Chapter 496 Getting Off the Vehicle to Face the Enemy
"Slap—! Slap! Slap slap slap! Slap slap slap slap slap slap..."
The next instant, the sound of the swarm of zombie birds crashing into the truck rang out.
"Quick! Everyone, close the windows and lock the doors!"
Han Shuo anxiously sent a reminder into the communicator.
He had barely finished speaking when he noticed that the windshield of his truck was gradually being obscured by a flock of zombie birds.
My vision is getting worse and worse...
He could vaguely make out what appeared to be a building in the distance through the crack.
Although he was too far away to see clearly, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
The next second, the surrounding glass was completely blocked by the swarm of zombie birds, and everyone inside the car was plunged into complete darkness.
...
In the darkness, people are always unconsciously afraid, and the fat man's shouts immediately came through the communicator.
"What do we do? What do we do? We can't see anything!"
"Yeah, Brother Han, me too!"
The convoy stopped without anyone noticing.
Han Shuo quickly shouted.
"Everyone, follow me. I think I just saw a building to the northeast. It's not too far away. We should be able to drive there in the blind!"
After he finished speaking, he quickly recalled the route he had just taken, relying on his memory.
He then turned on the interior lights and stared intently at the dashboard, trying to calculate the time it would take to reach the distant building based on the vehicle's speed.
Feeling that it was about time, Han Shuo took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel firmly, put his foot on the accelerator again, and drove the truck slowly forward without being able to see the road.
"Okay, okay, we'll follow you."
"Yes, everyone, hang in there! We can definitely survive!"
The fat man and the others were panicking, but they still tried their best to cheer themselves up.
Driving in the blind is a huge challenge for everyone.
Everyone turned on the interior lights of the car to dispel their fear.
Not long after they were plunged into darkness, the fat man and his companions lost their sense of direction. At this point, they could only listen to the roar of Han Shuo's truck and bravely follow behind.
...
"Clap clap clap clap clap..."
Since the arrival of the ghouls, the sound of them crashing into the trucks has never stopped.
Everyone tried their best to ignore the sound in their ears and carefully tried to determine the direction of Han Shuo's truck.
Everyone was on high alert, not daring to be careless in the slightest. If they lost track of the others, they would not only be in dire straits themselves, but they would also indirectly cause trouble for the others...
Han Shuo drove slowly at the front of the convoy, not daring to speed up too much, lest he crash into the building upon arrival.
Although he has strong calculation abilities, he can only roughly calculate the distance between the two places from such a distance; this data cannot be completely accurate.
In the wilderness, that distant building was the only place he had found where everyone could take refuge in an emergency. If they accidentally bumped into a hole, it would be extremely difficult for them to survive...
...
"Crackling and popping!"
The swarm of corpse birds continued to violently ram the truck.
Fortunately, their car windows were of good quality and did not crack immediately.
Han Shuo ignored the noise, calmed himself down, and shouted into the communicator.
"Is everyone following?"
"I'm following along."
"Brother Han, I'm behind Brother Pang."
"We're following along too..."
...
The fat man and the others responded one after another.
After confirming that no one was missing, Han Shuo slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He focused his attention and continued to lead the way in the blind spot ahead.
"It'll be soon, it should be soon!"
He silently prayed to himself, as if he could see the hope of life right before his eyes.
However, suddenly, with a thud, he felt his truck stop for a moment, and the gauges on the dashboard were dropping rapidly.
"No! No!"
The truck seems to have broken down...
With anxious eyes, Han Shuo frantically pressed the accelerator pedal.
However, no matter how hard he stepped on the pedal, the truck kept making a buzzing noise, and he could not increase the speed.
Soon, the truck came to a complete stop. Han Shuo slapped the steering wheel with both hands and leaned back weakly in his seat.
He knew that this meant a carcass bird had gotten caught in the wheel.
Although his car windows weren't broken, the axle was completely jammed...
...
Just as he stopped, a series of bad news rang out from the communicator again.
"It's over, Han Shuo, several of my car wheels have been punctured by the swarm of corpse birds."
"Brother Han, there are too many corpse birds stuck in my axle, and the car can't move."
"Captain Han... my situation is about the same..."
Within moments, all of their trucks were experiencing similar problems.
The number of the ghouls was so large that the truck could not hold on for more than two minutes while being surrounded by them.
The next moment, Han Shuo and the others' trucks came to a stop on the spot, and an unexpected event occurred!
...
"Clap clap clap clap clap!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
After the car stopped, the crashing of the corpse birds seemed to intensify.
"What should we do? Does anyone have a better idea? We can't just sit here and wait to die!" the fat man shouted anxiously into the communicator.
As soon as the sound faded, a "crack" was heard, and Han Shuo discovered that his car window had finally developed a crack.
This last line of defense will soon be breached!
Once the car window breaks, surviving in such a confined space is harder than climbing to heaven.
How could we just sit here and wait to die?
Rather than doing nothing, Han Shuo prefers to give it his all in the final stretch.
He grabbed the Tang sword from the passenger seat, hardened his heart, and gave an order into the communicator.
"Everyone, listen to my command! We'll get off the bus and fight our way out!"
"Good! Damn it, let's get them."
"Yes, we also have flamethrowers, so we have a chance to fight back!"
...
"Phew~"
Han Shuo gripped the Tang sword in his hand and placed his other hand on the car door handle.
"3! 2! 1! Get off the bus!"
At his command, everyone immediately opened the car doors and rushed out.
After Han Shuo got out of the car, he realized just how dire the situation was.
In the sky, an endless flock of corpse birds circled, their red eyes illuminating the entire dark sky.
In that instant, he was surrounded by corpse birds.
Han Shuo swung his sword with all his might, and several afterimages flashed by as he dealt with many of the surrounding corpse birds.
He found a gap and squeezed out, then quickly glanced into the distance.
Sure enough, he hadn't been mistaken; there was a house exactly 500 meters ahead.
This distance, which wouldn't normally be too far for them, now seemed so unreachable.
Surrounded by the swarm of corpse birds, they couldn't possibly hold out until they reached the other side. Their only option now was to kill!
