Chapter 64 Surviving the Explosion
Time was of the essence, and no one could say how long the door and glass would last. Now that they had a plan, Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao immediately began to implement it.
"Come on, Xiao Zhao, move these two corpses over there first."
Han Shuo gave the order, and the two of them sprang into action.
Soon, the body was moved to the window closest to the gas station. Looking at the crows outside the window, Xiao Zhao was at a loss again.
"Brother Han, we need to find a way to get rid of these crows first, we can't open the windows!"
"Watch me."
Han Shuo already had a plan in mind, so he turned around and pulled Xiao Zhao into the next room.
"Pile all the tables and chairs in this room in the middle, anything that can be burned, just pile it all up."
This time, Xiao Zhao's brain didn't short-circuit again. He understood that Han Shuo wanted to use fire to temporarily gather the crows outside the room!
"Alright!"
The two continued working, and soon all the flammable materials in the room were piled up in the middle. Han Shuo took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a piece of cloth.
"Let's go back!"
The fire had just been lit, and the light was clearly not enough. The fire needed to burn for a while to completely illuminate the entire room before it was possible to attract the crows.
The two ran back to their original house. Before leaving, Han Shuo closed the door to prevent the fire from getting too big and spreading to their house.
"Xiao Zhao, get the grenades ready!"
"good!"
Once everything is ready, the two need to hide well. If the crows outside can see them, they won't easily change direction even with the firelight.
Han Shuo made Xiao Zhao squat in the corner with him and made a shushing gesture.
"Sh-!"
This is practically a dead end in the room; hiding here, the crows outside can't see the two of them.
The rest of the time was spent waiting. Han Shuo believed in his analysis and was also gambling that the crow would be attracted by the firelight!
...
At this moment, both of them were very nervous.
About a minute later, through the crack in the window, Han Shuo could vaguely see a sliver of firelight.
But that wasn't enough; only a very small number of crows were attracted to it.
Two minutes later, the fire started to spread, and the sounds of banging on the window became much quieter.
Han Shuo continued to wait; outside this window, he needed to catch the moment when all the crows flew away!
In those few short minutes, the two felt that time was passing very slowly.
Maybe three minutes? Maybe five minutes? The fire in the next room has already completely spread.
Sudden!
After one sound at the window, there was no more cawing of crows.
Now!
Han Shuo gestured to Xiao Zhao with his eyes, and the two of them quickly stood up and ran to the window.
Sure enough, all the crows outside were briefly drawn to the firelight in the next room.
Han Shuo carefully opened the window without making a sound.
There were no safety nets installed outside the windows.
Xiao Zhao reacted quickly, already carrying the man's body. He walked to the window but didn't throw it out directly. Instead, he waited for Han Shuo to carry another body.
Once both of them were ready, Han Shuo nodded.
Upon receiving the order, Xiao Zhao used all his strength to throw the body towards the gas station. After throwing it, he quickly moved aside to make way for Han Shuo.
Han Shuo moved even faster, quickly stepping forward and throwing the woman's body out as well.
"Smack! Smack!"
The two bodies fell to the ground, one after the other, right next to the gas station!
Seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, Han Shuo closed the window again.
This time, the two did not hide again, but simply stood by the window and watched.
Because the flock of crows was quickly attracted by the smell of blood in the air, they all turned around and rushed towards the two corpses on the ground!
Swarms of crows gathered toward the corpse, and in less than five seconds, half of them had already landed!
Joy gleamed in Xiao Zhao's eyes as he took a grenade from his backpack.
"Wait a little longer!"
At this moment, Han Shuo no longer deliberately lowered his voice. The flock of crows acted on instinct and had no time to pay attention to the two of them.
Crows continued to fly around the building; all the crows had to be gathered there before the gas station could be detonated.
This opportunity comes only once. If it is detonated too early, the two people will be eaten by the remaining crows. If it is detonated too late, the crows may have already completely devoured the two corpses and will then block the window again.
Therefore, Han Shuo needs to grasp the most crucial point in this process!
About 10 seconds later, Han Shuo's eyes lit up and he shouted.
"Now! Xiao Zhao, quick! Throw the grenade!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Zhao pulled the pin on the grenade. Han Shuo had just opened the window when the grenade flew right after him!
"Get down!"
Xiao Zhao knew even without Han Shuo reminding him.
"Ding, ding, ding ding ding ding..."
The grenade landed, rolled a few times, and came to a stop next to the oil filler.
Two seconds later!
"Bang!" The grenade exploded, destroying the entire machine, and the gasoline that had been left in the fuel line flowed out immediately.
Soon, the gasoline was ignited, and the flames traveled along the fuel line directly into the large fuel depot. In the next second, all the gasoline in the depot was ignited.
As flames rose, a deafening explosion rang out!
"boom!!--!!"
The gas station was completely detonated. Han Shuo felt the ground shake violently, and then all the glass in the room shattered, with shards falling on the two of them.
A surge of heat swept over Han Shuo's head.
After the explosion, Han Shuo quickly got up and looked towards the gas station.
The entire gas station was completely razed to the ground. At the very center of the explosion, a sea of fire rose, growing ever more intense, with plumes of black smoke billowing from above.
The flock of crows was almost entirely wiped out the moment of the explosion. The remaining crows were propelled into the air by the massive heat wave and were ignited by the inferno.
The fire was too big. Crow feathers are highly flammable, and if even a tiny spark gets on them, they will ignite and spread in a very short time!
Looking into the distance, the scene in the sky was extremely spectacular, with the flames on the crows illuminating half of the night sky!
"Beautiful!" Han Shuo shouted excitedly.
Xiao Zhao was also shocked by the scene before him, his mouth agape, but unfortunately Han Shuo did not give him any more time to watch.
"Quick! Grab your things, get in the car, and drive away!"
The crisis is not completely over yet. The infected creatures feel no pain. Some crows are on fire, but they are clearly not going to die immediately!
All the windows in the building were shattered; it was no longer safe here. Soon, the surviving crows would instinctively swarm over.
After quickly packing their things, the two jumped out of the third-floor window.
At this height, while not fatal, an ordinary person would certainly suffer injuries and fractures.
But Han Shuo is different from Xiao Zhao. Both of them are quite skilled. As long as they land properly and absorb the impact, they should be fine.
