City N, near the Blue Moon Garden Community, which has been reduced to ruins.
It was not a spacious printing shop. Lu Yu kept waving the broom handle in his hand, feeling a little unsatisfied.
"This weapon is not very good...it feels too fragile..."
The handle of this broom is made of wood. Because the diameter is too thin, its hardness can be imagined. It can only be used as a spear weapon for stabbing rather than a stick weapon for wielding.
Because when a stick made of this kind of material hits a zombie, the stick may break before the zombie suffers any substantial damage.
The pole on the dustpan is made of aluminum alloy, but it is only a thin layer of aluminum alloy iron sheet and cannot be used as a swinging strike weapon.
"It will be useless after just a few hits... I still need to find a strong weapon..."
It's not that Lu Yu has not considered the danger of the underground garage. If nothing else, the residential buildings in the Blue Moon Garden Community have collapsed. It is assumed that most of the zombies wandering in the buildings were crushed under the rubble and lost their lives. mobility, there will still be a small number of 'survivors' left on the ground.
If you want to enter the underground garage, you must first deal with the survivors left on the ground.
The safest way to deal with zombies is to kill them with headshots.
But now Lu Yu has nothing else that can cause harm to the zombies except two broomsticks.
"Um?"
Just when Lu Yu had a headache, Zhang Tiehua, who had been sitting silently on the ground, suddenly stood up and walked towards the printing shop.
His target was a machine covered with white cloth placed in the center of the room. From the appearance, it looked like a laser printer.
"This kind of laser printer seems to be specially used to print engineering blueprints..."
Seeing Zhang Tiehua lift the white cloth covering the machine, Lu Yu's face became more confused.
Before the disaster, his job was to draw engineering drawings. The printer was an indispensable working partner for Lu Yu, so he naturally understood it very well.
If this printer was still in order, it could indeed be regarded as a valuable piece of equipment. But now that order has collapsed and there is no power supply, this thing is just a pile of scrap metal, not as valuable as half a bar of chocolate. .
"Wait...scrap!"
Lu Yu seemed to have thought of something. He stepped forward and helped Zhang Tiehua lift the cover of the printer.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, light blue paper appeared in front of their eyes.
"Great, it's really a rolling paper!"
Lu Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and secretly shouted in his heart.
This laser printer is equipped with roll paper, which means there must be rollers used to support paper transportation.
In order for the paper to be flat and wrinkle-free during the printing process, the rollers of the machine must be made of solid metal and are not light in weight.
And the most important thing is that it is very strong!
Sure enough, after Lu Yu's disassembly, a metal roller about 1.2 meters long was removed from the machine and hammered on the ground, making a dull sound.
"So strong..."
Lu Yu was secretly speechless. Although the roller was made of metal as he thought, there was another problem that hurt Lu Yu's balls.
This thing is a bit heavy.
Although Lu Yu was able to lift the weapon and wave it twice.
But it only took two swings. After two swings, he didn't have the strength to swing a third time.
As if unwilling to do so, Lu Yu removed all the removable parts from the roller as much as possible, and finally only a bare metal pole remained.
But even so, it can only be waved a few times. The roller is solid and the weight is still there, so it cannot be used as an attack at all.
striking weapon.
"What a shame, it would have been lighter."
Although he was reluctant to give up, Lu Yu came to the conclusion after three seconds that this metal roller was not suitable for him.
"Is this stick too heavy?"
Zhang Tiehua, who had been observing from the sidelines, saw Lu Yu sigh and put the roller aside, and immediately asked.
"Yes, it's too heavy for me... Although it can be swung a few times, it's definitely not good as a weapon."
Lu Yu knew very well in his heart that if he carried this roller out of the printing shop bravely, he could indeed use it to stop a few zombies, but what about after that? Swinging a roller that is too heavy will cause his hands to lose strength. In an environment full of zombies, this approach is no different from committing suicide.
"Can you let me try?"
Staring at the long stick leaning on the table, Zhang Tiehua asked tentatively.
"Um? Okay, let me try it for you..."
Looking at Zhang Tiehua's expectant face, Lu Yu also didn't expect that a rough-looking and foul-mouthed northeastern man could be so polite. According to his stereotype, aren't these rough guys living in the north all green forest characters...
But what he actually didn't know was that the reason Zhang Tiehua was polite was not because he was a high-quality person himself, but because of what Xiaoran had said intentionally before.
"In the fight against zombies, Uncle Lu Yu dares to be the first, but no one dares to be the second."
Of course, Lu Yu knew that there was more than a little exaggeration in Xiao Ran's words, but the two of them were not alone at that time. Faced with Xiao Loli's "flattery", Lu Yu could only go along with the flow and try not to destroy his superior demeanor.
But what Lu Yu didn't know was that it was precisely because he didn't refute the little Lolita's flattery that Zhang Tiehua was in awe of him.
And his behavior of using printing shop ink to drive away zombies at the door further confirmed the thoughts of this northeastern man.
That's why Zhang Tiehua was so polite to Lu Yu.
The rollers of the printer were easily lifted up. Zhang Tiehua took two steps back, faced the deserted corner, and tried to wave twice.
The solid roller swung left and right in the dim printing room, making a low whining sound.
"Let me go, is this Huazi so fierce?"
Lu Yu, who was standing behind Zhang Tiehua, was also shocked when he saw this.
You must know that the roller of this printer is solid and weighs at least forty or fifty kilograms, but Zhang Tiehua can keep waving it. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be very comfortable. If it weren't for the small space in the printing shop, he can't use it. Yes, Zhang Tiehua may have to show a few people a dog-beating stick technique on the spot.
"Hehe, this thing is good, it's easy to use, and it feels powerful when you swing it..."
The printer roller was knocked to the ground by Zhang Tiehua, making a slight collision sound.
It seems that this reckless man has not forgotten that zombies rely on sound to identify the location of their prey, so he handles it gently.
"Since you feel comfortable using this thing, I'll give it to you. I'm looking for something else."
Although he felt a little regretful, Lu Yu soon felt relieved.
After all, this roller is a burden to him, and it is impossible for Xiao Ran to use it. It is better to give it to Zhang Tiehua.
In any case, he is still an ally with the other party. If the other party's safety is guaranteed, his own danger will be reduced accordingly.
"Brother Hua, you are so brave and unparalleled..."
Yu Libo, who was huddled in the corner, saw the roller falling into Zhang Tiehua's hands. He immediately rushed forward like a parrot asking for credit, shouting "Brother Hua, Brother Hua, Brother Hua" in his mouth, and even flattered him as if no one was watching. .
"Humph, I still have some strength. I remember back then, in order to save money to give gifts to Yaoyao, I even went to the construction site to move bricks..."
Zhang Tie Huaqing
He laughed a few times and seemed very proud of his own strength, but the words in his mouth brought back the sad things in the past. Only halfway through speaking, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, then cloudy to gloomy, and he suddenly became silent.
"Other than tape, paper, and a few plastic rulers, there is nothing else we can use in the store..."
Xiao Ran, who had been rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the corner, sighed, raised his pretty face, and turned around to say.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, this is a print shop, not an arsenal. Let's wrap the paper with tape to protect those vulnerable positions, and then we'll see if the opportunity comes and we'll go straight away..."
After looking around the store, Lu Yu felt that he couldn't find any useful weapons in the print shop, so he simply retreated to the next best thing and focused on defense.
Anyway, as long as you don't get entangled in the secondary infected bodies on the street and move faster with your feet, there shouldn't be any problem.
By protecting the weak parts of the body to prevent being scratched or bitten by zombies, the group of them can successfully escape.
"Tape and paper? Wrap it around your body? What use can such a fragile thing do? You know those zombies can even scratch and break wooden door panels. Paper and tape can't hold it at all..."
Lu Yu and Xiao Ran didn't deliberately lower their voices during the conversation, so Yu Libo and Zhang Tiehua on the side naturally heard it clearly.
"Can paper and tape really resist zombie scratches?"
Zhang Tiehua frowned, obviously not believing in Lu Yu's plan.
"Right now, we only have enough paper and tape tubes. Try to wrap them twice as much as possible. Stack the papers and arrange them closely on your body. Although zombies can easily scratch the surface, if you want to use one claw to remove a thick stack of paper, It’s still a bit difficult to catch them all.”
Lu Yu explained softly, stretching his hands directly to the nearest desktop, which had a large amount of unprinted paper.
Twisting his fingers one by one, Lu Yu did not choose thick cardboard paper, but chose the thinnest white paper.
"Let me arm you first."
Looking down at the little Lolita in front of him, Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
Needless to say, ever since Lu Yu promised Xiao Ran to take her to find her grandparents, this quirky little loli has been regarded as his sister by the young man.
And everything that happened during this period also proved Lu Yu's care for Xiaoran.
Once there is any measure to ensure the survival rate, Lu Yu will immediately think of little Loli.
It's not that Lu Yu has any special feelings for little Loli. The reason why he is like this is just because he is a person who values commitment very much.
Lu Yu's father once mentioned to him more than once when he was young that people don't have to make promises, but if you make a promise, you must try your best to fulfill it. Otherwise, if you don't keep your word, what's the difference between you and animals.
Probably because he listened to what his father said, Lu Yu had never made a promise as easily as others since he was a child.
Even if there is, it is just perfunctory and duplicitous.
For example, the teacher promised that he would study hard, and the boss promised not to take advantage of others at work...
The promise to Xiaoran was out of Lu Yu's sincerity.
Although he couldn't explain why he agreed in a hurry at that time, it was probably because the little Loli was crying so miserably that he was worried that the other party would accidentally cry to death on the spot...
"Come on, Uncle Lu Yu, make it look nicer for me!"
The black and blue pupils reflected a little bit of light in the dim light, and curved into two beautiful crescents.
The childish voice brought back Lu Yu's wandering thoughts, like a naughty boy on the ground, playfully pulling a kite floating in the sky.
"Okay, I promise to make it into a big rice dumpling for you!"
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth slightly raised, he covered the paper with his right hand, and used his left hand with his teeth to pull open a brand new roll of transparent tape with a sizzling sound...
