Before leaving, Shen Shian went to the first floor of the library.
After he returned, the two men immediately ushered in. “How is it? Is she going to go with us?”
Shen Shian shook his head. “Mrs. Dong decided to stay and wait for rescue.”
This decision was reasonable. Her son, Lele, had a fever, and he was so weak that he couldn’t stand still. Rather than taking him out to risk death, it was obvious that staying in a library that was secure was the right choice. Moreover, she now has abilities, and after showing the tremendous power that could instantly burn people to ash, no one would dare to provoke her for a long time, and she might be able to compete with Zhang Ze for the leader position in the future.
Shen Shian left her a lot of supplies. He gave her food, as well as medicine he took with him when he left home, especially antipyretics and antibiotics. To do a good deed accounted for a small part of the reason, and the main reason was that she needed help.
Rich man Miao and Li Cheng glanced at each other and sighed with relief.
Ms. Dong’s super power was really powerful. If it was used to fight zombies, it would definitely be a great help. But she also had a son who couldn’t even walk. If she really wanted to leave with them, he might be a drag.
And don’t forget, her son was infected with the flu virus. They not only have to protect against the zombies, but also have to guard against him suddenly turning into a zombie.
Say they are selfish, but after spending so long together, they actually haven’t said a few words to each other. Even the name Mrs. Dong was unknown. Everyone only has one life, why should they risk their lives? It’s the same for her, why should she follow them to also risk her and her son’s life? It was the best decision for both parties
The last meal they eat before leaving must be rich, and one that will supplement their physical strength, “Even if you die, you will die with a full belly!.” Rich man Miao put all the food he had scooped up to his bowl and laughed.
“No one will die.” Shen Shian emptied his backpack. Duck legs, sausages, bread, and noodles were placed on the table. “Hurry up and eat.”
Li Cheng and rich man Miao saw that his eyes were serious and they started to eat faster. In the hearty chewing sound, the rich aroma of food floated all over the room, making the survivors living on the same floor kept swallowing saliva.
Knowing that the last meal was so good, it didn’t seem unacceptable to follow them out and die.
After a little rest, they were ready to go. Life or death, they would do it till the end.
The four, including Shen Xun, were completely wrapped from the soles of their feet to their face with all kinds of masks, gloves, and long-sleeved coats.They were determined not to expose any places that could be not exposed. Rich man Miao had not worn the trousers and leather shoes when he entered the library that day. The quality of the set was not good. It was stretched out after running the stairs for a few days, and it was not convenient to move. Now he was wearing a sports and leisure shirt that was picked up from the zombie and washed.
Looking out of the south-facing window on the second floor of the library, about 300 meters away was the wreckage of the plane, densely packed with armies of zombies rushing into the plan. The hoarse howling gathered, and the sight was simply the most terrible nightmare that humans could imagine.
On the table next to the window were twelve fully-charged mobile phones and two condoms filled with fresh blood. As for how to bring these things to the wreckage, so as to attract the zombies in the north of the library,
“Holy sh*t.” Rich man Miao looked at the objects in Shen Shian’s arms and exclaimed, “You found this thing.”
Shen Shian put the sweeping robot on the table. “I found it under the workbench in the staff room when collecting materials. Fortunately there is electricity.”
What he said was naturally false. This sweeping robot was the one brought out from home, because it was too large, he could not take it directly out of his backpack. Pushing it off as a thing a library employee found was the most suitable way. The people who searched for supplies only focused on food. Who could remember whether there was really such a thing under the work table?
Shen Xun felt wronged when he wanted to sacrifice his mount. Shen Shian could only persuade patiently. Didn’t I get you two toy cars from the mall? They are much more comfortable to ride than robots.”
“Then you can’t send things with toy cars.”
“Toy cars are not smart, there is no way to switch to a fixed-direction travel mode, and the remote control can’t control that distance.” Not to mention, he could barely explain how he could get a toy car out of the library.
After listening to the child reciting a lot of names from the recipe book, they finally reached a friendly cooperation.
Shen Shian adjusted the time of the twelve mobile phones to the same time, and set the same alarm clock. The alarm clock had the same ringtone. It was a song in one of the mobile phones. It would be transmitted to the other mobile phones via Bluetooth. The volume was adjusted to the maximum to achieve the best result.
Then he used tape to fix the mobile phones and the blood-filled condoms to place on the top of the robot. Finally, a rope was wrapped around the robot without knots. The head and tail were held in the hands. After the robot reached its place, he could just loosen one end and take back the entire rope.
Li Cheng and rich man Miao opened the window, and the thick smell of corpses rushed to their face. Even if they put on a mask in advance, everyone was stunned. Shen Xun’s response was particularly strong, placing his head inside Shen Shian’s jacket, he was reluctant to come out.
Shen Shian, whose five senses were greatly enhanced after the exercises, was no better than him. His eyebrows were furrowed and he felt uncomfortable. He slowly turned on the robot and lowered the rope from the window on the second floor.
After about a minute, the robot landed smoothly.
As expected, the zombies had no interest in anything other than humans, even if it had wheels on it.
The sweeping robot was set to go forward. Although it stopped and stopped because of the zombies being too dense, it kept moving towards the south.
The window was closed again, and Shen Xun was hugged by Shen Shian, looking at the little figure that was drifting away in the corpse sea, his eyes were showing You’re gone, my friend, I will always remember you.
Shen Shian stared out of the window tightly, and did not dare to relax for a moment. He had already made a plan if the worst would happen. If the robot stopped halfway, or it stopped on its own, or was knocked over by zombies, or if the condoms burst in advance and blood bleeds out, and would attract the zombies. Although he wasn’t sure, with his ability, the probability of bringing the child and Li Cheng with rich man Miao to the bridge will be at least 70%.
None of the expected accidents happened. The robot ran to the collapsed building next to the passenger plane, and finally stopped between bricks and stones.
After about twenty minutes, the alarm sounded.
“Unity is strength
Unity is strength
This power is iron
This force is steel.” {n1}
Note1: A revolutionary slogan and famous song in 1943
A total of twelve ‘unity is strength’ sounded at the same time with the maximum volume of the mobile phone amplifier. It was deafening, the sound shot straight into the sky, with no control at all.
Rich man Miao ran a circle to the north window, and when he came back, he couldn’t close his mouth with a smile, “They moved, the zombies moved!”
The movement of the zombies after the sound was only a subconscious search for a sound source, stiff and slow, then wait until the first blood-filled condom was trampled. When the thick bloody gas mixed with the smell of spring water spread with the wind, the zombie army suddenly went to the robot’s position like a sudden press of some kind of button.
Li Cheng and rich man Miao ran back and forth between the north and south windows, and each time they ran, the joy on their faces increased by one point. Not only them, more and more survivors gathered to watch, until they found that the army of zombies around the library was like it was put into a sieve, and as the bamboo sieve tilted quickly to the south, the zombies in the north became lesser and lesser. They firmly believe that the thought of Shen Shian and others leaving the library was definitely a death, but for the first time, it was shaken.
Nearly half an hour later, Shen Shian retracted his eyes from the window, gave a thorn stick each to the two people. “It’s time.”
Outside the north window on the second floor of the library, the rope ladder was already tied. Shen Shian placed the child into his backpack to ensure that the child would not fall off his back.
Except for Ms. Dong and her son on the first floor, most survivors came around. When he entered the library that day, he helped a girl who was now close to Shen Shian. Like everyone else, there was fear and hesitation in their looks, and a few hoped that he wouldn’t leave. The girl asked. “Mr. Shen, if you can really leave well, and you meet the rescue team, can you please tell them there are still many people here?”
Shen Shian looked at her and nodded.
A tear erupted in the girl’s eyes. “I wish you a safe journey.”
Shen Shian climbed down the rope ladder first, and quickly cleared away zombies wandering around without attracting any.
Li Cheng and rich man Miao followed him as fast as possible, holding a thornstick in their hands and defending each other back to back.
“Remember the main points of our training in advance,” Shen Shian lowered his voice.
“Keep aiming, know when to retreat, beware of evolved zombies, run as fast as you can.” The two answered quickly.
The escape process went more smoothly than expected. Most of the zombies on the north were taken away, and the rest were scattered. The trio cooperated like an awl, and it was easy to tear open a passage.
The only troublesome thing was the evolved zombies. Although Shen Shian had already reminded them, the flexibility and running speed of this type of zombies were far beyond their expectations.
“F*ck!” Rich man Miao scolded. “This zombie is just like a normal person!”
Shen Shian trampled on a zombie with almost all his face rotten, and the sound of the bones cracked under the boots was clearly audible. The torn body flew up because of the huge impact, and the brain burst like a watermelon when it landed. He then inserted the thornstick into the head of an evolved zombie fighting with the rich man Miao.
Shen Shian was convinced that the zombie was dead. But there was a slight movement at the end of the stick, and he immediately pulled out the thornstick.
Shen Xun was in the backpack pressing his nose and mouth tightly. With choked breathing, he endured the rotten smell and opened the backpack. “An An, what’s wrong?”
Shen Shian shook his head, “It’s all right, it seems as if something has been poked.” He faced the two and said, “Let’s go.”
The two evacuated immediately and rushed forward along the passage opened by Shen Shian. The three were about to rush to the center of the North Square, getting closer and closer to the road with fewer zombies, when a sudden loud noise came from behind them.
