Chapter 071 – Fire at me!

Just when I was about to completely despair, a black motorcycle suddenly arrived by the lake yesterday morning. There were two people on it, alive. They were not just passing by, but also shouting through the loudspeaker, asking all the living people to send out messages as much as possible.

At that time, I was breastfeeding my son and immediately burst into tears after hearing the voice! Finally, help has come. Sending out messages is easy. I live on the third floor, so since I can see them, they can see me too. I opened the curtains and vigorously waved my red skirt while shouting. It was my wife's favorite.

But they left, only saying to hold on and that someone will come to rescue me. However, a day passed and the rescuers did not arrive. The hope that was ignited in my heart quickly grew cold again.

Those two people were obviously not sent by the government, nor were they police or military. They should be survivors who luckily escaped this disaster, just like me. In this situation, even if there were ten more people, what difference would it make?

There are roughly over a hundred monsters in the yard downstairs, and that's just one side. If we count the left, right, and back yards together, there might be several hundred. The most troublesome thing is that I can't let them bite or scratch me, otherwise, I will quickly become a member of the monster army, with no chance to fight back.

"Ah... ah... ah..." My son woke up and started crying. He was hungry, and compared to ten days ago, his crying was much softer. There was no choice but to reduce the amount of formula milk. Instead of two bottles a day plus biscuits, it became one bottle a day and only one-third of the biscuits.

"Bang bang bang..." The usual sound of banging on the door also rang out. I used to be anxious about it, but I gradually got used to it. Bang, it's better to break open the door. Compared to starving to death, becoming a monster doesn't seem so scary.

"Cough cough cough..." As smoke entered my lungs, the feeling of hunger eased a bit for Yu Yi. It has been a day and a half since he last ate, and the remaining pieces of biscuits had to be saved for his son. He could only rely on smoking to alleviate the pain in his stomach. As for whether the smoke would have a bad effect on the child... fuck it!

Sometimes, Yu Yi felt that he might not be a qualified father. Every time he fed his son, he had to chew the biscuits into small pieces. But there was always an evil thought echoing in his mind: Swallow the biscuits... swallow them... if you swallow them, you won't die... and your son can be born again!

"I want to walk from the south to the north... and from the white to the black..." A faint song came from outside, was it an auditory hallucination? Probably, they say that when a person is extremely hungry, not only will they hear various sounds, but they can also see illusions. If that's the case, he probably doesn't have much time left.

"I want everyone to see me... but they don't know who I am..." Yu Yi stood up and threw the cigarette butt out of the window, but his hand suddenly stopped. The song was not coming from his ears, but from outside the window. Moreover, even if it was an auditory hallucination, it shouldn't produce such a mournful sound, it was just like a duck quacking.

"Darling... come and see the alien..." With a heart full of anxiety, Yu Yi tremblingly lifted a corner of the curtain, and then he froze, shouting his wife's name non-stop.

Under the big willow tree by the lake, a man was riding an electric scooter, holding a megaphone in his hand and singing loudly. The rising sun stretched his shadow long, and every movement caused a large swing, making it look so unreal.

"I'm here... I'm here..." But what happened next made Yu Yi immediately realize that all of this was really happening. The monsters downstairs swarmed out and rushed towards the man from all directions, gradually converging into a surging torrent in the alley, densely packed.

Yu Yi felt that the monsters didn't necessarily want to bite him, but they were provoked by the loud and piercing sound. Being awakened by such a harsh sound early in the morning, anyone would get angry!

"Stay there and don't move, don't open the door. Someone will come to save you!" The man on the electric scooter finally stopped singing and shouted towards Yu Yi before running away as if flying.

But he didn't run far, he just temporarily escaped from the encirclement of the monsters and stopped the scooter again to continue howling. Yes, howling. If the original singer was still alive, he would definitely be angrier than the monsters.

"Is this guy crazy..." Yu Yi felt that he might be hallucinating due to hunger, or maybe this person had a mental problem. Who in their right mind would voluntarily play with a large group of deadly monsters, walking and stopping, with a large crowd following behind, not more than five meters away recently, gradually moving south along the lakeside.

"Damn... now let's see where you can run!" As the saying goes, playing with fire will get you burned. This lunatic led a large group of monsters just a couple of hundred meters out, and then ran into another group of monsters head-on. The road by the lake can only accommodate two cars side by side, there is simply no space for maneuvering.

"Plunk... fuck!" But Yu Yi was wrong. That person didn't plan to fight to the death, instead, he threw the electric scooter aside, plunged into the lake without even taking off his clothes, and splashed water with his hands and feet. He swam really fucking fast and disappeared dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye.

The one or two hundred monsters were truly dumbfounded. They gathered densely by the lake, but none of them dared to go into the water. It turns out that these things can't swim!

The lunatic probably swam more than two hundred meters away when something strange happened again. An inflatable boat came from the north bank and picked him up, continuing to sail towards the south bank, and then landed again south of the monster group.

"Fuck, he's leading the monsters in circles!" It wasn't until this moment that Yu Yi was sure that the other person was not crazy, and he himself was not hallucinating due to hunger.

This man was leading a large group of monsters south. As long as there were no monsters blocking the way ahead, he would jog in front of the monster army, like a sports representative. If there were too many monsters ahead and he couldn't avoid them, he would jump into the lake, bypass the place where the monsters gathered, and then come ashore to continue running.The horde of monsters was growing larger, gradually surging towards the garden on the south bank. This time, the man didn't continue to run. He swam out a hundred meters or so, got on a small boat, and took a long detour, surprisingly returning to the big willow tree. After landing, he picked up an electric horn and continued his previous howling... a howling with lyrics!

Long story short, he did this three times, each time venturing deeper into the alley, but each time taking fewer monsters with him. The last time, he almost reached the bottom of the building, circling around this three-story makeshift building several times. The electric horn was almost out of power, and there were only a few monsters following him.

Then the small boat came chugging along again, but this time there were four or five people on board, all wearing helmets and police bulletproof vests, both men and women. They either held transparent shields or long hooks in their hands.

Without saying a word, they started fighting. The few monsters following the man were unlucky. They were killed on the spot, lying motionless on the ground.

"Young man, don't rush. We need to clean up the surrounding courtyards before we can come up to rescue you. Here, have some milk and chocolate to replenish your energy!"

The man singing with the electric horn didn't join the fight. He walked to the bottom of the building and threw a plastic bag up. He threw it accurately, directly into the room from outside the window without needing to be caught. Inside the bag were two boxes of milk and a bar of chocolate.

"Big... big brother... are you police or armed police?" You Yi didn't even have time to feed his son. Although these people looked ragtag, they acted in an orderly manner, unlike ordinary people.

"We're neither, just like you, we're poor victims of this disaster... disappointed, huh? Hehe... it's okay, I understand, but now is not the time to chat. You better pack up your personal belongings quickly, don't bring too much, we have everything at our place. By the way, do you know if there are any survivors around here?"

The man downstairs was naturally Hong Tao. He took some of Linna's suggestions, and based on the terrain and the characteristics of the zombies, he revised a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Today was the first implementation, and the effect... should be considered good.

The core of this plan was to bet that zombies can't swim and their ability to sense humans is limited! As long as these two conditions are met, it is possible to lure most of the zombies elsewhere, and then use the lake to break contact.
