Chapter 48 We're About to Meet
"Ah!!!" The middle-aged man roared angrily at the sky.
This was the second, the second soldier to die in front of him.
The nine men he led from there were all his brothers who had followed him for many years!
Now, however, there are two whose faces we can no longer see.
Unlike any other bond, the bond between soldiers runs much deeper!
"Quick! I'm out of bullets. This isn't the time to be sad. If we waste any more time, none of you will escape!"
Han Shuo had fired all the bullets from his shotgun. He had done everything he could, and the rest was up to them.
Without Han Shuo's firepower drawing them away, the zombies downstairs gradually dispersed and headed back towards the middle-aged man.
"Go! Don't let Tiger's last wish be in vain!" the middle-aged man said through gritted teeth, not even caring that his teeth were bleeding from biting so hard.
Xiao Zhao and the other surviving soldier both had tears in their eyes.
But they knew they had to suppress their grief and continue to break through with their captain!
...
This time, there were no surprises!
Half a minute later, the three of them finally arrived at the entrance of the building.
The middle-aged man let the other two enter the building first, while he held off the others at the entrance for a moment before retreating inside.
As he disappeared through the building entrance, he shouted out a message!
"Brother! We survived this time entirely thanks to you! Take care of yourself, and we'll meet again after the zombies are gone!"
...
Han Shuo pulled himself back out of the window and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
"Finally, we managed to save three people!" Han Shuo muttered to himself.
This time, even he didn't expect to do something so daring, although the process went relatively smoothly.
However, if one makes a wrong move or is even less lucky and fails to kill the intelligent zombie, one will inevitably find oneself in a deadly predicament.
Although it was thrilling and exciting, Han Shuo did not regret his decision.
Because these people deserve to live!
As for what happened after the three of them entered the building, Han Shuo was not worried. They could easily handle those zombies.
With their skills, finding a room and hiding inside would be no problem at all.
"This impulsive act may have gone against my original intention to live, but after this is over, I will get all the information I want!"
Han Shuo was tired, so he went into his room and fell asleep.
...
He slept for two hours. When he woke up again and ran to the window, there were fewer than a hundred zombies left downstairs.
This is normal. With no sound and no people in sight, the zombies have returned to their wandering state.
However, there were simply too many zombies gathered here before, and two hours was not enough time for them all to disperse.
Han Shuo wasn't in a hurry. He had followed them out in the morning, and it was only noon. He could wait at most two more hours. Although it was impossible for there not to be any zombies downstairs, by then, it wouldn't matter much.
Walking back to the kitchen, Han Shuo glanced at the Linghui zombie head that had been thrown on the ground earlier.
"Forget it, let's not take the pure white liquid for now. I wonder if they'll bring it up when they arrive."
Feeling a bit hungry, Han Shuo searched the room for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat. The owner of the house had only left Han Shuo two bottles of mineral water.
Han Shuo took out his food, compressed biscuits, and water, and ate it.
...
On the other side, the middle-aged man led Xiao Zhao and the other two to safety. On the fifth floor, they found a room with its door wide open, and the three of them rushed inside.
Only after locking the door did the middle-aged man finally relax completely.
This time, the three of them were truly reborn!
"Captain...we...we survived." Xiao Zhao stammered, his body trembling slightly.
“Yes, we survived!” another soldier said.
The middle-aged man sat on the ground, looking at his two subordinates beside him. His face, which had been serious before, was no longer stern. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
"Therefore, never give up until the very last moment!"
"But, Tiger..." Xiao Zhao thought of Tiger again, and tears streamed down her face.
Tiger was five years older than Xiao Zhao and always took good care of him, like an older brother.
"Sigh~!" The middle-aged man sighed deeply. How could he not be sad?
His parents, relatives, and friends are no longer alive. The people closest to him are these nine in his unit, all of whom he trained himself in the army.
Today, another one died. Although they had long since become indifferent to life and death, they still felt an indescribable sadness when the moment of parting came.
The middle-aged man stood up and patted Xiao Zhao and his companion on the shoulder.
"Tiger sacrificed himself for us, so we should live well!"
Xiao Zhao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded heavily to the captain.
"Alright, don't think about anything, just get some rest. It'll be several hours before the zombie horde disperses, so it's safe here now!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man tore off his filthy clothes. He needed to find two sets of clothes to change into in the house.
"Yes, Captain!"
Xiao Zhao and his companion responded in unison, then turned and went to their room to rest.
...
The three of them were indeed very tired. They rested for even longer than Han Shuo. When they got up, the middle-aged man saw that the number of zombies below had returned to normal, about 30.
He had changed back into clean clothes, but they were clearly too small and clung tightly to his body.
"Xiao Zhao, you two pack your things too, let's get ready to go!"
"Are we going to see the person who saved us?" Xiao Zhao asked, then he and another soldier quickly packed their things.
"That's right. Without that young man killing the Spirit-like Zombie and then helping to distract it, we definitely wouldn't have survived."
“Yes, we should thank him properly,” another soldier said.
"That person is really brave, climbing down from such a high place without any safety equipment. Is he a civilian survivor here?" Xiao Zhao asked doubtfully.
The middle-aged man shook his head. Although he had only glanced at Han Shuo from afar, Han Shuo's attire clearly distinguished him from the other survivors, especially since Han Shuo also carried a hunting rifle!
"I think that young man seems to be a lone wolf!"
"Huh? There are still people who dare to travel alone these days!"
“So, that young man is extraordinary!” the middle-aged man said with conviction.
In their brief encounter, he was deeply impressed by Han Shuo, especially by the fact that Han Shuo showed no sign of panic when facing so many zombies.
Bold! Meticulous! Calm in the face of adversity!
This is the impression Han Shuo left on middle-aged men!
"If possible! We must get this person to join us!" The middle-aged man made up his mind.
In no time, less than half a minute, the group had finished packing.
The middle-aged man opened the door and stepped heavily out with one foot!
"Go see him!"
