Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 392 - 390: Bulldozer Rescue (Part 2)

Controlling the shovel isn’t as simple as one might imagine. Although Li Xiaoxin learned it from his father at one time, that was quite a while ago, so he’s struggling a bit now.

Fortunately, there’s still some distance to go before reaching the teaching building, giving him enough time to adjust and fiddle with it.

Seeing the shovel constantly approaching and bouncing up and down, old Zhao couldn’t help but anxiously call everyone to move back.

"Bang!" About 30 seconds later, with a violent shudder, the enormous shovel fiercely collided with the surface of the building.

"Damn it! It’s still off by a bit!"

Due to technical limitations, Li Xiaoxin’s final landing point for the shovel was about 50 centimeters higher than the target spot.

However, he remained composed, quite calm, as his hand "pulls and pushes," and the massive shovel started operating again.

Soon, dust scattered all around, and the building trembled, forcing old Zhao and others inside to raise their arms to shield their noses from the choking dust.

Finally, after Li Xiaoxin’s relentless efforts, the stubborn shovel finally landed where it was supposed to.

"Old Zhao, Xiao Wang, hurry up and get on the shovel!" Upon receiving the order, old Zhao didn’t hesitate, immediately calling the team members below to get on one by one.

"Everyone, be careful! Be extremely careful!"

No doubt, the rescue team at this moment needed to be extra cautious because, during the short time the shovel had stopped, those beasts that had escaped the fate of being crushed into patties were again swarming in, heedlessly.

Numerous arms stretched upward, as the ravenous beasts, like devout followers, emitted groans and roars, offering their "homage" to the survivors climbing onto the shovel.

Unfortunately for them, they were just ordinary "Pacers." Even with a mix of some "Runners," they didn’t possess the ability to climb.

This made Li Xiaoxin, in the position control room, slightly more at ease; otherwise, he would have to drive away to avoid being ambushed by those damned beasts.

In contrast to Li Xiaoxin’s calmness, Tang Xiaoquan in the rear vehicle wasn’t so lucky.

The city management vehicle couldn’t compare with the heavy shovel in terms of armor or height, so seeing the increasingly numerous zombies, he could only shout again: "Li Xiaoxin! There are too many zombies here. Let’s take them for a spin first, and then meet at the school gate!"

"OK!" Honking twice, Li Xiaoxin responded.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Perhaps realizing the prey was about to escape, or maybe seeing the prey right in front of them yet unable to feast, the irritated zombies started roaring together. The undulating sound waves sent chills straight to the core.

Sharp claws scraped against the tire surface, leaving marks and teeth gnawed at the car body, producing chilling scratches.

Despite being about 10 meters off the ground, the survivors climbing onto the shovel couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.

Thanks to Li Xiaoxin’s perfect placement of the shovel, old Zhao and three others smoothly got into the shovel.

"Everyone! Hold on tight! We’re leaving this damned place now!"

After the warning, Li Xiaoxin coldly glanced at the zombies below, an icy flash disappeared quickly.

"Crunch, crunch!"

As expected, with the movement of the vehicle, the familiar sound of bodies being crushed was heard once again.

Although Zhao Yunhai had driven and run over zombies several times before, never had he experienced something as unobstructed as this.

There was no suspense at all; the zombies had no resistance capabilities, and the shovel was conducting a one-sided crushing.

As the shovel continued to advance, the zombies fell one after another. Old Zhao swore, this was surely the first time during his apocalypse survival he had such an advantage over the zombies.

He even began to fantasize. If they could get a few more of these "big fellows," what would there be to fear about the zombies in the desolate city!

Unfortunately, although these "big fellows" had strong firepower, they also consumed fuel without restraint.

Besides, old Zhao didn’t yet know about the rescue team’s Factory encounter; otherwise, if he had known about the "Climbers," he wouldn’t have held such naive thoughts.

Effortlessly breaking through the enemy lines, and with the shovel’s breakthrough, the previously roaring and tumultuous campus quieted down considerably.

Looking around, the open space in front of the teaching building had become a graveyard piled with corpses. The bloody scene even made a seasoned "veteran" like old Zhao involuntarily furrow his brow.

These were all kids in the bloom of youth! Each one was a precious heart to their parents, but now...

"Aye~" With a long sigh, although he had long grown indifferent to death, as one who was also a parent, Zhao Yunhai still felt deep sorrow for these tragically deceased children.

"I hope my wife and kids are well!"

Amidst the rain and tears, old Zhao and his group safely rendezvoused with the city management vehicle driven by Xu Renjie at the school gate.

Considering the waiting by the base, both parties didn’t exchange much and directly drove in fast retreat toward the direction they came from.

Without a word all the way, after suffering through the agonizing endeavor for over 10 hours, the action team members leaned like wilted cabbage against the inner walls of the shovel.

The vehicle moved steadily forward. With the great entity like the shovel clearing the way, the survivors didn’t have to worry about any road obstacles.

They quickly reached the main road, and after nearly 30 minutes of silent riding, Wang Zhongyu, who had been half-closing his eyes, suddenly sat up straight, raised a finger, and instinctively reminded: "Hey! Hey! Everyone look over there~ Everyone look!"

Startled by the young man’s shout, old Zhao and the others immediately woke up, opening their eyes alertly.

And upon looking in the indicated direction, every face flashed with a hint of astonishment.

"Isn’t that..." Seemingly uncertain, Yue Guishan parted his lips but didn’t continue.

But although he didn’t continue, Bi Dahu beside him affirmed with conviction: "That’s our vehicle!"

Indeed, the vehicle now in the survivors’ sight was the "Jeep Wrangler" that was seized by Zhao Huilong from them.

But why would this vehicle appear here, and in such a manner?

Bi Dahu’s following question voiced everyone’s doubts.

However, as a professional racer, Wang Zhongyu investigated the conditions of the entire road and the collision traces on the vehicle, then lightly commented with a tilted lip: "Looks like Zhao Huilong got too nervous and excited escaping, mishandled the operation, leading to the accident due to skidding on the road!"

After listening to the young man’s analysis, Zhao Yunhai nodded indifferently and then mused to himself: 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Justice prevails eventually, and those who commit too many wrongful acts will self-destruct. This saying is indeed true!" (To be continued.
