Chapter 116 The Overlooked Path to Survival
"Oh my god, no, this is too exciting! My heart can't take it!"
Seeing the light of day again, the fat man's hope for life was rekindled.
Not only the fat man, but also Han Shuo and Li Shurou had joy on their faces.
The situation was extremely dangerous just now; the number of zombies around the car was increasing, more and more...
If the car had reversed a few seconds later, the outcome might not have been so optimistic.
"Han Shuo, what do we do now?" the fat man asked.
He and Li Shurou were completely at a loss for ideas. Of the three of them, Han Shuo was the smartest.
Han Shuo sighed, forced a bitter smile, and began to speak.
"Sigh, I don't have any good ideas right now. Fatty, drive around the area for a bit."
This place is barren, nothing but dirt and sand; we can only take it one step at a time.
"Okay." The fat man was in low spirits and drove aimlessly, looking for a way out.
"There's a really tall tree over there, can we climb it?" Li Shurou suddenly asked.
Han Shuo looked in the direction she was pointing, thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
"No, it's not dense enough. Even if we can climb up, the zombies will find us and gather at the base of the tree. We can't stay up there forever. If we can't hold on any longer, we're doomed."
"What about over there? There's a small hill over there. How about we dig a hole and hide inside?"
The fat man also came up with an idea.
"That won't work either. The zombie encirclement is shrinking too quickly. We don't have much time left. In such a short time, without the right tools, how deep can we dig?"
Han Shuo rejected it again.
"Ugh, this is so annoying. This won't work, that won't work. Let's find a comfortable place and end it all ourselves. Getting shot is better than being eaten alive by zombies."
Anxiety made the fat man somewhat agitated, which was understandable.
Just a few minutes later, the zombie encirclement tightened, and several zombies with good legs even followed behind the car.
They really don't have much time left.
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the car crashed through the guardrail again and returned to the main road.
It wasn't that they wanted to come back here, but rather that the zombie horde had completely arrived.
The area in all directions, within sight, was teeming with zombies, leaving the three with nowhere to hide.
In two more minutes, they might be completely swallowed up by the horde of zombies.
As for the people in the camp, they have not been seen since the two sides separated and fled.
The three of them knew what this meant: there were simply too many people in the camp, and their reaction time and evacuation speed were far inferior to theirs.
By the time those people reached the outer perimeter, the zombie encirclement had already been formed.
Breaking through seems unlikely, so the only outcome is that the entire force will be wiped out during the attempt...
The car stopped, and Han Shuo opened the door and got out.
Gazing at the dense horde of zombies in the distance.
He felt suffocated; the last time he felt this way was when the flock of crows...
After drawing his Tang sword and taking care of several nearby zombies, Han Shuo muttered to himself.
"Could it be that this is truly the end?"
At this moment, he still didn't want to give up, but he couldn't think of any way to do so.
Fatty and Li Shurou also got out of the car, gripping their weapons tightly in their hands.
Neither of them spoke, their backs to Han Shuo.
The three of them formed a triangle, all glaring angrily into the distance.
Even so, they will not stand still and wait to die; they are determined to fight to the very last moment.
Han Shuo looked back and smiled with satisfaction.
In this life, I have two brothers who will accompany me to the death.
It was worth it!!
Just as he turned his head to look away, suddenly!
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a manhole cover in the middle of the road!
"Smack!"
Han Shuo slapped his forehead hard, thinking to himself:
Why am I so stupid? The way out has always been there, but I've forgotten it time and time again.
Just now, he was so focused on looking upwards that he completely missed the manhole cover under his feet.
Yes, it's not far from the city, so it's quite normal for the city's sewage discharge to extend here.
If the three of them simply open the manhole cover and hide inside, wouldn't they easily get through this crisis?
"Hahaha, I'm so stupid, so stupid!" Han Shuo shouted excitedly.
The fat man and Li Shurou couldn't help but glance at them sideways.
The two thought to themselves:
What's wrong with Han Shuo? Has he gone mad?
The atmosphere on set had been tense until Han Shuo suddenly let out this manic laugh.
Suddenly, they were completely stumped...
"How about I just give Han Shuo a bullet?"
The fat man felt a pang of sadness; he didn't want to see his brother suffer a complete mental breakdown before he died.
With that in mind, he actually pulled out his gun.
Just then, Han Shuo suddenly shouted.
"Fatty, Shurou, quick, grab all the food from the car. Let's hide in the sewers and escape through the sewage pipes!"
After saying that, Han Shuo quickly ran towards the manhole cover.
"Holy crap! He's not crazy! He can really survive!"
The fat man also saw the manhole cover and instantly understood.
Li Shurou's face lit up with joy, and she reacted even faster. Without saying a word, she immediately ran to the car and started packing her things.
At this moment, Han Shuo had arrived at the location of the manhole cover. The manhole cover was round with two small holes on both sides.
However, the hole was too small, and Han Shuo could only put two fingers in.
Pull hard, but the manhole cover won't budge; it's been stuck very tightly because it hasn't been opened in so long.
"Fatty, come here and help me!" Han Shuo shouted without turning his head, continuing to pry his fingers outwards.
"They're here!"
The fat man handed over the task of packing up to Li Shurou, then turned around and ran over with an axe.
"Get out of my way, watch this!"
The fat man pulled Han Shuo aside, then wedged one side of the axe into the small hole and pried it open, causing the manhole cover to loosen.
Seeing this, Han Shuo quickly grabbed the axe handle with the fat man. Both of them were genetically engineered humans and were very strong.
With their combined efforts, the manhole cover was finally pulled open.
"It's done!"
Han Shuo's face lit up with joy, and he looked up at the distance.
At this moment, the horde of zombies was getting closer and closer to them!
"Shurou, hurry up, are you done getting ready?"
"Alright, alright, coming."
Li Shurou grabbed two backpacks from the car and ran over.
"Quickly, throw the things down first, and climb down one by one," Han Shuo said anxiously.
"good!"
The two responded, and Li Shurou threw both backpacks inside. Then, the fat man threw his large shield inside as well.
"Hurry up!"
Han Shuo urged again, and at that moment, several zombies pounced on the spot.
Soon, the fat man and Li Shurou climbed down one after the other.
"Han Shuo, stop killing him, let's go!" the fat man shouted, sticking his head out.
"They're here!"
After dealing with the few zombies in front of him, Han Shuo sheathed his Tang sword and quickly went down into the cave.
Then, he held the manhole cover with both hands and put it back on.
The three of them escaped successfully!
