When Shi Ruoyu was stunned, Ren Guobin reacted quickly. He let out a strange cry: "We've encountered the main force of the Nationalist Army! Comrades, hold your ground, hold your ground!"
Then there was a bang, as he had closed the door to Shen Wenting's ward! Indeed, underground party members knew how to adapt. It was a good thing that Shi Ruoyu had been worried about him shouting, "Remember to pay the party fees!" before rushing to fight the zombies...
As mentioned earlier, Shen Wenting's room was specially designed, the only one in the hospital with an iron door, which gave them a precious moment to catch their breath!
Just as Ren Guobin closed the door, it was less than a minute before they heard a violent pounding on the door! It was clear that the zombies outside were madly ramming the iron door!
Fortunately, the dean had spent a 'huge amount' on this iron door, and its quality was top-notch. Rumor had it that it was made of special steel, so it was initially called a 'steel door'!
Later, during a work report, the old dean loudly said, "That steel door symbolizes the indomitable spirit of our hospital..." Then... the old man didn't speak for three days, and the person who wrote the report was demoted to a nurse. After that, everyone called it an iron door.
Getting back to the point, although the iron door held off the first wave of zombies, being trapped in this ten-square-meter room was not a solution. Ren Guobin gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Zecheng, I'll go out and draw the main force of the Nationalist Army. You take the other two and run! Protect the radio well! Timely relay our message to Yan'an!"
Shi Ruoyu's mouth opened wide, and he wanted to say something. Ren Guobin patted his shoulder and said, "Just pay the party fees for me!" Then he was about to rush out and open the door, but fortunately, Shi Ruoyu reacted quickly. He extended his hands, and a few threads wrapped around Ren Guobin's ankles, causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on his face!
Shi Ruoyu scolded, "Don't recklessly show off your fearless spirit, okay? This iron door can hold for a while. Let's think of a plan. As the saying goes, three cobblers can match Zhuge Liang. We are four people, can't we come up with a plan?!"
Ren Guobin looked at Ye Xiaobu, who was talking to Ah Chou, and Shen Wenting, who was still sound asleep in the corner. A few drops of sweat appeared on Shi Ruoyu's forehead. He coughed slightly and pointed to the window, "Let's try to escape through the window! I have a power, I can use the threads to climb down the wall, just like that American Spider-Man."
Ren Guobin was quite enthusiastic and immediately ran over, but soon said, "The outside is sealed with iron bars, we can't get out!"
The room's window was tightly closed and not made of transparent glass, causing Shi Ruoyu to momentarily forget. Since Shen Wenting had severe depression and a strong suicidal tendency, her room's window had to be strictly protected, or she would have jumped long ago...
A wave of despair instantly flooded Shi Ruoyu's mind, but after a while, Ren Guobin added, "But I have a way to dismantle this thing..."
Shi Ruoyu angrily shouted, "Can't you speak in one go?!"
Ren Guobin scratched his head innocently, and Shi Ruoyu quickly urged him to start working. The iron door was already creaking, and it was about to give way!
He looked around, called Ye Yizhou over, and had him tie all the bed sheets and blankets together. Since he had a power, and the others didn't, his threads could help him climb down, but they were too thin and invisible, so they couldn't support the others. They had to use the bed sheets and blankets as a rope to climb down slowly. After all, they were on the fourth floor, and jumping down would likely result in broken legs or worse!
Although Ye Yizhou was quiet and preferred dogs and Yang Mi over normal humans, he was reliable in critical moments. Despite his burly appearance, he worked quickly and efficiently, tying the bed sheets and blankets into a secure knot. Shi Ruoyu tested it and found it to be very sturdy!
However, just as they finished the 'rope,' the iron door let out a loud bang and was rammed open by the zombies! Even a zombie's blood-stained, dirty arm reached in, trying to grope around!
Ah Chou, seeing this, pounced without hesitation and bit down. The bulldog's bite force was astonishing, and with one bite, he tore off the arm with a terrifying ripping sound!
However, zombies had no sense of pain, and even with an arm missing, they continued to push in! The gap in the iron door grew larger and larger!
Soon, more arms reached in, and Ah Chou didn't hesitate, biting each one and barking fiercely, as if trying to intimidate the zombies...
At this moment, Shi Ruoyu and Ye Yizhou had almost finished their work. They rushed over to help. Shi Ruoyu glanced at Shen Wenting, who was still sleeping soundly. Her ability to sleep was truly incredible, and at this moment, he found himself slightly missing the hidden personality of Shen Wenting...
Shi Ruoyu used his power, the threads, to tightly bind a zombie and shouted, "Old Ren, how's it going over there?!"
Ren Guobin was completely focused on dismantling the iron bars and didn't respond. Shi Ruoyu had no choice but to continue holding the line with Ye Yizhou and Ah Chou!
At this moment, a particularly dim-witted zombie saw the gap was large enough and stuck its head in, opening its mouth and making a loud noise. If it had been anyone else, they would have been scared, but it was Ye Yizhou.
Without hesitation, the big guy swung his stick and smashed it down! One, two, three times... Ye Yizhou continued to smash the zombie's head until it was completely shattered!
However, at that moment, the iron door finally gave way to the zombies' force and crashed down!
Fortunately, Shi Ruoyu was quick and pulled Ah Chou away just in time, or the little dog would have been crushed!
With the iron door down, the zombies no longer had to reach in and were now rushing into the room en masse!
Ye Yizhou grunted, grabbed the leading zombie, and slammed it into the others! Although he was strong, he couldn't compare to Shen Wenting's hidden personality, and the zombies, lacking pain, quickly recovered and charged again!
Ye Yizhou pushed back one zombie but was tackled by another. Even lying on the ground, he kicked the zombie away, but more came!
Ah Chou, in a panic, tried to save his owner but was grabbed by a zombie, which bit down without hesitation!
At that moment, Ren Guobin was still busy, and Shen Wenting was still sleeping. Only Shi Ruoyu was standing at the door. Seeing Ye Yizhou and Ah Chou in danger, he roared in anger, and ten fine threads burst from his fingers, wildly slashing at the zombie holding Ah Chou!
Ordinary people couldn't see the threads, let alone the zombies, who ignored Shi Ruoyu. The ten threads instantly made contact with the zombie!
At this critical moment, Shi Ruoyu felt his blood suddenly ignite! The feeling was the same as when he first gained his power a few hours ago!
He thought the zombie would be entangled by the threads, and he even planned to tie it up. However, a miracle happened. The threads, upon contact, didn't wrap around the zombie but cut into it like extremely sharp blades!
The ten threads, like ten extremely sharp knives, sliced through the zombie's body!
In the next second, several cracks appeared on its body, and it was cut into over a dozen pieces, blood splattering everywhere, and the scene was extremely gruesome and terrifying!
To be honest, Shi Ruoyu was also shocked by this scene!
