Chapter 376 The First Defense Line
The helicopter roared overhead, des slicing the cold winter air.
Theresa flew from the southernmost point of the defense line, heading north.

Below her, clusters of zombies could be seen forming like storm clouds, gathered sporadically just outside the towering walls.
“Raaagh-
“Aaargh-”
“Grrraaaah-”
Waves of the undead surged from the direction of Branford and Crestmont, mming again and again into the great wall.
Along one major highway, hundreds–no, thousands–of zombies were hammering the iron barrier with relentless force.
They climbed over each other’s bodies, forming grotesque pyramids of rotting flesh, groaning as they reached for the top.
But just as they neared the middle, massive des, sharp as scythes, sliced down through the writhing mounds.
Shing!
<i>ng</i>–ng–<i>ng</i><i>! </i>
The zombies were chopped clean in half, the de cleaving through them like wheat. The charging horde crumbled and copsed under its own weight.

From atop the wall, machine guns fired. Guards stood posted, shooting down any scattered zombies that managed to break free of therger groups.
The undead surged endlessly, but the wall held.
Theresa’s chopper arced through the sky, following the line further north.
Afterpleting her aerial sweep, the helicopternded at the central point of the defense line.
There, atop the fortress wall, stood a unit of men in uniform, rifles slung over their shoulders, scanning the horizon.
They were bigger, stronger, and far more imposing than the average guard unit.
Their presence alone felt like a living wall–flesh and steel fused into an unshakable line of defense.

At the center of the formation stood a towering man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, carrying a rocketuncher like it weighed nothing.
His eyes were sharp, focused like twin des as he surveyed the oing zombie swarm.
<i>Boom</i><i>! </i>
Theuncher belched fire. The st mmed into the center of a zombie mound.
<i>Kaboom</i><i>! </i>
The entire cluster copsed like a demolished building.
After the smoke cleared, the man looked up at the helicopter descending toward him. His chiseled features softened, and a grin tugged at his lips.
“Hey, Theresa. You made it. Theron pulled off his helmet and gave Theresa a wide, boyish smile.
“Nice job,” she replied, jumping down from the helicopter with case.
“Now that the wall’s up, mowing down zombies is easier than picking fruit,” hemented with a shrug.
Theresaughed.
“In a few days, I’ll send you some zombie harvesters–make it even easier.”
Theron shed a brilliant grin. “Yes, ma’am!”
Side by side, the two walked along the top of the wall, discussing the structure’s performance and future upgrades.
The line stretched from south to north, guarded by thirteen strategically ced camps.
Not every section needed to be manned. If they tried that, even with the whole alliance, they wouldn’t have enough people.
Zombie migrations followed patterns.
They poured out mostly along former highways or ces that had once housedrge human poptions.
The spread was chaotic in the small picture–but in the big data, the movement always condensed into specific high–density zones.
The thirteen camps were positioned exactly in those zones, containing the bulk of the outbreaks.
Other sections only needed a couple of patrols to keep an eye out.
Each segment of the wall was also equipped with motion sensors. If any zombies crossed a set threshold, lights would sh–alerting the entire line.
This first defense line had officially be the wall that held back the tide.

All citizens from Ember Camp were now granted the same welfare packages as those in the zing Sun
Alliance.
On holidays and special asions, they’d receive extra rations and bonuses–just like her own people.
“You don’t need to worry about your camp,” she told him. “I’ll take care of everything. They’ll be treated just like mine.”
Theron chuckled. The hardened warrior actually cracked a bigger smile. “Alright then. I’ll hold the front line–you hold down the rear.”
“Deal. Theresa said, and they pped hands.
Theron couldn’t help but think back to the very first time he’d met her.
That was exactly what she had said then–she would take care of him.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
Back then, he and his squad had been running for their lives, chased by a massive zombie horde.
They had stumbled into a clothing depot–only to find Lucas and Theresa already inside.
