"Don't give me an estimate!" Lao Mo interrupted Xiao Song's report rudely, "You kid, please count me clearly, how many zombies are there on the fourth floor?"
"Okay, right away!" Xiaosong knew that the situation was urgent and knew Lao Mo's temperament. However, Xiaosong himself was famous for his good temper, so he didn't care about Lao Mo's attitude towards him. He quickly replied, "There are people on the fourth floor. Thirty-eight zombies.”
"Thirty-eight, not a lot!" Ding Xiangling thought for a moment and said.
"Are we going up?" Ben, a white man, asked.
"Of course we want to go, otherwise why would we come here?" Lu Li said.
Every time they go on a mission, danger is bound to exist. It is impossible to do nothing just because they are afraid of danger. They need to survive among the zombies in the apocalypse, so they can no longer talk about safety or success.
"Everyone, have the silencers on the firearms been installed?" Lu Li asked.
"No problem!" everyone replied after checking carefully.
"Okay, let's go up. We must be gentle when passing by the second floor and try not to disturb the zombies on the floors below the fourth floor." Lu Li arranged.
"Xiaosong, order a helicopter to start and be on standby to take off at any time!" Lu Li continued.
"Yes, make arrangements immediately!" Xiaosong's voice came from the communicator.
Although the cost of using a helicopter is very high, and it also means abandoning the motor vehicle driven by several people, for the safety of everyone, if they really can't get down from the building and drive back to the base, they can only use a helicopter to carry them Back to base.
Lu Li and the others got ready, then walked lightly and moved upstairs.
After several people entered the stairwell, Lu Li motioned to the black man following him to close the door to the stairwell on the first floor, but did not lock it.
Closing the door is to block the possible passage of zombies downstairs to a certain extent, because zombies do not have normal human intelligence. They only know how to chase prey from the passage, but they do not know how to open the door and other basic human behavioral abilities. Closing the door in the stairwell If the door is locked, the zombies will not know where to go upstairs. The door is not locked so that Lu Li and others will not be blocked by the door during their final retreat, delaying their time to survive.
When we arrived at the stairwell connecting the first and second floors, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Lu Li motioned for everyone to stop, gesturing.
Ben and the black man understood each other, took their respective positions, and pointed their guns downstairs; while Lao Mo and Xiao Qiu quietly followed Lu Li and Ding Xiangling, moving upstairs with them.
Lu Li and Ding Xiangling walked to the stairwell on the second floor. Sure enough, the stairwell door on the second floor was closed, but it was not locked. The door could be opened by gently pushing or pulling from both sides.
Lao Mo and Xiao Qiu walked around Lu Li and pointed their guns at the building upstairs.
Lu Li and Ding Xiangling stood by the door.
Ding Xiangling pulled out a piece of nylon thread from his cuff, cut it off, then stepped forward and gently tied the nylon thread to the handle of the building door.
After twisting around for several times and confirming that the door was tied tightly and that the stairwell door could not be opened easily, Lu Li motioned for everyone to continue going upstairs.
A few people took steps lightly.
On the second floor, where there was a potential crisis, everyone passed by without any danger.
Xiaosong and others, who were closely watching the surveillance in the stronghold's dispatch room, also let out a sigh of relief at this moment.
There was no problem on the third floor. Several people quickly moved to the fourth floor.
Standing in the stairwell on the fourth floor, the stairwell door on the fourth floor was also closed.
However, Lu Li and others did not dare to open it easily. Everyone knew that there were zombies on the fourth floor, and no one could guarantee that if they opened the stairwell door, they would directly encounter zombies.
"Xiaosong, mobilize the drone to explore the entire fourth floor and transmit the situation to us." Lu Li commanded.
"Yes!" In the dispatch room, Komatsu started to operate the drone himself and started flying on the fourth floor.
"Brother Lu, the picture has been transmitted." Xiao Qiu moved to Lu Li's side and raised the picture in the video on the mobile phone tied to his hand to Lu Li's eyes.
"There are no zombies at the door of the building," Ding Xiangling also looked at the electronic screen in Xiao Qiu's hand. "But if you go to the mall, you will inevitably have to meet zombies." Ding Xiangling said.
"Xiaosong, continue your inspection and see if there are any other stairwell entrances and exits such as safety exits on the fourth floor. Commercial buildings generally don't have only one stairwell." Lu Li arranged.
"Yes, we are investigating!" Xiaosong ordered other people in the dispatch room to control other drones flying on the fourth floor.
"Boss, there are four safety passage entrances and exits on each floor. At the four corners of each floor, you are now at the southeast corner of this floor. There are also safety passage stairwell entrances and exits in the other three directions. You After picking up the supplies at the mall, I will arrange a safer retreat route for you depending on the specific situation." came Komatsu's voice.
"Okay!" After receiving Xiaosong's message, Lu Li signaled everyone to start taking action.
Ben and the black man took one side and slowly opened the door to the fourth floor stairwell.
Lao Mo and Xiao Qiu kept their guns pointed behind everyone, up and down, to guard against zombies that might rush behind them.
Lu Li and Ding Xiangling pointed their guns in front of them, staring at the slowly opening stairwell door.
The door was slowly opened, and as Xiaosong reported, there were no zombies in front of everyone, and it was empty.
Lu Li raised his hand and gestured for everyone to come in.
The six people formed a combat formation, followed Xiaosong's instructions, and headed towards their target shopping mall.
"Stop!" Xiaosong's voice rang through the Bluetooth headsets in everyone's ears.
Everyone had a tacit understanding, stopped in unison, squatted down behind a load-bearing wall, and used the load-bearing wall as a bunker.
"Boss, wait a minute and turn right. There is the zombie group on the fourth floor. Behind the zombie group is the shopping mall." Komatsu stared at the picture transmitted by the drone.
"Xiao Qiu!" Lu Li waved his hand to signal Xiao Qiu to come over.
Xiao Qiu came over with his mobile phone and raised the screen to Lu Li's eyes.
Lu Li looked at the zombies swaying on the screen and took a deep breath.
"Boss..." Xiao Qiu called out in a low voice, lowering his voice.
Lu Li signaled to be silent.
He waved back, and everyone understood, lifted up the various rifles in their hands, and checked the chamber pressure.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Lu Li was the first to stand up and step forward.
Among the zombies in the apocalypse, during small-scale battles, no one dared to shout. Everyone bit their lips and did not dare to make a sound. They just pulled the trigger and added a silencer rifle to their hands. Kill the zombies roaring in front of you.
Lu Li and others were worried that although the six of them could try to be silent while fighting, the noise caused by this small group of zombies was now extremely clear in this empty and quiet building. It was estimated that all the zombies in the building They have all sensed it, and maybe they are rushing to find a path to approach them.
