Chapter 52 Extreme Escape
Yes, but the black gem will not be returned to her because it has long been swallowed up and merged into one with space.
This kind of thing of taking payment but not doing the work is common in the last days.
Liu Yu is not a serious businessman who adheres to business ethics, so naturally he cannot keep his word in everything he says.
Moreover, if Xu Shuyao still does things the same way as before the apocalypse, it will be difficult for Liu Yu to guarantee that she can get her to the apartment safely. She cannot carry such a burden.
I can't sacrifice my life and Zhuang Moxing Lingbao's life for her.
Leaving her behind was a last resort.
There were two elderly zombies with clumsy hands and feet on the stairwell, and Liu Yu took action to quickly take care of them.
Zhuang Moxing, who was at the end of the team, listened attentively to the movements of the zombies downstairs and estimated that they had probably entered the store. The next moment, he made a hand gesture and detonated the talismans that had been arranged in advance.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
The zombies that gradually filled the store were instantly blown away by the talismans buried at the door. In an instant, half of the zombies at the store entrance were blown away by the talismans and lost their ability to move.
What’s worse is that some people’s heads are smashed directly, ending their short life as zombies.
When Liu Yu turned around in surprise, her gaze shifted to Zhuang Moxing. There was no one else besides him. "When did you do that?"
"Before entering the store. A small formation that won't be effective at a distance, perfect for the current situation."
Seeing his calm demeanor, someone who didn't know him would really think that he hadn't done anything big. Only Liu Yu gave him an admiring look.
Xu Shuyao also glanced at Zhuang Moxing in admiration, but it was no longer the same admiring look as before, but an unattainable worship.
While admiring him, Liu Yu caught a glimpse of Lingbao hiding behind Zhuang Moxing and secretly hiding something, but there was no time to investigate at this time, as escaping was the most important thing.
Several people ran all the way to the roof. The door on the roof opened from the inside and did not require a key. Several people reached the roof smoothly.
The entire building is not high, with only four floors, and it is a row of buildings. The roofs of this row of buildings are connected. Liu Yu looked at the situation below from the edge of the building. The first floor was densely packed with hundreds of hungry zombies.
The smell was so bad that Xu Shuyao only stuck half of her head out and immediately retracted it, pinching her nose.
The weather this month is not really cool. The zombies are covered with sticky blood stains and various unknown liquids. All kinds of substances have accumulated together and fermented fully, and the smell is really not very pleasant.
What’s even more exaggerated is that some zombies have broken hands and feet, and their flesh is slowly rotting, with a weird smell.
"This way!"
After seeing the situation below, it was just as Liu Yu expected. These zombies might have been summoned by the mutated zombie before.
Most of them gathered in the direction of the underground supermarket, and a small number were attracted by the humans in the street shops.
The encirclement is within this area. As long as you go to the roof and get out of the encirclement, you will have a chance to escape.
Fortunately, I didn’t go back to the underground supermarket at that time, otherwise I would have been dead.
Although the roofs of this row of buildings are connected, there are still some obstructions. Some floors are blocked by low walls, but this is not a problem for a few people.
Liu Yu and his companions nimbly crossed the barriers and soon arrived at the end of the townhouse.
According to fire protection standards, this type of townhouse will basically have fire ladders on both sides. City S is very strict in this regard, so Liu Yu is not too worried.
When she reached her destination, she leaned out to check. Sure enough, there was a circular fire escape installed outside the building wall. But it only reached the second floor, so there was still one floor to jump to.
But this is not the problem. The problem is the survivors who are running towards them from a distance and have come up with the same escape method as Liu Yu.
"There are more than a dozen people coming over from behind, and the fire ladder cannot bear such a heavy weight for the time being." Zhuang Moxing frowned, obviously thinking of this problem as well.
Xu Shuyao half-knelt on the ground, holding her knees and breathing heavily. It was too difficult to keep up with the pace of these two big guys and not fall behind.
After finally catching her breath, she heard a sound and looked back. There seemed to be a group of people running for their lives in panic behind her. According to her husband, her life was in danger again!
"No time to worry about that, get off first!"
At Liu Yu's command, he resolutely jumped off the fire escape.
It wasn't that she was reckless and didn't know how to coordinate the situation, but she had seen many survivors running for their lives, and they would never obey the orders of strangers.
No matter how strong you are as an individual, if there is even a slight mistake in your evacuation plan, you may fall into the hands of some extremely selfish ordinary people.
The countless lessons from the past reminded her that it would be better for her to try her best on her own.
Liu Yu climbed halfway down the fire escape, using the strength of his legs to steady himself, and stretched out his hands towards the balcony: "Give me the magic treasure."
Zhuang Moxing was stunned when he realized that he was too big and could not enter the fire escape with a spiritual treasure on his back. The protective iron ring outside the fire escape would squeeze and hurt the spiritual treasure.
After a brief moment of thought, Zhuang Moxing immediately took off the magic treasure on his back and handed it to Liu Yu. Liu Yu held the magic treasure to his chest and looked up to see that the group of survivors behind them were getting closer and closer, and there was no time to tie the belt.
He just hurriedly pulled Lingbao's little hand, put it around her neck, and warned: "Hold tight, don't let go!"
The situation was extremely critical at the moment. Even though Lingbao was ignorant, he became serious. He pursed his lips tightly, clasped his hands tightly around Liu Yu's neck, and nodded vigorously.
"Um!"
As soon as the childish voice that was so tender that it made people feel distressed fell, Liu Yu climbed down quickly. Xu Shuyao followed with great tact, and Zhuang Moxing was still lagging behind.
Although the fire escape was less than 15 meters long, Liu Yu found it extremely difficult to walk up it. Sweat broke out on his neck. He was afraid that the sweat would cause the magic treasure to slip out of his hand, and he had to be concerned about the condition of the magic treasure from time to time.
Fortunately, Lingbao was very strong. When his little hands were wet by Liu Yu's sweat, he tried to move his hands, wiped them on his coat, and continued to hug tightly.
After walking five meters with difficulty, Liu Yu simply slid, "Hold on tight, Lingbao, sister is going to speed up!"
The moment Lingbao's little hand tightened its grip, Liu Yu kicked his legs off the iron ladder, held onto the side of the stairs with one hand, and slid down with courage.
The stairs and gloves rubbed against each other violently, generating a burning heat. Fortunately, the gloves she bought were of good quality and thickness, and they could withstand her aggressive actions.
She only took half the time of the previous five meters to cover the remaining ten meters, and Liu Yu jumped heavily from the last ten meters off the ground.
When he jumped to the ground, he kicked down a young zombie with a golden hair style. The yellow-haired zombie was stepped on like a human cushion and immediately roared fiercely.
But before he could get up to seek revenge, Liu Yu chopped off the head with a knife, and the body fell limply to the ground.
It is difficult to avenge the foot pad because he died before achieving his goal.
Liu Yu naturally didn't pay attention to the revenge history of an ambitious zombie. Instead, he quickly eliminated the scattered zombies around him and hurriedly looked at the situation above.
It wouldn't matter if she didn't look, but once she did, she found that the situation there was obviously worse than she had imagined.
Xu Shuyao wisely followed Liu Yu the second he started moving. But she was just an ordinary person and couldn't move as quickly as Liu Yu.
What's more, she was wearing a professional dress and had changed her high heels into sneakers, but she was still much slower than Liu Yu in going down the stairs.
By the time she had gone down enough for Zhuang Mo to move, the survivors were almost at the edge of the building.
Seeing he was close enough, Zhuang Moxing leaped quickly onto the fire escape. But before he could even climb a few steps, he heard several gruff male voices from above.
“Almost, we’re here!”
"Wait, wait, let my dad go first, he's old."
"Stop arguing, and go down together!" The peacemaker's words really hit the nail on the head for Liu Yu. What she feared would come true. Fortunately, she couldn't hear them.
A few people in the group poked their heads out to check what was happening below, and instantly shouted in surprise, "Hey, someone's killed all the zombies down there! Quick, quick, get down here before everyone gets there!"
