Two Thousand & Thirteen

Chapter 14 Giant Flesh and Blood

  August 25, 2012.

    Meng Feng and Zhang Min came back safely, and we got the first batch of armed forces. Lin Musen is an ambitious man. His ambition is restrained and flamboyant, silent and dangerous. When everyone is working hard to survive, he is willing to just survive. If I'm not mistaken, he wants to fight for something after this wave of zombies.

    One country? A regime? But that is still too far away, he has too few people, plus the newly recruited civilians, there are currently less than fifty men who can serve as combat power.

    He asked Meng Feng and Zhang Min to train these fifty people, including himself.

    They set up targets by the river, practiced shooting with Zhang Min in the morning, and let Meng Feng lead them in the afternoon, with ten kilogram sandbags tied to their legs, for physical training through mountains and rivers.

    Fang Xiaolei proposed a very scary idea, but Lin Musen didn't care about it.

    Only we know what that means—zombies that are slowly evolving toward self-awareness. The reason why human beings can protect themselves when the zombie tide breaks out is because zombies have no thinking ability, and their actions are based on survival instincts: eating, attacking and others. They fight on their own and don't know how to cooperate and defeat each other which makes the zombie group a mess. As long as they don't encounter an overwhelming wave of zombies, small groups of humans can escape with the right weapons.

    However, once the evolution guess is proven, I can't imagine how powerful a zombie army that can outflank, sneak attack and organize discipline will be. If they stop attacking humans and instead feed on living things, the consequences will be disastrous.

    My diary is getting longer and longer, and I hope that everything will not develop towards the worst...

    "Liu Yan." A person knocked on the door outside: "Go out for training."

    Liu Yan closed the notebook, stuffed it under the bed, and replied: "I'm a technical worker."

    The man said: "Brother Sen ordered that everyone should receive training in the atrium."

    Liu Yan could only leave the room, the corridor was full of people looking down, and Lin Musen was wearing a mask, on his left shoulder is a white iron armor shoulder pads, holding a dagger in his right hand, bowing slightly.

    In front of him is a zombie!

    Liu Yan couldn't help being startled, and saw the zombie rushing towards Lin Musen, who suddenly turned sideways to avoid the zombie's arm, and let out a howl of "Ho", the zombie bit his shoulder pad tightly, Lin Musen pick it upwards with the dagger, Meng Feng said: "Stop!"

    Lin Musen rolled on the spot and dodged, and the onlookers cheered loudly.

    Meng Feng kicked the zombie upside down and flew back into the cage. Immediately, someone on both sides closed the cage door and slammed down the iron bolts.

    "The direction of the dagger piercing is wrong." Meng Feng said: "The strength of the hand is still a bit weak. To stab it upwards from the chin, it needs to go deep into the back of its head in order to achieve the killing effect." He gestured with his fist and landed on at Lin Musen's throat, he pushed with force, pushing Lin Musen back and against the wall.

    Lin Musen nodded and said, "Understood."

    Meng Feng stood aside.

    Lin Musen said: "The next one."
