Chapter 46 Rescue
Han Shuo walked back to the window.
In the end, he couldn't overcome his conscience, and he decided to save people!
If he could abandon even these people, Han Shuo felt he was not worthy of being a human being!
Open the window and take out the hunting rifle!
Although he was trying to save people, Han Shuo was not blinded by his emotions and did not rush down directly. He wanted to use the gunshots in the room to help the four people below attract their attention.
If enough zombies were attracted to their direction, the four below might have a chance to break through. Although doing so would also put them in danger, Han Shuo couldn't care less about that at the moment.
Because the four people downstairs are currently in a hopeless situation! And Han Shuo wants to be the one to break this deadlock!
In just two minutes, the situation for the four people below worsened; they were now less than 20 meters from the zombie encirclement!
...
"Captain! There are people in the building across the street!"
The moment Han Shuo opened the window, Xiao Zhao spotted him.
Even without Xiao Zhao's reminder, the middle-aged man noticed Han Shuo at this moment.
Then, the middle-aged man saw Han Shuo pull out a hunting rifle from behind his back.
This action clearly indicates that he is about to fire a gun to save them.
"Stop! Don't shoot!" the middle-aged man shouted at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo's actions touched the middle-aged man, but the situation here was clearly not something that could be solved with just enthusiasm.
If Han Shuo fires a shot, the sound will instantly attract zombies to surround him. Although Han Shuo is currently on the seventh floor, he will still have nowhere to retreat when the zombies surround the entire building.
The middle-aged man had already resolved to die with his teammates, and he didn't want to implicate a complete stranger at this moment.
Even though he was truly, truly moved...
"Don't shoot! We don't need your help, and you can't save us!" The middle-aged man kicked away a charging zombie and continued shouting at Han Shuo.
"Yes! You can't save us, so you'd better survive on your own!"
The three people behind, including Xiao Zhao, also shouted and tried to persuade him.
Han Shuo didn't fire the shotgun in his hand. After a few seconds, he put the gun away and closed the window again.
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Shuo had finally listened to their advice and understood.
If he causes trouble for others because of himself, a middle-aged man will not rest in peace even if he dies.
...
Han Shuo putting away his gun did not mean he had given up on saving people again.
He had already filtered out the words of the others in his mind.
His action of putting away the gun was due to a better idea suddenly arising in his mind.
Because out of the corner of his eye, Han Shuo saw that the intelligent zombie had appeared directly below him!
"If we get rid of this skinless mutant, will the zombies in the distance stop gathering?"
Han Shuo was thinking rapidly.
He didn't know as much about this mutant as the middle-aged man did; his conclusion was merely a quick guess based on the situation.
"It's very likely, because ordinary zombies don't have any intelligence at all and wouldn't go straight here from that far away."
Han Shuo's thoughts were very clear; he was a thoughtful person by nature.
"Yes! If that's the case, killing this mutant is the key to breaking the deadlock."
For a moment when he opened the window, Han Shuo couldn't deny that he felt a surge of excitement. But now that he had calmed down and thought things through, he realized the key to saving the situation!
They acted immediately. Time was running out for Han Shuo, and none of the four below knew how much ammunition they had left.
Once the rifles stop firing, none of them will have a chance of survival!
Moreover, if the intelligent zombie moves again, he will have lost his most precious opportunity!
...
"But how am I supposed to get down?" That is the question.
However, Han Shuo soon discovered a drainpipe running from the roof to the ground floor in the kitchen next door. His eyes lit up and he had a plan in mind.
He quickly opened the window, slung his hunting rifle over his shoulder, and with a Tang sword at his waist, slowly climbed down the drainpipe.
At this moment, the intelligent zombie was still at his bottom!
...
"Holy crap? Captain, that guy's back again."
As soon as Xiao Zhao finished shouting, the middle-aged man immediately looked up.
Sure enough, this time, he saw Han Shuo climbing down the pipe.
A cold sweat broke out on the middle-aged man's body.
Honey, this is the height of the seventh floor. Putting aside why Han Shuo reappeared, there is no safety protection at all. If he is not careful, he will slip and fall to his death, which is much more unjust than being bitten to death by a zombie.
"What are you doing, kid? Go back!" the middle-aged man shouted at Han Shuo.
Han Shuo ignored it; his attention was now entirely focused on his arm. With each step he took, his fingers gripped the water pipe tightly. He knew that if he fell, he would surely die.
However, Han Shuo knew his own physical condition better than anyone else, and he was confident that climbing down wouldn't be difficult.
Seeing that Han Shuo did not respond, the middle-aged man continued to climb down, and in a short while, he had climbed from the seventh floor to the sixth floor.
The middle-aged man shouted again.
“Brother, we know you mean well. Listen to me, it’s not too late to crawl back now.”
"Yeah, brother, our survival is hanging by a thread, we can't drag you down with us," Xiao Zhao echoed.
Han Shuo frowned. The constant shouts from the group were distracting him, and he couldn't respond.
The reason is that the zombies haven't found him yet. If he makes a sound to reply to the middle-aged man, it will definitely attract the attention of other zombies. At that time, the intelligent zombie will definitely move to another location!
All our previous efforts have been in vain!
To concentrate, Han Shuo turned his head, freed one hand, pointed downwards, and then mouthed the words.
He only said four words, which meant: It's down there!
Han Shuo didn't know if the other person could understand him from such a distance, but that was all he could do for now. He then stopped being distracted and continued climbing down.
Xiao Zhao and his two companions didn't understand Han Shuo's meaning at all.
However, middle-aged men have, after all, pushed the limits of the human body; their eyesight and observational abilities are extraordinary.
They quickly deciphered Han Shuo's lip movements and came up with four words.
"Is it down there?"
With Han Shuo's gestures, the middle-aged man quickly guessed who was down there.
"Could it be? That intelligent zombie from earlier is downstairs from this young man?"
"That's right, that must be it!"
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. If what Han Shuo said was true, then they might actually have a chance to survive!
The premise is that Han Shuo can successfully deal with the Linghui zombie.
"Hold on, everyone! The Spirit Zombie is most likely below that young man! Once he kills the Spirit Zombie, the zombies nearby won't gather here anymore, and we still have hope!"
The middle-aged man's words undoubtedly pulled Xiao Zhao and his two companions back from the depths of despair.
A flame of hope was rekindled in the eyes of the three!
