Lu Yu's heart tightened and he immediately looked in Xiaoran's direction. What he saw made him take a breath.

In front of a bun shop across the road they were about to pass, five or six people were standing in a circle, stuffing something into their mouths.

It is not difficult to judge from their tattered clothes that these 'people' have turned into terrifying zombies.

However, due to the long distance, Lu Yu squinted his eyes and did not see clearly what the zombies were eating, so he cast a questioning look at Xiao Ran.

At this time, Xiao Ran was no longer his usual playful and cute self. Instead, he looked like a frightened rabbit, with only deep fear in his beautiful eyes.

"It, they are eating, eating meat! Eating arms, eating legs, eating intestines!"

Xiao Ran's voice was trembling. Although she had a rough understanding of how the world had changed after waking up from a coma, Lu Yu also explained to her that her parents had become cannibals for some unknown reason. monster.

But after all, there is a big gap between what Lu Yu said and what he actually saw.

It is impossible for a person to be able to calmly face a highly decomposed corpse just because he has read two forensic books, and the same is true for Xiaoran.

Although her intelligence has been greatly improved after being comatose, her mind is still that of a little girl after all, and she has never seen those bloody scenes.

However, after Lu Yu understood the situation on the other side, he curled his lips and began to think deeply.

The reason why he is so calm is naturally not because he is a violent and murderous person who is immune to this kind of scene, but because he has no empathy.

First of all, he didn't clearly see the zombies on the opposite side eating people; secondly, even if he knew, he wouldn't feel scared at all.

Because he will not be affected by the emotions of the people around him at all. As long as the zombie is not eating him, he can even sit on the pony with peace of mind, holding popcorn and watching the zombie's chewing movements up close.

"First we have to find a way to comfort the child. She seems to be very scared."

Lu Yu looked at Xiao Ran, who was shaking like chaff in front of him, and made a plan in his mind.

"Secondly, we have to find a way to cross this road without disturbing the group of zombies, and also be able to return safely."

"Shall I kill them with Xiao Ran's crossbow, and then I can fight them hand to hand? No! There are too many, five in total, and I can only fight against one at most."

Lu Yu thought of his weak body and was the first to reject this plan.

"Use your cell phone ringtone to lure them away, and then take the opportunity to sneak away? This method is good, but it is one-time. What if these zombies are blocked in the middle of the road when you come back?"

Soon, the second plan was rejected while Lu Yu was shaking his head.

"It would be great if these zombies could be locked up..."

Lu Yu murmured to himself and began to look around to see if there was anything or a place that could be used.

Soon, he focused his attention on the braised chicken restaurant not far from the bun shop.

He often went to that braised chicken shop before the disaster. When he didn't want to cook, he would always order a braised chicken and drink it with Coke. The taste was really amazing.

But now is not the time for chicken!

The door of the braised chicken shop is a common double-opening glass door, and the door is locked with an iron chain. It seems that the boss closed the shop before the disaster. The facilities in the shop are still very neat, and there is no such thing as being damaged. Mark of.

Thinking that he was still carrying a hydraulic clamp, a brilliant plan appeared in Lu Yu's mind.

"Don't be afraid, just wait for me where you are and don't move. I'll catch a few zombies and come back."

After perfunctorily comforting the frightened little Lolita, Lu Yu trotted across the road and quietly reached the door of the braised chicken shop.

Looking at this 'chicken shop' that was quite popular with him on weekdays, Lu Yu sighed slightly in his heart. He quickly took out the hydraulic clamp from his backpack and clicked against the iron chain at the door.

The hydraulic pliers easily cut through the iron chain at the door, making a slight sound at the same time. Fortunately, the zombies in front of the bun shop were all focused on their eating business and did not notice the movement on Lu Yu's side.

When Lu Yu saw that his plan was half successful, he couldn't help but feel happy. He took out his mobile phone in his pocket, set an alarm for one minute, and raised the volume to the maximum.

After putting his cell phone under the table in the braised chicken shop, Lu Yu quietly slipped out and waited quietly for the passage of time.

After a while, a familiar ringtone came from the store. With the blessing of the fake phone, "Good Luck Comes" at full volume was as eye-catching as fireworks in the night sky.

The moment the music started playing, the five zombies in front of the bun shop seemed to have heard the starting gun. They all stopped what they were doing, turned around and rushed towards the braised chicken shop.

The posture was like that of students who heard the dinner bell, pushing each other one by one, fearing that they would not be able to eat the chicken drumsticks if they arrived late.

Lu Yu, who was squatting at the foot of the wall, had a wicked smile on his face. After watching the last zombie stumble into the braised chicken shop, he stood up and closed the glass door, wrapped the cut chain back on the door, and also used iron wire. Reinforced several turns.

"Easy to do it!" Lu Yu clapped his hands, with a huge sense of accomplishment beyond words.

"This is human beings, this is wisdom! How can a mere zombie defeat me, Lu Yu!"

But not long after, the excited expression on Lu Yu's face froze.

It wasn't that the zombies in the store broke the chains and ran out, but that another zombie walked out of the original dilapidated bun shop.

"Holy shit, why is there a sixth one!" Lu Yu cursed instantly. At this time, the ringing in the braised chicken shop stopped abruptly because the set alarm time had passed.

The sixth zombie, who was attracted by the ringing, froze. Having lost its target, it happened to hear Lu Yu's foul language and slowly turned its head towards Lu Yu's position.

When Lu Yu saw this zombie for the first time, he noticed that it was different from other zombies. The eyes of the zombie in front of him were not white, but strangely scarlet.

And its neck and arms were covered with dense black scales.

Lu Yu secretly complained in his heart, just thinking that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, and the Thirty-six Strategies were the best strategy.

The weird zombie in front of him blinked at him, opened his mouth and let out a roar, moved his body, and pounced in the direction of him!

"Damn it, this guy can see!"

Lu Yu immediately ran back without hesitation. The zombies behind him were running and crawling closely behind Lu Yu, looking like they were about to knock Lu Yu to the ground in just a few steps.

At this time, Lu Yu was really panicked. He had no empathy, but now he was being hunted. The threat of death so close at hand made him feel unprecedented fear.

Is there any problem with melee combat? What single one is more than enough? When faced with a real zombie cull, those are all bullshit!

Even if there was only one zombie chasing behind him, the pressure would be overwhelming, leaving Lu Yu with no courage to wave the baseball bat in his hand to confront the zombie head-on.

In desperation, Lu Yu still had no guts and shouted out the words he least wanted to say.

"Xiaoran! Help!"

"Whoosh!"

Just as Lu Yu shouted for help, the sound of arrows piercing the air came from far to near.

But the expected "puff" sound did not appear. Xiao Ran's first crossbow arrow hit the zombie's neck, leaving only shallow white marks on its dark scales.

"Shoot in the eyes, shoot in the eyes!" Lu Yu yelled hurriedly, his feet still moving. His instinct told him that Xiao Ran's shot just now did not eliminate the threat, and this cheating zombie was still chasing closely behind him.

Xiao Ran, who was far away, saw that his first blow was missed, and a strange color flashed in his eyes. He suppressed the fear in his heart, took out another crossbow arrow from the quiver behind his back, and quickly filled it.

This crossbow arrow was made by Lu Yu overnight. The arrowhead was originally left by Lu Yu's father. Lu Yu just used chair legs to process some arrow bodies. Although the style was a bit rough, the power was definitely not limited.

These crossbow arrows, which are powerful enough to penetrate thin iron sheets, cannot penetrate the weird scales on this zombie!

But the critical situation did not allow her to think too much. After quickly winding the string, Xiao Ran aimed at the zombie's left eye.

For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to hit a moving object, let alone a target as small as an eye, which is an almost impossible task.

But for Xiao Ran, these are as easy as eating and drinking.

Because since she woke up from a coma, it wasn't just her intelligence that had improved.

In terms of body control, she has been able to achieve a level of precision that ordinary people cannot achieve. Just like now, her hands are completely able to make corresponding movements according to the thoughts in her mind, and she can shoot the target accurately.

This is why she is always on target!

"Whoosh"

Another crossbow arrow was shot from the crossbow with a sound of breaking through the air, flying towards the zombie's left eye.

"Pfft!"

A soft sound of an arrow penetrating flesh came from behind Lu Yu. He quickly turned around and was surprised to find that the zombie behind him had a crossbow arrow stuck in his left eye, and black bodily fluids continued to gush out from the wound.

And this weird zombie with scales seemed to have a sense of pain. It let out a strange cry and its pursuit suddenly slowed down.

Seeing that the enemy behind him was severely damaged, Lu Yu's originally timid heart gradually grew stronger. He boldly clenched the baseball bat in his hand, calculated the footsteps of the zombies, and seized the opportunity to strike with a "turning baton."

The sound of metal colliding with skulls and skulls cracking suddenly echoed on the empty road. The scale-armored zombie never dreamed that the prey it was chasing was screaming and screaming one second, and the next second he turned around and gave it a stick. .

Lu Yu's mouth was numb from the shock of this heavy blow, and he almost couldn't hold the bat in his hand.

But fortunately, the effect was also very satisfactory. The scale-armored zombie was directly knocked to the ground by this critical blow to the head. It looked like his skull was shattered. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Seeing the zombie being knocked down by him, Lu Yu naturally couldn't let go of the good opportunity in front of him. He went up with a hammer and stopped until he smashed the scale zombie's head to pieces.

Xiao Ran, who was in the distance, also trotted all the way and came to Lu Yu's side. Seeing the uncle in front of him trembling and trembling due to loss of strength, the previous fear was inexplicably swept away.

She knew that the uncle in front of her was actually very weak, but he would always take action bravely at critical moments without any hesitation. This gave her a sense of security.

"Am I very fierce?"

Lu Yu panted heavily and said something very timely that was embarrassing to the scenery.

"You are very fierce when you shout for help, Uncle Lu Yu." Xiao Ran stuck out his tongue, and his beautiful heterochromatic pupils narrowed into two crescents.

"Tch, if it were you, you might have peed your pants." Lu Yu secretly cursed in his heart, and did not argue with the little Loli. He lowered his head and looked at the corpse on the ground.

The other parts of the corpse were no different from ordinary zombies. The only eye-catching thing was the dark scales growing on the neck and arms.

Looking at the white marks scratched by arrows on the zombie's scales, Lu Yu frowned and asked for Xiao Ran's crossbow.

"Whoosh!" Another crossbow arrow was fired, but this time it was shot close to the corpse. However, shooting at such a close range only caused the arrow to sink into the scale armor, which shows the amazing protective effect of the scale armor.

Lu Yu was horrified. If these zombies had such scales, wouldn't they be invulnerable to swords? The zombies in the plot of this movie are not developed in such a way...
