736 Wait For The Baits (1/2)

”What's the matter? Is anything wrong?” A clear and soft voice was heard from behind them.

Li Honglin and Chen Hao turned back together and saw a good-looking man who had shoulder-length hair and a pale face.

”Lu Tong, it's windy up here. You should stay downstairs. Your body can't stand the wind.” Seeing the young man, both Li Honglin and Chen Hao wore a much gentler look in their eyes. Their tone of speaking showed concern as well.

Lu Tong smilingly shook his head. He looked weak, but his smile was toned with stubbornness that could easily make people feel sorry for him or want to protect him.

”I'm fine! This kind of wind can't hurt me,” he said.

Looking at Li Honglin's pretty, smiling eyes, Li Honglin and Chen Hao glanced at each other, then gave up on persuading him.

”There're many zombies in the front. They have blocked our way. We can't get through, so we're planning to take a detour,” Li Honglin turned and pointed at the front.

”That many? But, we'll have to go a much longer way to take that detour, right? We don't even know if there is a detour or not,” Lu Tong didn't know what was happening in the front, but wasn't willing to take a detour, because that might be ten or even twenty miles of extra distance.

”But those zombies… Merely the ones I saw through the telescope are more than ten-thousand. We can't tell exactly how many zombies there are. If we fall into a zombie city or stir up a massive zombie attack, we'll all be dead,” said Li Honglin to Lu Tong with patience.

”If we knew there would be so many zombies, we'd wait for those people. They could be useful now, couldn't they?” said Chen Hao with regret.

Lu Tong glanced at him with hesitation, then turned to Li Honglin as he reached out a hand and said, ”Let me see.”

Li Honglin didn't say anything but handed him the telescope.

Lu Tong made two steps forward to his side, then looked through the telescope. As same as Li Honglin and Chen Hao, he saw the huge crowd of zombies as well.

With surprise, he turned the telescope from left to right a few times.

”How can there be so many zombies? It's unreasonable! This place is the border between West Lake District and Upper City District. This area shouldn't be so crowded. It's impossible for so many zombies to gather here,” Lu Tong wore a serious look as he scanned across the area for a couple of times with confusion. Soon, he confirmed that there was no problem with his eyes, and that he did see a huge number of zombies crowding on the streets and roads.

”There must be quite some high-leveled zombies among such a huge group. Not to mention dealing with this giant zombie crowd, one level four or five zombie could kill us all. So, I think we should take a detour,” Li Honglin gave his opinion.

This time, Lu Tong didn't object, but thought silently. He really didn't want the journey to become longer. He was sick of the scary environment. All he wanted was to join the new base as quickly as possible. Only the fence wall of the new base could make him relax.
