I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

"There's hope now."

The fully armed military appeared, Fang Zhan clenched his fist, his expression highly excited. Just moments ago, he was truly plunged into despair when his fellow survivors, who were jointly resisting the zombies, were frightened and dropped their weapons to flee.

In the absence of assistance.

The defense line of Qingshui Town would surely be breached soon.

And in this moment of despair, the mysterious fully armed military appeared, drawing the zombies' attention and thereby alleviating the pressure faced by Qingshui Town.

Fang Zhan looked at the situation in the distance.

Although there were many zombies, in front of the fully armed military, everything seemed so insignificant.

"Squad one, quickly clear the zombies on the left, squad two clear the zombies on the right, squad three fall back and let the tanks crush them."

A middle-aged man was issuing orders.

His name was Liu Tao, the leader of this resistance army. In peacetime, he was a soldier in the war zone, when the apocalypse broke out during a visit home, which shocked him greatly.

But his strong psychological quality allowed him to quickly react.

Perhaps heaven needed a savior to appear, allowing him to escape danger many times, eventually meeting many like-minded people during his escape, forming a powerful resistance team.

In this process, some people died in the struggle against the zombies.

New survivors also joined in.

Everyone's goal was simple, to resist the apocalypse and strive for future hope.

"Roger."

"Roger."

Squad one and squad two began to gather and clear the zombies on both sides, while squad three retreated, letting the advancing tanks gradually approach to form an impenetrable steel torrent.

Pshh!

Pshh!

The tanks they operated had already run out of ammunition, only able to crush the zombies in torrents. In the previous breakout battle, all the ammunition was used up.

In this apocalypse without resupply, every bit used is a bit less.

At this moment, the zombies crushed by the tanks were mangled, and the warriors following behind the tanks looked coldly at the blood and flesh on the ground, with some zombies crushed only halfway.

But the zombies' vitality was strong, even if only half of their bodies were crushed, they were still alive.

So at these times, the warriors following behind would finish off the zombies with gunshots.

"Grr Grr"

"Grr Grr"

Ordinary zombies don't have brains; facing an unstoppable tank torrent, they wouldn't dodge, nor think of attacking from the side, but instead recklessly charge forward to fight the tanks to the death.

So the end result was being crushed into a meat patty.

Before long.

The zombies were cleared out.

Liu Tao looked at the situation before him, nodding with satisfaction. Ordinary zombies posed truly no threat to them.

Suddenly.

He looked into the distance, where a zombie was staring over here. Liu Tao frowned slightly at this, wanting the sniper to kill the escaped zombie, but just as he wanted to speak, the zombie turned away instead of rushing towards them.

Left instead.

"A strange zombie."

Liu Tao squinted his eyes, looking at the disappeared silhouette, thoughtlessly, then looked up.

"Hello."

He greeted with a smile.

Fang Zhan asked, "Are you soldiers?"

Liu Tao replied, "We are the resistance army, consisting of soldiers and civilians, gathered together to combat zombies."

Fang Zhan looked at Liu Tao and others below, knowing what Liu Tao said was true. Without further questioning, he opened Qingshui Town's defense line and let them in.

After all, they were fully armed, and if they had ill intentions towards Qingshui Town, what could be done? With their abilities, they couldn't be resisted at all.

...

In Qingshui Town.

Fang Zhan received them, while the town's women busied themselves with food.

This group of the resistance army had always been fighting zombies outside, rarely getting to eat a decent meal. Now, having come to Qingshui Town, still striving against the apocalypse, Fang Zhan naturally had to take good care of them.

"Are there any safe areas outside now?" Fang Zhan asked.

They had always stayed in Qingshui Town without any contact with the outside world, naturally hoping more people could survive, but he knew it was genuinely difficult to survive in the apocalypse.

"There should be, but I've never encountered any." Liu Tao remained hopeful for the future, although he hadn't encountered them, he hoped there would be safe bases somewhere he didn't know.

"Hope so."

Fang Zhan also expressed helplessness, unsure of when this apocalypse would end.

Letting it continue like this, mankind truly had no hope.

Liu Tao looked around, then said, "Your place is really nice, surrounded by water on three sides, zombies can't swim, allowing for advance or retreat. Even without us, using the water's advantage, you could have retreated safely."

Fang Zhan chuckled bitterly, "Not really, though we're surrounded by water on three sides, we only have small fishing boats. Even if we retreat to fishing boats, the end wouldn't be much better."

Liu Tao said, "Even so, there's at least a chance to survive; as long as there's a chance, there's hope, because many people don't even have hope."

Fang Zhan remained silent, eventually nodded.

Outside.

Voices came.

"Ah, so satisfying, finally able to eat meat, eating to the point I almost want to cry."

"It's so delicious."

The women of Qingshui Town had already prepared the food. This resistance army had always been fighting zombies in the apocalypse, how could they have eaten such a hearty meal?

Such meals could only be imagined in peacetime.

Liu Tao looked at his seated comrades, then turned to Fang Zhan, saying, "It's unnecessary to be so lavish."

He saw that each person's bowl had braised pork, and there was a bowl of chicken soup beside them, such meals were truly lavish, especially in the apocalypse, exceedingly extravagant.

Fang Zhan said, "There's no need to think about extravagance, they've always been fighting zombies outside, they must eat well. If not for you, Qingshui Town surely couldn't withstand the zombie attack; keeping this stuff is just waste."

During the conversation.

A woman brought food to Liu Tao.

Looking at the colorful and aromatic meal, Liu Tao didn't hesitate, eating eagerly, shouting internally, this is real life!

The nutrients eaten during the apocalypse, what were they?

Probably not even as good as pig feed!

"Brother Fang..."

The few survivors who fled earlier lowered their heads, feeling deeply ashamed, and approached Fang Zhan.

Their actions were vile.

At this moment, they deeply realized their mistake.

They hoped to receive Brother Fang's forgiveness.

Fang Zhan looked at them calmly.

To say he wasn't angry would be false.

If not for this resistance army's appearance, would Qingshui Town still be here?

Definitely not.

Therefore, Fang Zhan truly doesn't want to forgive them easily.

Liu Tao watched the situation unfold silently, understanding the circumstances.

What's the worst thing in the apocalypse?

Surely those who flee in battle.

They are the worst, likely causing a total annihilation due to their escape.
