Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 775 - 591: Predicament, Darkness and Light (Alliance Leader’s Additional Release 4/7)_2
Roar——
The two zombies that were hit let out a roar, and the surrounding zombies followed suit, roaring in unison.
The last glimmer of hope was extinguished, and Lu Kuan helplessly closed the window. They could only wait for death now.
At the moment of closing the window, he suddenly saw the building opposite theirs, only about twenty meters away.
A glass window.
Hmm?
A spark flashed through his mind.
A rope, the neighboring building?
He suddenly had a bold idea; since they couldn’t get down to the ground floor, they might be able to make their way to the building across from them.
Of course, they couldn’t fly over there.
But, they had this rope—if they could get the rope across, they could climb over.
The biggest problem was how to throw the rope over.
He pondered, walked over to Ai Shan, and picked up the rope.
This rope, taken from an outdoor adventure store, was not heavy, and after use, it could bear the weight of two people.
The biggest problem was how to throw it across and secure it tightly.
Then he shared the idea with everyone.
The rugged-looking man spoke up directly: "Let me try, twenty meters, it shouldn’t be hard to throw across."
The person next to him said, "Throwing it over isn’t hard, the hard part is to hang it up there; besides, don’t you think staying here is the best option?
Even if it’s thrown over and secured, who goes first? With such a height, and it’s snowing outside, what if someone falls? What if, while climbing to the other side, the secured end comes loose and gives way?
Moreover, even if we make it across, who can assure us that we’ll find food there?
If you ask me, we shouldn’t bother trying and just wait here. If the zombies leave later on, won’t we be fine?"
Hearing him say this, the only girl on the team fearfully glanced outside and said, "I also think so; since we can’t leave, let’s not keep thinking about leaving. It’s pretty good here."
Lu Kuan frowned; they were out of ammo and food.
As for water, it wasn’t a particularly big problem, they could scrape some snow from the window, melt it and drink; at most it would contain some acid rainwater, potentially harmful to the body, but it wouldn’t let them die of thirst.
If they really stayed here, they didn’t know what the ultimate outcome would be.
Before, they heard other survivors say that some teams became so hungry in the end that they resorted to cannibalism.
Could it be that in the end, they would have to...
Thinking of this scene, Lu Kuan quickly suppressed the malevolent thoughts in his mind.
No, absolutely not, once they did that, how would they be different from beasts.
Lu Kuan shone the flashlight on everyone’s face and said earnestly, "Let’s give it a shot. Old Huang, try throwing it, see if you can hook it."
Then he searched around the room and found an object of suitable size and weight to tie to the end of the rope.
Old Huang took the rope, weighed it in his hand, and walked towards the window.
At this moment, Lu Kuan spoke to those who had wanted to stay: "This time, the choice is in your hands—to come with us or to stay, it’s up to you."
After that, without paying further attention to those two, he also moved to the window, with Ai Shan quickly following him.
They opened the window and shone the flashlight on the building across.
The building opposite was silent, seemingly without zombies.
Lu Kuan shone his flashlight across, and the reflection of light off the glass was somewhat blinding.
"Here I go," Old Huang paused, saying to the others.
"Okay, aim for the middle, that window is open, try to hook it onto the window frame, it would be more secure that way," Lu Kuan suggested.
Old Huang was very strong.
He took a couple of steps back, lifted the object wrapped with the rope, and hurled it across.
Whoosh whoosh——
The rope on the ground followed, flying out, with the other end tied to the load-bearing pillar in the room.
Clang——
It missed the open window, instead, after falling, it hit the glass below, fell into the room across.
Old Huang tightened the rope; it seemed the object didn’t hook onto anything and was pulled straight out.
It fell directly downwards.
Seeing this, Old Huang quickly pulled on the rope to reel it back in.
But he was a few seconds too slow, and due to inertia, the rope swung against the glass of their own building.
The great force acted on the object. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Clang——
It shattered the glass beneath their own building.
The tremendous noise made the zombies below even more frantic.
The roars formed a continuous sound.
Lu Kuan hurriedly stepped forward to help reel in the rope.
Fortunately, the returning rope didn’t get caught on something below.
"Try again, aim better," Lu Kuan said.
After Old Huang pulled the rope back up, he didn’t immediately throw it again.
He calmed his mind and focused, staring at the window frame of the opposite building for several minutes.
After a good while, he slowly lifted the object tied to the rope.
Hey——
This time Old Huang used all his strength; the object flew straight towards the other side.
Lu Kuan watched the trajectory of the flying object.
Slightly downward, yes, that’s right.
Lu Kuan watched nervously as the object flew across.
