Chapter 148: Emergency Situation

*Puff! *

It was raining outside, but it was very dry inside the mall. The tablecloth caught fire after a while, and the old man didn't even have time to stop it.

"Hahaha, burn, burn these bastards to death!"

Xiang Wei grabbed the lit tablecloth and swung it.

Under the firelight, the distorted faces of several people were reflected, fear, anger, madness...

In the north of Qincheng, several car lights illuminated the highway. Two RVs plus a Prado were driving quietly on the highway. The speed was controlled very low, the sound was slight, and when the zombies at intervals of forty or fifty meters sensed the breath, the car had already gone far.

Zhang Su was driving while talking to the three of Jia Shiqin about the various things in Jinyuan Mall.

Jinyuan Mall was located in the north of Qincheng city center. It was a prosperous old commercial area in the past. In recent years, due to the expansion of the business district and the prosperity of online shopping, it had gradually declined.

Decline was decline, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Jinyuan Mall in the city center had been operating, including the underground supermarket, which was very lively, radiating more than a dozen surrounding communities, and it was precisely because of this that it could attract survivors to gather.

"Master Jia, according to your statement, zombies are mainly concentrated on the third and fourth floors, right?"

Zhang Su asked.

Jia Shiqin nodded: "That's right, there was a researcher in animal behavior in our team. He observed zombies carefully and found that their ability to climb upstairs is stronger than going downstairs, so even if it is unconscious wandering, they generally move toward the upstairs."

Taking zombies as animal research was also quite majestic.

"If I remember correctly, there are passages on the second, third, and fourth floors between Block A and Block B of Jinyuan Mall. In a while, we will go from Block B. There are survivors there, and the environment is relatively stable. Master Jia, how many people are in that group?"

Zhang Su began to plan, but was poured a bucket of cold water.

"It won't work, Brother Zhang. The passages between Block A and Block B are all closed. It's not just a simple lock. It should be that the fire doors were dropped by supermarket staff before the power was cut off. Unless the power is restarted, it is very difficult to break through violently."

Jia Shiqin said helplessly.

"Then how did that group of people who occupied Jinyuan Mall first go to Block B?" Zhang Su asked suspiciously.

"We were on the third floor at the time, not very clear how they went..." Jia Shiqin scratched his head in confusion.

Zhang Su frowned. He thought to himself that this leader of the self-rescue team was also too fucking bullshit. He didn't care about such an important thing. What if the other party played a trick?

The hairstylist followed up: "I know this. I saw them walking from the mall gate at the window at that time, and they even killed four or five zombies outside."

Zhang Su suddenly realized: "That is to say, that group of survivors gave up the familiar Block A and were not afraid of trouble, killing their way from outside the mall to Block B... Master Jia, didn't you suspect why they gave up Block A?"

"Think... I didn't think much at the time, just felt that having a place to rest was already burning high incense, and after thinking about it later, I found the problem. It should be that the skybridge was not easy to defend."

Jia Shiqin sighed.

Zhang Su rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to Jia Shiqin. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Old Tan, Old Tan, it's not far to turn left ahead, speed up, shake off the tail behind!"

After speaking, Zhang Su stepped on the accelerator slightly, made a turn, and knocked several zombies at the intersection flying.

"Since the mall gate can be walked, we will go in directly from the gate in a while. The interior of Block A is a circular design, Xinyu, you and, hm?"

Just as he was about to assign people to lure zombies to run in circles, Zhang Su's eyes lifted, and he pointed forward in a daze: "That is... Jinyuan Mall has power? No, damn, that's on fire!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhang Su's finger, only to see red light jumping in the glass curtain wall on the third and fourth floors. The diffraction of the firelight could even vaguely see the four gold-plated characters "Jinyuan Mall" on the wall!

"That's right, it's there, Jinyuan Mall is on fire!"

Jia Shiqin was particularly panicked when he saw the fire.

"Zombies shouldn't be able to start a fire. This is very likely a chaos created by humans. The people inside must be trying to save themselves. Hold on!"

Zhang Su shouted, turned the car lights to high beam to illuminate the front. There were not many vehicles piled up in the middle of the road, and the full-ground mess did not hinder things. He increased the speed and rushed toward the wandering zombies. If he didn't kill them now, they would follow the car to the front of the mall in a while.

*Thump thump thump. *

After a series of collision sounds and *puff-puff* crushing sounds, the RV braked and stopped in front of the mall gate. Fortunately, it was a flat-head RV, which had a structure similar to a truck head. If it were an ordinary car, the airbag would have exploded again.

"Damn, when can I find equipment and materials to modify the car!" Zhang Su pondered in his heart.

The Prado and the Faukner Mefu stopped steadily behind. More than a dozen people walked off the car one after another, first clearing the seven or eight zombies that followed.

"Brother Su, it's on fire!"

Lu Yubo pulled the grain sampler out of a zombie's head and ran to Zhang Su anxiously.

"I saw it! Old Tan, don't be anxious!"

Zhang Su stopped Tan Huajun, who was anxious to rush into the mall, and then said to everyone: "Listen well, Chen Hanzhou, Pei Lan, Zhao Xue, and Wu Lue, you four guard the car well. If anyone approaches, warn them only once, and if they take another step, shoot!"

He believed that these four could do what he explained.

This is the benefit of going all out. There are enough people, and things are easy to arrange, and there will be no serious oversights!

"Little Xue, you must not be soft-hearted!"

Zhang Su handed the handgun specially for sentry duty to Zhao Xue and exhorted again.

"Brother Su, you know me." Zhao Xue's cold voice was full of emotions that made people feel at ease.

Zhang Su nodded to Zhao Xue, and then waved his hand: "The rest follow me!"

Just after speaking, he caught a glimpse of the Corgi Lucky following by his side, lowered his head and said: "Lucky, you stay, it's too chaotic inside, you can't exert your advantage, look after the car together, if anyone messes around, bite them to death!"

Woof!

Lucky took the order.

Firelight illuminated, there was no need for a flashlight at all. Everyone could see the situation in the mall through the glass door.

Except for the fire, which was very bad, the rest of the situation was far better than everyone expected. There was no group of zombies dancing, and no zombies blocking the door like crazy. Walking into the first floor, it was quite deserted.

However, when everyone looked at the escalator, they found that the zombies that were originally on the first floor were crowding at the escalator entrance, squeezing upward like sardines, just like the evil ghosts being fried in the hell oil pan, looking terrifying under the firelight.

"Didn't you say zombies like to run upstairs? Why are there so many downstairs?"

Zhao Dezhu grabbed Jia Shiqin and asked.

"Mo, most, most of them, not all..." Jia Shiqin explained hurriedly.

"Don't argue!"

Zhang Su interrupted the quarrel, looked up at the upstairs, but due to the structure, the observable range was extremely limited, but with his hearing, he could clearly feel that zombies were chasing something upstairs.

"Ah!"

Just at this time, everyone heard a shrill cry from upstairs, and at the same time there was a *puff-puff* fighting sound.

"Xiang Wei, I, ah... ah... you will also die, will die here!"

The screams mixed with curses, the shrill sound made people feel cold in their hearts.

"Little Ma!"

Another urgent cry.

"Dad... Dad, it's my dad's voice!"

Tan Huajun was suddenly extremely excited.

"Go to hell!"

*Thump! Thump thump. *

Before everyone could react, three zombies fell from the sky and fell not far from the crowd. One head hit the ground and died on the spot, another crawled hard, didn't die, and another fell on the glass display cabinet, dragging its broken body and stood up directly.

Awooo.

Two blind zombies rushed directly at Zhang Su and his group, and the one crawling on the ground was also wriggling toward them.

Zhang Su didn't need to order, immediately three or four people rushed up and quickly solved the three zombies.

"Go, go to that staircase!"

Under the firelight, Zhang Su pointed to a safety passage. The box elevator couldn't be used, the escalator was occupied by zombies, so only the safety stairs were left. He prayed in his heart that the safety passage could really be safe!
