Chapter 202 A Difficult Choice

Now, the giant zombies had already entered the compound. The walls, over two meters high, were as good as nonexistent to them. Some simply strode over, while others kicked the walls down, making the already bomb-ridden fortifications even more dilapidated, like the teeth of a hundred-year-old man.

Therefore, Duan Lei and the others were essentially surrounded. It was still manageable for now because Lin Qiang's survivors and soldiers were still on the wall, and the giant zombies' attention was focused entirely on them.

But eventually, the giant zombies would still flatten the entire manor. After mentally calculating his side's trump cards, as well as the strength of those giant zombies and the black-clad figures behind them, Duan Lei knew he was powerless to turn the tide.

Since that was the case, they had to evacuate, and as quickly as possible. However, their evacuation shouldn't be a problem. They could drive straight out. Although the firepower of the space battle vehicle couldn't wipe out all the giant zombies, it could blast open a path.

However, the internal space of the space battle vehicle was insufficient. Even if the warehouses were completely emptied, it could only accommodate three or four thousand people, and there were as many as ten thousand survivors in the manor.

Most importantly, Duan Lei didn't know how to say it, because it was obvious that those who could leave together had a greater chance of survival, while those who stayed behind were sure to die.

Now, the people in the manor could still hold on. Even after seeing the giant zombies, they still hadn't panicked too much because they also knew that they were surrounded and could only fight to the death. There was no way out!

If Duan Lei suddenly told them that he could take them away, but could only take about a third of them, the place would instantly descend into chaos.

If everyone couldn't leave, naturally no one would say anything and they could only continue to persevere, hoping that a miracle would eventually occur. But now that some people could leave and some couldn't, who would be willing to stay behind?

Duan Lei could imagine such a scene. As soon as he spread the news, the relatively stable defensive position would inevitably collapse instantly. Everyone would desperately try to get into the space battle vehicle, and no one would think about staying behind to wait for death.

Thinking of this, Duan Lei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. In fact, the most ideal scenario would be that after he spoke, the people in the manor wouldn't fight or snatch, but would divide themselves into those who would leave and then, those who remained would help them attract the giant zombies on the defensive positions.

Unfortunately, that would never be possible. Anything that involved human nature could not be resolved in a perfect way.

Therefore, Duan Lei now only had two choices. One was to tell the truth and let the place descend into chaos, and they would even have to kill some survivors who tried to force their way into the vehicle.

The other was to call Qing Luan in and have her cooperate with him. While everyone's attention was focused on the giant zombies, he could call over the children and women and then use the space battle vehicle's spatial characteristics to quietly transfer them in.

In this way, Duan Lei would be able to save as many people as possible, and he could also take Qing Luan and the people around her with him, without arousing suspicion. After all, Qing Luan was the leader of the manor, and it was normal for Duan Lei to discuss things with her.

Moreover, even if they were discovered, he could say that women and children were the weakest, so they had to be transferred to a safer place. At least there would be an explanation!

While Duan Lei was struggling, Lin Qiang's side was already suffering heavy casualties. The giant zombies were simply not something they could resist. Although the soldiers were frantically shooting at the giant zombies, their bullets could only cause damage to the giant zombies, but could not kill them at all.

Moreover, as long as the giant zombies ate a few people, or some pieces of flesh, the bullet holes on their bodies would slowly heal. And, it was clear that the current giant zombies were completely different from before.

The initial giant zombies clearly showed that their bodies were pieced together from corpses and pieces of flesh, and were full of gaps. But now, these giant zombies that had eaten many human corpses, or even eaten living people directly, had completely become a whole. Except for their huge size, they were no different from ordinary zombies!

Even on their huge heads, the heads that were originally used to replace eyes had now become real eyes, and they were as big as the heads of normal people!

Just from this change in appearance, it could be seen that these giant zombies were constantly repairing and strengthening themselves through devouring. In other words, the more people they killed, the stronger they would become, and Lin Qiang's people naturally became the nutrients for them to become stronger.

Seeing this, Duan Lei knew that he couldn't delay any longer. So, he immediately came to the outside of the space battle vehicle, intending to call Qing Luan out to tell her about the current situation and have her quickly organize manpower.

But just as he arrived on the roof of the vehicle, on the outermost periphery, in the direction of the city, a dark mass of people suddenly appeared. They were all running as fast as they could, rushing towards the outermost black-clad figures like a tide.

The black-clad figures were shocked and quickly turned around to shoot, and then discovered that these people were all zombies, numbering at least ten or twenty thousand.

Tens of thousands of zombies forming a zombie tide was not something that these people could resist. So, the black-clad figures immediately retreated to both sides, but the zombie tide didn't chase them either, and continued to advance forward, their target being those giant zombies.

Duan Lei quickly picked up his binoculars and immediately recognized that this was a zombie tide, and he also saw familiar figures in the zombie tide.

Li Yunshan, Hunter, Lone Wolf, Fierce Tiger, Mountain Demon, Hidden Whale...

That's right, this zombie tide was precisely the Grey Bear's captain, Li Yunshan and his team.

Li Yunshan and the others had long since become zombies, but, for special reasons, they still retained their human consciousness, and, at Li Chenzhou's persuasion, they had joined Li Chenzhou's team. Li Chenzhou had even arranged rooms for them in the space battle vehicle.

After Li Chenzhou and Grey Bear both disappeared, Duan Lei didn't want to drive Li Yunshan and the others away. But when Duan Lei and the others were sweeping through the city, Li Yunshan took the initiative to propose leaving.

According to Li Yunshan, Qi City was now full of zombies, and they were also in the form of zombies. So, Li Yunshan wanted to take his team into Qi City.

Li Yunshan was stubborn, and Duan Lei couldn't persuade him at all. And since Li Chenzhou and Grey Bear were not around, he had to let Li Yunshan and the others leave. After that, Duan Lei never saw Li Yunshan and the others again. He didn't expect that at this most critical moment, Li Yunshan would actually bring tens of thousands of zombies to rescue them...
