End of the World

"Platoon leader, there is a hole here. Hua Wenzhong must have been captured from here!" A soldier discovered a gap somewhere in the ventilation duct above his head.

"Retreat!" The enemy is in the dark while I am in the light. Gong Shusen looked at the direction of the ventilation duct. It basically extended along the corridor and did not lead into the sealed chamber. This meant that the enemy was always above their heads.

After recounting the number of people, fortunately the number was no longer reduced. The soldiers had their bullets loaded and would open fire at the slightest abnormality to ensure that the enemy was eliminated at the lowest cost.

Gong Shusen was about to lead his men to look for Guo Chang when the soldier walking in front was suddenly attacked from above. Two of them were pierced through the chest by the long tongue. Warm blood spilled on the adjacent soldiers. The two men only felt severe pain in their chests and were dragged onto the ventilation duct by the long tongue while losing consciousness.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

The moment the two were attacked, the other fighters took a few tenths of a second to react and fired at the gap in the ventilation duct. The ventilation duct was made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel and was not bulletproof at all, so the bullets penetrated the metal wall and hit the monster hidden inside.

The soldiers opened fire one after another, concentrating their firepower. The zombies among them could not withstand it at all and were shot into sieves. This section of the ventilation duct was also riddled with holes.

Even so, the other one was able to escape, but it was severely damaged and became much less of a threat.

"Medical soldiers, check them, and get the zombies down from the ventilation duct!" Although Gong Shusen knew that the two soldiers could not be rescued, he felt very uncomfortable and held his breath.

"Platoon leader, they..."

"I understand. Keep their nameplates and take them back to the shelter."

The medical soldier silently put away the nameplates of the two people, the other soldiers took off their hats, and two more comrades left them, while they were still training together yesterday.

The soldiers brought the zombie down from the ventilation duct, but it was not completely dead. Gong Shusen stepped on its head, pulled out his pistol, and killed it directly.

"This is a night zombie, everyone has seen it!" Gong Shusen turned around, but his foot was still on it.

The soldiers looked at the dark red corpse and nodded. Night zombies are mutated zombies that specialize in night activities and are very fast. This narrow passage is their home ground. If they are in an open area, their threat will not be so great. Of course, this is only relative to the daytime. At night, they are everywhere.

"Platoon leader, are you all okay?" Guo Chang heard the rapid gunfire over there and hurried over with his men.

"I'm fine. How are you guys?" Gong Shusen glanced at them.

"Except for the corpses on the ground, there are no zombies. Who are they...?" Guo Chang saw the corpses on the ground and walked forward to identify two people.

"Platoon leader, this...!"

"The zombies attacked suddenly and they couldn't dodge!" Gong Shusen sighed and tried not to think too much about it.

"It's a night walker. Platoon leader, there's no need to blame yourself. Everyone has their own destiny. We can only try our best to bring everyone back!" Guo Chang kicked the night walker's body. This thing's tongue was long and pointed, and very sharp.

"Okay, let's go and meet up with the first platoon of the third company!" Gong Shusen didn't know how many night zombies were still here, so he had to go back and discuss it with the battalion commander. As long as there was one left, they would have no chance of transporting the artillery shells out.

Gong Shusen led his men back to the elevator and was not attacked by the night zombies again on the way.

There are no people from the third company and first row here. They may be on the other side.

"Xiang Wei, go back and report to the battalion commander. Everyone else, follow me to support the first platoon of the third company!" Gong Shusen ordered. Gunshots were heard just now, and something might have happened.

"Yes!" Xiang Wei is a communications soldier in a platoon. However, there is no signal underground. Communications can only be transmitted through manpower like during the Anti-Japanese War.

"boom!"

Just as Gong Shusen led his men through the closed door, an explosion was heard in front of them. The explosion echoed in the passage and could be heard far away.

"Hurry!" Gong Shusen urged. If they used grenades in here, the first platoon of the third company would definitely be in fatal danger.

Following the passage in, we saw more and more dead bodies on the road, all from the previous few days. We didn't see anyone from the third company, but when we went deeper, we found them.

There were four bodies on the ground, and one person was sitting with his back against the wall. He had serious injuries on his body, and his internal organs were faintly visible in the wound on his abdomen.

Gong Shusen asked the medical soldier to go up and check. The medical soldier grabbed his hand, felt his pulse on his neck, and shook his head at Gong Shusen. He was already dead, and the man lying on the ground was also lifeless.

The soldiers present all clenched their fists secretly. Perhaps they did not know all the people in the Third Battalion, but they were one in the Third Battalion, and those on the ground were all their brothers from the Third Battalion.

Gong Shusen punched the wall.

"Collect their nameplates and let's keep going!"

It has now been confirmed that the first platoon of the third company is in big trouble. The five people they met should have gone out to seek help, but the damn zombies attacked them.

"Wait!" Gong Shusen smelled gunpowder in the air and asked everyone to stop. A battle had just taken place ahead, and even the source of the explosion was here.

There was a turn in this passage. Gong Shusen looked through the night vision goggles and saw a group of night zombies eating the bodies of the soldiers.

Gong Shusen immediately gestured for everyone to be quiet and prepare for a sneak attack on these damn zombies.

Everyone quietly checked their equipment and waited for Gong Shusen's orders.

"Three, two, one, hit!"

A row of soldiers immediately rushed out from the turning point and attacked the zombies in the passage.

The night zombies discovered a row of soldiers and turned around to escape. The soldiers would not let them go and kept them at all costs.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

No one cared about the consumption of bullets, they just wanted to kill the damn zombies to avenge their comrades.

The passage was already narrow, and a row of soldiers rushed out and covered the passage with a storm of bullets, leaving the Night Zombies nowhere to hide.

Several Night Walkers tried to charge towards a row, but the burning bullets tore their bodies apart, and all they did was struggle in vain.

There was no suspense in the battle. More than a dozen night zombies who had nowhere to hide were easily eliminated. They all fell down unwillingly.

"Squads one and two, check the battlefield, squads three and four, be on alert!" Gong Shusen didn't know if there were still people hiding in the dark, so he had to be careful at every step.

"Yes!" Each class received the order, and Guo Chang took people to check the corpse. They didn't know whether the night walking corpse had any hobby that made it bite the face, so the identity could only be confirmed through the identity tag.

"How is it?" Gong Shusen couldn't bear to look at the corpse on the ground, it was too tragic.

"I've checked, their platoon leader is not here!" Guo Chang stood up. He didn't find the relevant nameplate.

"Platoon leader, there are a total of fourteen night zombies!" Zeng Jincheng came over and said.

"We can still deal with the fourteen heads of the third company and the first platoon, but it will cost a certain price!" Gong Shusen looked deeper into the passage. The third company and the first platoon must be in bigger trouble.

"Pack up your ammunition and keep moving forward!"

"Platoon leader, the situation ahead is extremely dangerous. How about we wait for the support of the battalion commander?" Guo Chang suggested. The current situation is that a fully-strength platoon of the third company has lost many men, and their platoon may not be able to help.

"We can't wait. If the reinforcements don't arrive, the battalion commander only has two platoons besides the battalion headquarters personnel. Even if the battalion commander sends both platoons, it will be useless. This place is too small, and too many people will only cause trouble!"

Guo Chang nodded. He just mentioned it casually. What Gong Shusen said made sense. If two more rows of people were squeezed into this small passage, it would be overcrowded.

As he went deeper, Gong Shusen noticed that there were no warehouses on both sides, only solid walls, and this passage seemed to lead to somewhere else.

"Platoon leader, that's not right. According to my pace, we should be out of the range of the warehouse hill!" Guo Chang stopped and said.

"Keep moving forward!" Gong Shusen ignored Guo Chang and didn't care where he was now.

"Platoon leader, there are marks left by the first platoon of the third company!" The soldier in front discovered the fluorescent paint on the wall of the passage.

Gong Shusen came over and took a look and said, "They should have discovered something unusual, so the people we just met might be those they sent back!"

"Why two groups of people?" The monitor of Class 2 raised doubts.

"If the first wave was a report, then the second wave was a request for help..." Gong Shusen said as he discovered several bullet holes on the wall. The soldiers also picked up shell casings on the ground.

"It seems they are in danger!" Guo Chang picked up a bullet shell.

As he was speaking, gunshots were heard from the front, not far away.

"Let's go and provide support!"

A row of soldiers ran forward quickly and soon met a few soldiers from the third company in front of them. They were coming this way and were shooting behind them from time to time, providing cross cover.

A row of soldiers rushed up and eliminated their pursuers.

"Thank you!" The soldiers of the third company sat on the ground and gasped for breath when they saw the night zombies they were pursuing were killed.

"What's going on? Where's your platoon leader?"

When the soldiers of the third company saw Gong Shusen, they helped each other up.

"Platoon Leader Gong, please save our platoon leader!"

"What happened to your platoon leader?"

"Platoon leader and the others are trapped in the construction room!"

"Construction room?" Gong Shusen was stunned. There was a construction room underground?

"Platoon Leader Gong, it's like this. We found an unfinished underground space, which should be the expansion of the second underground floor!" explained a soldier from the third company.

"Where are Chen Liang and the others? Didn't you meet them?" another soldier from the third company asked, looking around.

"We have met people from your third company, but we arrived too late." Guo Chang glanced at Gong Shusen and replied.

The soldiers of the third company had no time to grieve. They wiped away their tears and immediately said, "Hurry up and save our platoon leader. They can't hold on any longer!"

"Okay, you lead the way!"

The soldiers of the third company led a row of people to a blast-proof door. The blast-proof door looked small and very strong. It might not be possible to blow it open even with explosives. Besides, the first row of people did not bring any explosives and had no intention of blowing up the door. Using explosives in an ammunition depot would be crazy.

"Did you go through here?" Gong Shusen looked at a ventilation hole in the upper left corner of the explosion-proof door.

"The door can't be opened, this is the only way!" said a soldier from the third company.

"It's quite open behind the door, with a lot of construction machinery and only some wooden planks supporting the top. We can't use explosives, otherwise there might be a landslide!"

"I heard you, be careful later!"

"Yes!" a row of soldiers answered loudly.
