Apocalypse: Zombie Elimination Expert

Because it is right next to the bridge, there are hardly any people lingering outside the side garage entrance except for passing vehicles.

Even though a lot of zombies have wandered over these days, their numbers are still less than half of those at the first two exits.

It also allows you to directly cross the river and cross the bridge to reach the city center, unlike the other two routes which require a detour. It seems to be the best direction no matter how you look at it.

But then a problem arose.

The side entrance is located at the garage exit furthest from Building 8.

Even if you drive, it will take at least three minutes to get out.

Normally, driving for three minutes in a garage might not seem like much, but in the current environment, those three minutes are enough to alert all the zombies in the underground garage, causing them to swarm and chase after the two cars, doubling the risk.

Should they choose the exit where they stay in the garage for a shorter time, but there are more zombies outside and the road conditions are more difficult?

I'll choose the exit where I can stay in the garage longer, but there are fewer zombies outside and the road conditions are simpler...

After some discussion, the four of them ultimately chose the latter.

After all, it's better to be safer in a garage than in the outside world.

The garage is only so big, and even if it's troublesome, it's just zombies.

But once you get to the outside world, who knows how many zombies there are, or if there are other obstacles on the road besides zombies.

If you manage to escape the zombies but not the cars parked across the road due to accidents, or the roads blocked by rubble, you'll become a sitting duck.

However, choosing the latter did not mean that they had to force their way into the garage. Chen Tuo had already come up with a solution.

The inspiration came from that sound that suddenly appeared in the garage and lured away the zombies...

"Shu Yao, Jiang Xin, you two pack your things at home. Pack up everything you can take with you. As for what you need to throw away, just follow the categories I mentioned before. If you're really unsure about what to do, you can leave it aside and I'll take care of it."

"Old Zhang, go upstairs and bring down everything you're taking, then come with me to all the rooms again and collect all the alarm clocks and old-fashioned mobile phones..."

Upon hearing this, the three immediately understood his idea.

Zhang Shanhai's eyes lit up. "Brother Chen Tuo, are you planning to use these things to lure the zombies away?"

"That's right!" Chen Tuo nodded.

There are three conditions that trigger zombie alert: the smell of blood, sound, and sight.

Of the three, the smell of blood has the highest priority, while sound and sight are almost equal.

If you can't handle anything with a bloody smell right now, why can't you find the sound?

From the second floor to the thirty-first floor, at least 150 zombies were killed, if not two or three hundred.

Mobile phones are something everyone owns and are a readily available source of sound.

Unfortunately, smartphones require unlocking the screen, so they're useless if you can't unlock them.

But not for basic mobile phones.

And the noise was comparable to that of a loudspeaker.

Throwing them into the quiet, enclosed environment of an underground parking garage is like a bomb that instantly activates the senses of zombies.

In addition, an alarm clock that can set a timer also counts.

This thing is useful not only in the garage, but also outside.

With Chen Tuo at the helm, the three immediately split up and began their work...

……

Because there were so many things to pack and prepare before departure, as it got darker and darker, it was still not all done by nightfall.

Chen Tuo told Shu Yao and Jiang Xin to rest first, and continue cleaning up when it got light tomorrow, saying there was no rush.

Fortunately, after scanning down the 30th floor, we had collected enough information about the source of the sound.

There aren't many elderly people living in Building 8. A total of thirteen mobile phones for the elderly were found, three of which had dead batteries and couldn't be turned on.

This type of battery can only be charged with a universal charger, and even a power bank cannot compensate for it; it must be discarded.

I found quite a few alarm clocks that could make noise, a total of twenty-one.

However, some items were too big, and it was difficult to even carry them downstairs with the other bags, let alone fit them in the luggage, so they had to be abandoned.

However, with a total of more than twenty sources of sound, it was enough to scare away the zombies in a short time.

"It's getting dark, let's get some rest and continue preparing tomorrow. Although we don't necessarily have to leave tomorrow, the water we've collected is almost gone, and the situation outside is much more stable than at the beginning of the zombie outbreak. We should start preparing to leave soon, so it won't hurt to pack our things in advance..."

After Chen Tuo spoke, Jiang Xin and Zhang Shanhai went back to their respective rooms.

After a quick wash, Chen Tuo and Shu Yao went to bed early...

……

Not long after Zhang Shanhai returned to his room, there was a knock on the security door.

When I opened the door, I saw Li Wenwu and Fang Hui standing outside.

Zhang Shanhai frowned slightly.

After helping Li Wenwu one last time, he didn't want to have any further contact with him, given Li Wenwu's past actions.

As for Fang Hui, he hadn't thought much of it at first, but after Chen Tuo said that this woman was full of suspicious points and that he should be careful, Zhang Shanhai also felt that it made sense, so he kept quiet as long as he could.

But just as he was about to send the other person away, and was about to speak...

"Brother Hai..."

Pfft!

Fang Hui immediately knelt down, her face covered in tears.

Zhang Shanhai was bewildered. "What's wrong with you?"

"I...I..."

Fang Hui opened her mouth several times, but choked up and couldn't utter a complete sentence. It was Li Wenwu behind her who calmly explained the reason...

Three minutes later...

"What?"

Zhang Shanhai was shocked. "The survivor next door is Fang Hui's sister? Not only has she not eaten for four or five days, but she also has a high fever? And her boyfriend was bitten to death by the zombies outside the door?"

Li Wenwu nodded, his face heavy. "Xiao Hui risked running across the street yesterday to deliver fever-reducing medicine to her sister on the third floor, but she encountered zombies on the way and had no choice but to come here."

"She originally wanted to tell Taku about this today, but unfortunately Taku... sigh!"

At this point, Li Wenwu sighed deeply.

Zhang Shanhai was taken aback. "That's not right. You said during the day that there was a survivor next door, but you didn't say it was your sister..."

"Brother Hai!" Li Wenwu interrupted Zhang Shanhai, his expression complicated. "We haven't even had a chance to explain in detail yet! I just tried to sound him out by mentioning that there was a survivor next door, but Brother Tuo rejected me on the spot. Do you think I have any chance to continue?"

Zhang Shanhai added, "Then you should tell Brother Chen Tuo the truth. Although he is rather cold-hearted, he is a very good person. If you tell him the truth, he might help you."

Li Wenwu sighed again, "I want to, but as you know, Brother Tuo has a lot of opinions about me, and it seems he also has a lot of opinions about Xiao Hui. If we tell him, he won't believe us, and he might even think we're making things up out of thin air and have some ulterior motive. Besides..."

"Xiao Hui also knew that going there was very risky, so she didn't want us to take the risk and kept it to herself. If I hadn't found out and forced her to come to see you, Brother Hai, I'm afraid she would have never spoken up and lived with guilt for the rest of her life."

In Li Wenwu's words, Fang Hui was portrayed as a woman who risked her life for her sister and was willing to endure suffering alone so as not to implicate others.

Especially since, in her words, her younger sister was also a tragic figure; not only did she have a fever and not eat for three days, but her boyfriend, the only person who tried to go out to find medicine, was bitten to death.

Even with these two unfortunate people together, and despite the numerous flaws in their scheme, Zhang Shanhai was completely fooled and failed to realize that something was amiss.

"We have to hurry and rescue them, otherwise, if we stay too long, they'll either be trapped in the house by zombies or die of illness!"

"Who says otherwise!" Li Wenwu was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

"We need to find Brother Chen Tuo right away and get his advice!"

Zhang Shanhai's first reaction was to go find Chen Tuo. After all, in his eyes, Chen Tuo was not only more capable than himself, but also more quick-witted, so it was safest for him to take action.

Li Wenwu was shocked to hear this and quickly stopped him, "Brother Hai, don't go... Brother Tuo has a problem with the two of us."

"If he not only refuses to go, but also forcibly stops you, and you have a falling out before he leaves, creating a rift between you, then I, as your younger brother, will feel sorry for you."

"Besides, I scouted it out before coming. There are fewer zombies downstairs for some reason. As long as we're fast, we can get there. Xiaohui's sister is on the third floor. There are only two zombies outside the door. As long as we're careful, we'll be fine."

"Besides, Brother Tuo must be exhausted from running around these past few days and is resting now, so it's best if we don't disturb him..."

Zhang Shanhai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Li Wenwu with a hint of disbelief, as if he couldn't understand how Li Wenwu had changed so quickly.

"Wenwu...you've finally changed, you've become more mature."

Li Wenwu laughed, "In this day and age, if we don't change things, we'll just be waiting to die. To be honest, Brother Hai, I've always felt guilty about what I did to you before, and I've been reflecting on myself these past few days."

"Brother Hai, in order not to affect your friendship with Brother Tuo, you'd better not go. I'll go with Xiao Hui. Although it's a bit dangerous for me to go alone, this time, I will not back down."

With that, Li Wenwu pulled Fang Hui away.

Zhang Shanhai stood at the door, staring blankly.

Just as the two were about to reach the corner of the stairwell and disappear from sight, Zhang Shanhai, who had been agonizing over this for a long time, finally caught up with them...
