 27: Chapter 19 – Zombie Baiting (Part 2)
 So, using the Furious Queen’s ability to summon the female musketeer to attract zombies was also a good method.
 They could be kept from approaching the wall and only be allowed to wander around within a radius of three to four tens of meters.
 This distance was just within the range of the lasso trap.
 Even if there was a problem, he could escape in time.
 But, what about the physical exhaustion after summoning Sophie?
 Would he have to rest for another hour before he can act?
 And the most critical issue, what if Sophie attracts too many zombies?
 “Actually, using a remote-controlled vehicle might be a good idea too.” Tang Zheng remembered the Hummer H3 in the underground parking garage.
 When he had looked inside, there seemed to be a big remote control car in the back seat, besides the child zombie and its father.
 This remote control car would be no problem pulling the lasso rope forward for a hundred meters…
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Squatting on the box, Tang Zheng weighed the pros and cons of his options.
 In the end, he decided on the second method.
 Thus, the moment the cooldown time for the Furious Queen’s ability ended, he summoned Sophie.
 “Go attract those dozens of zombies on the west to the side of the street.
 Remember, try to stay as quiet as possible.
 It’s better to attract fewer than to bring back a horde of zombies.
 Don’t shoot, just dodge, understand?
 Here, use this.” Tang Zheng handed Sophie the Ontario 18 Chop.
 He didn’t know if she could understand him, but if she couldn’t, he would have to resort to the third plan.
 The musketeer didn’t take the Ontario 18 Chop.
 She didn’t say anything, but she did nod, which put Tang Zheng at ease.
 He was not worried about Sophie’s safety.
 Even if she were killed by zombies, he could still summon her after the cooldown time of the ability ended.
 However, he didn’t want to sacrifice his ‘hero’ to summon her for a third time either.
 With only five minutes to act, Tang Zheng didn’t want to waste any more time.
 He gestured forward with his right hand, and Sophie immediately jumped down the wall and quickly rushed towards a palm tree next to the street.
 Los Angeles city streets were lined with these trees, a kind of signature landscape of the city.
 It was convenient for Sophie to hide.
 Her movements were agile and swift.
 When she started running at full speed, she could only be seen as a flash, leaving only a blur in the field of view.
 It was quite difficult for the slow-reacting zombies to turn their stiff heads to follow her movements.
 “The plan seems to be working,” Tang Zheng surveilled the surrounding area, looking for traces of special infected.
 He had already noticed several tank zombies.
 They were too large to hide, but luckily, they hadn’t noticed Sophie yet.
 The police had cordoned off the street, clearing all obstacles from Long Street.
 Apart from a dozen police cars across the street, Sophie could find no other large objects to hide behind.
 After observing for a few seconds and seeing no other options, she drew the rapier from her waist.
 Suddenly, she darted out from behind the palm tree and hurled her rapier.
 At a distance of forty meters, the rapier flew like a javelin through the air, piercing the head of a police zombie, pinning it and its body against the door of a car a meter behind it.
 Humming, the tail of the rapier vibrated violently, causing a loud noise.
 The distant zombies immediately turned their attention towards the noise but lost interest when they only saw a zombie that had been skewered.
 However, the nearby zombies looked towards the direction from where the rapier had been thrown.
 Sophie timely revealed half her body from behind the palm tree, and like a pot being stirred, the zombies started towards her at a slow jog.
 “The plan is very successful.” Tang Zheng excitedly pumped his fist, admiring Sophie’s strong throwing arm.
 The rapier throw was spectacular, and quite cool to watch.
 However, his joy was somewhat premature, the common zombies in the distance didn’t understand the sudden movement of their kind and continued to wander aimlessly.
 However, two hunter zombies quickly ran towards this side, and even a tank zombie seemed to be moving this way.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> “Damn it, what now?” Tang Zheng was still thinking about what to do when Sophie had already come up with a solution.
 She still didn’t want to expose her whereabouts.
 When the hunter zombie pounced towards her, she didn’t shoot.
 Instead, she turned the Silver Muskets around and fiercely hit the hunter zombie on the head with the butt of the rifle.
 The hunter zombie’s skull didn’t crack, but half of its cheek collapsed.
 It was pretty clear that it wouldn’t survive.
 The other hunter zombie seized the opportunity to pounce on her, but Sophie showed her agility.
 She performed a cartwheel to avoid the attack, then as before, hit it with the butt of the rifle.
 After resolving the two hunter zombies, Sophie began to move over a wider range, trying to disperse the seventy or eighty zombies she’d attracted.
 Considering the nearly fifty-meter distance and her high speed, she wasn’t worried about being noticed by the common zombies.
 As for the special infected, they did seem to be moving towards her.
 But as soon as the five minutes of ability time ended, Sophie instantly disappeared.
 Without a target, the special infected no longer moved towards this side.
 “That was really close.” Tang Zheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
 He really didn’t want to repeat this way of baiting zombies if he didn’t have to.
 It was way too dangerous.
 Feeling the fatigue surfacing in his body, Tang Zheng gritted his teeth, deciding to make it a quick battle.
 Who knew what unexpected events might occur if he continued waiting?
 Especially since this action had drawn a few special infected to the opposite street, who knows when they would spot Tang Zheng and launch a surprise attack.
 “Step…step, why don’t you step into it?” Once again throwing out his lasso, Tang Zheng quietly waited for the zombies to get caught.
 Approximatly five minutes passed before a zombie finally walked into the lasso.
 Tang Zheng looked and nearly cried out.
 It was a female reporter of all things, what use could she be?
 But the zombie’s foot had been caught by the lasso and he couldn’t pull it out.
 Tang Zheng had no choice but to use her for practice.
 He lightly pulled on the rope, applying a subtle force that the zombie wouldn’t notice.
 Due to the slight tug on its foot, the female reporter zombie changed its direction and wobbled towards the wall.
 Whenever she tried to change course, Tang Zheng used the rope lasso to correct her, guiding her towards the predetermined direction.
 When the female reporter zombie got around eleven or twelve meters from the hospital wall, she apparently caught a whiff of a human’s scent.
 Without needing Tang Zheng to pull on the rope, she directly started jogging over in his direction.
 Tang Zheng knew that he had been discovered, and it was pointless to hide.
 He merely revealed half of his body over the wall, gripping tightly onto his homemade spear.
 As soon as the female reporter zombie ran over, he swiftly jabbed at her head.
 The extreme force survival straight knife, with a Rockwell hardness of around 58, was extraordinarily sharp and sturdy.
 It quickly penetrated the zombie’s left eye socket and went straight into her head, cracking open the skull without any difficulty.
 Tang Zheng then stirred it around forcefully, ending her life.
 Thud, the female reporter zombie first slammed into the wall, then toppled onto the ground, blood slowly seeping out to form a small pool of blood.
 “Completely worthless.” Tang Zheng glanced at the dead reporter’s ample chest and legs draped in black stockings, all the while losing interest.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Once again throwing out the rope lasso, Tang Zheng started fishing for the second zombie.
 In less than three minutes, a police zombie carrying an MP5 submachine gun was caught.
 Using the same method to deal with it, Tang Zheng hid behind the wall of the hospital, pulling it up with the rope and throwing it into the backyard.
 Then he jumped down the box staircase and, struggling to hold back his nausea, began to search the police zombie’s body.
 It was a stout black police officer, clad in a Kevlar bulletproof vest and a Blackhawk tactical vest.
 The three ammo clips on the vest were bulging.
 An MP5 submachine gun hung on his body secured by a three-point sling.
 In the leg holster on his right leg, there was a M1911A1 handgun and two ammo clips.
 “Hehe, it’s a big harvest.
 If only there were a few hand grenades too.” Tang Zheng stripped the black police officer of all useful equipment.
 In his pocket, he found a wallet — after flipping it open, he saw six hundred US dollars, three credit cards, and two condoms.
 Tang Zheng took the US dollars and then put the wallet back into its pocket.</div>
