Chapter 42: Leapfrogging

In the afternoon, it was three o'clock.

On the rooftop, everyone gathered on the northwest side, their eyes were full of nervousness and worry, the iron door at the entrance was still crackling, the zombies were roaring and roaring, trying to break through the iron door, not only them, those few gunshots made the zombies in the entire block boil, and the zombies who had been scattered and wandered frantically crowded towards the building where Tang Ji and the others were, the building was almost filled with zombies, and the stairs were wrapped around zombies that seemed to be endless.

The zombies roared with hideous faces, they hadn't eaten in days, and their thirst for flesh was stronger than ever.

Jason stood in the center of the rooftop, about twenty meters from the northern edge, and finally kicked his foot and shook his hand, kicked one leg back to the ground, and slowly fell down, about thirty seconds after Tang Ji fired.

Before starting, Jason turned his head to look at the crowd not far away, his face expressionless. If Tang Ji didn't shoot, then he was shouldering the hope of everyone to escape at this time, and at the same time he had his own life, if he didn't succeed, he would go to see God, but even if he really didn't have a past, he was only one who died, and others still had a chance to live, and people who didn't eat could live for many days, maybe someone would lead away the zombies in these few days, and others would still have a chance to live.

And now, the situation has changed, Don Ji has driven everyone to a dead end, Jason is now carrying everyone's lives on his shoulders, and when he dies, everyone is almost doomed!

It stands to reason that Don Guy shouldn't put so much pressure on Jason, pressure is easy to make people nervous and make mistakes, but sometimes, pressure is also motivation, among these people are Jason's aunt Laura, there is a good friend Christine, there is the girl he just fell in love with, Kelly Dy, and there are also Don Guy, Robbie, Maniela, these new friends who only met after the end of the world and lived and died together, Jason is the only person here who is likely to jump over, so in the face of these people, he has the responsibility to take risks.

For yourself, and for everyone.

Jason took one last look at Tang Ji and the others, leaned over and twisted his head, looked straight ahead, and took a deep breath, the vicinity of the most edge of the northern part of the rooftop had been marked by Tang Ji, this was to prevent Jason from speeding up too fast and not grasping the timing of the jump, and when the time came, it was too late to jump up, and he rushed downstairs directly.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were completely lifted, but they were also completely quiet, not making a sound, even their breathing slowed, and their eyes were no longer on the door that could be knocked open at any moment, but on Jason.

Jason at this time represents the survival of everyone.

"God, bless me!"

Jason closed his eyes, said a silent sentence in his heart, opened his eyes, and rushed out, he had already taken out all the strength he could exert at this time, the speed was very fast, a distance of more than twenty meters, Jason only needed more than three seconds to run.

One second......

Two seconds......

Three-second ......

The string in everyone's heads was completely taut, even more tense than Jason.

More than three seconds later, Jason stepped on the edge of the roof with one foot, half of his foot was already suspended in the air, kicked violently, jumped over, because of the forward leaning of the body, he needed to kick the ground violently when jumping, and Jason half of the ball of his foot was suspended in the air, just enough to kick on the edge of the roof to borrow force, this jump was smoother than he imagined.

"Oh God!"

The moment Jason jumped out, a look of joy appeared on everyone's faces, because judging from the jump, Jason's jumping may be very big, but then Laura exclaimed, and the faces of the others also changed.

Jason jumped out of the edge of the rooftop very quickly and violently, but ...... His altitude is not enough!

Jason, who had already jumped nearly four meters away, could clearly see that there was a tendency to sag, so that he could not jump onto the opposite rooftop at all, but hit the building on the seventh floor opposite, and then bounced slightly and fell between the two buildings.

Things really seem to be moving in this direction, although everything happens quickly, but the reaction speed of human nerves is naturally faster, everyone can see that Jason can't jump, and some people can't bear to close their eyes.

Boom! The sound of a body hitting a wall.

There was a brief silence.

"Oh shit, it hurts me......"

"Quick, Jason, climb up!" Tang Ji couldn't help but interrupt the other party's complaint and urged.

The ladies who closed their eyes opened their eyes suddenly, their eyes burst out with great surprise, and they looked to the north, only to see Jason clutching the edge of the opposite roof with both hands, his body hanging outside the building, and his feet hanging in the air.

As Don Guy thought at the beginning, if you want to jump over, you don't have to use your feet, you can also use your hands, and there is this kind of professional action in parkour, jumping over and grabbing the edge of the opposite building structure.

"Thank God!" Laura cried again and hugged old Mike's waist, but her face was joyful.

Jason's physical fitness is naturally needless to say, after listening to Tang Ji's words, he knew that it was not the time to complain, he pedaled the wall and did pull-ups, and pressed his elbows on the edge of the opposite roof in two or three times, and then adjusted his posture to prop his body up, turned over, and rolled onto the roof!

The zombies in Tang Ji's building are still pounding on the iron door, and the iron door has been faintly deformed, if it weren't for a lot of things piled up outside, the door would have been broken a long time ago.

Jason rolled on the opposite rooftop, lying on it with one hand to prop up his upper body a little, Jason looked in the direction of Tang Ji and the others and smiled, smiled very happily, and then immediately looked at the abrasion on his arm, shook his arm, it seemed to hurt a little, he didn't pay much attention to it, a carp stood up straight, and quickly ran towards the position of the square ladder.

"Hurry, come here and get ready, lady go first, hurry ......up" Tang Ji urged everyone to run to the far edge of the north, and Yu Guang also swept the entrance to the rooftop in the distance, a little worried.

I hope it goes well when I cross the ladder.

Jason quickly ran over with two ladders, both of which were alloy ladders, which were long but not very heavy. When he reached the edge of the rooftop, Jason dropped a ladder, then stood up another ladder, and slowly fell towards the opposite building with his hands, and when it formed an angle of about forty-five degrees, he couldn't hold it, after all, no matter how light the ladder was, it still had a certain weight, and the principle of leverage would make the end of the ladder very heavy before it hit the ground.

Smack!

The ladder was hit, and Robbie, who was standing nearby, stepped on it to prevent the ladder from bouncing.

Christine was the first to climb up, if you want to walk, people will be very careful, it will be very slow, so lie on the ladder and climb it, so quickly, Christine is followed by Maniela, the two of them quickly climbed to the opposite side, depending on the situation, only two people can go up, and more ladders may not be able to bear it.

Jason quickly put the second ladder over, Laura went up, and it should be Kelly behind, but Kelly seemed a little afraid to do so, I don't know if it was a fear of heights, until Laura and the three climbed to the opposite side, she didn't go up, and hugged Jon's waist and didn't let go.

Seeing the situation, Tang Ji quickly made a gesture to Jason on the other side, and the two pulled the ladder together at the same time.

"Hurry, Jon, carry Kelly over on your back!" Tang Ji shouted quickly, and then turned his head to look at the entrance of the rooftop in the distance, the zombies had already smashed open part of the iron door, but they were blocked by something outside, and the door could not be fully opened, the zombies were screaming frantically and squeezing out, and there were already zombies who saw Tang Ji and these people.

Jon immediately put on Kellyti's back, turned his head and said thank you to Tang Ji, leaned over the ladder and began to climb to the opposite side, looking at Jon's figure, the weight can be guessed without weighing it is definitely heavier than two people, plus Kellyti's weight, the weight is completely concentrated in a very small range, and the pressure on a pair of ladders is stronger than that of four people who climb separately, so these two people go up, and no one else can go up, otherwise the ladder may really not be able to bear it.

Although Jon was old, he moved quickly and neatly, and quickly climbed over, and just when he went to the opposite rooftop, the entrance to the rooftop was knocked open by the zombies, and the zombies finally poured onto the rooftop.

"Mike, you go first!" Tang Ji said and glanced at Robbie again, signaling the two to go first, and Tang Ji himself planned to walk last, if according to Tang Ji's surname, he would not do this, the more he walked behind, the more dangerous it was, and Tang Ji did this, in addition to that little bit of duty as a leader, there was also ...... No danger.

Zombies can attract each other through sound, because the kind of roar that zombies make when they find humans is very exciting and special, and humans can hear it, not to mention zombies that belong to the same kind of creatures.

The zombies poured into the rooftop, and spread out in the shape of an umbrella, surging towards Tang Ji's direction, the entrance of the rooftop was about thirty meters away from Tang Ji's position, and the fastest zombie would take nine seconds to reach Tang Ji's side.

And in nine seconds, a lot can already happen.

Mike and Robbie have a ladder for each person, both of them choose to walk, the two ladders are already one meter wide together, Mike and Robbie supported each other, walked over quickly, the process was very smooth, Don Ji walked behind the two, unhurried, and it took about five seconds for everyone to reach the opposite rooftop.

When Tang Ji and the others pulled back the two ladders, those zombies also rushed to the edge of the rooftop, and the zombies in front stopped suddenly, out of instinct they knew that they couldn't go anymore, so they could only keep roaring at the opposite rooftop.

Suddenly, the zombies in front of them were unstable, leaned forward and fell downstairs, and then more and more zombies fell downstairs...... It was the zombies in the back, there were too many, and the entrance kept pouring zombies, all walking in the direction of Tang Ji and the others, so the zombies standing on the edge of the rooftop without a guardrail in front were squeezed down.

All of a sudden, the zombies fell down like dumplings, falling down in pieces, falling down the seventh floor, not only breaking their tendons and fractures or even killing them directly, but also killing a lot of zombies below.

The scene was quite spectacular.

Bang bang!

Standing on the edge of the rooftop opposite, Tang Ji jerked up his gun and fired two shots into the sky.

He's going to give the zombies a boost!
