The west side was Tang Ling's only escape route if something uncontrollable happened.
This was because there was a small slope on the west side of the warehouse area, which surrounded the west side of the warehouse area.
During the old civilization era, it might have been a small hill in the city, but as time went by, it became a special hill.
The side facing the garage was a hill that was no more than 50 meters tall. The other side was relatively steep and stuck closely to the evil crevice.
Therefore, there would not be a lot of zombies there because the crevice was too evil. Not only could it disguise itself, but one must wear the badge of the Hope Barrier in order to see its true face.
On top of that, one would instinctively avoid getting close to the crevice.
As a matter of fact, it was not just humans. Tang Ling had observed through his few shifts that any existence with slightly sharper senses would not get close to the crevice. Some would even stay within a certain range of the crevice.
Although the zombies were not humans, their brains still had the structure of humans. Even if they only had their instincts, they were still stronger than common beasts, so they were even more reluctant to get close to the crevice.
Therefore, the west side …
Tang Ling stood on the roof and saw everything clearly. Just like what he expected, there were no zombies on the west side of the hill.
Garage No. 19 was originally located at the northwest corner of the garage and was close to the west side, so it was unusually close to the hill. If he wanted to escape …
Tang Ling believed that he could only rely on his original plan, but he did not expect that the current situation would be a lot more difficult than his original plan.
Perhaps even if he really did it, he would still end up dead, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope …
Tang Ling was a very decisive person. After he made up his mind, he went back the way he came without a second thought. However, for the sake of safety, he stabbed the grade C alloy longsword deep into the roof of the garage and used it as a fulcrum to tie the light climbing rope around the longsword.

"That's the situation. The only way is to take a gamble." After he returned to the office, Tang Ling spent less than two minutes telling everyone about the situation and his plan.
What was left was simple. They would either stay in the office and wait for reinforcements or risk their lives and take a gamble. However, there was not much time left for them to make a decision.
"Let's do it! We'll follow your plan. " Yu was the first to make a decision. He did not know what Tang Ling meant when he said that the southeast door would collapse in a few more minutes.
However, even if Tang Ling was trying to scare them, the actual situation would not last long and Yu knew it very well.
"Then let's fight." Orston stretched his body.
Vivian, Christina, and Andy couldn't make a decision yet.
But Amir objected. He quickly said, "Why can't there be a safer way? For example, when the small door at the southeast corner is breached and the zombies rush in, we can go to the roof. Then, we'll wait for an opportunity on the roof and look for a chance to lure away the zombies at the bottom of the slope. Then, we'll take the chance to rush up the slope. "
Indeed, Tang Ling's plan was not complicated at all. All he had to do was open all the doors and lure the zombies into the building.
That way, the zombies at the bottom of the roof would be reduced instantly. Tang Ling would then jump down the roof and lure the zombies at the bottom of the slope into the garage.
Then, they retreated back to the office in an orderly manner. They dashed up the roof and jumped down the slope. All they had to do was follow the crack back to the Hope Barrier and the Fierce Dragon Squad would be safe.
The plan sounded simple, but in fact, it was a huge challenge in terms of timing and stamina consumption. On top of that, it was very dangerous because the slightest mistake would cause them to fall into the sea of zombies.
Amir's objection was reasonable. Why couldn't he choose a more reliable method?
It seemed like Amir's suggestion tempted everyone. What if they could use a safer way? Who would be willing to take the risk in such a dense sea of zombies?
Tang Ling took a deep breath and tapped Amir's shoulder. He then said in an unusually quick tone, "Three o 'clock.
First, the zombies aren't controllable. When will they swarm into the garage? We can't control the timing, so we don't know how long we'll have to wait.
Second, the roof isn't safe. If we all go up to the roof, we'll expose ourselves. The zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell. I can't guarantee what will happen if we go up to the roof without any cover.
Think about it. If a Level 2 Crawler comes, will the walls stop it?
Third, if all of us go up to the roof, how attractive will the zombies be to the storehouse without any food?
My idea is to control everything. Even if it's risky, we must control the zombies! "
Tang Ling then looked extremely serious. "A battle is a battle of life and death. We can't think about any kind of insurance. If we do that, we'll lose.
I'm done. Everyone can choose again. "
Indeed, in terms of the ability to judge the overall situation of the battlefield, even the high-ranking generals were not as good as Tang Ling.
Before he climbed up to the roof, he had thought it through. The only thing he did not expect was that the sawtooth tank was still in the garage area.
"Let's take the risk." Everyone agreed because other than that, there was no other safer way.
**
Vivian and Christina crouched on the roof, shivering.
Maybe it was because of the chilly night breeze, or maybe it was because the sawtooth tank was still devouring the zombies.
The vivid swallowing made one feel like they could hear the grinding of human bones and blood between its teeth. They could also hear the last agonizing wails of the innocent and brave soldiers.
On the Cliff of Hope, a dazzling light shone.
He still remembered what he saw in the swaying hanging box that day. It was the location of the Level 2 Sector Protection Machine.
In the south, cannon fire sounded. In order for the troops to break into the garage area, the Hope Barrier used firearms.
What about the garage area beneath their feet? There were 12 sectors. Some of them were filled with zombies while some had soldiers breaking out of the encirclement and killing each other. It was like a small whirlpool in the middle of a vast ocean. It was hard to imagine whether there was a chance of survival.
What was Instructor Yang Kong doing? Was he in the command center?
Were the people of Safety Sector No. 17 sound asleep? It was impossible to imagine what kind of danger was happening on the other side of the cliff.
Tang Ling stood on the roof in front of the two girls. The sleeves of his battle uniform were rolled up and the Wolf Crunch was held tightly in his hand. He thought of the soldier who kissed his weapon and prayed before he left.
In the eyes of Vian and Christina, his slightly frail figure gave them a sense of security.
Inside the dark garage.
Orston kissed the stiletto in his hand. It was a gift from his family and he looked at Amir.
Yu silently extended his right hand and looked at Andy, whose face was slightly pale.
"Let's begin."
Orston waved his stiletto and rolled up his battle uniform. A bone-deep wound appeared on his exposed arm and blood gushed out.
Then, Amir …
Yu's right hand also cut his own arm mercilessly. He had to have enough blood.
Andy closed his eyes and extended his arm to Yu.
**
All four of his arms were also dripping with warm blood.
Even though they were still outside the garage door, it was enough to send the zombies into a frenzy.
Indeed, humans were the zombies' favorite food. Human blood was the deadly poppy that the zombies were addicted to.
"Open the door." Orston's loud voice echoed in the dark garage.
Clatter!
Pak!
The door in the north and the smaller door in the southeast opened at the same time.
"Run! Follow Tang Ling's route! " The moment the door opened, the night breeze with the stench of the zombies gushed in like a tidal wave.
Countless grayish-white eyes were filled with bloodlust as they gushed into the garage without a care for their lives.
The dripping blood was the best control agent. From that moment onward, the zombie tide would pursue the four of them relentlessly.
How long would they have to endure? A minute? Five minutes? Ten minutes?
Garage No. 19 was less than a hundred meters away from the hill! Forget ten minutes. They would not last more than ten minutes …
Andy's eyes were bloodshot as she listened to the howls behind her. All she could do was pray that there were no higher-level mutated zombies among them. Otherwise, she would not even last half a minute.
"Tang Ling, Tang Ling, you have to be faster …" Andy was crying in her heart.
Orston, Yu, and Amir were the same.
