Chapter 54: Outside the unit door (Handsome guys and pretty girls, please follow)

Zheng Xinyu couldn't hear the conversation between the Duan brothers and didn't see Zhang Su make any further moves. She squatted down, poked her head out sneakily, and looked. She was surprised to find two men squatting behind the iron door, muttering.

A moment later, Zheng Xinyu saw the two pull open the door and walk out. Their sneaky, cat-like movements were even a bit funny.

"Brother Su, why aren't we following them?"

Zheng Xinyu stood up and asked softly.

"Forgot about Xiang Ge so soon? Do you know if they are human or ghosts?" Zhang Su listened to the movements carefully while responding to Zheng Xinyu.

"I... Brother Su, look, they should be survivors from downstairs. They haven't been seen going upstairs to search for supplies these past few days, and they haven't even taken things from every household. People like this shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Zheng Xinyu analyzed logically.

Zhang Su was slightly stunned, nodded in approval, and said, "You're right. Even if they aren't bad people, there's no guarantee they won't treat us as ghosts. Guarding against each other is mutual."

Without enough certainty, Zhang Su didn't intend to team up with people rashly, and he felt the owner of that timid voice was very unreliable!

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan nodded, feeling that Zhang Su was also right. In this world, zombies were definitely dangerous, but their own kind might not be safe either. Everyone had vigilance, and misunderstandings and friction were inevitable.

Instead of spending energy on internal friction, it was better to focus on dealing with zombies!

"They will definitely start the car. We'll wait!"

Zhang Su didn't dare to approach the door rashly, fearing that the two would encounter danger and run back, which would definitely bring a string of zombies. He waited far away at the stair landing.

In the dark and cramped hallway, the stench of rot drilled into the three people's nostrils bit by bit. Waiting was a compulsory course, and one had to be very proficient.

Checking the time, a full five minutes had passed. Zhang Su didn't hear any improper movements, which made him feel slightly relieved. He said softly, "Follow me, same old rules, don't make any sound!"

The three slowly arrived behind the iron door. Just as Zhang Su put his ear to the iron door, he heard the sound of wood falling, followed by a hysterical roar.

"Sihai, run!"

Zhang Su's heart sank, and he subconsciously wanted to lock the door, but his raised hand finally retracted. He turned and pushed Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan, saying, "They've been discovered, run!"

"Ah?"

Zheng Xinyu was startled and followed Zhang Su upstairs in a daze, asking, "Where are we running to?"

If she had been given some time, she might have made a decent plan, but unfortunately, the current environment was full of crises. Many times, there was simply no time to think. One needed quick wit, or to have prepared plans B, C, and D in advance...

"Run out of the unit and head to Building 4, go to Unit 1 of Building 4!"

Zhang Su ran upstairs, stood behind the unit door, and looked out through the glass covered in blood. He didn't know whether to be glad or complain.

A large group of zombies gathered under the burning Unit 2, which reduced the pressure on their side, but if there hadn't been that explosion, there would have been no need to flee for their lives!

In his ears, the sound of zombies roaring underground was getting closer.

Whoosh.

Zhang Su reached out and pushed open the unit door. A cold wind blew in, blowing his hair, which hadn't been washed for a week.

He didn't remember how long it had been since he last stood at the unit door. He often drove in and out and took the elevator home directly from underground. Roughly calculated, it should have been more than half a month ago when he went to the residential area's express delivery point to pick up a package!

Zombies running, stench blowing in his face, the sky gray, the ground covered with all kinds of trash, severed limbs, and pools of blood, broken glass, collapsed houses, charred walls...

If any film crew wanted to shoot a doomsday-themed movie, filming at Shengqin Garden could save a large sum of post-production special effects costs!

In an instant, Zhang Su felt his brain receive countless pieces of information, as if even time had slowed down.

Duang!

At the same time, the underground door was kicked open by someone, and the brothers fled in a panic, followed by a long string of zombies!

"Go, Brother Su, aren't we going to that building?"

Zheng Xinyu walked out of the unit door. Seeing Zhang Su standing still in a daze, she hurriedly pushed him.

Zhang Su came to his senses, took a big step, and jumped down the steps, saying, "The real thing is coming, be ready to attack at any time!"

"Brother Su, there are zombies coming from over there!"

Zheng Xinyu pointed urgently to the collapsed wall.

The wall on the west side of Building 3 was the residential area wall. Due to the explosion of the shops on the street across the way, the wall collapsed over a large area. The zombies wandering on the street weren't attracted by the explosion, but when they saw three big living people, they immediately let out an excited roar.

The wall ruins weren't as high as the stairs. The zombies jumped left and right without much impact and rushed into the residential area.

Awoo, awoo...

Seven or eight zombies yelled messily. Their white teeth looked particularly chilling, and some were flicking their dark tongues, with disgusting liquid splashing everywhere, making one want to vomit.

Zhang Su calculated the time difference at a glance and shouted, "Run, don't worry about them!"

As long as they ran normally, they couldn't be caught by the zombies' speed. Now wasn't the time to fight. There were too many zombies nearby, and stopping to fight would only lead to more and more!

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan had long since lost any other thoughts, but fortunately, their obedience was extremely high. They did whatever Zhang Su said, with great execution, running like the wind even with dozens of pounds of weight.

However, the danger didn't just come from outside the wall. When the three ran to the gap between the west side of Building 4 and the wall, they were immediately attacked by zombies!

Two zombies should have been attracted by the explosion and were slowly moving toward the place where the fire started, just happening to bump into Zhang Su and the others.

"Holy crap!"

The horrifying encounter made Zhang Su unable to help but swear. He raised his axe and hammer and smashed them horizontally at the zombies. With a *thump*, he knocked one down, life or death unknown.

However, the situation of the other two was a bit bad.

Zhong Xiaoshan's reaction wasn't as fast as Zhang Su's, and it was too coincidental. She was bumped by a zombie and staggered. Fortunately, Zheng Xinyu supported her, so she didn't fall.

Seeing the zombie reaching for her, Zheng Xinyu didn't have time to swing her bat. Relying on her flexibility, she dodged and drilled under the zombie's armpit.

Zhong Xiaoshan recovered. Seeing the zombie turn around and prepare to chase Zheng Xinyu, she swung the large wrench and hit it. This time, the zombie staggered. Regardless of the result, she ran a few steps to catch up with the two in front.

However, the crisis didn't end completely. There were four wandering zombies blocking the way near the front of Building 4, and they had already discovered Zhang Su and the three, moving toward them.

"Knock them down and run!"

Zhang Su ran in the front. Carrying dozens of pounds of things, he made a fierce collision. The bulging backpack on his chest collided with the zombie rushing toward him, like a human cannonball.

Awoo!

The zombie let out a strange cry. It was a junior high school student before it died. It was wearing a broken and dirty school uniform on its thin body. It was knocked flying three or four meters into the air, fell to the ground, and twitched, unable to climb up for a while!

Human cannonball Zhang Su won completely. He only felt a slight squeeze in his chest, which was nothing.
