Chapter 43: There Is More Than One Wise Man
Two gunshots rang out throughout the old neighborhood.
The zombies are crazy again, because Tang Ji is standing on the edge of the rooftop and shooting, the sound will scatter, and although the zombies can be attracted by the sound, they don't know what it means to find the way, unless the road is already structured, such as a staircase passage, they rush in the direction where the sound comes from, that is to say, although Tang Ji shoots on the edge of the rooftop, but the zombies will definitely not come up from the building under everyone, and many roller shutter doors on the first floor of the building are closed, some are closed before the outbreak of the end times, And some of them are man-made after the end of the world, it is not difficult to guess that Brooke and others have been entrenched here before, and they should have done it.
After the gunshot, there were more zombies pouring into the building where Tang Ji was before, zombies can't be said to be completely a group of creatures, but they can attract each other through sound, the zombies on the rooftop continue to flock to the north, forcing the zombies in front to fall downstairs, and the zombies in the building continue to roar and rush to the rooftop, and those roars will also attract the zombies on the street to continue to enter the building, forming a more perfect "suicide" propulsion process.
Zombies have no brains, in fact, sometimes you can use some methods to effortlessly cause thousands of casualties to zombies, such as arson, and then like this, the zombies continue to lead to the "cliff", but there seem to be drawbacks, the former may respond to the Chinese idiom "set on fire", and the latter, the drawbacks have been quickly revealed, there are constantly zombies falling off the roof like dumplings, and the ground of the alley between the two buildings quickly piled up a pile of meat, half a story high, And it is precisely because of the attraction of gunfire that many zombies also chose to flock to that alley, the living zombies would not have climbed each other to build a "human" ladder, but the dead zombie corpses were piled together, and the living zombies certainly knew how to climb up, so that they could be closer to the people on the rooftop.
If Tang Ji has been doing this, then the biggest possibility is that the zombies will fill the alley, and the zombies will climb to the rooftop by the human ladder, and the number of zombies will definitely be enough, which is very likely, or, it may be more direct, the zombies will not reach the rooftop, when the zombie pile is level with a certain floor, the living zombies will break through the glass and break in, as long as one of them does this, then the chain reaction, other large numbers of zombies will do the same.
Of course, Tang Ji will not be so bored to trap zombies here, and the zombies can't be killed, and it may lead to other accidents.
After firing two shots, Tang Ji and everyone watched the spectacular scene of zombies "making dumplings" for a while, and there was no time to exchange joy because of the crisis of starvation, so Tang Ji led everyone and ran towards the north of the building.
This building is very large, almost the largest building on this street, the width reaches forty meters, and the length of the north and south vertical and horizontal is 100 meters, running to the northernmost side, the ladder of the roof and the opposite roof has been erected, but there is only one, Tang Ji and others also brought the two ladders over, and then set up, and then everyone quickly went to the opposite building.
Walking to the north again, there are two more buildings on the roof of this building, both of which are small buildings, and the buildings are almost built next to each other, and the gap between them is less than half a meter, and there is no need for a ladder.
After crossing a few rooftops, Tang Ji and the others finally arrived at the northernmost part of this street, next to the building they were in was the crossroads, and there were still many zombies downstairs, but they were not completely surrounded by zombies like the original building.
There is no way, but there are still zombies, how did Brooke leave?
The crowd stood on the edge of the roof of the building on Crossroads, gasping for breath and thinking about the question.
"They must have entered the building that day." Robbie pointed to the ground under his feet, looked at Tang Ji hesitantly, and said slowly, "Will they still be in this building?" ”
"That's how you're going to lay out your escape route?" Tang Ji looked at Robbie and asked rhetorically.
Robbie shook his head, of course the escape route can't be arranged like this, you can't even walk out of a street, and you can't completely get out of the crisis, and no one with a little longer brain will do this.
"That's it......" Tang Ji leaned over and held on to the half-human-high guardrail of concrete masonry on the roof of this building, looked down and sighed: "Brooke is not a fool, you won't do this, he certainly won't, there must be something else here!" After speaking, he looked back at the others and said, "Everyone rest, we are not in a hurry, Jason come here, I will see your injuries!" ”
Jason's injuries are not very serious, they are all on his arms, when he grabbed the roof with both hands, his arms rubbed against the wall, the impact was very strong, and his arms were bruised, Tang Ji gave him a simple treatment, detoxified, put on medicine to promote healing, and then wrapped it a little with gauze, after all, the world is very dirty now, and it is not good to expose the wound directly, and a drop of zombie blood splashed on the wound may kill Jason.
However, Jason's injury can scab over in a day, so it's not a big deal.
The rooftop area of this building is not large, two or three hundred square meters, but the structure is very good, the rooftop is semi-enclosed, a circle is surrounded by a half-person high solid concrete guardrail, unlike the original building, it is an iron railing like a guardrail, as long as it is slightly close to the rooftop, the zombies below can be seen, and here it will not, sit down on the side of the rooftop and lean against the guardrail, and you can't see it outside at all.
The others sat or stood to rest, Don Ji called Christine again, and took her to a hidden place on the rooftop that no one else could see, or the back of the small house at the entrance of the rooftop, and after a while, Christine walked out from behind with a red face, Maniela pulled Christine with a strange look, and asked something in a low voice, and Don Ji also walked out from behind.
He was examining Christine's wound to see if there was any problem because of the exercise just along the way, and this matter could not be handed over to Maniela, the wound was sewn, and she was not a professional, so she definitely couldn't see any problems, so Tang Ji could only take action himself.
"Hey! Tang Dynasty! Robbie, who was observing the terrain along the edge of the building, suddenly beckoned to Tang Ji and shouted, as if he had found something.
Robbie stood on the east edge of the roof of this building, with his back to the main street where Tang Ji and the others' cars were parked, the building was already at the crossroads, Tang Ji and the others had just run from the south, and there was no road, that is to say, the north side was also a main street, and the building on the opposite side of the street was more than 60 meters away from Tang Ji and others, and the west side was also the main street, and the east side of this building, that is, the opposite side of where Robbie was standing, was about ten meters away, and it was a twelve-story building, a small office building.
Don Ji walked quickly to Robbie's side and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Look there!" Robbie pointed to the bottom of the building, seven stories high, looking down, there is a path below, in fact, it can no longer be regarded as a path, because the distance between this building and the building opposite has reached ten meters, but the road is a dead end, extending not far into it was blocked by a wall, about twenty meters, and the wall to the north, the alley has narrowed a lot, mainly because one side of the building on both sides has been replaced by another, that is, the building south of the building where Tang Ji is located, which is wider.
Tang Ji looked down, and there were several cars parked on the dead road that was neither wide nor narrow, and it was also filled with a certain number of zombies.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ji frowned slightly, he didn't seem to see anything.
"Sewers!" Robbie pointed again, let Tang Ji pay attention, and said: "At the feet of those zombies next to the car, the entrance to the sewer, look there......"
"I saw it!" Tang Ji nodded and squinted his eyes, the distance between the seven floors is not far but not too close, and there are zombies blocking it, if it weren't for Robbie's reminder, Tang Ji really wouldn't have been able to find the round lid for a while.
Robbie pointed to the location of the entrance to the dead end: "There are several cars piled up there, and there are no signs of them hitting each other, but they have all obviously collided, indicating that they should have been pushed over......"
"I see......" Tang Ji interrupted Robbie's words, paused and said: "You mean, these cars were pushed by Brooke, in order to block the zombies, as long as no one is attracted, the zombies will not struggle to climb over those cars and wander into the road below, and the sewer entrance is Brooke's escape route, the zombies will not wander in, they can go downstairs, enter the road through the window, and enter the sewer first, and now the reason why there are zombies in it should be when Brooke and the others leave, The zombies were lured in, but the zombies were not fast enough to climb over the car, so by the time they entered, Brooke and the others should have all entered the sewers and covered the entrance. ”
After Tang Ji finished speaking, he looked at Robbie, and Robbie also looked at Tang Ji, and hesitated for a while before he spoke: "You really ......" He pointed to his head, drew circles and made thinking gestures, but he couldn't speak with a long voice in his mouth, he didn't know how to describe Tang Ji, he just said a beginning, and Tang Ji had already thought of it all.
"Don't praise me." Tang Ji smiled slightly, gave Robbie a thumbs up, and praised: "Observe very carefully, it is definitely not an accident that you can come back alive from the battlefield!" ”
Tang Ji knew that he was definitely not the only smart person, but sometimes his edge was too revealing and covered up others.
After speaking, Don Ji patted Robbie on the shoulder, and the two turned to look at the others not far from the rooftop, Tang Ji slapped his palms a few times, and said as he walked forward: "Ladies and gentlemen, we can study how to get out of here!" ”
