Zombie Apocalypse: Creation-Chapter 520: Alliance Or Retreat
"Major Wen Pi, I demand you to stay put! Reinforcement is coming——"
"Where the fuck is the reinforcement, Zhong Pan? I don't need more bombs or missiles! I need men and ammo!"
As the two sides continued to argue, the idea Xiaoyun had only further fermented into his mind.
"Go fuck yourself and fuck your order. I'm going to retreat now with my men."
"You... Fine——"
Just as the call was about to end between them, Xiaoyun quickly turned on his walkies-talkie's mic.
"Hello. Is this Zhongxiong's defense force I'm speaking to?"
"Who's this?" Wen Pi asked first.
"I'm the commander of 3rd and 4th Army corp from Luoping. I was wondering if you guys need our help in fighting."
Both side fell into silence, making Xiaoyun a little nervous as his mind thought they didn't believe him.
"Commander, we're five minute from arriving at the destination. Over."
As Lingang's voice came out from the other walkies-talkies, the two finally spoke up again.
"You're really the commander of Lingang?" Wen Pi asked with a hint of uncertainty.
"Lingang, am I your commander?"
"Yes, sir. Zhong Pan and Wen Pi, you both could hear me right now, right?"
"Yes."
"The person on the mic right now is the commander that I had told you guys about."
The moment Lingang finished talking, Xiaoyun could hear one of the side letting out a small sigh.
"Mr.Chen, can you help us? As fellow human being against the zombies?"
Hearing Wen Pi's pleading voice made Xiaoyun feel a little guilty, but he quickly shook his head to clear his mind.
"I'm sorry. But I'm responsible to my citizens and my soldiers... I cannot help you for free like this."
"What do you want?"
This time, the voice was from Zhong Pan, speaking up before Wen Pi could make any offers.
"It will be great if we can get a few of your missiles——"
"Not happening."
"Zhong Pan you old coot! Do you want us to lose more men? What are those missile going to do if we're all dead?"
As Xiaoyun waited for their response, he quickly turned off his mic before turning his original walkies-talkie a little louder.
"Commander Xiaoyun! Building four here. We're requesting to retreat!"
"Denied. All units. Get ready to move. We're going to retake Changsha with our allies. Over."

The order seemingly confused the entire army, including the nearby soldiers who heard the entire conversation the whole time.
They could all hear the negotiation had yet to go through, but Xiaoyun acted as if the deal had already been reached.
"Commander, are you sure? We only have enough ammos to break through the horde for retreat." One of the Colonels raised their concern.
"If we don't have enough, we're going to brute force it no matter what. All truck units, get ready to be on standby to run over zombies."
After a few second, the walkie-talkie rang up with all six Colonels accepting the order he had put.
"Affirmative."
With the concern out of the way, Xiaoyun quickly shift his attention back to the second walkie-talkie.
"Have you guys decided what to do?"
"We can give you five of the missiles if you manage to help us clear Changsha."
"Deal."
"You don't want to know what kind of missiles they are? What if we back off the deal afterward?" Wen Pi asked out of curiosity.
"I trust you guys... There's no reason to break a promise when you guys have already honored your deal in the past."
"Ahem, I'm going to get ready. Please try your best to hold on."
As Xiaoyun hung up the call, he quickly took a glance by the window.
Just as he expected, endless rows of zombies were still on the street, rushing inward towards all the different buildings his soldiers held.
Not a single building was fortunate enough, as loud gunshots downstairs indicated that the zombies had arrived at the last row.
Walking across to the other side of the office and looking down, he noticed that there were much fewer zombies on the other street.
"All trucks, please head towards 2nd street and get ready to head towards the city center."
"Affirmative."
"Building one, you may retreat into the trucks first. After it is done, you may immediately drive off, and the next building will begin the moving process."
"Affirmative."
"Lingang, can your army go towards the city center instead?"
"Yes sir."
Hearing loud trucks traveling down the street, all of the soldiers on the 2nd floor were already started packing their stuff.
Xiaoyun didn't wait either. He began heading downstairs with them, only to arrive at an entrance filled with zombie bodies.
"Commander! Are we going to abandon these heavy weapons and bullet?" The Major asked out loud.
"We can get them back later. Our new main task is to meet up with Zhongxiong's forces."
The Major said nothing else, turning his attention to directing the soldiers to continue fighting while Xiaoyun waited for other buildings to move first.
After a minute of waiting, he could see the first truck driving by 2nd sstreet, heading straight to the first building.
Seconds later, another truck came. Then another, until both lanes of the road was filled up with trucks heading West.
The first army took less than a minute as some of the trucks began to drive off, with the second army taking even faster.
Everyone wanted to get out of the tiring battlefield, with gunshots still going off as Xiaoyun picked up one of the heavy machine gun and started firing.
"Commander! It's our turn now!"
As Xiaoyun looked over to 1st Street one last time, the number of zombies outside drastically decreased to around a hundred thousand.
Given one or two more minute, he was certain his army could wipe them out. But that was assuming there would be no more zombie reinforcement.
"You all go first. I'll go last."
None of the soldiers argued back, all accepting the order as the firepower against the zombie began to vanish.
Most of them stopped before even reaching the broken glass entrance and were rapidly approaching Xiaoyun's army.
"Commander, everyone is retreated to the truck safely!"
Xiaoyun didn't waste any longer, dropping the MG-42 as he ran straight towards the backdoor exit.
Slamming the door shut and turning back around, he was a little confused by the truck already driving off into the distance.
However, turning his head to the right, he could see a pickup truck zooming straight through the street filled with zombie bodies.
"Get on."
Kate's reassuring voice made Xiaoyun let out a small sigh of relief as he ran around to enter inside the passenger seat.
Just as she floored the gas pedal, the backdoors to buildings ahead were completely busted, flooding the road with zombies.
"Shit! Sit tight!"
---
When Xiaoyun and Kate arrived at the city center, the pickup truck was almost covered in blood.
Yet it was still running perfectly fine, although the front had several small dents and mysterious body parts leaking out blood.
"Holy shit that was fun!"
Seeing Kate's thrilled face, Xiaoyun didn't try to put out her flame. Instead, he nodded in agreement to it.
"That was pretty crazy not going to lie... But we probably shouldn't do that again."
"Yeah..."
As the two of them jumped out of the cars, the soldiers were already setting up a primative defense around an park.
All the trucks were being fully unloaded, removing the last bit of ammo they had saved up for what was suppose to be the retreat ammo.
Looking over to few streets across was a massive city hall, with constant gunshots and small explosion coming out.
The zombies were flooding from all three sides, and only a small fraction were heading in their direction.
A ton of the nearby buildings were also blown up, with concrete rubbles and even open flame still ravaging several of the office block.
It was clear all the destruction were either some sort of heavy bombs, or missiles considering many of the collapsed buildings were at least twenty floor tall.
"Lingang!"
"Commander Xiaoyun!"
As the two reunited again, Xiaoyun quickly noticed several tanks inside the middle of the park itself.
They all looked the same as the one his army once had—the same blue color with the Luoping paint barely visible over all the fainted red stains.
"You found the tanks?"
Lingang quickly nodded, his face barely hiding how happy he looked as he showcased the two closer towards the tank.
"The tank crew managed to bulldoze into the park and hide them in one of the bathrooms.
We just found them when we first entered the building and noticed a rescue signal constantly being spammed out."
"That's good to hear——"
"Are you guys going to help us or not?"
As Wen Pi's voice appeared from the walkie-talkie, they both turned their attention back to the battlefield.
"Lingang, you can direct this battle. Unless you want me or someone else to direct it instead."
The order caught Lingang a little off guard, but he soon realized this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Yes sir! I'm extremely happy to direct our army to victory!"
Seeing Lingang's face with a wide smile, Xiaoyun patted him on the back before signalling Kate to leave with him.
"Great... Don't disappoint me again."
