Chapter 127: 100% Certainty (1st Update)
No one spoke, and only the sound of zombies slamming on the door in the entire Watsons clan never stopped.
The atmosphere gradually became more and more oppressive, more and more desperate.
After a few minutes like this, Chen Yuliang controlled his voice and said to everyone: "We still have a chance, don't give up in a hurry." β
No one responded.
Several people looked at each other, then lowered their heads again.
Chen Yuliang sighed heavily, "I can understand your feelings, but there is no point in continuing to languish. We have to redesign a new course of action. There are indeed a lot of zombies out there, but they haven't reached the point where there's no way to do it at all. β
There was silence again.
Someone whispered, "Captain Chen, even if we run out of here, but then? Our truck is on another street, there are already hundreds of zombies there, and we can't get back to the car at all!"
"Yes, if we don't have a car, we can only hide in a place like Watsons, but if we continue like this, we won't be able to last long. β
"We've been so unlucky to have a sudden increase in zombies. β
There was a person leaning against the corner of the wall, his expression looked a little distorted, "It's not bad luck, we must have done something wrong, this is the fate that God has arranged for us, this is punishment, we can't escape." β
Miller looked equally flustered, and he tentatively asked, "What if, what if we use bait?"
Chen Yuliang directly refused: "No, there are too many zombies this time, and the whole journey is not a straight line." The location of the zombie distribution is also completely not fixed at one point, and it is basically impossible to attract them at the same time. Even if you do lure them away, there's still nothing to be done on the other side of the truck. β
I guessed in my heart that this might be the result, but Miller was still unwilling, he didn't want to die here. He gritted his teeth and thought about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a good way to do it.
Looking up at Chen Yuan, Mi Le suddenly noticed that his expression didn't look panicked at all, as if the current situation was as if nothing had happened to him. There was no trace of fear in his eyes, and there was no despair.
Mi Le blinked suspiciously, walked up to him and whispered, "Chen Yuan, you, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Chen Yuan replied casually.
"You, aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid. β
"Not worried?"
"Well, don't worry. β
Miller frowned and looked even more confused, "We're trapped here by the zombies outside, do you have a way to escape from here?"
When he asked this sentence, he felt that he was a little brainless, Chen Yuliang still had no way, how could Chen Yuan have a way. The reason why he didn't seem to have a reaction of fear or despair was probably because he didn't realize how bad the situation really was.
Thinking like this, he shook his head, and just wanted to say forget it When I didn't say it, he heard Chen Yuan's response. His voice was as flat as water as usual, and he said, "Well, I have a way. β
Mi Le thought he had misheard at first, and he looked at Chen Yuan with a frown, "What did you say?"
"I have a way. β
Miller still looked incredulous, "Do you have a way?"
"Hmm. β
"What, what?"
"It's easy, I'm going to go out and get the van over, and then you guys rush out the back door and get in the car, and then just go back to the shelter the way you are. β
Chen Yuan said this sentence lightly, as if it was a simple matter.
Miller closed her eyes and patted her head. In his opinion, Chen Yuan's feeling is like a primary school student going to participate in a high school student's math Olympiad, and before he saw the real question, he thought it would be as simple as one plus one equals two.
He really thought that Chen Yuan might be able to have some good way for everyone to study it together, but he didn't expect it to be this kind of plan that didn't have any feasibility without going through the brain at all. In his mind, this kind of plan is a typical death plan with a zero success rate.
"A good approach indeed. β
Mi Le patted Chen Yuan's shoulder and said perfunctorily.
Chen Yuan knew very well what Mi Le was thinking now, so he just smiled and didn't explain again.
Seeing that he could still laugh, Miller only felt that his mental endurance was really good.
Chen Yuliang walked slowly around Watsons a few times.
Looking at the back door in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and slowly walked to the door. Listening carefully to the movement outside, there seemed to be no sound of zombies sticking nearby.
Adjusting his breathing, he gripped the doorknob with both hands and gently opened the door a slit.
He squinted his eyes and quickly glanced around, there were not many zombies.
Taking advantage of the fact that no zombies noticed this, he quickly closed the door again.
"How's that over there, Captain Chen?"
A member of the team who was closer to him asked in a whisper, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
"It's okay, there aren't many zombies. β
Although this was good news for them, Chen Yuliang's expression still looked very solemn. He leaned quietly against the wall, thinking about how to take advantage of the only few zombies in the back door to lead everyone out of danger.
As it stands, they can indeed rush out the back door, but breaking out of Watsons is not the goal, they have to get back into the van to have a real chance of returning to the shelter safely.
What he saw just now was only a narrow view of the back door, and as for the place he couldn't see next to him, he couldn't estimate how many zombies there would be. In this way, there is a high risk of danger if you go out rashly.
The simple-minded team members gradually lose their minds.
The voices of discussion quickly turned into arguments.
"Otherwise, we'll just rush out from behind!"
"Don't be stupid, what happens after rushing out? The zombies around the truck can't be solved, and it doesn't make sense for us to rush anywhere. β
"Then you can't just wait here!
"Of course I have to wait before I have no choice, do I have to go out and feed the zombies?"
Chen Yuliang pressed his temples, "Don't argue yet." He breathed slowly, "Arguing won't solve the problem, it will only waste our physical strength." β
The sound of slamming the door seemed to be weakening, and it seemed that the zombies outside might have walked a little.
After noticing this, Chen Yuliang motioned for everyone to be quiet for the time being.
He walked to the front door and listened for a while, confirming that what he had just found was not an illusion, and that the sound of slamming the door was indeed getting quieter.
Everyone also noticed this at this time.
Everyone looked at each other.
"It looks like some zombies have gone. β
"In that case, we have a chance. β
The situation is a little more optimistic than before, but it is clear that it is not yet fully solved. The zombies were indeed moving, but what exactly the situation was like on the other side of the truck was unknown to them.
In this case, if you want to take everyone to live, there is only one feasible plan left.
Chen Yuliang hesitated for a moment, he gathered everyone in a small circle, "There is no other better way, wait for me to rush out first, you lock the door." When I confirm the situation outside, I will use the walkie-talkie to let everyone know. If I don't have the chance, I'll try to go back the way I came, and you'll be ready to open the door for me. β
After listening to this plan, everyone's hearts sank.
In this case, a person rushing out to investigate the situation outside is undoubtedly tantamount to death. It's just that if you're lucky, you do have a chance to break through.
"Captain, this is too risky. β
"Yes, you're alone, and if something happens, it's bad. β
"No, let's wait. β
"But there's nothing you can do about it. β
"In fact, everyone knows very well that we have to take risks when we come out to search for supplies. β
"If we succeed, we can go back safely!"
There were two different voices in the team.
Chen Yuliang said in a deep voice, "Just do what I say, you guys get ready." β
"Captain......
"Don't say it, just do it. β
With that, he walked to the back door, adjusted his state, and prepared to start moving.
At this moment, a figure stood in front of him.
After waiting so long, it's almost time to show your true strength.
Chen Yuan maintained a calm expression and said sincerely, "You are the captain, or don't take risks." I have a way to make sure it's safe, just wait here. β
Mi Le's face collapsed, thinking of the plan that Chen Yuan had just said, he couldn't wait to cover his mouth immediately.
Chen Yuliang looked suspicious, "What can you do?"
"I'm going to get the truck, you're waiting at the back door, I'm there to let you know, and then you rush out and get in the car, and we'll take shelter together. β
"Nonsense!"
Chen Yuliang's eyes widened, and then he sighed, "Don't think about it, go back and follow everyone to get ready to wait for my news." β
The two of them spoke very clearly, and the other team members around them also heard it.
"Cut, I thought I could say something good. β
"A rookie is a rookie, and it's always so simple to think about things. β
Chen Yuan was still standing in place, looking at Chen Yuliang, and he said, "I am 100% sure that I can succeed." He smiled shallowly, "Actually, you know very well that the success rate of your plan is very low, and it can only be said that it is luck." In that case, it is better to bet on me, and if it succeeds, everyone will be happy. Even if you fail, you have nothing to lose. β
"How can you be 100% sure?" Chen Yuliang shook his head with a wry smile, "The first time you came out, you have experienced too little, and you are still too naΓ―ve." β
Someone sneered on the side.
"It's a shame to dare to say 100 percent. β
"It's just a rookie, and I don't know what kind of brain circuit he has to say such things. β
Chen Yuan looked at the ground and shook his head slightly, "Many things, people will have all kinds of doubts when they haven't seen them with their own eyes. They are accustomed to thinking that what they can't do is something that others can't do. But in fact, it's just because they don't want to admit that they are too weak. β
Scratching his hair, he continued: "I'm not talking on a whim, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm conditional. If I succeed, the captain of the three teams, I'll do it later. β
