Chapter 41 - 40: Defending the City
As time ticked away second by second and they watched the countdown, everyone except for Maya seemed quite tense. The church’s main entrance was fortified with a safe and benches as the first line of defense. At the back door, they built barricades with some of the church’s own furniture.
Although it had no medical effect, Su Shi still squeezed onto the sickbed with Lin Wu, covering their heads with the bedsheet and leaning back against the headboard.
Lin Wu leaned against the headboard, holding a small pistol and watching the doorway of the infirmary. He asked, "Su Shi, talk about it."
"Talk about what?"
"Dizzy Zombies."
Su Shi couldn’t explain it clearly either. He never watched any zombie-themed movies or read novels, nor did he play zombie-themed games. As long as he knew the other party was a zombie, Su Shi would feel nauseous for no apparent reason. It was like getting carsick, which people think is due to motion nerves getting disturbed while riding in a car. However, many who get carsick don’t actually feel ill in the car; they feel sick just at the car station, or at the smell of gasoline, or even knowing they will ride a car soon.
"Then just stay put, and don’t talk, especially don’t scream."
"I’ll try."
As the two chatted idly, the countdown finally ended, and the siege timing began.
