Chapter 70: Survival in the Lonely Alley
Desperately speeding up the pace of our feet, Xu Yiwen and I were chased very wolf.
As I said before, the speed of the walking corpse is actually not fast compared to normal people, but their speed is definitely not as slow as in the movies I watched before, and even when they are restless to catch up because they see a living person, the speed is faster than the speed at which we usually stride reads;.
It's just that they don't have a very good balance anymore, and they can't run, which will make them fall because they can't control it.
Even so, Xu Yiwen and I still can't get rid of the walking corpses behind us.
In the current situation, Xu Yiwen and I can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger.
We chose to take a long detour to avoid the dozen or twenty walking corpses in front of the door, which would make it impossible for Xu Yiwen and I to hide back in our homes, not only would we not be able to get rid of the walking corpses behind us, but we would also likely collide with the walking corpses blocking in front of the door.
And these walking corpses behind him are chasing very closely, Xu Yiwen and I don't dare to hide in the houses on both sides rashly, and even if we want to hide, there is nowhere to hide, most of the houses around here are lived, almost every house is closed, and the two of us can't get in.
After running ahead of the curve, I pointed to a path leading to the end of the village and said to Xu Yiwen: "Go around to the back, there are more empty yards there, see if you can find a slightly larger one to go in and hide, it's not a matter of running like this." "Obviously tired and half dead, but probably driven by the survival instinct, or maybe I was chased by the walking corpse like this, and I was subconsciously used to it, and I would say the previous paragraph very smoothly.
Xu Yiwen nodded, and immediately followed me towards the end of the village.
Another advantage of this is that most of the yards at the end of the village are mixed with some small vegetable gardens, vegetable fields, or small groves with only a dozen or twenty trees, not to mention that it is relatively easy to escape, and there is no need to worry about running in the village without a head in case you collide with another group of walking corpses at a certain bend.
But what Xu Yiwen and I didn't expect was that there were far more walking corpses entering the village than we imagined.
The commotion that had been made at the opening was like a guiding light, attracting the walking corpses around it.
Maybe someone made some movement during this period, and the vicious circle continued, making the walking corpses more and more crowded.
Xu Yiwen and I struggled to run towards the end of the village, thinking that we would face an empty open space reads;.
As we approached after a corner, Xu Yiwen and I both gasped and had to stop.
In the past, the empty vegetable field was also scattered with at least twenty walking corpses.
Although it is not dense, if Xu Yiwen and I really want to deal with it, we can still fight a bloody way, but then it will inevitably greatly reduce the speed of progress, and the walking corpses behind will soon catch up, which is equivalent to killing ourselves at that time.
All of a sudden, Xu Yiwen and I fell into a situation where there was a wolf in front and a tiger in the back.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on my head, and I subconsciously clenched the dagger in my hand.
I wanted to look back to see how far away the walking corpse was behind me, but after a glance, I suddenly found a path less than half a meter wide between the two adjacent courtyards next to us.
didn't have time to say more, grabbed Xu Yiwen's arm and turned the corner and rushed towards the gap path.
After I swore halfway through with Xu Yiwen and found the blocked firewood stack in front of me, I finally understood the true meaning of panicking. (.)
I didn't dare to look at Xu Yiwen's face, I couldn't wait to crash into the wall next to me.
How can you be so blind! didn't see if the road was open, so he broke in with Xu Yiwen?!!
Xu Yiwen had also noticed the situation ahead, but the walking corpses behind him had also begun to enter the cracks.
It's just that because the space is too small, they can't rush over in large numbers, and they can only squeeze in one by one.
But the walking corpses didn't know what teamwork was, and a group of walking corpses yelled and tried to rush in, and in the end, they all got stuck at the entrance, and for a while, none of them could squeeze in.
I was already weak in my legs, but when I saw this, I seemed to have caught a glimmer of life, and I and Xu Yiwen began to move towards the end quickly.
The firewood stack should be just in front of this crack, and it happened to be in the middle position, and after touching it, I didn't hesitate to start pulling out the firewood desperately and quickly, trying to dig out a hole in the shortest possible time.
But anyone who has seen the firewood stack knows that it is not as soft and easy to dig as we imagined, and it is basically pressed very tightly, and before I can pull it twice, Xu Yiwen behind him said anxiously: "He Mo, there are walking corpses coming in behind!" ”
Hearing this, I hurriedly looked back.
Sure enough, a walking corpse had managed to squeeze in.
It's just that he doesn't know how to turn sideways to make way for the gap to walk faster in this narrow alleyway as well as Xu Yiwen and me, so he basically takes two steps and hits twice.
Although the speed was slow, it kept approaching the two of us, and the most important thing was that after the first walking corpse squeezed in, the walking corpses behind began to come in one after another.
Looking back at the almost immobile pyre, I immediately fell into a state of anxiety that I was in a hurry but helpless.
The fire in my heart is terrible, but I can't think of any way to save myself for a while.
After a pause of about ten seconds, when the first walking corpse was about to approach, I simply let go of my body and pulled Xu Yiwen inside, and I squeezed to the side close to the walking corpse.
"What are you doing?" Xu Yiwen was a little puzzled.
With his back to him, the first walking corpse was about to approach, Xu Yiwen was about to drag me back, but I threw him away, and then after the walking corpse approached, he grabbed the hair of the walking corpse, pulled it towards his side, and then stabbed him in the head with a knife.
Because the alley is too narrow, after the walking corpse goes soft, it can't sleep on the ground at all when it sits on the ground and leans against the wall.
This limits the scope of our activities.
After taking a breath, my temples jumped up suddenly, and I shouted to Xu Yiwen behind me: "You can find a way to see if you can climb out!" I'll keep you in the way of the walking dead! ”
Xu Yiwen's tone was a little anxious and low: "He Mo! ”
"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up! "This is probably the first time I've suddenly gotten angry at someone.
Xu Yiwen didn't speak again at that time, I gritted my teeth and spoke: "Otherwise, two will die, and let your sister live alone in the world, lonely, otherwise you will live one reads;!" ”
On the one hand, I hope that Xu Yiwen can find a way to escape, and on the other hand, I hope that he will not leave and leave me here to face the near-desperate predicament in front of me.
Sure enough, the heroes in the storybook only survive in the story.
No one can be chivalrous when faced with something that threatens their life.
I couldn't do it anyway.
Xu Yiwen didn't answer my words, and when the second and third walking corpses gradually approached next to each other, I heard the sound of Suo Suo behind me, probably because Xu Yiwen had already tried to crawl out again.
I was trembling with fear from realizing that I might be doomed, but I had to rush towards the walking corpse, and I suddenly remembered!
The two buildings here are so close together, why do Xu Yiwen and I have to be attached to the firewood stack? Wouldn't it be possible to climb up to the roof by climbing directly on both sides of the wall?
stabbed the two walking corpses to death in a row, I took a few steps back with difficulty, and then looked back, otherwise Xu Yiwen had already begun to climb up according to the method I had thought of before.
Noticing my realization, Xu Yiwen's tightly biting lips loosened slightly, and he said with difficulty: "Climb up quickly"
This is a seemingly simple job, but in fact it is very physically demanding, and it requires very high body control and arm strength.
The idea is ideal, but the reality is too skinny.
I was so tired that I almost rolled my eyes just by holding my legs on both sides.
Although the progress of climbing up is quite smooth, it can be said to be turtle speed.
When I was less than a meter and a half from the ground, the walking corpses in the back had already crowded the aisle in front of me, and the front one had almost walked in front of me.
I was sweating and trying to climb up as quickly as possible, but before I could move a few centimeters, I was grabbed by the ankle by the walking corpse below and dragged down.
