Chapter 57: Last honor of this world
Captain Ye placed his binoculars down and his expression wasn’t good.
“Situation!”
The advisor at the side reported the situation to his captain.
“With our point as the origin, Li Shujun’s forces are at 2 o'clock and they have reached their position. At ten o'clock we found Hu Duohai and they had reached their position. The second unit is at five o'clock and at seven o'clock there is Cheif Liu.”
“Apart from that Qin Xiaobo’s forces disappeared at 12 o'clock and we have lost contact. At nine o'clock, four o'clock and right behind there are unknown forces that range from dozens of people to a few hundred.”
“At Jianying Building, Santong Street, Nanwu Street, Shining Supermarket etc there are large amounts of mutated life forces that are getting close, and also...”
“Also what?” Captain Ye focused and looked at this elite soldier that had always been following him and who had graduated from a famous military school.
Hit gritted his teeth, “We... are getting surrounded by zombies.”
Captain Ye smiled, “As long as we are in the city we are being surrounded aren’t we?”
“Captain, what I mean is that many zombies are gathering toward us from all directions. If we don’t retreat in ten minutes, we will be in a tough battle. If we delay by half an hour, we might not be able to get out.”
“So we only have half an hour to solve this puzzle?”
That young advisor nodded, he pursed his lips and didn’t say a word.
He tapped the window with a rhythm and determination flashed across his eyes.
He took off the Bluetooth ear piece. With his one star evolved’s super ability he jumped onto the top of a car and shouted,”Brothers, I have brought you all into a death tomb.”
The first and third unit soldiers turned around to look at their captain.
“There! There! And there! There are numerous monsters coming towards us. If we don’t retreat we might all die here!”
Hearing those words, many soldiers started to shuffle. Death had been something they heard during those 24 hours but when it was going to be about them, it still made them waver.
“I know that many of you are worried about your families and feel lost about the future and even feel terror about it. You don’t know why you are still here and why you are still wearing the uniform.”
“Me too.” Captain Ye’s voice was low, “I don’t know what is happening in my hometown and what my parents are like. I don’t know if my wife is safe and if my family is still alive.”
“I am also worried.”
Many people resonated with his words and their eyes swelled up. n0VElusb.c0m
“But!” He grabbed his own color and asked the soldiers, “Is that a reason to give up? Is this why we abandon our faith?!”
“Tell me, would we become like this?”
The young faces were all struggling, they were thinking and deciding.
“Anyways I won’t.” Captain Ye slapped his chest, “I am worried about my family but I also saw the world change. I saw our humans turning into monsters. I saw those poisonous gachapons and also saw unimaginable evolving methods!”
“Exactly the same as those games!” Captain Ye shouted and his face turned red, “I feel like I am getting played! What about all of you?”
“I feel like I am a toy, I am a chess piece that others are using for fun!”
“I am worried about my family and want to find them but I know that it won’t work. Maybe I won’t even get out of the city and would be eaten up by these monsters. At that time what is the point of my family being alive? I am already dead!”
“So I need to keep alive and get stronger and head towards my own home to see my family! If they are alive I will hug them. If they are dead, I will personally bury them. If they are alive I will use my life to protect them. If they are dead then I will live well for them!”
“My army life told me that to complete this goal, I can’t depend on myself, I need to depend on this team. This is what we knew when we wore the uniform, did we forget it all because of the apocalypse? Are we going to get hot-headed and run out to die?”
“No, I won’t do that, I won’t allow my men to do that either! I will ensure and keep all of you alive! Stay alive do you hear me!”
“Yes!”
The soldiers were touched by Captian Ye’s feelings and shouted back.
“We are soldiers, we are born to fight and now this is war! We need to get stronger, we need to get stronger than these monsters, stronger than this world! Only then are we worthy of the name and honor of soldiers!”
“Anyways, even if I die, I will die with this uniform, I will die with the last bit of honor that this world has!”
“Honor belongs to us!”
“Belongs to us! Belongs to us!”
The shouts felt as if time had stopped. The soldiers had tossed aside all their random thoughts.
Right, there was nothing to think about. Get stronger, stay alive and then they could think about other things. The strength of an individual versus a group, the difference was something that they knew.
“Now we have a huge chance. If we win, we will get stronger. What do you all say, should we give up?!”
“No!”
“Good, my troops never disappoint me!” He waved, “Our goal is up ahead, my order is to head forwards! Head forwards! Smash everything ahead of us! Tonight, those who do well will have a chance to evolve! Tonight, I will treat you all to alcohol!”
The soldiers all replied. They raised their guns and pushed forwards toward Pearl Lake!

Ye Zhongming hid in a building and he heard that captain speak. Even he felt his blood boil up.
He was envious as such a united team was something that was unimaginable in the apocalypse. No one would talk about honor and feelings with you, they only cared about interests.
These things would slowly disappear as the world crumbles.
But at least at this moment, the blood of these guys was still hot.
Maybe their goals were the same as his. Maybe some people might find them amusing but their aura and unity were deserving of respect.
We could not agree with them but we had to respect them.
“Good luck!” Ye Zhongming silently prayed for these guys.
Zi zi zi zi!
Energy currents appeared nearby. He raised his head and saw that a giant black hole was forming over at the lake!
