Chapter 63 Never Give Up
I believe you!
Xiao Zhao didn't hesitate at all and said it with certainty.
Which is more important, a stranger or someone he knows who saved his life? Xiao Zhao can tell the difference.
Moreover, because of his long-term life in the military, Xiao Zhao clearly understood one principle!
That's obedience! Don't ask so many whys!
Now that the two are traveling together, and Han Shuo is the team leader, Xiao Zhao will definitely obey Han Shuo's orders and trust his choices.
"Alright, let's leave that topic behind! Now we need to think about the flock of crows outside!"
Since discovering the flock of crows through his binoculars, Han Shuo has not smiled once.
He is under a lot of pressure right now and is constantly thinking about it.
If Han Shuo makes a wrong move, or fails to think of a way to escape, the consequences will be unbearable for him.
The consequence is death!
...
"Brother Han, I feel like we're really in trouble today."
Xiao Zhao gave a bitter laugh. The cawing of the crows outside annoyed him, suffocated him, and filled him with despair.
Xiao Zhao couldn't imagine any possibility of survival. The situation was just like when he encountered the intelligent zombie at the mall entrance that day.
That day, when the overwhelming horde of corpses surged in, it was already a dead end. Even though they kept resisting, they knew in their hearts what the ending would be.
The reason why the ending was reversed that day was because Han Shuo, the one who broke the deadlock, suddenly appeared.
There was no one else here but the two of them. There was no chance of another 'Han Shuo' appearing outside, and even if there were, would there be any hope against such a flock of crows?
...
In fact, Han Shuo felt the same way as Xiao Zhao, teetering on the brink of collapse, if not for his overwhelming desire to live.
I'm afraid my mind has already completely collapsed.
"We can't give up yet!"
Han Shuo didn't know whether he was comforting Xiao Zhao or himself when he said those words.
Because even now, he still hasn't come up with any solutions.
...
For the next 10 minutes, neither of them spoke.
Xiao Zhao stood quietly in place.
Han Shuo was quietly thinking.
He still had no clue.
Just as Han Shuo was about to say another word of comfort, Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Han, it's alright. Captain Qingyu asked for my opinion before I came out with you this time. I'm doing this willingly and am happy to come along to bring your friend back."
Xiao Zhao's words were strange, as if he were reciting his last words.
"So even if I die here tonight, I won't blame you. Brother Han, I really won't blame you, don't feel so guilty."
After saying this, Xiao Zhao felt much relieved, with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Xiao Zhao's words became the final straw that broke Han Shuo's psychological defenses.
Seeing Xiao Zhao's smile, Han Shuo slid down the wall and fell to the ground.
This time, he really couldn't think of a solution; he was truly powerless.
"Xiao Zhao, I'm sorry..."
Han Shuo, sitting on the ground, had no life in his eyes at this moment.
"Brother Han, I'll stay with you. Anyway, this damn world has already become such a horrible mess, so the sooner we die, the sooner we can enjoy our happiness!"
Xiao Zhao had already accepted reality, and his state of mind had become detached.
"Damn it, when the glass shatters, let's each throw a grenade and detonate ourselves, killing as many as possible before we die, so these damned crows can be buried with us!"
As Xiao Zhao spoke, he muttered a curse to himself.
After hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Han Shuo gave a rare bitter smile, thinking to himself.
"Grenade, grenade."
"Yes, we still have hand grenades, Qingyu gave them to us before he left."
"But what use are just three?"
"There are just too many crows outside..."
"Self-destruction, it's good to take a few down with you..."
...
Han Shuo smiled self-deprecatingly, his mind racing with these thoughts...
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and Han Shuo's eyes brightened again.
"No! Perhaps! There really is still a chance!"
Just now, when Xiao Zhao picked up the grenade, a plan instantly formed in Han Shuo's mind!
If this plan succeeds, then they really do have a chance to survive!
Han Shuo jumped up from the ground, ran to Xiao Zhao, shook him excitedly, and even kissed Xiao Zhao hard on the forehead!
"Xiao Zhao! You're truly my lucky star!"
Han Shuo said something completely unrelated, leaving Xiao Zhao utterly confused.
"What's wrong, Brother Han?" Xiao Zhao asked, puzzled.
Han Shuo ignored Xiao Zhao and quickly ran to another window, peering out through the gaps in the flock of crows.
"That's it! The gas station!"
Han Shuo was instantly overjoyed. The distance from this window to the gas station was so close, so very close…
When the two arrived in the evening, the building Han Shuo had randomly chosen was right next to a gas station!
And this gas station! It's Han Shuo's only way to survive!
"Xiao Zhao! Believe me! I will definitely help you survive!" Han Shuo said excitedly.
Xiao Zhao stood there stunned. He knew that Han Shuo wouldn't make such a boastful statement without a reason. He must have thought of something!
"Brother Han, have you come up with a solution?"
"That's right! We'll blow up the gas station! Burn these bastards alive!"
Hearing Han Shuo say this, Xiao Zhao felt a glimmer of hope, but he quickly realized something.
"That's feasible, but how do we detonate it? With rifles? That would take a long time, and we simply don't have that kind of time."
"Are you stupid? It's a grenade! If you hadn't mentioned grenades earlier, I would have forgotten we even had them! If you throw it accurately, a grenade can definitely blow up the gas station in one go!"
"Even if we detonate it, the crows are so scattered, they can't all be killed, right? There are thousands of crows here, even a few dozen left could devour us!"
Although the plan was feasible, Xiao Zhao still felt it had too many flaws.
"So we need to gather all the crows over there first!" Han Shuo said excitedly.
How should we get together?
Han Shuo slapped his forehead. Although Xiao Zhao was good at fighting, he was obviously not very bright!
If Xiao Zhao were replaced by Fatty right now, Fatty would immediately guess Han Shuo's plan!
Han Shuo turned his head to look at the doorway of the room, and Xiao Zhao's gaze followed him.
Xiao Zhao saw the bodies of the man and woman they had just killed at the doorway.
"Dump their bodies at the gas station! The crows will all be attracted there, then! Detonate the gas station! Catch them all!"
Han Shuo revealed all his plans! If the plot develops in his direction, there will be absolutely no problem!
At this moment, after seeing hope for survival again, Han Shuo once again became the familiar person he once was!
Stay calm and composed; never give up until the very last moment!
That's right, this is the real him!
...
After hearing Han Shuo's perfect plan, Xiao Zhao also became excited, as if everything was so flawless!
If you can continue living, nobody wants to die!
Xiao Zhao rubbed his hands together, nodded to Han Shuo, and said!
"feasible!"
