Reborn mosquito, wreaking havoc on your life!

Countless main battle tanks, Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and Humvee armored vehicles formed a long convoy.

A torrent of steel rushed onto the highway leading to the epidemic area.

The soldiers in the convoy were fully armed and had stern expressions.

They whispered in the car about the possible combat scenarios they might face, and occasionally someone would clench their guns tightly, as if this could calm the anxiety in their hearts.

"The border of California must be guarded. No zombie infected person can be allowed to escape!"

At the pre-war meeting, King Dong pointed at the map on the big screen and gave heavy orders.

His voice was full of pressure.

After the first wave of assault troops arrived in downtown Los Angeles, they rappelled from helicopters to the streets, armed with automatic rifles, and began clearing buildings one by one.

"All non-infected people should immediately evacuate to a safe area!"

The soldier shouted orders into the loudspeaker, and as soon as he finished speaking, an infected person jumped out from the shadows and rushed towards him, roaring.

In an instant, several intensive gunshots rang out, and the zombie was shot in the head and fell stiffly.

On the street, armored vehicles advanced slowly.

The vehicle-mounted 12.7mm machine gun roared continuously, and bullets swept through the zombie horde like a rainstorm, smashing them into pieces.

The zombies' bodies were completely destroyed in the hail of bullets, turning into charred remains.

The battle at the Golden Gate Bridge was particularly fierce. The bridgehead was blocked by layers of barbed wire, sandbags and bunkers.

Thousands of fully armed soldiers guarded day and night.

They were armed with thermal weapons and aimed at the zombies that tried to rush across the bridge.

"The target is approaching—two hundred meters away!"

The observer reported in a low voice and the sniper pulled the trigger decisively.

The zombie's head was hit accurately by a bullet, and his whole body lost balance and fell into the rushing water under the bridge.

Twenty Apache attack helicopters were hovering above the bridge.

Whenever a group of zombies tried to break through the blockade, rockets from helicopters would drop from the sky and blow them to pieces.

The water surface under the bridge was gradually dyed dark red by the corpses, like a silent massacre.

In Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego, the US military adopted a street-by-street clearance approach.

Building after building was searched, streets were cleared, and the infected were eliminated one by one.

The drone swarm flashed red dots in the night sky, like the eyes of the god of death, continuously locking onto and destroying the zombie infected.

Despite the huge number of zombies, they are ultimately no match for the powerful thermal weapons of the US military.

The repeated attacks of rockets, machine guns and explosives crushed the infected people without any chance of fighting back.

After three consecutive days of fierce fighting, the US Pure Land Operation achieved initial victory.

The major cities in California were controlled by the army, the number of infected people dropped sharply, and the spread of the zombie tide was curbed.

However, this victory came at a heavy price.

Much of Los Angeles was destroyed in the fighting, and its once bustling streets were reduced to ruins.

The number of U.S. casualties has not yet been announced, but according to people familiar with the matter, it is a horrific number.

Although order has been temporarily restored in California, the source of the virus has not yet been identified and the future remains clouded.

The world waits with bated breath for the truth.

……

There was dead silence in the Pentagon's emergency meeting room.

A group of senior officials gathered here, waiting for reports with serious expressions.

King Trump, who is known for his decisiveness and confidence, was also silent at this moment. He sat at the head of the conference table with a loss report that had just been submitted in front of him. It seemed that every number between the lines was mocking the powerlessness of the United States.

"Everyone, this is our loss in three days."

The Minister of Finance stood up, took a deep breath, and began to state his case item by item:

"More than 50 people in California have been confirmed dead or infected and turned into zombies. The US military has suffered casualties.

"More than 30% of the buildings in downtown Los Angeles were destroyed, San Francisco's financial district was almost in ruins, and San Diego was turned into an abandoned land.

“The cost of repairing these cities is estimated to be more than $1.6 trillion, nearly a year’s worth of federal revenue.

"More than $2.8 trillion evaporated from financial markets in three days, with Silicon Valley companies suffering particularly heavy losses.

"1039 companies in the United States declared bankruptcy, which directly affected the global technology industry chain."

After listening to the report, the conference room fell into a long silence.

Everyone held their breath and secretly observed the King's expression.

The King of Understanding pressed his fingers hard on the table and pressed his lips into a straight line.

He finally spoke, his voice low and hoarse:
"This is the greatest shame in American history."

He stood up suddenly and slammed the thick loss report on the table, and the documents scattered all over the floor.

"One state has made us pay such a heavy price in just three days? The whole world is watching us and seeing us fall from grace!"

The King of Understanding's voice became increasingly high-pitched, with anger burning in his eyes.

He looked around at every official present and pointed his finger at the Minister of Defense:

"Doesn't the United States have the most powerful army in the world? What's the result? It takes three days to clear a state of zombies!"

The Minister of Defense lowered his head, as if he wanted to explain, but he couldn't utter a word.

He knew that any excuses would be useless. The slow response and chaotic command in this crisis did expose many weaknesses of the US system.

Then, Trump turned his anger to Burns, the director of the Intelligence Agency:

"How did these zombies come from? Why didn't our intelligence department have any warning at all?

"Also, why don't the zombies attack the Chinese? Can anyone give me an explanation?!"

The director of the Intelligence Bureau wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered:
"Mr. President, the source of the virus is still under investigation. As for the phenomenon of Chinese people being immune...

"Scientists are conducting genetic analysis, but... but this may take time..."

"time?"

The King of Understanding interrupted him by slamming the table, and his voice shook the whole audience.

"Time is what we lack most right now! I don't care what method you use, check it immediately! Immediately!"

After the meeting, California entered the reconstruction process.

This zombie crisis has left the United States with not only huge economic losses, but also a severe blow to its international reputation.

At a subsequent press conference, the King publicly declared:

"This crisis has exposed many problems, but we will stand up again and be stronger than ever. The United States is a leader of the times, and this will never change."

However, no matter how loud his voice is, it cannot cover up the deep scars that have already been engraved on this country.

Amid the ruins of the disaster, although the sky in California gradually cleared, the shadow never really dissipated.

……

The zombie crisis in California has just subsided, and the United States has not had time to celebrate.

Atop a tall building in New York City.

Jiang Huai fluttered his tiny wings and hovered in the sky, looking at this prosperous city, with a sneer in his heart:
"The United States, now I will add fuel to the fire for you." (End of this chapter)
