Chapter 55 Leap to the Death
"Quick, let's get out of here...!"
Sergeant Recon roared loudly, and standing at the door, he was still shooting into the elevator shaft. One hand carried the elevator door frame, and the M4A1 in the other hand jumped in the hand, constantly spewing out the fire tongue. The 10th floor is not as safe as they thought. Several zombies who heard the gunfire were swaying over.
At this time, Michelle and Sami had just left the elevator shaft. Sami and Michelle were holding Ellie's legs and pulling her body away from the elevator shaft.
"Be careful, it's coming down!"
Ellie's oppressive voice came from the radio. With her shouting, a rapid corpse jumping on her was exposed in front of everyone.
"Ah!"
Michelle and Sumi, who were shocked, subconsciously let go, and Ellie's body echoed into the elevator shaft. Sergeant Recon raised the M4A1 assault rifle in his hand and looked nervously at the rapid corpse. Obviously, he wanted to shoot, but he was worried about hurting Ellie. You know, as long as she cuts a little skin, she can't survive in the world of zombies.
"Make way!"
With a low roar, Martin, who was waving a short spear, turned around. His huge body suddenly squeezed Michelle and Sami away. The short spear in his hand is like the bat of the puck he is used to waving, followed by a one-handed thrust.
As an athlete, Martin, coupled with the battle after the biochemical end, made him more agile. The short spear in his hand accurately pierced his tongue and just came out, intending to pierce the rapid corpse of Eli's body. As his short spear was pulled out, a large amount of black corpse ejected out.
He cleverly jumped aside, and he knew that the black corpse was a dangerous substance. Because if there is a big enough wound on the body and enough corpse fluid enters, the person who is splashed will easily be zombified.
After dodging the spray of corpse fluid, he casually took out a beverage bucket from his body. There is a condom in it, and inside the condom is an obvious fuse that can be detonated remotely. Outside the condom, there are some light red **.
Obviously, like Guo Zhenbei and others, if they want to fight with zombies, they always have to master the habits of zombies. Relatively speaking, the more educated people are, the more they can think of these interrelated things in advance. The more people lack adequate education, the more difficult it is to correctly understand the essence of these things.
Of course, this should exclude those uneducated and successful people who appear in "social universities", that is, rolling around in society. But for sure, in the developed country of the United States, it is almost absolutely impossible for an uneducated person to succeed by selling cattle as in the era of Western cowboys.
Even in today's United States, agriculture is still a relatively scientific and technological industry. And there is only one reason why the so-called "success" who are illiterate is how ignorant a country is. The more ignorant the country is, the more illiterate it is. Because in such a country, illiterate people can achieve so-called "success" with a cause that does not require technology at all. The more developed countries are, the more successful people often have good knowledge because of the problem of technical content.
Of course, this is not a look down on illiteracy, but a discussion about whether a country is really developed. Please remember that wealth is not prosperity. Just like Saddam is very rich, but the problem is that he is hanged!
In the roar of the low explosion, the 10th floor of zombies were attracted by the explosion mixed with blood. They shrugged their noses and ran over, which quickly reduced the number of zombies around the five people and safely returned to them.
"Laun me!"
The impatient Ellie roared and stretched her legs straight when the steel cable echoed. Michelle and Sami, who got up from the ground, hugged her legs, and the strong Ellie had managed to get the rapid body down from her body, and then grabbed the door frame of the elevator door with her hand.
"Bang!"
As the elevator door was manually closed, the threat from the elevator disappeared. Most zombies do not open the door, especially the huge number of zombie beasts.
"Hey, I think we should go outside as I said!"
The so-called outside is a long climbing rope fixed outside the building. Although because of the airflow, it will make most zombies not feel their presence. But the winter in New York will not be liked by people outside the building, let alone the glass. In winter, a little moisture will become extremely slippery.
No one answered Sergeant Recon's whispered complaint. Although Ellie, who likes extreme sports, agrees, she is trying to clean up the excess body fluid at this moment, but she can't talk to Sergeant Recon. After cleaning up, when she flashed past Sergeant Recon with the smell of corpse liquid, she said a low voice on the radio.
"I'll lead the way!"
At this time, the zombies are still wandering in the corridor, and the number of zombies on the 10th floor is far more than that on the upstairs. As a large high-rise apartment building, there are not many residents upstairs. It's just that because the biochemical crisis occurred at 6 a.m., many people were turned into zombies by the people around them in their sleep.
But down from the 10th floor, there are more soldiers and other people coming from the street. It should be that after the beginning of the biochemical crisis, the survivors rushed to all the places where there was an army. Looking back now, Ellie feels a little funny. Although the American media is always picking on the problems of the army, almost all people still feel safer around the soldiers at this time.
Ellie walked in front with her bow open. She also has a crossbow at home, but she doesn't like it. She likes to use this kind of recurve bow, and she thinks that the launch speed of the crossbow is too slow at this time.
Ellie, wearing a camouflage net, walked in front of her, and the smell of the corpse liquid on her body was obviously identified by the zombies. At least the zombies who were stabbed into their eyes by her dagger probably thought that Ellie was their kind until their brains were destroyed.
"Quickly, it won't last long!"
The people behind her who were urged by Ellie, looking at her back in a camouflage net, all felt that Ellie in front of them was probably the strongest woman among the survivors. As a female white-collar worker, she is fully educated and is an assistant lawyer in the Wall Street Law Firm. At the same time, she is a free combat enthusiast, including rock climbing, delta and other extreme sports. Finally, she is a beautiful woman with golden red hair, so everyone thinks that she is a leader who is willing to rely on everyone.
Yes, Eli is the leader of their loose, more than 30 survivors. Some people may wonder why it's not Sergeant Recon.
This is probably related to the culture of the United States itself. More people like to believe the words of elected governments or the choices of social elites. For soldiers, although they will be more dependent on them when disaster comes. But in their bones, they always seem to be guarding against these and may turn into tyrannical fighting machines at any time.
There is no need to discuss whether this culture in the United States is correct. Eli is exactly the woman who is a social elite, has strong combat effectiveness, and is well literate of the law. Everyone is willing to place their hopes on her, including Sergeant Recon and Martin. Probably subconsciously, I always think that this person who always takes the law to define everyone's responsibilities is exactly what they are willing to maintain, the law of the United States.
The road down the 10th floor becomes safer, especially after using some lure ammunition mixed with blood, the road becomes easier. In addition to walking on the road full of debris, try to be as light as possible, and try not to touch anything to make noise, the whole operation is quite smooth.
So the next problem lies in the convenience store in front of you.
"It's right under there!"
Like a city in China, a small convenience store like a supermarket is opened in all corners of the city. But when the tide of corpses is surging, what if you can go there!
"I really regret coming to New York!"
It was Michelle who spoke, although she couldn't see her face because she had a gas mask on her face. But from her voice, it can be heard that the experience along the way has made her almost unsustainable. Although she had some courage after shooting, the impact of adrenaline fading was making her feel worse and worse.
"Mi Xueer, think about it, our little baby is still waiting for us to go back!"
Ellie, who was still covered with corpse fluid, looked at the building next to her from a broken glass curtain wall and measured the distance between the building with her eyes. It seems to be at least 15 to 16 meters away, and some of them have to try to jump over. Not only that, they also need to arrange the ropes, which is the way back.
"But who can jump over!"
While Michelle asked a weak question, of course, she did not have that ability, and her eyes fell on the few people in front of her. But when she looked over, almost everyone lowered their heads and did not touch her eyes. Obviously, that's a difficult thing, and even if you go over it, I'm afraid you will hurt your hands and feet.
"Well, I'll try it...!"
Martin looked at the wide distance and measured the height difference between the two buildings. They are located on the 8th floor, and opposite is a five-story apartment building. Look at the short spear in your hand and look at the debris nearby, hoping to find something that can act as a pole.
He felt that he had to "jum up to the death". After all, he fed children with military food, which was not the style of the American!
But soon, it turns out that a person with knowledge in his head and enough imagination and hands-on ability must be a person who can solve problems. Just a few seconds later, Ellie, a lover of extreme sports, came up with a solution.
