Seeing that the zombie army had been led far away from the main force, Lao Xu suddenly ordered: "Let's go down!"
The way to go down is to turn back in the direction of where everyone came from, because only in this way can the zombies be truly led to the "safe zone".
But the dangers involved in doing so are self-evident. To put it bluntly, it is even worse than the route Lao Xu and the others took in the past 15 minutes.
There was no way, there were too many zombies, even Lao Xu and the others had pulled the zombies horizontally for a long distance, but this still could not solve the problem of the zombies' follow-up troops attacking from the bottom up.
Therefore, at this time, the route is steeply interspersed downwards, and it is inevitable to come into contact with zombies moving up the mountain.
However, the advantage of Lao Xu's team selection became apparent at this time. In the four-person team he selected, Hu Xiaodong was holding a compound bow and was in the middle of the team, responsible for dealing with sudden enemies.
Wei Dazhuang, Wang Qiang, and Huo Yuankai all have good swordsmanship in the team, and their combat prowess has been tested in countless life-and-death battles.
Therefore, when the front row output is grounded, Lao Xu is psychologically relieved.
As for Lao Xu himself, he currently has a sword in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand. He can advance to attack and retreat to defend. He is more responsible for controlling the overall situation and guiding the route.
In view of the above combination, it can be regarded as one of the few advantages of the survivor team in the next operation.
The five people moved downward in an orderly manner. In order to ensure that the zombie army could be attracted as much as possible, Lao Xu and the others could not move too fast.
So it didn't take long for him to fight the zombies that rushed towards him sporadically.
Fortunately, the number of zombies in this group was not very large. Relying on Wei Dazhuang and Huo Yuankai's outstanding swordsmanship, they were all easily dispatched.
Continuing downward, the number of zombies increases.
However, the five of them were still able to work together with ease, especially Huo Yuankai's Tang Dao, which he played to perfection.
To be honest, the human body has limited physical strength. Otherwise, if Huo Yuankai is equipped with a perpetual motion machine, the speed of killing zombies may not be slower than that of automatic weapons.
However, this advantage greatly reduces as the downstream distance increases.
By the time we reached the halfway point of the mountain, the walkers piling up could no longer open a path of bleeding with our swords and guns.
In view of this, the five-person corpse-inducing team had no choice but to change their strategy, giving up going straight down and instead taking a circuitous route, which is the so-called zigzag walk.
The five-person group first moved laterally to get rid of the zombie troops, and then crossed downwards. After encountering the beast's backup troops, they immediately moved laterally again, and so on, moving down bit by bit.
In doing so, although it seriously interferes with and delays one's own movement speed, the safety is undoubtedly improved a lot.
After all, Lao Xu brought his team members here to do this for the safety of the army, but if it cost the lives of other members of the team, then he would definitely choose to give up.
At the same time, the large group of survivors on the other side were also crawling up the mountain with difficulty.
Although the number of zombies following them was greatly reduced thanks to Lao Xu's attraction, the escape journey of the large army was not going smoothly and was even dangerous.
First of all: there is a lot of instability in the team.
Needless to say, He Jing and Yali were mentally unstable. Fangfang's safety also required special care.
Secondly, Wu Chao was injured, so it was not easy to transport him smoothly up such a steep uphill slope.
Finally, and of course the most important thing, no matter how hard Lao Xu and the others try to attract zombies, there are still trapped fish that appear around the group of survivors from time to time.
To be honest, these sporadic zombies are much more confusing than the zombie army.
Because there are so many zombies, you can easily spot them and take precautions in advance.
But there are sporadic zombies, they are invisible, their traveling routes are irregular, and they have a full-screen "mood". It is not an exaggeration to say that they are special forces in the zombie army.
At least the harassment and psychological pressure they brought to the survivors' escape team was no less than that of the zombie army.
At this moment, three more ignorant zombies emerged from the bushes.
When they saw the survivors climbing the mountain, they immediately danced with excitement.
It is easy to see from the excitement of the zombies that they never imagined that they would be so lucky.
There was nothing much to say about such a delicious meal. The three corpses immediately spread their arms and staggered towards the survivors.
"Leizi! Xiao Wen! Lao Yue!"
"Understood!" Hua Biao's voice fell, and Lei Tong, Wen Wen Xin, and Yue Guishan each held a weapon in their hands, and each of them followed the swaying zombies and greeted them enthusiastically.
The knives were slashed one after another, and the three corpses fell down immediately.
This is the first time they have knocked down beasts and attacked them unexpectedly.
Fortunately, the survivor team now has a numerical advantage, so even though the zombie attack is very troublesome, in general they can handle it calmly. At least compared to Lao Xu and others on the other side, it is undoubtedly much easier. Much.
The sickle blade made a graceful arc, and the bloody sword burst out immediately, and then two were sent out one after another. With two moves, Wei Dazhuang killed two more beasts.
However, this is of no use. Faced with a steady stream of shaking black shadows, you will feel desperate from the bottom of your heart.
"Let's go!" Now that the small group of enemies had been wiped out, Lao Xu immediately issued a transfer order.
They are now playing hide-and-seek with the zombies. To put it nicely, they are using the tactics of the older generation to fight against the zombies.
When the enemy advances, we retreat, when the enemy is stationed, we harass, when the enemy is tired, we attack, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue. Although this is not an appropriate description of zombies, Lao Xu's current strategy is basically based on this idea.
Their team is currently attracting zombies and is also waiting for an opportunity to eliminate them.
After all, transfer is only a means, and elimination is the only way.
But in the face of such a large zombie army, if you fight hard, let alone Lao Xu, there are not enough people. Even if you turn over a dozen times, it will not be enough.
Therefore, Lao Xu simply adopted the strategy of running away when encountering large stocks of zombies and taking advantage of small stocks.
Because he believed that due to the blind obedience of zombies, large groups of zombies moved slowly and it was unlikely that they would wander around. Therefore, even if they did not keep up with the large army, they would eventually join up with it.
It is different from small groups. They are small in number and move loosely. Once they get separated, they will become "lonely ghosts" in the jungle. If they are not kept together, they will be able to get into their own camp, thus causing inconvenience to the members of the camp. Necessary loss.
Based on this idea, Lao Xu led the team and killed nearly a dozen small zombie groups along the way.
There are as few as 2 or 3, and as many as 15 or 6, which may not sound like much, but if you add them up, the number is quite considerable.
Relying on their delay, the large retreating troops finally arrived at the target location successfully under the leadership of Hua Biao. (To be continued.)
