Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 237: Desperate Life-and-Death Situation (6)


The chilling words resounded through the streets and alleys. If words possessed power, then the simple heartfelt speech from Wang Qiang undoubtedly shocked every survivor present.

Yes, every time the team was trapped in dire situations, the figure storming ahead, fearless of life or death, was none other than the man before them.

Upon reflection, nearly every team member present had received Hu Xiaodong's help at some life-or-death moment, so for everyone, their feelings and gratitude toward Hu Xiaodong couldn't easily be expressed in mere words.

And at this moment, that sentiment translates to a promise of life and death together!!

"Brother Hu! Remember this! My life was saved by you, so if these bastards want your life today, they'll have to step over my dead body first!!"

Wang Qiang's words clearly reflected the thoughts of everyone present!!

Without any orders, all the survivors seemed connected by an unspoken bond, gathering around Hu Xiaodong. With fiery expressions and sharp gazes, their resolute faces formed a vortex capable of devouring everything. Whoever or whatever dared approach Hu Xiaodong with harmful intent would surely face an immeasurable onslaught.

"Come! Brother Hu! If you can't walk, brothers will carry you!" Bending over, Wang Qiang pointed to his own back, signaling for Hu Xiaodong to climb up!

Simultaneously, Wu Chao beside him helped lift him up, patting his chest and responding, "Yes! Brother Hu! Don't worry! If Wang Qiang gets tired, I, Wu Chao, will take over!"

"Exactly! Don't forget me, Wenquan Xin! Which bastard today dares touch Brother Hu, I'll be the first to take them down!"

The sincere words from his brothers moved Hu Xiaodong nearly to tears. But he knew very well that dragging or carrying him would inevitably slow down the team.

And that's something Hu Xiaodong least wanted to see, so...

He forced a difficult smile at everyone, but unlike before, this smile showed distinct gratitude and emotion.

"Thank you, brothers, I appreciate your intentions, but..."

Mid-sentence, before Hu Xiaodong could react, he felt a sudden tightness below, and was swiftly lifted onto Wang Qiang's back by Wu Chao.

"Put, put me down! Wang Qiang!" Hu Xiaodong shook his body weakly twice, trying to break free from Wang Qiang's grip, but due to excessive blood loss, he was too drained to resist.

Wang Qiang, with a serious expression, didn't utter a word. Instead, he swiftly tightened his grip on Hu Xiaodong's calf and charged fiercely forward.

Wang Qiang's movement spurred those guarding around him to immediately follow suit, ensuring Hu Xiaodong's safety.

Since Hu Xiaodong was being carried this time, the survivors transitioned from walking to running, boosting their forward speed significantly.

However, the rapid pace was a severe test of Wang Qiang's stamina, as carrying Hu Xiaodong demanded considerable exertion.

No matter how weak or dejected Hu Xiaodong was, his towering physique of over 1.7 meters was evident.

To carry such a large "burden" amidst urgent danger, maintaining a relatively steady pace and advancing smoothly over dozens of meters was a challenge that couldn't solely rely on willpower and determination.

However, don't forget, this survivor team is far from ordinary. They've been tested by "life and death" and "blood and fire." They've emerged alive from the brink of despair, after fighting persistently.

Their survival today, besides their inherent toughness and unwillingness to yield, is due to the crucial fact that they are brothers, willing to entrust their lives to one another!

Once Wang Qiang grew tired, Wu Chao took over immediately. When Wu Chao couldn't continue, Wenquan Xin stepped in, repeating this cycle...

In short, within such a team, the word "give up" doesn't exist and won't be allowed.

Either live together or die together!! Share blessings and endure hardships!! It's that simple, and this is the team's most genuine recognition after being tested by "blood and fire."

Under such "life and death together" guidance, the survivor team's speed reached unprecedented rapidity, almost instantly surging toward the entrance of the City Management Bureau, 50 meters ahead!!

Yet, looking at their current successful breakthrough, none of the survivors showed a relaxed expression, because at this very moment, behind them was a boundless army of zombies, silently approaching.

"Go! Go! Go! Everyone quickly enter the building!!" Lin Junfu, with hands still bound behind him, couldn't point or command, but that didn't stop him from urging them vocally.

After all, the pressure from behind was overwhelming; a second's delay could mean life or death.

Tang Xiaoquan solemnly eyed the City Management Bureau door ahead; the darkened interior seemed like the entrance to Hell.

Frankly, if not for the circumstances forcing him, he would never have led the team to such an unknown environment.

But considering the current situation, no matter how bad the conditions might be inside the bureau, it certainly couldn't be worse than outside.

So with that resolved, Tang Xiaoquan had no choice. He composed himself slightly before charging with the group into the unknown interior of the City Management Bureau.

Once inside, Hu Xiaodong immediately requested Wenquan Xin to set him down.

The latter had no objection, as they were already indoors, and continuing to carry him was of no real benefit; moreover, prolonged pressure might further aggravate his leg injury.

Meanwhile, Wu Chao hurriedly pushed and closed the large sliding iron door outside, but unexpectedly, upon closing the doors on either side, he discovered they were secured by chains, yet he held no key.

A cold sweat instinctively rolled down his cheek, as Wu Chao stared vacantly at the iron door before him. He was stunned; without a doubt, this uncloseable door couldn't defend against the imminent zombie army.

He instinctively wanted to ask his companions for help, but before Wu Chao could turn around, a black shadow charged swiftly, crashing violently into the iron door, which promptly emitted a trembling "screech"!!
