Lao Xu's hesitation in rescuing was interpreted as fear in Derek's eyes.
Since Lao Xu's training uniform had long been damaged, Derek did not know his identity as a soldier.
In his opinion, although the other party is powerful, it is obviously not good for him to climb up or down.
After all, this technique cannot be learned by brute force. It contains skills that you cannot learn in three to five years.
What's more, it's still newcomers like Lao Xu who have never played rock climbing parkour.
In this regard, Derek couldn't help but worry about the "boldness" of the two.
Of course, this does not mean that Derek really cares about Xu Renjie and Lei Tong's life and death. He is just afraid that if these two people fall while climbing and cause a zombie riot in the park, how will he go out to look for supplies in the future? How to conduct transactions with students from "Foot Basin Country"?
Thinking of this, Derek blurted out almost subconsciously: "Old Xu, climbing this building is no small matter. I know you are strong and skilled, but climbing this thing is not as easy as it looks. If you are not careful..."
Raising his hand, Xu Renjie interrupted Derek's words, and then he patted the young man on the shoulder: "You don't need to worry about our affairs. Just do what you should do. By the way, I told you before Do you still remember?"
"Huh?" He was slightly startled. Old Xu's sudden change made Derek unable to react.
"It's just an excuse to meet with the "Foot Basin Country" later." Xu Renjie's eyes narrowed, obviously displeased with Derek's stupidity.
"Oh, that, remember, remember!"
Derek responded quickly. Of course he remembered the excuses Xu Renjie and Tang Xiaoquan gave them repeatedly when he came.
You must know that it is the thing that saves his life. He does not want to be punished by the students of the "Foot Basin Country" for taking the survivors back to school without their permission because of his nonsense.
Hearing the young man's affirmative reply, Lao Xu nodded with satisfaction.
"You go up first. If you encounter a student from the "Foot Basin Country" when you go up, be smart and appease him. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
"Yeah. Action!"
Following Lao Xu's order, Derek began to climb up the pipe.
Lao Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man's signs of movement. Although the other person's climbing speed was not very fast, his technique was also a bit rough. But judging from Lao Xu's experience, the opponent who can reach this level at such a young age is definitely a good prospect.
But now was obviously not the time to praise him. In order to prevent Derek from going up to the room and escaping, Xu Renjie followed closely behind.
He ran up like a monkey, and within a short time he was behind Derek.
Derek could clearly hear the movement beneath him. But due to his movements, he was unable to look down and investigate.
After climbing to the left and reaching an external air-conditioning rack, Derek finally had a chance to take a clear look at the face of the person following him.
Without Derek's obstruction, Lao Xu went straight up. He did not use the air conditioning rack and window sill to move alternately like Derek did.
He directly followed the pipe all the way to the top, then followed the tiny gap between the teeth protruding from the wall, and relied on the strength of his fingers to move little by little towards the target window.
When Xu Renjie successfully settled on the air-conditioning cabinet under the target window, Derek, who was still underneath, was completely stunned.
Is that human being? As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Although Derek does not dare to claim to be an expert, he has been immersed in the field of rock climbing and parkour for more than three years. Therefore, I am very clear about the route Lao Xu Shicai took.
What does it mean to not take the ordinary path? That's what Lao Xu did.
First of all, climbing the drainage pipe is a process that tests your skills and endurance.
The reason why Derek climbed to the second floor and moved forward alternately with the air conditioner rack and window sill was because he was not physically strong enough to complete the 10-story climb.
Secondly, the wall cracks move vertically, which is a test of strength and determination.
You must know that there is nothing under your feet and the danger involved in moving with just 10 fingers... To be honest, it is no different from committing suicide.
At least in the circles Derek comes into contact with, few people do this kind of thing whether it's parkour or rock climbing.
Especially after climbing nearly 10 floors of pipes. The relay is carried out.
How fierce this man must be! Derek even felt that the man on top was several times stronger than the rock climbing school coach.
Seeing Derek standing dumbly below and looking at him, Xu Renjie couldn't help but frown.
This kid can't be too weak to climb!
Due to environmental responsibility, Lao Xu could not speak out to urge. He raised his hand and waved at Derek, telling him to hurry up.
After all, they are in the territory of zombies. Although the zombies' eyesight has been greatly reduced by the virus. But that doesn't mean they're blind.
Furthermore, after half a year of adaptation, various evolutionary mutant zombies emerged in endlessly. Who can guarantee that there are no beasts with good eyesight appearing nowadays?
Being waved back to reality by Lao Xu's palm, Derek shook his head in a daze, then moved his arms again and began the difficult climb.
It took 8 minutes, and Derek, who had a bumpy journey, finally completed all the paths at the moment of exhaustion.
He leaned against the wall and gasped for air. Just as he was resting, the tall and strong figure of Lei Tong appeared in front of him.
"How about it? Can it be done?"
Derek glanced at Xu Renjie and Lei Tong. He really wondered what they had grown up on.
He believed that his physical fitness was pretty good among his peers, but in front of Xu and Lei, he felt like a child.
This huge gap made Derek a little depressed. He took a few quick breaths and then responded: "It can be done, no problem!"
"Yeah!" Xu Renjie quite appreciated the young man's decisiveness in "extreme challenge".
Apart from other things, at least along the way, Lao Xu still noticed the perseverance and fearlessness of the young man in front of him.
It's a pity that his position is unclear, otherwise Lao Xu would really like to have him under his command.
Gently opening the aluminum alloy sliding window, under Lao Xu's gentle and slow movements, the aluminum alloy sliding window track did not make too much noise.
That's all, Lao Xu motioned for Derek to enter.
Derek charged up and leaped in easily.
Immediately after Lao Xu, Lei Tongjing followed.
After finishing it, Lao Xu closed the aluminum sliding window tightly again and locked the latch.
"Okay! Let's go!"
"Well, follow me closely!" Derek walked at the front. According to what the young man said before, this school is composed of two teaching buildings.
There is an open-air corridor connecting the buildings. Lao Xu and others are currently located on the east side of the teaching building, while the area where the survivors are staying is on the west side of the teaching building.
In other words, Lao Xu and others had to travel a long distance to block the target location.
However, this short distance is not absolutely safe. According to Derek, there are still zombies wandering along the way. (To be continued.)
