier is far more important than the life of a survivor.

Maybe, it is not them who are distorted, but this terrible world.

In a pile of zombie wreckage somewhere, several soldiers responsible for picking up crystal cores were chatting casually.

"Team Ma, have you heard? It is said that after this batch of strengthening potions is manufactured, they will be provided to us first."

"Isn't that normal? We are the frontline troops after all."

"Speaking of which, this is all thanks to Dr. Chen. Without her, there would be no strengthening potion."

"Dr. Chen... What a pity..."

"Ma Dui, what do you mean?"

"Dr. Chen is now under house arrest at the base. He is not allowed to go out or see anyone. It's really disheartening to talk about it."

"Just because of her zombie girlfriend? That's not possible, right? If Dr. Chen really betrayed humanity, why would he take out the strengthening potion?"

"Who says it's not true? We can all understand such a simple thing. How can the top management be so confused? If you ask me, there is a lot of water here."

"Alright, stop talking. If someone else hears us, they will report us for sympathizing with and colluding with zombies, and we will all be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, the other soldiers immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking, focusing on picking up the crystal cores.

With the help of energy detectors, the soldiers quickly cleared a large area of ​​the bombing area.

Just as they were about to reach the edge of the bombing zone, Captain Zhang suddenly gave an order, and all the soldiers stopped and turned around to leave without any reluctance.

The zombies who were hiding outside the bombing area, preparing to launch an attack as soon as they got close, were all dumbfounded.

A small number of zombies couldn't help but chase out from their hiding places, but were instantly torn to pieces by the soldiers' bullets.

Captain Zhang took a look at the zombies' actions through the telescope, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, although the mutant zombies are intelligent, there are not many of them."
