Chapter 928 - 403: Fire Street_2
Lin Wu assassinated 18 zombies in ten minutes, yet the team barely advanced 100 meters. This was a 700-meter-long street and an inevitable path for the team. The four-lane road was like a chaotic junkyard, congested with various trucks and cars. The reason was a refrigerated truck lying across the end of the street—the force of the flood had failed to clear this barrier, resulting in a massive pile-up of vehicles. Consequently, human visibility was severely reduced, making it difficult to quickly spot potential dangers.
Lin Wu leaned against the warehouse and glanced inside, then signaled to the others: It’s unbeatable, forget about it.
Maya signaled for the team to move from the right to the left, but it was still no good—there were just as many zombies near the left warehouse.
Lin Wu pointed above: We can only go over the warehouse. The warehouse roof was triangular, designed to shield from the wind and rain, not to support people walking on it.
Xiao Rou vetoed Lin Wu’s suggestion. He told Lin Wu that the standard loading capacity for industrial plant roofs was 30-50 kilograms per square meter; even though a person’s two feet wouldn’t cover one square meter, every member of the team weighed over 50 kilograms. More troubling were the five large suitcases the team carried.
Previously if the land route wasn’t viable, they went by air; if that too was inaccessible, they would go through the sewers. But now, due to the flood, even the sewers were impassable. Even if the sewers were dry, they would be filled with a large amount of garbage. Let alone the sewers in the industrial area, which might contain untreated sewage likely to cause human poisoning.
Taking a detour would mean an extra two kilometers, and the road conditions wouldn’t be any better.
Lin Wu asked, "Shall we make a big move?"
