Chapter 2: Out of the City

Shuzhong City, the capital of Sichuan and Shu Province, which used to be neon and crowded at night, is now lined with many pillars of fire, and a dome of smoke has been propped up, and the screams and wails of the stars seem to embellish this dead city with a little vitality.

"Company Commander Xu, what's the matter? Are they all around? ”

An officer was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a building, staring blankly at the two small bags made of walking corpses on the road below, and then he slowly raised the intercom in his hand.

"Well, most of the walking corpses that can be observed are all around you......"

"Okay, after 331 and I blow ourselves up at the same time, you can take your people to break through quickly"

"Commander Zhao...... is there any other way?"

"You know, our close defense weapons are out of ammunition, the fuel is at the bottom, the ...... that can't get out, okay, move in five minutes, you and your people are ready"

"Received ......"

After a call, the officer quickly descended the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, knocked on the door of a room with a security room written on it, where five armed soldiers and a dozen civilians were hiding.

"The two tanks outside will explode themselves in about four minutes, and we must lead the crowd to break through from the south as soon as possible after the explosion, and rush up to the elevated highway out of the city as quickly as possible, do you understand?"

"Understood!"

After the officer gave the order, he and everyone began to prepare for the next operation.

"Company Commander Xu, you guys get ready, 331, listen to me count down and act together!"

"331 Received"

"Brothers of the tank company, thank you, go all the way!"

After a brief silence, a firm reading came from the intercom.

“3”

“2”

“1”

"Bang ......"

The two violent explosions almost at the same time made the soldiers and civilians hiding in the building a little stunned for a while.

"Let's go!"

The officer who reacted first yelled, and the group quickly got up and ran towards the outside of the building.

Outside, the smoke choked everyone and coughed and wheezed, and the broken stone glass and stumps on the ground made it impossible for the group to move quickly.

Fortunately, there were not a few walking corpses along the way, and the soldiers still covered the people and came to the viaduct smoothly.

"Zhang Yang, big man, you two and I are going side by side, you three are looking at the ass".

The viaduct was already blocked by all kinds of vehicles, and the commander had observed this from the tall building before the operation, so he had a plan in mind about how to pass.

After listening to the commander's arrangement, the soldiers nodded their heads and began to take their places, carefully walking across the viaduct.

"Ahh

As they passed a car, a quiet walking corpse slammed into the window, screaming at a woman who happened to be passing by.

"Quiet!"

The commander shouted at the woman as low as he could, and the woman quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

At this time, a soldier asked the commander with his eyes what to do with the walking corpses that were still slamming into the car, and the commander motioned to check the car door and move on, not to risk killing, and once again stressed to the survivors in the middle of the group that they must not make any more noise.

The group continued to move forward in such a state of extreme vigilance.

As the afternoon approached, the procession was getting closer and closer to the edge of the city, and it was already possible to see the hills outside the city, but the road conditions were getting worse and worse, and the number of corpses on each foot increased exponentially.

"Don't shoot unless you have to, we use the auxiliary road not far away to leave the elevated road first, and then turn into the right path, and quickly enter the mountains as appropriate."

Due to the closer to the checkpoint out of the city, the greater the number of walking corpses, this situation was also foreseeable, so the commander adjusted the evacuation route in a timely manner, as long as he could enter the mountains outside the city, even if one foot had already stepped out of the ghost gate.

If you want to enter the auxiliary road, you have to deal with the walking corpses in front of you first, the commander motioned for everyone to hide in place first, and he and the soldier named Zhang Yang slowly approached the walking corpses and solved them with daggers.

Due to the agility and experience of these soldiers, the walking corpses did not react, and everything went well, and when the passage was relatively safe, the commander beckoned to the group, and the larger soldier prompted the people behind him to lower their bodies and move towards the auxiliary road.

The team finally reached the surface, which was still congested with vehicles, but the situation provided cover for their movement.

Entering the path, along the middle of the two rows of vehicles, the team was also moving forward in concealment, seeing that the foot of the mountain was just outside the two intersections, but at this time, on a balcony of a residential building on the side of the road, a walking corpse fell down, just falling in the middle of the team, like a boulder falling into the water, which suddenly made the situation uncontrollable.

"Zhang Yang, big man, take the lead in running, fat man, Ah Hu, Xiao Yuedong, you protect the two wings, my palace, you must do your best to protect the masses and escape into the mountains!"

The walking corpses, attracted by the loud noise, rushed from all directions like a stream of convergence, and for a moment there was a loud burst of gunfire and shouts.

In the face of the extremely fast and continuous flow of walking corpses, the team that barely ran through the first intersection was shocked and scattered, and the soldiers and civilians were thrown to the ground and bitten by the walking corpses.

At the moment when he was buried by the walking corpse, the commander pulled out the fuses of two grenades, and the strong explosion incidentally detonated several cars around him, temporarily slowing down the pursuit of the walking corpses in the rear.

"I can't rush over, Zhang Yang, I'll cover, you quickly take them to find a place to hide!"

Looking at the surging walking corpses in front of him, the big man could only give up the breakthrough, raising the machine gun in his hand and shooting non-stop, just to win a little time for his comrades and people behind him to hide.

......。

In a small three-story building, behind the gate where the lock was broken, there were all kinds of heavy objects piled up densely, a soldier and six surviving people went up the stairs panting, and after confirming safety, everyone sat down in the corridor on the third floor, no one said a word for a long time, the atmosphere was extremely low, but the walking corpses outside were making a lot of noise.

"Eh, I said to be a soldier, you have to find a way, you can't let us wait here to die."

A man in a suit said to Zhang Yang with an accusatory tone, Zhang Yang just raised his head slightly and glanced at the man in the suit, and did not say anything, but at this time, the two women also whispered to the man in the suit.

"Brother, ignore them, drink saliva first."

"Eh, I mean, what kind of green onion are you a little brat? I know that they are sycophants, aren't they soldiers here to save us, what's wrong with me asking him to find a way to keep us alive, ah? ”

Wang Xi, who was sitting next to Zhang Yang, couldn't stand it anymore, took out his last small half bottle of mineral water and handed it to Zhang Yang, and said the words that wanted to comfort him, but who knew that it attracted a few words from the man in the suit and the two women.

Zhang Yang took the mineral water handed over by Wang Xi and poured it into it in a big sip.

"You guys wait here, I'll go to the top of the building and see if there's any way to break out......"

Zhang Yang threw away the empty bottle, smiled at Wang Xi and thanked him, and then went to the roof.

"Hmph, young people nowadays don't have fart skills, but they are good at patting sycophants."

The man in the suit continued to tease Wang Xi, but Wang Xi didn't pay attention, just sat there with his head down.

"You said there was only one baby soldier left, can you think of a way to take us out?"

"Hey, I see, we're afraid we're going to die..."

"Ahh What can I do about this..."

Several other survivors were disturbing themselves in the whispering memoirs, and not long after, Zhang Yang returned from the rooftop.

"I'll go and distract the walking corpses from the streets, and you can run into the mountains at the right time, and don't go out of the city checkpoint, which has already fallen."

Zhang Yang admonished expressionlessly, while removing the 95 rifle and carrying gear in his hand and handing them to Wang Xi.

"You'll be responsible for protecting everyone in my place, you take these with you first, and I'll teach you how to use them."

Wang Xi originally thought that Zhang Yang gave him these because he needed his help to lure away the walking corpses, but who knew that it was not at all the same as he thought.

"Brother, I'll go with you to lure away the walking corpse"

Wang Xi's words are indeed the truth, he knows that he has no confidence at all, but he still wants to help this soldier brother who is a few years older than him, just because in the past few days, they have been using their lives in exchange for the safety of their little people, although Wang Xi has no ability, but he still wants to do something, and he feels passable in his heart.

"I'll do it alone, you're too cumbersome, if you really want to help me, just do as I say, come, here is the magazine, here is the loading, and then pull the trigger to fire...... Remember? ”。

"Well, remember, but brother, I'm afraid I'm ......"

"It's all in this situation, what are you afraid of, maybe there is some hope for being alive, dead...... That is, to die, ah, don't be afraid"

Zhang Yang patted Wang Xi on the shoulder, got up and removed the mop of a mop on the side, took the wooden stick, looked at everyone, said, take care, and ran up to the top of the building.

Since the buildings in this area are almost small farmhouse courtyards, and the walls are also connected, Zhang Yang can also cross one house after another, one room after another, along the way, he used the mop stick to hit something that could make a loud noise, attracting the walking corpses on this section of the road to follow him all the way.

Here, Wang Xi and the others were also holding the windows on the first floor, opening a little curtain to observe the movement of the walking corpses outside.

"Boy, give me the gun and bullets"

Just as everyone was gently removing the furniture blocking the door, the man in the suit walked up to Wang Xi and asked Wang Xi to hand over the things that Brother Bing gave him to himself.

"Why should you give it to you?"

"I don't want to give my life to a little kid like you, anyway, I also went abroad to shoot targets with real guns, it's better than your sycophant who touched a gun for the first time, what do you think?"

The rest of the people almost overwhelmingly demanded that Wang Xi hand over the guns and let the men in suits protect them.

In this case, Wang Xi did not argue, he threw everything that Zhang Yang handed over to him at the feet of the man in the suit.

The man in the suit snorted coldly at Wang Xi, then put on all the equipment, and at the same time began to command the others to clean up the furniture blocking the door and prepare to escape into the mountains.

Wang Xi followed the five people in front of him who were almost hugging each other and slowly returned to the path, watching that the walking corpse had already followed a knocking sound and retreated in the opposite direction of the mountain, and then began to run desperately to the foot of the mountain.

Wang Xi stood for a while longer than the others, because he still wanted to find out where the figure was now, but he only heard the sound and saw no one.

Wang Xi turned around and ran two steps, but when he looked up, he saw a group of people standing in place in front of him, and he caught up and saw that the two walking corpses in front of him who could only crawl were slowly crawling towards them.

"Uncle, don't shoot, they're slow, we just need to rush over."

Looking at the man in the suit, his hands carrying the gun kept shaking, Wang Xi hurriedly made suggestions to everyone, and was the first to cleverly jump over the two crawling walking corpses, seeing Wang Bin's actions, the rest of the people just wanted to rush but didn't dare to do it in a hurry.

At this moment, the man in the suit did the stupidest thing......
