Chapter 354

"What's wrong?"

Rick had been controlling Kate and had no time to pay attention to the situation in the room. When he heard Lu Jiayi's words, he looked at him with a puzzled expression. However, before his eyes fell on him, he saw a small square black object on the table.

Intercom.

The other party must have contacted his companions.

This was the first thought that came to Rick's mind.

"Let's go."

Now everyone understood that the reason why Kaiz suddenly became so talkative was probably because he wanted to delay a little longer so that the reinforcements could arrive in time.

The few of them didn't have the energy to continue checking, and the most important thing was to leave here as soon as possible.

As soon as I climbed up to the cabin from below, I heard Daryl's voice.

"Hurry up, guys! There are zombies coming."

Lu Jiayi was shocked when he heard this, but he was not worried about being surrounded. They were all wearing hoods anyway, so it would not be difficult to leave here.

But once they put on the hood, it would inevitably affect their speed. The longer the time dragged on, the more likely an accident would occur.

"Hurry, hurry up, we have to leave here immediately."

However, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone!

Just as they took out the masks and were about to leave, the hum of a propeller was heard in the sky not far away.

The clattering sound made several people feel nervous.

If it is a blessing, there will be no disaster; if it is a disaster, there will be no escape.

All they can do now is to hurry and leave here.

Quickly putting on the hoods, several people climbed over the obstacle at the entrance, then blocked and tightened Kate's mouth, surrounded him in the center, and then walked towards the woods with trepidation.

Don't ever think that you are safe just by wearing a hood. The sky outside is already pitch black, and there is a forest ahead, so it is pitch dark that you can't see your hand in front of you. They have to be extremely careful with every step they take.

The most important thing is that because of the headgear, they are unable to use those individual equipment, which greatly affects the efficiency of their actions.

The last point is Kaiz. Don’t forget that his wrist is broken. Although the wound was stabbed by Lu Jiayi, it is still bleeding. The smell of blood will more or less attract the attention of some zombies.

The Hummer was only two hundred meters away from them, but as luck would have it, after Lu Jiayi walked a few dozen meters forward, he discovered a small group of zombies in front of them. Considering Kaiz's injuries, they could only take a detour.

The journey, which originally took only a few minutes, was stretched to more than twenty minutes. About ten minutes ago, the helicopter had arrived at the wooden house. The white light projected from the fuselage was like a beacon in the dark night.

This light not only attracted the attention of Lu Jiayi and others, but also attracted the attention of the zombies. Coupled with the huge noise of the helicopter, the zombies that were originally moving in other directions turned around and walked towards the light.

What Lu Jiayi and the others didn't know was that not far ahead of them, another wave of zombies had also changed direction, and the direction they chose was right in front of them.

"Damn, it's so dark, I can hardly see anything."

"BIG, stop talking. Do you think your life is too long?"

The six people walked carefully in the woods, and from time to time they looked back at the white light behind them. They could vaguely see black shadows swaying, which were naturally the people who came to support them.

These people have probably discovered the bodies. Plus, the distress signal should have been sent out not long ago, so they should know that they won't go too far and will soon use helicopters to search the area.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiayi couldn't help but ask a few people to speed up.

The six people walked around in a circle, taking one step forward and one step back, before finally approaching the Hummer.

Daryl, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand to block the people behind him, then lowered his voice to remind them that there were zombies in front.

"I can't see clearly, but from the sound it seems there aren't that many, probably a few dozen."

Although he couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, Lu Jiayi knew that they were all looking at him. After thinking for a few seconds, he decided to take a gamble.

"Let's go through. Glenn, help Rick keep an eye on this guy. Don't let anything get into trouble."

"clear."

The five men pulled their hoods down, then slowed down their movements and walked straight into the darkness ahead.

At this time, the noise of the helicopter at the wooden house suddenly became louder. Lu Jiayi looked from afar and saw a beam of white light slowly rising. The other party took off, but he didn't know what they would do next.

Are they going back to their base? Or are they planning to search the surrounding area?

While thinking about it, the Hummer was getting closer and closer, with only fifty meters left, and at the same time they were surrounded by the zombies.

Several people staggered among the zombies. Even though they were all wearing hoods, they still carefully avoided the zombies that were very close.

Just after they moved forward another ten meters, an accident happened.

After the helicopter took off, the white light gradually disappeared, and the dim moonlight could hardly shine into the woods. Daryl, who could still see some things, felt like he was no different from being blind.

The approaching Hummer made him relax his vigilance a little. At this moment, a zombie emerged from behind a tree and bumped into Daryl.

The zombie lost his balance and fell to the ground, but this was not the end.

Because they had lost their target, the sound of the helicopter kept echoing in the woods, causing the zombie horde to fall into chaos in an instant, and many zombies began to run around like headless flies.

As luck would have it, a few zombies that had just walked past them turned around and walked back. At this time, Crossbow happened to bump into the zombie, and the zombie fell to the ground and crushed a dead branch.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and the zombies wandering around all came over here, but the few people didn't notice at all because they couldn't see.

Just when the group of zombies was still about ten meters away from them, Daryl finally realized that something was wrong and there seemed to be movement in front.

The next second, without his reminder, everyone noticed a small group of zombies appearing in front of them.

But at this point, they had no choice but to keep going.

Daryl felt the zombies around him constantly hitting his shoulders and arms, and the six of them were gradually surrounded by the zombies.

However, they still relied on the advantage of the masks and did not panic. They just carefully squeezed away the zombies that were too close. But would things really go so smoothly?

“Roar~”

For some reason, a zombie suddenly growled at Rick and then pounced on him.

The latter dodged in panic, but the zombie's target was not him at all, but Kez who was beside him.

puff!

Although Lu Jiayi, who was standing at the back, couldn't see clearly, he reacted quickly. He kicked the zombie in the abdomen with such force that it flew backwards and made a noise when it fell to the ground.

Daryl vaguely saw that many dark shadows around them all changed direction and rushed towards them. His scalp suddenly went numb, and he didn't care about it anymore, so he opened his mouth to remind them.

"Run, they're coming."

The one who reacted the fastest was Lu Jiayi. He put on the night vision device immediately, then drew his knife and rushed to the front. The others also quickened their pace and hurriedly took out their night vision goggles.

There were still more than thirty meters left, a distance that was nothing on normal days, but at this moment, facing the zombies that kept rushing towards them from both sides, the few of them felt like they were caught in a countercurrent and could hardly move forward for a while.

Kez was the only person in the crowd who had no ability to resist. Without night vision equipment, he could only hear constant roars coming from all around him, but could not see anything. Fear gradually came over him, and he trembled all over as he followed Rick closely, fearing that he would be knocked to the ground by the zombies in the next second.

The horde of zombies in front was becoming more and more dense. Lu Jiayi tried his best, but was still suppressed by these monsters and could not move. At this point, he could no longer break out by simply using a knife.

Picking up the gun behind him, Lu Jiayi shouted.

"shot!"

Suddenly, a burst of intensive gunfire was heard from the muzzle of a silenced gun. The sound of gunfire could be heard from far away, and immediately the zombies that were about to walk to the wooden house were attracted and turned around to walk towards this side.

In fact, the silencer is not as effective in filtering out sounds as it is in the movies. Some small-caliber pistols can still have a good effect after being equipped with a silencer, but it is limited to the sound of bullets being fired. It can play a good concealment role, but this effect is greatly reduced when it is used on assault rifles.

Of course, it cannot be said that it is completely useless. The silencer does a very good job of concealing the muzzle flame, and the sound is only a little duller than without a silencer, that's all.

Five assault rifles opened fire at the same time, and the group of zombies in front seemed to have hit an invisible wall. Immediately afterwards, there was a dense sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. The gunshots lasted only ten seconds. From the flames from the muzzles of the guns, it could be seen that a passable space had been cleared in front.

Not daring to waste time, Lu Jiayi immediately ordered to rush over. Rick stretched out his hand to grab something beside him, but found nothing. When he turned around, there was no trace of Kaiz. It turned out that he had already escaped in the chaos.

However, this was not the time to hesitate. Even though Rick was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and run towards the Hummer.

After getting into the car safely, Lu Jiayi immediately shifted the car into reverse gear. The engine made a loud roar and the car body suddenly rushed backwards. Everyone in the car was also pushed forward by the sudden acceleration. Glenn, in a panic, even bumped into the front of the co-pilot seat.

Two minutes later, the Hummer was already on the road. Lu Jiayi didn't dare turn on the headlights. After all, there was a helicopter somewhere and he didn't know where it was. If the other party hadn't left yet, turning on the headlights would be a clear warning to the other party.

Hey, I'm here, come and catch me.

After driving a few hundred meters, Lu Jiayi stopped the car on the side of the road, then he picked up his rifle and jumped out of the car.

"Lu, what are you doing?"

Under the puzzled gazes of several people, Lu Jiayi walked to the rear of the car, then swung the butt of the gun and smashed it hard on the rear headlight, then moved to the other side and hit it again, until the headlight was smashed, and then he returned to the cab again.

"For safety's sake."

The others nodded silently, and the car fell into silence for a while. Rick's expression changed, and he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. After a while, he couldn't help but spoke out.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't keep an eye on that guy and let him get away."

After saying that, he looked at the co-pilot again.

"Glenn, I promise to find their base and rescue Leon. He..."

However, before he could finish his words, Lu Jiayi suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car made a sharp turn and rushed into the woods beside the road again.

"What's wrong?"
