The speed at which the woman lost control was far beyond Tang Xiaoquan's imagination. Before he even had time to speak, the woman had already broken out of the defensive circle and started running desperately.
The zombie dogs scattered in all directions, and beneath their slowly crawling bodies, a pair of front paws grabbed the ground powerfully.
Stimulated and attracted by the woman's scream, the corpse dogs did not head towards the same location stupidly this time. Instead, they searched for their targets and waited for the opportunity.
Looking at the formation of corpse dogs, sweat dripped down Tang Xiaoquan's forehead like a waterfall, and a trace of powerless despair surged in his heart.
There is no doubt that if just now we could rely on a circular defensive offensive to block the Corpse Dogs, then now...it really complies with the old saying "the mind is full but the strength is too much".
"Old Zhao, let's withdraw!" The cold words were devoid of any emotion, although Tang Xiaoquan also knew that if he left at this juncture, it would be equivalent to abandoning the women.
After all, without their obstruction, the zombie dogs can march in without any scruples, and by then the women will be no different than lambs to be slaughtered.
But even so, Tang Xiaoquan had no intention of rescuing him.
There are three reasons:
First, in the final analysis, these women have nothing to do with him, and he has no reason or obligation to take risks for them.
Second, before the operation, we had repeatedly emphasized to the women the correct response measures when facing an enemy. But it's a pity that they didn't even achieve half of it. So Tang Xiaoquan couldn't think of any use in rescuing these people.
Third, the attack power of the zombie dogs is too terrifying. If the so-called group rescue is implemented now, it will only end in the tragedy of being defeated by the zombie dogs one by one.
Therefore, to sum up, for the sake of safety, Tang Xiaoquan felt that the safest way to evacuate at the moment was to stay in a group. Then, with the help of a stable formation and the protection of anti-corps shields, the best strategy is to retreat in an echelon.
It's just that although his idea is good, the implementation is...
The attack of the corpse dogs came without any warning. They didn't even communicate with each other by "a few words", and just ran away like conjoined twins.
I have to say that these beasts were somewhat smart. They did not attack the seven-man group of men who had a strong defense line. Instead, they bypassed the circular defense circle and went straight to attack the women who were running desperately behind them.
You can imagine that when the women heard the sound of swaying rice ears approaching behind them, those who were timid were paralyzed to the ground by fright. For a moment, their desperate wailing was like the evening bell of a funeral shaking the sky and the earth. When a family member dies, they may not be able to cry so miserably.
A wolf enters a sheep's mouth. This was the first reaction of the seven men. Not to mention the women, even close bystanders like them were shocked by the scene of the fierce dog chasing people.
"Ah!" Following a shrill howl, a handful of brilliant blood splashed into the air, and the cry that was like thunder just now fell silent.
A woman just stared helplessly at the corpse dog with its mouth full of blood, and a pair of wrinkled hands tightly tied around her neck.
She half-opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but her throat, which had most of its flesh torn off, could only make a few futile "squeaking" sounds, and could no longer say anything else.
The woman's pain did not last long, and soon a sharp arrow was inserted directly into the top of her head.
Immediately, her eyes dropped and she fell straight to the ground.
This woman was undoubtedly lucky. Because of Hu Xiaodong's intervention, she not only avoided the torture of being bitten by a cadaver dog, but also retained her last dignity as a human being.
Just to save her soul, Hu Xiaodong consumed all the remaining carbon arrows in his hand.
A drop of sweat slid down his cheek, splashed on the roof of the car, and scattered everywhere.
At this moment, Hu Xiaodong's state of mind was as chaotic and disorderly as this falling drop of sweat. He was at the highest point and had a panoramic view of everything in the field.
It was so tragic and thrilling. He wanted to use the compound bow in his hand to help the woman below, but the exhaustion of arrows made him unable to do so even if he wanted to.
He decisively pulled out the machete from his back, and the cold blade shone with cold light under the reflection of the sun. Hu Xiaodong jumped on the roof of the car, and with the knife in hand, he rushed into the field and joined the battle.
But before he could take a step, the young man's shout suddenly came from not far away: "Brother Hu! Start the car quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhao, who had been in a state of chaos, opened his eyes wide as if he had realized something. He subconsciously looked to both sides. When he saw the helpless faces of the women running away, he didn't know where the courage came from. He patted Tang Xiaoquan beside him on the shoulder resolutely, and after saying "I'll start the car too," he rushed back without hesitation.
Lao Zhao's departure was like a catalyst, making the men who were still hugging each other feel as if something was stirring in their hearts.
Although most of them were scared and fearful, the woman's wailing and crying were like cries of pain, constantly lingering in their minds.
What am I doing? Am I still a man? How could I just watch these women being hunted by beasts?
Self-blame and conscience begin to intertwine with fear and horror. This is not just a person's inner activity, it is also the process of self-redemption of a person's heart.
In this smokeless battle, some people have defeated themselves, while others have remained the same.
After a short period of recovery, Wang Qiang's sore and numb arm gradually regained consciousness. As the only person who had experienced a direct confrontation with zombies and successfully killed them, he snatched the contradiction from Tang Xiaoquan's hands, and then shouted to the sky: : "What the hell are we doing! Help people!"
After that, Wang Qiang didn't care about anything else and rushed towards the corpse dog in front of him that was eating the woman's corpse. At the same time, he didn't forget to curse: "These beasts are not immortal! Just use the shield to stop them. After the attack, just hit them on the head and say hello!"
While speaking, Wang Qiang had already rushed to the corpse dog's side.
Perhaps the delicious taste of human flesh was so tempting that the corpse dogs, who were engrossed in enjoying the feast, did not even notice the danger coming behind them.
Seeing the miserable state of the woman being dismembered and bitten into a pulp, the anger in Wang Qiang's heart kept rising.
There is no doubt that Wang Qiang does not know the woman in his eyes. He has even seen her face once, but this does not prevent him from expressing sympathy for the woman's pity.
A living person was eaten alive by a beast. This inhumane fact had reached the limit of what Wang Qiang could tolerate.
Just as the saying goes, "You can't bear it anymore, you don't need to bear it anymore." Wang Qiang raised his eyebrows and raised the spear in his hand without saying a word...
