Chapter 283: Ingenious Escape Plan
"Did they all die at the hands of zombies?" Dilraba asked skeptically. "Are there only six of you left? What about the others?"
Clearly, Dilraba was highly suspicious that the situation was not that simple. Enjoy new adventures at M V L
These six people were obviously among the weaker ones in the breakout team. According to reason, even if there were survivors, it shouldn't have been them.
"The others are all dead. Most of them were eaten by zombies. My husband and Gao Yuanyuan's husband died on their own," Liu Shishi vaguely said.
None of them wanted to dwell on the details of what happened just now because speaking about it was not honorable. At the same time, it made them even more sorrowful.
However, Dilraba and the others quickly understood the implications of their words.
While the majority may have been killed by zombies, those who survived were not just these six people.
After the arrival of that demon inside, he must have done something to them.
Thinking of this, Tong Liya, Dilraba, and the others couldn't help but shudder.
"Where are you now?" Dilraba continued to inquire.
Gao Yuanyuan said impatiently, "Reba, why are you asking so many questions?"
Zhang Yuqi glanced deeply at Dilraba and answered, "We're at the back door. The back door is completely blocked, swarmed with zombies. Even if we don't attract them, we can't escape. Everyone has given up on the idea of escaping."
Zhang Yuqi secretly guessed Dilraba's thoughts. Dilraba asked so many questions because she still harbored the illusion of escaping.
She felt that Dilraba was a good person, kindly reminding her.
However, Dilraba's eyes lit up, and she thanked them before walking away on her own.
Dilraba had been observing the surroundings, trying to find a way to bypass the zombies and enter the riverside garden.
Her speculation was correct. The commotion caused by the breakout team must have attracted a large number of zombies to the corridor on the first floor.
The zombies in the riverside garden were likely drawn to the entrance as well.
This was an opportunity!
Dilraba walked to the window and looked at the rope hanging beside it.
People here believed that the only way to reach the riverside park was through a narrow passage, passing through the back door.
But they overlooked another route!
The rooftop!
This theater only had three floors, and the rooftop was entirely made of steel frames and reinforced glass. It was smooth and definitely devoid of people.
The rope outside the window, dropped by someone unknown, was visibly leading up to the rooftop!
As long as she climbed up the rope to the rooftop, walked along the rooftop to the position of the riverside garden, and then found a safe place to quietly lower the rope and climb down.
If she could avoid the zombies, there was a good chance she could reach the yacht and leave aboard it!
Once on the river, the zombies wouldn't be able to catch up with her!
Then, she could use the yacht to search for a new refuge or even establish one on her own!
"Reba, what are you looking at?" Tong Liya noticed Reba's unusual behavior and walked to the window, asking in a hushed tone.
With her plan already in place, Dilraba pulled Tong Liya, Gulnazar, and others aside and whispered mysteriously, "Liya, I observed just now that there's a rope outside the window that leads to the rooftop!"
"Just now, you all heard what Yuqi said. The zombies in the riverside garden have been drawn to the entrance. We can take advantage of this opportunity to go from the rooftop to the riverside garden and then sneak onto the yacht!"
"As long as we're on the yacht, we'll be safe! Have you noticed? There are no monsters in the river, and the zombies dare not approach the riverbank. Once we're on the yacht, we'll be completely safe. By then, all we have to do is sit on the yacht and find a new refuge, or better yet, establish one on our own, without having to worry about others' opinions!"
Dilraba spoke, her delicate fist clenched with determination.
"Reba, have you ever thought that it's the apocalypse now? Even if there are other refuges, do you think we, as women, can live better than we are now?"
"I've been thinking. Even if we manage to escape, what if we encounter bad people outside? The one inside, although somewhat cruel and rude, at least follows some rules, provides food, and treats women decently. The most important thing is that it's just one person! But we have so many women. Even if we get mistreated, it's only by one person, and we have many others to share the burden."
"But if the few of us go out and encounter a gang of thugs, it won't be that simple anymore!"
Tong Liya's meaning was clear, and Dilraba fell into deep thought all of a sudden.
Yes!
The man currently ruling over them is powerful and can indeed provide them with a better life. Moreover, the crucial point is that there is only one of him.
Tong Liya's words were straightforward but reasonable.
Being bullied by one person is still better than being mistreated by a group later, right?
And, at least, the man inside is not bad.
Not ugly, not old, and he's neat and decent.
His treatment towards women is also acceptable, and when it comes to food, he's never stingy. What he provides is always of good quality.
Moreover, this man has considerable strength, capable of ensuring their safety and providing them with food.
If they're unlucky and fall into the hands of thugs, things won't be as fortunate.
Thinking about the possible torture by those evildoers, Juxi Jingyi and Zheng Shuang, two young girls, shivered in fear.
And outside, with the current state of affairs, ordinary people might not be able to obtain much food.
If they end up in the hands of those evildoers, not only will they be mistreated by a group, but they might also go hungry, living a life worse than pigs and dogs!
But that's not the worst part. Even more tragic is that if those people are sick, they might be tortured to death or die from illness.
After all, it's the apocalypse now!
No matter what, they must be prepared for the worst!
What Tong Liya said was not exaggerated at all!
"Then let's establish our own refuge! We rely on ourselves!" Dilraba's expression was firm and determined. She spoke with a strong will, "We don't necessarily have to depend on others!"
"Food? Where do we find food? You saw it yourself, outside is crawling with zombies! Even if we can escape to the yacht, it may be safe there, but what about food? What about water? We can't directly drink the river water; it turns people into zombies!
And there's nothing on the yacht to boil water. Drinking water is a big problem!" Tong Liya said with a serious expression. "So, if we want to find food, if we want to find water, we'll have to approach the shore, and approaching the shore will bring unexpected dangers!"
"The apocalypse has been going on for more than five months. We've been trapped here, and just the zombies around us are so formidable and numerous! You can imagine that in other places, it's definitely a hell on earth!"
"We can go find an organization! As long as we find an organization, there will be protection, and we can exchange our work for food and water. With an organization, there will be laws and rules, and we won't be bullied," Juxi Jingyi naively said.
"Weiwei, you're too naive!" Gulnazar spoke at this moment. "If the organization is still around, after more than five months, they should have started searching and rescuing survivors. But have you seen any search and rescue teams? Have you heard any broadcasts or anything like that? Don't talk about search and rescue teams, we haven't even seen a passing plane in the sky!
With such a large river, we haven't seen a single boat passing by! Do you still not understand the situation? The organization is gone!"
Gulnazar sighed in despair.
Several people fell into silence, and Dilireba, who had been determined, suddenly looked dim. Dilireba realized that she had been too naive. Even if they, a few powerless women, managed to escape, what could they do? They might encounter even greater danger outside and live a tragic life. They might even become food for the zombies in a direct attack.
At this moment, Lin Zhiling walked over with a smile, looked at the rope outside the window without a word, and then said with a smile, "Reba, what are you whispering about here? Do you have a good plan to escape?"
Tong Liya looked at Lin Zhiling with caution, smiled and shook her head, "No, we are just discussing what to do next."
"Oh, I see. I thought you had a way to escape. If you do, remember to take us with you. There is strength in numbers. Although we are all women, if we can get to the yacht, I have a good place to go."
Lin Zhiling had been deliberately eavesdropping on their conversation and had only heard some of it. She didn't know the full plan of Dilireba and the others, so she wanted to find a way to get them to talk.
"Really?" Zheng Shuang suddenly became excited and said, "Sister Ling, as long as we get on the yacht, do you really have a way for all of us to survive?"
"Of course! Unfortunately, we have no way to get to the yacht. You saw how powerful Han Hong and her breakout team were. They were all wiped out, and if it wasn't for the big shot inside, all six of them would have died," Lin Zhiling sighed with regret, looking disappointed.
"If I have a way to take everyone to the yacht, Shiling, you have to tell us, where can we go if we really get on the yacht?" Dilireba became excited when she heard that Lin Zhiling had a good plan.
"To Yingguang Island!" Lin Zhiling said confidently. "It's not far from here to Yingguang Island! I've been there before and know the island. Although the mainland is full of zombies now, the island might be safe! There's a harbor, fishing boats, and a large hotel with plenty of food! If necessary, we can also fish for a living!
As long as we can get to the island, we'll be safe!"
"Yingguang Island?" At this point, Gulnazar's eyes also brightened, and she became excited. She also knew Yingguang Island and had been there once for a vacation. It was indeed a good place, with everything one could need and abundant resources to support many people. Most importantly, Yingguang Island is far from the mainland and may not have been affected by the zombie virus.
"I know this island! Shiling is right!" Gulnazar said with certainty.
"It's just a pity that we can't leave here," Lin Zhiling said regretfully.
"No! We have a way!" Dilireba pointed excitedly outside the window and told Lin Zhiling her entire plan.
