When the zombies move, the first one to break out of the encirclement is the "leaper". This kind of beast has an innate physical advantage. Even though the zombies are densely surrounded, they can still jump out of the encirclement with the help of their superior bounce, and then track towards the source of the sound.
This is not what the survivors want to see. After all, the number of "leapers" is still a small number in the entire zombie army.
What the rescue team really needs to attract and deal with is the densely packed "walkers".
And these beasts with a huge base move slowly, stagger, and may fall down if they are not careful.
Therefore, if the "leaper" arrives at the target location first and discovers that the sound source equipment has been damaged, it will be very detrimental to the entire operation.
It is precisely because of this that at the beginning of the operation, Tang Xiaoquan listed the "leaper" as one of the variables in the operation.
As the "leapers" broke through the encirclement, a group of "runners" wandering around the outside also came out.
As soon as these beasts, known for their speed, broke away from the team, they immediately ran at full speed towards the source of the sound.
Looking at the rapidly charging "runner", Tang Xiaoquan was very glad that he had blocked Hua Biao's reckless rescue idea.
Otherwise, even if all the residents were on board, it would be difficult to block the charge of these bastards.
After a short while, the "leaper" leading the way rushed into Kanghui Building first.
"Hey, Xiao Tang, how is the situation on the street now?" Hu Xiaodong's question came from the microphone. At this time, he was deep in the van at the bottom of the building and had no way of knowing the situation on the road.
Duan Chengwu grabbed the handstand and immediately replied: "The zombies have started to move, and the sound source has a good effect on attracting zombies."
"Well, that's good. Contact Lao Xu and ask them how the situation is in the building."
"clear!"
For the rescue to be successful, it is obviously not enough to simply lure away the zombies from the road. The beasts in the building must leave together, so that Lao Xu and Lei Tong can have a chance to escape.
After receiving the order, Duan Chengwu quickly wrote a text message, although this method of text message communication was too time-consuming. However, due to the noise from the mobile phone and the siege situation at Lao Xu's side, for the sake of safety, the two parties agreed that it would be more appropriate to use the silent method of contact.
Soon, Duan Chengwu received Lao Xu's reply.
"How is it? What did Lao Xu say?" Wang Qiang looked solemn. asked in a deep voice.
"Lao Xu said judging from the movement outside, the zombies should have started to move."
"Okay! That's great!" After hearing Duan Chengwu's reply, Wang Qiang smiled happily.
But compared to Wang Qiang's joy, Tang Xiaoquan was much calmer.
He had been holding his binoculars and paying close attention to the movements of Kanghui Building.
Tang Xiaoquan knows. The action has just begun now, and it is far from the time to be happy and relieved.
"Don't be nervous when you go out later. Follow your brother Lei. Haven't you always been thinking about your father? I'm telling you now, your father is waiting for you outside." He never told the boy that his father was still alive. The reason why Lao Xu did this was mainly because he didn't want to give the young man too much hope, lest he take drastic actions.
However, now, it is time to break through. The young man must be given confidence, so the news of his father's survival is undoubtedly the biggest booster.
Sure enough, after listening to Lao Xu's words, the young man appeared dazed for a moment, and then he gestured with his arms "Uh-huh, uh-huh, ah-huh," and Xu Renjie, who couldn't understand the meaning, asked Lei Tong to bring a pen and paper, and handed it to the young man's hand: "Yes. If you want to ask anything, if you have anything to say, write it here.”
Without hesitation, the young man grabbed the pen and paper handed over by Lao Xu, and drew out a line of large characters: "You said my father is outside, what basis do you have?"
Hum! At a young age, I am still a bit alert.
"I can't give it to you right now. If you want an answer, follow my command. I promise to go out and show you."
This is a guarantee without guarantee. Even Lao Xu himself cannot guarantee 100% that the child will be able to see his father after he goes out.
after all. After such a long time, Lao Xu, who was trapped in the house, didn't know what happened outside.
Although brothers outside have been passing on relevant information to him, every time safety is mentioned, they always tell him that everything is fine.
But Lao Xu knew in his heart that based on the character of the brothers outside, even if he encountered danger. If something happens, he may deliberately conceal the facts in order to appease himself.
In addition, Huo Yuankai was an outsider, so it was reasonable for his brothers to conceal his life and death.
In addition, even if Huo Yuankai is really okay at the moment, the subsequent rescue operation cannot guarantee that the latter will not be killed.
But no matter what, the first task is to give the boy a reassurance so that he can safely cooperate with his evacuation operation.
As for whether Huo Yuankai will live or die in the future, that is a matter for discussion.
The young man had no way to tell whether what Lao Xu said was true or false, but at this time he had no other choice.
"Only when you are alive can you have the capital to see your father. I think you should know what to do." Lao Xu added while the iron was hot, and then patted the young man on the shoulder and said no more.
What was different from what was expected was that the first ones to arrive at the place where the sound source was placed were not the first batch of leading "leapers", nor the "runners" sprinting at full speed, but those who were leisurely in the third array. The "climber".
This may seem a little unreasonable at first glance, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that it makes sense.
why?
This has to start with the layout of the survivor team, yes! In terms of speed, "climbers" are definitely inferior to "jumpers" and "runners".
In fact, the first person to arrive at Kanghui Building was the "Jumper" of the First Group.
But entering the building does not mean that you can reach the source of the sound. You must know that the survivor team specially set up some obstacles in order to delay the progress of the zombies.
Of course, those first batch of beasts who rushed into the building were either confused by the noise of their random thoughts.
Or the way is blocked by the gate tied to the safe passage.
After such a delay, the "climbers" will naturally follow.
Once you get to the building, the climbing advantages of the "climber" are revealed.
These beasts used the stairs and walls and their own conditions to easily avoid the roadblocks set up by the survivors. Although the noise affected their judgment to a certain extent, it did not stop them from entering the building to investigate.
In just over 3 minutes, a "climber" successfully found and entered the survivor's sound source burial place.
Looking through the telescope, Tang Xiaoquan could clearly see the anxious scene of animals "rummaging through boxes and cabinets" in the house.
This is really troublesome! Although he knew that it was inevitable for zombies to enter the sound source, Tang Xiaoquan's surprise was that they were summoned so early.
And if things continue to develop like this, Tang Xiaoquan is worried about whether the sound source set up can last until the arrival of the first echelon of "walkers". (To be continued.)
