Chapter 94: Gunfight Mode Activated
“Xiaoyi, do you have binoculars?”
“Yes,” Lu Weiyi said, taking out binoculars from the space and manipulating the small green branches to hand them to the front.
Zhuang Mingxu looked through the binoculars in the direction behind them and said, “Do we have any blood packs?”
“No,” Lu Weiyi said definitively. They had only been to one hospital and hadn’t gone to the blood bank. After thinking for a moment, Lu Weiyi said, “We have pig’s blood.” It was from the pig they had killed before. Xi Shi had kept the pig’s blood to make pig’s blood tofu another day.
“Good, open one and sprinkle it behind us, try to let the smell of blood spread out and attract some zombies,” Zhuang Mingxu said into the walkie-talkie, “There are cars chasing us from behind, still some distance away.”
His reminder made the people in both cars simultaneously look behind. Xu Sa was an ordinary person and didn’t see anything, but Li Zhuang and Lu Weiyi could clearly see a row of moving objects in the distance, looking like at least five or six cars.
The pig’s blood was all in plastic boxes. A whole pig had less than half a basin, filling five boxes. Lu Weiyi quickly took out a box, opened it, and manipulated the small green branches to quietly sprinkle it behind the car.
Although the speed of the two cars had decreased, there was only this one road, so they would definitely pass. As they got closer, Lu Weiyi used his mental power to cover the farmland on both sides, clearly seeing the people hiding inside. However, his range was limited, and he wasn’t sure if there were more people outside his detection range. “There are people on both sides, quite a few.”
“First, use Lin Fei to threaten them to clear the way. The people in the car who can shoot, take the guns and be ready to fire. Those who can’t shoot, take the explosives and scare them not to shoot randomly, and definitely don’t accidentally blow ourselves up.”
“Once we pass, we’ll attack the three people with guns. Xiaoyi, sprinkle blood on the people on both sides. The others guard against those chasing from behind.” Zhuang Mingxu clung to the side of the truck to steady himself with one hand and held the walkie-talkie with the other, occasionally leaning to look behind through the binoculars in Ning Yuan’s hand. “More zombies are catching up, the smell has spread.”
At this time, they weren’t far from the cars in front. Li Zhuang reduced his speed to the lowest, leaned out the window, and looked ahead. “Yo, acquaintances! Mr. Wang, what are you doing? Robbing on the road?”
Wang Ning probably felt he had the upper hand and lost his previous restraint, saying directly, “Indeed, it’s a robbery. We want both people and goods. Are you getting out yourselves, or do we force you out?”
The few people beside him shook the handguns in their hands at Li Zhuang and the others as he spoke, exactly three of them. Li Zhuang thought the other three should be at another interception point. The other few should be ability users. One of them had a cluster of flames constantly jumping between his fingertips. The others didn’t show their abilities, and it was unclear what type they were.
“Using our things against us, interesting,” Li Zhuang said.
“What’s yours? Once it’s in our hands, it’s ours.”
“Hurry up and get out of the car, leave your space-type ability user behind, and we’ll spare your lives.”
“First, let them hand over the water. How long has it been since I drank water to my heart’s content? Not happy at all.”
“Can’t wait that long. Once we get the people, all kinds of supplies will be ours to decide.”
“That’s right, hurry up, or else… our bullets don’t have eyes.”
Wang Ning let the few of them speak one after another. Lin Yimu in the back of the truck picked up the tied-up Lin Fei and slapped him a few times, waking up the unconscious man. Lu Weiyi manipulated the small green branches to tie the man up and slowly moved him to the side of Li Zhuang’s car door.
“Uncle Wang? Where is this?” Lin Fei woke up tied up like this, completely unaware of what had happened. But the thing binding him was clearly Lu Weiyi’s handiwork. He anxiously shouted at Wang Ning and the others, “Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhang, Brother Song, Brother Lin, save me!”
Li Zhuang clearly saw the expressions of the people opposite change. He pointed at Lin Fei and said, “It doesn’t matter if bullets have eyes or not, as long as they all hit him.” As he spoke, Lu Weiyi manipulated the small green branches to quickly wave Lin Fei in front of the cars, his speed perfectly suited for blocking bullets.
Li Zhuang held the steering wheel with one hand, leisurely lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said as he exhaled the smoke, “Since your Director Lin arranged for you to wait here, he must know by now that his precious son has encountered you.”
He clearly reminded the people opposite that they had told Lin Jun which road they would take, and his son was in their hands. If he didn’t return safely, it would definitely be this group’s fault. These words were also to prevent Wang Ning from having any ulterior motives.
“Your kid is pretty lucky. Fortunately, you ran into your Uncle Wang. If it were someone else, they might have just ignored you,” Li Zhuang clearly hinted again to the others that Wang Ning was Lin Jun’s confidant, making sure no one dared to say anything to test the waters, even if they had ideas.
“Uncle Wang, save me!” Lin Fei had experienced the feeling of this thing around his neck directly choking him. He had a psychological shadow over this seemingly living thing and anxiously begged Wang Ning for help.
“Let them pass. We don’t have any grudges or hatred. Exchanging things was a fair trade. Why cause bloodshed?” Li Zhuang said leisurely. Seeing that Wang Ning was still thinking, Lu Weiyi immediately controlled the small green branches to tie around Lin Fei’s neck.
“Uncle Wang…” Lin Fei shouted in terror.
“Wait,” Wang Ning stopped them from continuing and waved his hand at the people beside him.
The two cars blocking the way immediately started and moved, clearing a lane.
Li Zhuang was the first to drive past and immediately sped away. Lin Fei was clearly positioned in front of the others to restrict their movements. It wasn’t until Xu Sa’s car was about to pass that Wang Ning stopped him and said, “Release him first.”
Lu Weiyi in the passenger seat didn’t hesitate and directly had the small green branches untie Lin Fei. However, before that, he used his mental power to probe Lin Fei’s space and took all the supplies inside.
Entering and exiting space was done with mental power, but some people’s mental power could manifest other abilities, while others were limited to controlling things within their space.
In his previous life, after spaces became more common, some disputes arose. To prevent people with spaces from embezzling supplies, someone eventually discovered a way for mental power to directly probe into other people’s spaces, making it convenient for inspections when entering and leaving the base. This was now convenient for Lu Weiyi.
Lin Fei’s space should have been the most basic level, not upgraded, and not very large, only about a hundred square meters. Inside were mostly valuable things. Besides some food and water, there were more medicines. Lu Weiyi felt they must have raided more than one pharmacy.
Just consider it the toll for blocking their way!
Lu Weiyi thought happily and directly threw Lin Fei towards Wang Ning.
Wang Ning hurriedly caught the person. Before he could stand firm, he ordered, “Fire!”
Bang bang bang…
After three shots, the other side was fine, but the three people beside him holding handguns directly slumped to the side. They were shot by Lin Yimu and Ning Yuan from the front truck bed. As soon as Lu Weiyi saw this, he casually took back the guns from their hands.
At the same time, he threw a few boxes of blood towards the places where people were hiding on both sides of the road and said to Antonio in the back seat, “Fire!” After a few more shots, the blood clots scattered, covering the people with blood all over their faces.
As soon as the gunshots rang out, it was a complete break. Wang Ning no longer concealed anything and shouted, “Stop them!”
The sound of cars starting suddenly came from the fields on both sides of the road, followed by the sound of corn being crushed as they drove towards the front of the two cars, clearly trying to block them again. If they were blocked again this time, they would have no hostages to exchange. Li Zhuang and Xu Sa were both clear on this and simultaneously increased their speed to the maximum, while Antonio and Lin Yimu and Ning Yuan in the big truck simultaneously fired at the cars on both sides of the road.
The sound of “bang bang bang” was endless. Some bullets hit metal, and some probably hit tires or the driver, as the cars clearly swerved. Although there was some effect, more zombies were attracted by the gunshots, as well as… the cars chasing from behind.
The people brought by Longteng hiding in the fields were splashed with blood. Once the zombies came, they couldn’t care about them anymore. The cars chasing on both sides of the road gradually swerved in other directions after being hit by continuous bullets.
Just then, Zhuang Mingxu’s voice came from the walkie-talkie, “Keep accelerating, the people behind are Zhang Xun’s…” Before he could finish speaking, Xu Sa’s car was attacked by gunfire. Bullets came from behind, broke through the trunk door, and hit Gu Qingji in the shoulder.
“Get down!” Antonio said, while opening the car door and firing at the cars chasing from behind. Lin Yimu, Ning Yuan, and Zhuang Mingxu in the front truck bed also began to fire while dodging.
Zhang Xun clearly had more than just handguns. The gunshots not only hit Xu Sa’s car, but even the truck in front was hit by a few bullets. Lu Weiyi saw the clearly pierced truck body and didn’t know who else had been shot.
“Damn it, no bullets!” Antonio said, shouting, “Lu!”
Lu Weiyi immediately reloaded a fully equipped gun for him. The people in the front truck bed probably also ran out of bullets. The distance was too far, and even if Lu Weiyi wanted to throw them some, he couldn’t reach.
“Damn it!” The car swerved sharply. Xu Sa cursed, his whole body twisted, and he struggled to steer the car back onto the road just before it drove into the field. “The tires blew again.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the car swerved again. “Damn it, the two in the back blew too.”
Xu Sa did his best to maintain the car’s balance, his heart in his throat. Then he heard Antonio, who hadn’t said anything all along, say, “Solved.”
Hearing that there were no more gunshots from behind, Xu Sa took a moment to glance at the rearview mirror and saw the cars behind them lying scattered and crooked, and couldn’t help but praise, “That was too timely.”
“A large number of zombies are coming from the front!” Li Zhuang’s voice came from the walkie-talkie, followed by Zhuang Mingxu’s voice, “They’re behind us and on both sides, we’re surrounded!”
After nearly a month, the zombies were moving even faster than before. Lu Weiyi didn’t have a clear memory of the extent of zombies at this stage, but he could tell at a glance that their mobility had reached the level of B-grade zombies after the snow. The main difference was that the post-snow zombies, in addition to being fast, also had increased bone density, which the current zombies lacked.
However, human abilities at this time were far too lacking. Even the fast-moving zombies alone could lead to their extinction at any moment, let alone being attacked from all sides, forming a siege.
