Chapter 410: The Breakthrough Begins
Meanwhile, Han Shuo and the others were completely unaware that two people were standing on the distant mountaintop.
Because all their attention was focused on the zombies in front of them.
Faced with the horde of zombies surging in from all directions, the group could only keep their composure and continue bombarding the area ahead with their weapons.
They had to quickly create an escape route before the horde of zombies engulfed the area.
...
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Several more rockets exploded in the horde of corpses, and in a short time, they had used up most of their rockets.
Nevertheless, it was still not enough, because their rocket launchers were fired prematurely, far beyond the optimal firing distance, and the aiming was naturally much worse due to the considerable distance.
Each rocket explodes at a slightly off-center point. Although it can kill countless zombies, more zombies will soon pile up from behind.
For a time, the firepower could not be concentrated on one point, which made it difficult to open the breach.
While loading rockets, Han Shuo glanced back at the situation and saw the zombie horde closing in. An anxious expression appeared on his face.
"This can't go on!"
He thought to himself and hurriedly tried to think of other ways to break through.
The next moment, he saw the tanker truck at the very back of the convoy.
"Are we supposed to detonate this tanker truck? That's certainly one way to do it!"
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he put it aside for the time being.
Because the cost of abandoning the tanker trucks is too high. Even if they can open a gap in this way, they will be unable to move an inch in the future without fuel.
Han Shuo wanted to find out if there were any other ways to break through the situation.
He turned his head and quickly asked Xiao Zhao beside him.
"Xiao Zhao, do we have any weapons that are even more lethal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao quickly responded.
"Yes! There's a type of explosive that's extremely powerful when it explodes!"
Upon hearing this, Han Shuo's face lit up with joy: "How's the effect? Do you think it can completely blast open a breach?"
"It should be possible, but this kind of explosive is quite large and heavy. Even with your strength, Brother Han, you can't throw it too far from here."
"To achieve the desired effect, it must be placed close to the horde. Only by detonating it in the center of the horde can an opening be created."
Han Shuo fired another freshly loaded rocket forward, then quickly responded with a shout.
"It's alright, go get it, I have a way!"
Xiao Zhao nodded, put down his weapon without hesitation, and turned to run towards a truck.
...
Soon, Han Shuo saw Xiao Zhao walking over, carrying a large explosive device of unknown type in his arms.
"Brother Han, here you go!"
Han Shuo reached out and took it, then felt its weight.
He felt the weight was acceptable, but because the explosive was quite large and there wasn't a good gripping position, it was indeed impossible to throw it over long distances.
"Xiao Zhao, how do I use this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao took out a disc-shaped object from his pocket again.
"Open the lid and press the red button inside to detonate it."
"good!"
Since it could be detonated directly with a detonator, Han Shuo was naturally even more delighted.
Because of this, he won't have to worry about any time-related errors in his actions later.
...
The next instant, Han Shuo grabbed the explosives and ran straight to his car, shouting to everyone present as he ran.
"Everyone get on the bus! Follow me closely, we're about to break out!"
"Alright, Captain Han!"
The fat man and the others had just overheard their conversation.
They had already guessed what Han Shuo was going to do next, and without the slightest hesitation, everyone put away their weapons and ran back to their respective cars.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Soon, the sound of several trucks revving their engines could be heard.
At this moment, the hordes of zombies on both sides and behind were getting closer and closer, and everyone could already hear the low growls coming from the zombie horde.
After placing the explosives in the truck bed, Han Shuo quickly climbed into the driver's cab.
He decided to send his truck into the horde of corpses before detonating the explosives.
His truck wasn't loaded with much food.
Because of the urgency of the situation, they did not have time to transfer the supplies to other trucks.
Doing this would mean sacrificing a truck and some food, but the cost would be much lower than directly detonating the tanker truck.
After all, they still had plenty of food, but they only had one truckload of fuel.
...
"On my command, I'll go first, and you all go in 15 seconds!"
Han Shuo shouted into the communicator, then stepped on the gas and drove the truck straight ahead.
"clear!"
Behind them, the fat man and the others gripped the steering wheel nervously.
They had already shifted into gear, their eyes glued to the truck ahead, not daring to blink.
After silently counting to 15, everyone stepped on the gas and drove the truck to follow closely from a distance of several dozen meters.
At this moment, each of them silently wished for their success, because whether they could break through here tonight depended on what happened next!
...
At the same time, the girl with pigtails on the mountaintop let out a soft "hmm".
She looked down, a puzzled expression on her face.
"Huh? Second brother, are they going to make a last-ditch effort? But these trucks are accelerating so slowly."
The man smiled and turned to reply to the girl.
"Probably, but it's a bit difficult to just drive straight out..."
"After all, as we can see from here, there are still a lot of corpses behind us."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl with pigtails gave her a look of disdain.
"Tch, so they were just sending themselves to their deaths."
As soon as she finished speaking, the man shook his head with a wry smile, then focused his gaze down again.
"That's not entirely true. No one would throw away their life for no reason."
"What if, however, a miracle occurs?"
...
On the other side, Han Shuo kept his eyes fixed on the speedometer. The truck's acceleration was ultimately a bit slow, and in those ten seconds, the speed hadn't increased much.
He felt that the car was going slower than he could run, but at that moment, he didn't have time to think about anything else.
Because his truck was about to reach the horde of zombies.
80 meters, 40 meters, 20 meters!
When the two were 20 meters apart, Han Shuo's eyes narrowed, and without the slightest hesitation, he opened the driver's side door.
He then abandoned the car and jumped off.
The instant he jumped out of the car, he also pulled off the sunglasses that Feng had been wearing in the car.
The next second, Han Shuo landed safely on the ground. With his current strength, he wouldn't even need to release the force to avoid injury at that speed.
He then quickly pulled out a detonator from his pocket and nervously looked ahead.
"Hopefully, the truck's momentum will allow us to penetrate a little further into the horde of corpses."
