Chapter 499 A Brief Respite
"Crackling and popping!"
The rain is pouring down, and a flock of corpse birds is chasing after it.
Fortunately, Han Shuo and his group reacted very quickly after hearing the first clap of thunder.
Without stopping, the group finally arrived at the house before the swarm of corpse birds could surround them.
...
"Quick, go inside, we still have a chance to survive."
Li Shurou shouted from behind. She and Chen Hai were walking a little slower, but they managed to catch up.
Fatty and Xiao Zhao took the lead and overtook Han Shuo, who was carrying the wind on his shoulders, halfway through the race.
However, just as the two were about to go inside the house, Han Shuo, with his sharp eyes, noticed something amiss.
He hurriedly shouted, "Don't go in! Look over there, the window glass is broken, the swarm of corpse birds can rush in!"
As soon as the voice fell, Fatty and Xiao Zhao stopped abruptly and looked to the side in unison.
Sure enough, they saw that things were exactly as Han Shuo had said, and it wasn't just one window that was broken; a quick glance revealed that there were many...
"ah--!"
The fat man roared angrily to the sky. The swarm of corpse birds behind them was about to arrive. In this emergency, where were they going to find something to block the window?
They simply don't have the time!
A feeling of despair filled everyone's heart.
Is this really the end for them today?
...
"No! No! We can't give up like this. If we die here, we'll indirectly cause Feng's death too!"
Han Shuo, not believing in such things, went around to the back of the house and took a look. He quickly discovered that there was actually a barn in a blind spot.
Their luck seemed to have finally turned around a bit.
Fate shattered their window of survival, but opened a new door for them.
He was overjoyed and quickly informed the others.
"Quick, everyone come here! There's a barn here that we can hide in!"
As soon as the words fell, hope rekindled in the eyes of the fat man and the others.
The next moment, everyone ran towards the target location.
...
brush!
Han Shuo arrived first, brandishing his Tang sword and slashing the lock on the barn door.
He pushed open the door and was the first to quickly slip inside.
"Hurry, everyone hurry!"
As he shouted anxiously, one by one, the people behind him rushed in.
"Quickly find something to block the door and prevent the corpse birds from rushing in!"
"yes!"
Upon entering the barn, Han Shuo dared not stop. He first placed the unconscious Feng aside, and then quickly began searching inside.
This barn had clearly been abandoned for a long time. The former owner did not store grain in it, but instead used it as a warehouse, piling up various odds and ends inside.
This is undoubtedly great news for everyone.
The fat man reacted quickly, turning around and grabbing a small cart to block the gate.
Then, Xiao Zhao and the others also dragged their heavy objects over.
Boxes, shovels, and discarded items were piled up near the gate...
Within about 10 seconds, the barn door was completely blocked from the inside by the crowd.
...
After all this was done, the barn fell silent, and everyone prayed silently in their hearts.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds...
When Han Shuo silently counted to five seconds, several loud bangs were heard, and the sound of ramming echoed from outside the door.
The swarm of corpse birds arrived, crashing down on the barn in a devastating barn-like frenzy.
"Splash splash splash splash..."
"Clap clap clap clap clap..."
The torrential rain was accompanied by constant crashing sounds.
After observing for a while, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the swarm of corpse birds will not be able to break through this defense line in the short term.
The barn was made of wood and covered with a layer of sheet metal.
Although somewhat rudimentary and likely unable to withstand the onslaught of the corpse birds, it at least gave everyone some breathing room.
...
"Sigh~ Let's all rest here for a bit..."
Han Shuo sighed, ignoring the noises outside.
"good……"
You could hear the weariness in the tone of the others' responses.
This time, they have truly faced the biggest crisis in recent times.
At this moment, although it seemed safe, everyone knew in their hearts that the crisis was not completely over.
Whether they will survive today remains an open question...
...
"Smack!"
Just then, a stun gun lit up in the barn. Lao Wu always carried one of these in his backpack, and it illuminated the area in front of them.
Han Shuo then looked at Feng, who was standing to the side.
He turned and waved to Li Shurou: "Shurou, come over here and check on the wind."
"Um."
Before getting out of the car, Li Shurou only took one thing with her: her medical kit.
She picked up her medical kit and quickly walked to Feng.
Next, it will be time to check the injuries.
...
When Li Shurou took off Feng's tattered coat, everyone realized just how serious Feng's injuries were.
All that could be seen was that Feng's entire body was covered with wounds of all sizes.
His back looked as if something had scratched it; the entire skin had disappeared, leaving it a bloody mess and incredibly gruesome.
"hiss--!"
Upon seeing this, the fat man couldn't help but gasp.
How painful must that be!
That wasn't all. Soon, Li Shurou discovered another wound on Feng's abdomen, running all the way down to his back. Blood was still flowing out of this huge wound.
"Oh no, his injuries are too severe. Even with the activity level of his muscle tissue, his wounds cannot heal on their own."
"I don't know how he's managed to hold on until now, but according to my examination, he... could die at any moment!"
After Li Shurou finished speaking, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The big boss is in critical condition? This... this is impossible!
Han Shuo's expression changed instantly. He placed his large hand on Li Shurou's shoulder and uttered two words with a trembling voice.
"Save him!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Shurou nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, even though the environment here is limited, I will do my best and give it my all!"
After she finished speaking, she stood up, snatched the stun gun from the fifth brother's hand, and placed it next to the wind to ensure that she was in the best position for sight.
Then, ignoring all the sounds around her, she worked quickly and busily.
Scissors, gauze, alcohol, thread... all sorts of tools were taken out of the medical kit one by one.
After preparing everything, Li Shurou took a deep breath and focused all her efforts on treating Feng...
...
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the barn became tense.
Everyone is worried about the wind.
Han Shuo inadvertently noticed the numerous bloody holes on Feng's arm.
These bloody holes appear to have been caused by birds pecking at them.
In that instant, something came to mind:
The horde of zombie birds that were attacking them suddenly appeared from the west, and their initial route seemed to be heading east.
"East, East..."
Thinking about this, Han Shuo seemed to have guessed something...
...
