The ground began to tremble as dozens of armored vehicles came rushing through the streets, followed by military trucks packed with soldiers. Their mounted machine guns immediately opened fire, sweeping across the advancing horde and cutting down infected that had survived the explosions.

The arriving soldiers quickly spread out behind the armored vehicles, forming a defensive line as more trucks and transports continued pouring into the sector. What had started as a small group rapidly grew into a large force as reinforcements from the northern wall continued arriving.
Reynold, who had been leading the Special Units' retreat, glanced back at the incoming forces. A faint sense of relief crossed his face when he saw how many soldiers had arrived.
