Undead

Chapter 76

(Slightly H)

"Zombies attack the camp at night, the situation is critical, will contact later."

This became the last communication from the Black Hawk Team to headquarters.

For the next thirty-six hours, the communication department worked day and night, but they couldn't establish contact with them.

In the meeting room, smoke filled the air, and no one paid attention to the rule that smoking was not allowed in the headquarters. General Zheng, with a cigarette in hand, stood at the head of the conference table. His eyes were bloodshot from staying up late, and his voice was hoarse as he spoke:

"The search and rescue area spans up to 200 kilometers, mainly in mountainous and forested areas, with about ten thousand zombies roaming and gathering. The Eighth Army Group, which is conducting the search and rescue in Hebei, has already gone to the scene, and the casualties are severe, but there are no signs of survivors. The elite reconnaissance battalion from Inner Mongolia base is on their way to the canyon, and we'll receive their report shortly..."

"Does the General Staff Headquarters have any conclusions?" someone asked.

General Zheng paused his smoking and exhaled a cloud of white smoke. After a moment, he said in a low voice, "If the reconnaissance battalion doesn't find survivors either, we can preliminarily conclude that the entire Black Hawk Team has perished."

"Damn it!" Someone in the back suddenly erupted, slamming a teacup onto the table. "That waste Tang Hao, he brought my soldiers back! He's a piece of crap, causing trouble in both success and failure!"

"Captain Kong!" General Zheng snapped.

Someone immediately went over to restrain him, and Zhou Rong glanced back, recognizing that he was from the neighboring paratrooper unit. Upon hearing the news that the entire Black Hawk Team had perished, Captain Kong immediately lost control of his emotions.

"That's enough! If they've all perished, then Captain Tang is also among the casualties!" General Zheng shouted sternly. "Furthermore, the mission was extremely difficult, and casualties were inevitable. Who could have predicted the movements of the zombie wave?"

"Every one of our soldiers in the camp is someone I personally brought from the Chengdu Military Region, all nine of them!" Captain Kong exclaimed with grief and anger. "The youngest is only twenty years old, and he's the only one left in his family. He doesn't even know who to write his last words to!"

Zhou Rong interrupted him, "My youngest soldier just turned eighteen, and she's a girl."

Captain Kong fell silent.

"Deputy Minister Guo's whole family is martyred, and his only grandson is also inside," Zhou Rong said slowly. "Those are the last four soldiers of our 118th."

The surroundings fell into silence, and Captain Kong couldn't find words to say. He sat down heavily in his chair.

"I believe there are survivors. The entire Black Hawk Team is equipped with Level 2 antibodies, and even if they were infected, it's impossible for the entire team to be wiped out overnight," Zhou Rong said, standing up from his seat in front of everyone. He turned to General Zheng. "The Inner Mongolia base doesn't have enough manpower, so I request that the headquarters take the lead in organizing a rescue operation."

General Zheng's face was as cold as water. "The elite reconnaissance battalion on the other side is competent enough!"

"In that case, I request the organization of a more professional special forces rescue team."
