Its not hard to understand why this group of survivors would retreat into this building, and the reason is probably the same as why Ling Mo chose this place. First, this building is closest to the main gate, and secondly, the geographical conditions here are the best. On one side is a man-made stream, on the other side is a fountain square, and there is a certain distance between the surrounding buildings. This way, they wont be surrounded, and there are several escape routes.
I think this group of people is planning to temporarily delay their time by borrowing this building and then taking the opportunity to escape from the other side.
But just as they reached the second floor, a loud crash came from below, clearly the front door had been completely smashed open. The commotion and their footsteps also immediately lured out the zombies hiding in the building, and for a time, the sounds of chopping and wailing filled the air, with several crashes against the door of the room where Ling Mo and the others were staying, it was unclear whether it was zombies or humans who had crashed into it.
Ling Mo quietly walked to the door, looked out through the peephole, and saw that these people had retreated into a house across the street, quickly locking the door behind them. A large group of zombies crowded in the corridor, frantically pounding on the door. Hearing the sounds of tearing and chewing mixed in, Ling Mo guessed that they must have suffered casualties, and now the corridor should be filled with the bodies of zombies.
Its impossible to stop the zombies by retreating into the house, I estimate that group of people is planning to jump off the building to escape. This is actually a good method, lure the pursuing zombies into the stairs and then jump off the building to leave this place, in this way even if we cant shake off the zombies completely, but we can still gain some time to escape.
Jumping down from the second floor is actually quite dangerous, but Ling Mo knew that there was a circle of grass outside the building, and as long as he wasnt extremely unlucky, he shouldnt break his leg. Besides, in such an emergency situation, its not easy to find a foolproof solution, being able to think of using the building is already much better than those who only know how to panic and run away.
"What should we do, Brother Ling? Should we help?" Liu Yu Haos face looked unpleasant as he leaned in close to Ling Mo and asked in a low voice.
Ling Mo glanced at him sideways and said: "There are at least thirty zombies outside, as soon as we open the door, we will be blocked to death here, how can you help?"
Liu Yuhao was speechless, while Ling Mo shook his head silently in his heart. This kind of personality could be described as kind and good-natured at best, but at worst, it was meddling in other peoples business without considering the consequences. And judging from this one incident, it seemed unlikely that he would change overnight...
However, the zombies outside the door are getting more and more, and some zombies even start hitting the door on this side. Ling Mos expression suddenly becomes a bit gloomy: "We cant stay here either, lets go."
The zombies crashed into the door, not necessarily because they had discovered Ling Mos trail, but because they had temporarily lost their target and were stimulated by the bloody smell to become extremely violent. It wasnt just Ling Mos place, other doors were also being smashed.
Wang Cheng had been frightened silly by the commotion outside and now asked subconsciously: "Where are we going?"
"Jump!"
But that being said, Ling Mo wouldnt recklessly jump off the building without a grasp of the situation. If he were to injure his legs, then he would truly be waiting for death. Fortunately, he had used furniture to block the door last night, so although the door was being smashed with loud "bangs", it hadnt been completely broken open yet. However, even so, the time left for Ling Mo and the others was already running out.
Ling Mo quickly pulled out a climbing rope from his backpack, which he had collected from an outdoor gear store before. It was originally intended for use in certain extreme situations, but he didnt expect to use it so soon.
After tying a knot and securing it, Ling Mo controlled Ye Lian and Xia Na to pull the rope down first. The second floor was not high, and there were air conditioner outdoor units outside the window that could be used for leverage. Moreover, the two zombie girls movements were much more agile than ordinary people, so they quickly fell to the ground and immediately began to clear the nearby zombies for Ling Mo and others.
Liu Yuhao was so scared that his face turned pale, but he insisted on not going down first. Ling Mo urged him twice, then pulled the rope and jumped onto the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, then borrowed force to jump down again, releasing the rope when he was still more than a meter away from the ground.
Right behind was Wang Cheng, and when Liu Yu Hao jumped down, the door had already been knocked open by zombies. Several zombies rushed to the window and jumped down without hesitation.
However, the zombies didnt know how to use ropes. As soon as they came, they couldnt help but fall down under the influence of inertia. Ling Mo and Ye Lian didnt give them a chance to get up, and Shanas long knife wasnt just for show either. But after seeing her take action, she started to turn red-eyed, and Ling Mos scalp felt numb. He hurriedly strengthened his control over her, not letting her continue to act.
"Hurry up."
In the blink of an eye, several zombie corpses appeared on the ground, and it can be imagined that they would soon attract many zombies to swarm in. Therefore, Ling Mo immediately took Ye Lian and others to rush towards the side door of the residential area. The reason why they didnt go through the main gate was because there were also a lot of zombies at the main gate at this time, all of which were brought over by that group of people.
No sooner had I run along this residential building and reached the back lane than I bumped into that group of survivors!
These people jumped from the other side of the building, and their goal was also to escape from the side door.
Ling Mo saw this group of people and suddenly felt extremely depressed. With such a big target, the zombie crowd would definitely follow!
But in just a short while, they seemed to have lost three or four people...
"One of the young men ran to the front, presumably to open the way, and suddenly saw Ling Mo and others, and exclaimed. They probably didnt expect that there were still survivors in this community, and they happened to meet them."
Ling Mo rolled his eyes and took advantage of the group falling behind to make a run for it. He didnt know what method they had used, but the zombies hadnt appeared for the time being. Ling Mo led Ye Lian and the others in a frantic sprint out of the residential area, only hearing the sounds of zombies coming from far away.
"Hey!" The young man from before actually followed them again, panting and shouting to stop Ling Mo and the others.
Its so early and Ive already been forced to give up on finding a place to stay. Ling Mos expression doesnt look good at all, and his tone of voice is also somewhat unpleasant: "What?"
"That...". The young man wasnt stupid, and he immediately apologized, "Sorry, we didnt know you were here, and weve dragged you into this. This isnt a place for talking, do you want to come back to our camp with us?"
A camp? This group of people actually has a camp?
Ling Mos expression suddenly revealed a hint of surprise. He had originally intended to open his mouth and refuse, but he caught sight of Liu Yu Hao behind him at a glance.
He himself didnt want to go to some survivor camp, and Wang Chengs life or death wasnt something he cared about much. But Liu Yuhao was someone who gave Ling Mo a very good impression. However, his personality had decided that it was impossible for Ling Mo to keep him by his side. The best outcome would be to find a good place for Liu Yuhao.
