Bab 58: Exterminating the Biggest Threat

Richard sat in the passenger seat of the JLTV Oshkosh, his eyes fixed on the unfolding battle ahead. They trailed behind a convoy consisting of an M1A2 Abrams Tank, M117 Guardian, and LAV-25.

He clenched his jaw in frustration as the formidable Goliath resisted wave after wave of Hydra rockets, Hellfire Missiles, and 20-millimeter armor-piercing rounds.

Glancing at the health indicator displayed above the Goliath's turret, he noted it was down to just 13 percent. They were so close to neutralizing the most significant threat they'd encountered since the outbreak began.

"All stations, prepare for danger close engagement, and provide sitrep when able," Richard ordered.

"This is Warhammer-2, we're still engaging the Goliath. Our situation is critical," came the response.

"Copy that, Warhammer-2. We're one minute out from the AO," Richard acknowledged. He then radioed Blackwatch for an update on the approaching zombie hordes.
