There must have been a tactician within that group of riders which planned out this strategy for attacking the prison camp. It was an ingenious method, and Zhang ShengLi had fallen into the trap.

Zhang Hua came to the top of the high wall carrying several long spears that he had made in his free time during the past few days, however after he tried a few times, he gave up attacking the ATV riders… Because his ability was basically incapable of locking onto those kinds of high speed moving targets.

After the ATV riders led the corpse tide to the vicinity of the prison, they immediately sped away and the corpse tide stayed close to the prison’s large iron gate as they lost sight of their target. They only aimlessly wandered around the surroundings and didn’t have interest in approaching the prison’s high walls.

The current situation for Zhang ShengLi and the group of team members in the prison was rather awkward, they had just lighted a fire to cook and now they had all stopped under Zhang ShengLi’s command. They stayed in the prison and didn’t dare to randomly move or to make any noise.

This was because if they were to make any noise, there was a high chance that it would attract the surge of corpse tide’s attention. Based on these zombie’s persistent habit, they would certainly promptly draw close towards the prison and attempt to enter it after hearing sound. They would even climb upon each other to form a type of zombie ladder outside of the high wall of the prison in order to reach their target.

The 2000 zombies’ attacking capabilities could not be underestimated and to build a zombie ladder for an eight meter high wall would not be a difficult matter at all. There were also many wounded people currently within the prison. This kind of situation was a huge problem regardless of whether the decision was to defend or to evacuate.

Just when Zhang ShengLi was on high alert while watching the corpse tide in the vicinity, he was rapidly thinking about how to respond to the scheme, keeping in mind that the direction of where the prison’s rear wall was located had not been occupied by the corpse tide. Suddenly several ignited firecrackers had been thrown in by someone.

The firecrackers’ loud sounds immediately attracted the interest of all the neighboring zombies. The zombies were originally attracted to the ATVs, but when that was out of sight, it would wander around the vicinity of the prison. With the onset of the noisy firecrackers, those zombies all crazily dashed towards the direction of the prison’s high wall.

Even though Zhang ShengLi had promptly arranged for the people to go and extinguish the firecrackers, the 2000 zombies had already crowded around the prison from the vicinity of the large iron gate due to the sound of the firecrackers. When they reached the sides of the high walls, they could very quickly smell the scent of fresh corpses blown over from within the high walls. The smell of the dead evildoers lingered, even after the corpses were removed. This caused them to become even more crazed and climb up the high walls to enter into the prison.

Fortunately the prison walls were high enough. The 2000 zombies was still too insufficient to form a zombie ladder. They would stack high up along the wall, but quickly collapse at the base, then they surrounded the high walls and rapidly scattered apart. Once they had scattered out, their threat was not too large. Yet because the scent of fresh meat within the prison was overwhelming, they would come over and gathered around, encircling the sides of the high walls and shouted, unwilling to leave again.
