Chapter 61 No Way Out
"Xiao Zhao! When you came upstairs this evening, did you lock the downstairs door properly?"
Han Shuo put down his binoculars, his eyes wide as a bull's, and turned to ask Xiao Zhao.
"It was probably...locked. I didn't notice, I forgot."
Xiao Zhao was a little intimidated by Han Shuo's gaze and replied in a low voice.
"broken!"
Han Shuo thought to himself that Xiao Zhao's reply clearly did not put his mind at ease, and Han Shuo quickly recalled the details in his mind.
He went upstairs first because he needed to bring up supplies from the car, and his arms were full of things.
Xiao Zhao followed behind, carrying just as much as he did! There was simply no room to free up any of his hands.
After the two entered the house, he was absolutely certain that Xiao Zhao had not gone downstairs again!
In a very short moment, Han Shuo got an answer!
The door downstairs! Xiao Zhao probably forgot to lock it!
"Quick! Go downstairs and lock the door!" Han Shuo shouted, then rushed downstairs!
He didn't have time to complain about Xiao Zhao. Han Shuo also knew that Xiao Zhao hadn't done it on purpose. There were no zombies nearby, and Xiao Zhao had become a bit lax after going upstairs, so it was understandable that he forgot about it!
Without Han Shuo's reminder, Xiao Zhao immediately ran downstairs, because he could see from the window that the car was about to arrive at their location!
A flock of crows was hot on the back of the car!
That suffocating feeling, along with the hoarse scream, sent chills down Xiao Zhao's spine!
"boom!!"
Ultimately, two legs can't outrun four wheels. The car had already arrived, but because it was going too fast, it couldn't brake and crashed into the wall next to the gate!
Han Shuo had just run to the stairs when he suddenly swayed and felt the whole building shake!
"Damn it, so fast!" Han Shuo cursed inwardly, his steps not faltering at all.
Meanwhile, the man and woman on the bus, who had been hit, were a little dizzy, but they quickly regained their senses, got off the bus, and ran into the building one after the other!
The woman was sitting in the passenger seat, closer to the door, and a surge of joy welled up in her heart the moment she opened it.
The door! She pushed it open very easily!
The man, who had to go around the back of the car, was a little slower, and by then, the fastest-flying crows had already swooped down on his back.
The crow's sharp claws tore through the man's clothes, followed by a sharp peck from its beak.
The man is already injured!
Despite the excruciating pain, he stumbled and followed the woman into the building.
...
Han Shuo jumped down from the second-floor staircase, just as the two of them entered the building!
Both sides spotted each other, and the three pairs of eyes met. The two lucky individuals had no idea that there were other people here.
"Who, who are you?" the woman cried out in fear.
"Bastard! Get out of my way!" Han Shuo cursed, pushing the two away and ignoring the woman.
Because several crows had already flown in behind the man!
Han Shuo drew his Tang sword at top speed and charged forward!
Swish swish swish swish!
With a swift stroke of the knife, the five crows that had flown in were dealt with in a mere instant!
Han Shuo quickly ran to the front door, tucked the Tang sword into the doorknob, and pressed his body firmly against the door!
In fact, the moment Han Shuo passed the man, he noticed the wound on the man's back. He knew that the man had been bitten by a crow and infected with the Ice Crystal Virus.
Han Shuo didn't have time to pay attention to him. The man was still some time away from turning into a zombie. The main force of the crows had arrived and were banging on the door!
Han Shuo must hold this pass. If the gate is breached by the crows, then this place will be lost!
Everyone! They all have to die!
...
"Xiao Zhao! Quick, find some sticks!"
Han Shuo shouted frantically behind him.
Xiao Zhao had already come downstairs by this time. Hearing Han Shuo's shouts, he quickly searched for something nearby.
Soon, Xiao Zhao found a wooden stick in a room and took an iron rod off a chair, and delivered them to Han Shuo.
"Give!"
Han Shuo took the two sticks and quickly replaced the Tang sword with them. He then attached them to the doorknob, firmly securing the door.
Han Shuo was still a little worried, so he and Xiao Zhao pushed over a table and placed it in front of the door.
Seeing that the gate was completely sealed off, and judging from the situation, the crows wouldn't be able to break through anytime soon, the two breathed a sigh of relief!
"I'm sorry, Brother Han, it's all my fault for being careless." Xiao Zhao felt very guilty and lowered his head.
It was so close! Just a hair's breadth away! If Han Shuo had reacted a fraction slower, the two of them would likely have been devoured by the crows, leaving no trace of their remains.
And all of this was due to his negligence in the evening.
"It's okay, just be more careful next time."
Han Shuo patted Xiao Zhao on the shoulder, not taking it too seriously.
Now that the matter is resolved, let's not dwell on the complaints. After all, not everyone is as cautious and meticulous as I am.
Xiao Zhao was extremely grateful that Han Shuo did not blame him.
With the crisis temporarily averted, Han Shuo finally turned his attention to the two survivors.
These two almost ruined them!
The surviving men and women were huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, and dared not utter a sound.
Because they had just witnessed Han Shuo's agile movements. They also saw the gun on Xiao Zhao!
The two were terrified that Han Shuo would kill them in a fit of rage at any moment.
"You two, come up here!"
Han Shuo glared at the two of them, then went up to the third floor with Xiao Zhao and returned to the room they had just been in.
The crows outside were also banging against the windowpane, but fortunately the glass was sturdy enough not to break anytime soon; after all this time, not even a crack had appeared.
Han Shuo leaned against the window with a blank expression, filtering out the sounds behind him.
Xiao Zhao stood silently beside Han Shuo, staring intently at the two survivors at the door, fearing they might do something inappropriate.
At this point, how could they dare!
The two, a man and a woman, had never had such thoughts before. Trembling, they supported each other because they had just been frightened by Han Shuo's aura. If they didn't do this, they would collapse to the ground in the next second.
As for Han Shuo, he is now thinking about how to deal with the two of them, and even more so about how to escape from this building and survive!
Now that the flock of crows has discovered them, they certainly won't give up easily. Han Shuo knows what creatures infected with the Ice Crystal Virus look like.
Whether it's zombies or other animals!
Once they spot a human, they will attack on instinct, fighting to the death!
It's either it dies, or you die!
The situation is not optimistic. Even if the glass and doors can hold for several hours, Han Shuo would never believe that they will never break.
The outside was completely surrounded. Every possible way out—the gate, the windows, every possible exit—was covered in crows. And even if one could get out, it would be a dead end if they couldn't get rid of the flock of crows.
This number is truly terrifying. Even Han Shuo, who is usually calm and composed, felt a sense of despair at this moment.
Everything proved that there was no way out; all that was left for them was death!
