Chapter 1417: Sneak in the Village (5)
"Are you ready?" Lao Xu asked in a low voice.
Hu Xiaodong and Wei Dazhuang both nodded.
After receiving their replies, Lao Xu stared, raised his feet and stepped on the platform built by the arms of Hu and Wei, and jumped up with the help of his strength.
At the same time as he jumped up, he extended his arms and then firmly grasped the cabinet tripod.
Suddenly being grabbed by a living person, the rusty tripod inevitably let out a miserable cry.
At this sound, almost everyone, including Lao Xu, gasped.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Xiaodong quickly picked up the compound bow, and after saying to Wei Dazhuang, "Be optimistic about Lao Xu," he and Huo Yuankai prepared for a battle that could start at any time.
In order to avoid further disturbing the zombies, neither Hu Xiaodong nor Huo Yuankai showed their faces. They each guarded the side of the building, ready to fight at any time.
The team members below did not move, and Lao Xu above also remained still.
However, compared to the state of Hu Xiaodong and others, it is not easy for Lao Xu to remain the same.
After all, his current situation is that his arms are half-suspended, which requires arm strength. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it, not to mention that Lao Xu has to remain relatively still and unable to move.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. All team members held their breath and concentrated, adjusting their breathing to the lowest level to reduce their attraction to zombies as much as possible.
The atmosphere was quite dangerous, with Hu Xiaodong and Huo Yuankai all clinging to their hands.
After being frozen like this for about a minute, and feeling that there was no excessive movement outside, Lao Xu started to take further action.
Hanging for a long time also made his arms a little sore, but Xu Renjie's perseverance has long been cultivated by years of training.
Stretching out a hand, Xu Renjie grabbed the edge of the cabinet with one palm, then used both arms at the same time, lifted his waist, and supported the cabinet.
The movements may seem simple, but the strength and skills required cannot be explained in just one or two sentences.
After getting to the cabinet, Lao Xu squatted down and breathed heavily.
It can be seen that the series of exercises just now made him a little tired.
It's no wonder, after all, Lao Xu hung on the tripod for more than a minute, which was a great drain on Lao Xu's physical energy.
Fortunately, Lao Xu didn't disturb any zombies during the whole climbing process. Anyway, so far, the outgoing team hasn't seen any zombies come up to harass them.
After a short rest, Lao Xu made an OK gesture to Wei Dazhuang.
He knew that the noise he had just made had also frightened the brothers below.
Standing up again, Lao Xu stretched out his left arm, tested it, and easily touched the upper window edge.
After the test was correct, Lao Xu pulled out the tiger fang from his waist, opened the screen window, and reached out to unlatch the latch.
The window opened easily as expected, and after putting away the tiger teeth, Lao Xu didn't spend much time climbing up the window edge.
After entering and landing, Lao Xu pulled out his O6 pistol.
The room was a bit dark and smelled dull. Lao Xu did not rush to take the next step, but squatted on the ground, resisting the gun and assuming a vigilant posture.
Opening his ears and listening carefully to the movement in the house, Old Xu could faintly hear the sounds of zombies moving inside.
Half-crouching, Lao Xu slowly moved forward. From the furnishings in the room, it was not difficult to tell that the room he was currently in was a bedroom.
At this time, the bedroom door was closed, and Lao Xu was not in a hurry to deal with the zombies outside the house.
Next, he faced the problem of how to get the remaining team members into the house.
After all, this climbing job cannot be accomplished by brute force alone.
In addition, the angle frame made some noise just now, which made Lao Xu even more worried about climbing.
The fact that the zombies weren't attracted before was probably due to luck.
But luck is never something that humans can control.
Lao Xu would not put the fate of the team in the unknown.
But if we don't do this, how can we get the team members up?
After thinking briefly, Lao Xu immediately turned his eyes to the sheets on the bed.
Got it!!
His eyes lit up, and Old Xu took it to heart.
At that moment, without saying anything, they walked to the bedside in twos and twos.
Anyway, the door was locked at the moment, so Lao Xu didn't have to worry about the beasts outside opening the door and entering on their own.
After arriving at the bedside, Lao Xu lifted up the sheets, then took out the tiger teeth and began to scratch the sheets.
The situation has become very obvious. Lao Xu is planning to use the sheet cloth strips to climb out the rope.
With this thing, the team members below don't have to worry about the tripod making any noise when climbing up.
With no one to help, Lao Xu could only fiddle around on his own.
While he was busy up there, Hu Xiaodong and others were also busy down below, and they were all highly alert to their surroundings.
Because of this seemingly peaceful state, no one knows what crisis will arise in the next second.
If you want to survive, you have to be on high alert every second of the apocalypse.
After some complicated "interweaving", Lao Xu finally completed the work at hand.
A not-so-good-looking climbing rope came into being due to Lao Xu’s efforts.
After taking a few breaths, Lao Xu adjusted his mood.
When it's over, get up, pick up the rope and go to the window.
As soon as he showed his head, Wei Dazhuang shouted to the team members: "Here he comes! Old Xu is here!"
There was no news for almost three minutes. Although Hu Xiaodong and others said nothing, they were still worried about Lao Xu.
There was no way, "The sky is high and the emperor is far away", Lao Xu would not give any news about the situation upstairs, and Hu Xiaodong and others could not provide support no matter how worried they were.
Now that Lao Xu has reappeared, the team members are really reassured.
It was all nonsense as usual, so Lao Xu simply threw down the cloth in his hand.
The linked cloth strips dropped smoothly to the ground, and were at least 1 meter longer.
Seeing the bed rope dropped from the window, everyone immediately understood what Lao Xu meant.
Hu Xiaodong glanced at his teammates and said to Wei Dazhuang: "Brother Dazhuang, you go first."
When it comes to making seeds, anyone can do it without anyone, but Wei Dazhuang cannot be left out.
So it was a certainty that Wei Dazhuang would go to the window.
Wei Dazhuang was impatient for a long time, so he did not shirk at the moment and nodded. After attaching the two sickles to his back, he picked up the rope from the ground and wrapped it twice around his waist and abdomen.
At this time, the extra length that Lao Xu deliberately made was reflected.
After the winding was completed, Wei Dazhuang took a few deep breaths, then stepped on the wall and began to climb up.
This climbing action requires a lot of coordination and strength. Fortunately, this is not the first time Wei Dazhuang has undertaken this project.
Before, he had done something with his team members in order to escape during the doomsday journey.
So he had some experience doing it at this time. Although he was not as graceful and free as Lao Xu during the climb, he still completed the climb very smoothly in the end.
Stretching out his right hand, Lao Xu pulled Wei Dazhuang into the room.
After settling down, Lao Xu motioned to Wei Dazhuang to rest beside the bed.
Chapter completed!
