Chapter 1583: 1582 Escape
Tan Rou attacked from the left, and Zhuang Liu attacked from the right. The man in blackâs right hand was injured, already somewhat weak, and after being hit several more times, it was completely useless.
Seizing the opportunity, Tan Rou chopped at the man in blackâs arm with one hand. The man screamed miserably, almost revealing his real voice.
Both of the manâs hands were injured. He tremblingly pulled out a stick from behind his back. Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu thought it was a weapon, but to their surprise, the man put the stick to his lips.
âItâs a flute!â declared Tan Rou immediately, âWe canât let him play the flute!â
The sound of the flute would surely attract that group of zombies; they were not afraid of the zombies themselves, but since those zombies were still living people, they couldnât kill them. However, if they didnât kill them, they wouldnât be able to escape.
Zhuang Liu flung the pistol he had on him, and although it had no bullets left, the gun was still heavy. The manâs hands were already unsteady, and when hit by the pistol, his grip loosened.
After the flute fell to the ground, the man subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but Tan Rou didnât give him the chance and kicked the flute away. The metal flute clanged loudly in the darkness, rolling off to who knows where.
âBastard!â the man in black croaked hoarsely. Now deprived of any help, he had to escape quickly or he would die here.
Seeing his resistance was all but gone, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu relaxed considerably, and they even started chatting leisurely.
âI bet fifty cents that beneath the mask is an ugly face,â Tan Rou said with a laugh.
Zhuang Liu responded, âThen Iâll bet fifty cents that heâll definitely be caught by us soon.â
âHis legs are quite formidable, so we should break his legs first to prevent him from escaping,â said Tan Rou as she looked around for a stick or some other weapon.
In the darkness, the manâs flute reflected some light at a corner, and Tan Rou spotted it. Just as she was about to pick it up, a sudden noise rose nearby.
âHurry, there are voices ahead, there must be people!â a man shouted.
Following that was a series of footsteps; the people approaching must be wearing boots because the sound was very loud.
âNot good,â Tan Rou said, âItâs the Patrol Captain!â
They heard the noise, and naturally, so did the man in black. He deliberately made loud shouts, âHelp, there are robbers here trying to kill people!â
Zhuang Liu cursed, âAre you crazy? What good does bringing the Patrol Captain do for you?â
They soon learned the benefit of having called the Patrol Captain.
âQuick, catch them!â the Patrol Captain shouted, âOrders from above, we canât let these people get away again. If you donât catch them, youâre all going to jail!â
No one wanted to go to jail, so the patrolmen rushed forward desperately and soon reached Tan Rou and the others. Smartly, they separated the three individuals into three circles.
To leave, Tan Rou and her group would have to break out of these circles, which meant they had to fight the patrolmen.
âNo choice,â Tan Rou couldnât just stand here and be captured, âFight!â
Zhuang Liu wasnât foolish either. He knew they couldnât afford to be caught, so he grabbed the wrist of the nearest patrolman and took a gun from his hands in just a few moves. Although he didnât shoot at the patrolman, he shot out the streetlight above.
With the streetlight gone, the area was plunged into total darkness. Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu tacitly kept quiet, not calling out to each other. All they needed was to escape by themselves; they could rendezvous later after getting away.
As for the man in black, he was lucky tonight. If they found him again, they would shoot him.
Even injured, the man in black wasnât someone the patrolmen could handle. With each kick, he opened up a gap in the dark and ran swiftly, diving into an alley and disappearing without a trace.
The patrol couldnât track like Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, so they had to let these people go.
âDamn it, they got away again!â the captain of the patrol team couldnât help cursing.
Just then, his radio crackled to life, âSquad Seven, come in if you hear me!â
