Chapter 21: Game Begins: Maritime Banquet 21
Wen Nannan and Lu Huai had plenty of food, but the people below were running out of supplies.
Under the siege of numerous zombies, they had several disputes in the past three days, which gradually escalated from verbal altercations to physical conflicts.
Just now, a man was pushed off the container by his companion, and after a scream, he was devoured by the group of zombies below.
Half a minute later, a zombie with most of its body bitten off and only bones left stood up shakily.
The speed at which zombies transformed had become this fast.
Looking at their companion who had turned into a zombie, the people on the container started to quarrel and pointed their guns at each other.
Finally, the team split into two factions, and the two sides even fired a few shots into the air.
The intense noise made the zombies locked in the container restless.
Listening to the sound of the zombies scraping against the container below their feet, Wen Nannan had a bad feeling, "Mr. Lu, do you feel that the zombies in the container seem to be getting more and more active?"
Lu Huai nodded, then glanced at the person lying next to him, "Can't you sit up?"
"No." Wen Nannan refused without thinking. If they were discovered, Lu Huai, who was sitting, would be a bigger target and easier to attract firepower.
The people below became quiet, lying on the container like salted fish basking in the sun, temporarily losing the value of observation.
Wen Nannan returned to the container and lit the alcohol lamp.
With only these three kinds of canned food, Wen Nannan had been changing the way she cooked every day.
The aroma quickly dissipated in the air.
A short-haired man lying on the container below sniffed, "I seem to smell the scent of fermented black beans and fish."
"You're just hallucinating because you're starving." Another man in yellow said weakly, "There's only the stench of zombies here."
The man sighed, "If we continue like this, we'll starve to death sooner or later. It was so much better when we were in the kitchen before, with plenty of food and drinks."
"Alright, stop talking." The man in yellow glanced at the opposite side, and the two of them closed their eyes again.
"It smells so good." The short-haired man was intoxicated by the faint scent.
Influenced by the short-haired man, the man in yellow felt as if he could smell the scent too, and various delicacies appeared in his mind, making him swallow his saliva silently.
8:00 PM
The sky was gradually getting dark.
Wen Nannan looked at the sunset and made a small cross on the notebook, with only two days left until the end of the game.
"Today isn't over yet, you marked it too early." Lu Huai said lightly.
"Oh, there are still four hours left before today ends, it doesn't matter." Wen Nannan waved her hand and lay on her small bed. With only two days left, she was quite excited and nervous.
Lu Huai glanced at Wen Nannan next door, and finally lay down on his own side.
In the middle of the night, a violent explosion sounded, and even the container was shaking.
The two opened the container door and saw smoke and fire below.
The people below actually had grenades, which blew up numerous containers, and zombies fell from the sky like dumplings, swarming out.
The deck had completely become the world of zombies.
The people below panicked and lost their composure because of the siege of the zombies.
They used all the guns and ammunition they had. The sound of explosions was deafening, and the entire freighter was shaking.
"How much ammunition do they have?" Wen Nannan couldn't help but say, "No wonder their bags were so big, but the food they brought wasn't enough for two days."
"The situation is not good." Lu Huai frowned as he looked below.
As soon as he finished speaking, a bomb exploded below them.
The violent shaking made Wen Nannan almost fall off if not for Lu Huai pulling her back.
At this time, the container below them was about to be blown apart, and the stacked containers began to tilt outward, dangling in the air, making the sound of an impending fall.
"Pack your things, we're leaving here now!"
The two packed their belongings as quickly as possible. Lu Huai went first and Wen Nannan followed, descending from the highest container to the next level.
Lu Huai was extremely fast, and Wen Nannan almost couldn't keep up with his pace.
Suddenly, a large shadow appeared above, and Wen Nannan's heart skipped a beat, with an unfortunate premonition emerging in her mind. She burst out with her potential, caught up with Lu Huai, and pushed him down.
The topmost container brushed past their heads and fell, hitting heavily behind them.
The dented container below was soaked with blood, and some zombies stretched out their arms, trying to climb out of the gap that had been smashed open.
Lu Huai reacted and took a deep look at Wen Nannan, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Wen Nannan looked at the zombies and remembered something important, "Give me your hand."
Wen Nannan quickly wrapped tape around the cuffs of his sleeves and the loose trouser legs, and sprayed the perfume they had looted on both of them like it was free.
"Let's go!"
Wen Nannan led him forward, and braked immediately when they reached the edge.
Below were three layers of containers, more than seven meters high.
"Don't be afraid, jump down." Lu Huai whispered in her ear.
"It's too high." Wen Nannan shook her head, hesitating.
"Land on your right side and roll when you land." Lu Huai suddenly said this, then reached out and pushed her.
At that moment, Wen Nannan wanted to yell, but her body tried its best to cooperate with her thoughts and landed in the posture taught by Lu Huai.
In the face of danger, human potential is endless. Wen Nannan landed safely, it was so painful that she almost fell apart.
Lu Huai also jumped. As expected of a big shot, he didn't even frown.
Bang, bang, bang, following them down were also zombies.
Some had their heads smashed directly, while others had their severed limbs twisted and walked towards them crookedly.
Lu Huai shot and cleared the zombies in front of them, "This height is fine, try to stay on the container and follow me closely. Run!"
