After receiving Pang Le's reminder, the group quickly arrived at the second floor of the hotel.
Huan Chu walked up to Pang Le and looked into the distance through the window. On the ground floor, the perimeter of the hotel is blocked by a wall, making it impossible to see unless one comes to the front gate of the hotel. There was no such restriction on the second floor, and taking advantage of the raging fire still burning in the parking lot, Huan Chu easily saw the situation around him.
Even though he was as calm as ever, he couldn't help but take a sharp breath.
It may be an exaggeration to say that all the zombies in the entire Shangcheng County have gathered, but at this moment, on the outside of the wall, there are countless zombies of all kinds, even when they were in the capital, Huan Chu and Chen Wenwen had never seen such a large-scale zombie army.
The zombies gathered together, slowly advancing towards the hotel. Under the moonlight, their faces appeared even paler, and their exposed organs looked more sinister than during the day, resembling the eerie and terrifying creatures described in ghost stories of a night parade of one hundred demons.
And the horde of no less than five hundred zombies seemed to be controlled by something, as not a single zombie emitted the iconic low growl from their mouths. Apart from the slightly noisy footsteps, the entire zombie horde made no other sound.
If some superstitious elders saw this scene, they would probably think it's a procession of ghosts and stay indoors out of fear.
Kehuan Chu saw through all of this at a glance. It is obvious that the high-level zombies in this small town are commanding the low-level zombies to launch a surprise attack on them under the cover of night.
At the thought of this, Zhang Jing's fair face appeared in his mind, causing a pang in Huanchu's heart, and he sighed inwardly. Zhang Jing, I have never done you wrong, why are you trying to destroy me?
Chen Wenwen looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but laugh. She pushed Huan Chu and said, "Look at you, always trying to scheme against others. This time you got what you deserved." If you hadn't insisted on driving those people away, we would have more manpower now. "
The queen is indeed the queen, she can still make jokes in such situations. Although not a particularly funny joke, it did bring Huan Chu back to reality.
The confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, and he quickly regained his calm and rationality. He glanced at Chen Wenwen, ignored his words, turned his head to face Lu Hao, and asked, "Lao Lu, is the hotel's front door locked?" "
Alright, don't worry. Just now before coming up, Lu Hao had already received instructions from Huan Chu to close the iron gate of the hall. But the iron gate of this hotel is only for anti-theft purposes, and it is unknown how long it can withstand the siege of zombies. To be on the safe side, Lu Hao also piled up the remaining furniture in the hall behind the door. Although not very useful, it is an extra layer of insurance after all.
Huan Chu naturally believed in Lu Hao's ability to handle things and did not ask any further. In such a large-scale battle, Heizi did not play a significant role, so Huan Chu simply let it hide in a guest room on the second floor with Lu Xiaohu. Then they began to assign tasks to the remaining four people: 'The sniper mission on the second floor will be handled by Pang Le.' Lezi, remember, if we can't hold on, you take Xiaohu and Heizi and run away, understand? "
Upon hearing Huan Chu's words, Pang Le nodded and shook his head, indicating that he accepted the assassination mission but was unwilling to leave Huan Chu behind to escape. In fact, Huan Chu's words were just a consolation for himself. Everyone knew that they were almost surrounded on all sides and had little chance of escaping. Seeing Pang Le's disagreement, Huan Chu could only pat his shoulder and stop mentioning the matter, leading the queen and Lao Lu back to the first-floor hall.
The three of them were busy for a while, searching through all the guest rooms for useful items, even using bedding and towels, and finally, under Lu Hao's guidance, they built a crude fortification by the counter as the last line of defense.
After contacting Pang Le through the walkie-talkie again, Huan Chu looked at the two people beside him.
Luhao was previously trapped in the hospital, on the verge of collapse due to the unbearable feeling of being helpless and waiting to die. However, now he appears calm with a gun in his hand and comrades by his side, carefully adjusting the Type 79 submachine gun hanging on his body, showing no signs of nervousness as if a big battle is imminent.
Chen Wenwen held a hairpin in her mouth, combed her previously loose hair again, tied it into a ponytail behind her head, took off the leather jacket that was somewhat obstructive, wore only a sports vest, made sure she had no burden on her body, then emptied the gun and ammunition from her backpack and placed them within easy reach.
Huan Chu saw the calm demeanor of the two people and couldn't help but laugh at himself for being overly suspicious. It seemed unnecessary to say a few words to boost morale as he had originally planned.
Everyone present is smart enough to know that we can only fight to the death now. Facing those monsters, there is not even a chance to surrender, so there is no need for Huan Chu to boost morale.
Huan Chu lit a cigarette, slung his Type 95 automatic rifle over his shoulder, and walked up the stairs. He found a window with no blind spots, brought his right eye to the optical scope on the rifle, and began searching for his first target.
Kepang Le did not give him the opportunity to fire the first shot. He received orders from Huan Chu to kill all creatures entering the parking lot. At this moment, he stared fixedly at the door of the hotel, and as soon as a zombie with the uniform of Shangcheng County First High School took a step into the parking lot, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
With a bang, the leading zombie fell to the ground. The whistling sound of bullets cutting through the air and the splattering of blood from the dead zombies also excited the relatively calm zombies.
Just like poking a hornet's nest, all the zombies lost their minds in an instant, roaring and rushing towards the parking lot. Huan Chu had never heard the sound of hundreds of zombies roaring at the same time before. It was as ear-piercing as the sound of ducks quacking, making Huan Chu slightly anxious and flustered.
Pang Leisi was not affected at all, with a calm expression on her face. Without aiming, her finger never left the trigger, gently moving the rifle body. The Type 95 automatic rifle immediately roared with a 'da da' sound, with flashes of fire at the muzzle, and the zombies that first entered the parking lot fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this scene, Huan Chu cursed silently at the pervert, and did not shoot. Instead, he used the scope to search for a figure, a figure in white as pure as snow, a figure that he would never forget in his lifetime. In just a few seconds, Huan Chu was disappointed as he did not find the woman among the zombies. All he saw were pale faces with a grim and lifeless expression.
Apparently those higher-level zombies are just hiding somewhere giving orders to the zombies, and not directly participating in the attack. At this moment, there was a 'click' sound near Huan Chu's ear, and Pang Le had finished shooting a magazine.
Huan Chu didn't hesitate anymore, looking at the head exposed in the scope, his finger tightened, and a dbp87 bullet whistled out of the muzzle, opening a huge blood hole in the target's forehead within the crosshair.
But obviously, just two automatic rifles couldn't stop the footsteps of the zombie army. The number of zombies rushing into the parking lot far exceeded those falling under the two people's guns. In the blink of an eye, this group of bloodthirsty monsters rushed to the front door of the hotel and began to knock on it frantically.
While still maintaining a shooting posture, Huan Chu's heart had already reached downstairs. The banging sound pounded on his heart, gradually blending into Huan Chu's firing speed. Every time a zombie downstairs knocked on the door, a zombie fell under his gun.
Pang Le obviously noticed the strangeness of Huan Chu and glanced over. He saw Huan Chu's eyes vacant, with a look of confusion in them.
Although Pang Le is a fool, he also knows that this situation is inappropriate. However, he is tasked with the mission arranged by Huan Chu and dare not leave his post without orders. He can only anxiously shout several times, "Ah!" Ah ah! "
Huan Chu was awakened from a strange state by Pang Le's comparison to the sound of zombies, thinking that zombies were attacking from somewhere, and quickly turned around to look around.
At this moment, Pang Le saw Huan Chu recovering and exclaimed 'Ah' again. It was obvious that he rarely spoke, so when faced with an exciting situation, only this interjection remained in the fool's mind.
Huan Chu finally realized that the hoarse roar just now came from Pang Le's mouth. He smiled at him, without having time to think about his extremely strange state just now. After leaving enough ammunition for Pang Le, he grabbed the gun and hurried down the stairs to meet the queen and Lao Lu.
Just as he walked down the stairs, a loud crash of the collapsing door reached Huanchu's ears. He hurried a few steps and reached Chen Wenwen's side, just in time to see a yellow-haired female zombie with clothes all torn to pieces breaking through the door.
Following the beam of the emergency light, it quickly discovered three big living people standing at the stairway. Their eyes, which were originally squinted due to the sudden light source, widened suddenly. With a roar, it charged towards the three of them.
Although the hotel is considered small, compared to large hotels like Shangri-La, the lobby area is actually quite spacious. The distance from the main gate to the three individuals is nearly 20 meters away.
At the moment when the eerie scream sounded, Lu Hao raised the Type 79 in his hand and looked at the densely packed zombies at the gate. Without aiming, he just fired a burst of shots.
"Tut tut tut tut tut tut tut!" "
The roaring sound of the Type 79 micro submachine gun in Lu Hao's hand was no weaker than that of the yellow-haired female zombie. A series of 7.62mm brass bullets drew out streaks of fire in the dim hall, fiercely welcoming the zombies rushing towards the three of them.
With the distance being so close, Lu Hao only needed to keep the gun level to ensure that every bullet hit the zombie's head. The first few zombies that rushed into the hall immediately fell down.
The strong smell of blood further stimulated the zombies' bloodthirsty instincts. By the time Lu Hao emptied 20 rounds of bullets, the obstacles at the gate had been completely destroyed by the zombies. Even the glass on both sides was smashed to pieces by the zombies, mixed with the dark and bloody zombie blood scattered all over the ground.
The large gate, which can accommodate five or six people walking side by side, was instantly crowded with zombies. Huan Chu and Chen Wenwen also filled the gap left by Lu Hao without hesitation, and the guns in their hands burst into flames at the same time.
Suddenly, the entire hall was filled with the howls and moans of zombies, the roar of guns, and the screams of humans, creating a chaotic scene.
