The entire fallen defense line was filled with the sounds of gunfire and fierce fighting.
After three hours of brutal fighting, Zhao Wugang personally carried a Red Alliance flag and planted it on the roof of the tallest building in the defense area.
Suddenly, the soldiers in the entire defense zone cheered excitedly.
"We've recaptured the defensive zone!"
“We won!”
…
Shen Qiu pulled out the cold night that had been inserted into the corpse monster's body, stood there looking at the cheering people, and smiled sincerely.
At this time, Gu Yuan rode an armored vehicle into the defense area to retake it.
Looking at the tattered defense zone, he gave orders in a deep voice.
"Rebuild the defense line, clean up the battlefield, and gather up all the bodies of our comrades."
As Gu Yuan's order was issued, the excitement and smiles on the faces of the soldiers who were originally cheering faded away.
Soldiers in protective suits dispersed and began to clean up the battlefield and collect the bodies of their dead comrades.
I saw bodies being carried over one after another. Even though the soldiers present were exhausted, no one would drag the bodies of their comrades.
Some of their companions had been dismembered, leaving only a head, and the soldiers would come over holding the head.
The soldiers at the scene all had red eyes, and some soldiers couldn't hold back their tears.
As large numbers of corpses were collected, piles of corpses were piled up.
As Shen Qiu looked at the corpses piling up higher and higher, his mood became increasingly heavy.
Qin Shu, Zhao Wugang and others present were also unable to hold back their excitement and their eyes turned red.
Each of these piled up corpses was a comrade who had fought side by side with them.
Every face is incredibly vivid.
After a long time, the bodies of all the companions were collected.
Gu Bu personally led many officers to the corpse and broke free from Zhang Tang's support.
Qin Shu then handed over a bright red flag of the Red Alliance.
Gu Yuan took it and walked forward to cover the pile of corpses himself. Then he stepped back a few steps, stood straight, and saluted the pile of corpses.
Shen Qiu and others also raised their hands and saluted solemnly.
The entire scene was filled with silent silence, and misty drizzle fell on the faces of everyone present.
After a long time, Gu Yuan slowly put down his hand and said.
"Let's do it."
Then one soldier after another came with barrels of gasoline and poured them on the bodies.
“All of them need to be cremated?”
Shen Qiu talked to Yun Xiaoxi in a low voice.
"Well, the bodies of those who died at the hands of the zombies must be disposed of. Otherwise, these bodies may mutate and become crawling corpses or new sources of infection. Infection management is very strict now. You have seen it before. We all retreated to our own defense area, and the defense wall was not opened for us."
Yun Xiaoxi said to Shen Qiu.
"Well, it's the right thing to do."
Shen Qiu nodded.
Soon the gasoline was poured all over, and Director Gu took out a lighter, lit it, and threw it on!
Boom!
A raging flame burned.
Looking at the burning corpses, many of the onlookers could no longer hold back and began to sob.
Gu Yuan bowed deeply and said
“Have a safe trip!”
…
Half an hour later.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Gu Yuan turned around and spoke to Yun Xiaoxi and the others.
"This wave of zombies has been wiped out. The next wave won't gather so quickly. Leave this to Zhao Wugang and the others. Follow me back to the temporary command post."
"good."
Yun Xiaoxi and others responded.
So Shen Qiu followed Yun Xiaoxi and the others back into the RV.
The RV followed an armored vehicle and drove to a temporary camp built with tents at the rear.
Although this camp is very simple, it has one advantage: it is very convenient for transfer and retreat.
Gu Yuan led Yun Xiaoxi and others into the tent where he lived.
He sat down on the recliner, looking relieved, and then spoke.
"Thank you for coming all the way here to support me."
"It's not hard, this is what we should do."
Yun Xiaoxi shook her head.
"Hey, the entire District 8 is in chaos right now. The water inside is very deep. You must be extra careful here."
Gu Yuan instructed with concern.
"Uh-huh."
Shen Qiu and others nodded.
At this time, Gu Yuan's eyes fell on Shen Qiu and he greeted him.
"Shen Qiu, you are here too."
"Yes, nothing, just stopped by to help."
"Well that's good, but why aren't you wearing protective clothing?"
"Uh, it's too inconvenient to fight in that."
Shen Qiu replied somewhat awkwardly.
"How can we do this? It's easy to get infected. But what you said makes sense. It's really inconvenient to wear those bulky things! Let's put it this way. If you don't want to wear the protective suit, don't wear it. You still have to wear a mask."
"Well, I don't have that."
"It's okay. I'll give you one. Chen Wei, take him to my tent to pick one."
Gu Yuan said very generously.
"Thank you! Director Gu!"
Shen Qiu did not refuse. It was better to have something to wear than nothing to wear.
"Come on, I'll take you to pick one, you're in luck!"
Chen Wei said as he walked out of the tent with Shen Qiu.
Wait until Shen Qiu and Chen Wei leave.
Minister Gu spoke in a deep voice.
"Did you bring what I wanted?"
"I brought it, here!"
Li Yan then took out a confidential document and a small box and handed them to Minister Gu.
"Well, there is something I want to tell you."
Gu Yuan took it and said with a serious expression.
"Minister Gu, what happened?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked in confusion.
"I'll tell you the truth. The situation in District 8 is very bad right now, and there are undercurrents. No matter how much the Red Alliance helps, the situation has not improved at all, and it has even worsened! And the most important point is that from the moment the disaster broke out in District 8, the officials, officers, and City Lord Su Yuan here have all done their best to deal with it. I've seen their response strategies, and there are no problems. But even so, the disaster still expanded. Later, when a large amount of support came in, we all worked together. But the result is that the situation is getting worse day by day. We have tried everything, even abandoned everything that should be abandoned, but there is still no improvement."
Gu Yuan said to Yun Xiaoxi and others with a gloomy face.
"how so?"
When Aunt Hua and others heard what Gu Yuan said, their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Not only that, take the defense line I guard, for example. It has been attacked by zombies many times. And they attack wherever there is weakness. All these things point to one thing: something has gone wrong somewhere within our organization."
Gu Yuan's eyes flickered as he spoke sternly.
"This, Minister Gu, what do you mean?"
Li Yan asked, suppressing the shock in his heart.
"I don't trust anyone now, I only trust you three. I have an important task for you to do, and it's very dangerous!"
"You said, Gu Bu, no matter how dangerous it is, we will do our best."
Yun Xiaoxi and others expressed their opinions one after another.
