Volume 1: The Journey of the Dead Chapter 21: Choice
Ancient Sword Castle, to put it simply, is a private museum, most of the exhibits in it are ancient weapons, and there are relatively few modern weapons, but each one is a fine product.
After discussing with Ye Yao, Su Chen chose the Ancient Sword Fort as the location of this operation.
In the early morning of the second day, Su Chen and Ye Yao set off after eating breakfast.
The geographical location of Gujian Fort is very special, it is located at the junction of the urban and suburban areas of Nanshi, which means that there are many roads near Gujian Fort, and the flow of people will naturally not be less.
Judging from the map, the Ancient Sword Fort is about three kilometers away from Su Chen's house, and if you don't follow the route halfway, it can reach up to 3.5 kilometers at most, which is not too far, for the sake of safety, Su Chen decided to go on foot.
Ye Yao's thoughts were almost the same as Su Chen's, and he also adhered to the cautious way of moving forward, and would rather spend more time than take more risks.
The imitation pistol without steel balls was just an ornament, Su Chen was more cautious on the way to the Ancient Sword Castle, and Ye Yao on the side acted as a deputy, and he agreed very much with Su Chen's caution.
The two of them set off at half past seven and came to the vicinity of their destination, it was already nine o'clock, and for this operation, they were well prepared and did not plan to go back easily.
Similar to what Su Chen expected, the Ancient Sword Fort is the area where zombies gather the most on this street, and at a glance, there are at least fifty zombies.
The ancient sword castle is very luxuriously decorated, although the appearance is a small castle, but it is not retro, it looks more like a condensed version of the modern city.
However, the Ancient Sword Castle, surrounded by corpses, was slightly dilapidated and desolate, and it had long lost its momentum.
I don't know much about Su Chen of the Ancient Sword Castle, but generally this kind of building, there will be more than two entrances and exits, in addition to the standard front and rear, there are also emergency exits, and if the flow of people is large, there will even be five.
The two of them circled around the ancient sword castle, and found that there were a lot of zombies around the ancient sword castle, and there were more than a hundred zombies around the castle, and there must be a reason why this group of zombies did not leave, if nothing else, it should be the living people in the ancient sword castle that attracted their attention.
The two glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes, it was not difficult to sneak into the Ancient Sword Castle, but there were still living people in the Ancient Sword Castle, Su Chen and Ye Yao would definitely be regarded as intruders if they entered like this, it was good that the number of the other party was small, but once there were too many people, the situation would be quite bad.
"What should we do, shall we wait and see what happens, or shall we go in and feel the situation?" Su Chen asked.
"I think we should go back first and bring more food to squat here, if there are too many of them, there will be a food crisis soon, and then it will naturally come out, I believe we will wait for five days at most, and we will definitely have a harvest." Ye Yao thought about it and said.
"It's safe to do this, but it's a waste of time, and at a time like this, let alone five days, even one day, there may be a new crisis, and it's acceptable to wait for a short time, and I feel that waiting for a long time for the sake of safety outweighs the loss."
"In that case, it's up to you."
"Alas, I think we can only go first to find out the situation, once there is a situation, retreat immediately, if the other party does not plan to let us go, we will put the corpses in, we must not let them feel better." Su Chen looked at the ancient sword castle not far away and said slowly.
"It's too vicious to let zombies in, no matter how they say they are human, but in special cases, I support your approach." Ye Yao responded.
"Then let's go, help me watch the back, you don't have to worry about the zombies in the other three ways, I can ensure your safety." After the words fell, Su Chen walked slowly towards the only emergency exit of the Ancient Sword Castle.
There are a total of three entrances and exits in the Ancient Sword Castle, and the number of zombies near the emergency exit is the least, only seven zombies, as long as there is no big movement during the battle, the number of zombies that Su Chen and Ye Yao need to face will not increase.
The seven zombies were very close to each other, and as soon as Su Chen stepped into the hearing range of one of the zombies, it caused a chain reaction, and the seven zombies roared in a low voice and ran towards Su Chen's direction.
Su Chen was unmoved, he jumped up in one step, obviously to fight this group of zombies.
Ye Yao, who was following behind Su Chen, shook her head inwardly, she thought that Su Chen's actions were a little self-confident, but she didn't stop her, her task was just to be optimistic about Su Chen's rear, and everything else had nothing to do with her.
Su Chen is very confident in killing these ordinary zombies, but his self-confidence is not yet inflated, if these seven zombies are replaced by long-arm zombies or heavy-fist zombies, Su Chen has already made a detour at this time, even if he takes the front door, it is impossible to take this line.
Su Chen's self-confidence stems from his own strength and understanding of the enemy.
After losing the imitation pistol, Su Chen put more energy on the Nepalese saber, and in order to make the Nepalese saber more suitable, he even modified the handle of the knife himself.
I saw Su Chen stride up, the zombie closest to Su Chen was only half a meter away from him, it stands to reason that if he entered the range of three meters, the zombie would charge at full speed, but Su Chen quickly rushed into its "domain", and did not give it a chance to speed up at all, that is to say, between the two, the speed difference is more than a star and a half.
Before the zombie could speed up, the Nepalese saber in Su Chen's hand was on its neck, the huge momentum contained the power of rage, and the sharp blade was even more dazzling and cold, Su Chen didn't give it a chance to pounce on him, and before the blood on the tip of the knife landed, he could hear the soft sound of the zombie's head hitting the ground.
Cutting off the head of a zombie, the resistance of the blade made Su Chen's speed slow down, taking this opportunity, Su Chen left and right, and four zombies rushed up, wanting to bite the prey in front of him.
Su Chen's face was expressionless, he shook his right shoulder, ignoring the trembling right arm, and launched the most fierce attack on the zombie closest to him, the zombie closest to Su Chen was unfortunately picked open by the tip of the knife, and the long knife went straight in, directly smashing its brain.
During this period, Su Chen's afterglow clearly saw the zombie rushing towards him on the right, and at the moment when the tip of the knife stabbed into the zombie's throat, his heavy foot hit the lower abdomen of the zombie on the right side, and the zombie couldn't help but retreat backwards after receiving a huge momentum, hitting the zombie who rushed behind him, and the balance instantly lost control, and the two zombies fell to the ground one after another.
Su Chen's kick used all his strength, and with the power of his right foot on the zombie's lower abdomen, Su Chen's body was able to quickly retreat and avoid the bite of the two zombies on the left.
Seeing that they hadn't bitten their prey, the two zombies on the left roared in anger and rushed towards Su Chen at full speed.
Su Chen didn't dare to slack off, and stabilized his body as fast as he could, because his right hand trembled so much, he changed the Nepalese saber to his left hand, and the tip of the knife stabbed fiercely into the eye socket of the leftmost zombie that rushed towards him, and at the same time, his right fist swung out violently and smashed on the chin of the zombie on the left.
The zombie's eye socket on the far left burst instantly, and the tip of the knife directly exploded its eyeballs, piercing its brain, and suddenly red and white liquid spurted out of the pitch-black hole, and the zombie on the left who was hit by Su Chen's jaw just took a step back and pounced on Su Chen again.
Taking advantage of this gap, Su Chen pulled out the Nepalese saber, the blade was slightly deflected, and there was an extra trace of blood on the throat of the zombie on the left, it was not dead, but the control system was destroyed by this knife, and its mobility was completely destroyed, and it fell to the ground like a dead corpse.
Before the zombies on the left fell to the ground, the two zombies on the right had already climbed up from the ground, and the zombie who should have fallen last rushed towards Su Chen frantically before the two zombies on the right.
Su Chen did not refuse, the blade once again emitted a blood-red light, and there was a sudden flush in its throat, and blood overflowed from the cracks, just like the previous zombie, it would lose control of its body.
It wasn't until Su Chen deprived it of control of the body that the last two zombies appeared within Su Chen's three meters again, Su Chen's face was expressionless, his blood-stained face couldn't tell whether it was cruel or cold, the blood of the knife body was very dazzling in the sun, Su Chen stepped over, and came directly to the zombies, the knife body waved with it, and the blood began to overflow, and his right face, I don't know how many blood flowers gathered together, forming a blood barrier.
Su Chen took a breath, stabbed the four zombies on the ground who were not dead, and said lightly, "Thank you." ”
Behind Su Chen, Ye Yao withdrew the blood-stained butterfly knife and looked at the dead zombie at his feet, "This is what I should do." ”
Su Chen exhaled lightly and said slowly, "Let's go." ”
Ye Yao didn't make a sound, just silently followed behind him, at this moment, she had the most intuitive understanding of Su Chen's close combat, she finally knew where Su Chen's confidence came from, but she didn't know if the zombie behind Su Chen was not solved by her, Su Chen in the previous situation could kill the eighth zombie without injury.
She didn't know, Su Chen wouldn't give her an answer, and she couldn't guess.
Ye Yao only saw Su Chen's glorious side, but he didn't know that in the previous battle, because he always maintained the highest combat posture, his arms were shaking very much at the moment, as for the zombie behind Su Chen, he knew it in his heart, if it wasn't for Ye Yao's help, he couldn't have won this battle without injury.
After all, ordinary zombies are the lowest opponents, if they are replaced by seven ordinary people, they all have the determination to die in battle, even if they don't carry weapons, Su Chen thinks that the probability of being able to win will not be higher than ten percent, as for carrying weapons, one-on-one Su Chen can't guarantee that he can defeat the opponent without injury.
I have to say that the zombies in the current situation are much weaker than ordinary people with weapons, this is just for now, God knows a few months, a few years later, these zombies will not grow up like human infancy becomes infancy, so every day at the beginning of the end of the world should be cherished.
"This door is locked, take out the rope, and we'll climb up." Su Chen pushed the safe passage door hard, as he thought, the other party would not be stupid enough not to lock the door, but they definitely would not have thought that someone would break through the zombie group and climb in through the window on the second floor.
Su Chen and Ye Yao discussed this situation before leaving, and the two of them also patronized the building materials store near their home yesterday.
Su Chen didn't know much about the use of this kind of rope, but he had watched a survival TV series to some extent, and tried to throw the hook at one end of the rope into the window, Su Chen's luck was very good, he threw it in the first time, and also hooked something, Su Chen pressed it with his body, and after making sure that he could bear his own weight, he nodded with Ye Yao and climbed up.
The window on the second floor of the Ancient Sword Castle was much higher than the second floor of an ordinary building, and the effort required was far greater than Su Chen expected, but fortunately, he successfully climbed into the window.
This is a toilet with some smell, Su Chen looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he beckoned to Ye Yao.
