Chapter 24 Rescue
"It's almost gone." Chen Ergou looked down at the oil gauge. The "Thorn" had been running outside for a whole day, but no living survivor noticed it.
According to the addresses provided by the survivor camps, the Tiger Squad ran almost every street and alley in Changsha City, but reality was always playing hide-and-seek with the team members. Zhao Qiang began to doubt whether the reports on the missing population in those camps were true.
Zhao Qiang never regretted establishing the Survivors Alliance. In his opinion, every life is precious. The purpose of establishing this alliance is to allow more people to be protected and prevent the spark of human beings from being cut off.
"There is another place. If we don't find it again, we will evacuate." Zhao Qiang looked at the map. The next marking point was not far from its current location. If there were really missing people there, they would die in despair because they gave up their actions. Zhao Qiang would never feel at ease.
The last search was still a failure. Hundreds of zombies were wandering aimlessly on the streets around the target location. The sudden appearance of the Thorns scared them and then rushed towards the Thorns.
"Okay, let's go home." The disappointed Zhao Qiang had to give up the search operation. The performance of the zombies has shown that there is no possibility of missing persons in this area.
"The base calls the Tiger Squad, and the base calls the Tiger Squad!" A call from the base came from the headset.
"This is the Tiger Squad, what's the matter?" Zhao Qiang pressed the call button. The base rarely calls when the team is performing tasks.
"The survivor camp was attacked by zombies and needed support."
"Received, please tell us the specific location."
"Hexi University Town, near Hunan University, switch to Channel 4, you can talk to them."
"Received, we will go immediately after replenishing the fuel."
Zhao Qiang adjusted the intercom channel channel, and a shrill cry for help came from his headphones, "We were attacked." "There are too many of them, we can't stop it."
"This is the Survivors League Tigers Team, we are on the way, and the expected arrival time is 10 minutes."
"Hurry up, I'm afraid we won't last for that long!" In the headphones, the roar of the smasher had already reached the ears of the team members along the radio waves.
After closing the communication, Zhao Qiang's mood became heavy. The survivor camp consisted of a group of frightened students. Thanks to the school's consideration of student safety, they hid in the dormitory building with tight barriers and survived to this day. Because the disaster happened, it was approaching the winter vacation. Most of the students had already returned to their hometown after the exam. There were not many students left in the dormitory. More than ten students who had survived the disaster hid here and leaned on the food in the convenience store to persist.
According to the schedule, the Survivors Alliance, which moved to Jianglu Machinery Factory, originally planned to rescue the survivors after they were settled, but unexpectedly, the process had to be advanced.
In ten minutes, too many things can happen. When the Thorns were speeding, the battle was coming to an end. The students had no guns, so they could only sharpen the wooden sticks and make simple spears to fight against the zombies. The strategy they adopted was simple but also seemed to have some effect. Several strong students, as the main defensive force, used spears to deal with the zombies in the front, while other students kept using tables, chairs, benches and other debris to block the zombies' progress.
Even so, the students' defense line has reached the last floor of the 6-story dormitory building, and more than a dozen students have no choice but to retreat. The expressions of despair and fear have occupied these young faces. The boys' resistance does not seem to have much effect. Several simple spears have been taken away by the zombies, and the last layer of defense is about to be broken through. Several timid female students are already crying.
"Tiger, where are you?" Zhang Jun was so tired that he was almost exhausted. With high-intensity combat and malnutrition, Zhang Jun's body was extremely weak.
Even today, even if the strictest food control was implemented, the last bit of food had been eaten. In order to find food, several healthy sports students ventured out. At first, it went smoothly, and each of the older boys ran back with a large bag of food.
The good times didn't last long. Less than 50 meters away from the dormitory gate, the boys' good luck came to the end. A group of zombie dogs that came out of nowhere instantly took away these young lives. Zhang Jun would never forget that the big boy named Wang Hao endured the severe pain of being bitten by the zombie dog at the last moment and stuffed the pack of precious food into the gap in the iron gate.
Soon, the army of zombies rushed from all directions. A small iron door was as vulnerable as paper in front of the crusher. Zhang Jun had no choice but to endure the grief and lead the students to pile up everything they could use in the corridor, use the sharpened wooden sticks as spears, and stabbed the zombies that were constantly removing obstacles through the gaps between the obstacles.
"Stand for another 2 minutes, we will arrive soon." On the intercom, the man's voice was so calm, but Zhang Jun sounded like a death notice. In 2 minutes, the terrifying face of the smasher could be seen through the gaps between the table and chairs. Zhang Jun tightly held the food that his classmate exchanged for his life, and the other students also shrank into a ball.
"Will you avenge us?" Zhang Jun was completely desperate. He could already feel the airflow from the zombies' big mouths that emitted foul smell hit his face. He didn't want to die, nor did he want to become these disgusting monsters in front of him after death. However, the rescue team had 2 minutes left, and the zombies were less than 2 meters away from him.
In despair, Zhang Jun suddenly heard a shrill sirens coming from outside. The sound that once felt so harsh sounded so beautiful for the first time, and the attack of the zombie army also stagnated with the harsh sound.
"They are here to save us!" Zhang Jun jumped up without knowing where the strength came from, and crawled into one dormitory after another like crazy, moving out the bed boards, desks, chairs and other things inside, piled them up behind the roadblocks. After being infected by him, several girls who had already cried and jumped up and joined Zhang Jun's team.
The gunshots of ping-pong sounded like beans, and the attention of the zombie army was attracted by the sudden invaders. Gradually, the gunshots were getting closer and closer...
