Chapter 55: The Book of Flyers

"What should I do?" Lian Ye asked me, "We can't go down without a rope!" ”

"It's not a matter of going down...... "I thought about it, there are sheets in the supermarket, which can be turned into ropes and hang down, just like my cousin and I did when we were in the hotel, the key problem is that there is only one horse left, the saddle, last time I wanted to change it, but I forgot it when I was busy going back to the castle, and now it is still a single-seater saddle, I ride with the petite Qian Duoduo, and it is still very crowded, not to mention the adult with Lianye!

Moreover, the return journey took almost two hours, and when we arrived at the castle, it was past five o'clock, it was time to get dark, and the horses had to be at full speed in order to reach the castle safely.

"If we go back, we can only go back alone." I say.

"That'...... Not going back? Even Ye was hesitating, she and I both understood how dangerous it would be on the road to go back alone at this time.

"If you don't go back, and I'm afraid that Dongdong will worry about them, wouldn't it be more dangerous if they recklessly rode out of the city to find us?" I shook my head.

"Hey, if only I could still call!" Lian Ye choked his wrists.

Isn't that nonsense! If we can still make a phone call, why should we bother with this, just call them over while it's still dark?

"Well, leaf," I said, "you stay, and I'll go back myself, and tomorrow I'll persuade them to move here together." ”

"No! You can't go back on your own! Lian Ye grabbed my arm and cut the railway, "Let's go together!" Stay together! If you hang up, how will I explain to them when I go back?! ”

"Then you let me think about it......" I lit a cigarette and sat on the rooftop, looking in the direction of the other side of the sea, and I could vaguely see the spire of the mud castle of Diss.

Since I can see the top of the castle, then, at the top of the castle, the other side can see us!

I remember that when Hu Fei and the others came to defect, Cai Mingming carried an astronomical telescope on his back and set it up in the tower for observation.

If it's getting late and we haven't gone back, my cousin will definitely use a telescope to look at the Yangshan Islands, even if it's 70 kilometers away, as long as we're on the rooftop, no! The roof is too low, and it is too much to stand out from many buildings, as long as we make a large mark on the top of the tower crane to explain the situation here, and let them not come out!

I said my own idea, Lian Ye said that it is feasible, but the distance is too far, and a large marker is needed to do it, and after thinking about it, we decided to use the container, but it is not written on the container, and I think the side area of the container is still not large enough.

The two quickly worked out a plan, division of labor, I went to find yellow paint (yellow light has the strongest penetration, so the car fog lamps use yellow light source), Lianye went to the household goods area of the supermarket, looking for light-colored sheets, not enough to go to the warehouse to find as many as I could, and then used needles and threads to simply sew the sheets together to form a rectangular "sheet" 12 meters wide (the length of the container) and more than 30 meters long.

There was no paint in the supermarket, so I rappelled down with a rope from the warehouse, rode up to Santos, and went from dock to warehouse to look for it.

Half an hour later, I finally found a large number of barrels of paint in a container, but there were no yellow ones, they were all red, and they were okay, so they could be used.

I used my unique skills - truck ignition technology, directly drove a car of paint back to the supermarket, the amount of work to sew the sheets was too large, not completed, I climbed back along the rope, on the roof to help her sew together, and finally at half past four, completed the production of the big sheets, and at this time, the sun was slanting in the west, I was worried that the zombies began to move, did not dare to go below to paint, with a tower crane to transport the paint to the roof, on the roof to complete the logo painting.

In order to make the characters bigger, we decided to minimize the amount of words, like sending a telegram, cherishing words like gold, and after deliberation, only eight large characters were written.

"Lang Ye is safe, return tomorrow afternoon!"

In this way, my cousin and the others will be reassured, at least they will not risk going out of the city to find us overnight.

After writing, Lianye and I hung the two corners of the banner at the bottom of the container, and tied a few red bricks to the other two corners as counterweights, so that the banner would not be blown up by the wind and rolled, and my cousin would not be able to see the words on it.

After hanging the banner, I went up to the tower crane and raised the container to the highest point, changing the angle so that the side of the banner with words was facing the direction of the Diess mud castle.

By the sea, from time to time, the wind would blow the banners, and I had to sit in the crane cab all the time to fine-tune it.

Tune and tune, because the location is very high, I accidentally found that there are zombies moving in this direction over there in the residential area, I asked Lian Ye to go back to the supermarket first, anyway, she has a long L, she can cover me from a distance.

Lianye nodded, returned to the supermarket, climbed onto the rooftop, and aimed at me with L.

Soon, a lot of zombies gathered on the dock, all of them were ordinary zombies, they couldn't climb ladders, and they couldn't get up to the tower crane.

In this way, I held on to the tower crane operation room until six o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened, I don't know if my cousin saw it, I used the telescope I carried with me (the magnification is not high, for the Ranger reconnaissance) to look that side, the top of the castle tower was almost impossible to see, I looked at the bridge again, except for a few wandering zombies, everything was quiet.

But I still didn't feel at ease, for fear that they wouldn't see the slogan, so they came to us, so they told Lian Ye to delay for a while.

By half-past six, the sun had sunk into the land on the western side of the sea, and only the sun was left in the air, and the waves were silent, slowly moving, and the bewitching sunset seemed to have knocked over all our carts of red paint, half of which was sprinkled on the sea, and on one side of the sky, seagulls and some unknown birds were circling among the small waves to feed, not knowing whether they were preying on insects or fish and shrimp in the shallow sea.

"Don't look! Come back! Lian Ye suddenly shouted, interrupting my romantic viewing, and I was going to write a poem!

I came back to my senses, looked down at the tower crane, and there were already more than a hundred zombies gathered, and they were pressed together, stretching out their claws to me, baring their teeth, and I couldn't go down directly.

But not afraid, I had a plan, I adjusted the direction of the tower crane, turned to the supermarket, and slowly landed the container with a banner on the roof of the supermarket, and then, I got out of the cab, climbed up along the tower crane, and prepared to take the air passage back to the supermarket and Lianye to meet.

I was a little afraid of heights, and I didn't dare to look down, and when I reached the corner of the boom, I still couldn't hold back and glanced down.

Nima! It's scary! If I fell, I wouldn't have fallen to my death, because I would have fallen into the pile of losses that had now become more than 300 heads!

I quickly looked up, looked at the sea in the distance, closed my eyes again, slowed down, climbed up the boom, hung the rope around my waist on the iron frame, and fastened it, so that at least I had a psychological comfort, and I was not afraid of falling.

Climb for a while, slow down for a while, and climb again, even Ye was impatient to wait over there, so he simply lay on the warm rooftop, resting his head on his hands, crossing Erlang's legs, and watching me perform clumsy aerial acrobatics.

It took me twenty minutes before I finally climbed to the end of the boom, unfastened the safety cable, buckled it to the cable, took off my jacket, wrapped it around the cable, and held it with both hands as a buffer.

Sou! Descending smoothly to the end of the steel cable, from where the steel cable was divided into four strands, each hanging from the corner of the container, but here it was only a little more than a meter from the container, I unfastened the lock around my waist and jumped straight down, and then jumped off the container.

My feet were numb, but I guess most of them were scared.

Lian Ye got up and helped me walk a few steps: "Are you okay?" ”

I flicked my legs: "It's okay." ”

Lian Ye shook me off and wiped his hands on his clothes with a look of disgust: "Climbing a tower crane is sweating all over, are you very empty?" ”

“……”

After teasing me, Lian Ye looked at me intently for a while, from head to toe, and from foot to head, I just took off my coat in order to protect my hands, she stared at me like this, and saw that I was hairy, and subconsciously covered herself: "Do you want to ...... What? ”

Lian Ye nodded slowly: "Looking at your figure, I really think about it." ”

“……”

"Just kidding! I didn't expect you to look skinny and muscular. Lian Ye smiled and handed me a cigarette.

"That's, don't you look at our gang of survivors, which one has poor physical fitness?"

This is the truth, among our eight survivors, I don't need to say, semi-professional football player, Qian Dazhuang is a fitness coach, and his arms can be as thick as my calves; My cousin and cousin are both 170+ in size and have a good figure, why? Because my cousin has practiced taekwondo, I don't know what Lian Ye has practiced, anyway, her physique is no worse than her cousin, and before in the castle, the girls who were responsible for charging into battle were the two of them.

As for Dongdong, she was sprained because of her foot, don't forget that she is my classmate at Beijing Sports University, specializing in baseball, and Han Cheng can directly shoot zombies to the head, not to mention Su Lingge, I saw through it, a hidden peerless master; Don't look at Xiaoxiao's weak appearance, but in the hotel kitchen, but she saved my life, Xiaoxiao only used a frying pan to overturn a second-order zombie, and she jumped up from the side and back to attack at that time, which shows how good her body coordination is.

There is only one Qian Duoduo left, after all, she is only a junior high school student, and she is not in the battle sequence, however, there is a question, there were a lot of students in their cram school at that time, why was she the only student who survived in the end? Isn't it because compared to other junior high school students, Duoduo has a certain combat effectiveness?

Therefore, even if Lian Ye and I don't go back tonight, the castle can rest assured, even if there are third-order zombies attacking the city, I think my cousin and they should be able to deal with it.

The sunset disappeared, and night fell, Lian Ye and I, left and right, each circled the rooftop, and after confirming that several entrances and exits were tightly blocked, I returned to the inside of the supermarket, I hung the broken lock, and tied it firmly with the wire rope I carried, not to prevent zombies, but to prevent the mysterious survivor from sneaking in at night.

In order to ensure safety, Lian Ye and I spent another half an hour inspecting the supermarket on the third floor floor by floor, and after confirming that there were no zombies in the supermarket, we returned to the restaurant on the third floor.

If you are tired for a day, you can skip lunch and have dinner.

"Who cooks?" Lian Ye frowned and asked, the head chef Dongdong was not there.

"Guess the box." I also don't want to cook, and I have two wins in three games.

I lost......
