Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Yezi's Trip to The Port
The end of the year was less than a week away. Xiaoyun was put onto office duty as Yuqi and Yueyue went away to start planning the celebration and the stage for it.
As Xiaoyun was was reading the record from the accountant, someone knocked on the door.
When Xiaoyun opened the door, it was Yezi standing outside.
"Hey Yezi, what brought you here today?" Xiaoyun sat back down on the office chair.
"Xiaoyun I need to tell you this. I rescued a person who was an dock worker at the city's main port. He told me that there is a massive amount of raw material in the port, but due to the outbreak it was put on pause." Yezi explained.
"Hm, wait. From here to the port is like almost thirty minute drive, not to mention it is in the other side of the city outskirt. Are you going to drive around the city?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Yes, that what we're planning to do. We're going to drive the trucks that found last week. But we need more soldiers to pull this off, that why I'm here to ask for your help."
"How much do you need?" Xiaoyun asked.
"Around two hundred soldiers on top of my fifty rescue team, so it will be a two hundred fifty people operation" Yezi stated his request.
"What! That way too much. How much zombies are even there?" Xiaoyun faced look in shock as Yezi finished stating it.
"The port apparently have only few hundred workers, so there's wouldn't too much zombies there. But I need the soldiers to help me put the material inside the trucks and stand guard in case more zombies come." Yezi pleaded.
"But that's almost two-thirds of our soldiers." Xiaoyun pushed back.
"We still have the militia. Beside we have scouted almost the entire city outskirt now. There's only the occasional zombies horde coming out of the city.
Also its only going to be a same day missions. We will go in the morning and be back in the afternoon." Yezi argued back.
"Fine, I will allocate it... how about you just take all of them. I feel like you are going to need it." Xiaoyun threw away the paper and bring out a new one.
"Thank you!" Yezi bowed down in gratitude.
"No problem, we are brother you know. Remember, safety first." Xiaoyun writes authorization for three hundred fifty soldiers and signed his signature on the paper.
"Here, you can go to Yiming with this paper." Xiaoyun hands the paper to Yezi.
Yezi thanks Xiaoyun again and left with the paper.
"Hm... maybe its time to expand the soldier amount again." Xiaoyun pulled out the records of the town.
"The town is currently 1432 people, with 350 soldiers counting Yezi's rescue team... That a 24% of the town fully time soldiers. Now combined with the 500 part time militia and reserves, that's almost 60% of people in the military." Xiaoyun rejected the idea of expanding more.
"I need more people... but where can I increase it drastically? Incentivize more birth? No, it takes almost eighteen years for a fully adult, that way too long."
"Other towns? Hm... maybe I should start sending make a foreign affairs department to invite other town to join? But most of them are in the countryside, they wouldn't even want to live so close to the city." Xiaoyun disregarded that idea as well.
"That leave me with only two option... the city or the military. No, both are practically impossible. The military is its own organization, and the city is full of zombies. I can't even send anyone inside without entire horde chasing them out." Xiaoyun ran out of ideas.
"I wonder if there is even any survivor left in the city. Almost six month since the outbreak, how can anyone still have food left and evade the zombies? Whatever, why am I thinking this" Xiaoyun shook his head and went back to work.

The next day, Yezi with five trucks and almost twelve buses full of soldiers left the town.
"Xiaoyun, why didn't you tell us you are send Yezi to this mission?" Yuqi asked as she had returned back to the office.
"If I told you that, you would of never let me sign that paper to let him." Xiaoyun replied.
"Whatever. If anything goes wrong, its going to be your fault."
"I'm sure its going to be fine. Its not even a overnight mission. By the way, where's Yueyue?"
"She's too tired from last night after certain somebody went a little too hard on her. She's still catching some sleep, she coming later." Yuqi reminded him.
"Hey, not my fault she decided to wear stocking and taunted me with it." Xiaoyun defended himself.
"Ah, so some pervert's kink is stocking. Look like me and mom should start wearing them as well." Yuqi laughed.
"You gonna regret doing that tonight." Xiaoyun threaten.
"Yeah yeah whatever." Yuqi dismissed the threat as she went back to work.

Meanwhile, Yezi had drove for an hour instead of the originally planned thirty minute due to the truck being much slower than he expected.
Still, they had finally arrived at the front entrance of the port.
After clearing few zombies standing outside the gate, the soldier all got off the bus.
Yezi explained the plan to the soldiers. Then the soldiers all stood in several lines at the front entrance.
Yezi takes out a megaphone and turned it to max volume.
"You bastards! Come to the front if you want to get die!" As soon as Yezi yelled out, zombies started running towards the front entrance.
Few of the soldiers took out an makeshift grenade that had been made with the TNT at base and threw it over the gate as hordes of zombies started pushing the gates.
After a loud explosion, most of the zombies were blown to pieces. With the one that survived shot dead by the soldiers.
"Everyone move in, remember the plan." Yezi started moving through the fallen gate as some of the soldier went back inside the trucks and buses and started driving it inside the port.
After driving it to the middle of the port, the bus and truck stopped.
"Everyone, split into assigned group." Yezi spoke through the walkie talkie as soldiers got into group of four and starting going in different directions.
After exploring for almost an hour looking through containers docked at the port, they finally found the one they looking for.
"Everyone come back to the center, we have found the payload, over." Yezi spoke through the walkie talkie as his unit started walked back to the center.
As Yezi arrived at the middle, suddenly the walkie talkie spoke out.
"This is captain of unit three, we need backup. There's a mutant zombie up north. Our rifle can't penetrate through zombies hea——ssss." The walkie talkie was cut short into static noises.
"Shit." Yezi had a bad feeling.
"Unit one to twenty, switch to your K98K. Unit fifty to sixty, switch to your AKM. Everyone else, ready their rifle and be ready to precision fire." Yezi spoke through the walkie talkie.
As the soldiers ran toward the northern part of the port, they finally can see the mutant zombies.
It was an almost three meter tall with inhuman amount of muscle at the arms. So much muscle that its have to walking with both its hand and legs.
The soldiers could see the head of their fallen comrade and the bloods being splatter all over the floor as the mutant chews on their bodies.
"Everyone spread out and precision fire!" Yezi was the first one to recover from the shocking scene and yelled out.
The soldiers came back to their senses from the shock and opened fire at the mutant's head as they spread out.
The mutant quickly covered his head with his arm as if he know that his head is his weakness.
As the mutant slowly moved forward, Yezi thought of an plan.
"Everyone who has explosive left, throw at it!" Yezi yelled out.
Five of the soldiers who still had makeshift grenade threw it at the mutant.
The grenade landed right on top of the mutant's head as it exploded.
"Everyone hold your fire." Yezi signaled to stop.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, everyone could see the mutant still standing there. But both his arms were now severely damage as it falls to the ground.
"Everyone fire! Full auto!" Yezi yelled out again.
The soldier immediately all opened fire at the mutant as all the bullet started dented the mutant's head more and more until few of the bullet was able to break through its skin and penetrate right through its head.
The mutant still stood there, but as more bullet fired, it got pushed all the way to the floor on its back.
Everyone stopped their rifle as the mutant looked dead.
"Unit fifty and fifty one, go check on it." Yezi commanded.
The two unit carefully approached the mutant body as they put their finger in the trigger.
