Chapter 276 – Digging a Hole ……

Zhou Hao’s trio arrived at the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall side, and saw that a group of zombies were still lingering on the square, in addition to some lingering on the road that had attracted the zombies earlier. Seeing these zombies, Zhou Hao’s trio didn’t have much to worry about and didn’t care about this number of zombies.

Zhou Hao immediately shot at these zombies to get rid of them as fast as possible, so as not to let the other zombies realize that they were coming here again.

Zhou Hao was using the Ghost Sniper Burning Bullet, which was now the only bullet that could be used as a ranged attack. Using fire to deal with these zombies is good and efficient, Ghost Sniper burning bullets fly past, the number of these zombies in the hundred or so, a time certainly not be able to rush up to put out the fire to stamp out. The more these zombies rushed up, the bigger the fire burned, not long here more than a hundred zombies were Zhou Hao three people to solve the problem.

The zombies that stayed on the road near the square were also attracted over, and were all killed by Zhou Hao’s trio.

Soon, there were no more living zombies to be seen on the plaza, leaving only a field of dead zombie corpses.

“Should we go inside the mall? See if there will be any zombies inside.” After resolving all the zombies in the plaza, Coyote immediately asked Zhou Hao and Zhuge Hongduan both when he saw the Li’s Department Store Grand Mall that was close at hand.

“We definitely need to go in and take a look, otherwise what if we let Return to Zero and the others come over and the mall is full of zombies?” Zhou Hao said.

“Alright, let’s go in then.” Coyote responded.

“It shouldn’t be a problem for you two to go in first, right?” Zhou Hao suddenly said.

“You’re not going in?” The two of them, Wild Wolf and Zhuge Hongduan, looked at Zhou Hao in confusion, not understanding why Zhou Hao was not following them in.

“You guys go in now, and I’ll use something to block all the roads around these neighborhoods, lest that large group of zombies run back again.”

“Oh, so that’s it.” The two of them, Wild Wolf and Zhuge Hongduan, were immediately relieved when they heard Zhou Hao’s words. “Then be careful, remember to escape if you can’t deal with it, don’t be brave.”

“Don’t worry, I’m still very good at escaping.”

“……”

So the three of them separated into two ways, Wild Wolf and Zhuge Hongduan went into Li’s Department Store to see what was going on inside. Zhou Hao didn’t go in with them, he was going to use the Ghost Wall to “blockade” the surrounding streets.

Coyote asked Zhou Hao to finish his business, do not come into the Lee’s Department Store, after all, for fear that after Zhou Hao went in, everyone will not be easy to find. So let Zhou Hao in the shopping mall doorway near this waiting on it, if anything happens in the mall, Zhou Hao in the doorway here also have a care.

Coyote and Zhuge Hongduan explained some words to Zhou Hao, and then walked up to Li’s Department Store.

Before Coyote and Zhuge Hongduan left, Zhou Hao also summoned high-explosive grenades and gave them three high-explosive grenades each. With the high-explosive grenades, the attack aspect of the two of them was also much improved when they encountered zombies. When the high-explosive grenades exploded, it also reminded Zhou Hao, who was outside, that Coyote and Zhuge Hongduan had encountered enemies.

Zhou Hao began to do his own thing only after he watched Coyote and Zhuge Hongduan walk into the Li’s Department Store shopping mall.

Li’s Department Store was located on one side of the square, and there were several buildings on both sides of the mall, followed by two roads on both sides. Zhou Hao looked around, if he just blocked the range of the plaza here with a ghost wall, he would need to block five entrances and exits. Although it was only five, three of them were very wide, at least more than twenty meters. This would result in a lot of ghost walls that would need to be used.

If a street entrance was to be blocked, the height of the ghost wall had to be more than five meters, such a height would be able to block the zombie hordes very well. In fact, even with this height, if a large group of zombies were to attack, this height would not be able to block it. Because these zombies would use the stacking method to break through such a high ghost wall, one by one, the zombies would use their own bodies to stack up high, causing the zombies behind them to trample and climb on their companions’ bodies, and then they would be able to climb through these heights.

So, five meters high is not that high, however, with a minimum ten meters wide for an intersection, the ghost wall with five meters high, 5×10 is also fifty square meters. In other words, it would take fifty Ghost Walls to block such a fence, and the Ghost Sniper bullets that would need to be consumed would have to be more than 500 rounds.

500 rounds ah, does not seem much, but five intersections are blocked to play, Zhou Hao this day’s ghost sniper bullets to use up a large part of it.

Moreover, the width of those other intersections could be more than ten meters, and the doors and windows of Li’s Department Store here should definitely be blocked up as well. This is also in order to prevent a zombie break through the wall of the street, as long as Li’s department store shopping mall doors and windows are surrounded by a ghost wall, it will be able to make Li’s department store shopping mall’s defense more solid, and will not happen and the same situation as Tianhong Supermarket.

No matter what, the Ghost Sniper Bullets to be consumed today was a huge figure, and it might have to be consumed like this every day in the future. There was no way around it, it had to be done in order for himself and his people to live in a safe place.

The first thing Zhou Hao came to was the street that the large group of zombies had run to, because all of these zombies had been lured away from here, and now it was definitely time to block the back roads of these zombies.

This was a T-shaped intersection, and as soon as he saw the twenty-meter-wide intersection here, Zhou Hao’s heart ached. It would take more than a thousand rounds of Ghost sniper ammunition to block this intersection, so it really couldn’t hurt.

Zhou Hao didn’t go out to the outside to block the turn there, because the blocking in the outside is going to block another intersection, so Zhou Hao only chose to come out from the square of this intersection.

Zhou Hao looked at the intersection, but also slowly stretched out his head to look at the street where the zombie group left. By now, the zombies had run away, but there were still some scattered zombies on the street, as well as piles of zombie corpses.

Looking at these zombies, Zhou Hao didn’t attack them, he was afraid of startling the zombies that had run away, lest they run back again.

“However, this road is the intersection where the three of them came by themselves, and by blocking this road, later on, Dugu Returns to Zero and the others will have to take a detour in order to come in here.”

Zhou Hao looked at another road, this one was the road that Zhou Hao’s trio had come from before. Looking at this road, then Zhou Hao looked at the road where the zombie horde had left, Zhou Hao was in a bit of a bind. If he used the ghost wall to block the intersection where the zombie horde had left, then the intersection where he had come from would have to be blocked as well, or else the place would be left empty for other zombies to come through.

The only thing Zhou Hao could do now without wasting the Ghost Wall would be to block this intersection coming out of the square.

Zhou Hao just wanted to summon the Ghost Wall, and immediately began to have trouble again. This was because Zhou Hao realized that it was easy to summon the Ghost Wall to block it, but it was a bit difficult to make the Ghost Wall block more solid. After all, the ghost wall was only placed on the ground, and did not go deep into the ground to become solid.

If the ghost wall was not solid, some zombies might knock it down. As such, the ghost wall became an empty box, not playing a solid defense effect.

If a building’s foundation is not stable, it will easily collapse, and the same goes for a wall. If the bottom wasn’t stable, a random bump would cause the wall to collapse.

The Ghost Wall was no exception.

The maximum thickness of the Ghost Wall was only fifty centimeters, which did not have a stabilizing effect at all. Zhou Hao was a little depressed, if he wasn’t able to secure the ghost walls, it would be difficult to make these ghost walls play a better defensive role.

Looking at the concrete path on the ground, Zhou Hao’s mind raced with thoughts of how to solve such a problem.

Suddenly, Zhou Hao’s eyes lit up and a solution came to his mind.

Ghost walls could change into various shapes, so one could completely turn a ghost wall into a rake-like shape. Of course, a piece of ghost wall wouldn’t need a lot of “nails”, three to four would do. Then use these ghost wall with nails to tightly nailed to the concrete floor, so that the entire ghost wall can not be stabilized?

Looking at the hard concrete path, Zhou Hao frowned, then extended his adamantium claws.

“The adamantium claws should be able to make holes out of this concrete road, but there has to be a way to connect the holes to be made with each other in a straight line, lest the Ghost Wall be placed crookedly later.”

So Zhou Hao ran into the hardware store next to him and flipped `out’ to get a bundle of wires. Securing one end of the wire here in front of the store, Zhou Hao then pulled the wire all the way across the road to that store.

After fixing this end of the wire tightly to the ground as well, Zhou Hao began to use his adamantium claws on the ground.

The adamantine claws were both hard and sharp, and with Zhou Hao’s strength, he was easily able to drill holes in the concrete floor. With one hand, he extended three sharp adamantium claws and turned them on the ground, just enough to drill fist-sized holes. With holes this large, each piece was secured within four holes, enough to keep the Ghost Wall in place.

Although it was said that the longest length that the Ghost Wall could extend out was only fifty inside, however, by drilling the holes a little, Zhou Hao’s hand was able to reach down into it. As he turned his adamantium claws, he also retracted his claws and reached down to dig out the dirt and such.

In this way, while Zhou Hao was “digging” the hole, he was also paying attention to the situation around him, fearing that there might be some kind of zombie or something sneaking up on him.

Although he could hear the roars of the zombie hordes in the distance, there weren’t any zombies in the neighborhood, except for another street, which seemed very quiet.

Zhou Hao quickly dug holes in this “quiet” environment. Each hole, Zhou Hao would dig until his hand could completely reach in, after all, if he went any further, there would be no way to use his hands to pluck up the soil.

Each hole, too, was almost a meter deep, and with such a depth, one should also be able to fix the ghost wall.

A piece of ghost wall was fixed in three to four holes in the ground, this wall down, there were almost seventy to eighty holes. With so many holes being dug up by Zhou Hao, Zhou Hao himself didn’t know how much time he had spent.

After digging up these holes, Zhou Hao immediately began to summon the Ghost Wall. First, he fixed the Ghost Wall, which was designed with “nails”, onto the holes in the ground.
