Film and Television World Life Record

Back at the community's recreational square, everyone witnessed a perfectly healthy person slowly transform into a zombie and approach the end of their life. Everyone fell silent.

Li Mu went up and said a few more words, urging everyone to train hard so that they would have some ability to save themselves when facing even more brutal situations in the future.

In the subsequent drills, everyone took it much more seriously, and many teams practiced quite well.

In fact, many residents of modern society, especially in cities, have received military training or drill training while in school or at work, and have a certain foundation in military training.

It's not difficult if you put your mind to it.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, another scream rang out. Li Mu rushed over and saw the middle-aged woman lying on the ground. Her skin was gradually turning bluish-purple, her eyes were becoming cloudy, and her face was contorting...

Needless to say, this is another sign of turning into a zombie.

The crowd fell silent again. Li Mu sighed, led his men to tie the man up, carried him to the security room, and handed him over to the police who arrived later.

At 5 p.m., with Li Mu announcing the end of the training, the first day of militia training finally came to a close.

Back home, I cooked a few dishes, opened a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), and drank a few glasses. Witnessing firsthand how militiamen, who were training diligently just moments before, were about to turn into zombies filled me with mixed emotions.

Sometimes, when you think about it more deeply, the fact that only 8.5% of people develop antibodies while 91.5% will turn into zombies makes you feel even more powerless.

This means that the militia now has more than 1,500 people. Although it looks like a lot, the fate of most of them is predetermined, and only about 100 people will survive.

This is still without any surprises; no one was attacked and bitten to death by zombies.

Many people train hard, striving for that sliver of hope, but it's all in vain. In the end, what they have to guard against and kill are the zombies they will become in the future.

After dinner, I moved a rocking chair to the rooftop attic, enjoying the intoxicating warm breeze and gazing at the city's night view.

The once bustling city and streets are now eerily quiet, with only the occasional passing police cars and supply trucks reminding people that this is not a ghost town.

That night, police sirens sounded four more times in the neighborhood, three of which were after midnight, accompanied by intense gunfire. Checking the WeChat groups for the newly established militia squads, the situation was as expected: someone had turned into a zombie during the night.

Fortunately, everyone adhered to the principle of resting in separate rooms, and the zombies were quickly eliminated by the arriving soldiers, preventing any accidental injuries.

……

The next day at 8:30, just as they assembled, another person began to transform into a zombie. Li Mu tried to keep his heart cold, expressionless, and led his men to tie the person up and take them to the security room. They were then handed over to the police who arrived shortly afterward, and the day's training continued.

In the morning, it was still simple drill training. With bloody examples in front of them, everyone became very serious. Even some of the weaker women in the seven logistics teams persevered.

However, some things were unavoidable and were trending towards becoming increasingly serious. Before Li Mu announced the end of the training at 10:30, two more militiamen began to transform into zombies.

During the afternoon training, two more militiamen turned into zombies.

Looking at those vibrant faces, which suddenly contorted in disbelief, Li Mu, who had originally planned to hold a proper meeting with all the squad leaders and group leaders after training to build rapport and get to know them better, ended up having only held a brief meeting before it was over.

At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to get too familiar with everyone, nor did he want to mingle with them. This sense of distance was quite nice.

Otherwise, watching familiar faces turn into zombies one by one in the future, and even having to personally eliminate them, that feeling...

In the evening, on the rooftop terrace, with a gentle, warm breeze blowing, Li Mu drank beer while scrolling through his phone.

The militia system had only been in place for two or three days when it was first implemented, but it had already spread all over the country, with militia teams being established in rural areas and cities.

Looking at the training videos posted online, there were all sorts of things. Some were quite funny, while others were so bad they made you speechless, like the one Li Mu encountered during the day, where the militiamen who were training suddenly turned into zombies.

However, this is for the best; at least everyone has something to do. Unlike a few days ago, when the internet was rife with negativity, making people feel increasingly hopeless.

A while later, I came across an article published by a research institution on improving human resistance.

It states: According to research, maintaining a balanced diet, a cheerful mood, and regular exercise can help increase physical resistance and reduce the chances of turning into a zombie.

After reading the entire article, Li Mu forwarded it to the group chats of various militia squads. In any case, since more exercise could reduce the chances of turning into a zombie, it could also motivate everyone to train.

Seeing the heated discussion about the article in the group, Li Mu did not speak and silently closed WeChat.

That night, police sirens blared five times in the neighborhood, and there were three bursts of gunfire. It's estimated that three more people turned into zombies in their homes.

The following morning, everyone's enthusiasm for training was indeed much higher. Even some women with weaker constitutions, who were drenched in sweat and had trembling legs, gritted their teeth and continued training.

That morning, three more militiamen began to transform into zombies. Li Mu tied them up, threw them into the security room, and handed them over to the police.

At 2 p.m., everyone gathered again to continue training in formation.

At 3 p.m., just after everyone had been dismissed and given a 15-minute break, two large supply trucks drove in. I recognized some of the people escorting the trucks; they were auxiliary police officers and volunteers who had signed up from the community.

Once the two cars stopped, the convoy leader jumped out and walked directly towards Li Mu.

"Captain Li, this is the equipment provided to the militia team of Yuyuan Community. Please sign for it."

Li Mu nodded, climbed onto the transport vehicle, checked the equipment, compared it with the list, and found no problems. Only then could he sign for receipt.

They called for people to unload all the equipment.

Looking at the equipment, everyone was a little disappointed. There were no firearms, only the stuff used by police officers and riot police.

A total of 150 sets of stab-proof vests, blast-proof helmets, cut-resistant gloves, and first-aid kits were provided, all of which are protective and first-aid equipment.

The remaining equipment consists of items for dealing with zombies, including fifty riot shields. These riot shields are made of transparent PC material molded at high temperatures or high-strength alloy aluminum plates, featuring high light transmittance, light weight, and strong impact resistance, effectively resisting attacks from clubs and stones.

Of course, several shields lined up together are also a powerful weapon against zombie attacks.

In addition, there are fifty blast-proof steel forks and fifty capture forks.

Riot control forks are mainly used to apprehend dangerous individuals such as criminals wielding sharp weapons, intoxicated individuals, and those suffering from infectious or mental illnesses.

The arrest fork can effectively deal with incidents such as drunken disturbances, violent outbursts, and knife attacks, and can effectively protect the personal safety and law enforcement safety of officers on duty.

Whether it's a riot control fork or a capture fork, although they can't cause fatal damage to zombies, they are powerful tools for ordinary people to deal with or even control zombies.

After receiving the equipment, they suddenly faced another dilemma: compared to the large number of militia members, the equipment was far too little.

It's not fair to complain about the amount of equipment the government sent; the sheer volume was already beyond Li Mu's expectations. Consider the number of militia members nationwide and the sheer volume of equipment needed to satisfy them. Even in a major industrial nation, it's impossible to provide a full set for every soldier.

There are a total of fifteen squads, comprising one hundred and fifty groups. One hundred and fifty sets of stab-proof vests, blast-proof helmets, cut-resistant gloves, and first-aid kits are issued to each group, including the logistics team.

Li Mu didn't expect everyone to use these to fight zombies. His purpose in giving each group a set was simply to ensure that everyone could use and wear these equipment proficiently, so that the new equipment could be put to use immediately.

Li Mu paid considerable attention to the fifty blast shields, fifty blast forks, and fifty capture forks.

Compared to the personal protective equipment mentioned earlier, these are the pieces of equipment that allow you to confront and fight zombies head-on.

Using these pieces of equipment also requires corresponding routines and skills, and requires long-term training to develop muscle memory.

Li Mu happens to be an expert in this area.

During his peacekeeping missions overseas, Li Mu had some experience with these types of bomb disposal equipment. In the year since his discharge, he has also worked part-time as an instructor in a special police unit and a security company, making him even more familiar with this type of bomb disposal equipment used in cities.

Next, Li Mu selected 150 militiamen from various squads, 50 with riot shields, 50 with riot forks, and 50 with capture forks, and began to teach them how to use these weapons.

Then some people were selected to conduct some simple practical exercises together.

A day passed quickly.

On this day, according to Li Mu's statistics, a total of ten residents of the community turned into zombies.

The next day, at 8:30, everyone gathered again.

After a few days of adjustment, the militia's training schedule has been fixed, with a total of five hours of training per day.

Two hours in the morning: from 8:30 to 10:30 am.

Three hours in the afternoon: from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The rest of the time is entirely at your own discretion, and you can take care of your own affairs without any problems. After all, it's not a regular army unit, so we can't expect too much from everyone.

Soon, a new day of training began.

This time, everyone was divided into two groups. Some people continued to train in formation and physical fitness; others, under Li Mu's guidance, began to familiarize themselves with various anti-riot weapons and carried out targeted training.

In the afternoon, after these people had basically mastered the methods and techniques for using these anti-riot weapons, Li Mu replaced them with 150 more people for training.

It wasn't that Li Mu didn't want to train a group of elite soldiers, but the future casualties were too severe, with a survival rate of less than one in ten. Even if he trained 150 elite soldiers who could deal with zombies, how many of them would develop antibodies?

It would be better to cast a wide net and have every militiaman undergo appropriate bomb disposal training to master the relevant skills and methods. Even if the number of personnel is greatly reduced, someone can quickly fill the gap.

On this day, a total of twelve people in the community turned into zombies, and the number kept increasing.

There's not much Li Mu can do now, except continue leading the training, especially teaching them how to use riot control weapons. He wants all the militiamen to learn…or at least master how to use these weapons.

Two more days passed, and more than twenty people in the neighborhood turned into zombies. All the militiamen were finally rotated out and were able to use the blast protection equipment.

Next, the militia will continue to train these weapons in rotation, striving to master them as soon as possible.

Chapter 491 Weapons and Ammunition

It was another morning, and the militia training in Yuyuan Community was on track. Every day, in addition to drills and physical training, they conducted anti-riot drills to ensure that everyone had a certain ability to protect themselves in the face of a crisis.

On the other hand, the situation in the surrounding residential areas is not so good.

With so many people and so many militia members in a community, it would be difficult for the leader to manage such a situation without a certain level of organizational skills and hard power, even if they were a veteran.

The initial simple drill training was mostly familiar, so it wasn't too difficult. But then a series of riot control equipment arrived, and the veterans were completely lost. How to use this equipment proficiently, how to conduct live-fire drills, how to make tactical arrangements... they had no idea, as they hadn't learned this in the military.

The explosion-proof equipment has been delivered for so long, and there are several residential areas nearby that have learned nothing about it.

Li Mu himself was highly qualified, and the training results of the militia team in Yuyuan Community were far superior to those of the surrounding communities. Therefore, he had no choice but to accept the commission to teach the militia members of these communities how to use anti-riot equipment proficiently, how to conduct drills, and what tactics to use when facing zombies.

Over the next few days, Li Mu selected a dozen or so skilled militia members from the militia team. While arranging the training of the militia team in Yuyuan Community, he also traveled to several other communities to guide their training.

To be fair, there are some advantages. At the very least, you get a pass that allows you to freely enter and exit the community, giving you the right to move freely within a certain area.

Another seven or eight days passed, and the situation became increasingly serious, with the number of people mutated into zombies increasing every day.

Just yesterday, in the Yuyuan residential area, twenty-five people mutated into zombies in a single day, and police cars came and went in droves, seemingly one after another.
