Chapter 1009: Chapter 436: Hellfire_3

As the gasoline bomb thrown by Stone ignited the net ropes, this sneak attack by the Frenzy came to an end.

After searching for Frenzy and clearing the area, they discovered Stone was covered in bite marks from burning the net ropes. Stone stood on the guardrail and said to everyone, "Brothers, I’m going ahead."

"Take care."

Stone fell backwards into The Day After Tomorrow River.

Blood Meng said, "I have to go too." She had a noticeable bite mark on her chin.

Everyone nodded, said nothing, and watched Blood Meng climb over the guardrail.

After Blood Meng’s suicide, everyone fell silent, not daring to look at each other, afraid that someone else would speak up about being bitten. After a while, Shana said, "Roll call."

"Lin Wu."

"Lin Meng."

"Little Knife."

"Snow Egg"

"Blood Meng"

"Shana."

Shana said, "No discussion, no comments. Blood Meng stays at the broken bridge, Lin Wu keeps watch near the front of the vehicle, everyone else take the time to rest, we’ll switch shifts in two hours."

...

On Day 177 morning at 6 AM, Xiao Rou brought a mountain musk deer, a game he managed to get after a difficult hunt in the snowy mountains the night before. Sitting down, they discussed the current situation, Xiao Rou assured everyone not to worry, they would consider retreating further into the mountains depending on the situation and asked everyone not to consider them when making decisions.

Before leaving, Xiao Rou asked if they were really not retreating. Shana told Xiao Rou, "It’s fate."

In the afternoon of Day 177, a large number of zombies crossed over the frozen river. At this moment, the zombies that had jumped into the river last night and drifted to the western bank had successfully climbed the mountain and appeared near the water source. The mountain path was difficult, with no road and only several dozen meters in height, hardly enough to stop the zombies.

Shadow faced a test, now sending two people to guard near the water source could effectively stem the tide of zombies climbing up. But it would stretch their line up to three kilometers. Without sending guards, the zombies could assemble near the water source and push the frontline close to the train.

Retreat into the mountains? With the current natural conditions, retreating into the mountains is tantamount to suicide, but it can buy time and prolong life.

"We can’t hold this, we must leave."

Lin Wu said, "If we’re leaving, then let’s hurry up and head into the mountains."

Lin Meng asked, "How are the Doomsday Horn points calculated? Are they based on the number of zombies killed, or the survival time? Did we misunderstand? Maybe the main goal of Doomsday Horn isn’t to eliminate players, but a way for players to earn points."

Blood Meng said, "I think it makes sense. Starlight and Cedar are two extreme examples, Cedar burned down the hotel and died with a large number of zombies, choosing not to escape by sea. Starlight, on the other hand, relied on high-rise buildings and used the terrain to block the zombies’ attacks. Starlight Base has powered hang gliders. They could have escaped."

Blood Meng continued, "Our retreat has a continuous mountain range, I don’t believe zombies can move faster than us in the mountains. We also had the opportunity to drive to the Western Peninsula with the tow trucks."

Shana looked at everyone, "What are your thoughts?"

Lin Wu spoke for everyone, "Let’s fight, we only have the last two or three days anyway."

"Okay, temporarily retain the tow truck position at the broken bridge to avoid sneak attacks during preparation time," Shana said, "Lin Wu and I will reinforce the first carriage and the locomotive. Blood Meng, Snow Egg, Little Knife, move all necessary supplies such as weapons, ammunition, and food to the first carriage." She clearly had a plan in mind.

Shana drew a diagram: "We’ll use stones, wood, and other materials to block the left and right sides of the first carriage so that zombies can’t attack from those directions. In the front, we’ll use the narrow feature of the locomotive to reduce the number of zombies entering the carriage. We’ll establish a position in the back; we only need to defend the two small doors there."

Snow Egg said, "I’ll help with the fortifications. I can use steel cables to set up a net defense. Bullets can go through, but zombies can’t."

Lin Wu nodded, "Alright, I’ll move the supplies."

Shana checked the time and said, "We probably have a few more hours, let’s get to work."
