When morning arrived, Sparrow and his team gathered at the designated meeting spot where their trucks were parked.
Rose joined them, eager to reunite with the group.
Once everyone had arrived, they climbed into the trucks, and the drivers revved the engines, setting off toward the Eastern wall.
As the convoy approached, the gatekeeper spotted the trucks and shouted to the two guards stationed at the gate to open it.
"Open the gate! Soldiers, prepare to support against the incoming zombies!" the gatekeeper shouted, brimming with renewed energy.
Unlike the previous days, when he had been weighed down by concerns over ammunition supplies, today felt different.
Yesterday, during their trip to Villa #1 at the City Lord’s request, they had been pleasantly surprised by the abundance of firearms and ammunition that Kisha had promised.
It had seemed almost impossible to gather such a stockpile so quickly in the wake of the apocalypse.
Without ample time for preparation or access to a proper armory, supplying a military camp with that quantity of weaponry would have been a formidable challenge.
When they arrived and Kisha guided them to the back of the villa, towards the storage room, he was completely taken aback.
The room was overflowing with an astonishing array of ammunition and firearms, resembling a military armory that had just received a fresh shipment of supplies.
Crates lined the walls, each filled with top-notch weaponry of the highest caliber.
Many of these firearms were so advanced that they hadn’t even been seen in the army’s armory during their time in the military.
The sheer volume and quality of the equipment left him speechless, igniting a sense of hope and excitement within him.
"Go ahead and gather everything and move it to your barracks," Kisha instructed, as she chuckled because of their enthusiasm.
"Some of these weapons came from the Coltons’ armory, while others are from the Winters’. You’ll find a wide selection of new, top-of-the-line firearms here. Many of them have been customized, especially those from the Winters’ collection. I hope you find them to your liking."
She gestured for them to enter the storage room and take a closer look, her excitement evident as she watched them explore.
"City Lord, are we really allowed to take all of this and distribute it to the soldiers guarding the wall?" the eastern gatekeeper asked, his hands trembling slightly as he reached for one of the Gatling guns in the storage.
His eyes widened in disbelief, a mix of excitement and concern evident on his face.
"It’s not like we can use it here; if we leave it sitting around, it’ll just rust and become useless. We might as well put it to work defending the entire base. Install the Gatling guns on top of the wall or on some of the vehicles—it’s entirely up to you how you want to deploy them."
Kisha shrugged, her tone casual but firm. "In the future, if we manage to acquire more supplies, we’ll send them to your barracks so the soldiers can use them however they see fit."
The four gatekeepers clasped their hands together in joy, their eyes sparkling as they surveyed the entire storage room.
"Thank you, City Lord!" they exclaimed in unison, their excitement palpable.
Kisha chuckled as she left, leaving them to transport the items.
The gatekeepers quickly called for more personnel to fetch trucks for the task.
As the Eastern gatekeeper recalled the day’s events, his enthusiasm for the work surged.
Even the soldiers stationed atop the wall felt the excitement, especially the snipers in the watchtower.
They now had access to a new set of high-spec sniper rifles, allowing them to take out zombies from greater distances.
With an ample supply of ammunition, they no longer had to hold back when it came to firing, relishing the freedom to shoot without restraint.
Rose thought she’d be facing the journey alone. freёwebnovel.com
