Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 973: Chapter 958: Operation Luring Corpses (6)

Strike while the iron is hot, catching the zombies’ attention, Hu Xiaodong quickly fired three more "bait carbon arrows" in succession.

Under the chaos wrought by these "bait" carbon arrows, the originally scattered group of zombies gradually gathered together.

Seeing the timing was right, Hu Xiaodong hurriedly used a hand-held radio to contact the "escort vehicle" that had long disappeared from sight.

"Hello, hello, Zhongyu? It’s Brother Hu, speed it up and increase the speaker volume, lead the zombies away. Over!"

The sound from the microphone was clear, and Wang Zhongyu immediately hit the horn control on the steering wheel.

Immediately, a piercing buzz, like a thunderous explosion shattering the sky, combined with the special emptiness of the remote suburbs, made the noise spread in all directions like ripples stirred by pebbles, thrilling.

Wang Zhongyu’s actions quickly took effect, and after the firecrackers completed their brief mission, the zombies were immediately attracted to the subsequent blaring horn.

Undoubtedly, the beasts had no way to discern these sounds’ sources. All they could do was follow the noise, advancing bit by bit.

"Phew~" Exhaling deeply, seeing the zombie tide reorganizing, Hu Xiaodong put down the Compound Bow with relief.

But he knew it wasn’t time to relax because until the beasts were completely led into the kiln factory and locked up, no one knew what might happen.

After a brief communication with Wang Zhongyu about the situation in the rear, Hu Xiaodong asked the other party to continue maintaining the current frequency of noise influence.

This real-time information was also transmitted via radio waves into the ears of Old Xu and the others on campus.

Although trapped and unable to be on the front line, Old Xu always felt tense.

Not only him, but Lei Tong, Demmi, Derek, and others could also feel the tension and pressure of the personnel’s actions outside the school.

Xu Renjie stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.

At the moment, the campus was much quieter, the playground streets originally full of zombie heads were now noticeably emptier.

But even so, zombies were still present, and their number was still around a hundred. It’s just that the scattered distance made them seem much fewer.

However, Xu Renjie knew the danger among them was no less than before.

Should they go through the well path?

This question, Old Xu had always considered.

After all, compared to the open road, the well path had relatively fewer exposure chances.

Old Xu moved his gaze to the bottom floor, where the iron fence at the well path had collapsed under the violent dismantling by zombies.

However, at the moment, not many zombies were inside, dealing with them wasn’t difficult for their forces.

But the problem was whether the inside of the well path was still as safe as when they arrived.

After all, with such a huge commotion outside, it’s very likely some zombies had entered through the well bottom.

Thinking of this, Old Xu immediately dismissed the emerging idea.

Kidding, if they were trapped at the well bottom at this critical moment, they’d truly be stuck with no way forward or back, waiting for death.

"Captain, what are you thinking?" Seeing Old Xu stupefied at the window, Lei Tong worriedly walked over.

"Nothing! By the way, Demmi, how did your communication go earlier, did those girls say anything?"

Due to being too expectant, Old Xu hadn’t yet asked this question. He feared hearing a bad answer. But with the situation developing, the team must prepare to leave, so he had no retreat, he had to ask.

Demmi sighed helplessly: "Sorry, I tried my best, but..."

"Enough, I got it!" Raising his hand to interrupt Demmi’s words, Old Xu felt somewhat powerless.

What must come will come, cannot be escaped, cannot be avoided.

Old Xu was silent for a moment and finally made a decision: "Later call those 2 girls, as for the rest, let’s leave the remaining supplies and select necessary medicines for them. Consider it the last bit of help we do for them before leaving."

After the escort vehicle crawled for another 10 minutes, the blurry outline of the kiln factory gradually revealed itself.

"Quick! Contact Little Luo, he can start the equipment on his side!" Wang Zhongyu, eyes fixed ahead, gave an order without turning his head.

As usual, Wei Dazhuang completed the transmission of the command.

In fact, Luo Baochun had already noticed the commotion in the distance from the vehicle.

No choice, who could ignore the horrifying noise created by the zombies.

"Go ahead, Little Li!"

Speaking concurrently, Luo Baochun used the curtains pre-installed inside the truck to cover.

After all, they were to wait in the vehicle for the zombies to completely enter the kiln factory, during this long period the only things keeping them safe were the added iron bars on the car and those black curtains.

Nervousness goes without saying, Li Zhong’s trembling hands even tried numerous times before correctly pressing the remote button.

This sufficiently demonstrated the zombies’ terrifying might.

But compared to Luo Baochun and Li Zhong, the atmosphere in the escort vehicle was more grave.

According to the pre-determined plan, Wang Zhongyu, Wei Dazhuang, and Li Guo had to devise a quick escape route within the kiln factory after luring the zombie tide near it.

This was an extremely risky maneuver, poorly executed, they’d be surrounded by zombies.

So once the outline of the kiln factory was spotted, Wang Zhongyu immediately urged the fifth group to sound the lure.

Upon hearing the overwhelming noise coming from inside the kiln factory, Wang Zhongyu’s tense heart finally settled down.

He reminded loudly: "Everyone hold tight."

Then stomping the accelerator hard, the escort vehicle, which had crept along, finally rushed forward like a runaway horse.

With the kiln factory’s noise taking over, Wang Zhongyu no longer needed to run alongside the zombies.

The commotion from the kiln factory had completely overshadowed his horn, so now all he needed was to drive into the kiln factory according to the plan and escape from the designated spot.

However, during this period, no one could help the second squad, everything depended on themselves.

Wang Zhongyu’s driving skills were beyond question; in the blink of an eye, he drove into the kiln factory.

As for the escape spot, they had been there before, so the roadmap was engraved early in Wang Zhongyu’s mind.

And the escort vehicle’s accelerated departure undoubtedly infuriated the zombies, watching their prey escape, how could their long-awaited taste buds endure?

Thus, the speed of the zombie tide’s movement unconsciously increased. The delta between humans and zombies began its intense showdown.

Luo Baochun could clearly feel the car’s vibration, the noise from collision and friction was like a myriad of small needles piercing their hearts incessantly.

Although knowing the zombies wouldn’t attack them, the unoccupied space still pricked their heartstrings.

"Screech!" With a perfect tailspin, Wang Zhongyu steadily halted the vehicle.

Once stabilized, he immediately shouted: "Get out, get out, hurry up and get out!"

No need for Wang Zhongyu’s reminder, Wei Dazhuang took the initiative to open the car door first.

Preparing to jump out, he thought of the wooden Li Guo behind him; immediately he slapped the other’s face coldly and asked sharply: "Want to die or want to live!?" (To be continued.
