Chapter 196: The Silence of the White House

While the army was ready to go to Hefei to rescue the survivors in the city, the vanguard of the zombies on the Western Front had already met with the defensive army. There were more than 150,000 soldiers on the entire Western Front. Faced with tens of millions of zombies, the defense power of these 150,000 people was not weak. For China today, this is the last batch of zombies south of the Yangtze River. As long as these zombies are handled, Shanghai's safety can be absolutely guaranteed.

Xie Tian ordered the bombers to prepare, but did not immediately send the bombers. The main way to annihilate the enemy came from ground weapons, south of the Yangtze River, especially after the army looted the ammunition depots of several military regions in the southeast, the ground weapons had sufficient ammunition. Tanks and self-propelled artillery became the main weapons to defend zombies and carry out large-scale killing. Even if the zombies evolved to e3 or even e4, they would not cause any damage to the armored vehicles. With the dense firepower, millions of zombies could not approach the defense line at all.

Xie Tian sent the Saiyans to the front line of the Western Front. Here he saw the killing machine composed of humans exerting its maximum killing ability. While rushing through the zombies, the armored vehicles fired shells, self-propelled artillery, and the shooting ports in the tracked armored vehicles all venting large-caliber, powerful car-mounted machine gun bullets, and wherever the bullets went, the zombies fell to the ground one after another like cutting wheat.

Although there are many zombies, they do not have human IQ and have no tactics at all. Once attracted by gunfire, they will desperately rush towards the source of the gunfire. Tens of millions of zombies are very consciously rushing from the front to the defensive front built by humans. The soldiers only need to devote all their energy to killing zombies that are impacting the front, and there is no need to worry that zombies will detour to their flanks to launch an attack on them.

The defensive situation on the Western Front was very clear. Xie Tian ordered Song Hui to pay close attention to the situation of the zombies on the Western Front. Once the front line could not resist, the bombers at the airport immediately took off and bombed the zombie group intensively, but the plane was still not used, so try not to use it.

At the same time, Xie Tian himself took more than a thousand soldiers to the south bank of the Yangtze River in Tongling. The troops were stationed here, and the helicopters arrived quickly. Since the helicopters had no requirements for the terrain, all the helicopters stopped on the river embankment and waited for dawn to take off for Hefei.

The war on the Western Front was in full swing, and the defense war was fought until dawn, killing millions of zombies, but it was zero damage. With the support of powerful ground weapons, even the e3 could not be close to the front line of 200 meters. Xie Tian did not put his energy here. He repeatedly thought about the rescue operation tomorrow morning, and for the last time in the rescue office, he used a satellite phone to convey a message to the survivors in Hefei City: "Tomorrow morning, we will carry out uninterrupted rescue operations for the survivors in Hefei City. After the rescue begins, I hope all survivors can maintain good order. Due to limited transportation capacity, I hope everyone can consciously let the elderly, the weak, the disabled, the disabled, and the young, and the women get rescue first."

"In addition, the rescue bags I sent for you before did not need to bring the food back, but please take your satellite phone and walkie-talkie. We lack these equipment. After the rescue of Hefei, there are many other cities waiting for us. These equipment also play a very important role in the next rescue operation, so I hope everyone will bring the equipment with you and don't throw it away."

Xie Tian’s several requests were supported by the survivors of Hefei. Many men said on the satellite phone that they must stick to the end, and the last one was rescued, so that the elderly, children and women could leave first.

After making this last instruction, Xie Tian rushed to Tongling overnight. At dawn, Xie Tian in Tongling summoned all the helicopter pilots and said, "We will enter the city on time at 7 o'clock. Each of us will be responsible for a region. All survivors who are seen in their respective regions will immediately bring them back until they can no longer see the survivors in their respective regions. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" The pilot immediately shouted. For them, saving people was more fulfilling than killing zombies.

Xie Tian said again: "The speed must be fast and the highest efficiency must be used for rescue work. Our helicopters are limited, and there are at least thousands of people waiting for rescue in the city, so you have to save the most people in the shortest time."

At about seven o'clock, it was already dawn, and the helicopter pilots had already learned about the area location and approximate range they needed to be responsible for through the map. The planes took off one after another, flew towards the north bank of the Yangtze River, and began a vigorous rescue operation.

The first group of rescued survivors landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River at around 8:40. After the plane landed, the soldiers immediately stepped forward to take all the survivors inside. As soon as the people got off, the helicopter took off again and headed to Hefei for a second rescue. The rescued survivors were arranged by the soldiers to board the trucks that the army had already prepared and sent them back to Shanghai.

The medical staff in Shanghai have already made preparations and will conduct a comprehensive physical examination of the survivors who have recovered from Shanghai. If they are in good health, they will be arranged to be hospitalized immediately. If they are confirmed to be fine, they can be arranged directly in the housing that has been prepared for them and receive relief supplies to start their new life in Shanghai.

Confirm that the rescue in Tongling was proceeding in an orderly manner, Xie Tian immediately returned to Shanghai, went directly to the building of Oriental Satellite TV, and found the TV station's director Sun Jin.

"Old Sun." Xie Tian said as soon as he met him, "Let your reporter go to Century Jiayuan. All the survivors rescued from Hefei are arranged there, and the first batch of survivors have also moved in. You can take a picture of the general situation, and find the list of these people, and then play it on TV to see if there are any relatives and friends in the city."

"Okay." Sun Jin nodded immediately and said, "This is a big deal. If they can find relatives here just after they come to Shanghai, it will be a great thing."

"This is also the biggest practical use of TV media now." Xie Tian said: "The people who want you to do things more seriously and more efficiently, because there will be more and more survivors, so don't get fucked by then."

"This is natural." Sun Jin promised: "We will record everyone's information and broadcast it on TV."

...

The rescue work was very smooth. In a whole day, more than ten helicopters sent nearly 3,000 people to the south of the Yangtze River. It was not until dark. Now the survivors in Hefei have enough food to support for a period of time. For safety reasons, Xie Tian did not ask the army to carry out rescue operations overnight. The remaining people can continue to rescue after dawn tomorrow until all of them are rescued.

That night, the staff of Oriental Satellite TV announced all the survivors who had arrived in Shanghai on TV and played them in a scrolling manner. At the same time, the TV station added five hotlines to be interrogated. Among the survivors in Shanghai, many of them discovered their long-lost relatives or friends who had been missing for a long time through TV programs. Suddenly, thousands of survivors gathered in front of the gate of Century Jiayuan to find their relatives and friends.

The TV station did not miss such a good opportunity to broadcast the situation in front of Century Jiayuan. Not only Shanghai, but also Zhangshu and Chongzuo survivors, but all survivors with satellite receivers can see this chaotic but extremely warm scene through TV.

Many people found their immediate family members here. In most cases, their children went to school and work in Yanjing. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, they lost contact with their families. In the following days, they followed the government from Yanjing to Shanghai. After finally settled down, they did not dare to ask for a chance to see their families. However, today's TV shows surprised them very much. When they saw their relatives' names and ID numbers appear on TV, they almost immediately rushed to Century Jiayuan.

Although the rescue in Hefei is not over yet, it seems that the entire rescue process is very successful. Xie Tian began to think about large cities across the country. His next step is to rescue cities near the north bank of the Yangtze River. The rescue still follows the experience of Hefei's rescue. More than a thousand workers convened by Pudong Airport also began to make rescue packages non-stop. In order to ensure that there are enough parachutes, Xie Tian specially sent troops to a paratrooper base in the Yangcheng Military Region and searched for tens of thousands of sets of parachute equipment back.

...

The rescue in Hefei lasted for two days, and more than 8,700 survivors were rescued, and these survivors were brought to Shanghai safely. Half of them found their relatives or friends in Shanghai. With the end of the rescue in Hefei, Xie Tian also began to carry out the second step of the plan to further expand the scope and scale of the rescue. At the same time, the war on the Western Front became more and more relaxed, and most of the zombies were slaughtered in a concentrated manner and had entered the final finishing work. Xie Tian urgently allocated 5,000 tons of gasoline to transport it to the camphor tree to completely burn the zombie corpses and collect the crystals of the zombies.

Xie Tian no longer conceals the crystals of zombies. Instead, he asked the soldiers to search for them on a large scale after burning out the zombies. The more than 100,000 crystals were found, and all of them were sent to Shanghai. Xie Tian gathered more than 200 awakened people across the country and gave them a systematic explanation of how to evolve and how to use crystals. Then, Xie Tian distributed some of the crystals and occupied the campus of a middle school in Pudong New District, which was reserved for the training and evolution of these awakened people.

Three days later, the entire Western Front war was completely over. Xie Tian could responsibly tell the survivors such an exciting news through the TV media: there are no large number of zombies in the area south of the Yangtze River, and there is no group of zombies with a number of more than a thousand. For the defensive forces composed of 200,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of militia reserves, small-scale zombies no longer have any threats. This means that if zombies in the north want to pose a threat to Shanghai, they must hike to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and bypass the source of the Yangtze River from the snow-capped mountains. This is basically impossible, and Shanghai finally has absolute security.

But at this time, the warships sent by the Americans also arrived in Guam without Xie Tian’s knowledge.

This time, the Americans did not only go to Guam, but passed several American military bases along the way, but there was no pleasant discovery, especially those military bases on land, most of which were occupied by large numbers of zombies. It was a dream to get supplies from the base. After repeated attacks, the Americans gradually believed that only Guam was their last hope, because Guam is an island, with only a few hundred thousand zombies on it, and they still had thousands of tons of aviation fuel. At that time, they could send planes to bomb Guam from the local area, and then soldiers landed from Guam. In this way, Guam could be recaptured from the zombies, seize Guam's weapons and supplies, and recapture Guam's warships, fighter jets, and more than tens of thousands of tons of aviation fuel reserves.

Four American warships were preparing to dock in the north of Guam, so that they could more clearly observe the current situation in Guam. However, their warships at this moment had no combat power. Apart from the navy that controlled the warships, they did not even have a professional who could control radars. Ninety percent of the entire fleet were not naval officers and soldiers, most of them were army and survivors, so they had no idea how the dangers around the police, including the dangers hidden in the water, including submarines, mines, etc.

Four warships formed a square formation side by side to head towards the coastline. Just as everyone was excited about approaching Guam, the sudden bursts of people were shocked.

There was a violent explosion at the bottom of the bows of the two warships in the front. Many people standing on the side of the ship accidentally fell into the sea because of the violent shaking caused by the explosion. Some of them reacted quickly and quickly grabbed the cable and climbed up. However, those who were slow had no time to get on the ship and were snatched away by creatures in the sea.

The two warships suffered varying degrees of damage. One of the ship's power systems exploded and a large hole with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters was blown up on the side of the bow of the other ship. Although the sealing compartment was closed in time, it was impossible for the two ships to drive back to the United States.

In addition to frightened, the Americans hurriedly gathered all the people on the two damaged ships onto the other two ships. At the same time, the Americans, who were still scared, began to think of a question: How could there be mines near Guam?

There are many pilots who have served in Guam. The American pilots are basically domestic and foreign rotation systems. A pilot will have a few years to stay in China and a few years to go to foreign military bases. Most of the pilots who come with the fleet have served in Guam. They understand that Guam will never be able to place mines in the waters entering the port in peacetime. The United States has not even equipped mine-burning boats in Guam, so this must have been deliberately done by people from other countries after the outbreak of the zombie virus.

The fleet did not dare to continue moving forward because they did not have the ability to sweep mines, so they were not sure how many mines were waiting for them in the nearby waters, so they immediately contacted the White House and reported the situation here to the White House through satellite phones, and asked for the White House's next instructions.

The White House was in full blown! Obama ordered all politicians to go to the White House for an emergency defense meeting late at night. The United States has only hit others since World War II and has never been beaten by others. Now, mines have been laid near its military base. This is almost no different from the blows suffered in the local area. Who did it? What is happening in Guam at this moment is what Obama cares about the most.

Obama had already thought of the worst possibility, that is, Guam had been looted without his knowledge, but Obama was unwilling to believe anything, and he was even more unwilling to get such a result. If this is true, then those who receive Guam's supplies will have the ability to launch an attack on the United States. Even if the Americans know which country did this, it will probably be difficult to make an effective attack. Now the United States is barely able to make do with itself and attack other countries, especially those who obtain their own military equipment, is basically equivalent to a fool.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Obama told Guam with a pale face that all the politicians in the United States who are currently qualified to enter the White House. After this situation came out, everyone was so scared that they could not speak. For a long time, you looked at me and I looked at you, but none of them took the lead in breaking this silence.

Obama saw the pessimism on everyone's face. It was like you bought a beach villa in Hawaii. When you wanted to go back to this villa, you found that there were traps all around the villa. At this time, you can't deceive yourself that others came to your villa and just dug some traps, but did not steal things from your house.

No matter who released the mine, they must have obtained the supplies from Guam!

The Secretary of State wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. She was a woman, but she was an excellent female politician who was consciously very courageous and skilled. She had seen too many major events, but none of them could be compared with this.
