"Holy shit, there are so many zombies in front of us!" The Major commanding the 3rd regiment yelled out towards Han Bang.

"I know! I don''t need you to tell me that! We''ll make it before they get there." Han Bang yelled back.

"Everyone! Do not move out of formation! I repeat! Anyone who moves out of formation will be treated as mutiny and shot on sight!" Han Bang yelled as loudly as he could.

As he looked around, he noticed a few of the newer soldiers were failing to reload their weapons as the pressure started to build up.

Even the older soldiers panicked a little as well, as they had never seen this many zombies at once.

The two regiments finally made it to the office block. But before any of them entered inside, Han Bang ordered two soldiers to put the speaker in the middle of the street.

"Everyone, get in your defense position!" Han Bang ordered.

The 2nd regiment rushed upstairs, and the 3rd regiment behind them took a defensive position outside in a semi-circle around the entrance.

As the four companies fired back at the zombies, it barely made a dent as the numbers of zombies filled up the entire street rushing towards them.

"1st Company and 4th company, gradually start moving inward!" Han Bang spoke through the walkie-talkie rather than yelling this time as the gunfire outside was getting extremely loud.

As the two companies moved inward, the zombies were able to advance toward the office block much quicker with less firepower. And soon, they were just within a hundred steps.

After the two companies had fully retreated inside the building, Han Bang executed the next part of the plan.

"2nd and 3rd company, throw your grenades and retreat!"

The two companies threw their grenades out and rushed inside.

With a loud explosion, it created the much-needed space for everyone to rush into their position.

When the zombies started flooding toward the entrances, Han Bang raised his hand to signal the soldiers to hold fire.

None of the soldiers asked and followed it silently as the zombies began pouring towards them as they broke through the entrance door.

As every second passed, a drop of sweat dripped down the soldier''s head as the zombies were now within fifty steps.

But Han Bang still maintains his hand up to hold fire as the zombies rush closer.

Just as the zombies were now within twenty steps, Han Bang finally lowered his hands.

All the soldiers immediately pulled their trigger as waves of bullets fired towards the zombies in unison.

Within seconds, thousands of bullet casting fell and hit the floor as waves of zombies fell onto the floor at the same time.

On the outside of the office building...

More and more zombies were standing outside, all trying to get inside the building. But the narrow entrance meant only a certain number could come in at once.

Soon, the zombies started stacking on top of each other as if they wanted to get in from the second floor.

But what was awaiting the zombies was the 2nd regiment who had been waiting the whole time.

"Major Li Chen, should we fire yet?" A captain rank soldier asked.

"Not yet..." Li Chen replied.

As all eight of the regiment waited patiently, the loud music in the distance suddenly stopped.

Just as Xiaoyun was about to ask Han Bang, the walkie-talkie got a transmission.

"All of the MG-42 are overheating, and dead zombies are filling up the building! We need backup! Over." Han Bang urgently requested.

Xiaoyun immediately sent out an order.

"Xiaoyun here. 4th,5th,6th, and 7th regiment, you are authorized to begin operation. Over."

Wuli got up from her seat and moved toward the edge of the building as she pulled out her binoculars.

Xiaoyun pulled out his binoculars as well and looked towards the street over.

Although the buildings blocked their views of the front entrance, the two could still see the side and the streets nearby filled with zombies.

After five minutes, the two could see the first bus driving towards the zombies from the right.

They couldn''t tell what the bus did, but the majority of the zombies on the east side started chasing the bus rather than trying to get inside the building.

Next, the bus on the west side arrived, but it wasn''t able to lure as many zombies as the one on the east side.

"7th regiment, how did you drag so many zombies?" Xiaoyun asked over the walkie-talkie.

"We put our cellphones together and played the loudest music we could." The Major from the 7th regiment replied.

"All other three regiments. Please copy the example of what the 7th regiment did. Over."

The north and south buses were able to do the same thing as the east side as they drew a similar amount of zombies away from the building.

The office building still had a lot of zombies surrounding it, but it was much less as it went from around in the hundreds of thousands back down to within the ten thousand range.

With nothing much to do on the roof, Xiaoyun and Wuli, along with his two bodyguards, went back downstairs to check the map.

As they arrived downstairs, all the soldiers were either closing their eyes and resting or cleaning their weapons as if their life depended on it.

"Everyone get ready... Is the artillery ready?" Xiaoyun asked the captain assigned to handle the artillery.

"Yes, sir! It can be fired at any time... But we do not recommend using it in this such a dense city..." The captain replied.

"Why not? There are no civilians in any of those buildings. It''s already been scouted clear." Xiaoyun asked again.

"Well, artillery isn''t always accurate... And if we fire in this close approximation, it might friend-fire."

"Why didn''t you tell me this earlier?" Xiaoyun lifted the captain''s collar in frustration.

"I-I didn''t know we''re using it this close." The captain replied in panic.

"Xiaoyun, calm down. It''s not like we need to use it right now."

Wuli gently pushed Xiaoyun''s hand to make him drop the captain back down.

"What if it is needed as a last resort? How does he not know that is what I''m using the artillery for?

All the soldiers should have gotten the memo. This would be a court martial for not warning about the inability to use the equipment. " Xiaoyun argued.

Wuli understood Xiaoyun''s point, but she didn''t want her comrade to get fired over this.

"Captain Ni Ping, why didn''t you know about this?" Wuli looked over and asked.
