Volume 1 Section 3 Circling
Unconsciously, everyone began to subconsciously obey Su Hao's orders. This is not blind obedience, his accurate slashing, his shrewd calculation and judgment of form, have left an indelible impression on the minds of others. Choosing the best is one of the nature of intelligent beings.
The zombies gathered around the Mercedes were all attracted to it. In their simple and barbaric minds, living people are synonymous with "food". The temptation is simply irresistible. They could only follow the shortest route, as fast as they could, howling and pounced in a frenzied and agitated manner.
Hundreds of cars are lined up in the center of the parking lot, with the ramp exit as the terminus, and the zigzag passage is in an irregular "O" shape. Su Hao's intention is very simpleββββ he only needs to fight and retreat, attract zombies to chase him, and make a counterclockwise movement around the passage in one direction. When the corpses chase to the bottom of the passage, that is, the farthest away from the exit, everyone immediately picks up speed and can get out of this predicament safely.
Studies in the future world have shown that the speed of movement of infected people in the early stage of the virus outbreak is about three to four kilometers per hour. Compared to the average adult's walking speed of five kilometers per hour, it is undoubtedly much slower. Especially in the case of running, the zombies simply can't catch up. This will change as the virus evolves in the body of an infected person. But for now, Su Hao's plan is actually very safe.
"Puff ββββ"
Su Hao slashed down a zombie again, and the moment the axe blade slashed from the middle of the opponent's head, the hideous-looking zombie actually puffed out his cheeks, and under the pressure of huge energy, an eyeball popped out. The globular mass of foul-smelling substance swirled in the air and hit Huang Yi's shoulder, who was standing at the end of the queue.
It's not lethal, it's just a mix of protein and fat. But for the girl who was still bathed in the light of civilization a few hours ago, it was as terrifying as the most terrifying movie she had ever experienced. Huang Yi was immediately stunned, her eyes widened, her teeth and body trembled desperately, and she retched violently deep in her throat...... Suddenly, as if she had woken up from a nightmarish dream, she screamed desperately, waved her hands desperately, and ran wildly towards the exit of the passage.
This change was so sudden that even Su Hao couldn't react for a while. The strong smell of perfume, screaming from the mouth of a living person, is extremely sensitive to these things. The zombies hovering at the end of the predator team immediately turned around, let out an excited howl of "ho-ho", and pounced in a clockwise direction.
"Stop her ββββ"
Su Hao, whose face suddenly changed drastically, slashed over the nearest zombie with his backhand, and roared urgently and angrily: "Don't let her pass." Get her! Catch herββββ"
People with extreme nervous tension simply can't respond in the most timely manner. Xinyan glanced at Huang Yi who was running, and subconsciously wanted to turn around, but the weapon in his hand was still stabbing at the zombie. Zheng Chao's attack also slowed down significantly, and his eyes showed hesitation and fear. Li Libin's reaction was obviously faster than them, he stayed for two seconds, took a few steps back, and seemed to want to turn around and catch up, but unconsciously turned his inquiring gaze to Su Hao.
The thoughts and consciousness in their minds at this moment are all "survival" and "zombies". They have no experience in dealing with such horrific scenarios. The inertial thinking that still stays under the laws of civilized society makes it impossible for them to immediately stop Huang Yi's actions at this moment. After all, anyone facing death and something disgusting can feel fear.
What's more, Huang Yi is still a girl.
"You idiots! What are you looking at me for? Catch her! Once surrounded by corpses, we will all die hereββββ"
Su Hao cursed while flexibly adjusting his pace, constantly changing the distance between him and the zombies, seeking the most suitable angle of attack. These infected are the lowest and easiest mutants to deal with. But even humans with enhanced abilities in all aspects will not be able to resist the dense influx of corpses.
He's just been vaccinated and he's been taking Silver Bone. Although there is no fear of viral infection, it takes at least eight to twelve hours for the bone strengthening effects to begin to show their effects.
Su Hao has always thought that his plan is very cautious: he uses the method of separate transmission to ensure physical safety and minimize the loss rate of materials. He spent a long time in the underground warehouse of the mall according to the architectural coordinates of the city drawings, thus avoiding the fury and chaos of the initial outbreak of the virus. However, he underestimated the intense fear of death in this era.
The strong will to survive made Huang Yi burst out with unimaginable speed. In just five or six seconds, she had already crossed the sideline on the side of the parking lot. If the entire passage full of vehicles in the middle is regarded as a circular clock face, and the exit ramp is regarded as positive twelve o'clock, then Huang Yi has already run counterclockwise to a position of about four to three o'clock, while Su Hao and others are still struggling to support the position equivalent to eight o'clock.
Zombies don't have minds, but they have a more sensitive sense of smell and hearing than any predator. A few zombies who had just left in front of the Mercedes Benz immediately caught the breath of the living people who were getting closer and closer. They began to become agitated, and immediately turned, increasing their movement speed, and pounced towards Huang Yi, who was screaming indiscriminately in his mouth and exuding a strong fragrance.
After a brief pause in thinking, the brain, which was back to normal functioning, immediately released a strong sense of crisis. Li Libin and Zheng Chao turned around together, with fear and anger on their faces, and ran wildly towards Huang Yi's back.
Su Hao had already slashed four zombies in a row, and he didn't have time to collect silver bones at all, so he could only fight and retreat. When he picked up the fire axe again, ready to slash at the neck of the zombie on the opposite side, Xinyan, who was standing beside him, suddenly rushed forward and inserted the dagger into the opponent's eye socket accurately and fiercely.
"Excellent! Well done. β
Xinyan's face was still pale, and there was fear in the depths of his eyes. But her hands and feet were shaking as violently as they had been, and her teeth were clenched tighter.
Su Hao looked at the girl in surprise, gasped and adjusted his breathing, and said, "Let's go!" We need to get out of here as soon as possible. β
Huang Yi's shouting split the group of corpses that were originally rushing towards Su Hao and the others into two groups. Although the zombies that followed behind and changed direction only accounted for one-third of the whole, there were still more than ten of them. Continuing to attract and hold on has lost its meaning.
Suddenly, Huang Yi, who was running, suddenly stopped like stepping on the brakes, covered his face tightly with his hands, and let out a scream that almost punctured his eardrums. In the empty underground parking lot, it immediately turned into a deafening and terrible echoββββ just a dozen meters in front of her, the corpses had blocked the slope to the ground, and were waving their dirty and rotting claws, approaching her step by step.
Li Libin rushed over from behind, grabbed her hair, and dragged the whole person back in the most ferocious way. He didn't care about the crying and pleading in the girl's mouth, picked up his right hand, waved it at the beautiful face smeared with expensive cosmetics and tears, and roared wildly: "Cheap/goods! Stinky/Forced! You're going to kill our ββββ"
"You let her go for meββββ"
Zheng Chao burst out with a huge force that was not commensurate with his short and fat body, smashed Li Libin away with a mop, and desperately hugged Huang Yi, who was crying bitterly, in his arms. He raised his head and glared angrily at Li Libin, who was about to pick up the hammer to fight back, spitting saliva like a madman: "If you dare to touch her again, Lao Tzu will smash your skull!" β
"Dead fatty! Do you / try it again? β
Li Libin rolled up his sleeves and stared at Zheng Chao who was half-kneeling on the ground fiercely. The hot pain in the shoulder where the mop hit it was stimulated the blood vessels in the arm to bulge high. If it weren't for the scruples of the approaching corpses, he would not hesitate to smash the other party's mouth with a hammer.
Huang Yi stopped crying, she was still sobbing, lifting her half-collapsed false eyelashes from time to time, secretly looking at Li Libin, whose expression was enough to eat people, and unconsciously hugged Zheng Chao's waist with both hands.
Su Hao and Xinyan have already run over. He strode forward, stood between the two men arguing, and roared, "Shut up." Do you want to die or live? β
Li Libin and Zheng Chao were still glaring at each other, but the slightly trembling corners of their eyes showed that they were all staring at the approaching corpses with their residual vision.
Xinyan, who had too much physical exertion, supported his knees with one hand, bent his waist, panting, and asked intermittently, "...... Right now...... What to do? β
Su Hao straightened his chest and stared at the group of corpses blocking the way in front of him like a wolf, and the flickering luster released from the depths of his pupils was particularly conspicuous in the dark environment.
"There's no other way."
He shook his head, spat fiercely, picked up the bloodstained fire axe leaning on his leg, and said coldly and calmly, "I can only kill it." β
After speaking, he looked around at the people standing around, strode past between Li Libin and Zheng Chao, roared, and rushed towards the staggering zombies.
Xinyan still followed him, although her strength had not fully recovered and her steps were a little vain, but the dagger was held tightly by her.
Li Libin's throat kept rising up and down, and he stared at Zheng Chao angrily for a few seconds, leaving a cold and hideous sentence.
"Lao Tzu will go back and settle this account with youββββ"
After speaking, he inserted the hammer diagonally into the belt, picked up the wooden stick that Huang Yi threw on the ground, and left without looking back.
Soon, there was a fierce shouting of killing in front of the passage. Among them, there are also clearly recognizable bone cracks and the muffled sound of heavy objects hitting the body.
The expression on Huang Yi's face gradually became less fearful, and she obviously didn't want to be hugged in this position. She writhed vigorously, broke free from the very satisfied Zheng Chao's arms, and looked at each other with great anticipation and a faint sense of conspiracy.
"You said you would do anything for me?"
Zheng Chao obviously didn't quite understand why Huang Yi wanted to mention this issue, but he still nodded.
"I've read all the love letters you've written. You swore more than once in it that you were willing to die for meββββ β
The chubby boy looked at her suspiciously, as if he had guessed what was about to come out of the mouth covered with bright red lipstick.
"Protect me, I ...... I don't want to die, I don't want to be eaten by those monsters. β
Huang Yi grabbed Zheng Chao's hand tightly, quickly let go, and said in an extremely sincere and seductive tone: "As long as you leave here alive, I promise you to be your girlfriend." β
She spoke quickly, and had clearly figured out the order in which the words were arranged. The fat man's eyes immediately released a blazing light, and even his breathing became rapid.
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Zheng Chao suddenly felt like crying.
When he saw Huang Yi for the first time, he fell madly in love with this girl. He pursued it hard for two years, but the other party didn't even let himself touch his fingers. Of course, this is not surprising. Zheng Chao's family is very ordinary, and words like "handsome" and "tall" can never be associated with him who is short and fat.
He never misses the opportunity to buy lottery tickets in every period, and he will also use his spare time to work near the school. Pursuing girls is not as simple as lip service. Flowers, meals, shopping, movies...... All this requires money. Although he himself knows that Huang Yi's chance of choosing himself among many suitors is almost equal to zero, he still tries to do everything he should do. Because Zheng Chao believes that at the other end of the balance of love, among the eye-catching factors such as money and handsomeness, there is an inconspicuous important weight that has been cited as a classic by countless stories.
That's sincerity.
Perhaps thinking that the words just now were not weighty enough, Huang Yi grabbed the fat man's hand again, pressed it heavily on his chest, and said eagerly without hesitation: "As long as I can leave here, I will marry you." β
The expression on Zheng Chao's face instantly became very exciting, and he felt that the blood all over his body was gushing up. The intense excitement and indescribable excitement made him try his best to withdraw his hand from Huang Yi's chest with difficulty.
"What do you mean...... It's true? β
There was still a glimmer of doubt in his mind. After all, he has been rejected countless times.
Huang Yi's brows began to wrinkle, she stole a glance at the terrifying corpses not far away, gritted her teeth, suddenly held the other party's chubby face, closed her eyes, and kissed her heavily as if she was fated.
The time for the two lips to touch was less than two seconds, and the happiness that fell from the sky instantly ran through Zheng Chao's whole body. He no longer doubted, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, grabbed the mop placed next to him, howled like a wild dog in heat, and joined the battle to kill the zombies with great bravery.
He didn't see itββββ the moment he turned around, the tenderness on Huang Yi's face instantly turned cold. She wiped the saliva from her lips with the back of her hand, took out a tissue from her pocket, and continued to wipe it in disgust......
On the cold concrete floor, there were six zombies whose heads had been severely wounded, or simply smashed to pieces.
Survivors are not very effective at killing the infected. Although the weaknesses of the opponent are well known, panic is still inevitable in actual combat. In particular, the faces that have been twisted and rotted under the erosion of the virus will always cause the predetermined weapon to fall off, hitting the zombie beyond the head. Whenever this happens, Su Hao has to wield a steel axe in time to relieve the crisis for his teammates who are slow and helpless.
In the face of a sudden disaster, many people will die. Only the most tenacious and crazy people can survive by fighting again and again.
It's cruel, but it's a fact that everyone has to face.
"Speed up, we've got to get fasterββββ"
Su Hao's body was covered with splattered pieces of flesh and blood, and he stared at the corpses opposite, issuing orders anxiously but calmly. The fire axe has been changed to the left hand, and the right hand holds the M500 that has just been pulled. These words are not superfluousββββ the zombies that came around from the exit direction have increased by seven, because of the influence of the group of creatures, a considerable part of the corpses that were originally moving in the counterclockwise direction are also turning.
All four are concentrating on dealing with zombies. No one paid attention, and Huang Yi followed behind the team. When the two zombies in front of him had just been killed, and the group of corpses that followed was attracted to the left side of the passage, Huang Yi suddenly drilled out of the gap about three meters on the right side of the passage and ran towards the exit slope more than twenty meters away.
She chose the right timeββββ the group of corpses interrupted before and after, making a gap in the distance. As long as you are fast enough, you can safely escape from the underground parking lot.
Su Hao and the others were not unaware of this opportunity. It's just that they use too much effort and are slower.
"Stinky bitch, she doesn't care if we live or die at allββββ"
Li Libin scolded hatefully, picked up a wooden stick and chased after him. The rest of the people didn't speak, just stepped on the sticky plasma and flesh on the ground, trying to speed up their pace.
Instead of wasting your energy scolding, it's better to wait until you leave alive.
Huang Yi ran forward like a madman, she didn't feel despicable, she just didn't want to die, she didn't want to be meat in the mouth of a zombie.
Just as her slender left leg stepped into the sunlight, a hungry zombie suddenly pounced. The blue-gray claws gripped her right ankle tightly, dragging her whole body to the ground.
"Help, help! Help meββββ"
Huang Yi let out a terrible scream that was not like a human voice, and she kicked her legs desperately, trying to break free from this incomparably terrible death bondage. The soft rubber soles also stepped on the zombie's hideous face accurately, kicking the mouth that kept extending forward again and again. This is a contest between strength and will, and they are all competing with each other to see who can hold out to the bottom. However, Huang Yi was desperate to see that just five or six meters away, another zombie was getting closer and closer, and could join the wrestling at any time.
"Zheng Chao! Help me! Help meββββ"
Huang Yi chose the only person who could help her.
She has always been smart, especially when it comes to relationships.
