Wang Qiang frowned slightly, glancing sideways and muttering, "Who the hell is that? Brain-fried and screaming like hell over there! Could it be Ah Cheng!"

Honestly, Ah Cheng's roar was really something. So loud and shocking that even those in the monitoring team at the bottom of the building were genuinely frightened.

Wu Chao listened intently, the mix of noises was incredibly chaotic, making it very difficult to distinguish them.

He uncertainly said, "Hmm, Ah Cheng is shouting, but~ it seems Quan is yelling too!"

Apparently surprised by his own deduction, Wu Chao couldn't believe Tang Xiaoquan would lose his mind due to nervousness.

"Damn it, what did I say! This plan is totally not gonna work! Look at us now, the car won't start, and those two idiots upstairs are acting crazy! No way, I have to go up and stop them, or we're all screwed!" Grabbing the Long Spear, Wang Qiang was about to leave, but a hulking figure swiftly blocked his way.

"Hu Ge, what are you doing? Get out of the way! Let me go up!"

Hu Xiaodong stood firm, raising his eyebrows to meet Wang Qiang's eyes, sternly commanding, "You! Cannot go!"

"Why! Hu Ge, don't you get it, they're playing with fire right now..."

Raising his hand to interrupt Wang Qiang's protest, Hu Xiaodong calmly said, "You don't need to say anymore. I trust Xiao Tang has his judgment. Besides, even if you go up now, you can't change anything. Just stay and hold your position!"

Though Wang Qiang couldn't accept the elder brother's words, he was begrudgingly forced back to his place by Hu Xiaodong's sheer physical might, venting his frustration internally.

He had no choice, for the man's arms were thicker than his thighs!

Tang Xiaoquan and Ah Cheng continued shouting energetically from the rooftop, their rising voices surging like speakers at a plaza dance party.

Finally! Their persistent effort started showing results, as the zombies at the bottom of the building began to turn around.

"Great, Ah Cheng! Nicely done! Keep it up, we're about to succeed!" Tang Xiaoquan's face flushed from shouting, but his unmistakable joy was still evident.

No need for Tang Xiaoquan to remind him; Ah Cheng was already fully engrossed in the thrill brought by yelling insults.

He cursed and screamed with increasingly fervent joy, dancing and jumping around like a freestyle rapper at a million-person concert, leaving everyone unsure if he was completing a task or merely reveling in the pleasure of venting.

Whatever the case, thanks to Ah Cheng's dedication, the zombies' steps finally shifted direction. They started gradually adjusting their pace towards the survivors on the balcony.

No point in wasting time, now was the moment to strike while the iron was hot!

Reaching for the last two Incendiary Bottles, Tang Xiaoquan didn't hesitate, aiming carefully at the leading two "unlucky ones" and threw them forcefully.

"Splash!" Instantly, liquor splattered over the "unlucky ones'" faces, and "whoosh," a few flames ignited.

What a spectacle! Once the flames erupted, it caused quite the commotion.

You should know, zombies have no brains and can't remember past events; they only respond based on what they see currently.

And right now, the freshly ignited flames evidently piqued the creatures' intense interest.

They continued to crowd and shove, striving to approach the burning corpses.

Consequently, what was once tiny flames were rapidly fueled by momentum, transforming into a blazing sea of fire.

What a spectacular scene! Tang Xiaoquan couldn't help but gasp at the fiery sight even from the rooftop.

Hu Xiaodong was equally amazed. Though he had prepared for it, he still hadn't foreseen the young men upstairs causing such a ruckus.

And not just that; more importantly, due to his diversion, the weak iron door set into the wall was currently being strained under the zombies' growing pressure, emitting a series of sharp metallic clattering sounds, seemingly bound to collapse soon.

"It's over! It's over!" Wang Qiang sighed longingly into the sky, leaning against the wall with his Long Spear, muttering in defeat, "All over, damn this lousy plan. We're just waiting to be toyed to death by those idiots upstairs!"

Hu Xiaodong could hear Wang Qiang's words clearly, though he had no retort.

Honestly, if at first he was confident Tang Xiaoquan's idea was the right one, now, hearing the zombies' roars outside the hallway, seeing the iron door close to breaking down, he began doubting his initial decision.

Should he have gone upstairs to stop the young men's actions?

He didn't have to wait long for an answer, as a sudden delightful "roar" delivered it to him.

"Vroom vroom vroom!"

No sound could be sweeter, and Tang Xiaoquan was so excited he nearly cried!

Though he knew nothing about cars, though he didn't understand why revving the engine solved the stalling problem, the unmistakable sound of the engine starting was real.

They succeeded! They managed to buy time for the man, and the man successfully started the car.

Nothing felt better, but now was not yet the time for celebration. Only when all seven team members were safely and successfully seated in the car could the entire action plan be considered complete.

Seeing the Buick GL8 circling in the middle of the road and gradually vanishing at the street corner, as the vehicle's last outline disappeared, the second phase of the action concluded.

So...

Taking a final look at the zombies below, Tang Xiaoquan knew it was time to leave. He immediately waved to Ah Cheng, and the two grabbed their backpacks and gear, then jogged downwards to join Wei Yang and Wen Quanxin, also tasked with the mobile role.

Gathered together, the group neglected lamenting, for the zombies clustered outside the hallway constantly reminded them of danger nearby.

Next, there wasn't much else to do; all the survivors could do was wait and pray.

Hope the car encounters no problems en route!

Hope the man fulfills his promise!

Hope the iron door outside holds on a little longer!

Hope the evacuation goes smoothly!

Seven people, one mind, everyone remained quietly at the hallway entrance, clutching their weapons tightly, just waiting for that familiar engine sound to appear, then they'd rush out together...
