Fortunately, a large number of auxiliary police officers were recruited in advance; otherwise, the police force would have been insufficient long ago.

……

Early in the morning, Li Mu got up early as usual to go for a run. He saw several police cars parked downstairs in a residential building, and a few middle-aged women who had gotten up early were whispering among themselves.

So early in the morning, has someone mutated again?

Li Mu was jogging past nearby when he stopped and asked a question.

Upon seeing that it was Li Mu, a middle-aged woman immediately began to speak at length: "Captain, you have no idea, something terrible happened last night!"

Li Mu asked, "What important matter?"

The middle-aged woman said, "There's a family in our building who suffered today."

Li Mu was somewhat shocked: "How could this be! Could it be that the whole family mutated? It can't be such a coincidence."

The middle-aged woman said, "It shouldn't be that everyone mutated. I heard from the police that only one person mutated. The family's security measures weren't very good, and as a result, the whole family suffered. The scene was too tragic!"

Li Mu sighed. He wondered how many similar scenes there were across the country.

Before the morning training session, Li Mu held a special meeting and reiterated the importance of this rule: all families and individuals, whether at night or during lunch break, must be alone in a room with the door locked to prevent a repeat of this tragedy.

To avoid harming your family and yourself!

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Li Mu stopped the topic and told them to continue training.

The daily increase of more than twenty mutants in the community these past few days has become a Damocles' sword hanging over everyone's heads. Everyone's hearts are heavy, facing an unpredictable future, not knowing when it will be their turn.

At times like this, Li Mu didn't want to talk about anything too heavy or negative, which would increase everyone's mental stress. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

After arranging the training in the community, Li Mu drove to the nearby Mantingfang community, checked on everyone's training progress, gave some pointers, and then drove to the next community.

In one morning, we visited several neighborhoods. Everyone has mastered the skills; all that's left is to practice more and get more practice.

He had just reported the training situation when he was summoned over. Upon arriving, Li Mu saw Lin Fei again. Due to the recent tense situation, Lin Fei had moved to her parents' house.

Upon seeing Li Mu again, Lin Fei seemed pleasantly surprised and chatted with him for quite a while until someone called her to a meeting, at which point she finally left.

Li Mu also attended a small meeting, which was attended by relevant personnel from the military, police, and other sectors.

At the meeting, a number of appointments were announced, and Li Mu was appointed as the militia inspector for more than 20 communities near Yuyuan Community.

After the meeting, I arrived at the parking lot and was about to get my car when I looked up and saw Lin Fei again.

She smiled happily and said, "Li Mu, we should do more things together in the future."

Seeing that Li Mu was a little stunned, he immediately explained, "Didn't you become the militia inspector? The twenty-odd neighborhoods you're in charge of all fall under the jurisdiction of our street."

Li Mu said, "I see. I'll have to rely on Director Lin's support from now on."

Lin Fei laughed, saying she looked like a little fox.

"Of course, there are only about twenty residential communities under our jurisdiction. The rest are commercial areas, which are now mostly closed. We serve the same group of people."

The two chatted for a while before parting ways.

In the following days, the situation became even more serious. In one day, thirty people in Yuyuan Community turned into zombies, including a veteran.

This is the second mutated squad leader under Li Mu's command. The previous one was a few days ago, a female squad leader in charge of logistics who mutated into a zombie.

Everyone was in a very heavy mood. Even the squad leader had mutated twice, which made everyone realize that this disaster did not discriminate against anyone.

No matter your status or position, the outcome is unavoidable.

Li Mu did not reappoint a new squad leader, but let the ten group leaders of the squad choose one themselves.

The situation among civilians is becoming increasingly tense, and even more so among the military and police, who are not only burdened with heavy tasks, but also facing serious issues of mutation and attrition.

The police are doing a bit better. They recently recruited a large number of auxiliary police officers, although they are all novices with little experience. Fortunately, there are plenty of them. They can train and use them simultaneously, so they can manage.

The military is different. It is highly professional. Physical fitness, marksmanship, combat skills and experience, discipline... cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. Every one lost is a loss.

Despite having a large number of demobilized soldiers, some of whom are responsible for local militia training and others who have been re-enlisted into the army, there is still a shortage of manpower.

Li Mu did a quick calculation: there are over four thousand people in the Yuyuan residential area, and thirty people turned into zombies yesterday, which means one in every one hundred and forty people is a zombie.

With a population of 1.4 billion, this means that ten million people turn into zombies every day.

Let alone zombies, which are difficult to kill, even ten million pigs would be extremely difficult to deal with in a single day.

Not to mention the corpses left behind after killing zombies. Even if all the crematoriums in the country worked overtime, could they burn them all in a day, let alone a month?

These are all very real and pressing issues.

After taking on the role of inspector for the militia team in the nearby communities, Li Mu also had to assume corresponding responsibilities. He spent several days driving around all twenty-odd communities.

Supervise the militia's training progress and do some work to identify and address any gaps in their skills.

He increasingly felt that he might be facing a difficult period ahead.

Especially these days, with the increasing number of police incidents, it is common for police to respond to 20 to 30 calls a day in a single community. With tens of millions of people and thousands of communities in the entire city of Xia, the number of police responses is nearly 100,000 times a day.

The police can manage thanks to their large auxiliary police force, but as for the military, with so many cities across the country, apart from the navy, air force, and border troops, the number of troops stationed in each city is not as large as one might imagine.

Despite significant personnel losses, these soldiers were able to respond to 100,000 police calls daily within the Xia City area. Even the strongest could not withstand the arduous task of accompanying the police to eliminate zombies.

As a result, sometimes it takes a long time after the police are called for help before the army arrives to deal with the zombies.

As time goes on, more and more people turn into zombies, there are fewer and fewer experienced veterans, and new recruits cannot be trained in a short time, so the response time will become slower and slower, and some cases will not even have time to be handled.

When the time comes, the troops will be unable to attend to everything, and these militiamen, who have only undergone short-term training, will really have to be deployed to the front lines to fight the zombies in real combat.

In the future, if zombies appear in a neighborhood, the local militia will likely have to deal with it themselves; the authorities will at most help collect the bodies.

His speculation gradually evolved into reality.

That morning, another batch of equipment was delivered.

There are a total of one hundred sets of stab-proof vests, blast helmets, cut-resistant gloves, and first-aid kits. There are also thirty blast shields, thirty blast forks, and thirty capture forks.

There was also a batch of cold weapons, long knives, long swords, long spears... more than a hundred in total.

These were all normal, but I didn't expect that this time the weapons they sent would include guns.

There were three Type 95 automatic rifles currently in active service; seven Type 81 rifles that had just been retired; and what surprised Li Mu the most was that there were also thirty Type 56 semi-automatic rifles.

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was the first generation of rifles independently developed in China in the 1950s. After several improvements, it was still in use by some military units until the 1980s.

However, this gun has been retired for decades, and I didn't expect there to be so many in stock.

These guns don't look new; they've probably been stored for a long time. After a little thought, I understood where they came from.

Back then, when the situation was tense, the country launched the Third Front construction project, implementing a policy of "hiding troops among the people." During that period, a large quantity of weapons and ammunition were produced for reserve.

At that time, the main weapon of the army was the Type 56 rifle. At least tens of millions of these rifles were produced during that era, and the number of bullets produced was countless. It is said that even in the new century, the army was still using these bullets for training and shooting.

With so many new militia units being formed in the country, the demand for weapons and ammunition is enormous, and the supply simply cannot keep up in the short term.

It just so happens that so many guns and ammunition were produced in preparation for war, and these weapons are now outdated and will probably have to be scrapped in the future.

However, I hadn't had time to process it yet, and it had been stored in the warehouse. I never expected that it would be used for a whole day, especially at such an important time.

This batch of guns was truly a godsend for the entire country, instantly solving the militia's weapon problem.

Although this batch of guns, in terms of accuracy, cannot compare to weapons produced in the new century, it also depends on who the opponent is. This time, the opponent is a zombie with little intelligence, so there's no need to shoot at each other from hundreds of meters away in a hail of bullets.

In terms of power, the two are actually quite similar.

After receiving the weapons and ammunition, the young man in charge of escorting them said, "Captain Li, we've heard you're an excellent marksman, so we specially prepared a weapon for you this time."

Li Mu asked curiously, "What kind of weapon?"

The young man said, "Captain Li, please take a look." He then had someone open a box containing weapons.

Upon seeing the weapon in front of him, Li Mu's eyes lit up. It was the AMR-2 sniper rifle, a top-tier domestically produced sniper rifle.

This gun uses 12.7mm caliber bullets, which are very effective against single objects at long distances, enabling precise strikes. It is equipped with both optical and mechanical sights.

In addition, the gun uses a high-precision barrel and floating technology, resulting in high accuracy, low recoil, and comfortable operation.

When Li Mu participated in peacekeeping missions overseas, he sometimes served as a sniper and used this sniper rifle.

Seeing that Li Mu seemed very pleased, the young man was also happy: "Captain Li, please sign to receive this."

After signing the papers and watching them leave, Li Mu began to ponder the use of these weapons.

Given the grim situation ahead and the large-scale casualties, relying on a small number of elite troops is simply not feasible. No matter how well-trained they are, with a survival rate of less than one in ten, how many could possibly survive, and how much combat effectiveness could they possibly exert?

Only by conducting large-scale training for all citizens, allowing everyone to handle a gun and ideally learn how to use it, can we ensure that in case of an emergency, personnel shortages can be filled at any time, and that as long as people are not wiped out, there will always be someone to fill in.

Ultimately, of this batch of guns, only Li Mu got a Type 56 rifle to play with; the three veterans who were the last to retire were issued Type 95 rifles, which was what they used in the army.

The other four were each issued a Type 81 rifle. When they retired from the army, the Type 81 rifle was the main combat weapon of the unit, which was quite appropriate.

The remaining guns were all used for training purposes. All militia members were required to participate in the training.

Due to the limited availability of firearms and time, training sessions were limited to one hour each. Each group of militiamen received one hour of training before the next group began.

Once all the militia members have gone through the training, we'll start from the beginning again for the next round, repeating this cycle until everyone is familiar with how to fire a gun.

We'll conduct live-fire target practice once everyone is familiar with the firearms. There's no other way; ammunition is scarce right now, and we need to save the majority for dealing with zombies. We can't just let everyone shoot freely.

Not only Yuyuan Community, but also more than twenty other communities nearby have received weapons and ammunition in the past two days.

Li Mu needed to manage both the Yuyuan residential community and the militia training in other communities, striving to ensure that everyone could develop a certain level of combat capability.

There's nothing we can do about it. Given the current situation, with the number of zombies increasing, the army will inevitably be overwhelmed.
