Military incursions / convoys

[Nemesis6]

I've been fiddling with this idea in my head - Once in a while, military "cleansing" brigades will blitz neighborhoods. I was thinking humvees with gunners, from which hazmat-clad soldiers may occasionally disembark, depending on the level of infected, I.e if there are too many, they won't risk it and will leave the work to the turret gunners. Basically, they come in and basically fuck stuff up with automatic weapons of all kinds. Another spin on this idea is that instead of cleansing, the military will occasionally move convoys with either humvees or trucks through. Although by definition not hostile in this scenario, they will fire at anything close to the convoys, survivors or dead-heads with heavy mounted weaponry.

It depends if the military is already wiped out

There will always be remnants

If I can take out 2000 zombies with nothing but a shotgun and 250 shells single handedly, I would hope the military would do a better job than that.

Well, that depends on so many things. They'll have better equipment along with armor -- both kinds -- and all that jazz, They're also likely to be better trained since actually killing the zombies would be their full-time job, but if the plan is just to send in recruits, they may indeed die long before firing off a magazine or two.
