It was about five to six meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a long enough plank or a ladder that he could order from Black Stone Town, he could make it across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the height posed some threat, it was still more reliable than taking on the zombies directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing he was uncertain about was whether his stiff skeleton warriors could cross successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fall from the sixth floor would be enough to shatter them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts in mind, he went downstairs to find a climbing rope, planning to throw it across to measure the distance between the buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was swinging the rope, about to throw it across,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud~ Bang~ Bang Bang Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise of intense collisions came from the road on the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up in the direction of the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bus, styled with a post-apocalyptic vibe, was violently plowing through the zombies and wrecked vehicles in its path, continuing to drive forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sturdy iron plates were affixed to both sides of the bus; the windows were covered with thick iron rods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the gaps in the iron rods, he could see iron pipes sticking out to impale climbing zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the bus was a mass of zombies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More and more zombies, attracted by the collision sound, rushed out from the neighborhoods on both sides to join the crowd chasing the bus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numbers continued to increase, looking like a devastating wave in a zombie movie.
