Chapter 81: Surrounded on All Sides

"Brother Su, I'll go take care of the zombies!"

Seeing Tan Hua lying on the ground rolling her eyes, likely needing a moment to recover, Lu Yubo grabbed the grain sampler and walked toward the zombies, looking like a man ready to fight to the death.

"Xiao, you take care of Old Tan! Xin, did you get hurt?"

Zhang Su picked up the huge vernier caliper that belonged to Tan Hua and walked toward the zombies, asking as he went.

Zheng Xin followed Zhang Su with her baseball bat, shaking her head. "I'm tough, don't worry!"

Four zombies, not even coming together, were easily dealt with by the three of them. Lu Yubo, using the grain sampler for the first time, killed two in one go!

Lu Yubo's face was full of excitement, waving the grain sampler. "Brother Su, this thing is freaking awesome!"

Just now, he felt a light thrust, and the grain sampler successfully pierced from the zombie's eye socket into its brain, and the zombie lost its vitality and fell to the ground. The killing efficiency was simply off the charts!

He felt that if he were holding a pass, killing a hundred zombies wouldn't be a problem.

"Stop swinging it, it's covered in blood. Wipe it clean and put it away!"

Zhang Su reminded him, then turned to see Tan Hua already standing up with Zhong Xiao's help, her face pale and drool on her chin, but she could walk and move, and her limbs seemed fine.

"I've already broken in your weapon for you, it's really easy to use!"

He said, handing the heavy vernier caliper to Tan Hua.

Tan Hua took the vernier caliper, which was dripping with blood and unknown mucus, and said thank you with a complex expression.

"Old Tan, only after climbing over this wall have you truly entered the new world. Don't have any wishful thinking, and don't have any unrealistic kindness. You don't have to have your own ideas, but you must listen to orders, understand?"

Zhang Su said seriously. He didn't know if he could successfully recruit her into the team, so he didn't use 【Insight Tag】 on her, and his understanding of her was limited, so he said a few extra words.

Tan Hua nodded seriously, her chrysanthemum-curled hair fluffing up in a funny way, and dust fell from her head.

Zhang Su picked up his bag and put it on his back while carefully examining the alley. This alley wasn't usually walked by many people, and the stone road was surprisingly clean. Apart from the four zombies they had killed, there were no other corpses!

He pointed to the depths of the alley and said, "Head to the back door!"

He learned from Tan Hua that the Phoenix International complex had three entrances. The main street gate could accommodate vehicles, the side street gate could only accommodate vehicles and pedestrians, and the back door adjacent to other complexes was for pedestrians only.

The group walked along the wall of the complex and soon reached the end of the alley.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhang Su spread his arms and whispered.

At this moment, a small road that could barely fit two cars lay in front of them, but the situation on this road was far worse than the alley!

To the left, leading to the back door of Phoenix International, more than a dozen zombies were wandering. The situation on the right was no better; there were four or five zombies lingering nearby, and a row of tin houses of unknown purpose!

Opposite them was the wall of another complex, which also had a back door not far away, but due to the angle, they couldn't see the situation inside, though they assumed there were zombies there too.

Zhang Su knew very well that if they turned left to kill the zombies, they would definitely attract the zombies on the right road. In total, there were about twenty zombies, which was quite a lot of pressure.

Even if they used various techniques to kill the zombies, they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't attract more in the process. If another batch came out of the two complexes, they wouldn't even have a path to escape!

"Brother Su, I'll take the lead!"

Lu Yubo had new equipment and was in a stage of overflowing self-confidence, volunteering to fight.

"No! It's too risky, don't be reckless."

Zhang Su immediately stopped Lu Yubo. A decision-maker shoulders the fate of the entire team, and when there is a chance to choose, one cannot do things without certainty!

He explained his judgment to the others, and even Lu Yubo had to nod. He hadn't considered so much, only feeling that with a divine weapon in hand, a few zombies (divided among them) were not worth mentioning.

"Climb the wall! Climbing the wall is the safest."

Zhang Su thought about it and decided to climb the wall into the complex.

"Climb, climb the wall?"

Tan Hua wasn't questioning whether the decision was feasible, but questioning her own ability.

However, the reality was that there was no time for Tan Hua to question!

Just at this moment, three migrant worker zombies wearing hard hats suddenly walked out of the tin house on the right side of the road, and this was just the beginning. Following them, more than twenty popped out at once.

It turned out this was a temporary housing for migrant workers!

As if sensing Zhang Su's group squatting at the alley entrance discussing things, the migrant worker zombies walked straight toward them.

When Zhang Su saw this scene, his hair stood on end. He waved his hand and shook his head, lowering his voice: "Run! The zombies are coming!"

The others subconsciously followed Zhang Su's gaze. Thirty or so migrant worker zombies wearing work clothes and hard hats were walking toward them with a swagger, full of pressure!

*Whoosh*, the five people ran back into the alley quickly.

The wall of Phoenix International was much lower than the gas station, about two meters. For people of Zhang Su and Lu Yubo's height, they could reach the edge by standing on tiptoe. There were anti-climbing spikes on top, but they were just for show and couldn't stop a thief.

Running dozens of meters into the alley, Zhang Su took off his backpack and threw it directly into the complex without hesitation. He took a running start and easily climbed the wall. Looking inside, he was overjoyed—there weren't many zombies in the complex, much better than the situation at Shengqin International!

"Quick, come up!"

The zombies were getting closer, and everyone exploded with unprecedented potential. With Zhang Su, who had climbed up first, helping, everyone except Tan Hua was soon standing on the wall.

Seeing the migrant worker zombies getting closer, Tan Hua was so anxious that bubbles formed at the corners of her mouth, but her chubby body just couldn't climb up.

"Old Tan, use your feet, hurry!"

Zhang Su knew that Tan Hua couldn't do it alone. He and Lu Yubo each grabbed one of Tan Hua's arms, and Zheng Xin grabbed the anti-climbing spikes with one hand and bent down to grab Tan Hua's collar with the other.

*Awoo. *

The zombies rushed over with a fishy wind. A hand reached out, but ultimately grabbed nothing, failing to catch Tan Hua's pants, leaving only a few claw marks on the wall.

With the joint efforts of the three, Tan Hua was finally pulled onto the wall at the last second.

"No, Old Tan, you need to lose weight! You're over two hundred, right?"

Zhang Su muttered angrily.

Tan Hua looked at the zombies below with a pale face, panting. "No, not that heavy, one hundred sixty or seventy, maybe I'm wearing too much."
