18 - Chapter Eighteen




Lu Baiming said in confusion, "The bell didn't ring, huh?"
Zhou Yan said urgently, "I heard footsteps!"
Lu Baichuan thought about it and said, "Can you hear approximately how many?"
Zhou Yan shook his head: "It's too far away to hear clearly."
Lu Bachuan bent down to pick up the wood knife from the ground and said, "Let's go to the tree first."
The willow tree right next to them, which had been there since Lu Bacchuan had memories of it as a child, grew leafy, its poles splitting into four when it was over two meters tall, four branches growing out towards the surroundings, now each branch was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh.
The three of them took their weapons, climbed up the tree, and each chose a branch to stand on. Zhou Yan chose the trunk closest to the intersection first, while Lu Bachuan and Lu Baming were on either side of him.
After the three of them stood on the tree, they didn't hear the bell ring, and Lu Baiming was about to say that he was all over the grass and trees, when Zhou Yan said with a heavy look, "There should be four to five!"
Lu Baiming wanted to ask four to five what, and then he heard the sound of jingling bells ringing.
The sky was already dawned, and if you looked closely, you could faintly see the silhouettes of the zombies that appeared at the intersection.
Several walkers were first confused for a moment at the intersection, then as if they had discovered something, they all ran towards the tree they were in.
When the zombies ran to the tree, by the faint firelight below and the morning light in the sky, the three could see several zombies all dressed in rags, their faces stained and even mutilated.
Lu Baiming was so frightened that he pointed at the gong hanging on the branch of the tree where Zhou Yan was and said, "You quickly knock!"
As a result, Zhou Yan not only didn't knock, but also took away the gong hanging from a higher branch, in case the walkers jumped up to grab him and ran into it, and said in a calm tone, "Wait a little longer."
As soon as Lu Baiming spoke to Zhou Yan, several walkers were all around their feet, and a few even jumped up and tried to grab their ankles, seeing that the walkers' nails were less than a foot away from their feet, Lu Baiming carefully moved higher again and said cryptically, "I'm going to get caught if I wait any longer."
Lu Baichuan helplessly said, "Calm down, isn't this still a long way away?"
Lu Baiming moved up again, and after confirming that the zombies couldn't catch themselves no matter how they jumped, he finally calmed down a bit and said, "Where is it far away, it's right under my feet, and it feels like it's going to catch me in the next moment." After a pause and then not giving up, he asked, "Are we really not going to ring the gong to inform the village to get ready?"
Zhou Yan was speechless, "Didn't you notice? The few zombies that came over have been circling around us under the trees, they didn't even go into the village."
Lu Baiming trailed off, "I was so frightened, how could I have the heart to pay attention to where they were running, it's not like you can hear them from so far away, and I'm nearsighted, I couldn't see how many zombies were coming in total, so how could I know they were all coming over!"
Zhou Yan was laughing and crying, "If you're so cowardly, why did you have the guts to drive back by yourself in the first place? Why don't you lock the door and hide in the house?"
"I wasn't that worried about my parents being home in danger?" Lu Baiming named, "Also, if I wasn't a coward, I wouldn't have waited there for so long for you guys to pass by in the first place, I would have walked back by myself."
Lu Baichuan saw that the two of them were still fighting in this situation, and reminded, "Since you have the strength to fight, it looks like you're not afraid anymore, why don't you think about how to finish off these zombies first?"
Lu Baiming wanted to cry again when he heard, "Really don't you want to call in a few more people from the village to help?"
Lu Bachuan said, "We're not in danger up there yet, once the gong is sounded, I'm afraid that whoever from the village will just run over without much preparation, and then there will be danger instead."
While he was speaking, Zhou Yan squatted down, holding a tree trunk next to him with his left hand and carrying an axe in his right hand, and between the zombie's hands grasping the air to put it down, he smashed down hard on the head of the zombie at his feet, and immediately stopped after hitting it.
The head of the zombie was smashed directly from the canopy, and the sticky, foul-smelling black liquid spurted out from the head, and the zombie fell to the ground.
The other four zombies gathered at the sound, and Zhou Yan grabbed the tree branch and stood on it, not making another move.
Lu Baiming's eyes straightened as he looked at them, and said in surprise, "Brother, good skills, you've practiced before, right?"
Zhou Yan gave a vague response, not saying yes or no.
The next one, Lu Bachuan, saw him finish one and struck the tree trunk under his feet with the wood knife in his hand, and sure enough a walker ran over at the sound of the voice and jumped up to try to grab his hand.
The first thing I noticed was the fact that I was not the only one who had a good idea of what I was doing, and I was not the only one who had a good idea of what I was doing.
Lu Baichuan dumbfoundedly watched the zombie completely unaffected continue to wander on the bottom of his feet, and even from time to time to reach up to try to grab his feet, forgetting to move for a moment.
Remembering the time when they encountered the walker the most, in the garage downstairs from his house, he just used a bone-cutting knife to cut down the walker, Zhou Yan even just used a rolling pin, now he cut into the walker's head with a knife that was clearly in his head and ended up completely unharmed, momentarily overwhelmed with shock.
Zhou Yan was watching clearly from the side, and he also expected that after so many days, when he encountered a walker again, it would definitely not be as easy to deal with as before, but he also didn't expect that it would be useless to chop into the brain, so he said, "Try to find a way to try and chop the back of his head."
Lu Bachuan was already reluctant to do so, so he stood up and stretched his arms and legs at the news, found a convenient place to do it, reached down with his wood knife and knocked, and waited for the walker to come over.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the car, and you'll see that it's a good idea to take a look at the car.
During the time when this walker on Zhou Yan's side was at the bottom, Lu Bachuan also quickly smashed down a walker that ran past his feet.
This left only two zombies under the tree.
Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan looked at each other, both looking down at Lu Baiming next to them.
Zhou Yan smiled badly and pointed at the walker under his feet and said, "Try it?"
Lu Baiming accosted him with a smile and said, "Can we not try?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and compelled, "Try it, you'll find that your potential is limitless!"
Lu Baiming saw that he couldn't escape, and could only follow their example to find a position to crouch, and when the zombies reached his feet, he quickly shot and hit them, and when he got it, he quickly stood up and walked to a higher place, his skills were not as good as Zhou Yan's, but compared to Lu Baichuan's, they were only better not worse.
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not bad at it either?"
Lu Baiming had a tremor in his voice and said, "But I'm scared!"
Zhou Yan looked at him and saw that his legs were still shaking now, so it wasn't like he was faking it.
There was only one walker left under the tree at this time, and this walker was the shortest of the five.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers, and to help them to make the most of their opportunities. The, immediately reached out and hugged the trunk for a turn, and the man turned back.
Not sighing, he said, "Why do you think you're so short?"
Naturally, the zombie would not respond to him and continued to bounce underneath him, as if expressing displeasure at not catching prey just now.
Lu Bachuan, however, was so frightened that his heart stopped beating for a beat, and when he saw it, he quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Yan said, "It's fine, it's just that this is a bit of a problem, we need to think of a way!"
Lu Bachuan was relieved, "It's fine!" And tried again, "Shall I go down?"
Zhou Yan quickly said, "No, I've thought of a way, just watch!"
He said he just sat down on the tree trunk and hooked his feet to it.
The walker under the tree saw this and really got together to try to grab his feet, but as a result, no matter how much he jumped, he was always still a little short of his shoes.
Zhou Yan proudly said, "How about it, told you to be so short, you can't catch it, right?"
Next to him, Lu Bachuan and Lu Baming were originally a little worried, but when they heard him say that, they both had a black face.
Zhou Yan waited for a while, and when he saw that the zombie no longer kept grabbing his feet, he took advantage of the moment when the zombie dropped his hands, and fell backwards, leaving only his feet hooked on the tree trunk, and his right hand followed the downward force and slashed directly at the back of the zombie's head.
The zombie fell to the ground instantly, and the blood splattered everywhere almost sprayed Zhou Yan's face.
Zhou Yan wobbled his body again, and made an effort on his waist, then with a straight back, he sat back on the tree and said proudly, "I'm good at it, right?"
Lu Baichuan just wanted to say something, before he came, he was snatched up by Lu Baiming beside him, his tone urgent and adoring: "Good, very good, from today onwards, you are my big brother, my idol!"
Zhou Yan disliked, "Who is your big brother? You're an old man so don't pretend to be young and call someone else big brother!"
Lu Baiming acted like I was just picking a fight: "I'm the same age as your senior Lu Baichuan, so is he an old man too?"
Zhou Yan was righteous: "Senior is magnificent, which is something you can compare to."
Lu Baiming wanted to retort again, but he was interrupted by Lu Baichuan, who pointed at the gong on the branch and said to him, "Don't you really want to knock?"
