Chapter 173: Passage into the city!
Lu Linglong walked quickly to Xiao Muyang, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Is there something I can help with this time?"
Xiao Muyang raised his lips slightly, staring at Lu Linglong who looked expectant, and said softly: "As long as you are not afraid of zombies......"
When Lu Linglong heard this, she immediately perked up.
Her eyes widened and she answered without hesitation: "I'm definitely not afraid!"
At the same time, she patted her chest vigorously and said confidently: "It's okay, leave it to me!"
"Boy, let's talk later. I'm going to go find Ren Fei, the person in charge of Huazhong first." Lu Jin said to Xiao Muyang.
"Okay, Mr. Lu." Xiao Muyang responded softly.
Lu Jin nodded, gestured to Xiao Muyang, and then followed Clarinet to find Ren Fei.
"Brother Xiao, is that zombie really invulnerable to swords and guns?" Lu Lin opened her big eyes and looked at Xiao Muyang with curiosity.
Xiao Muyang turned around and thought for a moment.
“Well, I would say…Since they became hairy zombies, their skin and bones have become extremely hard and can withstand attacks from most conventional weapons.” Xiao Muyang said calmly.
"Ordinary weapons pose almost no threat to them."
Xiao Muyang paused, looked at the time, and continued: "It's already this late, you haven't eaten yet?"
"Brother Xiao, now that you said that, I realized that I'm really hungry..."
"I haven't eaten since I got off the plane."
Lu Linglong stuck out her tongue and said playfully.
"Let's go, I'll take you guys for a meal."
After Xiao Muyang finished speaking, he led the two of them towards the Li family.
......................
Night falls and the stars are shining.
Xiao Muyang lay leisurely on the grass outside his residence, feeling the tranquility and comfort of the night.
He turned to look at Tie Niu beside him and asked softly, "Tie Niu, has Professor Li Weiliang made any new discoveries?"
Tie Niu thought for a moment and replied, "We have carefully checked several caves outside the village today, but there are still several caves that have not been checked yet."
"However, I believe that it won't take a few days to find the cave entrance you mentioned."
Xiao Muyang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Then he lit a little happy, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the smoke, and looked up at the endless starry sky.
At this time, Lu Linglong came over and gently sat next to Xiao Muyang. They looked up at the starry sky together and said intoxicatedly: "The air here is really fresh. It is a world of difference compared to the polluted air in the city."
"Besides, this starry sky is so beautiful. The twinkling stars make me feel so much happier..."
Xiao Muyang responded with a smile: "As long as you like it."
Just as a few people were quietly enjoying this rare leisure time, Black Tube ran towards Xiao Muyang and others in a hurry.
His face revealed an expression of tension and anxiety.
"Mu Yang! Groups of zombies have been found on the road leading to the city again!" Hei Guaner said, panting.
Hearing this, Xiao Muyang frowned slightly.
"There are quite a lot of them... and the team guarding there doesn't have any large-caliber lethal weapons, and there have been casualties." Hei Guaner continued, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
Then, Hei Guaner continued, "Ren Fei's manager asked me to come and tell you if you have time to go over and help?"
Xiao Muyang stared at the black pipe that had obviously come to inform him, and responded: "These two days, these zombies have appeared too frequently..."
Clarinet nodded in agreement: "Yes, that's true."
"However, thanks to you, if you hadn't told Ren Fei about your guess this morning, I don't think we would have realized the importance of the passage to the city!"
"Okay, I'll go over and take a look. Tell Ren Fei that I'll get there as soon as possible." Xiao Muyang answered decisively.
After saying that, he quickly stood up and prepared to go to the scene of the incident.
When Xiao Muyang realized that Tie Niu was following him, he turned around and said, "Tie Niu, don't follow me. Tomorrow morning, continue to protect Professor Li Weiliang and the others and find the cave entrance that Liu Mang mentioned as soon as possible."
"I understand, uncle."
Hearing this, Tie Niu stopped and nodded.
"Brother Xiao, wait for me, I'm going too!"
Lu Linglong looked at Xiao Muyang who was getting farther and farther away, stood up and hurriedly followed him, waving her hands and shouting.
"Wait, I'm going too!"
Lu Lin also followed closely behind Lu Linglong and chased after Xiao Muyang.
......................
A checkpoint more than 20 miles away from the city.
"Zhang Lian, is the reinforcement coming soon? We can't hold on any longer!"
The man holding an automatic rifle and desperately scanning the group of zombies not far away shouted anxiously to Zhang Lian who was also shooting.
"Stop talking nonsense! Even if you can't hold it, you have to hold it up for me!"
"The company's support is coming!"
While squatting down to change the magazine, Zhang Lian shouted to the team around him.
In the team, a man named Wang Yu, after taking a glance at the zombies that were barely pushed back a little by their firepower, frowned and shouted to his teammates: "Our current firepower can only slightly stop the zombies from advancing!"
"But, at the rate we're using ammunition now, we might have to face these damn zombies in ten minutes!"
"Stop saying these discouraging words, and hit him hard while you still have ammunition!"
"We must not let these zombies step over us!"
"Otherwise, what will happen to the people in the city?"
After changing the magazine, Zhang Lian stood up and continued shooting at the group of zombies.
"Zhang Lian is right!"
"We are the first line of defense against the people!"
Liu Xing, the deputy company commander of the squad, responded and cheered up his teammates.
"Kill that zombie with blood on the corner of its mouth. It was this son of a bitch that sucked all the blood from Huihong and the others!!!"
The team's machine gunner nicknamed "Gunpowder" was holding the only machine gun in the team and madly shooting at the zombie that had just killed several of his teammates.
"Fuck him!"
Following Gunpowder's angry roar, several team members around him pointed their guns at the zombie that was being given special attention!
.........
"Roar!"
Several sharp roars suddenly rang out, and the zombies stopped advancing and moved slightly to the left and right.
"This is........."
Zhang Lian's team looked at the five more oppressive zombies that jumped out from the shadows behind the zombie group, and sweat immediately broke out on their backs.
