Chapter Eighty-Three: The Wall
Although the life-saving pickup is in sight, the question is how to go down and start it. Uncle once said that he had seen those policemen put the keys on the visor of the driver's seat after using the car in the window, so they could start the car as soon as they entered the door.
At this moment, the night was thick, and countless black shadows were like undercurrents in the river, circling around this lonely four-wheeled "ark", unable to find any chance to get close. The morale we had when we saw the pickup just now was gone, and we were cold and hungry.
"We're done playing......" The pale young man squatted down with his head in his hands, he almost stumbled and fell down because he squatted too quickly, and only after stabilizing did he hold on to the wall and pant desperately.
"I knew I wouldn't have come down just now!" The other said, looking at us complainingly, but turning his face away a little timidly. Now there were actually only six people left on the wall, me, Guan Fei, and Xiao Lin, followed by the pale-faced young man, his companion, and a woman who was trembling with fear.
"Which of you can drive?" I asked with a calm face. In fact, there is only one way to deal with this situation, and it is necessary to have someone responsible for leading the corpses away, but it is clear that they cannot be counted on in this work.
"I ...... Will ......," replied the pale-faced young man with a raised hand.
"Alright," I said, pointing behind me, "Guan Fei and I will be responsible for leading away the corpses, and you will take the opportunity to jump in and drive the car, and then turn around to pick us up......"
"Do you understand?" Seeing that he was in a trance, I immediately accentuated my tone. He nodded like pounded garlic.
"Okay, Guan Fei, follow me!" We walked behind us with our guns in hand. After walking to the right distance, I nodded to Xiao Lin, and then aimed at the head of the black shadow below with Guan Fei, bang, bang, bang...... Use the sound of gunfire to attract zombies around you.
Soon, more and more zombies gathered, and I heard Xiao Lin say, "It's time!" Then he urged the youth to jump down.
The surging tide of corpses crashed into the "dike" where we stood, and we took turns firing our guns, trying not to stop the gunfire, but trying to lengthen the interval and save bullets.
At this moment, I heard the wonderful roar of the engine and turned my head in delight. Seeing that another young man also jumped down, Xiao Lin screamed: "What are you doing? Stand! Otherwise, I'll shoot! ”
In a moment's astonishment, I saw the woman who had been standing behind Xiao Lin who had been cautious stretched out her hands and pushed forward, Xiao Lin suddenly disappeared into the wall, and then the woman also jumped down, and soon, the sound of the wheels turning rapidly came, but instead of running towards us, it was speeding into the distance.
I gasped as I threw my legs back in. Guan Fei also shot at the wall, using all his skills to attract the attention of the corpses.
Soon, I spotted Xiao Lin who had fallen on the concrete floor, and several dark shadows were rapidly approaching her.
"Xiao Lin, stand up!" I shouted.
She struggled to her feet and handed me her hand. I also leaned against the wall and stretched out my hand. The walking corpses around her screamed and lunged at her, and the situation was in a desperate situation.
"Bang bang" Guan Fei flashed the flashlight to solve the imminent ones. I scrambled to scoop Lin up from under the wall. She managed to escape, but we were immediately surrounded by corpses.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?" Looking at the hand that was frantically reaching for the wall, I was at a loss.
"They ......" Xiao Lin was shocked, stammering about the scene that had just happened.
It turned out that after successfully starting the vehicle, the pale-faced young man suddenly had a bad heart and suggested that they on the wall leave us to escape, and his companion quickly echoed his proposal and jumped down, Xiao Lin tried to obstruct them and pointed a gun at them. But, "Push her down!" The young man gave a vicious command, and the woman who had been hesitant pushed forward tremblingly......
"What are we going to do now?" Xiao Lin asked. I collapsed against the wall, every muscle in my body striking. Ever since I broke into this ghost place, I've been fighting against fate for a moment, how many times I've fallen into despair, how many times I've struggled to get up, I've exhausted all my strength.
I don't know how long it took, we were all sitting on the wall and napping, and a burst of light pierced my eyelids, and I struggled to open my eyelids, sleepy like a python wrapped around my neck. Sunlight was pouring in from afar, piercing the beleaguered serpent.
I stood up, only to find that on the opposite side of the fence, about seven or eight meters away, there was another wall, and there was only a road in between. Behind the fence is a factory-like building.
"Look!" Xiao Lin pointed to the front right. Looking up, behind the fence, the roof of a car looms.
We were silent for a moment, then shouted in unison, "Ladder! ”
Feeling in despair suddenly shook up, it turned out that hope was close at hand, Guan Fei and I immediately lifted the long ladder that had saved us from fire and water, and then carefully put it on the opposite wall.
I started and crawled over first. From last night's experience, the crawling speed increased, but when I reached the middle of the ladder, the sudden sinking still startled me, and through the ladder, my nose almost touched the scalp of the zombie below.
After crawling over, there was a garment factory in front of it, and several dead people who were so rotten that only black skulls were left that they were dragging colorful fabrics across the clearing, like the legendary Grim Reaper holding a scythe. A van slammed sideways into the wall next to the exit, leaving deep brake marks.
It seems that what happened here is another story. I didn't have time to speculate on what was going on here, but when Guan Fei and the others arrived, we immediately climbed down the wall, took out the dead in the clearing with the weapons we had with us, and opened the car door. Two bodies shot in the head lay across the driver's seat and the passenger seat, and we dragged them out and got into the car.
The key was still in the hole, and I immediately spun the ignition, and the engine roared like a heavenly sound.
"I'll open the door!" Guan Fei walked to the gate, slammed the lock with two shots, and then pushed open the two closed iron doors.
"Get in the car!" As I passed by the door, I slowed down to let Guan Fei into the car, and then slammed on the gas pedal and drove away from the place without looking back.
The past ten hours have been extremely long, whether it is for the people who live here or for us who suddenly broke in, it is completely unexpected, and the fierce collision between each other will be so tragic that it will be like this. I touched my uncle's wallet in my trouser pocket, and I thought of the madman who died tragically, and I couldn't help but feel a faint pain in my heart. But soon I picked myself up and glared fiercely ahead, where important companions awaited us......
Guan Fei and Xiao Lin both closed their eyes in their seats, and I grabbed the steering wheel and drove crookedly on the road. Suddenly, I saw a blue pickup truck parked on the road in front of me, surrounded by more and more zombies.
As I approached the pickup, there was the sound of a firelight and a grumbling from the fuel tank. I sped past the car, and in the afterglow, two familiar men and a woman were lying desperately in front of the closed window, helpless. I used to believe that repaying grievances with virtue is a virtue, but the world will eventually temper me to the core, there is nothing more cruel to myself than saving some people who should not be saved, Lin Yifei is like this, and so are they.
I felt like I drove through a few intersections and finally saw the huge sign for "Pegasus Mall". Our expressions relaxed, and we felt like we were at home, but we still didn't know what was waiting for us there......
