    Tomorrow morning, a helicopter flies over the skies of Gansu. This helicopter is carrying five fighters, two from Turbo squad, other two from El Tigro squad and a member from Shi Huang squad, Yu Tong. She was forced to participate in this by the commanders after she told the survivors about this location''s name, gave them her information and told them they''ll send a squad to their rescue. Now, the Organization procedure in terms of rescuing survivors was to give the location and tell them they''ll await their arrival. But now, since the fighters exist, they''ll send a handful of fighters with a vehicle and help said survivors escape.


    The fighters are all wearing their anti-biting armor, gas masks to not get infected from the air and not get bitten by any zombies on the neck zone. They all carry assault rifles, shotguns and one of the fighters is having on his hands an assault rifle. But a fighter will remain on the helicopter to use the machine gun installed on the left side of the helicopter.


    "Z''s all around the street." says the fighter mounting machine gun. "Holy shit. There''s many of them out there."


    "Proceed to clean them up." says the co-pilot to the fighter.


    "Yes, sir." says the fighter on the mounted machine gun, who proceeds to pull the trigger of the gun.


    A lot of zombies on the road have fallen on the ground due to the bullet rain coming from the helicopters. A lot of zombies have lost their limbs, heads and torsos, but most of them haven''t died, some crawling after their entire limbs were taken down. And those who were dead were either becoming food for other zombies, or future fertilizers, but most of them were eaten by the living corpses who could move. The fighter did not care to kill all the zombies, all he cared was to mow down as many zombies as possible to make their way to rescue the survivors.


    After about ten minutes, the helicopter lands in an empty spot, where the four fighters quickly get out and proceed to walk further while Yu Tong is talking on the walkie-talkie with the survivor.


    "We''ve landed." says Yu Tong in Chinese over the walkie-talkie. "Over."


    "I''ve heard the shots from outside." says the person on the other side in Chinese. "Is everyone alright? Over?"


    "Yeah. We''re all safe. We just cleaned the road from zombies. Where are you? Over."


    "Are the streets safe? Over."


    "They''re still zombies out there. Over."


    "I am in what used to be a restaurant that served Mongolian food. I am inside, with the other survivors. Over."


    "Be more specific."


    "It has a banner that says in Chinese, "Help. People inside.", that was made weeks ago by me and my son. Over."


    "I see." says Yu Tong. "We''re on our way. Over." and she closes the walkie-talkie while the group proceeds to move forward.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.


    After minutes of searching, the group of five fighters arrive at this supposed restaurant with a banner that is written in green paint. This banner is not exactly a banner, more like a bed cloth that is tied to the upper floors windows. No wonder not any helicopter saw the sign, the entire area is cramped and very hard to navigate in these corridors with zombies. Yu Tong goes to the door, she opens it and in front of her, there is a frightened man, with a baseball bat in his hand. The man was close to hitting her, but Yu Tong told her in Chinese.


    "Yu Tong. Special Fighter Division, Shi Huang."


    "Y-Yu Tong…" says the man, looking pale at the group of armed and armored fighters. "Oh my god…" the man falls on his knees and starts crying. "Thank goddess, you are here!"


    The other four people, who were all hiding, came from their hideout and greeted the fighters who had come to their rescue. The fighters look at the four people, and one of them sees something strange at them. Its skin shows a darker blue, something not normal for a human. That said fighter walks closer to that human, with a flashlight, and then, he gasps through his mask.


    "Jesus Christ!"


    "What is it Hank?" asks Ahmed walking to the fighter, then he also looks shocked at the human with a darker blue skin. "My goddess."


    "What''s the matter?" asks that person in Chinese.


    "No way." says Yu Tong walking closer to the two fighters, sees the darker blue person skin, and she gasps as well through her breathing mask. "A-An undead?"


    "A what?" asks the person with darker blue skin. "What is that?"


    The person doesn''t look to be an adult nor a younger adult, it looks like a kid that is at the beginning of teenage years. This said person in front of them has the entire skin colored in blue, has ravaged clothes that shows a few bite marks, brown hair and a pair of glasses to help him see and read.


    "What''s the matter?" asks a survivor of the fighter in Chinese, looking worried.


    "Yes." says the man named Machiko to Yu Tong in Chinese. "What is it with Enir?"


    "Enir." says Yu Tong. "I-Is an undead."


    "Undead?" asks two survivors.


    The survivors were looking at each other, confused about this, they don''t know what an undead means, then Yu Tong proceeds to tell the survivors about the undead, and how they are becoming an important resource to help them remake the world as it was before this apocalypse has happened. But she got cut short because of a fighter who tells them there are zombies coming toward them, and they quickly decide to get the important stuff from indie this building and run back to the helicopter.


    "Enir has to go a separate route." says Yu Tong in Chinese.


    "What?" asks Enir.


    "Why?" asks a survivor.


    The group of fighters and survivors sees a pack of zombies walking to them, the fighters quickly take out the guns and proceed to shoot the zombies. All of this pack dies immediately, then they continue moving.


    "That is the protocol," says Yu Tong to Erin. "Don''t blame us. We are following the protocol."


    "But I cannot go by myself." says Erin.


    "I''ll go with him." says a survivor, a woman.


    "I''ll escort you two." says Hank, a fighter from the El Tigro squad.


    "But-" says Machiko.


    "No, but. It''s settled." says Yu Tong to Machiko as they continue to move forward to the helicopter that awaits them.


    Arriving at the helicopter, the three survivors get in, while Hank, Erin and the woman who wanted to go with Erin depart ways, walking toward a nearby car. Hank breaks the window of the car with the gun, opens the door from the insides, gets on the driver seat, sees this car has some fuel remaining for an hour.


    "Is that car good, buddy?!" yells Ahmed from the helicopter, who is about to take off.


    "Yes!" yells Hank to Ahmed. "We''ll meet at the base later!"


    The helicopter proceeds to take off from there, then the car with Hank, the unknown woman and Erin, leave this infested town by taking a road that leads to the rural area since the main road is filled with cars and zombies. This group of three people will come back to the base, safely and without any issue, but on foot since the vehicle would run out of gas at a distance of ten kilometers away from the outpost.
