章 435: Sleeping under the ridge

Everyone slept deeply that night, except for a few shifts in the middle of the night. The rest did not wake up until after six in the morning.

And this is true, although a soldier can live in hostile and dangerous environments through a combination of training, mental and physical preparation, proper equipment, and survival strategies.

In terms of training, soldiers are trained in basic military skills such as weapons handling, combat techniques, survival tactics, navigation, and communications. They may also receive specialized training in areas such as combat medicine, explosives, and mine deactivation, among others.

"It can't be!"

Just as people were still stunned, there was an exclamation from the deck, and everyone's drowsy brains woke up in an instant and rushed out of the cabin, but the scene in front of them completely surprised them.

On the shore, more than ten meters away from the yacht, densely packed walkers surrounded the street. Because the fence on the shore blocked them, these walkers gathered more and more, but because their position was lower than the riverbank, it was impossible to see how far the horde of undead extended.

If they could look down from a high place at this moment, they would definitely be completely shocked by this scene, because at this moment, the walkers on the riverbank extend hundreds of meters out.

Everyone felt their bodies numb from the scene, and the music that was playing over their heads stopped, followed by Airon's shout.

"Attention, our task in the next few days is to attract all walkers to the river. Everyone will now attack the fences on the riverbank with their weapons. You must know that our goal is not the walkers, but to make these undead fall into the river as soon as they destroy the fence."

Although they are soldiers, when they experience this kind of thing, they are always able to deal with a large number of walkers without any fear.

Now that the entire plan has been built and taken shape, the following was really easy.

The music sounded again from the speaker, and this continued to attract walkers to this side, and Airon was not worried that the sound could not reach the other side of the city.

Because walkers have a herd effect, whenever they attract walkers from the city, it is equivalent to attracting the attention of all walkers.

Even if no more sound is made, the horde formed now will follow the walkers at the front in any direction they move, and finally Airon will clear the city.

Although there are some walkers in some dead corners of the city where they will not come out, the area affected by a single large horde of walkers is enough to attract 99% of the undead in the city.

Everyone put on their helmets again and raised their weapons, standing at the railings on both sides of the river. The sound of music was mixed with gunshots, making the walkers walking nearby even more tense.

Airon took a sniper rifle and walked to the bow deck with a piece of jerky and a bread in his mouth. This is his breakfast. This time, everyone is equipped with a large amount of dry food, which they could make sandwiches from quickly.

Bang bang! Bang bang!

The bullet hit exactly at the connection position of the railing with powerful kinetic energy, easily tearing apart the fragile metal structure of the railing and breaking off the top directly.

The power brought by the terrifying amount of walkers pushing forward is equally terrifying, and the walkers that have been gathering since midnight pushed forcefully forward.

As the people on the yacht joined in the shooting, the railings were breaking at an extremely fast speed, along with the force exerted by the walkers, several railings emitted metal bending sounds that pierced the teeth.

The walkers sprouted from the gap like a flood, and the visual effect was quite terrifying.

Seeing that the task was done, Airon gave a signal for the yacht to move along the river to continue breaking the railings and causing the walkers to fall into the river in huge waves.

The situation at this time did not need Airon's command, everyone knew what to do and followed through.

In a short time, the walkers reached the river, and finally all fell in a chain.

Airon estimated it would take at least three days to clear all the walkers, but he was wrong: by the morning of the fourth day, there were still scattered walkers coming from the streets in all directions.

Since the group of walkers decreased to a certain level, they began to move slowly toward the shore.

On the morning of the fourth day, Airon dismantled the wind turbine that was originally installed on the boat and installed it on another small boat along with the battery and the previous speaker.

The boat was fixed directly in the middle of the river, the speaker continued playing music and they finally could get off the yacht and hide directly in a nearby apartment building in the urban city on the other side of the river.

Four consecutive days of life on the yacht did not make everyone uncomfortable, but the loud sound of the speaker really gave them a headache.

But everyone focused on moving forward and it took a little more time to clean the building where they finally all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my God, I'm going deaf. At first, I didn't feel it, but it's torture after so long."

"Holy God, I loved Lady Gaga, but now I can't stand her songs for at least a while."

Welles kept covering his ears with his pinky fingers, with a piece of jerky in his mouth. The expression on his face looked very tired.

The rest of the people didn't complain about anything, they just looked at him in silence, and a deep sense of fatigue could be seen on their faces.

The corner of Airon's mouth curved and he walked to the window, looking at the walkers on the street below still walking toward the shore, and at this moment he could still hear the music coming from the river.

"Listen, everyone has worked hard so they can rest in the coming days. You can go to bed as soon as possible after dinner tonight."

After saying that, Airon looked around and said, "Since we're in a large building with rooms, you can choose to sleep alone or with a partner. There are enough rooms for each of us so you can choose for yourselves."

Except for Welles, who stayed behind, everyone else yawned and basically went into a room to rest. Only a few people opted to share a room.

"Judging from the situation, there shouldn't be any walkers tomorrow morning. What should we do next?"

Although Welles was also very tired, he still insisted on staying. It's not easy to be a leader at any time. As a sergeant before, everyone on the team unconsciously followed his arrangements, even though he wasn't a leader at first. The officer who was the best in the group was gradually accepted by the management after his arrival at S.C.T.

Now his decisions were more important than before, and at the same time the pressure was greater because he was taking care of hundreds of people.

Airon was lounging in a chair while eating nuts along with some walnuts. Welles stayed there, looking at his legs and checking that his prostheses had no problems moving forward.

But at this moment!

The sound of a helicopter sounded in the distance, and the sound transmitted between the buildings, stopping the discussion among the people in the room.

"I need a report!"
