While the survivor team was discussing the situation, the elderly zombies near the iron gate began to smash the door. The huge noise will soon attract the surrounding zombies.
"Hey, it's so noisy. Shut up!" Unable to stand the noise of the beasts, Wang raised his crossbow and fired an arrow at the gate.
Since the door was bound by iron chains, it would inevitably be squeezed out of a huge gap by the collision of zombies. In order to enjoy the delicious food of the three prey inside the door, these beasts scrambled to squeeze inward.
Wang Qiang's target was the old zombie with a deformed face at the front. Although his idea was good, the arrow he shot was...well, Wang Qiang's arrow finally hit the iron wall next to the gap. Door panels.
Just a "clang" sound was heard, and the arrow bounced to the ground after hitting the door panel.
In fact, Wang Qiang didn't expect this arrow to do anything. He was just annoyed by the noise from the howling beasts outside. However, it was obvious that his arrow did not achieve the expected purpose, but had the opposite effect, causing people to hear strange sounds. The noisy beasts crowded in even harder.
"Hey, let's go! Let's go in quickly, so as not to attract the attention of animals outside!"
Wang Qiang waved his big hands twice to signal Tang and Zhao to enter the room, but the other party did not take any action because of his anxiety.
On the contrary, after Tang Xiaoquan and Zhao Yunhai looked at each other, the expressions on their faces became solemn.
What is the most worrying thing for survivors in this apocalyptic world? I believe that survivors who have had painful experiences will definitely choose humans.
Yes, humans are not those bloodthirsty and cruel zombies. At least in the eyes of Tang Xiaoquan and the survivors, humans are more terrifying than zombies.
Because in their eyes, zombies are just a bunch of mutated beasts that can’t think and have strong physical strength after being infected by the virus. To deal with these brainless beasts, you only need to use a sharp weapon and smash their heads. End their lives.
But humans are different. This species that has ruled the earth for thousands of years has a developed mind.
They can think and use tools. In addition, what is even more terrifying is that under the baptism of the doomsday invasion, many human beings have distorted their souls. In order to survive, they can do many things that were unimaginable in the past. They are worse than animals. things.
Therefore, Lao Zhao and the others have reason to suspect that this room might be hiding such murderous survivors. If the inference is true, then if they enter rashly now, they are likely to fall into the opponent's trap, and they will easily be caught by the opponent. Treat like an intruder.
So, Lao Zhao stepped forward and whispered a few words in Wang Qiang's ear. He was patiently explaining the current situation to the latter.
After calming down Wang Qiang's mood, Old Zhao straightened out his wrinkled clothes, stepped forward, walked to the door, and then knocked on the door rhythmically, and greeted politely: "Hello, may I ask about the room?" Is there anyone here? We are survivors who have come from afar. It’s getting late and we want to stay overnight at your place. Is it convenient? We don’t mean any harm.”
Wang Qiang didn't take it seriously for Lao Zhao's groveling way of calling the door. He thought that the reason why they suffered in the past was because they were too soft-hearted in many things. Especially like now, when they were in contact with the other party for the first time, there was no need for them. Being so polite means you can act more domineering.
As the saying goes, it is not unreasonable for people to be bullied when they are kind. Excessive kindness will only be regarded as a breakthrough in weakness.
Old Zhao shouted for a long time that there was no movement in the house. He pressed his ear against the iron door and listened attentively. However, the noise of the zombies outside the door was so loud that he could not identify the movement inside the house at all.
"How is it?" Wang Qiang guessed from the expression on Lao Zhao's head when he looked back. He picked up the broken bricks again and gestured: "I'm just saying, what are you doing with those useless things? Why don't you just break the window and get in?" .”
Lao Zhao and Tang Xiaoquan smiled speechlessly as they met each other. Although they did not agree with Wang Qiang's approach, judging from the actual situation, they could only follow Wang Qiang's method.
The village is very poor, so all the protective measures are meaningless, because no thief would be stupid enough to come to this remote place to steal or rob. After all, can he earn back the fare and gas expenses when he came? is a problem.
Therefore, every house here does not have security windows, let alone anti-theft windows. Even an intact glass window is a luxury.
At least from what Lao Zhao and the others observed after running around, the shanty house they were in was fairly well-equipped.
Without saying a word, Wang Qiang picked up the brick and threw it at the window. The glass shattered, and the sound of the broken glass immediately caused a commotion among the zombies outside the door.
Lao Zhao and the others have long been accustomed to such a situation. Anyway, these old men couldn't do anything about the thick iron door, so the three of them focused all their experiences on the matter in front of them.
"Qiangzi, I'll go first and you will come back. Lao Zhao is big and it's inconvenient to get through the window. You'd better wait until we enter the room and open the door for you before entering." Tang Xiaoquan quickly made arrangements.
In response, Wang Qiang, who was worried about his brother's safety, pretended to be dissatisfied and asked: "I'm going, why are you going first? Quan Zi, you have the brains to admit it, but let me do this risky job."
Tang Xiaoquan knew that Wang Qiang was not deliberately making things difficult, but was deliberately trying to show off his strength, so he saw the other person's thoughts and explained with a smile: "You misunderstood, Qiangzi, I have no intention of going in and taking risks. I am going in first, just to let you help me keep an eye on the room." The situation here, if there is an emergency, I can count on your amazing shooting skills."
As expected, Tang Xiaoquan's words meant that Wang Qiang was extremely comfortable. He immediately nodded and patted his chest and said, "Of course, don't worry, you all know my archery skills!"
Seeing the brothers joking and singing together, Lao Zhao, who was watching from the sidelines, thought to himself: It's a shame that these two boys didn't become cross talk actors.
As for Tang Xiaoquan letting him enter the room last, Lao Zhao had no objection to this. He intuitively believed that there would not be much danger in this room, so as long as Tang and Wang could handle it, he would be spared from this cat. He said, "Okay, Quan Zi, I'll just be lazy and wait outside for you to open the door for me."
"Haha, no problem!" Tang Xiaoquan stopped talking nonsense, stood up and ducked into the window. After a moment, Wang Qiang followed closely.
As soon as the two entered the house, they were immediately hit by the strong smell of rotting corpses and had to cover their noses with their hands.
"I'll go! What the hell does this smell like? It smells so bad?" Wang Qiang's brows twisted into twists.
What is the taste? While Tang Xiaoquan was disgusted, he couldn't help but feel alert.
He felt that this smell was not unfamiliar, it was very much like that of rotten flesh, and that this smell could be emitted in this room... Could it be possible? He subconsciously clenched the hatchet in his hand, and at the same time motioned to Wang Qiang to restrain him. He made a loud noise, and stepped forward to remind in a low voice: "Shh, don't talk, be careful. I think this room is a bit weird."
Wang Qiang felt a chill run down his spine at what he said. He quickly raised the crossbow gun in his hand and looked straight ahead with vigilance. (To be continued.)
