When the sun rose on the third day of July, the sounds of gunfire across Shenzhen had completely stopped.
A light fog covered the entire city, one that wasn't from the death zone. Rather, it was just from the rapid temperature change.

Soldiers were already in position, standing in the oddly cold morning as they waited for either the zombie or the red line to appear.

However, a weird howling sound instantly woke him up.
