At the end, Zhang Su revealed a smile and pointed at the cars haphazardly parked on the street. This was his real plan.
The arrangements before were nerve-wracking, but this final strategy made everyoneâs eyes light up.
"Yeah, set up a formation to lure the zombies in, then seal both ends, perfect!"
Kuang Miao, prompted by Zhang Su, immediately came up with a solution.
Zhong Xiaoshan said, "No need to seal both ends, just place a sound source outside the human escape point, and zombies wonât turn around to leave from the exit."
Itâs hard to go from zero to one, but going from one to ten is relatively easier; everyone started chattering and fleshed out Zhang Suâs proposal.
"Alright, letâs proceed with the first step!"
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Su led the group out of the car wash.
Kuang Miao and the others quickly packed up the items on the ground, shouldered their bags, and followed Zhang Suâs group onto the street.
"Hey, Bozai, you take Pei Lan and push the car, get familiar with each other to avoid any lack of coordination later, got it?"
Zhang Su nodded slightly at the two.
This arrangement made everyoneâs eyebrows involuntarily lift. Why did it feel like it had some deeper meaning?
Especially Song Yijun, standing off to the side, pointed to his own nose in confusion as if to say, being in sync is great, but why not me?
Lu Yubo might lack brains, but as a male, he has an innate instinct about girls, understanding Zhang Suâs care. He quickly exchanged a glance with Zhang Su, then said earnestly.
"Pei Lan, just follow me later!"
"Un-understood..."
Pei Lan nodded hesitantly.
Although her face wasnât exceptionally beautiful, she exuded a youthful vibe that naturally attracted young males.
"Letâs get started. Remember, no matter what happens, donât scream. Anyone who suddenly shrieks, I wonât show any mercy!" With Zhang Suâs command, everyone got to work.
Vehicles on the road were easy to move as long as they werenât overturned and the wheels were intact, since they hadnât engaged the handbrake. However, some cars still had zombies inside!
Thud!
Lu Yubo nailed a zombie in the passenger seat, grinning at Pei Lan beside him. "Donât be afraid. These zombies are just live targets. Stick a steel pipe through their eye and you can kill them!"
"Un-understood, letâs move the car."
Pei Lan turned her head, holding back the urge to vomit, clearly not daring to look at such a gory scene.
"Lanlan, none of those three seem like your boyfriend, are you single?"
Lu Yubo spontaneously used a familiar nickname.
Pei Lanâs face darkened as she shook her head sadly. "I have a boyfriend, but he couldnât escape from school..."
Recalling their last meeting in the cafeteria several days ago, her eyes slightly reddened; multiple blows left her struggling to cope.
Lu Yubo was secretly delighted, thinking it saved him a lot of trouble. With utmost confidence, he said, "Donât be sad, follow me in the future. In this world, someone needs to take care of you!"
"N-no need, Iâm fine with Kuang Miao and the others."
Pei Lan bit her lip, weakly rejecting Lu Yubo.
Lu Yubo shamelessly acted as if he hadnât heard Pei Lan and continued to ask, "Lanlan, Iâm nineteen this year, how about you? I guess seventeen, right?"
Pei Lan hesitated for a moment before deciding to answer his question softly, "Same as you."
"As the saying goes, for a couple to match, their ages should be the same. Weâre a natural pair!"
Lu Yubo smiled brightly, not even noticing a figure appearing behind him.
Slap!
A palm smacked the back of Lu Yuboâs head, making him stagger, and the car veered.
"Who the hell... Brother Su, what are you doing?"
Lu Yubo turned around, raising his fist to hit, but seeing it was Zhang Su, he immediately pouted with a bitter face.
"I asked you to communicate and coordinate, and here you are trying to flirt! Donât you know thereâs something important to do later?"
Zhang Su sternly criticized Lu Yubo.
Indeed, he had the idea of setting Lu Yubo up with a girlfriend, deliberately pairing him with Pei Lan, but he didnât expect him to be so eager heâd start flirting while working!
"Wrong, wrong, wonât happen again!"
Lu Yubo rubbed the spot where he was slapped, sneaking a glance at Pei Lan, only to find she wasnât looking at him at all, which left him feeling dejected.
Zhang Su stepped closer and whispered in Lu Yuboâs ear, "The world now is different from before, smooth talk gets you nowhere. You need real skills, understand? Also, get some pride; donât be a damn lapdog!"
Lu Yubo was jolted by Zhang Suâs words as if they were a wake-up call, his eyes clear as he nodded.
"Got it, Brother Su, donât worry!"
"Alright! Let Pei Lan also get some practice, make the most of your time!"
With that, Zhang Su looked around and headed toward the shared bikes on the sidewalk.
After about half an hour of bustling around, they finally set up a pocket formation. The students were exhausted, their faces turning pale and eyes dark from fatigue, mainly due to hunger.
"You all know how to ride a bike, right? These three shared bikes are your trusty steeds. In case of any emergency, head to the Phoenix International District over there for refuge, alright?"
Zhang Su pointed at the neighborhood gate not far away.
Everyone turned to look, then nodded in unison.
"Alright, no dawdling. Lu Yubo, Pei Lan, Song Yijun, you three head to the west side of the gas station via the secondary road. Once youâre in position, you can move; donât worry about us. Weâll fully support your progress!"
