Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 411 - 409: Great Escape Through the Well Shaft (Part 11)

Chapter 411: Chapter 409: Great Escape Through the Well Shaft (Part 11)

The wall is 5 meters high, climbing over it requires a human ladder. But in this critical moment, not to mention whether the ladder can be set up, even if it can, someone will fall.

What to do? Lin Junfu was stunned. He was the one who led everyone into this alley, and although his intentions were good, the final result...

The atmosphere suddenly tightened. The persistent zombies showed no sign of giving up due to the disappearance of their prey, instead, they were even more excited, and the "wailing" sound of the wooden fence was unceasing.

Listening to that desperate sound, Hu Xiaodong clenched his fists tightly.

"Brother Hu! Can you try using the crowbar to pry open this iron railing?" A worried female voice suddenly sounded. Hu Xiaodong instinctively glanced back, and when he saw the position Wei Yang pointed to, his nearly dead heart reignited.

No need for further thought, Hu Xiaodong took a few steps forward. The iron railing was embedded in the window frame for protection. Once pried open, there’s hope for escape.

He began inserting the crowbar into the gap of the iron railing, using the lever principle to exert force. Although it uses torque to reduce effort, the previous hacking had already consumed most of his strength, so at this point, he was somewhat powerless.

Seeing Hu Xiaodong’s "predicament", Wei Dazhuang quickly tucked the wooden stick into his waist and decisively came over to lend a hand.

With one pulling and one pushing, Wei Dazhuang’s help undoubtedly provided great support to Hu Xiaodong.

The originally immobile iron railing finally showed signs of bending under their combined effort.

Seeing the railing tremble, Lin Junfu snapped out of his daze.

Hope is indeed an odd thing; it can ignite people’s potential at the most critical moment.

Lin Junfu would not miss this opportunity to rectify his mistake. He immediately joined the group trying to pry open the window.

Thus, the three men used all their strength to work together to "live".

"Come on! Uncle Lin! Come on!" The young Fangfang started to cheer for the uncles and dads in front of her, feeling the pressure of survival.

Upon hearing Fangfang’s cheering voice, Lin Junfu’s heart suddenly throbbed, recalling Yan Hua’s last instructions before his death.

"Take good care of my daughter, she’s young, she shouldn’t have to endure these pains! Please!"

Yes, I can’t fall here; I must survive to bring Fangfang out!

Strength seemed to suddenly erupt, Lin Junfu let out a roar of release, and then his arms started to swell, with veins popping out.

The iron railing finally bent, succumbing to the human’s intense "will to survive" after several tens of seconds of fierce "struggle".

Success is initially difficult, but once the beginning is made, everything else follows.

As the bending of the railing grew aggressive, the survivors, having dealt with the lower part, immediately moved to the top. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Similarly, while the survivors progressed smoothly, the zombies on the other side of the wooden fence were relentless.

With their persistent "efforts", cracks had appeared on the surface of the wooden fence, and both welding points showed signs of collapsing due to the pressure.

Obviously, this had become a race against speed. Whoever finishes their work first will get what they wish for.

"Creak!" With the last sound of iron bending, a half-human-high arc-shaped hole burst forth, and Lin Junfu and others finally pried open an escape passage.

"Everyone, move away!" Hu Xiaodong raised his hand to signal everyone to back off, then rushed toward the closed window with the crowbar and smashed it fiercely.

Instantly, shattered glass fell like raindrops, and once the window was broken, Hu Xiaodong hurriedly started turning the inside latch.

"Dazhuang! You’re first!"

Considering possible danger inside, Wei Dazhuang didn’t hesitate, quickly jumped onto the windowsill, and slipped inside.

Then Wei Yang, Fangfang, and A Cheng followed, but when it came to He Jing, the escape "rhythm" was interrupted again.

Still lethargic and lifeless, He Jing was no different from a walking corpse.

Lin Junfu, who had been "carrying" her all along, was well aware of this.

Frankly speaking, without his pushing and pulling, she might have long been surrounded and killed by zombies outside.

"Sigh~" He sighed bitterly. Seeing the woman like this, Lin Junfu undoubtedly felt the worst.

After all, he didn’t manage to bring Yan Hua out alive, although objectively speaking, it wasn’t his fault, some things can’t be explained with objectivity.

At least in He Jing’s eyes, Lin Junfu was a man of broken promises.

Of course, those things didn’t matter to her anymore because when the person she stayed with and relied on died, her heart also died.

"Xiao He! Xiao He!" Hu Xiaodong shook He Jing’s shoulders vigorously, understanding her pain, but now wasn’t the time for sorrow.

Still no response, Hu Xiaodong, annoyed and helpless, had no choice but to lift He Jing forcefully.

"Come on, Dazhuang! Grab her!"

Weighing 90 pounds, the woman’s weight was manageable for Hu Wei, who exercised regularly and worked on the ground.

So, with their relay effort, they successfully lifted He Jing into the house.

Almost simultaneously as He Jing entered the house, the fence, which had held on for a long time, finally collapsed under pressure.

The liberated zombies, immediately resembling freed prisoners, charged into the alley with shouts.

"Old Lin! Quick! Get up!"

Hu Xiaodong held the iron railing with both hands, his tiger eyes nervously watching the alley’s direction.

Lin Junfu wanted to decline but hearing the increasingly close growls, he knew it was a race against time.

Support, jump, leap! As Lin Junfu landed, he heard a "snap" behind him.

He turned around in shock to see it was Hu Xiaodong who had killed an incoming "enemy".

A false alarm, but the crisis continued. Old Lin quickly reached out his right hand toward Hu Xiaodong, who was still on guard, shouting loudly: "Xiao Hu, I’m done! Hurry up here!"

Without needing much prompting from others, Hu Xiaodong was already prepared for retreat.

Without further ado, he turned and jumped onto the windowsill, then slipped inside.

At the last minute! Lin Junfu clearly saw that just as Hu Xiaodong slipped inside, several Black Shadows charged out. Judging from their agile movements, they were without a doubt the evolved "Pacers"!

Whole group successfully hid in the small house, but the zombie pursuit continued; just as they saw Hu Xiaodong’s last fall into the window. So...(to be continued.
