Chapter 11: Facing the Zombies
Li Yu instructed Uncle Lai's daughters and his wife to get in the car first.
Li Hang got out of the car. Little Lue was a bit nervous but still mustered up the courage to get out as well.
As they were getting out, Aunt wanted to say something to dissuade them.
But seeing that Little Hang had already gotten out, she ultimately didn't say anything.
Little Lue picked up a wooden stick from the ground. Following beside Li Yu, Li Yu looked at Little Lue with some satisfaction.
Not bad, showing some masculinity.
So this scene appeared:
Looking from the far right, Uncle Lai was holding a large chopping knife for splitting firewood, then there was Little Lue holding a wooden stick.
Next were Li Yu and Li Hang holding long swords.
The four of them lined up in a row, facing the zombie horde directly.
Just then, a voice came...
"Xiao Yu, what are you guys doing?" Li Hongyuan asked curiously from the watchtower, seeing the few people below the wall.
"Dad, turn on the searchlight," Li Yu said.
When designing this watchtower, they had considered the nighttime issue, so two ultra-long-range searchlights were installed, said to be able to see several hundred meters away.
It just consumes a lot of electricity!
Li Hongyuan turned it on as Li Yu said.
The moment it was turned on, Li Hongyuan saw the nearly 20 zombies in the distance clearly and was instantly stunned.
Along with Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle who had just come up to the watchtower, they were all dumbfounded.
The watchtower wasn't large, less than 10 square meters, but it was more than enough for three people to stand.
"Xiao Yu, are those humans? Their walking posture doesn't look like it," Second Uncle asked.
"Second Uncle, open the door quickly! Open the door! Those aren't humans, Big Brother said they're zombies! The city is full of these things now, they bite people on sight!" Before Li Yu could answer, Li Hang rushed to reply.
Li Yu glanced at Li Hang, then looked up and said to the three people on the watchtower: "What Little Hang said is correct. I just went to pick up Aunt and the others. Open the door first and bring them in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he charged towards the zombie group.
There was no choice, the few zombies walking faster at the front were already less than 10 meters away.
If this group of zombies surrounded them, it would be troublesome.
So, he had to charge out first to deal with the front few. This way they wouldn't be surrounded.
"Xiao Yu!"
"Brother!"
"Yu-zai."
Little Hang beside him and his father and Fourth Uncle on the watchtower all called out.
Li Yu was seen taking the lead, sword rising and falling.
Two zombies fell down directly.
He immediately turned around and slashed at two more zombies.
In an instant, these two zombies were also cut down to the ground.
Li Hongyuan, standing upstairs, was originally terrified when he saw Li Yu charge forward.
But when he saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, wondering when his son had become so formidable.
Li Hongyuan seemed to come to his senses and immediately pulled Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle down to open the door.
Outside the door, at the same time.
Lai Dongsheng and Li Hang also charged forward, each choosing a zombie.
Lai Dongsheng was extremely strong, and the heavy and thick chopping knife cleaved into the zombie's neck.
This zombie's head was chopped four-fifths off, with just a little bit left hanging on the shoulder, dead as dead could be.
Li Hang seemed to have also been inspired by Lai Dongsheng's competitive spirit, and stabbed directly into this zombie's eyeball.
The blade pierced through.
The zombie fell to the ground, clean and efficient.
Just then, two zombies beside ran towards Li Hang, moving extremely fast. Li Hang turned around and saw the two zombies running over, instantly recalling the method his big brother had taught him.
He first ran towards the right side of one of the zombies, taking advantage of the zombie's lack of agility, and instantly stabbed forward. After dealing with one zombie, the other zombie also reacted and ran towards Li Hang.
Li Hang retreated, using the zombie's forward momentum, and stabbed again.
But just at this moment, the zombies behind had also caught up.
"Be careful!" Li Yu shouted urgently, taking three steps in two, rushing over.
With a horizontal slash, he cut off the heads of the three zombies charging towards Li Hang.
It was only because this sword was made of specially forged steel, long enough, and extremely sharp after being sharpened.
On the other side, Uncle Lai gripped the chopping knife with both hands and slashed at the zombies coming from the right, but after chopping many times, the chopping knife had become a bit blunt, with the edge even curling slightly.
The zombies behind successively caught up.
Following that.
Li Yu charged into the midst of the remaining dozen or so zombies, slashing horizontally and vertically, resolving the situation within minutes.
Only two zombies whose legs he had chopped off remained, tirelessly crawling forward!
He handed the sword to Little Lue, pointing at the two zombies on the ground in front.
By this time, Little Lue, seeing the three in front displaying such prowess, could no longer contain himself.
Throwing the wooden stick aside, he imitated Li Hang, stabbing towards one of the crawling zombies.
Not anticipating how hard the zombie's head would be, the stab only went in a few centimeters.
However, the zombie on the ground was still crawling forward. Little Lue was startled and immediately jumped back.
It was just at this moment that the door was pushed open by Li Hongyuan and Second Uncle Li Hongda.
Little Lue looked at Li Yu embarrassedly, then thrust the straight sword forward.
With a forceful stab!
Squelch!
The zombie's head burst open like a broken watermelon,
Blood and brain matter splattered.
Li Hongyuan rushed over after opening the door, seeing all the zombies lying on the ground, looking at everyone with astonishment.
Seeing that all the zombies had been dealt with, Aunt hurriedly got out of the car.
Running to Little Lue's side, looking at this half-grown child, his clothes covered in zombie blood, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Li Hongyuan was about to ask Li Yu in detail about what had happened when he noticed that the zombies lying on the ground looked somewhat familiar.
Isn't this... isn't this motorcycle repairman Li Sanshui?
And aren't these old Liu and old Xie who lived in the vegetable market?
What's going on? With a mind full of questions, Li Hongyuan looked at Li Yu.
Seeing Li Hongyuan's gaze, Li Yu said solemnly, "Dad, I told you before. A friend of mine in M City warned me. Based on the current situation, it seems the virus has infected them, turning them into zombies."
"But they were all people?!"
"Do they look anything like people to you now?" Li Yu said.
Aunt beside also chimed in, "Brother-in-law, these people have been infected and turned into monsters, just like Xiao Yu said, they're called zombies now. They bite people on sight. Just now we—"
As she was speaking, inside the big gate, Li Yu's other relatives also rushed out upon hearing the commotion.
Li Yu had originally not wanted his family to see these things, especially grandpa and grandma, great-uncle and great-aunt, as they were elderly. He was afraid of frightening them.
But on second thought, the apocalypse had already arrived, and he couldn't be by their side protecting them 24 hours a day.
It would be good for them to know what was happening now.
In case something happened in the future, everyone wouldn't feel caught off guard.
However, contrary to Li Yu's expectations, grandpa and the others weren't frightened.
The elderly who had lived through the mid-20th century had seen and experienced much.
What hadn't they been through!
As long as people weren't starving to death, it wasn't considered terrifying.
But the younger ones couldn't handle this scene as well, hiding behind their parents after seeing it.
Second Uncle and Fourth Uncle at the front examined the zombies carefully, their faces grim.
After great-uncle and grandpa inquired about the situation outside from Li Hongyuan, they sighed deeply:
Life won't be easy in these times!
Who knows how third son Li Hongqian, far away, is doing now.
At these words,
Great-aunt and grandmother also began to worry about second uncle and little aunt's family in Beijing.
Alas! If only they had insisted more strongly on persuading them to come back!
Now it's hard to know what to do, with them so far away.
And it's so chaotic out there!
Li Yu's mother and grandmother started crying, worrying as they cried.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned sorrowful.
Everyone, feel free to bookmark this! Thank you!
Wishing everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance!
