2 Outside The High Wall, Only a Black Muzzle Awaits

Translator: Zayn_

Outside the high walls of Kerry City.

Five hundred meters away, the stationed troops were waiting in formation.

After the destruction of Kerry City.

As the ruling government, the Sky Capital Alliance had used sonic weapons to stop the zombies from leaving the city, and quickly built high walls, successfully sealing the entire city.

These three years...

The high wall had stood tall.

However, today was the first day that an unexpected explosion occurred. No one knew what was going to come out.

The army instantly gathered from the surrounding and arrived at the scene.

Heavy tanks, assault helicopters, and all sorts of advanced weapons were stationed there.

There were also countless reporters at the back, holding up their cameras and filming the scene from a safe distance.

The entire world's attention was on this point.

The scene was completely silent.

Only the heavy and nervous breathing of countless people could be heard.

Strong winds blew.

Dark clouds covered the sky.

The atmosphere was tense.

Countless black muzzles were aimed at the gap that was about five meters deep.

Thousands of well-trained soldiers were lying on the ground with their guns in their hands, their eyes solemn.

Hundreds of reporters stood about two kilometers behind the army with their cameras raised high, waiting for the zombies to come out.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

No one spoke. Not even the sound of swallowing could be heard. The people's breathing was so soft that they could almost hear each other's heartbeats.

It had been three years, and no one could imagine how dangerous the city was right now!

The zombie crisis!

Blood infection, digestive infection, breathing infection!

There were five million people in the city.

They had all become the source of danger.

Once one was released from the hole...

It could destroy an entire city and even bring about the terrifying destruction of the world!

The government had wanted to drop a nuclear bomb in Kerry City to solve all problems.

However, it was rejected by the United Nations and the citizens.

At this moment.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the changes in Kerry City.

Millions, tens of millions, and even hundreds of millions of people were watching TV to witness this historic scene.

It was also at this moment.

This was the moment everyone was focused on!

A high-ranking officer standing at the back of the army raised his hand and raised four fingers.

He was counting down!

Once the countdown reached zero, the army would rush to the high wall and repair the hole in the wall in the shortest time possible.

They had to be fast. They were racing against time against the zombies!

The officer's face was cold.

At the same time, he retracted a finger!

The spectators were excited!

Finally, there was going to be some action!

The reporters desperately stretched their arms and raised their cameras as high as possible, afraid that they would miss a single scene!

The soldiers' mission was to repair the wall as fast as possible before the zombies got close to the wall or even broke through the blockade!

As for sending the army to suppress them...

Were they crazy?

No one knew how strong the zombies were. They only knew that they were highly infectious and destructive.

In the first year of the disaster, their attempts to suppress the zombies had failed. How could the military now take the risk of total annihilation and causing the end of the world?

No one dared to bet on it.

If they lost the bet, it would be the end of the world!

They had been standing in front of the gap in the high wall for dozens of minutes. If there were still no zombies, they would immediately take action!

"2!"

The officer retracted another finger!

"1!"

At this moment, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a single sound!

Sweat ran down their faces, but no one wiped it away.

Even the military helicopters in the sky were hovering in the air, not daring to move.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the same spot.

The atmosphere kept solidifying.

"Bang!"

Suddenly!

Another explosion came from the wall!

In an instant, smoke and dust rose in front of everyone! Even though they were wearing gas masks, they could not see anything clearly!

The flames were mixed with black smoke, and the stone and dust instantly blocked everyone's vision. For a moment, no one knew what was happening inside!

The army officer could only stare in the direction of the explosion. At the same time, he clenched the trigger of the gun in his hand to the bottom. Once there was any movement, the bullets would leave the barrel immediately!

...

"It exploded?!"

"F*ck, what happened? Zombie? Are they fighting? Who filmed the zombie?"

"Did the zombies come out? Has the army made their move?"

All the reporters were like sharks that had smelled blood, and they were all agitated.

A lot of people started to worry, and even more people wanted to see what was happening!

However, the army's orders stopped them.

Everyone could only stare at the smoke-filled hole, trying to find out what was going on inside!

The smoke filled the air and spread out.

Gradually.

People could vaguely see that in the big hole in the high wall...

There seemed to be a figure?

Many soldiers were staring straight ahead, their bodies stiff, waiting to shoot!

"Wait!"

The high-ranking officer immediately raised his right hand and looked forward, his pupils shrinking.

In the big hole.

The smoke slowly dispersed.

A man's figure appeared in front of everyone.

It was a young man!

The young man was holding a little girl's hand. The little girl's face was dirty, and her eyes were filled with fear. Her fingers were tugging at the young man's sleeves.

"It's... a human?"

The adjutant immediately shouted, "It's a human figure!"

The officer's curled up fingers instantly stopped!

In front of him...

The moment he gave the order, the soldiers would pull the trigger without hesitation and turn the siblings into mincemeat!

The young man stood at the gap and looked at the sun outside with a smile.

Dust covered his clothes, and his body was covered in blood. He was missing an arm under his right shoulder.

His face was full of bloody scars, his lips were almost rotten, his teeth were bleeding, and a few were missing.

Even so, he didn't dare to let go of the little girl's hand he was holding.

"Little sister ..."

"We've succeeded!"

Jiang Feng's body was filled with pain. He just wanted his sister to be able to breathe fresh air.

With his arms open, the young man welcomed the morning dew. His eyes calmly looked into the distance, at the darkness...

However, the young man's pupils suddenly shrank!

It was a sea of armed tanks, combat helicopters, and countless soldiers who were waiting in formation!

When he suddenly saw this scene, he became extremely stunned, and his expression froze!

At the same time.

He raised his hands to indicate that he did not have any weapons, and his sister followed her brother's example and raised her hands.

"We don't have any weapons!"

"We just want to live. Please help us!"

After he spoke, he still did not dare to make any move!

"Senior officer, this ..."

The adjutant looked hesitant. He looked at the young man walking out of the city. He had imagined that there would be dozens or hundreds of zombies coming out of the city, but he had never thought that he would see the figure of a young man.

Inside...

Were there still humans?

Someone was actually still alive!

"There are still living humans in Kerry City?!"

"It's been three years. Are the people inside still alive?"

"Impossible! I'm afraid they've mutated. Don't let them come over! Once we're infected, we're finished!"

"If they come over, we'll be dead!!"

"Virus! Virus! Quickly get back! Do not come out! Kerry City is more than enough!"

The crowd burst into a heated debate.

Facing zombies, they would be clamoring to get rid of him.

However, in the face of the humans of Kerry City, which had been reduced to a zombie city... they were also panicking and didn't want the two sides to come into contact!

Some people even thought, 'For this kind of person, death would be the best option.'

They were all afraid that they would be infected by the virus!

When a disaster came, there were indeed brave people, but there were also countless people who were so weak that they were not willing to take any risks and would decide the fate of others!

"They must be carrying pathogens."

The officer's voice was cold. He looked at the young man who walked out of the gap and his young sister who was holding his hand.

He raised his hand.

"Retreat!"

Only one word.

When these three words were said, the young man's pupils shrank.

"Big brother..."

The little girl's arm had started to hurt. Her body was not healthy to begin with, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she was so scared that she flinched.

'What to do?'

'What should I do?'

The young man stood rooted to the ground. He was unwilling to accept this. He had clearly escaped. The entire team had sacrificed themselves, and only the two of them had survived.

"Why should we retreat!"

He gritted his teeth and blood flowed out!

He wanted to take his sister to see the flowers and begonias, and go to the supermarkets.

Sleep in a warm bed and turn on the heating and air conditioning in the winter.

However, the 'beautiful world' outside only responded to them with coldness and ruthlessness!

Retreat?

"On what basis?"

The young man gritted his teeth so hard that blood was oozing out. He squeezed out his voice through his clenched teeth.

However, he was still met with the cold gazes of the soldiers and reporters.

He raised his gun!

Countless targets were aimed at the two of them!

When the soldiers heard Jiang Feng's question, the fingers on their triggers pulled even harder, and there was only one safety left.

They were about to open fire!

As long as Jiang Feng made any other move!

The commanding officer was still cold and only replied with one word, "Retreat!"

They were just carrying the pathogen, the virus!

Two virus carriers had escaped from the blockade of the high wall!

At the same time, the army stopped and waited for orders.

All the reporters and citizens were furious.

There were countless voices within the army!

"Shoot! Shoot! Our protective clothing may not be able to protect us from this virus. We lost a lot of troops during the suppression three years ago. We can't repeat the same mistake!"

"The commander and the political commissar gave different orders! The political commissar said to save them, and the commander asked us to kill them!"

"The United Nations is watching us! We can't just kill two people!"

"It's a matter of life and death! Why do you still care about orders? If they come over, we'll be dead! We'll become zombies, we'll mutate, we'll get respiratory infections, and we'll all die here!"

"F*ck him! Why did these two people come out? Why did he have to come out? Are you coming out to kill us?"

"We're not doctors and we don't have any treatment methods. We'll be infected too. We can't let them come here!!"

"They'll get us killed. Hurry up and make them scram!"

"Go back!"

The voices became even colder!
