Li Tie guarded the entrance to the steps, with a dozen or so zombies constantly climbing up, only to be quickly impaled and knocked back down by a spear.
Da Pao cooperated by his side with a stick; whenever Li Tie stabbed a zombie down, Da Pao would use his stick to push it off.
Outside, the rain continued to drizzle.
All the zombies had already surged over, seemingly dozens of them.
In such a remote area, there are usually fewer zombies, but in this vast and populous country, there are people in many places.
Even in some seemingly desolate areas, if you count the population, you can always find a crowd that exceeds your imagination.
Especially when it rains, zombies' sense of smell becomes particularly keen, allowing them to sniff out things from far away, so they will pursue from great distances.
This is very difficult, and it is also one of the most challenging reasons in a downpour during the apocalypse: it's hard to hide…
Li Yu stood at the window looking out; there were only a few scattered zombies outside now, as the dozens that had just pursued them had mostly entered the cylindrical building below.
These zombies ran tirelessly upwards, and due to the crowding, some were pushed off in mid-air.
The remaining zombies, like madmen, desperately squeezed their way up.
Third Uncle and Li Gang also came to help from behind, with two long spears and two long sticks, combining their efforts.
Pfft! A spear pierced through a zombie's skull.
Thud! A stick pushed a zombie down, and it fell onto the concrete ground below.
The zombie's head hit the rebar below and was directly impaled.
Like a string of gourds, several zombies were impaled on that 3-centimeter-wide rebar.
The rhythm of the four people grew faster and faster, and their coordination was very tacit.
The people behind also held long spears, now assisting around the steps.
"Everyone be careful, don't get caught by the zombies, don't get dragged down!" Li Yu saw Li Haoran had just stabbed a zombie, and when he tried to pull his spear out, he couldn't immediately, causing him to stumble.
"Rather lose the stick in your hand than be dragged down!" Li Yu emphasized again.
Although this place had some rebar as an obstruction, if one was not careful, it was still easy to be dragged down by zombies.
"Okay!" Everyone echoed.
……
The rain kept falling.
Five minutes later, all these zombies were dealt with, and most of the zombies below were impaled.
The cylindrical space had excellent acoustics, so the constant roaring of the zombies just now had caused everyone to feel some tinnitus.
Now, the sound of the zombies stopped, and rain drifted in from outside the window.
The entire space suddenly fell silent, with only… the sound of everyone's breathing.
Everyone felt some lingering fear; this cursed place actually had so many zombies, it was too difficult to handle.
But at least they were all dealt with.
Only the zombies lying all over the ground below made people feel uncomfortable. And many of the zombies, after falling, piled up on top of each other, looking somewhat like tombstones.
It was dark at this time, pitch black outside, but inside the building, it was bright, with several bright searchlights reflecting light on the smooth concrete walls, making it as bright as day.
Drip, drop…
Some rainwater, carried by the wind, drifted in and dripped onto the ground, gradually forming a small puddle, then dripping downwards.
The rain outside was still very heavy.
Li Yu looked at the zombie corpses all over the ground below and, after some thought, said, "Let's clean up the steps. Although it's all zombies below, this is the safest place around here."
Li Yu was somewhat helpless; in a downpour, it was best to avoid encountering zombies as much as possible.
Because the longer one stayed in the downpour, the more zombies would appear.
And now, it was unknown if more zombies would come, drawn by the scent.
Li Tie and Da Pao slowly walked towards the steps. Although they had dealt with all these zombies just now, for safety's sake, they still needed to finish them off. Li Tie and four others went down to finish off every single zombie, not even sparing those impaled in a string.
When outside, caution is key.
……
Less than 20 kilometers from them, He Park.
At this moment, it was also undergoing a desperate struggle.
Because He Park was quite large, it had many gaps. Although iron fences were installed early on, it was inevitable that some would loosen.
Even though they checked frequently, such things always happen in the world; the more you worry about something, the more it will come to pass.
To the East of He Park, there was originally a beautiful field of rape flowers, which attracted many tourists for photos before the apocalypse.
After the apocalypse, the rape flowers here were removed and replaced with resilient corn.
A 30-meter-long iron fence had one loose bar in the middle, and many zombies were pressing against it from behind.
Originally, this part of He Park was near a village, and this was a large village. And this town was also a large town, so whenever it rained, many zombies would come to their area.
Every time it rained, Mr. Wang's mood was not very pleasant. Old Zhong and his group had already left He Park several days ago and had not returned yet.
He Park had over a hundred people in total, and Old Zhong's group took away the elites of He Park, so with their departure, He Park's manpower suddenly became somewhat stretched.
In the downpour, the people of He Park were mostly gathered around the iron fence, using long spears to stab zombies. If zombies were allowed to gather in one place, when their numbers grew, accidents could easily occur, so they tried to deal with zombies appearing near the iron fence as quickly as possible.
The over one hundred people in He Park worked tirelessly, each holding a section, dealing with the zombies within their range, but sometimes they also needed to move, as the number of zombies in each place was not constant.
It was precisely because the zombies appeared irregularly that they needed to keep moving, running themselves ragged.
In a small gap to the East, which they hadn't noticed, a zombie suddenly got stuck in the gap and squeezed in sideways.
It roared and ran inwards.
And just at that moment, a man responsible for this area had just run to the person next to him to provide support.
In the downpour, the zombies' roars were largely muffled.
No one noticed that a zombie had already run in.
A second zombie squeezed in, followed by a third, then a fourth.
"Zombies are coming in!!!" The person to his right, about 20 meters away, finally dealt with the zombie in front of him and then looked around, and this look nearly scared him to death.
In that spot nearby, there was a gap, and zombies were continuously running in.
No sooner had he spoken than five gazes turned towards him. But because that area was a cornfield, it blocked the view of three people.
