Chapter 53: I bought this house in full

"Brother Su, that SWAT officer is talking to us!"

Zhong Xiaoshan also discovered the situation across the way, but unfortunately, because the environment was a bit noisy, she couldn't hear what the other party said.

Zhang Su frowned tightly and glanced downstairs. The huge explosion attracted the surrounding zombies, and the zombies, unaware of the situation, rushed toward Unit 2 one after another, while the curling tongues of fire had already swept to the 4th and 5th floors. With the wind helping the fire, it wouldn't be long before it burned to their side!

Want to run?

Of course not...

Zhang Su had planned the supplies that were easy to carry in advance. The plan was to consume what couldn't be carried before leaving the residential area. According to his expectations, by that time, the three of them would have decent combat power and tacit understanding, and would be able to better face the harsh environment.

Unfortunately, plans couldn't keep up with changes!

Zhang Su nodded heavily at the opposite side, then turned to Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan. "Go get the bags, we're leaving!"

"Ah? Th-this, this..."

Zheng Xinyu was so anxious that she spun around in place twice.

She knew in her heart that they would have to leave here sooner or later, but such a sudden departure still caught her off guard.

Zhong Xiaoshan was better than Zheng Xinyu. She didn't live in this residential area to begin with, so her sense of belonging was limited. Since Zhang Su said they were going to leave, she had been preparing mentally, and her acceptance was higher than Zheng Xinyu's.

"Sister Xinyu, hurry up and prepare!"

Seeing Zheng Xinyu was at a loss, Zhong Xiaoshan grabbed her hand and ran to the bedroom!

Before this, Zhang Su had already stored supplies in the bags as much as possible. Once an emergency occurred, like now, they could just put them on and go!

Soon, six bulging backpacks were brought to the living room, each filled with various supplies.

Thump!

Zhang Su lifted the box under the bed containing weapons. Only the best machetes were left. He hung the scabbard on his waist—an absolute sharp weapon in close-quarters combat!

"Go and bring the crowbar and fire axe, they will be useful!"

Weapons were absolutely critical resources, even higher priority than food!

The two women knew there was no time to lose and didn't dare to delay. They pressed their lips together and hung the weapons they could use on their bags.

"No time, go!"

Zhang Su ran to the window again and took a look. The fire was fierce and had already burned to the 7th floor of the adjacent unit. Because of the wind direction, smoke also started to rise downstairs in their unit!

Without firefighting, it was estimated that the whole building would be in trouble.

"Wait!"

Zheng Xinyu suddenly shouted, urgently saying, "Arm guards, we didn't put on the arm guards!"

Because of the cold weather, they were wearing more clothes, which led them to forget about the arm guards.

Arm guards were an indispensable protective measure. They hurriedly put on the improved arm guards. Calling them arm guards, they actually covered not only the arms but also the lower legs with protective gear, looking just like ice hockey players.

"Go, go!"

The three of them put on the protective gear, carried heavy backpacks on their chests and backs, each held a handy weapon, and rushed to the door.

Zhang Su looked back and found a pack of water in the corner. He gritted his teeth, ran back, and picked it up.

"Brother Su, we have enough water, let's go."

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan, standing at the door, kept waving their hands.

"I bought this house in full, damn it!"

Zhang Su came to the door, looked back with nostalgia, closed the door with a *bang*, and then pointed to the safety door: "Downstairs!"

*Tap-tap-tap, tap-tap-tap. *

Rapid footsteps rang out in the stairwell. Zhang Su took the lead, almost jumping down the stairs. Zheng Xinyu followed closely, imitating him, leaping forward, supporting the railing, swinging her body, and landing.

The most difficult was Zhong Xiaoshan. After the stair-jumping training, her legs were slightly weak, and with the heavy supplies on her back, she clearly couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

She didn't say a word, gritted her teeth, stared fixedly at the stairs under her feet, and ran down steadily. It was indeed a bit slower, but only by about one floor.

"Wait!"

Down to the 4th floor, Zhang Su suddenly stood still, his eyes fixed as he looked downstairs. He couldn't see anything, but the rapid footsteps wouldn't lie.

"Someone!"

"It must be survivors from the lower floors, that's great!"

Zheng Xinyu showed a brief smile. In her view, seeing living people at this time was always better than zombies.

"Go!"

Zhang Su didn't express an opinion, his eyes fixed, and he continued to run downstairs.

The situation in the stairwell was a bit bad. Besides some scattered debris, there were also parked electric scooters, which had a certain impact on their speed, but fortunately, there were no zombies.

Rumble...

Down to the 2nd floor, the three of them heard a dull thud at the same time.

"Holy crap, I'm afraid the plastic-steel window was burned off!"

Zhang Su didn't stop his pace and said in surprise.

The two women weren't as calm as him and kept their mouths shut, having no time to talk.

Soon the three arrived at the first floor.

Zheng Xinyu followed closely behind Zhang Su, thinking he was going to go out the unit door, but found he continued to run underground!

Zhang Su slowed down and made a gesture to follow, while adjusting his breathing. After Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan arrived behind him, he said softly, "Those two didn't go out of the unit!"

In other words, those two also came to the parking lot.

"But you said before that there would be a lot of zombies in the parking lot!"

Zheng Xinyu lowered her voice and said, her heart still pounding from the intense exercise.

On the first day the disaster broke out, Zhang Su and Zheng Xinyu judged from various news that the zombie outbreak happened around 7:00 AM, which was the morning peak for work and school.

Shengqin Garden adopted a people-vehicle separation design. Owners who drove out would go to the underground parking lot to pick up their cars, which meant there were far more people underground than above ground!

Zhang Su leaned against the wall and walked down slowly, nodding as he said, "That's right, it must have been like that at the time, but not necessarily now. And we need a car to break out!"

The situation on the road was unknown, but cars drove by every day, proving that it wasn't so bad that cars couldn't pass.

In an area with dense zombies, trying to cross on foot was as difficult as ascending to heaven, and the mobility of vehicles was incomparable.

"My Highlander is parked nearby downstairs..."

Zhong Xiaoshan tried her best to suppress her rapid breathing and said.

Zhang Su nodded. His van was closer, in the second parking space to the left after leaving the stairwell door. Buying a house in full gave him the right to choose a parking space first.

The three of them walked gently. As they went underground, the light began to dim. All the lighting had stopped working because of the loss of power. However, there was a faint light at the last corner of the stairs.

Zhang Su raised his eyebrows, made a silencing gesture to the two behind him, moved his ears, and listened carefully.

"Brother, I'm afraid there are at least eighty zombies in the parking lot. Can't we take another route?"

A faint and timid voice said.

"Sihai, calm down!" A vigorous voice said, "I've tried it. As long as our movements are light enough, those ghost things find it hard to discover us. Don't be nervous, follow me closely. Remember, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do not make any sound!"

The vigorous voice repeatedly exhorted.

"Brother, I'm still afraid. What if the zombies discover us?" The faint, timid voice sounded again.

"Don't be afraid, we have weapons in our hands. If the zombies discover us, we attack. I've verified your theory—just destroy their brains. You must aim for the head and stab!"

The vigorous voice was very patient.

This time, the timid voice didn't speak again.

The novice protection period was about to end...
