Weapon System in Zombie Apocalypse-Chapter 37: Operation Moa Purges Begin

0555 Hours.

Before the operation begins, Thomas opened his inventory and consumed the pill: Experience & Blood Coin Capsule.

Effect: Quintuple all experience points and blood coins gained from kills for the next six hours.

Duration: 24 hours.

"Okay, that'll do. Let's begin."

0600 Hours.

The sun was barely rising over the Metro Manila skyline when the first wave of armored vehicles rumbled out of the Conrad Hotel perimeter. The two M1A2 Abrams tanks took the lead, flanked by two M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, their engines roaring as they advanced down Diosdado Macapagal Boulevard.

Behind them, Hammer Team, consisting of 500 infantry soldiers and 50 heavy weapons specialists, moved in tight formation. Their M4A1 rifles were loaded, and their movements were disciplined. The sniper teams of Eagle Eye had already secured positions on the rooftops, their thermal imaging drones scanning for threats.

Inside the command vehicle, Thomas monitored the operation through multiple live drone feeds.

"Status check," he ordered through his comms.

Captain Davies, leading Hammer Team, responded immediately.

"Hammer is moving into position. No resistance yet."

Captain Kim from Eagle Eye chimed in.

"Snipers are set. Covering your approach."

Captain Mason, handling Firewall Team, confirmed.

"Explosives primed. We'll funnel them straight to you, Commander."

Thomas nodded. "Then let's get started."

0615 Hours – Initial Contact

As Hammer Team advanced past the abandoned vehicles blocking Seaside Boulevard, the first wave of zombies emerged.

"Contact front!" a soldier shouted.

Dozens of infected surged toward them, their movements erratic but aggressive. The M1A2 Abrams turret rotated, locking onto the largest cluster.

"Main gun, HEAT round! Fire!" Captain Davies ordered.

Boom! The 120mm shell obliterated the first wave of zombies, sending burning flesh and debris flying. The impact cratered the asphalt, leaving a mangled pile of infected bodies.

"Light 'em up!" one of the M2 Bradley gunners shouted, unleashing a stream of 25mm rounds from the Bushmaster chain gun. The bullets tore through the advancing horde, shredding limbs and torsos.

The infantry advanced carefully, firing in controlled bursts. Suppressors helped conserve ammunition while preventing unnecessary noise from drawing more undead.

"Keep your spacing!" Davies barked. "Don't get overrun!"

The soldiers moved in tight formation, leapfrogging forward, using abandoned vehicles as cover.

0730 Hours – Strategic Funnel Activated

Firewall Team had completed the barricades and chokepoints along J.W. Diokno Boulevard. Explosives had been placed to create kill zones.

"Commander, traps are set," Mason reported.

"Detonate them when they hit the kill box," Thomas ordered.

Moments later, the zombie horde moved into the chokepoint, a large stretch of road barricaded on both sides.

"Fire in the hole!" Mason called.

The C4 charges detonated, ripping through the first wave of zombies. The explosions funneled them directly into the gunfire of Hammer Team, forcing them to cluster tightly into the narrow path.

Snipers from Eagle Eye began picking off key targets—eliminating runners and potential threats before they could reach the main force.

1045 Hours.

With the outer perimeter steadily being cleared, Thomas gave the next order.

"Razor Team, move in."

Phillip and his 500 infantry and 100 Special Forces operators surged forward, splitting into squads.

Objective: Secure key buildings (MOA Arena, IKEA, and Underground Parking).

"Go silent," Phillip ordered. "We're not wasting ammo in close quarters."

Using flashbangs and suppressed weapons, the first breach teams entered IKEA.

Inside, the massive warehouse-like store had turned into a deathtrap. The entire first floor was packed with zombies.

"We need a lure," one of the Special Forces operators suggested.

Phillip pointed at the store's PA system. "Set a high-frequency siren at the far end of the store. Draw them there."

A soldier rigged the system, and seconds later, a blaring alarm rang out on the opposite side of IKEA.

The zombies turned en masse, shambling toward the noise.

"Move now!" Phillip ordered.

The troops advanced quickly, clearing small groups of stragglers with knives and silenced pistols. The team reached the second level, where fewer zombies roamed.

"Secure the exits. We hold this position," Phillip instructed.

Eagle Eye snipers provided overwatch, eliminating any zombies trying to re-enter the building.

1500 Hours.

Meanwhile, another detachment moved toward MOA Arena, where a dense horde of at least 50,000 zombies was gathered.

"Heavy weapons team, you're up," Thomas said through comms.

The M136 AT4 rocket launchers fired first, launching high-explosive warheads into the crowd. The detonations sent flaming bodies flying.

Following up, two flamethrower teams advanced, spreading streams of fire across the arena entrance, creating an impassable wall of flames.

"Keep them burning!" Captain Davies shouted.

As the zombies screamed and burned alive, machine gunners positioned on the arena's rooftop rained down fire, ensuring nothing survived.

The massacre continued for ten minutes before only a few stragglers remained.

"MOA Arena secured," Davies confirmed.

1900 Hours.

Back at the command center, Thomas monitored the drone feed.

"All breaching teams, fall back from underground," he ordered.

Explosives had been strategically placed at key structural points in the underground parking structures.

"On my mark… Detonate."

A moment later, the ground trembled as multiple controlled explosions went off. The entire parking complex collapsed, burying thousands of zombies alive.

Russell, monitoring from the rooftop, whistled. "That's one way to clear them out."

Phillip's voice came through comms. "Underground threat neutralized."

2230 Hours.

With most open areas cleared, the remaining zombies were pinned down inside the main mall structure.

"All teams, regroup. Final assault on the mall begins," Thomas ordered.

With snipers covering entrances, heavy weapons softening defenses, and firebreaks set, the soldiers stormed the mall, clearing it floor by floor.

Phillip's team moved swiftly, using flashbangs to stun zombies before executing them.

By Day 2, 0230 hours, the last of the undead had been wiped out.

MOA Complex was officially reclaimed.

Thomas stood at the center of the mall's atrium, where a massive MOA sign still hung. Around him, soldiers cheered, exhausted but victorious.

Phillip approached, blood and sweat covering his uniform. "We did it, boss."

Thomas surveyed the area—the dead lay scattered, barricades in place, key structures secured.

"We did more than win," he said. "We just took back the city."
