Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

"A group of... survivors next door?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tuo looked puzzled and turned to look at Shu Yao.

Shu Yao understood what he meant and, without any hesitation, immediately said, "They were talking quietly in the back, so I couldn't hear them. However, the two of them left briefly at one point, saying they were going to the restroom, but I don't know exactly what they did."

Chen Tuo turned his gaze to Fang Hui, "How did you find out? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

A hint of panic flashed across Fang Hui's face, but she quickly explained, "I'm the property manager of our community. I have the contact information of many people. Before the signal was cut off, I contacted quite a few residents, so I know the location of some survivors. As for why I didn't mention it... that's why I just said it."

"If that's the case, why didn't you go to the survivors next door in the first place, but instead ran over here?" Chen Tuo's gaze remained fixed on her.

Fang Hui was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Li Wenwu quickly chimed in, "There were a lot of zombies chasing Xiaohui at the time. The situation was too urgent. Only we reacted the fastest, which is why she could only run towards us."

Fang Hui immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, I had made an appointment with the people next door a long time ago, but they were delayed by some things and couldn't open the glass door downstairs in time, so I had to run to Unit 1."

Chen Tuo didn't say anything more, but just glanced at the two of them indifferently.

He then picked up his backpack from the ground, showing no interest in even learning about the survivors next door, and went straight upstairs.

"I have my own things to do and I don't have time. Do you want to go find the survivor next door? It's up to you."

"Also, I'm very suspicious. You can go, but absolutely do not try to bring anyone here, otherwise it will easily cause unpleasantness..."

Shu Yao and Jiang Xin both followed Chen Tuo, and since they didn't like Li Wenwu and Fang Hui to begin with, they immediately went after them.

Zhang Shanhai also knew what to do next.

Now that the underground parking garage has been explored, it's time to pack up what needs to be packed and devise a plan to escape the community.

With time running out and the task at hand, there was no time to investigate the survivors next door.

Although he has a strong sense of justice, he's not the kind of mindless saint who wants to save everyone and help everyone indiscriminately.

If you see injustice, you will naturally want to step in and help.

But I didn't see it... so I didn't see it.

There are quite a few survivors in the community; it's simply unrealistic to rescue them all one by one.

Cats have their ways, mice have theirs, and in this apocalyptic world, everyone has their own rules for survival...

Furthermore, he felt that he had done everything he could for Li Wenwu, and their friendship essentially ended with clearing out the building.

He didn't want to get involved any more, so he simply picked up his backpack and followed them upstairs...

After the others left, only Fang Hui and Li Wenwu remained downstairs, and a hint of sorrow appeared on Fang Hui's face.

"Didn't you say that as long as we asked, Chen Tuo wouldn't guarantee anything, but your Brother Hai wouldn't refuse? Why is it different from what we expected? How are we going to explain this to Brother Hua Lian?"

Li Wenwu didn't speak, but his face was covered in iron dust, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

Chen Tuo's refusal is understandable.

But he never expected that Zhang Shanhai, who used to take such good care of him and almost always obeyed his every word, would completely ignore him.

Is this a genuine intention to sever all ties with oneself?

Remembering the promise he made to Hua Lian during their phone call, he knew this was his pledge of loyalty, and if anything went wrong, things would get tough for him.

"The plan needs to be revised. I've thought of a new way. Come on, grab the walkie-talkie, let's go back to the third floor again. I need to talk to Brother Painted Face..."

……

Sixteenth floor.

Chen Tuo, Shu Yao, Jiang Xin, and Zhang Shanhai sat around the table.

Chen Tuo casually sketched out a draft, laying out the intelligence and ideas he currently had one by one.

"We've figured out the situation in the underground parking garage. The area we can see is probably no less than a hundred animals. As for those further away, we don't know yet."

"The bad news is that there are a lot of zombies, even more than on the ground in the neighborhood. The good news is that both cars are very close. Even Jiang Xin's car, after checking it out in person, isn't that far. It's just that getting in the car will be a little risky..."

In Chen Tuo's plan, both cars must be fully open; neither can be missing.

If you only drive Zhang Shanhai's SUV, the risk is undoubtedly the lowest; you can get in and leave immediately.

It's definitely possible to break through the scattered zombies along the way before most of them gather.

But with only one SUV, there's not much you can carry.

With the four of them sitting in the car, they could only stuff their belongings into the trunk, and most of the supplies they had collected had to be discarded.

If we add Jiangxin's Raptor to the mix, these concerns will completely disappear.

Another point that Chen Tuo cares about most is... the margin for error.

With the apocalypse now in full swing, the city is filled with zombies and debris, and the roads are no longer as good as they used to be.

It's not quite comparable to the wilderness, but you could easily get stuck in various construction debris and zombie corpses at any time.

If they only drive one car and it breaks down halfway, and there's no one to fix it, they'll have to keep going on foot.

In contrast, driving two cars in tandem significantly reduces the risk.

If one vehicle is destroyed, at least there's another one to keep up.

Moreover, the Raptor's durability is far superior to that of ordinary SUVs...

As for how to load the bags of supplies into the car in the zombie-infested parking lot, Chen Tuo had already figured it out when he went upstairs.

First, all the supplies were loaded into the nearest Volkswagen SUV, which Zhang Shanhai drove alone. With only the driver in the driver's seat, the size of the mid-size SUV was more than enough to fit everything.

Chen Tuo had a lot of faith in Zhang Shanhai's character; he wouldn't stoop to running away with the supplies alone.

As for Chen Tuo and the other two, they went to drive the raptors.

As long as you follow today's route slowly, you should be able to avoid alerting the zombies.

As for how to get on the bus by crossing the aisle in the middle...

Rush straight in!

Anyway, the noise from ignition will alert the zombies, so a few seconds in the morning or a few seconds at night doesn't matter. As long as you quickly get into the car and close the door, a dozen or so zombies under the Raptor's wheels are no different from a speed bump.

At that time, the Raptor will lead the way, followed closely by SUVs.

Unless there's a dense wall of zombies several meters thick blocking the way, ordinary zombies simply can't stop this "land tank".

The only challenge now is how to get out of the underground parking garage...

Don't be fooled by the fact that there's a garage entrance not far from Building 8; that's actually the back gate of the complex.

Outside is the famous night market street in the vicinity, where many people stroll, drink, and eat barbecue until two or three in the evening.

This also resulted in that street having the most people and the most zombies after the zombie outbreak.

Their numbers far exceed those of underground parking garages.

A muscle car like the Raptor with its high chassis and large wheels might be able to break through, but Zhang Shanhai's mid-size SUV, even if it's just following behind, might get stuck by the zombies underground.

Including the garage exit, which is the second closest to the main entrance of the community, there are also many shops and vendors outside.

Although there aren't as many zombies as the former, there are still quite a few, and similar problems will still occur.

The parking lot exit at the side gate is actually the most suitable...
