118 3.06.23 – Showdown – Downfall of Humanity

Startled by the high amount of zombies, the logistic squad leader began to list their munition which wouldn’t be enough to lure in all the zombies from nearby cities.

Each soldier was packed with three thousand rounds and four frag grenades. There were five machine guns with fifty thousand round, two ground drones, and two flying drones equipped with machine guns.

Yi Zen’s expression deepened, “We need to clean a road to the military base as soon as possible.”

Meaning, city C was their first target.





One of the leaders thought about a trench strategy, “Should we delay their advancement by digging deep holes around the base and put them on fire?”

“Waste of time,” two voices spoke at the same time. The number of zombies would overwhelm the trench warfare.

Bing Shi turned her head towards the other voice.

Ren Han repaid her gaze with an impish smile, “Grandma, who is going to lure in all the zombies?”

Everyone’s head turned towards Bing Shi. If Ren Han was her grandson, wouldn’t it make Yi Zen his granduncle?

.....

“Huh? No way.” Bing Shi pointed at Ren Han, “Let him do it; he’s the most familiar with city C.”

Everyone’s head switched back to Ren Han.

“I would gladly,” Ren Han sighed, his tone troubled, “But I don’t have a flying snake.”

Everyone’s head turned towards Bing Shi in excitement.

Bing Shi crossed her arms, “Kuro can’t fly with a heavy load. It has to be on the ground to be able to carry something.”

Ren Han nodded in understanding, “Grandma, it’s time to lose some weight.”



‘Who is wasting time with his nonsense, huh?’

Bing Shi’s mouth twitched, not affected by his provocation, “Zombies are attracted to noise, especially cars. Send your flying drones to the most frequented areas. Make a loud car sound to lure in all the scattered zombies. Ren Han team will use bikes to arrive at those locations. Anyone with a better idea?”

The team leaders thought about her simple idea. Was that a reason why Bing Shi called a SWAT team? As policemen, they often used bikes to chase after criminals. In this field, soldiers couldn’t be compared to them. They had no helicopters at a disposition. Also, it would be hard to maneuver around the buildings and roads were filled with cars, however...

“Why can’t we use drones only?” Qua Tao asked.

“We can try. It’d be great if zombies were stupid to such extend. I even bought fireworks, just to try it out. Instead of trench warfare, we can slow them down by using chemical Manja, a thread coated with glass. It’ll be hard to move inside a cobweb. As a bonus, it can cut through throats.” Bing Shi pumped her chest, to stop herself from coughing, “We are talking about thousands of zombies. We can’t put them on fire. Fire creates smoke. It’ll be hard for soldiers to aim...”

Her throat went too dry. While coughing, she ran towards her tent and pulled out her mask.

For the first time, soldiers got a chance to hear her real voice. And it was far from pleasant. She was choking, hard. Each time she took a breath, a dozen painful sounding chokes followed. It brought discomfort to the nearby men.

Yi Zen stood before Kuro, who was curled up before Bing Shi’s tent, “Is she alright?”

[“Just nod.”]

Kuro nodded and went inside her tent to grab a tablet. A message appeared on the screen.

::: It’s been a long time since she spoke so much. Continue with the meeting:::

When Ren Han read the message, he started to laugh at her misfortune.

Refusing a medic, nobody moved from their spot, not until her gaging and coughing subdued.

[Host, are you alright?]

[“No? That was so uncool. Now, they’ll take me for a weak girl.”]

Wiping down her red face with a wet towel, Bing Shi started to clean her gas mask with a tired complexion. Frowning in disgust, she asked Kuro for a new one.

Stepping inside the meeting tent with a bottle in her hand, Bing Shi sipped on her water as if the disgraceful moment ago was an illusion. Sitting at her spot next to Yi Zen, she motioned for them to continue, using her hand signs, not bothering to utter a single word.

“...” The men resumed the meeting, their serious expressions cracked. Who did she think she was? An alien Queen?!

During her absence, they sent a few drones to city C. Imitating the car sound; those zombies pursued the drone stupidly.

Everyone exclaimed in happiness, “It works!”

As Bing Shi was the only one who was equipped, they didn’t come up with any other plans.

Soldiers began to drill metal rods all over the barren land. They tied the colorful threads in different heights and patterns, creating a web-like structure around the base.

“So, all the threads inside the container were for this, huh?” Pony smirked.

Tedy laughed, “Man, I thought she ran out of money and wanted to use these threads as new fences.”

Bing Shi waved at them from the platform, “Hey ??.” The voice changer changed her weak voice to a regular one, “Look up ??.”

The men outside the walls lifted their heads, ‘Is she taking pictures of us?!’

“Done,” Bing Shi sent them a thumbs up, “You, handsome men, are going to be a part of the history in future textbooks, isn’t that amazing?”

Smiling, she ran to the other side of the base.

“...” What handsome men?!? They shook their heads, looking down, they continued to tie the threads, trying to hide those little smiles at the corner of their mouths.

Tedy chuckled, “Man, I want to have her enthusiasm.”

“Was that some kind of a cheer up before a battle?” Pony asked.

“I think so.”

That’s what they needed right now, a little laughter to fight their stress, and a new purpose in life.

· · — · ???· — · ·

Some soldiers sighed in relief; they didn’t have to dig holes as deep as those walls for all the zombies to fit in.

Standing at a platform, they used a 360° mobile crane to transport 1000kg of ammunition up, without a need for electricity, just by using a simple manual lift.

Yet again, Bing Shi saved them lots of time and energy.
