Middle East, Hadbar.

The yellow sand blew lightly in the wind, passing over the ruined city, scattered among the ruined walls, abandoned vehicles, and countless potholes left by missile bombing...

This city, which had a long history and was busy with traffic, was recaptured in the form of "ruins" after it was occupied by the extremist religious organization "Da'esh" three years ago and experienced numerous tragic battles.

Although it has been dubbed "successful recovery" in the international news, the city has so far not set up any government agencies and has not been able to launch the so-called "reconstruction plan".

Whether in the rubble, on the road, or at the top of intersection lights, there are dead bodies everywhere.

No one knows how many people once died in this city.

After nightfall, the uninhabited city was dominated by a terrifying silence and the acrid stench of corpses in the air.

Even the most greedy vultures in the desert dare not settle here.

Because, whenever night falls, corpses lingering with resentment will slowly get up, wandering stiffly in the streets and lanes, greedy and bloodthirsty to explore the breath of all living things.

These living corpses revived after sunset are the reason why the official government has not been able to truly recover the city.

Under the moonlight, an off-road vehicle made of various brand car parts was walking on the edge of Haderba's broken city wall.

More and more living corpses were attracted by the sound of the engine and chased not far behind the rear of the car.

"Bang bang bang..."

In the car, two men were leaning out halfway, and with their firearms, they were clearing the living corpses that had left the city wall.

"Recruit, keep your arms steady and don't waste bullets! These guys will only suspend their activities if they hit the head..."

On the co-pilot, a middle-aged man calmly aiming his gun reminded the teenager who was also aiming his gun behind him.

"Please, Faisal, you are too strict..."

In the driver's seat, a long-bearded uncle who was driving skillfully laughed happily.

"This is the first time little Uday has faced these things so close. It would be nice to not drop the gun out of the car door."

"It's okay, I just saw an acquaintance inside..."

In the back row of the off-road vehicle, the teenager wrapped in a white robe took a deep breath, pulled the trigger calmly, and accurately hit a living corpse in the eyebrows, causing the other party to fall to the ground and stop moving.

"Uncle Assad... I will always remember that the Sof in your store is the best in Haderba!"

Looking at his immature face, it is estimated that he is less than 15 years old, but there is an iron-blooded calm between his eyebrows.

"Wow, look, little Uday is angry!"

Seeing this scene from the rearview mirror, the uncle who was driving suddenly exclaimed.

A slender fifteen-year-old boy hit a target fifty meters away from a moving car with an AK47 with great recoil...

This ability to calculate the impact of recoil on ballistics can only be explained by talent for them who lack armament and can only practice guns through actual combat.

"Don't forget, after the shooting selection the day before yesterday, I was recognized as the first shooter of the 'Hadbar Revival Militia'..."

The teenager narrowed his eyes, calmed down his emotions, and shot the living corpse behind the chasing vehicle with the AK47 in his hand.

"One day, I will recover and rebuild this city, so that my children will have the same fond memories of growing up here as I do!"

"Find a girl who is willing to marry you first and then talk nonsense... Moreover, these undead monsters are simply the wrath of the true God against this world..."

The driver's uncle made a sharp turn, dodging a few living corpses that suddenly stood up in the sand facing him, and muttered angrily.

"Even the mysterious religious figures in the peacekeeping mission have nothing to do with these 'Cities of Death'."

"City of Death" was their name for a city like Hadbah, which was occupied by the infinitely reborn dead.

There are more than one cities like this in this land filled with yellow sand.

"Or, do you believe that the recently rumored 'Mahdi' really exists?"

The middle-aged man in the co-pilot squinted and asked disdainfully.

He has seen too many young people who are as talented as Little Uday, but buried under the yellow sand because of his passion.

If you want to live longer, you must learn to give up those unrealistic "dreams" and consider everything in front of you with the worst plan.

Listening to the other party's words, Uday pursed his mouth and just continued to shoot without speaking.

The middle-aged man was right. In the face of these living corpses like "movie tricks that love themselves and play, no matter how they die", the "Hadba Revival Militia" spontaneously formed by the remnants of Hadbah City, just a joke.

Although most of these living corpses have no intelligence and will only chase those who come into sight like beasts, whether they are smashed into a piece of flesh by the bombardment of artillery shells, or burned into ashes by fire, or even crushed, mixed, and divided with a mixer Buried at the same place, they will regroup and "resurrection" again the next night.

This is the sad truth that the government has come to realize after sacrificing countless ground troops and carrying out countless air strikes.

The militia team, which is short of ammunition and materials, can now only guide the living corpses that accidentally walked out of the city wall to a place close to the city wall and subdue them, so as to control the range of activities of these evil beings and protect the corpses outside Haderba. Several refugee camps were spared.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, Hadbah, who bears the happy memories of countless people, has long since died.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the young militiaman Udai, who was originally focusing on aiming, looked at a city wall a hundred meters away with a feeling.

"who?"

There, a ghostly white figure flashed by.

"Don't be in a daze, be careful!!"

Just when he thought he was dazzled, a force pulled him back into the car.

"click..."

Immediately, the upper part of the city wall next to the off-road vehicle suddenly collapsed, hitting the roof of the vehicle heavily.

"Bastard, this **** broken wall, it won't collapse sooner or later..."

No matter how the uncle who drove the car stepped on the accelerator, the off-road vehicle only roared in pain and the four-wheeled gravel flew away, unable to leave under the weight of the wreckage of the city wall.

"Oops! Quickly think of something, those guys are following!!!"

In the stench of the clutch, dozens of living corpses, already bearing the whistling bullets, kept getting closer.

In the city, there were also footsteps that were about to move, and it seemed that something was attracted by the noise here.

"Boom...boom!!!"

Just when the three of them were desperate, the off-road vehicle that was standing still, suddenly relieved the pressure, and rushed out...

"That, that is..."

Being pressed against the back of the chair by the sudden push on the back, Uday looked back in confusion...

A figure wrapped in a white Arab robe was propping up the collapsed heavy city wall with one hand.

Judging from his stature, he should be a man with a strong physique and a height of no more than 1.8 meters.

Under the hood lifted by the night wind, a pair of ferocious hanging-cornered eyes and unruly thin lips could be vaguely seen.

"Wait, we have to go back and save him!!!"

Not having time to think about how normal human beings can hold up a multi-ton stone wall, Uday saw only dozens of living corpses surrounding the man.

It was the other party who helped out just now that the off-road vehicle was able to escape.

"It's too late! Go back now~lightnovelpub.net~ We can only add to him..."

The man in the co-pilot shook his head, helplessly looking at the figure in the rearview mirror, who was stunned in place, surrounded by a large group of living corpses.

"Don't you want to find a wife and watch your child grow up in New Haderba?!"

The next second, at the moment when the white-robed man put down the city wall in his hand, the heads of the living corpses around seemed to be neatly cut off by an invisible object, like a rocket ascending into the sky, rising into the air together with the yellow sand.

"God bless..."

Uday swore that this was the first time in his life that he saw so many heads flying in the sky at the same time.

Then, the group of headless corpses, like a pilgrimage, swept the ground with the man at the center, and knelt softly to the ground.

"Ma... Hedi..."

Watching this strange and sacred scene, Uday couldn't help but murmur the word.

"It's Mahdi, he's here to save Hadbah!!!"
