After last night's zombie attack, everyone was as tense as a bowstring.
To prevent another surprise attack by zombies at night, Platoon Leader Liu specifically chose a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and also dug many trenches.
This time, without hesitation, he mobilized all the able-bodied young men to work together. Wang Bin also brought Li Dazhu and others to help. Everyone worked hard to ensure their survival, and it didn’t take long to complete the fortifications.
To avoid attracting zombies' attention at night, Platoon Leader Liu ordered that no bonfires be lit and no loud talking.
After witnessing the horror of last night's zombies, no one dared to object.
After arranging everything, Platoon Leader Liu walked up to Wang Bin and said seriously, "Are you satisfied?"
Wang Bin looked up at him, smiled, and said, "Sit down, you've made great progress."
Hearing Wang Bin's praise, Platoon Leader Liu's eyes welled up with tears.
He didn’t know why, but after being reprimanded by Wang Bin, he felt as if Wang Bin was like Company Commander Zhao, making him want to prove himself in front of Wang Bin. Proving himself in front of Wang Bin was equivalent to proving himself in front of Company Commander Zhao.
But he also understood from Wang Bin's words that there was still room for improvement, and he hadn’t yet met Wang Bin's expectations.
"Could you tell me where I still fall short?"
"You did well in mobilizing the civilians, but defense shouldn't be left entirely to you. I noticed that quite a few people in the crowd have guns. I think you should organize them. Also, even if some young and strong people don’t have guns, you can give them sharpened wooden sticks as weapons. That way, even if zombies attack, at least we have the power to fight back!"
"Oh, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for the reminder!"
Hearing Wang Bin's words, Platoon Leader Liu suddenly realized and quickly stood up to mobilize the young and strong.
Soon, Platoon Leader Liu had mobilized over a hundred young men, taking them to the woods to cut trees and make wooden sticks. They also inserted some sharpened sticks into the ground at an angle, ready to be used if zombies attacked.
By the time they finished, it was gradually getting dark.
Platoon Leader Liu divided the organized young men into two groups: one with guns and one with wooden sticks. He also selected some men and women with good stamina from the crowd to gather everyone together in case of a zombie attack to prevent panic and accidents.

Seeing Platoon Leader Liu's arrangements, Wang Bin was very satisfied. This not only strengthened the team but also reduced the need to divert forces to take care of the civilians.
To survive, everyone had to unite.
People either sat or lay down, gathered on a not-too-large hill.
The hill had steep slopes on three sides, making it impossible for zombies to climb. They only needed to defend a narrow passage.
Wang Bin lay on the grass, gazing at the starry sky. The stars were bright tonight, twinkling beautifully.
In the past, due to studying and playing games, he hardly ever looked at the stars. But now, with plenty of time at night, it was hard not to look.
Perhaps everyone was scared by last night's events, and many didn’t dare to sleep, just staring blankly at the stars.
But after ten o'clock, many people became sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
Before the apocalypse, ten o'clock at night was the time when young people were having the most fun. But now, with no entertainment, people gradually developed the habit of going to bed early.
If you’re hungry, going to bed early is a good way to avoid hunger and conserve stamina.
"Zombies are attacking!"
Around one in the morning, a soldier on watch suddenly shouted loudly, waking everyone from their sleep.
"Hurry, everyone to defense! Those with guns, go to the sides of the passage. Those without, throw trees down to block the passage!" Platoon Leader Liu, upon hearing of the zombie attack, quickly organized everyone for defense.
Having already planned the division of labor, everyone moved in an orderly manner.
Women and children were terrified upon hearing of the zombie attack, but were quickly calmed by those organized by Platoon Leader Liu, and they spontaneously helped carry wood.
When making the wooden sticks, Platoon Leader Liu had arranged to cut many trees and place them on the hill. If zombies attacked, they would throw the wood down the passage to block them. If no zombies attacked, the wood would remain, saving them the trouble of clearing it when they left.
Platoon Leader Liu fired a flare, revealing that there were fewer zombies attacking this time than last, but still at least ten or twenty thousand.
On the plains, they would have no choice but to flee, but now with the natural barrier, they could attempt to defend.
"Open fire!"
At Platoon Leader Liu's command, everyone immediately opened fire.
A volley of gunfire brought down a large number of zombies, but more swarmed forward.
After more than ten minutes of shooting, everyone was running low on bullets.
Wang Bin, having distributed many bullets earlier, now had only a little over a thousand rounds in his system space, which was not enough to make a significant impact. He quickly went to find Platoon Leader Liu.
"Platoon Leader Liu, we can’t keep firing. We need to conserve some bullets!"
"But there are still many zombies coming. What should we do?"
"It's simple. We take turns using wooden sticks to attack the zombies climbing up."
"That's the only way! Cease fire, cease fire, everyone cease fire, and grab wooden sticks to hold the passage!"
Hearing Platoon Leader Liu's order, everyone stopped firing and went to the back to get wooden sticks.
They stood on either side of the passage and behind the woodpile, fiercely attacking the incoming zombies.
Zombies surrounded the hill densely, rushing towards everyone through the passage in waves.
Zombies fell in batches, only to be replaced by more, filling the passage with countless zombie corpses. The zombies behind climbed over the dead bodies, continuously advancing.
The people in the passage kept retreating, throwing down wood to block the way. Although this slowed the zombies' advance, they kept pushing forward.
An hour later, many were so exhausted that they could barely lift their arms, yet the zombies kept coming.
Seeing the exhaustion of those at the front, the elderly and women in the back voluntarily stepped forward to replace them, allowing them to rest for a while.
They didn’t refuse, giving up their positions.
After resting for over ten minutes, the men returned to the front to fight the zombies. Seeing the relentless advance of the zombies, people began to fear, as the passage was nearing its end. If they couldn’t stop the zombies by then, the zombies would overrun the hill, leading to a massacre.
At this moment, Wang Bin realized that individual strength was insignificant against the zombies. Only by everyone becoming stronger could they resist the zombie horde. He urgently needed a team of his own, one capable of standing against the zombies.
