Paragraph 15

Changed

Paragraph 16

Changed

Before

The system had always been his trump card—from breaking through the initial predicament with just two people, to gradually unlocking squads and platoons, every step had relied on it. Now the core functions were temporarily locked, for a full twenty-four hours.

After

Paragraph 18

Changed

He quickly ran through what he had on hand: a full-strength platoon, plus the original three squads, more than enough to transport this batch of supplies from the Armed Forces Department. Civilization points were only 1 left.

After

Paragraph 19

Changed

The biggest variable was the system itself—it had always been stable, yet it triggered an upgrade precisely at this juncture. Was it coincidence, or something else? He suppressed the thought.

Paragraph 21

Changed

Before

Shen Weizhen gathered his thoughts and turned to look. Thirty-five soldiers stood in formation at the compound gate, their postures straight, bayonets gleaming. The platoon leader at the head had a resolute face, named Zhao Feng, with a system-implanted identity as a former second lieutenant platoon leader from a mechanized infantry brigade. Six Mengshi Assault Vehicles and one armored command vehicle were parked behind the formation, their camouflage paint identical to the existing vehicles, diesel engines idling.

After

“Reporting to the General Commander, the entire combat platoon is present!”

Paragraph 22

Changed

Before

"Fall in." Shen Weizhen returned a standard military salute. "Zhao Feng, your platoon is temporarily designated as the Second Combat Platoon, immediately take over defense of the Armed Forces Department forward outpost. Reinforce the walls and perimeter fortifications, set up one forward observation post on the north side and one on the west side, report on the movement of the zombie horde on the outskirts every hour. First Platoon Leader Chen Feng, you will lead First Platoon to escort the first batch of supplies back to the main base with me."

After

Shen Weizhen gathered his thoughts and turned. Thirty-five soldiers stood in formation at the compound gate, their postures straight, bayonets gleaming. The platoon leader at the head had a resolute face—Zhao Feng—whose system-implanted identity marked him as a former second lieutenant platoon leader from a mechanized infantry brigade.

Paragraph 23

Changed

Before

"Yes, sir!"

After

Behind the formation, six Mengshi Assault Vehicles and one armored command vehicle were parked. Their camouflage paint matched the existing vehicles, and their diesel engines idled.

Paragraph 24

Changed

Before

The soldiers in the compound split up and got to work—loading vehicles, repairing fortifications, setting up sentry posts, each doing their own job. No one knew the system had malfunctioned.

After

“Fall in.” Shen Weizhen returned a standard military salute. “Zhao Feng, your platoon is temporarily designated as the Second Combat Platoon. Immediately take over defense of the Armed Forces Department forward outpost. Reinforce the walls and perimeter fortifications. Set up one forward observation post on the north side and one on the west side. Report on the movement of the zombie horde on the outskirts every hour. First Platoon Leader Chen Feng, you’ll lead First Platoon to escort the first batch of supplies back to the main base with me.”

Paragraph 25

Changed

Before

Half an hour later, the first batch of supplies was fully loaded. Two military trucks, loaded with firearms, ammunition, and protective gear, departed the Armed Forces Department under the escort of two Mengshi Assault Vehicles, heading along Zhongshan Road toward the main base.

After

“Yes, sir!”

Paragraph 26

Changed

Before

Shen Weizhen sat in the armored command vehicle, looking ahead through the observation window. The safest plan was to pull back and hold their position, then mass-produce troops after the system recovered. But the people at the hospital couldn't wait; after the power failure, the water plant and grain depot would also shut down. Every day of delay doubled the cost of recovery. The vehicle jolted slightly as it ran over gravel on the road. He had been in the military for over twenty years, experienced countless dangerous situations, and was used to keeping the initiative in his own hands. This time, his trump card was in cooldown, but the captured ammunition was enough for several battles, and his troops were far stronger than the rabble of the zombie horde. He could stabilize the situation even without the system.

After

"Understood."

After

Paragraph 29

Changed

Before

The convoy turned the street corner, and the silhouette of the Emergency Management Bureau building appeared in view. As soon as the armored command vehicle came to a stop, Shen Weizhen pushed open the door and strode toward the building. Behind him, the trucks drove into the compound one after another, and soldiers began unloading supplies. Lin Xiao came out of the building holding a ledger, jogging: "General Commander, how much supplies? So I can arrange the warehouse space."

After

But the people at the hospital couldn’t wait. After the power failure, the water plant and grain depot would shut down too. Every day of delay doubled the cost of recovery.
