Chapter 55 - 52: Speed of Life and Death!
Li Yu, after resting at home for a day, started to feel anxious and sought out his Uncle.
To prevent prolonged complications, it was best to secure the firearms and ammunition early for peace of mind.
Therefore, on the morning of their third day back from the County,
Li Yu, along with Li Tie, Li Hang, Yang Tianlong, his Uncle Liu Jianwen, Zhao Dapao, and Lai Dongsheng, a group of seven, set out.
At home, Li Gang, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and others stayed behind to guard the base.
To accommodate more firearms, they drove an armored police explosion-proof vehicle and a heavy truck this time.
Seeing Third Uncle on the Observation Tower, Li Yu waved his hand,
Third Uncle had also enlisted in his earlier years, but he didn't serve for long,
Later he entered the business world,
But he always had a fixation with the military life,
That's why he initially encouraged Li Tie and Li Gang, the brothers, to join the army.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, and there was a slight chill in the air.
Third Uncle and Uncle opened the gate.
The vehicles started, and they set off!
The convoy slowly exited the perimeter wall.
.....
Along the way, they encountered zombie hordes.
A few scattered zombies caused no trouble,
And after less than half an hour,
As they neared the County, Li Yu asked, "Uncle, can you tell us how to get to the armory?"
"Not far from the Government, just beside Xingguo Road, actually right at the Armed Police Battalion headquarters."
Li Yu nodded, having a general idea in his mind.
Checking the map, he saw it was just a few kilometers from the Tianhua Building.
His gaze narrowed; hopefully, they wouldn't run into that Brother Hao.
As they got closer to the center of the County, the number of zombies increased,
But since it was daytime, the zombies were not very active,
Whether it was the explosion-proof vehicle or the heavy truck,
Both performance and protection were quite decent,
Encountering zombies, they simply bulldozed through,
Leaving a long trail of blood on the ground where they passed.
"We're almost there, just around the corner," Uncle said, looking at a building ahead.
"Uncle, that armory you mentioned before, it's underground?" asked Li Yu.
"Yes, on the second subfloor, I'll lead you there when we arrive."
As they turned the corner, they finally reached the gates of the Armed Police Battalion.
Two large iron doors stood there
Zombies gathered more and more around the vehicles, some even laying on the car windows.
Li Yu used the walkie-talkie to speak with Yang Tianlong behind him: "Turn around,
After I bash the gates open, you drive in and block them with the truck."
Li Yu knew clearly that although the truck couldn't fully block the gates, it could still seal the middle, preventing too many zombies from coming in at once.
"Okay, I'll follow your lead," Yang Tianlong started the heavy truck, and the cumbersome vehicle clumsily turned around, crushing many zombies into a pulp.
Seeing Yang Tianlong had turned around, Li Yu patted Li Tie, who was dazedly watching the zombies.
"Go in!" Li Yu shouted loudly.
"Oh oh, alright!" As if startled awake, Li Tie drove the armored vehicle with full power and charged forward.
Boom!
Bang! Bang!
The two iron gates were smashed open, pulling apart two zombies at the gate into pieces.
Blood sprayed on the walls!
"Quick! Quick! Stick to the plan we discussed earlier, get off the vehicles first and deal with the zombies inside," Li Yu yelled.
The vehicles just charged in.
They stopped, Li Hang, Li Yu, Li Tie, and the Uncle got off.
The group quickly eliminated a few zombies dressed in uniforms still inside the gates.
The heavy truck followed closely, also reversing inside, but like a tide,
Like a dam opening its gates, like a flood pouring out.
Bang bang bang!
Four people, two on each side, firing at full capacity.
The flashes from the submachine guns lit up the area.
Zombies were being killed, and those behind couldn't keep up,
creating a immediate gap in time.
"Stop! Wait for them to get off the truck," Li Yu shouted loudly.
Everyone stopped firing, waiting for the three people on the truck to disembark.
Lai Dongsheng, not used to using guns, always relied on his strength, holding two mountain blades in his hands.
The door opened, he rushed down with two mountain blades, followed closely by Yang Tianlong and the others.
"Follow the plan, Tiezi, Tianlong, Dapao, you resist the zombies outside, we'll go in and move the weapons," Li Yu, seeing the zombies slowly gathering again, shouted loudly.
Li Tie and Yang Tianlong stood one on each side of the truck, continuously firing at the approaching zombies.
Zhao Dapao in the middle, constantly supporting Li Tie and Yang Tianlong.
Seeing the zombie crowd gradually being held steady, thankful that they had guns; otherwise, thinking of coming here to move the weapons,
was simply a pipe dream!
If they were using knives, they wouldn't be able to hold off so many zombies in such a short time!
Seemingly attracted by the gunfire, zombies from further away were also drawn in, and more zombies started gathering outside.
But unfortunately, blocked by the heavy truck in the middle, they could only squeeze in from the gaps on either side.
This greatly eased the pressure on Li Tie and the others.
Fortunately, this Armed Police Battalion headquarters had a fairly high wall, so zombies temporarily couldn't enter from other places.
Watching Li Tie and others continuously killing zombies,
Li Yu passed most of the bullets he had to them,
then quickly asked Uncle to lead the way,
they couldn't hold on for too long.
The consumption of bullets, bullets being exhausted,
but these zombies, simply impossible to kill off!
If the ammunition of Li Tie and the other two ran out before moving the weapons,
what awaited them, would be being devoured by zombies!
"Follow me!" Uncle said, then directly pushed open the glass doors of the Armed Police Battalion hall,
Inside the glass doors, there were surprisingly two, armed neatly in Armed Police gear,
wearing protective helmets and body armor!
Two zombies pounced, Li Yu and Li Hang each took one, directly stabbing their knives towards the neck.
The neck area wasn't so easy to pierce, the body armor served its purpose well.
Li Yu circled around the zombie, looking for an opportunity to strike.
After a round, Li Yu stepped back, then lunged forward, thrusting the knife straight into its neck.
The zombie fell.
On the other side, Li Hang struggled to find an opportunity to pierce.
Seeing this, Lai Dongsheng stepped forward to help, continuously chopping at the unprotected areas of the zombie with his two blades.
Lai Dongsheng, always doing physical labor, already had greater strength than ordinary people, with this chop, he directly chopped off a leg of the zombie above the knee.
Li Hang saw his chance, his knife targeted the zombie's neck.
Squish!
Zombies in armor, too difficult to deal with.
Seeing the zombies taken care of, Li Yu asked Uncle to lead the way.
Uncle, holding a submachine gun, headed towards the inner director's office.
"The keys to the downstairs, always in the director's office! Come with me."
After several twists and turns, they finally arrived at the office.
Looking at the office door also locked, seemingly needing a key.
Uncle fell silent!
"Step back!" Li Yu's mind raced, and he came up with a solution in less than a second.
Li Yu did not have time to wait that long, the longer they took,
the more danger Yang Tianlong and the others outside,
were in!
He raised his gun, aimed at the door lock, fired five shots,
Click!
The door lock was completely ruined!
