Chapter 980: Chapter 423
Baldy explained: "You are to secure the safe passage, protecting people and resources. Your task is very important; if there are any hidden zombies, Shana and the transport personnel could be attacked. Here is a roll of glow-in-the-dark tape; you need to lay out a safe route from the entry to the helicopter’s pathway."
Snow Egg asked, "Are we going to operate at night?"
The bald man nodded, "During the day, zombies have far vision and are sensitive to moving objects. We are equipped with night vision devices, which can give us a considerable advantage in night battles."
Maya said, "Leave two people on the first floor to ensure a smooth passage. Why not clear out all the zombies on the first floor?"
The bald man replied, "The speakers only work for a limited time, and our ammunition is limited as well. It’s not a big deal from the third floor to the first, take control of the stairs, block the fire doors, and that’s it. The first floor doesn’t have fire doors, and we need to secure a 70-meter-long safe passage to the stairs leading to the basement. In my plan, the first round is to shoot with all pistols at once, clear the zombies near the passage under the cover of the speakers, then leave two to patrol, using pistols equipped with silencers to ensure the safety of the passage."
Maya said, "I think Lin Wu can join the assault team."
The bald man replied, "You might be misunderstanding. After our discussion, we think the pressure is the highest on the first floor. Compared to pistols, we are better at using rifles. Therefore, keeping Lin Wu on the first floor is the best choice. In addition to Lin Wu, we need your suggestions for someone else on the first floor. Requirements: proficiency with pistols, stable shooting, concentrated attention, and good at adapting to circumstances."
Lin Meng volunteered out of habit: "Me."
The bald man looked at Maya, and Maya evaluated her team’s resources, with only Xiao Wu and Lin Meng left. Xiao Wu is a policeman who has received professional pistol shooting training. Lin Meng has undergone intensive practical pistol training in winter.
Lin Wu said, "Since it’s dangerous, let Lin Meng do it. I would feel sad for several minutes if Xiao Wu died."
The bald man and others didn’t understand, but Maya made the decision: "Alright, Lin Meng then."
The participants in this battle were ten people from the Railway Bridge Base: Lin Meng, Lin Wu, Maya, Little Knife, and Snow Egg, all from the Shadow Team. From the Veteran Base: Little Girl, Sharpshooter, the bald man, Xiaoji, and Xiao Zhuan. The operation time is tomorrow night at eight o’clock.
After the combat meeting ended, Shana took the people from Veteran Base to rest in the guest carriage, where she held a private conversation with the bald man outside the carriage for almost two hours before they said goodnight to each other.
...
The next day, everyone was busy. The combat personnel were conducting simulated combat in the warehouse at the end of the handcart track. The non-combat personnel were responsible for logistics support, and in addition to food, they also turned washed zombie clothes into strips of cloth to enhance the combat personnel’s defensive capacity.
As the team leader, the bald man supervised and provided guidance on everyone’s understanding of their positions.
First, he expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the rooftop team, thinking that Little Knife and Snow Egg were not coordinating well, too separate, although having the idea to risk themselves to protect each other, they lacked the consciousness of mutual protection.
"Don’t worry about what Little Knife sees or what she’s shooting at. Consider that the sound of Little Knife’s gun might attract hidden zombies. If you keep your focus in front, who is responsible for covering the rear? Trust in Little Knife, and likewise, Little Knife, you should also trust Snow Egg. But this doesn’t mean you can’t ask for help. When facing an adverse situation, decisively and immediately call on your partner to join the fight."
"In the clearing work, one should be the lead and the other the support, with support taking up the role of being on guard and providing assistance; don’t open any cabinets, that’s the lead’s job, restrain your curiosity."
Regarding the two-person combination on the first floor, the bald man had mixed comments.
"Lin Wu, that kick was very good, instantly opening up the field of vision and shooting range," the bald man criticized, "Lin Meng, after being knocked down, you should defend the front immediately, don’t stand up, and definitely don’t spend a long time looking back at your teammate. You have to believe in one thing: if he kicked you, he definitely had a reason to do so."
