Chapter 281 The Miracle of Being Late
Seeing the forced smile on Lu Yu's face, Xiao Ran immediately understood what the other party was thinking.
The only escape passage in front of me was locked by a padlock. If you want to go back to get the key, there are zombies blocking the way.
Moreover, even if Lu Yu can kill the zombies in the corridor without any injury, and go upstairs to retrieve the lock-opening, the violently shaking residential building will not leave them too much time to escape.
The only way is to quickly break the door in front of you.
Only in this way can the two have enough time to escape before the residential building collapses.
"Is it possible that he is planning to tear the padlock off with his bare hands?"
Xiao Ran thought to herself that at such a crisis, her tacit understanding with Lu Yu can be said to be surprisingly high.
Without too much words, the little loli took a step apart, separated from Lu Yu and the fire escape.
"You get the door lock, I get the zombies behind you!"
The tender childish voice was full of determination. The girl put the modified crossbow in her hand on the bow and arrow, ready to shoot at any time.
This modified crossbow was caught by Lu Yu when he pulled her out of the house. Fortunately, the modified crossbow was placed on the table at that time, and because of its small size, Lu Yu was able to take it out in a hurry.
Otherwise, the two of them would be in a very unarmed state now.
Seeing Xiao Ran pressing the fear in her heart across the fire passage, Lu Yu immediately restrained the smile on his face, held the padlock on the door with both hands, and exerted his strength.
But the door lock just bumped on the door frame a few times, making a jingle sound, but it was not torn apart by Lu Yu, and even deformation did not occur.
The huge force that had previously fought against the muscle monster disappeared without a trace on Lu Yu. He pulled the door lock and became that ordinary young man. No matter how he roared, the steel padlock still showed no sign of breaking.
"Ao!"
The secondary infected body that walked out of the fire escape howled excitedly, and it smelled the smell of food, right in front of it.
Driven by instinct, the zombie stretched out her arms forward, couldn't wait to open her mouth, and pounced towards the direction where Xiao Ran was.
"Swoosh!"
The sound of arrows slashing through the air came from the modified crossbow. Xiao Ran pulled the trigger without hesitation. The close-range crossbow arrow shooting had a huge penetration power, and instantly stopped the zombie's forward pounce and opened a big hole in his head.
Due to such trauma, the secondary infected body naturally died. After twitching on the ground for a few times, there was no movement.
"Huh, fortunately you brought out the modified crossbow..."
Xiao Ran took a breath, subconsciously relaxed her body, and spoke.
But before she could finish her words, her intimidating roars came out of the fire escape one after another.
"Ao!!"
Xiao Ran's nerves tense again, and something sounded. The current residential building is no longer a safe area, but a Shura field full of zombies.
There are more than one zombie in the corridor!
There are only five arrows left to modify the crossbow.
The previous arrow was close to the shooting distance, and after piercing through the zombie's head, the arrow hit the wall, causing the arrow to burst and could no longer be used.
In such a small space, continuing to use modified crossbows will inevitably lose crossbow arrows.
When the remaining five arrows were all consumed, Xiao Ran would lead the unarmed embarrassment.
"Have you pulled it away? Several more zombies came from behind!"
Xiao Ran asked, but she didn't look back. She flew her fingers and put an arrow on the modified crossbow, ready to go.
"Uh..."
Facing Xiao Ran’s question, Lu Yu answered with a desperate shout.
The padlock is still the same padlock, with no sign of being torn apart.
Lu Yu even doubted whether the memory of resisting the muscle monster before was his own hallucination.
"Where did the previous power go? Stop it for me!"
Lu Yu was anxious, and beads of sweat as big as beans kept sliding down from his forehead, but the padlock in his hand still did not change at all.
"boom!"
The entire residential building seemed to be hit by something, and the explosion sounded quickly from the fire passage from the upper floor, causing bursts of smoke and dust.
However, this sound is nothing to those zombies moving down the fire passage. They only have one goal, that is, go downstairs, tear the prey to pieces and swallow it into their stomachs.
The zombie in the lead had a faint red light from her gray eyes, and the skin on her neck and chest also had regular scales. It is believed that in time, she could transform into a zombie.
It is precisely because of this that after discovering the prey, it ran faster than any secondary infected body and rushed to the front with the lead.
Xiao Ran, who was guarding the entrance of the fire passage, naturally couldn't wait for the zombie in the transformation stage to approach her. After the opponent entered the shooting distance of the crossbow arrow, the little loli decisively pulled the trigger.
The crossbow arrow with the sound of the wind instantly penetrated the zombie's big mouth and penetrated it from behind.
If this kind of injury is placed on ordinary secondary infected bodies, it will definitely be a situation where one blow will kill.
But it seems a bit invisible to look at this mutated zombie that is still in the transformation period.
The black mucus in the zombie's body quickly filled the entire wound. The attacked zombie staggered in place for a while, and roared in her mouth, and actually planned to launch an attack again.
"Are you okay? I can't stop it!"
Xiao Ran screamed in shock, his hand was even faster, and another arrow was placed on the modified crossbow, shooting at the mutant zombie's eyebrows with his backhand.
Although the first arrow did not bring down the zombie, the second arrow that came out immediately had an unexpected effect.
The steel arrow of the crossbow arrow pierced deeply into the head of the mutant zombie. Driven by kinetic energy, the mutant zombie, which was already unstable, lost its center of gravity and fell to the rear.
There are two secondary infections coming immediately behind it. Because they do not have visual ability yet, these two "followers" hit the mutant zombie head-on, temporarily blocking the not-so-wide fire passage.
"I said it was late to miracle, do you believe it?"
A wry smile appeared on Lu Yu's face. He really tried all the methods, but he almost opened his mouth and bit with his teeth, but the power on his body could not emerge. He seemed to be just an ordinary person, a slightly weak ordinary person.
"When is it all over you still joking!"
In this critical situation, even the little loli's tender childish voice became a little sharper.
Seeing the zombies blocking the fire passage trying to get up and rush towards the two of them, Xiao Ran felt a sense of heart, put a crossbow arrow on the bow, and held the modified crossbow with one hand.
The other hand held the remaining two crossbow arrows, with the arrow facing down, serving as a dagger for close combat.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air came again, and Xiao Ran's shooting target was a mutant zombie that was about to get up from the ground.
The effect of this arrow did not penetrate the skull as the little loli had expected, but rubbed the skull and stabbed it on the hard cement floor.
The entire crossbow arrow broke down after a crisp sound and turned into debris all over the ground.
After all, it is an arrow body made of furniture and wood. Its toughness is already very poor and cannot withstand violent impacts at all.
Good fortune comes, but misfortune never comes alone. But when Xiao Ran shot his last arrow, the residential building trembled sharply, and cracks spread rapidly on the walls. The sound of steel bars rubbing against concrete is like the cry of a hell ghost, announcing the upcoming ending of the two.
Lu Yu in front of the door also discovered the changes around him. In despair, he tried harder to pull the padlock, but these were all in vain.
The padlock was not pulled away by the sudden brute force, and the miracle did not happen as Lu Yu imagined.
It seemed as if everything had forced the two of them into a dead end, and there was no room for survival.
Just when Lu Yu felt that he was about to die here, the door in front of him suddenly became completely broken.
The glass, metal frame, and even the solid padlock in his hand fell apart in an instant and turned into broken dust all over the ground.
This happened so suddenly that Lu Yu didn't react for a while.
When the young man came to his senses, Lu Yu's right hand had been grabbed by Xiao Ran and led him to run outside the residential building.
The sound of bees singing filled his ear drums. Lu Yu could only see Xiao Ran's face showing a surprise expression, and his little mouth kept opening and closing, as if celebrating something.
But there was no sound coming into his ears.
"What's going on!"
Lu Yu was puzzled. Although he couldn't hear Xiao Ran's words, he took a step at the first time. He dodged the zombie behind him, picked up the little loli's body, and ran out as if he was dead.
After running two steps, Lu Yu realized that his ears were heard because he heard some loud noise, which caused tinnitus to appear stressfully.
The road in front of the young man was covered by shadows and the sun was driven out of this area.
The towering residential buildings in the past were like giants who had lost their lives, falling down quickly.
A large amount of gravel and bricks hit the ground like raindrops. Although Lu Yu had already run very fast, he was inevitably hit by some gravels.
Heartache came from behind, and Lu Yu suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes, his steps were floating, and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that consciousness was about to be lost, Lu Yu hurriedly bit his tongue, trying to use this method seen in the novel to cheer himself up.
A more severe pain came from the tongue, like sprinkling a handful of pepper on Lu Yu's Tianling. Tears were like water cages that opened the gate, and instantly surged out of the young man's eyes.
I don’t know if it was because Lu Yu bit too much, but the bleeding from the wound on his tongue was too large. After mixing the saliva, it filled the lips and corners of his lips with the young man’s violent breathing.
"Wo Zhuo is easy to understand..."
Ambiguous swear words broke out from his mouth, and Lu Yu was like a crazy hen, running towards the community gate with Xiao Ran in his arms.
