Chapter 30 The Situation at the Harbor

Subsequently, after hearing the accounts of Tony and the others, Li Chenzhou, Mike, and Grizzly finally understood why they were all on the ship and learned about the situation at the harbor after the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse descended, the harbor was also in chaos, with mutated zombies chasing humans everywhere. Fortunately, the people on the ships were relatively safe. Whether they were naval vessels or civilian ships, all the large ships had metal compartments. As long as they locked themselves inside, the zombies definitely couldn't get in.

Additionally, some of the guys who turned into zombies inside the compartments also couldn't get out, which greatly reduced the casualty rate among the ship's personnel.

Moreover, the time here was different from that in Li Chenzhou's country. The apocalypse descended here in the early morning, before dawn. Although some people had already started working at the dock, there weren't many.

In other words, when the apocalypse arrived, many people were still asleep. Those who were awakened by the shouts and chaos outside mostly didn't open their doors immediately but first observed the outside through the windows.

After spotting the zombies, they naturally wouldn't leave rashly. And because it was nighttime, many ships had their gangplanks raised, making it impossible for the mutated zombies in the harbor to board the ships. The vast majority of mutated zombies on the ships were also locked in some compartment.

Tony was among the first to take action. He was lucky; his roommate didn't mutate, and both of them had firearms. So, after leaving their compartment, they began to check around, killing the zombies in some compartments and recruiting the living.

Subsequently, their numbers naturally grew, and they eventually cleared all the zombies on the entire warship. The crew of the Davis, which was next to them, also launched a self-rescue operation after seeing Tony and his team's actions. Eventually, all the zombies on both warships were killed and thrown into the sea!

Then, they began to disembark and clear the zombies on the dock. The combined force of over three hundred sailors from the two warships, all armed with firearms, was quite powerful in the early days of the apocalypse. So, they successfully cleared the harbor and began to rescue the adjacent civilian port.

It took them about four or five days to clear the entire port. Afterward, they all gathered at the harbor to discuss what to do next.

In the end, they decided to enter the city. So, they formed an advance team to probe the city, but their probe ultimately failed.

There were too many zombies in the city, and the navy's armed forces relied mainly on naval guns. Therefore, they had limited ammunition for their firearms, which had already been mostly used up when clearing the port.

So, they ultimately canceled their plan and returned to the harbor. Fortunately, this was a port with many cargo ships, so resources were not lacking, and their survival was not a problem.

At that time, they were not centralized; basically, the crew members who originally belonged to a ship stayed on that ship!

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Although they had given up on entering the city, the zombies in the city began to attack the harbor, and it was even led by evolved zombies.

Under the zombie horde's attack, the crews of several freighters were wiped out. Fortunately, the sailors on the two warships launched a full-scale attack and ultimately repelled the zombie horde by utilizing the terrain of the harbor.

The zombie horde's attack caused heavy losses to the harbor's survivors. Originally, there were nearly ten thousand survivors in the entire port, but after the zombie horde was repelled, only over two thousand remained.

At the same time, the zombie horde also depleted almost all of their ammunition. So, all the survivors moved to the Davis! Defending a single ship was relatively easy, especially a warship. As long as the gangplank was raised, even an evolved zombie couldn't easily jump aboard!

With the help of the Davis warship, they finally managed to survive until now. Moreover, since only one warship had people active on it, it wouldn't easily attract zombies, and the harbor had been relatively calm!

However, although Tony and the others only needed to occasionally move some food and fresh water from other cargo ships to ensure the survival of the survivors here, they were also well aware that this kind of life wouldn't last long.

In fact, the food and fresh water on the cargo ships were enough for them to eat and drink for ten years without worry, but the problem was that these things didn't have such a long shelf life. Except for alcoholic beverages and honey, most other foods had a shelf life of about one year, two years at most.

What would they do after two years?

In the past two days, the city had become somewhat quiet, and Tony and the others had noticed it, but they didn't dare to venture into the city because they had less than a hundred bullets in total.

These bullets were a problem even for defending the warship, let alone exploring the city!

And just at this moment, Li Chenzhou and his team appeared, which undoubtedly brought new hope to Tony and the others!

After Tony and the others finished recounting their experiences, Mike also told them about their experiences and also mentioned Li Chenzhou and his team's strange arrival.

Fortunately, it was the apocalypse. Although Li Chenzhou and his team's instantaneous crossing of half the planet sounded a bit exaggerated, Tony and the others still accepted their explanation. What they were most concerned about now was whether Li Chenzhou and his team were as powerful as Mike had said.

If that were true, then they might be able to follow Li Chenzhou and leave the harbor! To the town Mike had mentioned. Although defending the town was not as good as defending the warship, the town could at least be used for planting crops and the like, allowing them to see hope for continuing their existence.

At the same time, Grizzly was also quietly discussing with Li Chenzhou. Grizzly felt that the two thousand people here, if they worked together, should be able to operate a warship.

Moreover, various supplies were quite abundant here. They could directly start the warship and load enough supplies to go out to sea.

Li Chenzhou was somewhat tempted by Grizzly's suggestion but ultimately gave it up.

The reason was simple: James was, after all, Mike and Tony's superior. If Li Chenzhou directly told Tony and Mike now to abandon James and leave, these two guys probably wouldn't agree.

And once these words were spoken, there was no way to take them back. Although Li Chenzhou and Grizzly could use force to coerce these people into sailing the ship, it would increase the number of accidents.

"Forget it! Let's stick to the original plan. If these people want to leave the warship, we can also take them out! As for sailing the warship, we still need people who are willing to join us!"

Li Chenzhou patted Grizzly on the shoulder and said, then walked towards Mike...
