Chapter 313: Chapter 260: Doomsday General Mobilization

"According to reliable intelligence, everyone in our entire nation... has already been infected by a virus. It’s called the S-Virus, but you can think of it as a zombie virus. At 7:00 PM sharp this evening, it will trigger a mass outbreak, instantly infecting 90% of the population and turning them into mindless, walking corpses."

Everyone stared at Qiao Yunliang in shock, thinking he had gone mad.

However, Advisor Shao, the military district’s second-in-command and Qiao Yunliang’s personal strategist, stood beside him and nodded, confirming that this was no joke.

This meant that the military high command of Yanhai City endorsed this information.

"If this information is true, then we’ve all already been infected. It’s unavoidable... Don’t do anything pointless."

"Your protective suits and helmets will prevent you from being bitten or scratched by the zombies. Do not put on your helmets before 7:00 PM. At 7:00 PM sharp, anyone who hasn’t turned must put on their helmet immediately!"

"By then, anyone not wearing a helmet is a zombie... Grab your knives, stab them through the skull, and take them down."

"Additionally, some of my men will be providing covering fire from here on the stage, helping the survivors shoot any zombies that have turned..."

Yu Dong had given him the names of all the soldiers who survived in his past life. Qiao Yunliang had already transferred them to his side and equipped them with firearms.

The remaining militiamen and retired soldiers who were not summoned to the meeting were ordered to remain at home and await further commands.

This was the absolute limit of what his authority allowed. He could only manage military affairs. If he overstepped his bounds... he’d be in serious trouble, and then he wouldn’t be able to do anything at all.

He wanted to save the entire country, but... after making a round of calls, he gave up. No one was willing to shoulder that responsibility.

Only Deng of the Wilderness Battle Corps, a classmate from decades ago, finally got so pestered by him that he grudgingly agreed. He would schedule a fully armed field exercise for 7:00 PM, so that if something did happen, his troops would at least have armor and weapons.

After giving his subordinates a moment to process the information, Qiao Yunliang began to issue commands:

"Time is short. Get your protective suits ready, grab your helmets, and check your weapons and ammo."

Everyone sprang into action. There was no more time to think. A soldier’s first duty is to obey.

...

「Large-scale Industrial Park Base.」

Seeing that it was already 6:45, Yin Shuangyang’s core subordinates started getting antsy.

"The boss said to suit up in the combat gear at 7:00. We should get ready to move."

"What’s the rush! We’ve still got 15 minutes until 7:00. Let’s finish this hand of cards... Who knows, we might just drop dead in a minute. Might as well enjoy one last game."

"7:00 is still an hour early. The real outbreak isn’t until 8:00. What’s the hurry! Play your card!"

...

"Parade, rest! Attention! Eyes, right! Spread out into exercise formation!"

...

"This is our chance to see the world turned upside down. We’re going to be the ones setting the new rules. Aren’t all those rich bastards usually so damn cocky? Next time I see one, I’ll piss right in his mouth!"

...

"This is a war! A war for the very survival of our nation! Our country needs its soldiers now, and we must give it our all!"

...

"The ones who survive will have it made. After the apocalypse, nothing’s illegal. Fuck any woman you want, drive any luxury car, kill anyone who pisses you off. We’ll follow the boss and live like kings wherever we go!"

...

"Some of you will die, and some of you will live... To those who die, I express my deepest regrets. To those who live... you will shoulder the responsibility of saving our country. You will fight the zombies without end! We will fight for as long as they do! We will fight until we achieve total victory!"

...

"Fuck, if I survive, tonight I’m gonna eat three bowls of noodles, bang a couple of chicks, and have a hell of a night!"

...

"You must overcome your fear and fight with all your might! Survive! The people are still waiting for us!"

...

"I’m not eating beef! I’m gonna be Homelander!"

...

"Fight for our country! Fight for the people! Fight for our dignity!"

...

"Wait!"

6:55 PM.

In the room where Xufeng and two others were being held, Yu Dong saw Yin Shuangyang get to his feet. He was about to go remind the men outside to start putting on their combat gear when Yu Dong shouted.

Yin Shuangyang gave Yu Dong a questioning look.

"What is it?"

"President Yin, you asked me at noon if there was anything else I was holding back. The truth is, there was something. I was struggling with whether to tell you, but I’ve made up my mind now..."
