A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 824: Fighting and Training

Since the quarry camp was located east of Atlanta and this destination was west of Atlanta, everyone prepared to bypass the city from the highway south of Atlanta.

Along the way, Daryl carried a crossbow and a pistol and rode the Harley motorcycle that Lu Cheng brought back. He was responsible for exploring the way ahead. If he found a road that was blocked or encountered a group of zombies, he would come back to report in advance.

Lu Cheng's Hummer followed closely behind, Glenn was driving while Lu Cheng was observing the situation along the way.

Further back was Dell's RV, two military trucks carrying supplies, and several family cars and jeeps.

At the end of the team was another off-road vehicle carrying Rick and Moore, who were responsible for covering their retreat.

The car drove smoothly for 60 to 70 kilometers. Near noon, Daryl, who was exploring the road ahead, suddenly came back on a motorcycle and explained the situation ahead: "About three kilometers ahead, there are several cars parked in the middle of the road, blocking the road. In addition, there is a group of zombies nearby, about a hundred in number. Should we go around them?"

"No need. If we choose to take a detour, we will have to walk at least thirty more kilometers. Just approach them directly, and I will teach you how to kill the zombies quickly."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng turned on the intercom and informed the team members of the situation: "Everyone, please pay attention. There is a small group of zombies about three kilometers ahead. I will teach you how to kill them quickly."

When everyone heard Lu Cheng's words, they panicked. Some even wanted to stop the car. Then they heard Lu Cheng's voice again on the intercom: "There are only a hundred zombies. I can kill them all by myself. What are you afraid of? Those zombies have no thoughts, move slowly, and can only attack with their mouths. We have the most abundant guns and ammunition, even heavy machine guns. Killing them is like a modern army against barbarians. What's so scary about that?"

After hearing this, everyone calmed down. Moore even said, "It's just a hundred damn zombies. If you give me bullets, I can kill them all. You cowards, just wait and see my performance."

"Moir, stop bragging. We all believe that Lu has such ability, but you are still far from it."

"Then shall we make a bet?"

Now that these words were spoken, everyone was no longer so nervous.

The distance was two or three kilometers, which took two or three minutes for the convoy to quickly arrive near the group of zombies.

At a distance of about 100 meters from the zombie group, Lu Cheng ordered the car to stop: "Women and children stay in the car, don't run around. All men get out of the car and follow me to kill the zombies. Of course, if any lady wants to kill the zombies herself, she is welcome to do so. In addition, everyone should bring useful cold weapons, I will teach you how to kill them at close range."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng had already gotten out of the car carrying two baseball bats.

Others also got out of the car, and the fighters followed Lu Cheng, carrying rifles or shotguns on their backs, pistols on their waists, and holding crowbars, baseball bats, fire axes, pickaxes and other weapons in their hands.

Just as everyone got off the bus, the zombies not far away began to gather towards the vehicle.

"Everyone, please pay attention. Try to minimize the use of guns. Form a group of three, with two people in front and one in the back. The person in front is holding a cold weapon, and the person in the back is using a pistol for support. If you encounter more than two zombies, don't panic. Make a sound to attract them, disperse them, and then attack...

These zombies move slowly, so the fast ones can go around their sides or behind them. You can also choose some longer weapons, such as spears, long sticks, and maces. We can get some explosion-proof equipment in the future. For simple ones, you can also find some magazines and wrap them around your arms and body with tape..."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng walked towards the place where the zombies were densely packed, as if he was strolling in the garden. He swung the two baseball bats in his hands and smashed the heads of the zombies one after another. The whole process was like playing a game of whack-a-mole, effortless.

During the entire process, Lu Cheng did not even have any blood on his body.

Rick, Moore, Jim and others who had experience in killing zombies followed Lu Cheng's instructions and took action in groups of three.

Others who had little experience also began to follow suit.

Lu Cheng killed most of the zombies in a short period of time, and deliberately killed those that gathered together, so that the remaining zombies were in relatively scattered positions.

Then, Lu Cheng threw down two baseball bats, clasped a few steel nails with his hands, signaled others to start taking action, and he would support them.

Under Lu Cheng's leadership, the men began to kill the zombies in an orderly manner. If any of them failed to kill the zombies in the first time, Lu Cheng would throw out a steel nail to help them kill the zombies and then give them encouragement.

Seeing this, Andrea also got out of the car, picked up a baseball bat used by Lu Cheng, mustered up his courage, walked up to a lone zombie, and hit it with the bat, but because of his nervousness, he hit the zombie on the shoulder.

Just as the zombie was about to pounce on her, a steel nail was nailed directly into the zombie's forehead. Andrea quickly turned back to thank him, but Lu Cheng reminded her: "Don't be distracted during the battle. If you miss, retreat quickly, keep your distance, and look for a second chance."

Then Lu Cheng looked at the others.

In fact, Andrea's character is not good. She is arrogant, prejudiced, selfish, and self-righteous. She doesn't want to do the laundry and cooking like other women, but wants to fight like men. There is nothing wrong with thinking this way, but she always overestimates her abilities, which easily brings some unnecessary troubles.

In fact, many people in the team are still immature and have not fully adapted to this end of the world.

Even the fat black boy named T sometimes gets panicked and causes trouble.

Lu Cheng will not view these people completely based on the characters in the original drama, but will give them a chance to hone and grow under his leadership.

If they can grow up quickly, they will naturally become the backbone of the team. If they perform poorly, they will naturally be marginalized.

No matter what time it is, the fittest will survive and the unfit will be eliminated.

In the following battles, everyone involved killed at least three zombies and became much braver.

Since they were able to easily deal with more than a hundred zombies this time, they would be able to maintain a relatively stable mentality when facing the same number or even more zombies in the future. After a few more battles and mastering certain experience and combat skills, they would be able to carry out missions independently.

After the battle, Lu Cheng took a piece of rebar that he had picked up earlier from the truck, walked to the cars in the middle of the road, and easily knocked all the cars away, clearing the obstacles in the middle of the road.

At the same time, others moved some bodies out of the way and cleared the road.

After finishing their work, everyone came to a pickup truck carrying lake water, turned on the faucet at the back, and did a simple cleanup.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Cheng also gave everyone a brief summary of the battle: "Everyone performed well and deserves encouragement. T-boy, don't panic next time."

"Yes, Captain, I won't panic next time."

"Moir, don't take risks and rush forward. Pay attention to teamwork."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, boss."

"Well, this victory is worth celebrating. Glenn, give everyone a bottle of juice and Coke."

"Boss, can I have whiskey instead?"

"You can't drink alcohol during the march. You must stay sober at all times. However, I can give you a bottle of whiskey when we get to a safe place."

During the rest of the journey, everyone felt much more relaxed and no longer afraid of unknown risks. From time to time, laughter could be heard among the team.
