Chapter 1006: Chapter 991: Journey to the Police Station (9)
"Xiaoxin, this is Xu Renjie. Reply if you hear me, over!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoxin was sitting in the vehicle, keeping watch on the surroundings. Due to the distance, he was completely unaware of what was happening on the street.
Suddenly, the handheld radio crackled, making his heart race. He quickly picked it up and responded urgently, "Commander, this is Xiaoxin. How’s your situation over there? Over!"
"We’ve run into a bit of a situation here, blocked by zombies."
"What!? How did this happen?" Even though he was mentally prepared, hearing Old Xu’s words made Li Xiaoxin tense up immediately.
"Here’s what happened, we..." Xu Renjie briefly recounted what had occurred to Li Xiaoxin.
Hearing this, a look of concern appeared on Li Xiaoxin’s face, "Commander, are you saying you were ambushed by ’Jumpers’?"
Li Xiaoxin was well aware of the capabilities of the ’Jumpers’, and that high-speed escape had indeed left a deep impression on him.
Old Xu didn’t have time to waste on other discussions with Li Xiaoxin, as if he hadn’t heard the other’s question, he instructed, "Xiaoxin! Listen carefully, we’re about to break through, and we need your support. Drive in immediately! Remember, the meeting point is between the second and third buildings at the entrance, there’s an alley there, we’ll be waiting for you! Any issues?"
"No issues!" Naturally, Li Xiaoxin had no issues; even if the sky were to fall, he would defy it.
"Good, take care! See you soon! Over!" With that, Old Xu turned off the handheld radio.
After all, their standard operation from now on was to escape quietly. No shooting allowed, as even the slightest sound could mean their deaths.
"Commander?"
"Move!" With a deep, commanding tone, Old Xu inserted the steel blade into his backpack.
Receiving the order, Hua Biao threw the rope in his hand, and during Old Xu’s speaking pause, Hu Xiaodong had already cleared the zombies outside the building.
The rear of the building was still relatively safe at this time.
After securing the rope, Old Xu jumped down first. As the team’s leader, being at the front was the most basic requirement.
Once he landed and confirmed there was no danger around, Old Xu signaled to Hu Xiaodong and the others still waiting on the roof that they could come down.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Dazhuang, Derek, Wang Qiang, and Hu Xiaodong descended one after another.
With prior experience in abseiling, everyone’s descent efficiency was noticeably quicker this time.
Once all the brothers descended to the ground, Hua Biao finally made his descent.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoxin was on the way to the rescue.
The Jianghuai vehicle wasn’t parked very far from the street where the survivors were, so it didn’t take long for Li Xiaoxin to drive onto the street.
However, for Old Xu and the others to meet up with him, they had to overcome the high wall in front of them.
Fortunately, as a military man, Old Xu and Hua Biao were very familiar with various knot-tying techniques, so with a simple maneuver, the rope tied to the water pipe fell freely.
As usual, Hu Xiaodong eliminated a few wandering zombies on the side. After clearing the trouble, Old Xu agilely climbed the wall.
Still as light as a swallow, once he was on the wall, Old Xu immediately took the rope thrown by Hua Biao, thus creating an escape route on the other side of the wall.
No need for instructions, once the escape path was established, the survivors moved immediately.
Swiftly climbing over the wall, they had just landed when they heard a loud roar approaching rapidly from their direction.
"Xiaoxin really is reliable, huh!" Wang Zhongyu half-joked.
Though it was a joke, it truly reflected the sentiments of the group.
Without a doubt, Li Xiaoxin was their only hope for survival, and his timely arrival directly affected everyone’s lives.
Li Xiaoxin was well aware of his responsibility. When he entered the street and saw zombies gathered at the police station entrance, he understood the kind of crisis and danger his brothers were facing.
Gently pressing on the accelerator, the vehicle’s speed surged amidst roaring sounds.
"Xiaoxin! Over here!"
"Screech!"
Almost simultaneously with Old Xu’s shout, Li Xiaoxin’s right foot stepped hard on the brake pedal.
Instantly, driven by inertia, the heavy Jianghuai vehicle skidded half a length before coming to a stop at the alley’s entrance.
Opening the door and jumping out, Li Xiaoxin fired two shots as he got off; the crisp gunshots were so piercing in the quiet street.
As the gunshots rang out, a ’Runner’ charging at him fell on its back, rolling several meters before it stopped, ending its forward momentum due to its speed.
The commotion outside undoubtedly attracted the attention of the zombies. Those brutes, earlier examining a heap of shattered "rubble" inside the building, now had a new target of interest.
The first to move were naturally the evolved and adapted zombies, with the ’Runners’ leading the charge out of the building.
"Xiao Wang, you get in the driver’s seat, you’ll drive!" Li Xiaoxin shouted, trusting Wang Zhongyu’s driving skills.
The others instinctively ran towards the back of the vehicle.
Hu Xiaodong, holding his bow, assisted Old Xu, occasionally firing a few shots, taking out approaching runners.
Before long, Wei Dazhuang’s shout came from the back of the vehicle, "Alright! Xiao Hu, retreat!"
"Go, Xiao Hu!" Hearing this, Old Xu patted Hu Xiaodong on the shoulder.
Hu Xiaodong didn’t hesitate and ran straight towards the back of the vehicle.
Once everyone was on board, Old Xu stowed his gun and jumped into the driver’s seat.
Wang Zhongyu shifted into gear, and the once-calm Jianghuai vehicle roared to life again.
In the narrow street, with ’Runners’ charging at them, Wang Zhongyu had little time to turn around.
Seeing the excited horde of dozen ’Runners’ rushing towards them, Wang Zhongyu’s eyes reddened slightly, and he pressed the accelerator pedal firmly with his upper lip curled.
"Boom! Boom boom!"
A real expert can drive a truck like it’s a Ferrari.
No one knows who said this, but it’s undeniable that Wang Zhongyu is someone who can make this statement true.
Under his skillful control, the truck’s originally cumbersome acceleration reached its peak in just a few seconds.
The fully powered truck charged directly at the oncoming ’Runners’, but those fools had no intention of giving way.
In the eyes of the zombies, the metal hulk in front was just delivering itself to them, but...
"Bang! Bang bang!" After three collisions, the world became quiet, the zombies’ shrieks ended abruptly, and a few unlucky ones nearby were smashed into bits, leaving no complete corpses.
The vindicated Wang Zhongyu wasn’t carried away by the victory; he dismissed the thought of pursuing them.
After all, the primary task now was escaping, especially given the presence of ’Jumpers’ in the vicinity, Wang Zhongyu really didn’t want another life-and-death "Great Escape" with those beasts.
Quickly shifting gears, once the reverse was engaged, Wang Zhongyu floored the accelerator pedal again.
The Jianghuai vehicle shot backward instantly. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
