Chapter 56: Attracting the Corpse
A few minutes ago.
Zheng Jieming loaded the gun and turned around to ask Zhang Xiushan to prepare the gun as well.
"I'll go! What the hell? You also made the gunshots before? Li Yimeng saw the gun, and his sense of security increased greatly. Although there were more and more zombies on Zezhong Road at the gate at this time, he naively thought that as long as there were guns, all zombies would be floating clouds.
Zheng Jieming didn't answer him, and turned his head to Zhang Xiushan.
"Lao Zhang, both guns are loaded with good bullets, right?"
Zhang Xiushan nodded. He now holds a gun in each hand, and he puts the muzzle of the two guns upwards in a very majestic manner, posing in the form of an agent.
"You give Li Yu a hand." Zheng Jieming made a request to Zhang Xiushan, and Zhang Xiushan reluctantly handed Li Yu an older-looking one.
At this time, on Zezhong Road, zombies poured almost continuously from the alley of the Association for Science and Technology.
If you zoom out higher, these zombies are actually pouring in from the western section of Qingli Street. They were supposed to pass directly through the intersection next to the small building, but the gunfire alarmed them, and they passed through the Association for Science and Technology and rushed in the direction of the police station.
As for the zombies that bit He Yuhang to death before, it was actually just a small group of scattered corpses nearby that were attracted by the gunfire and climbed over the wall.
Ye Ran looked dissatisfied. He was thrown into the shopping cart for no reason just now, and he had no chance to jump out of the car in a desperate situation, and he was not able to jump out of the car until the car stopped at the intersection.
"Why did you put me in the car! I have legs to run! I'm a little thin, but at 1.7 meters, you look like a child!? ”
And Leng Yuhan was still sitting on a pile of food in the shopping cart, the fear and sadness she had been suppressing exploded together, and she couldn't care about anything with tears in her eyes.
In fact, Zheng Jieming just wanted to pick up Xiaohan and put it in the car at that time. But I couldn't see clearly in the dark, and I accidentally caught Ye Ran. He felt that this explanation must be very bloody, so he simply did not answer.
Zheng Jieming turned his head, looked at Li Yu, and then looked at Li Yimeng.
"Li Yimeng, are you and Qian Mu willing to join the gang? We live in the small building opposite. Zheng Jieming did not ask Li Yu's opinion, and directly sent an invitation on behalf of Li Yu, knowing that Li Yu would definitely not object. Moreover, now there is a wounded, two children, two women in the ranks, and they need manpower.
Li Yimeng and Qian Mu glanced at each other, unable to hide their excitement.
"Of course! We're both scared all day long! So willing! ”
"We still have a lot of bags of rice and potatoes, and I think the cart is still empty, so we can put it all together!" Qian Mu said, turned around and went to the kitchen to get something.
"Don't worry, it's close here, come back and get it when the corpses are scattered! You two will first equip each of you with a knife or other weapon. After a while, I will go out from the door to help you lure away the zombies, you seize the gap, and quickly run in the direction of the small building! Zheng Jieming said the bold plan in his heart at this time. Li Yimeng and Qian Mu immediately ran to the kitchen.
"Lure away the zombies? What do you mean? Li Yu listened and felt that Zheng Jieming would do something stupid.
Zheng Jieming did not answer.
The corpses in the alley had already converged with the zombies at the intersection at this time, and the corpses were blocking the way back to Xiaolou for Zheng Jieming and his party, and the corpses were becoming more and more concentrated, and they were getting closer and closer to the restaurant.
However, there is no corpse formation in the northern section of Zezhong Road. When the gunshots rang out at the police station, many zombies followed the gunshots and ran to the left side of the community.
What everyone didn't know at this time was that Qi Xian, Wang Yueshan and Dong Yuan had just come out of the small building, cleaned up the zombies on the slopes around the small building, and prepared to respond.
Zheng Jieming walked to the back kitchen, he felt that there should be something he needed here.
Sure enough, he lived up to his hopes.
Battery car! It would have been nice to have used this earlier!
"Is it charged?" Zheng Jieming asked Li Yimeng, who was holding a knife.
"Before the zombie outbreak, the battery was always charging. Able to last at least an hour. As Li Yimeng was talking, Zheng Jieming pushed the car to the door.
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Li Yimeng followed Zheng Jieming back to the hall with a bunch of kitchen knives, Qian Mu handed out the knives to all the people present who could fight, and put the rest in the shopping cart.
Zheng Jieming opened the door, quickly stepped onto the battery car, and started, this kind of car has no noise.
"Li Yu, close the door first after I go out, and when the time is right, you should flee quickly!"
"What are you going to do?" Li Yu stepped forward to stop him from taking the risk, but Zheng Jieming had already rushed out of the door.
Zheng Jieming bent down slightly, and after going out, he turned left on the edge of the corpse group, and several zombies immediately chased after him. After keeping enough distance, he slashed and slaughtered the scattered zombies around him, pulled out his pistol, and fired into the sky.
In the night sky, the sound was unusually loud. The corpses were disturbed by the sound of gunfire, and immediately rushed towards the north of Zezhong Road, and the corpses at the intersection and the alley of the Association for Science and Technology no longer gathered in place, but poured north in pieces.
Qi Xian and Dong Yuan heard the gunshots and began to kill from the slope to the side of the road, preparing to cross the road to answer as soon as they heard everyone's voices. Of course, if their own people fail to break through, they are not far from Xiaolou, and it is also convenient for them to retreat.
Zheng Jieming started the battery car and continued north. After driving for a while, he stopped, cut down the zombies that were sporadic around him, and turned back to pay attention to the movement of the corpses.
The corpses did not stop when they passed the place where the gunshots rang out, but continued to rush north, with great momentum of not stopping without encountering obstacles.
"Okay, that's good, you bastards, all here!"
————
On the other hand. Li Yimeng waited for Zheng Jieming to go out and quickly closed the door. The crowd looked out from the window.
After Zheng Jieming fired, the corpses that had gathered near the gate poured north in pieces like hungry wolves having found a source of food. The crowd of corpses was almost endless, and Li Yu tried to estimate the number of zombies, but when he estimated it to three thousand, he gave up the attempt.
He didn't want to feel too hopeless.
In the distance, another gunshot rang out. This gunshot made Li Yu feel a little relieved, he knew that as long as the gunshots were there, Zheng Jieming would still be alive.
The peak of the corpse tide has been chased northward, and the corpse crowd has finally begun to become sparse, and the number has decreased significantly. If after a while, maybe the corpses in the distance will be attracted again, then Zheng Jieming's efforts will be in vain.
"Run?" Zhang Xiushan looked at Li Yu and waited for him to give an order. He was ready to move, handed the shopping cart with Leng Yuhan to Li Yimeng, and was ready to be the first to rush out.
Li Yu looked around at everyone, except for Wang Shuangman and Xiao Han, everyone took weapons.
"Let's try not to shoot for a while." Before Li Yulin issued an order, he first explained to Zhang Xiushan.
"Okay, got it!" Zhang Xiushan understood the meaning behind Li Yu, that is, set off immediately!
"Open the door! Run! ”
Zhang Xiushan opened the door, rushed out of the door first, slashed the zombies at the door with a knife, and opened the way in front. Li Yimeng, Wang Shuangman, Qian Mu, and Ye Ran rushed out of the car in turn.
Jin Yue and Li Yu are behind. Li Yu is basically incapacitated, he is ready, if the corpses surround him, he will also use Zheng Jieming's method - by shooting to attract the surrounding corpses to attack, sacrificing himself, in exchange for everyone to return to the small building safely.
Qi Xian's eyes were sharp, and he heard the sound of shopping carts and slashing, he followed the sound and saw faintly in the darkness that someone was advancing towards the small building.
"It must be the boss!"
Qi Xian and the three of them did not hesitate and rushed to the other side of the road to meet everyone.
Zhang Xiushan opened the road in front of him very hard. Although a large number of corpses have chased to the north, there are still a lot of corpses.
The four shopping carts behind him were also the focus of zombie attacks, and the four of them could only wave their weapons while walking. Wang Shuangman didn't dare to cut zombies with a knife, it would be good to be able to barely follow everyone.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yu prepared to leave the team and return to the door of the restaurant and shoot the zombies.
At this moment, Zhang Xiushan only felt that in the darkness in front of him, someone was also helping to flank the zombies. His confidence was immediately increased, as if a new strength had poured out.
"Boss! Lao Zhang! Are you there! ”
It's Wang Yueshan's voice!
Li Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, he put down his gun and shouted, "Here!" Come and pick us up! ”
"Zheng Jieming! Is Zheng Jieming here? ”
Dong Yuan felt that it was cool to respond like this in the dark, and also shouted loudly to Zheng Jieming.
But no one answered him.
Eleven people gathered together, and everyone felt full of confidence! Jin Yue regained the feeling of a female man, and became more and more energetic at the end of the team, but her shoulders were sore but she ignored it.
Wang Yueshan and Zhang Xiushan, two older middle-aged people, opened the way in front of the queue.
Qi Xian and Dong Yuan helped the foursome of the carts to protect the side, although Dong Yuan was clumsy most of the time, but after a few battles, it was already a combat power.
The queue moves forward much faster.
Everyone had already arrived at the foot of the steps of the small building, and Jin Yue and Dong Yuan began to help the foursome carry the car. Ye Ran dragged Xiao Han, who was not much shorter than himself, from the car and led her to run up the steps, while the "Shanshan" combination and Qi Xian changed to the back.
Li Yu rushed up the steps and knocked on the door.
"Open the door! We're back, open the door! ”
No one came out to answer, no one came out to open the door.
The crowd had already lifted the shopping cart up the stairs, and the others slowly shrank back to the door. But the gate remained untouched.
Li Yu knocked on the door more anxiously, and at the same time quickly counted who was in his mind.
Fang Xinping, Chang Bing, Qin Qin, Ling Er, Zhou Jitang, Wu An.
It won't be that Zhou Jitang was tied up before, and he was angry, and now he wants to take revenge! Li Yu thought in shock. He looked back at Qi Xian, who was in charge of guarding the house.
Qi Xian also realized his dereliction of duty, rushed to the door and kept slamming the door.
"Wu An, you coward! Come and open the door!! He shouted. The door clattered, and the zombies followed the sound to chase up the steps.
