Chapter Seventy-Four: A Crowd of Corpses Attack the Door
The corpses downstairs in the pharmacy began to move, and the obstacles in front of them were gone. The only thing that can protect Wang Meiqi's four people is the rolling shutter door, but how long can this thin rolling shutter door last, after all, there is a giant mutated living corpse downstairs.
Li Siqiang raised his assault rifle and prepared to strafe the living corpses below.
An Jinglong immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Don't attack them yet, let them destroy the first roller shutter."
Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo were very surprised and said in unison.
"Uncle An, are you crazy!"
"Let them rush in, won't we die?"
After An Jinglong looked at the two excited young men opposite, he said to Wang Meiqi, who was a little calmer.
"Shooting them in the street will eventually consume all our bullets, and it will not be possible to kill all the living corpses, and we will still die when the time comes."
"Since we use guns to defend, we have to use everything we can use around us!"
Wang Meiqi asked An Jinglong.
"What do you think, tell us now."
"If possible, we will fully cooperate with you!"
An Jinglong saw that there were still calm people among the three people, he smiled slightly and continued.
"We've put the ground where we're fighting the living corpses."
An Jinglong's hand pointed to the stairs behind him.
"If we let the hordes of living corpses enter the room and we stick to the stairs, then everyone's chances of survival will increase several times."
"Taking advantage of the small space of the staircase, even if there are more living corpses coming in, they must go upstairs one by one, and then we can solve them one by one with weapons."
After Wang Meiqi listened to An Jinglong's method, she said excitedly.
"Uncle An, your method is really good."
"First, we can effectively kill living corpses with the least amount of ammunition."
"Second, in the narrow stairwell, the corpses of the living corpses will be blocked more and more, thus forming a barrier that can protect us."
An Jinglong looked at Wang Meiqi and added while smiling.
"Yes, you're right, if the corpses of the living corpses can't stop the living corpses behind them, then we still have this second roller shutter door upstairs, but I really don't want us to use that door."
At this moment, the living corpses downstairs slowly advanced towards the rolling shutter door on the first floor, but the big guy stood still and did not move, just looking at the four people above him with vicious eyes.
An Jinglong saw that the corpses had already begun to move, and he shouted to Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo beside him.
"You two and I can quickly throw everything that can be moved in this room down the stairs, and we can block it for a while, as long as we make sure that the living corpses don't swarm in, and in the end we still have to use their corpses as barricades."
After hearing An Jinglong's order, Li Siqiang and Jia Xingguo immediately rummaged through the cabinets on the second floor, and Wang Meiqi was in charge of window guard, in case the attack of the living corpse started, she could notify the other three.
The three people in the room kept searching for things on the second floor that could be used as obstacles, sofas, tables, coffee tables, televisions, as long as they could use large items, none of them were left behind. The scene at this time seems familiar, just like when Wei Tianci and others were in the faculty dormitory building, but the second floor where Wang Meiqi and they are located cannot be compared with the faculty dormitory building of Guanghua Ocean College, and there are really few things that can be used.
Li Siqiang came to the door of the toilet, and he found that there was a door in the deepest part of the corridor in front of the toilet.
"Uncle An, there is another door here, what kind of room is inside?"
An Jinglong replied to Li Siqiang.
"It's a utility room and it doesn't help us much, so don't bother with that room."
As soon as he heard that it was a utility room, Li Siqiang didn't think about searching it anymore, after all, he had to pass by the foul-smelling room in the toilet.
Suddenly, Maggie Wang, who was standing at the window, shouted to everyone.
"Oh no, the living corpses are starting to attack the roller shutter door, everyone go and get ready for defense!"
In an instant, everyone ran to the staircase from all directions on the second floor.
Outside the pharmacy...
A group of ordinary living corpses began to slap on the roller shutter door, and there were constantly living corpses joining it. You don't need to look with the naked eye, just by listening to the sound of slapping, you can know that there are more and more living corpses attacking the main entrance, because the sound of slapping is getting more and more frequent and louder!
The only incomprehensible thing is that the huge 'violent corpse' still stands motionless, as if it is there to supervise the work. If it also attacked the door, it probably wouldn't need those ordinary living corpses, and this behemoth could destroy the rolling shutter door at the door by itself.
Four men stood at the top of the stairs in full gear. Li Siqiang and An Jinglong were holding an automatic rifle and a police riot gun, Jia Xingguo and Wang Meiqi were holding a pistol in their hands, and of course, the extremely sharp military machete was also in Jia Xingguo's hand, he held a gun in one hand and a knife in the other.
An Jinglong said to everyone.
"Don't panic when the living corpses break through the door for a while, there are those furniture and electrical appliances below to block them, which can slow them down."
"Let's shoot at the head and try to kill a living corpse with one bullet so we can save ammo."
"Be sure to fire alternately, I'll cover everyone behind with a pistol first, and in case the automatic rifle and three pistols can't stand it, I'll immediately switch to a riot gun and repel them with shotguns."
"If such a powerful firepower still slips through the net, Xiao Jia will rely on your military machete to deal with the living corpses in close proximity."
After hearing An Jinglong's tactical arrangement, everyone collectively shouted.
"Yes!"
These two words were firm and powerful, and from their voices it could be heard that these people were not afraid of death at all. After all, they are military and police backgrounds, and they are not at the same level as the survivors in Guanghua Ocean Academy.
At the moment when the word 'received' came from upstairs, the rolling shutter door on the first floor was squeezed out of shape by the living corpses, and the black living corpses squeezed in from the door into the room. But when they enter the room, they move very slowly, and the 'barricades' all over the floor play a big role.
Although An Jinglong couldn't see the whole picture of the first floor clearly, just by looking at the place where the moonlight was shining at the door, there were constantly living corpses entering, and he could already deduce how many living corpses there were on the first floor.
An Jinglong's right hand was slowly raised, and he carefully observed the lower floor of the stairs.
When the figure of a living corpse loomed on the stairs, he quickly lowered his hand and said to everyone.
"Prepare to attack!"
After the order was given, the sound of gunfire was heard in the room, which echoed throughout the pharmacy.
Of course, the four of them didn't shoot blindly. They don't shoot when the living corpses don't come within a meter of them. Although this increases the risk factor, it can ensure the thickness of the corpse wall.
In their hearts, they weren't worried about these ordinary living corpses at all, what they were worried about was the giant mutated living corpse. Because mutated living corpses all have different degrees of intelligence, just the giant living corpse just now knew how to throw the corpses of companions of the same level into the distance, then this corpse wall would definitely not be able to stop it.
What the four people upstairs are looking forward to most now is the appearance of that big guy, as long as it is dead, this layer of corpse wall will be invincible.
But...
The stairs were half full of corpses, but the 'big man' never appeared.
Jia Xingguo scolded.
"Your grandmother has a leg, why is she so cowardly and hasn't appeared yet, so what's the point of these living corpses we killed."
"Damn!"
Wang Meiqi immediately stopped Jia Xingguo.
"Shut up, monkey, that's where the cunning of mutated living corpses lies."
"Uncle An, this won't work, even if the corpse wall is established, the giant mutant living corpse will be able to fall apart in a few clicks, and it seems that we have to make plans early."
An Jinglong also felt extremely bad when he saw this, and he replied to Wang Meiqi while shooting with a pistol.
"Thousands of calculations, I didn't count that the shriveled calf has such a high IQ, knows how to use cannon fodder, everyone shoots as many living corpses as possible, and if we really can't hold it, we will put down this rolling shutter door above our heads."
Countless bullets were fired in the room, and the opposite wall was full of holes, large and small, which looked like they were left by different firearms, and the corpses on the stairs were almost obscuring the view of the first floor.
When they were about to despair, a roar came from the doorway on the first floor.
"Ahh Oh..."
After hearing this familiar voice, everyone closed their mouths happily, and they immediately aimed towards the 'violent corpse'. The moment they were about to shoot, something unexpected happened.
I saw that the 'violent corpse' casually grabbed the neck of a thin female living corpse next to him, and then raised it to block his head.
This scene made Jia Xingguo angry and scolded his mother.
"By your mother's, she's fucking smarter than the giant living corpse that used her hands to block her head before!"
An Jinglong said to everyone.
"Stop firing and let it come, didn't you notice that as soon as this giant living corpse appeared, the other ordinary living corpses were no longer attacking."
Although everyone couldn't see clearly, they listened to the sound in the dark, and the gunfire just now was deafening, and suddenly it fell silent, and everyone could still hear 'hum.' Airplanes... Hum...' sound.
After a few moments, they could clearly hear the roar of the 'Violent Corpse' approaching, but they couldn't hear any of the ordinary living corpses making a sound.
When a huge head slowly appeared at the top of the corpse wall, everyone's minds were stunned.
In the past few days since the beginning of the cataclysm, these people have seen countless living corpses, and they are used to terrifying appearances, but the appearance of this giant living corpse has refreshed their perception of living corpses these days.
(What did the 'violent corpse' they saw look like, why they were so frightened, and what dangers they would face next.) If you want to know the next story, stay tuned for the next chapter! )
