Chapter 13: Formation
Five days later.
"Are you all ready?" Guan Fei's eyes glowed in the darkness.
I looked at Xiao Lin and then at Lu Feng, and they all nodded slightly, showing that they had enough rest and were ready to fight.
"Open the door!" I say.
With a click, the iron door to the top floor opened. Suddenly, the night sky was pouring rain in front of us, and we had been waiting for this rain for a whole week. Guan Fei held the thick iron rod in front of his chest and leaned forward. Followed by me and Xiao Lin, and Lu Feng followed behind.
A burst of lightning pierced the rainy night like a silver crack in a pitch-black dome, and then, "Boom! The entire night sky stirred slightly like the inner cavity of the speaker, and there was an amazing thunderous sound. I saw that the whole platform was covered with the dead, and the lightning reflected their figures like ghosts, and they were terrifying.
In the distance, the dead were still falling from the roof of the main building, falling on the platform below, or their heads shattered and they fell silent forever, or they stubbornly got up and joined the army of the dead on the platform.
"Watch out for the scattered standing!" Lu Feng shouted. Guan Fei took the lead, Xiao Lin and I stood on the two flanks behind, and the formation centered by Lu Feng began to move forward slowly.
I tightened my grip on my weapon, and the rain dripped from the brim of my homemade raincoat, obscuring my eyes. I blinked with difficulty, trying to look ahead of the dark shadows.
"Li Chen, left!" Lu Feng's flashlight struck, and I immediately saw a dead man standing in front of me, with a missing corner of his chin popping pus and blood.
I was well prepared, but the sudden terror frightened me, and I immediately raised my shield made of bed boards to block its body, and at the same time stabbed the iron pipe spear into the head of the dead man with my right hand, following the familiar track of hundreds of exercises. The spear was drawn, and the dead fell to the ground.
"Xiao Lin, right rear!"
Lu Feng's flashlight shone behind the right, and I heard the sound of blocking and stabbing, followed by the sound of a pop falling to the ground.
"Guan Fei, two in front!"
Guan Fei put the iron rod behind the shield, picked up the spear sharpened by the ordinary iron pipe in his right hand and swooped it twice, stabbing the approaching slowwalker.
The team of four of us was like a flat boat moving forward in a sea of corpses, guided by the light of Lu Feng's flashlight, and headed towards the other side of the platform at a steady speed.
"Li Chen, ahead!" "Guan Fei, rear left!" "Xiao Lin, right front!" The rain washed over the ground, and in the sweeping lights, I saw blood flowing in all directions along my feet. Soon, we crossed the cold alley connecting the two roofs and arrived at the roof of the library building.
It works! As I thought, I took the gap to release my grip from my weapon, turned my wrist, and then re-gripped it.
The day after they broke in, Lu Feng began to plan a battle against the cafeteria. He drew a diagram on paper, a triangular array. It is marked with a pattern that Guan Fei will deal with the enemy within 180° of the front, and Xiao Lin and I will each be responsible for the 90° range of the rear.
"This formation will ensure that we get to the edge of the ladder." He said.
"Then why are you going?" Xiao Lin complained. Her meaning was obvious, why it wasn't Lu Feng, but she, a girl, who was going to participate in the assassination.
"I have a more important mission," Lu Feng drew a flashlight in the center of the triangle, "I want to be the helmsman of this great ship sailing on the dark sea." ”
"Li Chen, top left!" His light struck again, and I immediately plunged my spear into the head of a hideous-looking dead man in the upper left corner. In the dark, this irradiation, blocking, stabbing, irradiation, blocking, stabbing...... The mode works like a precise machine. If viewed from above, we must look like a three-legged spider, moving forward smoothly and regularly.
And all of this depends on Lu Feng's dynamic vision, which can instantly grasp the position of things and analyze the trajectory of things. He is the eye of this formation.
Under his command, we soon reached the center of the roof of the library. Just when we all thought it would go on like this, a mutation was born.
"Hey, Lu Xiaolin, what are you doing?" Lu Feng's voice was a little more impatient, and his flashlight rarely stayed on Xiao Lin's side.
What's going on? I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Xiao Lin. I saw that she was trembling in the light, and her hand holding the wooden shield was also trembling violently. She looked at the dead person she was about to stab at and muttered, "Xiao Qian......"
I was taken aback, and immediately handed the iron pipe to Lu Feng: "You will watch the left side first, and I will help her!" ”
"I refuse, this will destroy the formation!" Lu Feng pushed back, and at the same time ordered Xiao Lin, "Kill it quickly!" ”
I let out a "tsk" and forcibly shoved the spear into his hand despite Lu Feng's objections, and at the same time ran towards Xiao Lin and snatched her weapon. When I was about to stab the deceased, Xiao Lin held my hand and shook her head desperately.
In the light of thunder and lightning, I saw the face of the deceased above the plank with a miraculously intact face. Although his face is pale, he can clearly show his face before birth, as if he was alive. I gritted my teeth and pushed her away with the plank, then pushed her through the crowd with the other end of the pipe.
"Cheer up!" I handed the weapon back to Xiao Lin, who was sobbing softly, "Think about our practice these days!" Xiao Lin nodded.
I knew I couldn't leave for too long, so I immediately returned to my place and took the spear from Lu Feng's hand.
"Li Chen, ahead, Swift Walker!" Lu Feng suddenly shouted, and at the same time as the light of his flashlight illuminated my front, a row of bloodshot teeth had already rushed over......
……
"Lu Feng, what if you encounter a speedwalker?" I asked, mechanically poking the iron pipe into the deceased's head. The genius on the roof of the building was slightly bright, and Xiao Lin and I had already come here to practice assassinating zombies under Lu Feng's semi-compulsion.
It was the third day of Lu Feng's arrival, and when I once again skillfully pierced the sharpened iron pipe into the pupils of the deceased, the initial indescribable fear and confusion were gone, and all that was left was the numbness of completing an ordinary task. When confronting the deceased for the first time, Xiao Lin couldn't even open her eyes, and only stabbed the tip of the spear into the deceased's face under Guan Fei's hand-in-hand guidance, and now even she is familiar with it.
"In the face of this kind of slow-moving dead, this kind of stabbing attack can be said to be the safest and most labor-saving," Lu Feng said while throwing the piled up corpses downstairs with Guan Fei, "This can be said to be a training ground customized for you, the zombies that fall here are basically missing arms and legs, and their mobility is halved compared to ordinary slow walkers, so it can be said that they are a group of live targets." ”
"But," Lu Feng suddenly emphasized, "the Swift Walkers are different, they are only scattered in the corpse group, but they are extremely fast, and the stabbing attack is almost ineffective for them, if we run into these guys, except for Guan Fei, we are all live targets." ”
"What if I run into that?" Xiao Lin asked worriedly.
Lu Feng smiled: "Don't worry, the choice to attack on a rainy night is to use the rain to dilute our smell, cover up the sounds we make and blur the vision of the deceased, and greatly weaken the vigilance range of the 'Swift Walker', if there is no accident to distract me, it should not be difficult to avoid the 'Swift Walker'......"
But the unexpected happened.
……
The rows of blood-seeping muddy teeth came to me in a sea of waves, and in shock, I took a step back and raised the plank to block. The weight of my body was like a hammer slamming into the plank, and I was knocked out of the way, and my left hand lost the plank because it couldn't hold it tightly.
I fell into the rain, and the rain seeped through the open placket, and I soon felt wet and squishy and unpleasant. But the worst part is not this, the worst thing is that when I look up, I actually hit a zombie. Although it is a slow-moving slow-moving slow-moving slow
A pair of dirty, rancid hands grabbed my face like iron tongs, and then the foul mouth dripping between the teeth bit at me.
"Ahhhhh......h
At the last moment, the tip of the spear pierced the deceased's head, and blood mixed with brain pulp dripped on my face.
"Senior......" Xiao Lin's voice came from the rain, and she helped me up in horror and sobbed. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault! ”
I stood up, and then I realized that I was surrounded by zombies, which was very scary. Xiao Lin and I kept stabbing iron pipes into the heads of the deceased who were slowly approaching, but this was only a drop in the bucket compared to the increasing number of deceased.
We began to panic, and the front retreated again and again. In fact, Slowwalkers are no easier to deal with than Speedwalkers, especially when they are gathered together and slowly tightened like a pack of corpse pockets, and the desperate situation of standing and waiting for death is even more unbearable.
"Lu Feng, what should I do......" I asked with a sad look on my face.
He was also pale and seemed at a loss. At this moment, Guan Fei let out a roar of rage, and the iron rod slammed into the chest of the speedwalker who had just hit me, breaking its chest and neck, and flying far away.
Lu Feng seized this opportunity and shouted loudly: "Quick! Leave it all at stake and rush to the iron ladder! ”
We began to run wild in the rain, and we didn't care about any formation, and when we saw a walking corpse approaching, we stabbed them in the head. Soon, Guan Fei was the first to reach the iron ladder, and according to the plan, he had to climb up first, because facing the corpses above required his strength to open the way.
"Watch the top!" Lu Feng admonished, and at the same time, he also stepped on the iron ladder for the second time. They all held their shields high above their heads, and when a corpse fell from above, the planks made a "bang, bang, bang" crashing sound.
"Senior, where's your plank?" Xiao Lin asked anxiously as she was about to climb up.
"It's okay, it's right at hand, you can go up quickly!" The plank had been knocked out of nowhere, but I said stubbornly.
As I stepped on the iron ladder and was about to climb up, an ominous "uh-uh" sound came, and I reflexively looked up, and the face of a dead man swooped down uncontrollably......
