Chapter 123 Simple, Violent, and Satisfying
Soon, Han Shuo climbed up the iron ladder to the top and gently pushed open the manhole cover above.
The moment the manhole cover was pushed in, a dazzling light stung Han Shuo's eyes.
The sudden bright light made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Squinting through the gap, Han Shuo saw that this should be the parking lot at the back entrance of the supermarket.
Are there still manhole covers like these in parking lots? Shouldn't they be part of more advanced drainage systems?
Han Shuo was a little puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. At least for now, the existence of these retro-style manhole covers in the parking lot was actually a good thing.
If it were another drainage system, the three of them wouldn't have been able to climb up so easily.
There were a few zombies in the distance, but none near the manhole cover.
Less than 10 meters to the left, Han Shuo found the door that Chen Hai had mentioned.
"action!"
Han Shuo said softly, then completely removed the manhole cover and quickly climbed out of the hole.
Fatty and Li Shurou followed closely behind, and soon arrived at the back entrance of the mall with Han Shuo.
Han Shuo turned the doorknob gently, not daring to make a sound.
The door opened, and Han Shuo glanced inside.
"Ha, there really are a lot of zombies."
Fighting cannot occur at the entrance, otherwise it will easily attract zombies from outside. We must go inside the mall and clear them out slowly.
Han Shuo quickly made a judgment, then picked up a stone from the ground and threw it inside.
"Da, da, da da, da da da da..."
The sound of the stone hitting the ground quickly attracted the zombie's attention. Taking advantage of the moment the zombie turned its head, Han Shuo winked at the two of them and quickly slipped inside, hiding behind a shelf.
Fatty and Li Shurou were also quick, and the three of them successfully sneaked into the supermarket.
On their way there, the three decided that if they could resolve the issue with melee weapons, they would try to avoid using guns.
While guns are safer and more efficient, they are still too likely to cause trouble in cities.
The fat man leaned close to Han Shuo's ear and whispered something.
"What should we do? A direct confrontation is too dangerous."
The fat man knew that rushing out like that was still too dangerous.
Although they have two genetically engineered humans, they are ultimately only at the first stage of evolution and cannot deal with zombies in the same powerful way as Captain Wang.
The fat man thought that with Han Shuo's intelligence, he must have already made a plan and would definitely use the most appropriate method to win through strategy.
However, the next second, he realized he was wrong, because Han Shuo simply pushed him out from behind the shelf.
Immediately afterwards, Han Shuo pulled Li Shurou behind another shelf, leaving behind a message before they left.
"Fatty, you go and draw their attention, Shurou and I will take care of them one by one from behind."
Han Shuo didn't use any other methods this time because, in his opinion, these dozens of zombies weren't difficult to deal with. So, he figured it was better to be simple and violent.
As for why the fat man was pushed out.
Well... someone has to step up and attract attention.
He himself was the fastest at killing zombies, and Li Shurou wasn't a genetically engineered human, so using her to attract hatred was somewhat dangerous.
Therefore, only the fat man, a natural meat shield, was left, especially since he was the only one among the three carrying a large shield.
A large shield is perfect for defense. Han Shuo believed that with Fatty's current abilities, coupled with the large shield, he could easily deal with the current situation.
...
At that moment, the fat man froze on the spot the instant Han Shuo pushed him out.
What the hell?! Why, why am I the one who has to pull the monsters again?!
The fat man wanted to cry because he felt it was so unfair.
"Han Shuo, I swear! You could have at least told me beforehand, this is so unfair!"
The fat man started speaking in a nationalistic style, then turned and cursed at the spot where the two were hiding. He then pulled out his large shield and ran away.
The fat man was standing in the middle of the supermarket aisle. The moment Han Shuo pushed him out, the zombies spotted him.
The zombies, naturally, wouldn't let go of the feast before them, and they all turned around and chased after the fat man.
Alright! Mob aggro successful!
Han Shuo thought to himself with delight, then drew his Tang sword and began slashing at the zombie horde.
"Oh My God!"
Li Shurou was still a little stunned and slapped her forehead in exasperation. Even she hadn't expected Han Shuo to do it this way.
He gave a wry smile, picked up his spear, and charged out after Han Shuo.
At first, she was a little worried about the fat man's safety, but she quickly turned her worry into excitement.
She discovered that Han Shuo's trick was incredibly effective; she had underestimated the power of genetically engineered humans.
Although the fat man kept cursing and shouting, his feet never stopped moving. The increase in strength and speed allowed him to easily jump onto the shelves.
Fortunately, the shelf is of good quality and quite sturdy, able to support the weight of an overweight person.
The fat man leaped and bounded across one shelf after another, always keeping a certain distance from the zombies behind him.
Zombies had a hard time even touching him, let alone biting him; he made the most of the terrain.
"Han Shuo, let me tell you, after this, if you don't properly soothe my wounded heart, I'm breaking off all ties with you!"
"Shurou, you've changed. You're not worried about my safety at all, but instead you're with that shameless Han Shuo."
...
The fleeing fat man would occasionally curse behind him.
Han Shuo had long since ignored the fat man's words, as he was currently busy hacking away at zombies.
As for the fat man's resentment, it was a minor issue in Han Shuo's eyes. He understood the fat man best. As long as the zombies here were completely eliminated, and the fat man was allowed to have a meal, all his resentment would be gone.
Li Shurou completely ignored the fat man's words. At this moment, she was extremely excited, and her smile was as bright as a flower.
Because she discovered that all she had to do was stand next to Han Shuo, follow behind the zombies, and mindlessly aim her spear at the back of their heads.
Just tap! Tap! Tap! That's it!
Most of the zombies ignored her completely. At this moment, she felt that the zombies in front of her were like simpletons who could only follow the fat man from behind.
Maybe the fat guy's voice was too loud? Or maybe the zombies thought the fat guy smelled better?
What a natural tank! He's so good at drawing aggro!
She ignored everything and kept pulling at the spear in her hand. With each pull, a zombie would fall down.
She had never killed zombies so easily, nor had she ever felt so good.
Unbeknownst to them, the two behind had already cleared out most of the zombies, leaving only about 20 zombies, still running behind the fat man.
At this moment, Chen Hai finally climbed out of the sewer and followed them to the back door of the supermarket.
When he peeked through the crack in the door, his eyes widened instantly, and he muttered something to himself.
"You can kill zombies like this?"
