Chapter 21: Choices
Ancient Sword Castle, to put it simply, is a private museum. Most of the exhibits inside are ancient weapons. There are relatively few modern weapons, but each one is a fine product.
After discussing with Ye Yao, Su Chen chose Ancient Sword Castle as the location for this operation.
In the early morning of the second day, Su Chen and Ye Yao set off after having breakfast.
The geographical location of Gujian Fort is very special. It is located at the junction of Nanshi City and the suburbs. This means that there are many roads near Gujian Fort, and the flow of people will naturally be large.
Judging from the map, the ancient sword castle is about three kilometers away from Su Chen's home. If you don't follow the route, it can reach up to 3.5 kilometers. This distance is not too far. For safety reasons, Su Chen decided to go on foot.
Ye Yao's thoughts were almost the same as Su Chen's. They also followed a cautious approach and would rather spend more time than take more risks.
The imitation pistol without the steel balls was just a decoration. Su Chen was more cautious on the way to the ancient sword castle. Ye Yao acted as his deputy and agreed with Su Chen's caution.
The two set out at half past seven and arrived near their destination. It was already nine o'clock. They were fully prepared for this operation and did not intend to go back easily.
Just as Su Chen expected, Gujianbao is the area where the largest number of zombies gather on this street. At a glance, there are at least fifty zombies.
The ancient sword castle is very luxuriously decorated. Although it looks like a small castle, it does not adopt a retro style and looks more like a condensed version of a modern city.
However, the ancient sword castle, surrounded by corpses, looked dilapidated and desolate, and had long lost the momentum it should have.
Su Chen doesn't know much about the Ancient Sword Fort, but generally this kind of building has more than two entrances and exits. In addition to the standard front and rear, there are also emergency exits. If there is a large flow of people, there may even be five.
The two of them circled the ancient sword castle and found that there were a lot of zombies around the ancient sword castle. The total number of zombies around the castle was more than a hundred. There must be a reason why this group of zombies refused to leave.
If nothing else, it was the living people in the Ancient Sword Castle that attracted their attention.
The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. It was not difficult to sneak into the Ancient Sword Castle, but there were still living people in the Ancient Sword Castle. If Su Chen and Ye Yao entered like this, they would definitely be regarded as intruders. The number of people on the other side was unknown.
A small number is fine, but once there are too many people, the situation will be very bad.
"What should we do? Should we just wait and see what happens, or should we go in and check out the situation?" Su Chen asked.
"I think we should go back first and bring more food to stay here. If there are too many of them, there will be a food crisis soon. They will naturally come out by then. I believe that if we wait for up to five days, we will definitely gain something." Ye Yao
After thinking for a while, he said.
"Although doing this is very safe, it is a waste of time. At this time, not to mention five days, even one day, there may be a new crisis. I can accept a short wait, but a long wait just to be safe, I
I feel like the gains outweigh the losses.”
"In that case, it's up to you to decide."
"Well, I think we can only go in first to explore the situation. If there is a situation, we will retreat immediately. If the other party is not going to let us go, we will put the corpses in. We will never let them have an easy time." Su Chen looked not far away.
The ancient sword castle said slowly.
"It's too vicious to let zombies in. They are human beings after all, but under special circumstances, I support your approach." Ye Yao responded.
"Then let's go and watch the back for me. You don't need to worry about the zombies on the other three routes. I can ensure your safety." After saying this, Su Chen walked slowly towards the only emergency exit of the Ancient Sword Castle.
There are three entrances and exits to the Ancient Sword Castle. The number of zombies near the emergency exit is the smallest, with only seven zombies. As long as there is no big noise during the battle, the number of zombies Su Chen and Ye Yao need to face will not increase.
The seven zombies were very close to each other. As soon as Su Chen stepped into the hearing range of one of the zombies, a chain reaction was triggered. The seven zombies roared in a low voice and ran towards Su Chen's direction.
Su Chen was unmoved. He jumped up in one step, obviously intending to confront these zombies head-on.
Ye Yao, who was following Su Chen, shook her head inwardly. She thought Su Chen's actions were a bit inflated with self-confidence, but she did not stop him. Her mission was only to keep an eye on Su Chen's rear, and everything else had nothing to do with her.
Su Chen was very confident in killing these ordinary zombies, but his confidence was not inflated. If these seven zombies were replaced by long-armed zombies or heavy-punching zombies, Su Chen would have taken a detour at this time, even if he walked straight to the front door.
It is impossible to take this line.
Su Chen's self-confidence stems from his own strength and understanding of his enemies.
After losing the replica pistol, Su Chen focused more on the Nepalese Army Knife. In order to make the Nepali Army Knife more suitable for the hand, he even modified the handle himself.
I saw Su Chen leaping up. The zombie closest to Su Chen was only half a meter away from him. It stands to reason that the zombie would charge at full speed once it entered the range of three meters. However, Su Chen quickly rushed into its "domain", and there was no trace of it at all.
Give it a chance to speed up, that is to say, the difference in speed between the two is more than a little bit.
Before the zombie could speed up, the Nepalese saber in Su Chen's hand was placed on its neck. The huge momentum contained violent power, and the sharp blade shone with a dazzling cold light. Su Chen didn't let it pounce on him.
By chance, before the blood on the tip of the knife hits the ground, you can hear the soft sound of the zombie's head hitting the ground.
After cutting off a zombie's head, the resistance on the blade slowed down Su Chen. Taking this opportunity, four zombies from Su Chen's left and right swarmed up, trying to bite the prey in front of him.
Su Chen had no expression on his face and shook his right shoulder. He ignored his trembling right arm and launched the most violent attack on the zombie closest to him. Unfortunately, the zombie closest to Su Chen had its throat opened by the tip of the knife.
, the long knife went straight in, directly smashing its brain.
During this period, Su Chen saw clearly the zombie rushing toward him from the right side. The moment the tip of the knife penetrated the zombie's throat, his heavy foot struck the zombie on the right side hard on the lower abdomen, and he was hit by
The zombies with huge momentum couldn't help but retreat backwards, and collided with the zombies rushing behind them. Their balance was instantly out of control, and the two zombies fell to the ground one after another.
Su Chen used all his strength in this kick. With the power of his right foot on the zombie's abdomen, Su Chen's body was able to retreat quickly, avoiding the bites of the two zombies on the left.
When the two zombies on the left saw that they had not bitten their prey, they roared in frustration and rushed towards Su Chen at full speed.
Su Chen did not dare to neglect, and stabilized his body as quickly as possible. Because his right hand was shaking so much, he switched the Nepalese saber to his left hand. The tip of the knife stabbed the eye socket of the zombie on the far left that was rushing toward him, and at the same time, he punched the right hand with his right hand.
He swung out suddenly and hit the zombie on the left hard on the chin.
The eye socket of the zombie on the far left exploded instantly, and the tip of the knife directly exploded its eyeball, piercing into its brain. Suddenly, red and white liquid spurted out from the dark hole, while the one on the left was killed by Su Chen
The zombie that was hit on the chin just took a step back and pounced on Su Chen again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Chen pulled out a Nepali saber. The blade deflected slightly, and a trace of blood appeared on the throat of the zombie on the left. It was not dead, but the control system was destroyed by this knife, and its ability to move was completely destroyed, as if
It fell to the ground like a dead body.
Before the zombie on the left fell to the ground, the two zombies on the right had already climbed up from the ground, and the zombie that was supposed to be last got ahead of the two zombies on the right and rushed towards Su Chen crazily.
Su Chen did not reject anyone who came, and the blade once again emitted a blood-red light. There was a blush on its throat, and blood overflowed from the gaps. Like the previous zombie, it would lose control of its body.
It wasn't until Su Chen deprived it of control of its body that the last two zombies appeared within three meters of Su Chen again. Su Chen's face was expressionless. It was unclear whether it was cruel or cold on the blood-stained face. The bloody light on the blade
The sunlight was very dazzling. Su Chen stepped forward and came directly in front of the zombie. He waved the blade and blood began to overflow. On the right side of his face, countless blood flowers gathered together to form a blood barrier.
Su Chen took a deep breath, stabbed the four zombies on the ground who were still alive, and said lightly: "Thank you."
Behind Su Chen, Ye Yao took back the blood-stained butterfly knife and looked at the dead zombies at her feet, "This is what I should do."
Su Chen let out a breath and said slowly: "Let's go."
Ye Yao didn't say anything, just followed him silently. At this moment, she had the most intuitive understanding of Su Chen's close combat. She finally knew where Su Chen's confidence came from, but she didn't
She knew that if the zombie behind Su Chen was not dealt with by her, could Su Chen in the previous situation be able to kill the eighth zombie without injury.
She didn't know, Su Chen wouldn't give her the answer, and she couldn't guess it either.
Ye Yao only saw the glorious side of Su Chen. Little did he know that in the previous battle, because he always maintained the highest combat posture, his arms were shaking very badly. As for the zombie behind Su Chen, he knew it well. If not,
Ye Yao helps, he can't win this battle without injury.
After all, ordinary zombies are the lowest opponents. If it were seven ordinary people who were determined to fight to death, even if they did not carry weapons, Su Chen believed that the possibility of winning would not be higher than 10%. As for
Even with weapons in hand, Su Chen cannot guarantee that he can defeat his opponent without injury in one-on-one situations.
It has to be said that the zombies under the current situation are much weaker than ordinary people carrying weapons. This is only for now. God knows whether in a few months or a few years, these zombies will grow like human infancy into juvenile stage.
Therefore, every day at the beginning of the end of the world should be cherished.
"This door is locked. Take out the rope and let's climb up." Su Chen pushed the safety passage door hard. Just as he thought, the other party would not be stupid enough not to lock the door, but they certainly would not have thought that they would.
Someone broke through the zombie swarm and climbed in through the second-floor window.
Regarding this situation, Su Chen and Ye Yao discussed it before setting off, and they visited a building materials store near their home yesterday.
Su Chen didn't know much about the use of this type of rope, but he had watched survival TV series. He tried throwing the hook at one end of the rope into the window. Su Chen was very lucky and threw it in the first time.
, and also hooked something. Su Chen pressed it with his body. After making sure it could bear his own weight, he nodded with Ye Yao and climbed up.
The second-floor window of the Ancient Sword Castle was much higher than the second-floor of an ordinary building, and the effort required was far greater than Su Chen expected. Fortunately, he successfully climbed through the window.
