Chapter 591 Dilemma, darkness and light (lead update 47)

It is human nature to long for sunlight.

Humans are social animals. Once a person is alone in a dark environment for a long time, it is easy to collapse.

Before the end of the world, there was a kind of criminal law in prisons, which would lock many criminals in small dark rooms. If it goes on for a long time, people's spirits will fail, and in serious cases, it will lead to insanity.

In that kind of small dark room, absolute silence and darkness are maintained, and most people can't stand it for six hours.

Absolute silence, absolute darkness, an invisible killing knife.

Although it is said that in the current apocalypse, the space is wider and there are sounds, the long-lasting darkness has a great psychological impact on many people.

Especially for some lone wolves, in this long dark night, loneliness and despair are like the tide, which will drown a person.

Human beings have never been so eager for light and sunshine.

Prosper the city.

There is a group of people trapped on a high building.

Nowhere to go.

The food has been finished.

The food they originally stored was actually quite small, but they just didn't expect the high temperature to last for so long. After the high temperature ended, they thought it was all over.

Unexpectedly, the high temperature was just the beginning, followed by continuous darkness, acid rain, and now the temperature continued to drop, with black snow falling.

They have been on the top floor of this building for a long time.

Now the door is blocked by zombies, and the range of activities has become even narrower.

"Brother Lu Kuan, what should we do now? There is no food now. If we don't find food to replenish our strength as soon as possible, we may not be able to resist the zombies if this continues." One of them said worriedly.

Lu Kuan frowned. He didn't think about what to do for a while.

According to what Ai Shan said just now, there are a lot of zombies outside the door. If they open the door, they will definitely not be able to resist with just seven or eight of them.

It is absolutely impossible to break out from the door.

I can only think of other ways.

But the building they were in was separated from the buildings next to it.

Lu Kuan looked out the window, dazed.

The zombies behind the door were still beating on the door, and the tables and other things that were blocked were shaken.

Death place!

Lu Kuan sat down, held his head, and was silent for a long time.

After a while, he said: "I know the problem we are facing now, but where can we go? The door is blocked, open the door? If we open the door, we may be torn apart by the zombies outside before we can run out."

What he said was true, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, a rough-looking man couldn't help but said: "Everyone is dead, so why not open the door and fight the zombies? If we stay here, we will die sooner or later. We will die sooner or later, so why not give it a chance?"

After saying that, he picked up an ax and wanted to open the door and fight the zombies for a chance.

The people around him quickly stopped him.

"Can you find food when you go out? Are you kidding? What time is it now? Do you think you can find food when you go out now?"

There was a young man next to him, stopping him and saying angrily.

People nearby also gave advice:

"At least we are still alive now. If you open the door, you want everyone to die here."

"Yes, you want to die, but we don't want to die yet. Don't do stupid things. Don't drag us down."

Ai Shan looked at them, feeling very desperate and sat directly on the chair at the back.

Um?

He suddenly saw a rope they often carried. This rope was very strong and had good performance.

An idea came to his mind. He picked up the rope and said to them: "I have an idea. Now the zombies are concentrated at the gate downstairs. We can lower the rope from the window at the back. This way We can escape from here."

After Lu Kuan heard this, he sat up, his eyes were shining, and he looked at him and said, "Are you sure there are no zombies in other directions?"

"Yes, there shouldn't be." Ai Shan was a little unsure. In his opinion, there were so many zombies at the gate, but there couldn't be so many at the back door.

Hearing his vague words, Lu Kuan knew that he was not telling the truth, so he took the rope and compared the length. It was fifty meters. This length was enough for them to slide down from the roof of the building.

But if a zombie discovers it, he will be dead. This is an extremely risky action.

The most important thing now is whether their building is completely surrounded by zombies. If they are surrounded, then they can't go anywhere.

In order to verify whether there were zombies at the back door of the building, they planned to check it.

Lu Kuan took a flashlight and walked straight to the other direction on the top floor.

The building is large and there are many rooms in it.

But they have all been plundered.

Lu Kuan came to the opposite direction of the gate and opened the glass here.

Then he stuck his head out and shone the flashlight on the downstairs. It was dark, and he could see the turbulence below like a tide.

Lu Kuan's heart clicked, and the secret path really didn't work.

In order to verify that the following were indeed zombies, Lu Kuan took a ceramic cup from the table.

Smash it down.

Instead of hearing a crisp sound, I heard a pop——

This obviously hit the zombies.

Roar--

The two zombies that were hit roared, and the surrounding zombies also roared.

The last thoughts were extinguished, and Lu Kuan reluctantly closed the window. Now they could only wait to die.

The moment he closed the window, he suddenly saw the building opposite, which was only about twenty meters away from them.

Glass windows.

Um?

An idea flashed in my mind.

Rope, next door building?

He suddenly had a bold idea. Since they couldn't get down to the ground floor, they could find a way to get to the building opposite.

Of course it was impossible to fly over.

However, they have this rope. As long as they tie the rope to the opposite side, they can climb over.

How to throw the rope is a big problem.

He thought deeply, walked to Ai Shan, and picked up the rope.

They got this rope from an adventure store. It was not heavy, and after use, it was enough to bear the weight of two people.

How to throw it over and hang it securely is the biggest problem.

So I told everyone about this idea.

The rough-looking man said directly: "Let me try. It should not be difficult to throw it at twenty meters."

The person next to me said: "It's not difficult to throw it over. It's rare to hang it on it. Besides, don't you think it's best to stay here?

Even if it is thrown over and anchored, who will be the first to get up? It is such a high altitude and it is still snowing outside. What if it falls? What if the hook on the other side is not secure when climbing and it falls?

Moreover, even if we pass, who can guarantee that we will be able to find food after we pass?

Let me tell you, let's not bother and just wait here. If the zombies leave later, wouldn't it be fine then? "

Hearing what he said, the only girl in the team looked outside in fear and said, "I think so. Since we can't get out, we shouldn't keep thinking about going out. It's good here."

Lu Kuan frowned, now they were out of ammunition and food.

As for the water source, it is not a big problem. You can pull a pile of snow by the window and drink it when it melts. At most, it will bring some acid rain. Although it is harmful to the body, at least you will not die of thirst.

If I really stay here, I don’t know what will happen in the end.

They had heard other survivors say before that some teams were hungry until the end, and they killed each other and ended up eating human flesh.

Could it be that in the end, they will also have to deal with each other?

Thinking of this scene, Lu Kuan quickly suppressed the evil thoughts in his mind.

No, absolutely not. Once he does this, there will be no difference between him and a beast.

Lu Kuan shined the flashlight on everyone's faces and said seriously: "Try it, Lao Huang, you can throw it over later and see if it can get stuck."

Then he searched around the room, found an object of suitable size and weight, and tied it to one end of the rope.

Lao Huang took the rope, carried it, and walked towards the window.

At this time, Lu Kuan spoke again to the two people who wanted to stay: "This time, the choice is in your own hands. Come with us, or stay, it's up to you."

After saying that, he ignored the two of them and walked to the window. Ai Shan quickly followed.

Open the window and shine the flashlight on the building opposite.

The building opposite was quiet and there didn't seem to be any zombies.

Lu Kuan shined the flashlight on the opposite side, and the light reflected from the glass on the opposite side looked a bit dazzling.

"Then I lost it." Lao Huang paused and said to the others.

"Well, throw it in the middle. The window is open. See if you can get it stuck on that window. It will be stronger if stuck there." Lu Kuan reminded.

Lao Huang is very strong.

He took two steps back slightly, lifted up the object wrapped in the rope, and threw it suddenly.

Hurrah——

The rope on the ground flew out, and the end of the rope was tied to the load-bearing pillar in the room.

Bang——

It did not hit the open window. Instead, it fell, hit the glass below, and fell into the opposite room.

Lao Huang tightened the rope. With this pull, it seemed that the object was not stuck anywhere and was pulled out directly.

Falling straight downstairs.

Upon seeing this, Lao Huang quickly pulled the rope hard and took it back.

But the speed was still a few seconds slower, and due to inertia, the rope was swung to the glass of their building.

Huge inertia acts directly on that object.

Bang——

Then they smashed the glass downstairs on their side.

The huge noise made the zombies downstairs even more excited.

There was a continuous roar.

Lu Kuan said quickly and stepped forward to help pull up the rope.

Fortunately, the rope that rippled back was not caught by anything downstairs.

"Try again, aim a little bit." Lu Kuan said.

After Lao Huang pulled the rope up, he didn't throw it over immediately.

Calmly, he stared at the window opposite for several minutes.

After looking at it for a long time, he slowly picked up the object tied by the rope.

Hey--

This time, Lao Huang used his greatest strength, and the object flew directly in that direction.

Lu Kuan looked at the object flying in the air and calculated its flight trajectory.

Slightly downward, yes, that's right.

Lu Kuan nervously watched the trajectory of the object flying past.

Clang——

Flying directly into the window of their dreams!

Lu Kuan didn't wait for Lao Huang to pull back. He went over and grabbed the rope, and then slowly retracted the rope.

Lao Huang's strength just now was too strong, and the rope flew out more than half, at least thirty meters.

The object probably rolled several meters inside after entering through the opposite window.

Lu Kuan slowly pulled the rope back, hoping to trip over something so that he would have a support.

Click——

In the quiet night, there is a small voice.

Lu Kuan was very patient. When he felt his hand pull over, there was a lot more weight, and he knew he must have hit something.

Keep dragging, dragging.

Ten seconds later, he felt that the rope was almost at the window.

So he pulled hard.

In an instant, the rope stretched straight.

The object was tied to a chair, and under a huge pull, it was pulled with a rope to the window.

The rope turned firmly several times and got stuck on the handle on the glass window.

Lu Kuan suppressed his inner excitement and continued to pull back the rope.

Until the rope is completely straight, then tighten it and wrap the excess rope around the load-bearing pillar here.

Then tie a knot firmly.

Lao Huang also pulled the rope, and it was very tight.

"It's done!" Lao Huang grinned.

However, there is a problem next.

Who goes by first?

The first person to pass must be the most dangerous, because it is not clear whether the blockage is firm or not.

But as long as the first person passes, it can be guaranteed that the other side is solid.

Everyone is aware of this problem. You look at me and I look at you.

In the end, everyone stared at each other.

After a few seconds, all eyes turned towards Ai Shan.

Ai Shan has minimized his presence and has not spoken much.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were turned towards him, leaving him speechless for a while. Why him again?

Don't even think about it?

Don’t even think about it!

Ai Shan lowered his head and ignored everyone's looks.

"Ahem." Lu Kuan coughed twice.

Then he said to Ai Shan: "Xiaoshan, you see that you also attracted this zombie. You should go there first."

"That's right, Xiaoshan, you are the lightest, and you played it safe in the past. If it were me, maybe it would be too heavy and the hook over there would collapse." Lao Huang also said.

"Oh..." Aishan sighed.

Continue to bow your head and immerse yourself in being an ostrich.

This is too dangerous, absolutely impossible.

Others have opened their mouths to persuade him.

Impossible, his head shook like a rattle.

Five minutes later, Aishan sadly accepted the fact that his first one had passed.

I’m so speechless.

He put on the above gloves, and then held a pillow. The head of this pillow was to be placed on the rope to increase the contact area and avoid cutting his hands.

Ai Shan was trembling all over, and he pulled the rope tremblingly.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he gritted his teeth and climbed up directly.

But he said that this zombie migration is not limited to Gan Province.

In other neighboring provinces at the same longitude, more and more zombies are slowly appearing.

These zombies were in groups, heading south slowly against the dark snow.

The zombie army, like the dark clouds in the sky at this time, is becoming more and more numerous and growing in size.

Although there will be a short stop on the road, once humans are discovered, they are like water from a dam, flooding a house in an instant.

Less than 50 kilometers away from the Western Alliance, from the northeast, there was a zombie wave of hundreds of thousands, heading in their direction.

And as they entered the city center, the size of the zombies doubled.

Darkness has long shrouded, and zombies continue to destroy human habitats.

Dark, dark, darker.

In light, darkness is darker;

In darkness, light shines brighter!
