Chapter 146: All-Out Attack (Happy Lantern Festival to everyone)

~13 min read 2,469 words

Those who should keep watch continued to keep watch, and the rest of the people in the glass factory had no sleepiness and gathered in the factory building.

Zhang Su and his group sat in a circle, and the three of Jia Shiqin sat in the middle like prisoners waiting to be tried. A camping lamp was placed on the side, and in order not to make the light source too bright, a cover was specially put on it.

Tan Huajun sobbed low, and Pei Lan and Yu Qing comforted her in a low voice. Although they knew the words were very pale, they had to say them.

"Mr. Jia, right? I'll ask you one thing first. What happened to Old Tan's daughter and old father? Are they dead, or were they bitten by zombies, or other situations?"

Seeing that Tan Huajun had lost her composure, Zhang Su replaced her to inquire.

Tan Huajun raised her head and looked at Jia Shiqin with teary eyes, expecting to hear some good news.

"This... Xiao Lu, Xiao Chao, do you know the specific situation of Lanlan and Uncle Tan?"

Jia Shiqin was stunned after hearing Zhang Su's question and looked at the two people beside him.

"Uncle, I don't know, it was so chaotic at the time, I didn't see it..."

"I only know that Xiao Lan and Uncle Tan were on the fourth floor at the time, I really don't know anything else."

As soon as this was said, Tan Huajun's hope was ignited, and she hurriedly asked: "Master Jia, what situation did you encounter? Tell me quickly."

"Sigh... this matter is all my fault."

Jia Shiqin sighed for a long time, and then told the story.

"After our self-rescue team left Phoenix International, we first tried to find a way to the safe zone of the Olympic Sports Center, but unfortunately the journey was not smooth. Some streets were full of zombies, and we couldn't get through with the elderly and children. We had to change routes many times, but instead we walked further and further away. Later, we arrived at the Jinyuan Mall in the city center."

"At that time, there was already a group of people in the mall, but the number was not as large as ours, so there was no conflict. For the sake of long-term consideration, I proposed that their team merge with the self-rescue team. They disagreed and said they wanted to divide the territory and not interfere with each other. I thought it was reasonable. Later, Block A belonged to our self-rescue team, and that group of people went to Block B."

"I didn't understand at first why they gave up Block A, but later I found out that Block A had a skybridge connecting to the business center next to it. It was that skybridge that ruined things! Everything was fine at first. I remember clearly that I had reinforced the door of the skybridge. I don't know what happened, but yesterday at noon, the zombies from the business center poured into Block A of the mall through the skybridge..."

"At that time, the three of us, plus two other sub-teams, a total of ten people, were collecting supplies in the underground supermarket. The rest of the members were on the third and fourth floors. The skybridge was set up on the second floor. By the time we discovered that the zombies had broken through the gate and entered the mall, it was already too late. We who collected supplies were separated from the old, weak, sick, and disabled upstairs, and, and... sigh!"

Zhang Su followed Jia Shiqin's words and said: "Then you fucking ran away and didn't care about the others in the team, right?"

"No!" The delivery boy immediately retorted: "We tried to kill our way up to rescue other team members at the time, but... but there were too many zombies. We killed one, and three rushed up. Our strength was limited, and we couldn't kill our way up at all."

Zhao Xue frowned: "The interior of Jinyuan Mall is quite complex. As long as you lure the zombies to run in circles, you can win a lot of time!"

"This... after we ran out, we did think of this method, but at that time, really, seeing so many zombies rushing into the mall, my brain exploded instantly, and it was blank. I don't even remember how I escaped at that time."

The hairstylist covered his chest with lingering fear. Although he was a man, he looked a bit sissy from his posture and movements.

"Little Xue, their biggest mistake was not this at all, but not arranging for people to keep watch on the important skybridge, or simply blocking that road. By the time the problem happened, it was already too late."

Zhang Su shook his head endlessly.

Just like the zombie horde attack early yesterday morning, if no one kept watch, by the time the zombies surrounded several cars, there would be no other way out except waiting for death!

Everyone was silent. After experiencing the zombie horde, everyone could imagine that scene. It really required quick wit, and there was no time to think at all.

"No, Master Jia, that is to say, you didn't see my daughter and the others bitten to death by zombies, right?"

Tan Huajun's hope was rekindled in her heart, and she rushed to Jia Shiqin and asked.

Facing Tan Huajun's fiery eyes, Jia Shiqin dodged and said: "I really didn't see it, but with so many zombies, I think..."

"Think less, just tell me if you saw other team members have an accident with your own eyes!"

Zhang Su rudely interrupted Jia Shiqin's muttering.

"No..." Jia Shiqin answered.

"If you didn't, just say you didn't, don't add a bunch of useless bullshit!"

Zhao Dezhu was very impatient and retorted directly!

"They won't have an accident!" Tan Huajun stood up and said very firmly: "They are not stupid, they won't wait for zombies to bite them. There is still a possibility of being alive! Jinyuan Mall, right? I want to go save them! Brother Su, I... I want to go save my dad and Xiao Lan!"

After speaking, she walked toward the outside of the factory building, her steps hurried.

"Old Tan, wait a moment!"

Zhang Su grabbed Tan Huajun and said: "Isn't rushing over like this just sending food to the zombies?"

"But, but I can't just sit here, Brother Su, I..."

Tan Huajun spread her hands powerlessly, and tears flowed down.

"Little Tan, you... although some words are hard to accept, I still want to advise you, don't go, the hope is slim."

Jia Shiqin said with a sad face.

"I didn't know their whereabouts before, but now I know they are trapped in Jinyuan Mall, and you want me not to go? How is it possible? If it were your family trapped there, could you not go?"

Tan Huajun asked Jia Shiqin excitedly.

"I..." Jia Shiqin opened his mouth, and then said in a low voice: "My wife and children are all dead."

Tragic stories happened to everyone.

"Thank you for taking my dad and Xiao Lan out of the community, but now I must go save them!"

After saying that, Tan Huajun broke away from Zhang Su and ran toward the RV quickly. She was going to get equipment.

"Hey, Old Tan!"

Zhang Su followed and ran out. Tan Huajun had already become a core member of the team, and he was unwilling to let a trusted core member with good combat power go to die.

However, when Zhang Su stepped out of the factory gate and left everyone's sight, a line of subtitles appeared in his mind.

【How to face Tan Huajun's difficulties: A, strongly dissuade, B, provide help, C, ignore】

In the darkness, Zhang Su could vaguely see Tan Huajun's figure, frozen not far ahead.

This matter triggered a challenge, and he was not surprised at all, because this matter was quite tricky to handle.

For Tan Huajun, it was the life of a relative, and for Zhang Su, as the undisputed leader of the team, the team members had reached fifteen people. His attitude toward handling this matter would definitely affect his personal prestige, and at the same time, it would also have an impact on the future of the team.

It is not difficult to see from the options that ignoring it is the simplest, but Zhang Su knew that once he made this choice, he would definitely lose the trust of his partners. Everyone would substitute themselves into Tan Huajun's perspective to look at this matter.

If the team cannot contribute to the individual, then the individual will have grudges when contributing to the team.

It is no longer the three-person team when escaping the unit, but a team of nearly twenty people. The trust of every member is precious, especially the core members, and it is impossible to ignore it.

From the situation just now, Zhang Su could see that the possibility of dissuasion was not high, unless her freedom was restricted, which obviously wouldn't work. Combining Tan Huajun's situation and his own, providing help was the most suitable choice.

"B, provide help."

Zhang Su gave the answer.

【How to help Tan Huajun: A, provide personnel coordination, B, provide weapons and supplies, C, provide spiritual encouragement】

"Here it comes again..."

Zhang Su muttered in his heart, what the hell is the use of this spiritual encouragement.

Without hesitation, he silently said in his heart: "A, provide personnel coordination."

【How many people to provide: A, all out, B, half the personnel, C, one partner】

Zhang Su put one hand on his hip and looked toward the city center, closed his eyes and pondered for a while. When the countdown was nearing the end, he said: "A, all out!"

Since he was going to do it, he would do it thoroughly. Whether it was for the reward, for his prestige in the team, or for the safety of the entire team, going all out was the best choice. If it couldn't be done, everyone could retreat together.

【Challenge generated, all out to help Tan Huajun solve the difficulties, difficulty: A, Mo Qianlan (), Tan Chengwu ()】

??

Zhang Su felt a bit strange about this challenge. Thinking about the two names, he knew it must be Tan Huajun's daughter and old father, but what did this mean?

"Could it be that you have to see people alive or corpses dead?"

He was pondering in his heart, and all the sounds in his ears recovered. The anxious figure of Tan Huajun ahead returned to the running state.

"Old Tan!"

Zhang Su ran a few steps to catch up and grabbed her: "I told you not to be impulsive!"

"Brother Su, I am very calm. I know what I want to do. I have learned a lot from you during this time. Thank you!"

Tan Huajun was extremely serious on her face.

Zhang Su heard the dense footsteps behind him and knew that everyone had come out. He pulled Tan Huajun and said: "Old Tan, you are luckier than Old Wang. We each escaped for our lives at that time and had no ability to help him, but now you have our entire team behind you. You want to save your dad and daughter, we will give you help!"

After the words were finished, the scene fell into silence.

Those who understood Zhang Su and those who didn't understand Zhang Su were silent.

Zheng Xinyu had been silently sad just now. She felt that Zhang Su would probably not take the risk to help Tan Huajun, and felt sad and regretful for the big sister she had been with for a period of time. Who would have thought that she was wrong, or that Zhang Su had changed after experiencing a lot, and her perception of Zhang Su had not been updated.

Many of the others had the same idea. They knew that Zhang Su was likely to start from the perspective of team safety and would probably stand by and watch this matter. They didn't expect a reversal!

In short, Zhang Su's words made many people feel that it was within reason but unexpected.

And for the newly joined Liu Tianji and Wang Xin, they immediately felt that Zhang Su was very reliable and a team leader worthy of trust.

Not everyone in the entire team was willing to go to rescue Tan Huajun's family from the bottom of their hearts, but no one was completely unwilling. At this time, it only depended on the leader's attitude!

"Big brother is right, Sister Tan, we have been through life and death together. Your big daughter and old father are trapped, I am willing to contribute!"

Zhao Dezhu was a rough person, but he was actually very particular when he spoke.

He just said he would contribute, and didn't say it to death, because Zhang Su hadn't expressed his attitude on how to help. If he said it too big, it would be very bad. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he really wanted to help Tan Huajun.

"If the individual's difficulties are ignored by the team, then what does the survival of the team have to do with the individual... Mr. Zhang, I am willing to contribute."

Yu Wen also quickly expressed his position, focusing on the fact that this matter was proposed by Zhang Su, and he was just responding to the call, consolidating Zhang Su's position as the team leader.

"Sister Tan, I will help you too!" Zheng Xinyu walked to Tan Huajun's side and put her hand on her chubby shoulder.

"Whatever Brother Su says, I will do. Even if I didn't speak, you don't need to ask!" Lu Yubo waved his fist.

Following closely, everyone present expressed their position one after another, willing to contribute. Even the newly joined Liu Tianji and Wang Xin did not hesitate. They were moved by the language teacher's words. Now it is really the time for everyone for me, and me for everyone.

"A tiny bit of shit, for example, Zhuzi wants to eat a pig, no one cares about him, but Old Tan, this is a big deal, we will not ignore it!"

Zhang Su put his hand on Tan Huajun's shoulder and said to everyone: "There are also Xiaoshan and Pang Dakun who haven't expressed their position. I made the decision for Xiaoshan. Pang Dakun is Old Tan's godson, so there is nothing to say! It's decided, we are all out!"

"All out!"

Everyone responded to Zhang Su in a low voice. Although the voice was not loud, everyone's momentum was very firm.
