“Run!” Li Yu shouted.
He immediately rushed towards the Sinkhole entrance. Under the flashlight's beam, the path ahead brightened slightly. Fortunately, they hadn't ventured far after entering, only about 50 meters. But within this 50-meter distance, the sounds of zombies came from both sides.
No one dared to stop. Li Tie and Li Gang ran even more frantically.
Li Yu charged at the front. Suddenly, a zombie lunged from the left. Li Yu's long blade directly slashed it, his steps not stopping as he continued to rush towards the Sinkhole entrance.
In this critical moment, Li Tie and Li Gang didn't dare to be distracted, following closely behind Li Yu.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
Everyone exerted all their strength to run forward.
The roars of the zombies behind them grew louder and closer.
Just as they were about to reach the brightly lit Sinkhole entrance, some zombies emerged from both sides. Li Tie and Li Gang were at the back, and because these zombies were hidden in the darkness, no one had noticed them initially.
At this moment, hearing Li Yu and the others' movements, they all ran towards their direction.
Li Yu ran at the very front. There was light at the foremost Sinkhole entrance, and zombies are photophobic, so no zombies were seen around the entrance.
Less than 5 meters from the entrance, Li Yu looked back and saw that Li Tie and Li Gang hadn't caught up, but they weren't far from him, only about ten meters away.
Around Li Tie and Li Gang, four or five zombies emerged, and the two were trying to deal with them.
Li Yu frowned slightly, shining his flashlight behind them, only to see a massive horde of zombies running towards them.
They were less than 10 meters from Li Tie and Li Gang. And Li Tie and Li Gang were still dealing with the zombies on both sides, trapped, unable to quickly escape for a moment.
“Hurry.” Li Yu shouted.
He then turned back, raising his submachine gun and sweeping it directly behind the two.
Dong Dong Dong!
A group of zombies fell. Li Yu's steps didn't stop as he ran to their side, helping Li Tie deal with the zombies around them.
“Brother, let's go.” Li Tie shouted.
Seeing Li Yu turn back and help deal with the zombies, a warm current surged through Li Tie's heart.
Just now, they were only busy dealing with the zombies rushing from both sides, but they hadn't realized that the zombies from behind had also caught up.
After the surrounding zombies were cleared, the three of them sped up and ran towards the Sinkhole entrance.
In less than a few seconds, the three of them reached the Sinkhole entrance.
Immediately after, they ran out of the Sinkhole.
Da Pao and Wang Cheng saw Li Yu and the others running out from inside, their faces covered in sweat and looking anxious.
Coupled with the gunshots they had just heard from inside, they probably guessed what had happened inside.
Da Pao took out the grenade tied to his waist, preparing to throw it into the Sinkhole entrance.
Li Yu saw his action and quickly shouted, “Don't blow it up yet. It might collapse this entire Sinkhole later. We could also be buried.”
Li Yu waved, signaling everyone to run outside the large iron gate.
“Get out first and close the gate.” Li Yu shouted as he spoke.
Da Pao heard this and reacted very quickly.
Without a moment's hesitation, he ran towards the gate.
He was the first to reach the gate. He searched around and found two thick, hard wooden logs on the ground. He then closed one side of the gate, leaving the other side open.
He held the wooden logs in his hand, waiting for everyone to come out before horizontally barring the gate.
Wang Cheng followed closely, running out of the gate.
Next were Li Tie, Li Gang, and finally Li Yu.
The moment he came out, Wang Cheng closed the other side of the door, and Da Pao immediately used the two wooden logs to bar the iron gate.
Just as it was barred, a series of banging sounds and zombie roars came from behind.
That was close!
Everyone felt a little lingering fear.
It was just a moment too late. They knew it was very narrow inside, and fighting zombies in such a place was tantamount to seeking death.
If there were too many zombies, once their bullets ran out, that would be their moment of death.
Large drops of sweat dripped down.
That was too exciting and dangerous.
Da Pao pushed the door firmly. Although the two wooden logs played a certain role, the zombies' tireless impact could very well break through, and these two wooden logs wouldn't last much longer.
Da Pao shouted, “Tie Zi, bring over that chain you used to unlock earlier and tie it up. These wooden logs won't last long.”
Li Tie hadn't even caught his breath yet, but he searched where they had just smashed the door and finally found a thick, hard iron chain.
Wang Cheng and Da Pao both firmly held the large iron gate. The force coming from the other side of the large iron gate grew stronger and stronger, and Li Yu also stepped forward to push.
Resisting the impact of the zombies.
Li Tie quickly locked the large iron chain, wrapped it twice, and finally tied a knot, pulling it down forcefully. It was tightly bound!
The two wooden logs were still barred there.
Once the chain was on, everyone stepped back.
Dong Dong Dong!
After being tied with the iron chain, the iron gate was impacted, causing the chain to tighten.
The zombies furiously pushed the door, but although the large gate was impacted, it was not pushed open.
Everyone then slightly relaxed and took a deep breath.
They didn't know how many zombies were inside, but Li Yu had just taken a quick glance and saw dozens of zombies.
They also didn't know how big this Sinkhole was.
Just looking at this mountain, with its strange, jagged rocks, it was indeed a battle site.
There were also many shooting ports, all in an inverted triangle shape.
This inverted triangle shape was designed to resist external attackers. The inverted triangle shooting ports allowed for the placement of firearms and made it difficult for enemies to shoot them.
Everyone waited outside for a while, and the zombie roars continued to come from inside the iron gate.
They seemed unwilling to give up, still tirelessly pushing the iron gate.
“Brother, what should we do now? Do we still need to go in?” Li Tie listened to the zombie roars inside, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
Li Yu checked his firearms and ammunition, thought for a moment, and said, “We've come all this way, so we definitely need to go in and take another look. If we just leave like this, what if there are really some firearms sealed inside? Wouldn't that be a waste?”
He then walked to the other Xiao Shan path they had come from and took a look.
Then he stood further away and looked at the mountain, saying, “This Sinkhole definitely doesn't have only one entrance. Let's go check from this mountain path.”
Everyone nodded and walked towards the mountain path next to them.
This mountain path was very rugged, consisting of huge rocks. These rocks naturally provided shelter, making excellent cover for resisting enemies.
Everyone walked along this Xiao Shan. After less than two minutes, the path ahead disappeared, or rather, it wasn't completely gone.
It was just that the path ahead was exceptionally rugged, with only a Xiao Lu almost at an 85-degree incline.
There were also some traces of people climbing on the Xiao Lu. Li Yu stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at this Xiao Lu. There were some protruding rocks and some trees on it, making it suitable for climbing.
Even if one accidentally fell during the climb, they wouldn't necessarily fall to their death. There were many trees in between that could act as protection if one slipped.
