Chapter 40: Mysterious operation (Princes and princesses, please follow and read)

"Oh, so the roof looks like this. It's my first time on the roof."

Zheng Xin looked around curiously. The warm sun was high, the wind was cold and the clouds were light, and the distant mountains were in sight. Everything seemed so beautiful. If it weren't for the rolling thick smoke in the distance, she would even think the disaster hadn't broken out.

"Brother Su, there's someone!"

Zhong Xiaoshan pulled Zhang Su's arm nervously, pointing to Building 4.

Zhang Su and Zheng Xin looked at Building 4, and sure enough, a man and a woman were looking at them.

The woman was wearing a short woolen coat, while the man was in a sports hoodie. They looked very young, no more than twenty-five.

From their attire, it could be seen that they definitely didn't come to the roof at the beginning of the disaster, at least the woman didn't, because at that time it was far from needing a woolen coat.

Seemingly to show friendliness, the man in the hoodie waved vigorously at Zhang Su and the others, causing his body to sway.

Zhang Su responded by waving back.

Unfortunately, the two buildings were more than thirty meters apart, and with some wind, they could only rely on shouting to communicate. Both sides knew that sound would attract zombies, so they didn't dare to speak.

"They must have been hiding on the roof for several days."

Zheng Xin saw the dirty coats and disheveled hair on the two and said.

"Looking at their state, it's not very good... need to find a way down as soon as possible. Dragging it out will cause damage to their functions due to low temperature, which is even more dangerous!"

Zhong Xiaoshan revealed a trace of helplessness on her face and said.

Zhang Su looked at the two women with some surprise. These words were originally what he was going to say, but he didn't expect to be preempted by them. It seemed the two guys' thoughts had slowly kept up with the rhythm.

"Let's do our own thing, don't waste time. Zhong Xiaoshan, you keep watch here. If you hear movement downstairs, call us! Xin, come with me."

Zhang Su instructed while waving to the people opposite, drawing a period to the brief meeting.

"What are they doing on the roof?"

The man on the roof of Building 4 put down his arms, a thoughtful look appearing on his dirty face.

At twenty-something, he should have been high-spirited, but at this moment, the youth's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness.

"Tian Fan, they... they don't look panicked at all. They should be able to enter and exit the roof freely. It seems the crisis in Unit 1 of Building 3 has been resolved. We can ask them for help!"

The woman on the roof of Building 4 pulled the man's clothes excitedly.

Her dirty face looked very ordinary, but if one observed carefully, one could see the woman's skin was quite good; she must have taken careful care of it usually. The thick woolen coat covered her figure, so her curves couldn't be seen, only that she wasn't fat.

She was six or seven years older than Tian Fan. Before this, the two weren't familiar. The sudden disaster brought them together on the roof.

Tian Fan turned his face and smiled bitterly: "Sister Yu, even if we can pass the message to them, how do you expect them to save us? There are quite a few zombies gathered in our unit!"

Upon hearing Tian Fan's words, Yu Nuo's expression dimmed. Thinking of the experience of fleeing to the roof two days ago, all kinds of terror were vivid in her mind. Those fishy, stinking big mouths, those scarlet eyes, the teeth hanging with blood and flesh, every time she recalled it, she would break out in a cold sweat, and she would still have nightmares now.

"But, we can't just stay on the roof like this. Food and drink are running out, and... it's so cold at night. Tian Fan, we can't stay here, we must escape."

Yu Nuo's expression was full of longing for life. Not knowing what she suddenly thought of, her eyes turned red. Just as she was about to squat down to save physical strength, she looked at the opposite side suddenly and muttered: "They seem to be doing something!"

Tian Fan looked in the direction Yu Nuo pointed and was astonished to find the other party pick up a cement block the size of a palm and throw it far away.

"This... smashing zombies?"

Tian Fan's eyes went black instantly. At first, he saw the three people opposite holding weapons and looking quite fierce, but he didn't expect them to do things so ridiculously.

There were at least a hundred zombies downstairs. Relying on stone-smashing, I'm afraid even if they tore down the building and smashed it slowly, it wouldn't be enough.

However, while Tian Fan was still speechless, a strange yellow sphere appeared in the man's hand opposite...

Immediately after, a earthy music sound came from the opposite roof!

"Why can't I fly out of this flowery world, originally..."

Before he could recover from his astonishment, he saw the man opposite throw the yellow ball in his hand toward the space between Building 7 and Building 8 with force!

"Damn, so they want to lure the zombies between Building 3 and 4 away!"

Tian Fan exclaimed in a low voice, light bursting from his defeated eyes. He flew to the wall to look at the yellow ball in the air, sighing that the man opposite had great strength. A beautiful parabola threw the yellow ball so far!

"Old Liu, oh Old Liu, I'm afraid I'll let down your entrustment..."

At the bottom of Building 4, lying in a narrow space, a man licked his lips, which were white and cracked from thirst. Beside him lay a standard assault rifle, and there was a pistol at his waist. But even so, he had no intention of rushing out.

It wasn't that he lacked courage, just that he was burdened with his old friend's dying entrustment and didn't dare to die easily.

"Xiao Qin, I, I can't live. Your sister-in-law... your sister-in-law is gone, but Xiao Yu is still alive. He wasn't infected. Promise me, live and find him. Don't be buried with us here, it's meaningless!"

The scene of Captain Liu's death appeared in his mind repeatedly.

If it weren't for the last wish, he would have already died that night!

He wanted to turn over, but because the space was too narrow, he could only turn slightly at most and couldn't turn his prone body into a supine one.

He reached for the water bottle beside him, opened it, and poured it hard, only two or three drops falling into his mouth...

The uncomfortable posture, hungry and thirsty, surrounded by crisis, was disintegrating the man's will every moment. Every minute felt as long as a year.

He counted the zombies' feet to pass the time, but due to the obstruction of the shrubs, he couldn't see everything. Through different shoe styles, he counted more than fifty zombies. Regardless of how many more there were that he hadn't counted, this number alone was enough for him to drink a pot.

"Tonight, no matter what, I must rush out tonight. Even if I die, I must..."

Squelch!

Just as the man was secretly swearing, the sound of stones landing on the grass sounded in the distance.

He turned his body with difficulty and looked at the place where the sound came from. Due to the field of view, he couldn't see anything.

"Who the hell is bored enough to tease zombies for fun? Don't tell me they intend to smash so many zombies to death one by one with bricks."

"Originally, I was a drunken butterfly..."

Just as he was criticizing the person throwing stones for having a strange train of thought, a loud singing voice suddenly rang in his ears.

The quiet world, the sound of zombies' feet rubbing against the ground became the main melody, occasionally mixed with heartbreaking cries. This sudden singing was like a bolt of lightning hitting the man's eardrum, making his heart tremble.

A moment later, the man looked at the zombies' feet within his field of vision in disbelief, all running toward one direction!
