Chapter 258: Chapter 159 Food Searching_3

Maya asked, "What’s going on with Lin Wu?"

Shana replied, "He’s still hiding."

Little Knife asked, "What, he can’t come out?"

Shana explained, "There are zombies at the entrance."

Little Knife didn’t believe it, "As long as he’s not dead, it’s the zombies that should be dead." One of the two must die.

Maya, not paying attention to their conversation, said, "Shana, go take a look." After all, Shana was the agile one.

Shana stealthily moved to the elevator shaft, circled around without seeing any zombies, then climbed up to peer out and saw that the zombies near the sewer had dispersed, but they had scattered to the nearby surroundings, with zombies inside the pizza shop and bakery. There were also five or six zombies in the alley, including a Blood Ferocious.

After hearing the report, Maya also took a look, knowing that if the Blood Ferocious didn’t leave, they would be at a significant disadvantage.

After waiting for an hour and checking several times, that Blood Ferocious was still seven meters away from the sewer entrance, amusing itself by somersaulting and rolling around.

Shana made up her mind, "I need to go up and take a look."

"If you die, we all might die," Maya calmly replied. Without Shana leading the way, Maya had no confidence in getting everyone back.

After thinking for a while, Shana said, "I’ll lead you back to the county marker first."

Maya said, "I’ll go up and take a look."

Shana said, "Of all the people here, I’m the only one who’s been married. If someone has to die, it should be me."

...

In the long wait, Lin Wu knew that Shana and the others had run into trouble; otherwise, they would have come to rescue him. Lin Wu tapped on the oven, quickly attracting the attention of a zombie. The zombie began to scratch at the oven door, which in turn drew several more zombies. Before long, an area of three square meters outside the oven was packed with zombies.

With the increase in zombies came a quicker rate of door scratching; the metal door visibly wrinkled and rusted at a rate detectable by the naked eye. Lin Wu grabbed his assault rifle, and the moment the door was scratched apart, he decisively fired. At almost point-blank range, it was like pressing the muzzle against the zombies’ heads. He emptied half a magazine of bullets, and all the zombies in the area fell.

Lin Wu took the opportunity to run out the back door, only to face a Blood Ferocious head-on; Lin Wu executed a Wind Stinger. However, he hadn’t anticipated the alley being too narrow; his Wind Stinger was a fast move, not a teleport, and his body collided with the Blood Ferocious. The Blood Ferocious bit into Lin Wu’s shoulder as he stabbed at it with his knife. The outcome: the Blood Ferocious died, Lin Wu nearly died.

With this delay, zombies from all directions converged. Lin Wu didn’t have time to bandage his wounds and, recalling a movie scene, he used his feet for support and scaled the walls of the alley’s buildings. With the double Agility boost, the action wasn’t particularly difficult. After climbing about three meters and seeing the zombies below unable to threaten him, Lin Wu took out a bandage to heal himself, then swallowed two pain pills. In just that short time, the bleeding caused by the Blood Ferocious had nearly drained his life away.

Soon Lin Wu climbed to the third-floor balcony on the right, where several zombies in the bedroom, overconfident, charged at Lin Wu and were eliminated by him. But this place wasn’t safe either; the screams had begun to take effect, and the zombies broke through the main entrance downstairs, running upstairs. As the zombie horde entered the bedroom and rushed toward the balcony, Lin Wu leaped to the neighboring three-story balcony, which was above the bakery.

The system hadn’t lied; the attributes of the zombies in the Blood Mist were significantly enhanced. Seeing Lin Wu change locations, the zombies from the balcony and bedroom swarmed downstairs, joining the other zombies cramming the entrance of the bakery’s stairwell. If it had been any other time, these zombies would have just foolishly roared at Lin Wu from across the balcony.

As the zombies breached the bakery’s third floor, Lin Wu leaped back to the residential building’s third-floor balcony. He was essentially playing a game of back-and-forth jumping. But the Frenzies were not about to indulge Lin Wu; they easily traversed the one-and-a-half-meter gap. Unfortunately for them, they overestimated their combat effectiveness; one jumped, one died, another jumped, another died, all of them meeting Yama without even touching a hair on Lin Wu.

The people in the sewer were already aware of Lin Wu’s current situation, and Maya provided the only solution, "Jump into the sewer."

Lin Wu asked, "Jump into the sewer from the third floor?"

"Yes."

"You mean the sewer, the one that’s the size of a sesame seed?"

"Yes."

Lin Wu objected, "I can’t jump." Zombies crowded near the sewer. If he didn’t make it into the sewer, he would be eaten.
