Chapter 49 Zombie in a Suit
Thanks to the armored vehicle, they were able to carefully circle the entire wildlife park in just an hour and a half. It wasn't even noon yet. They drove the armored vehicle to the side of the road next to the Republic of China-style internet-famous street, ate some biscuits in the vehicle, and began to repeatedly check the route into the convenience store warehouse.
When the zombies destroyed their G-Wagon parked at the hotel, Gu Nanfeng realized that the zombies probably wanted to wipe them out without any protection and turn them into allies.
Their tour of the wildlife park in armored vehicles was something the zombies hadn't anticipated, but they would have to get out of the armored vehicles to enter the convenience store warehouse in the trendy street.
The two trendy streets are about the same distance from the warehouse, but when they made their plans yesterday, they chose the Republic of China Street. Although the buildings are dense there, the streets are wider. The Ancient Style Street, although the buildings are not as dense, has various small bridges and streams, and is not easy to walk on because of its style.
From the intersection where they are currently parking, the straight-line distance to the warehouse is less than 500 meters, but because of the dense buildings, they have drawn several routes.
They had originally planned to take the shortest route, which was only about 600 meters from the warehouse. However, this area had the most densely packed buildings and the narrowest roads, with some sections only wide enough for two or three people to pass side by side. Moreover, the dense buildings meant there were more places for zombies to ambush them. Now that they knew there were at least a hundred zombies in the park, taking this route was extremely unsafe.
Finally, on the advice of Gu Nanfeng and Lin Yun, they chose the longest route, which also had the widest road. This route passed through the central square of the Republic of China town, and it was a main road all the way. The buildings on both sides were not tall and were originally shops, so the view was much better than the other two routes.
After eating and drinking to replenish their energy, Lu Yuan distributed arrows according to the crossbow bolts they had each chosen, and they prepared to move out.
Qin Yuan and Lin Yun first looked around with binoculars in the car and got out first after confirming that they had not found any zombies. Lu Yuan and the others got out one after another. Finally, Pei Sihao locked the car door, and the group of seven surrounded Lu Yuan in a six-pointed star formation.
This formation was something they had discussed for a long time. One reason was to protect Lu Yuan, who was serving as a warehouse. Another reason was that if Lu Yuan was in the middle, they wouldn't have to worry about zombie attacks when he took things out of his spatial storage after running out of arrows.
Although Lu Yuan didn't like being overprotected like this, he was indeed as important as they said, so he accepted being protected like this until he became strong enough.
They moved swiftly in a six-pointed star formation and soon reached the central square. They didn't see any zombies along the way. Next, they would enter through a small path on the right side of the square. The path was slightly narrower, but it didn't affect their formation. After passing through this path for about three or four hundred meters, they would reach the warehouse.
"Let's go!" Qin Yuan gestured, indicating that they needed to press on with their momentum.
Just as the group was about to turn into the side road, a zombie appeared on the roof of one of the buildings. It was the same zombie in a suit that they had observed with binoculars the day before.
Lu Yuan stood in the middle of their group, and when he looked up, he saw it. Just like in his dream, he met the eyes of this zombie once again.
At that very moment, Lu Yuan saw the zombie's lips move, as if issuing some command, and countless zombies appeared from all directions, attacking them.
"This way!" Lin Yun reacted quickly. He rushed to the corner of the alley and pushed open the door of an ice cream shop. He had marked this shop on the map before. Even if there were zombies lurking in this kind of small shop, there would only be one or two. So he silently memorized this place.
Pei Sihao followed behind Lin Yun. The moment the door opened, a zombie that pounced out was instantly blown off its head by Pei Sihao. After confirming that there were no other zombies, the others filed in. Qin Yuan was the last to run in and close the door.
The shop was small, with only a counter a little over a meter long inside. Behind it were three large, heavy ice cream making machines, and in front was a door and a small table for sugar. That was all. After the seven people went inside, they quickly moved behind the counter and aimed their crossbows at the small window and door.
Just as they were getting ready, zombies rushed up from outside, banging on the door and trying to break it down. Although this was a theme park, it was still a shop, and the door was quite secure. So, some zombies started hitting the windows next to it.
The shop was a building in the style of the Republic of China era, and the windows were the old-fashioned kind with lattice windows. The zombies smashed the glass panes one by one, but since there were no first-generation or second-generation zombies with higher intelligence among them, they had not yet successfully opened the windows.
Qin Yuan and Lin Yun had already started shooting with crossbows, and Pei Sihao and Zhong Qiang joined in. Any zombie whose head was visible from the window was blown off by them.
The number of zombies outside the shop dwindled rapidly, and they became even more agitated, frantically pounding on the shop's door.
Gu Nanfeng discovered that one of the ice cream machines behind the ice cream shop was movable, with a side door behind it. There were no zombies in this direction, so he, Lu Yuan, and Yang Xiao crouched down and slowly moved the ice cream machine to avoid making too much noise and alerting the zombies outside.
The side door was revealed. Gu Nanfeng gestured to Lu Yuan to bring out some fresh meat. His plan was to restrain the zombies outside for thirty seconds after they rushed in, which would be enough time for the seven of them to run to the warehouse.
Just as Lu Yuan and his group were setting things up, the zombie in the suit appeared outside. It reached out and opened the latch on the small window, and several first-generation zombies climbed into the store. Under the zombie in the suit's instructions, they did not attack Qin Yuan and his group first, but instead went to the store entrance and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the zombie in the suit commanded the other zombies to rush in. As soon as they entered, they were met with several large clumps of bloody cow offal. Lu Yuan hadn't expected to find this in his space before he took it out.
The fresh blood attracted the zombies' attention. Whether they were first-generation or second-generation zombies, they were all inevitably affected by the blood. In just a few seconds, Lu Yuan and his group of seven quickly retreated through the side door. As they retreated, Lu Yuan threw out a few bloody pig offal and a small gift. Then he quickly closed the side door and followed Gu Nanfeng and the others towards the warehouse.
Some zombies, who hadn't even had a chance to enter the ice cream shop, ran in the direction they were running. Before they even reached the side door, they were blown to bits along with the zombies inside the ice cream shop with a loud "bang."
