An officer with a very embarrassed look and dress, limped on one leg and climbed up the ruins of the city gate with difficulty.

"General, I have a preliminary inventory. If you remove the scratches or bites from zombies, we have about a hundred brothers who can move..." The lame officer raised his injured arm with difficulty and saluted, reporting the results of the inventory to the veteran general.

"Is there only a little left..." The old general looked down at the ruins. Under the ruins, the surviving soldiers were split into several teams, searching for something in the ruins. Unfortunately, except for the discovery of several zombies that were not dead, there were only the corpses of comrades and civilians.

"How are civilian casualties?" The old general's tone was full of desolation.

"Less than five hundred... half of them were wounded by collapsed buildings. Those injured or killed by zombies... have been dealt with on the spot..." The officer subconsciously looked at the huge fire not far away, where corpses that could turn into zombies were burning on the spot.

The old general sighed helplessly. The garrison army, which originally had more than one thousand people, lost more than 90% in just one night, and only 500 people were left for more than 3,000 civilians. The old general's eyes that had lost their spirit could no longer see any hope of survival. This Hekou Town is over.

The officer was also silent and didn't know how to answer, but he had to continue reporting: "Those wealthy businessmen ran in the front last night, so..."

Needless to say, the next thing can be guessed, the person who ran in the front last night was the first to be smashed into meat pie by ostrich zombies. The old general sighed again: "More than 3,000 civilians, only one hundred people left..." In fact, the old general never cared about those wealthy businessmen, but those civilians who supported the army. But then again, if it weren't for the financial support of those wealthy businessmen, it would be difficult for them to gather so many civilians to support the army.

The old general silently took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but the pack of cigarettes was soaked in the heavy rain last night and could not be lit for a long time. He had to throw them aside helplessly and said, "Go and check the warehouse to see if there is anything else available. All of us have removed the hydropower station."

The only buildings in Hekou Town that have not been damaged are the hydropower station and the military factory next to the hydropower station. Because these two buildings are the purpose of Lawrence, even if he lost his mind and released his death later, he deliberately avoided these two buildings. Therefore, guarding these two buildings is the only hope at present, but food production has been forced to stop. Once the inventory is exhausted, I don’t know how many days it can support it.

Suddenly, a loud gunshot sound came from a high place, and everyone was immediately facing a great enemy. They picked up anything at hand that could be used as weapons and climbed up the collapsed wall. There was no way, the garrisons of the war last night had exhausted all their ammunition, and guns without ammunition were not as useful as a stick.

"What's the situation?" The old general stood up suddenly as if he was electrocuted, but he almost lost his balance because he was too fierce. Fortunately, the guards who had been following him helped him in time. At this time, if Lawrence came back, the garrisons had no room for resistance.

"It seems... it's two zombies..." The soldier who had just shot the gun replied stammeringly, because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly whether it was a zombie or a human, but the soldiers who had become frightened birds could no longer bear any fright.

"General! It's the man who lives at the mouth of the Bala River!" Another soldier holding a telescope said loudly on the wall. However, he didn't say it well. The other guards became even more nervous. The guns in their hands had loaded the bullets. Even after experiencing the incident last night, these garrison troops still did not give up their guard against that person.

"Put down the gun. If there was no one last night, we wouldn't have been left with one..."

Since the old general had spoken, the soldiers had to put down the gun in their hands and looked at the figures in the distance with complicated eyes. Most people also knew that if the person had not intervened last night, there would be no chance that this Hekou Town would have been breathing at this moment.

Of course, that person was Xiao Chu. He was still wearing a big ragged cloak and a big bamboo hat. This is a characteristic of Vietnam. He was also a girl wearing a white Odai, who was next to him. Xiao Bai, who was one of the three new helpers. Because both the cereal and Xiao Bu were left in the air hut by Xiao Chu, they were not assured that Xiao Chu would go out by himself, so Xiao Bu suggested that Xiao Chu bring Xiao Bai with him. Although Xiao Chu didn't know how powerful Xiao Bai was, since Xiao Bu recommended, he would probably not be weak. He was definitely much stronger than the two big black and white ones who could scare people. Fortunately, they were still predators.

At this moment, Xiao Chu was muttering that he had brought Xiaobai with him, otherwise he would have died very ugly. At the moment when the gun was fired just now, Xiaobai, who was originally following Xiao Chu, suddenly walked around in front of Xiao Chu. After the bullet penetrated into her body, it disappeared like a mud bull entering the sea. Then Xiao Bai retreated behind Xiao Chu as if nothing had happened, but Xiao Chu was sweating in his head. Although his combat ability is no longer comparable to that of the past, it does not mean that he is not afraid of bullets.

"General Hu, it's great to see you." Walking to the old general, Xiao Chu greeted the old general Hu Zhigang under the 'gaze' of dozens of guns. It turned out that they knew each other.

"You guys, put down your guns!" The old general shouted loudly again. The guards had already put down their guns just now, but when they saw clearly that the Audai woman following Xiao Chu was actually a zombie, they involuntarily raised the guns in their hands.

Xiao Chu smiled helplessly, pointed to Xiaobai behind him and said, "Don't worry, she won't hurt anyone."

The old general looked at Xiaobai behind Xiao Chu with a complicated expression. After a long time, he turned to Xiao Chu and said, "This place can no longer provide us with protection. You can leave here too. The Nazis will definitely come back." It seems that although Xiao Chu has not had a harmonious relationship with the garrison army, he is quite polite with the old general. Speaking of which, Xiao Chu took the initiative to move outside the city, and most of the garrison army was also in awe of him. If Xiao Chu had to live in the city at that time, the garrison army would have no choice but to treat him. After all, just one cereal is enough for these garrison soldiers to drink a pot.

"Then, what do you have?" Xiao Chu looked around. The morale of the garrison, who was only less than a hundred people, was extremely depressed. If Lawrence came back, even without the broken city zombie, he could still easily kill everyone here.

"We? Now we can only avoid the hydropower station first, and there is only such a complete building left in Hekou Town..." The old general's words showed a hint of desolation. When the garrison army defended this small city, it was a huge price to pay. After that, although a large number of zombies attacked almost every day, this small army had to be defended by this small city for a year, which had to be said to be a miracle. But unexpectedly, this extremely precious human gathering place still did not escape the fate of being destroyed.

Xiao Chu frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "If I can find a way to help you stay here for a few days, I wonder if you would do me a favor?"

"Can you keep here?" A glimmer of surprise suddenly burst out in the dim eyes of the old general. Xiao Chu's words made him feel a little hope.
