Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 960: Chapter 945: Wildly Impractical Ideas (Part 2)

After a brief discussion, the rescue team managed to come up with a relatively feasible escape plan.

However, to implement this plan smoothly, there are still many involved elements.

For example, setting up firecrackers, how to lure the zombies, obtaining a loudspeaker, and the method to trap the zombies at the brick kiln.

All of these are current issues for the survivors, but no matter what, this plan must be executed.

Because they truly have no other viable options.

"Alright, Old Xu, we’ll stick to this plan for now. Hold on a bit longer on your side, we’ll immediately start working on the related details. I’ll contact you if there are any updates." Although Lin Junfu said this, he didn’t feel confident at all.

After all, trying to guide nearly a thousand zombies to the target kiln, the difficulty... is imaginable.

"Okay, then it’s hard work for you outside. I’ll be waiting for your good news." Old Xu was also aware of the task’s difficulty, but what other choice do they have? Not doing it means only death.

After hanging up the phone, Old Xu exhaled lightly. Li Xiaoxin looked at him anxiously from the side.

Li Xiaoxin had listened carefully to the previous conversation. To be honest, he didn’t have much hope for the action plan.

"Commander, are you really planning to have Old Lin and the others divert the zombies?"

"Hoo~" Old Xu forced a bitter smile, then met Li Xiaoxin’s gaze: "I must bring back Lina, Little De, and the others. I don’t want the Yuhuan Gymnasium incident to repeat."

As soon as he said this, Li Xiaoxin fell silent, thinking of his dead comrades, his fists clenched tightly.

"Alright! Xiaoxin, let’s go. You go and tell Lei Tong about this. I’ll go tell Little De and the others."

After giving instructions, Old Xu and Li Xiaoxin went their separate ways.

As soon as Old Xu returned to the classroom, Derek immediately went up to him: "Did you find what we need, Old Xu?"

"Yes!" Nodding slightly, Old Xu responded briefly.

"Then... should we contact those outside to inform them about our situation here?"

Facing the current situation, Derek clearly had no hope for the forces in the school building.

After all, he understood the surrounding building environment better than Old Xu and the others, so he knew that once the well path at the bottom of the building was blocked, there was no way out.

Thus, if there was any possibility of escape, it could only rely on external rescue forces.

"I’ve already contacted Old Lin and the others." Old Xu didn’t intend to hide anything from Derek and responded truthfully.

"Then... have you told them about the situation here?"

"Yes, I’ve told them everything."

"What did Old Lin and the others say?"

"We discussed it and devised an escape plan."

"What!? You have a way to get out!?"

With Old Xu’s words, it was like a bomb was dropped in a calm lake. Demmi, unable to control her emotions, burst out excitedly.

Old Xu could completely understand the girl’s reaction, he nodded: "That’s right, we’ve devised an escape plan, and Old Lin and the others have already started preparing."

Upon hearing this, Demmi and Derek exchanged looks of joy in each other’s eyes.

You know, just seconds ago they were still worrying about the "tragic" situation of running out of food in two days, but now... this sudden leap from hell to heaven felt somewhat unreal to both of them.

"Old Xu, quickly tell us, what exactly is your plan?" Derek eagerly asked. He hoped he could do something for the upcoming action.

"Well..." Seeing the barely suppressible excitement and eagerness on Demmi and Derek’s faces, Old Xu hesitated about whether to tell them the detailed plan or not.

He could imagine how the two young people would react after hearing his narration, and Old Xu really didn’t want to discourage them.

"What’s wrong? Old Xu, is there a problem?" Seeing Xu Renjie still reluctant to speak, Demmi felt a sense of unease.

Old Xu once again forced a bitter smile; one must admit that women’s intuition is very acute.

Considering that the action was about to start soon, to avoid any misunderstandings during explanations later on, Old Xu finally decided to tell the young people the plan in detail.

But even so, Demmi and Derek were still shocked enough.

"You are planning to lead all the zombies on campus away!?" Derek felt like he was hearing things. Otherwise, how could anyone think of such a nonsensical idea?

Old Xu calmly replied, "Yes."

"Old Xu, we’re not joking around, do you know how many zombies there are in this school?"

"Around a thousand."

"You know... and you’re still sure about this plan? They, they don’t understand human language, how, how do you plan to lead them away?"

"Sound. You’ve been out so many times, I believe you have some understanding of zombies’ characteristics. After zombies evolve, their various qualities have improved, but their eyesight and intelligence have greatly declined. They don’t have the brain to discern the essence of things. So, they can be led away by sound."

"That, that’s not wrong. But the problem is nearly a thousand zombies... You know, with this scale, even with humans in front, organizing their actions is difficult. Don’t you think..." Derek was somewhat bewildered by Old Xu’s plan, causing his thoughts to become chaotic.

"I understand, the plan indeed has many difficulties. But compared to our current situation, it’s nothing. If the plan indeed fails, then it’s just failure. But if we don’t try, do we just wait here to die?"

A rhetorical question completely left Derek speechless.

Yes, at this moment they are "prey" trapped in a prison of corpses; if they don’t get out, they’re just waiting to die.

Since they are going to die, why not take a chance before dying?

After all, taking a chance still leaves a glimmer of hope, whereas not taking a chance...

"What can we do?" Derek ultimately accepted Old Xu’s plan.

Old Xu stroked his chin: "The only thing we can do now is to guard the main gate. Oh, by the way, I do have something to ask Demmi."

"What is it?"

"I need you to talk to the girls. You know what they’ve been through over the past six months, and their current psychological state is very unstable. This is very unfavorable for our subsequent actions. I don’t want any unexpected incidents during the escape because of their instability. So..."

"I understand!" Without waiting for Old Xu to finish, Demmi responded firmly.

As a woman, Demmi fully understood the psychological feelings of those bullied girls. She had often thought about what her reaction would be if she had suffered the hellish abuse like those girls.

But regarding this issue, Demmi had never found an answer, firstly because she didn’t want to think about that outcome. Secondly, because she had Derek, the man who loved and protected her.

So Demmi was fortunate, that a woman was able to survive unharmed in such an environment was indeed a miracle. (To be continued.
