Chapter 198 - 135 Waste City (IX)_2
Lin Wu grabbed the rope with both hands, took a deep breath, and jumped down, "Long live humanity."
He landed precisely three meters in front of the green device. Instantly, the green device began to shake, and countless zombies rushed out from the nearby buildings, heading in an unending stream toward the green device.
After waiting a few seconds, Lin Wu grabbed the rope and climbed back up, making the first zombies to arrive lunge at empty air. Some zombies kept howling, while others began to stack up like a "human" ladder under Lin Wu’s feet, attempting to build a ladder of corpses. It was Lin Wu’s first time seeing such a scene, and he was truly alarmed by the zombies howling beneath his feet.
No, he could die, but not like this. After all, it had been studied by humanity that being torn apart by wild beasts was the second most feared way to die, with being buried alive only third.
With that thought, Lin Wu immediately grabbed the rope, kicked his legs, and climbed upwards. He reached the top of the wire, abandoned the long hemp rope, and switched to a short piece of nylon rope, "Report, I have fallen."
"That’s enough."
It had to be enough, Lin Wu wasn’t a soldier. He had intended to die alone rather than all together, thinking it might leave a good impression on his ex-girlfriend and spare himself the embarrassment of meeting her again. But the howling zombies made Lin Wu lose his nerve. After all, as the old saying goes, it takes more courage to live than to die.
Lin Wu continued to slide down. Without scouting this section of the route and with many wires too close to the rooftops, Lin Wu had to avoid zombies by kicking his legs and adopting a figure-eight stance. But if you dodge the first, you might not escape the fifteenth; an extremely vicious zombie on a rooftop grabbed Lin Wu’s calf and took a bite out of it.
Lin Wu screamed in pain, kicking with his right leg. It was unclear if he couldn’t muster the strength, or if the zombie was too tenacious, but not only did he fail to shake it off, he was bitten again. Lin Wu steeled his heart and, without slowing down, slid down the wire with the zombie, both of them crashing hard against a utility pole. The zombie was dislodged, flying several 360-degree turns in the air before slapping against a wall.
