Chapter 170 Clearing the Corridor of Zombies
"Fatty, come over here and hold the door shut while I check what's going on inside."
"good."
The two switched places, and Han Shuo quickly looked into the gap after letting go of her hand.
Because the factory is enclosed, it is somewhat dark inside. Fortunately, there are many glass panels on both sides of the top, so you can see roughly what's inside when the sunlight shines through.
Han Shuo noticed that there was a passageway ahead in his line of sight.
Apart from the few corpses at his feet, no other zombies were found inside.
However, there are simply too many blind spots, making it impossible to see clearly from just this spot.
"Fatty, open the door a person's width, I'm going in to take a look."
"good."
Soon, the door was opened a little more, and Han Shuo quickly squeezed in sideways.
Once inside, the view suddenly became much wider.
The passageway was lined with walls on both sides, and apart from the few zombie corpses at the entrance, there were no other zombies in sight.
Han Shuo walked directly into the passageway, and then a fork appeared on the left and right sides respectively.
Worried that there might be zombies in the blind spot, Han Shuo leaned against the wall and cautiously peered out.
The fork in the road to the left was fine; no danger was immediately apparent.
However, there were more than a dozen zombies wandering around the fork in the road on the right.
"Hmm? There's an administrative building in the distance at the fork in the road to the right."
Han Shuo quickly analyzed the situation in his mind. It was almost evening, and if everyone decided to stay here, the administrative building would be a good choice.
However, to get through, they needed to clear the zombies from the passageway, so Han Shuo decided to return temporarily and find a place to temporarily camp.
As for where the left fork leads, Han Shuo guessed it should be the assembly line in the pharmaceutical factory workshop.
That should be the direction they ultimately need to explore.
Han Shuo knew that after the pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing went through the assembly line, all of it would be stored in the finished product warehouse.
However, the situation in the workshop is complicated, and the entire pharmaceutical processing plant is very large. Finding the finished product warehouse in so many rooms requires some effort.
Without wasting any more time, Han Shuo turned around and quietly retreated without attracting the attention of the zombies ahead.
...
"How's it going? Are there many zombies inside?"
The fat gatekeeper saw Han Shuo come out and quickly asked.
"It's alright. We've found the administrative building. We should be able to set up camp there temporarily. The number of zombies there is also within a controllable range."
"Oh, that's good, that's good."
As the fat man spoke, he prepared to close the door again to prevent the zombies inside from suddenly rushing out.
"Don't close the door, it will make noise and attract the zombies inside."
Han Shuo stopped him and continued speaking.
"I'll watch the door. You and Xiao Zhao go and call Li Shurou and Wai Di over. Also, take all the supplies from the car with you. Just leave the car outside for now."
"good."
The fat man was also very decisive. He waved to Xiao Zhao and hurriedly ran towards the armored vehicle.
Han Shuo waited in place while keeping watch at the door. After about ten minutes, the fat man and his group came running over with large and small bags.
"Brother Han, we're here!" Xiao Zhao said with a grin, adjusting his baseball cap.
Han Shuo frowned. The armored vehicle wasn't far away, so why did it take them ten minutes to get something?
"Why are you so slow? It's almost dark."
Li Shurou put her luggage on the ground and pointed helplessly at the fat man.
"Ask him."
"Um?"
Just as Han Shuo was about to speak, he saw the fat man take his hands out from behind his back.
Goodness, a steering wheel.
At this moment, the fat man chuckled.
"Hehe, I was worried someone would steal the car, so I removed the steering wheel. But this armored vehicle is a bit difficult to disassemble, so it took a little longer."
"Hmm...not bad, not bad, well done."
Han Shuo couldn't help but give a thumbs up. This kid has always been a thoughtful person.
The fat man unknowingly developed the habit of carrying a steering wheel with him whenever he went out.
His motto is: as long as the car is there, he'll be there; and even when he's not there, the steering wheel must still be there...
However, this tactic is indeed effective, since armored vehicles have a much higher safety rating than ordinary cars.
If it's really that coincidental that it was stolen, finding it again won't be so easy.
Although they still have a car at home...
"Alright everyone, pack your bags and grab your weapons. We're ready to charge in."
"Remember, don't fire unless absolutely necessary. It's too enclosed inside, and the sound will travel a long way. It won't be fun if you get surrounded by zombies."
"I'll lead the way, Fatty will bring up the rear, and Xiao Zhao, you'll follow behind me to protect Shurou and Wai Di in the middle."
"good."
"clear."
Han Shuo quickly devised an action plan, then thought for a moment before continuing.
"Hey, bro, come here."
Wai Di walked up to Han Shuo with a puzzled look in his eyes.
"You must listen to me. Don't attack any zombies you see, and don't shout or yell. Use the dagger in your hand to protect yourself."
"Remember, never stray from the group. Stay close to us in the middle, understand?"
Wai Di clearly understood and kept nodding.
Han Shuo felt that nothing had been missed, so he ordered them to proceed inside.
"Alright! Everyone stand in your positions, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo drew his Tang sword and went through the door first, followed closely by the three people and the child.
Soon, he returned to the fork in the road.
I glanced to the left, but there was still no sign of zombies there.
Han Shuo turned around and waved to the back, then without hesitation, turned right and charged straight inside.
The five people maintained their formation, and the moment they appeared, the zombies also spotted them.
There weren't too many zombies ahead, only about a dozen visible to the naked eye. Han Shuo was confident that he could handle that number by himself.
With a swift stroke, Han Shuo severed the head of a zombie. Xiao Zhao, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward to finish it off, crushing the head with a kick.
Han Shuo could have killed him with a single blow, but slashing was more efficient than stabbing, since it would take time to pull the Tang sword out of his head after it had been inserted into his head.
He needed to disable the zombies as quickly as possible, because the moment he entered the corridor, Han Shuo discovered several rooms on both sides.
Inside the room, many zombies rushed out, and the dozen or so zombies instantly turned into dozens.
As the number of zombies increased, the four people in the back also had to join the battle.
Despite some unexpected situations, everyone remained calm and carried out the kills in an orderly manner.
Han Shuo didn't look back, and charged straight ahead.
He needed to create an opening so that everyone wouldn't be surrounded, and Xiao Zhao and the others would handle the zombies that came out of the room.
...
One minute later, Han Shuo killed all the zombies in front of him.
The next step leads out through a passageway, but Han Shuo didn't rush over. Instead, he turned back to support his teammates.
With his arrival, the zombies behind them quickly fell one after another at their feet.
Soon, the five people had cleared out all the dozens of zombies.
Looking at the piles of corpses at his feet, Han Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the front of the corridor!
"I'm hungry..."
