Chapter 91: Encircled by Heavy Siege.
"Lu Hongqi! Send your people to the back to check and figure out what's going on there!"
Lu Hongqi knew the importance of keeping the retreat open, so he immediately ordered to a younger brother: "Go over there and conduct a careful reconnaissance to see the number and size of the enemy. The most important thing is to confirm whether there is still a possibility of a breakout. !”
After receiving the order, Lu Hongqi's younger brother immediately got on his motorcycle and drove quickly to the rear.
Suri studied the map with all his concentration, trying to find a solution to the current predicament.
However, as the analysis progressed, his mood became heavier.
Currently they are left with only two options.
The first option is to use the surrounding buildings as cover, find a safe room to hide in, and wait for the situation to develop.
He has enough food on hand to last him a while.
This method may allow him to escape, but the risk is also huge.
There are many eaters and eating beasts in this area. Once discovered, they will be surrounded and completely trapped in a desperate situation.
When that time comes, except for himself who may be saved, everyone else will die.
The second option is to choose the side with relatively weak defense to force a breakout when surrounded on three sides.
He has enough thermal weapons in his hands, Li Qiang can use Molotov cocktails, and Lu Hongqi and others as assistance. Coupled with unlimited poison, infinite gasoline and magic crystal wire like plug-ins, it is not impossible to break through.
However, this choice also comes with huge risks.
They will directly face the threat of a large number of eaters and eating beasts. If they are not careful, they may die immediately, without any room for maneuver.
However, Suri still prefers the second option.
As the saying goes, high risks bring high returns.
Choosing to take the initiative also means that they can take their destiny into their own hands instead of passively waiting for the judgment of fate.
Of course, there is a better option.
If the road conditions are good, then the wisest choice is undoubtedly to exit the encirclement first.
This is also the result Suri expects most at the moment.
Returning to the hotel meant they could rework their plans in a safe environment before looking for the right moment to find a way across.
Therefore, everything now depends on whether Lu Hongqi's younger brother can bring back good news.
Not long after, the younger brother hurried back on his motorcycle.
His face was pale and his fear was palpable. It was obvious that something terrible had happened to him.
Even before the car stopped, he shouted in a panic: "Chief, Brother Lu, we are in big trouble! Everything is over! There is really no hope this time!"
Lu Hongqi frowned and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "How do I usually teach you? Just calm down!"
The younger brother tried his best to calm down, but still said with a trembling voice: "Lu...Brother Lu, our retreat is blocked! And we have to move forward quickly, otherwise they will catch up and we will die!"
"Let's talk about the key points! Quantity! Scale!"
The younger brother swallowed and said: "The streets are full of eaters. There are so many that I can't even count them. There may be thousands or even tens of thousands! I also saw intermediate eaters, more than one, almost ten. Left and right, they are driving the eaters this way."
Tens of thousands of eaters?
Ten more intermediate eaters?
When everyone heard this, they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"What's that gunshot about?" Lu Hongqi asked.
"There is a group of people, about 200 people. They all have thermal weapons. They should be rebels. They are fighting and running, but their speed is not as fast as the eaters. It seems that they can no longer hold on and are about to be killed. Surrounded."
Although he had investigated clearly enough, there was one strange thing that he failed to detect, that is, there was an intermediate eater among them, and the ones he was holding tightly in his arms were actually Principal Deng and his granddaughter, who were only half a body.
After listening to Lu Hongqi's description, everyone was filled with panic and despair.
Faced with such a huge scale of eaters, let alone ordinary people like them, even the military might not be able to resist it, right?
Wu Meng and Liu Feifei were trembling with fear. They had personally experienced the terrifying power of intermediate eaters and knew that they could not compete with them.
After listening to his younger brother's report, Lu Hongqi also realized the seriousness of the situation.
He patted his younger brother on the shoulder to express comfort, and then summoned all his men for pre-war mobilization.
"I know that we are now facing a life and death test, and I also understand the fear in your hearts. But I promised the leader that I would escort him to his destination safely, so I must stick to my oath. This is related to my status as a soldier. Faith! As for you, if you don’t want to stick to this promise, I won’t force you. After all, you are not soldiers, just ordinary people. Now, if any of you want to leave, I will never stop you.”
However, none of Lu Hongqi's younger brothers left, but all expressed their willingness to follow him to the death.
Lu Hongqi looked at them, filled with gratitude and relief.
Professor Liu on the side also cast an admiring look at Li Hongqi again.
At the same time, Suri's female companions all seemed a little panicked after learning the news that they were surrounded from three sides. Some of them, such as Yun Duo, Li Qiang's sister, Xiao Wu, and others, even sobbed softly.
Professor Liu carefully observed the reactions of the crowd, and then said to Su Rui in a relaxed tone: "Su Rui, everyone is waiting for you to give orders, what are your plans?"
Su Rui pondered for a moment and made a difficult decision.
He pointed to the map and said: "According to my observation, the road on the left was a densely populated residential area before the end of the world. Although we have seen thousands of eaters, there are probably more behind that we have not discovered, so this road seems easy to walk, but there are too many unknown risks. On the other side, although we have to pass the blockade of the eating beasts, the number is relatively small, and we should be able to deal with it. And there is a large park behind, so it is estimated that there will not be too many dangers. Therefore, I decided to choose the road on the right!"
After speaking, his finger pointed hard at the road on the right.
The reason why he was so confident was because he had his own plan.
He and Wu Meng have the ability to stop time, and with Li Qiang's Molotov cocktail, if they cooperate properly, it will be easier to break through a small number of eating beasts.
After listening, Professor Liu agreed.
However, Lu Hongqi raised doubts: "Leader, although there are not many feeding beasts over there, their individual strength is strong, especially the intermediate feeding beasts. I am afraid that we cannot easily deal with them. Even regular troops will suffer if they encounter them..."
Su Rui shook his head firmly: "Don't worry, the strength of a single individual is not terrible, but the number is terrible. I am not afraid of not being able to defeat them, but I am afraid of not being able to kill them all. So, I will not change my decision. Everyone, get ready immediately, and we will set off immediately!"
With Su Rui's decision, everyone began to prepare for the breakout in a tense and orderly manner. Su Rui also distributed some of his hot weapons to Li Hongqi and others.
The vehicle restarted, and a heavy pessimism filled the air.
Everyone knew that no matter which road they chose, they faced extremely high risks, and it could almost be said that they were in danger of death.
At this moment, everyone could only hope that Su Rui's choice was correct.
However, Professor Liu seemed unusually calm. He closed his eyes and rested, as if he was not affected by the tense atmosphere around him.
Because he still remembered the mysterious man who appeared in the other side of the soul after his death. If Su Rui was dead now, where did the mysterious man come from?
At the same time, behind Su Rui and his group, the group of rebels who had been resisting stubbornly had begun to collapse, and they fled in panic towards the T-junction where Su Rui had just been.
In the chaos, these people split into two groups because of panic. One group chose the road on the left, while the other group fled to the road on the right.
The eaters chasing them were also scattered, and some eaters were led to the direction where Su Rui was, forming a pincer attack from the front and back.
Coincidentally, Principal Deng, who had turned himself into an eater, was also among them!
