“Everyone, cheers! Let’s fight for tomorrow!”

Fred sat on the main seat and raised the wine glass in his hand high.

Everyone raised their wine glasses high, but Qin Yang did not take any action.

“I’m going to say something disheartening, but don’t take it to heart.”

Qin Yang did not move the wine glass in front of him. He directly picked up the fork and picked up the spaghetti on the plate.

“The operation requires a clear mind. Alcohol will numb your brain. I advise you not to drink it. It’s better to keep the wine for when you come back.”

As Qin Yang spoke, he picked up half of the noodles on the plate and placed it on the empty plate that was prepared to hold the chicken bones.

“Also, don’t eat too much. There will be intense exercise later. If you have too much food in your stomach, you won’t be able to run. If It’s serious, you might even have a stomachache.”

Qin Yang picked up the plate that contained half of the noodles and handed it to the survivors behind him.

“Give it to the children to eat,” Qin Yang said lightly.

“You, you!”

On the table, a person who looked like a white-collar worker had a relaxed look on his face. After hearing Qin Yang’s words, his face turned pale and he looked at Qin Yang angrily.

The atmosphere at the dining table was extremely stifling. Everyone’s heart was shrouded by the shadow of death.

A fatty’s tears fell on the table one drop at a time.

“Who cares about you? You’re about to die, yet you still don’t eat your fill before going on your journey. Aren’t you an idiot?!”

The fatty wiped his tears as he downed the red wine in his cup in one gulp. Then, he picked up his fork and began to eat the pasta in large mouthfuls.

“Little Brother Qin Yang is right. These methods are very effective in increasing our chances of survival!”

Fred did not care too much. Instead, he put down the wine glass in his hand.

Having experienced life and death several times, Fred knew that Qin Yang was not exaggerating. Instead, he was sincerely advising him. After all, compared to going hungry, bringing back supplies was obviously more important.

After Fred put down the wine glass, he used a fork to distribute some of the spaghetti on the plate to the children behind him.

The white-collar-looking man and the middle-aged man wearing overalls silently agreed with Qin Yang’s point of view. They put down the wine glass and distributed some of the spaghetti on the plate. Only the fatty was wolfing it down, seeing that the two of them were about to pass the spaghetti on their plates to the children, the fatty immediately snatched it away.

“If you guys don’t want it, I’ll eat it! !”

Fatty snatched their plates and took it

Qin Yang sat down and ate the pasta in large mouthfuls. The taste of the hot and delicious food came from his mouth, instantly causing Qin Yang to be a little absent-minded. How long had it been since he had eaten a delicacy that could only be made by turning on the fire?

Every day, there were instant food products such as instant noodles and biscuit cans, which made Qin Yang’s lips split open quite a few times. The sores in his mouth made him feel a wave of irritation.

He had his fill.

Qin Yang’s steel knife had completely curled up. On Fred’s side, Qin Yang was given a new long machete and a pair of electrician gloves that were not used for rope-lowering, although the gloves were not professional rope-lowering gloves. They were better than going down the ropes with bare hands. Although the shape of the machete was wide, thick, and was only suitable for hacking, it was better than nothing. Moreover, the machete was longer than the steel knife. The length of the machete gave an absolute advantage in close combat.

“Huff, are you all ready?!”

Frederick turned around and glanced at the other three people, asking in a low voice!

“I’m ready!”

Behind the three people, except for the plumber who was more energetic, the other two people’s faces were pale.

“What about you, Brother Qin Yang? Are you ready?”

Fred turned around and looked at Qin Yang who was standing by the window.

Qin Yang tied a climbing buckle on the railing of the corridor with a climbing rope. This rope was much stronger than the rope made of his own bedsheet. Qin Yang shook the railing and pulled the rope, after making sure that it was strong enough, he gave a thumbs-up to Fred.

“Okay!”

“Then, let’s go. Be more alert!”

Fred pressed the button for the elevator. The elevator door opened and the four of them entered the elevator. Qin Yang opened the ventilation window in the corridor and stood on the railing.

The survivors behind looked at the few of them who were preparing to leave with hope. Annie walked forward.

“You must come back alive, Brother Fred!”

“Yes!”

Fred nodded.

“Brother Qin Yang, you too!”

Annie looked at Qin Yang who was standing by the window with a serious expression.

“You don’t have to worry about it.”

Qin Yang waved his hand and continued, “When I’m in position, I’ll blow this whistle. When the time comes, press the button on the first floor immediately. Before that, don’t act rashly, understand?”

Qin Yang raised the whistle hanging on his chest.

“Got it!”

Fred nodded.

“I’m risking my life. I hope you can complete the task of closing the shutter door. Otherwise, my work will be in vain.”

Sighing, Qin Yang fastened a cable buckle on his waist. After confirming for the last time whether the rope was secure, Qin Yang jumped down from the window!

In an instant, everyone held their breath and came to the window, nervously looking around!

Qin Yang jumped down, and then his gloved hand pulled the cable to stop the descent!

‘Slow down, there’s no hurry!’

A kind of survivor nervously looked at Qin Yang’s action and shouted in his heart. However, no one dared to make a sound, in fear of attracting the attention of the zombies downstairs.

There were a few zombies scattered on the ground or leaning against the wall to rest. When they did not find a human being, their bodily functions would be greatly reduced, they would enter a state similar to ‘hibernation mode’. Once they found a human being, they would immediately go crazy and activate their bodily functions. It was completely different from their current lazy state!

Fred and the other three people nervously stood in the middle of the elevator. Frederic pressed the button to open the door, nervously waiting for the news of Qin Yang’s departure.

Everyone was very quiet. There was not a single sound in the corridor. There was only the friction of Qin Yang’s rope and the buzzing of the railing being tightly held by the rope.

“Don’t be nervous. If we carry out the plan smoothly, we won’t even be able to meet a single zombie.”

Fred patted the shoulders of the other three to ease their tension.

On the other side, the remaining survivors moved out a large sofa and waited in the corridor. There were a total of two elevators in the apartment building. When their plan succeeded, they would immediately bring the sofa and take the elevator down after receiving Fred’s signal! 

A tense battle, orderly progressing!
