After Gu Tongwan finished speaking, Bai Lu's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and then a hint of astonishment. After all, the entire corridor was now full of zombies, so how could she get out even if she wanted to?

Gu Tongwan did not explain his thoughts immediately. Instead, he walked out to the balcony and looked into the distance. He could see traces of billowing black smoke not far away, so he guessed that there must be a fire over there.

"By the way, do you know where the monitoring room here is?" Gu Tongwan looked at the little girl. She actually knew Bai Lu's answer very well, but she still asked with the hope of giving it a try.

Bai Lu shook her head as she thought. After all, she was just a guest staying overnight and was not familiar with the structure of the hotel.

Gu Tongwan was not very disappointed, but it was a pity that he should have asked the two security guards he met on the sixth floor earlier. They must know where the monitoring room is.

In fact, what Gu Tongwan wanted to find was not the monitoring room, but the control room that manages the entire building. Generally speaking, this type of control room is connected to the monitoring room.

The power outage of one and a half days made Gu Tongwan guess that whether it was the power outage in the building or the signal blocking, it might not be caused by external factors, but most likely human factors. There must be something in this building that can affect the signal source.

Bai Lu slowly stood up on her knees with her hands, and said as if she had thought of something, "Oh, by the way, I complained to the front desk before because I disliked the poor signal here. The front desk replied that they would send someone to the underground first floor to check the relevant equipment. I wonder if the monitoring room is on the underground first floor?"

"It's likely, but we can't get out for now. But we can't be locked up here forever. We have to start thinking of a way."

"Sister Wanwan, if you can leave by yourself, please go first. I'm afraid I will hold you back." Bai Lu took a deep breath, then forced a bitter smile on her face and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.

However, the little girl's trembling lips and the fear in her eyes revealed her true thoughts at the moment.

She also wanted to leave this place, but she did not have the strength to do so, nor did she have the skills as Gu Tongwan. If she were to fight the zombies face to face, she would undoubtedly be giving the zombies a face. She might have a chance of survival if she stayed in the room.

Seeing Bai Lu's look, Gu Tongwan couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, I didn't say we can't get out, but this method requires you to cooperate with me. If it goes well, maybe we can get rid of all the zombies in the corridor."

"Ah? What do you mean?" The haze in Bai Lu's eyes gradually brightened up, but she still spoke in confusion.

Gu Tongwan smiled and pointed to the drone placed on the ground.

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then saw Gu Tongwan take out a palm-sized Bluetooth speaker from his pocket, then squatted down and began to wrap the Bluetooth speaker around the drone with transparent tape.

At this time, Bai Lu had no time to question why some people would carry a Bluetooth speaker with them when they go out.

Bai Lu hurried over and saw Gu Tongwan starting to fly a drone remotely in the room to test whether the Bluetooth speaker would fall off.

After flying in the room for a while, Gu Tongwan flew the drone out to the balcony. Only after he found that the speaker was still firmly fixed did he fly the drone back.

Bai Lu could probably guess her plan at this time, but she didn't expect that the drone would be handed over to her in the end.

"Sister Wanwan..." Bai Lu immediately showed a nervous look.

"Drones are easy to operate. You can try it first. You can practice in the room at first, and then try flying outside when you are a little more proficient."

Bai Lu had never flown a drone before, and she was quite unsure at first, but young people are quick to learn new things, and in less than half an hour she was able to control the drone to fly freely in the room. By noon, the drone could already fly on the balconies outside the eighth and ninth floors. Gu Tongwan even asked her to use the drone to check the situation in the neighborhood outside.

The flying range of her drone was limited to five kilometers, so the drone did not fly too far in the end. It just circled around two kilometers. The main reason was that she was worried that the battery was not enough. It would be terrible if it broke down on the way back.

In fact, Gu Tongwan didn't care. After all, she had at least several drones like this in her space. But now she was with Bai Lu, and the matters in her personal space could not be exposed for the time being, so she could only let Bai Lu continue to control the drone to fly back.

Judging from the images fed back by the drone, the scope of the zombie virus outbreak has spread to the area south of the inner circle, involving the business circle and part of the living area. The only lucky thing is that this area borders the Hunter Association and some large hunter guilds, so the zombies were eliminated quickly. There were only a few zombies wandering on the streets, but they were killed by the hunters who followed them before they appeared for a long time.

Some hunters even regard killing zombies as their latest pleasure, and their joyful laughter can even be heard on the streets.

The streets were littered with various zombie limbs and broken arms, and there was even a zombie with sunken eye sockets, an empty stomach with half of its intestines exposed, knocking aimlessly on the door of one of the communities.

Not long after, a figure rushed out from the community. That person should also be a psychic. He stabbed the zombie's head with the sharp knife in his hand. The zombie couldn't even make a sound and fell to the ground with his brains splattered.

Seeing this scene, Bai Lu covered her mouth and ran straight to the bathroom. When she came out after a while, her face was pale and there was a little red at the corners of her eyes. She was probably vomiting and crying in there. After all, this kind of bloody scene is too shocking for ordinary people, so it is normal that the little girl can't accept it.

Even Gu Tongwan, who had been wandering in the apocalypse for many years, couldn't help feeling physically uncomfortable after seeing the scene just now. At least he didn't want to eat canned meat at noon today.

Except for the relatively minor situation in the city's commercial center, the zombies in the high-end residential areas have also been almost completely eliminated by nearby Self-Defense Force members.

However, several farmers' markets with the heaviest flow of people and their surrounding areas have become the worst-hit areas after the virus outbreak. Several health centers have also been almost surrounded by zombies. Looking down from the air, you can even see the Self-Defense Forces shooting zombies.

But there were too many zombies over there, and the streets were densely packed with zombies. It was probably because too many people were infected, and the mutation speed was accelerated. In particular, some zombies could run as fast as athletes, and some could even jump onto the roof of a car and climb up to a two-story self-built building. In an instant, the glass windows were smashed open, and the zombies crawled in. After a while, helpless screams were heard from inside.

Seeing this scene, Gu Tongwan frowned. It seemed that the zombies had undergone a mutation. There were more zombies that were faster and more powerful, and some could even climb walls. This was not a good sign for the survivors.

If zombies are also divided into levels, then what level can the most powerful zombie reach? Are there zombies with abilities that surpass those of humans?

Too many questions flashed through Gu Tongwan's mind, so much so that she kept her eyes fixed on the images sent back by the drone.

Bai Lu next to her was also very nervous, because after the drone flew over a certain residential area, it did not fly high in the sky as before, but instead slowed down its speed, with the drone flying at a height of about three stories above the ground.

In fact, this community is where Bai Lu lives. She deliberately led the empty community into the area because she wanted to know whether the place where she lives is still safe.

After noticing Gu Tongwan's gaze, Bai Lu did not hide it, "Sister Wanwan, I'm sorry, I should have discussed it with you first."

"Be careful next time. After all, I don't like people disrupting plans. Although your community happens to be on the return flight route, if an accident occurs because of your last-minute decision, you can't bear the responsibility, and neither can I."

Bai Lu bit her lip and nodded vigorously: "I understand, I will remember it."

Gu Tongwan stopped talking and didn't intend to continue scolding. After all, she and Bai Lu were just casual acquaintances.

From the screen, we can see that there are several zombies wandering in the community where Bai Lu lives, but their movements are a little slower than those in the streets outside. This is probably because these zombies are all elderly people who did not have high mobility when they were alive, and even after becoming zombies, their mobility has not improved much.

However, even after knowing this, no one went out of their way to kill these zombies. Instead, every household closed their doors and windows tightly.

After Bai Lu confirmed the situation in the community, he quickly controlled the drone to fly back. About twenty minutes later, the drone landed steadily on the balcony. However, this scene still caught the eyes of Chen Xia, who was standing on the balcony on the ninth floor.

"Drone?" Chen Xia thought he had seen it wrong, but when he looked again, he saw that it was indeed a drone that entered one of the balconies on the left.

Chen Xia turned around and immediately woke up Tan Xin, who was catching up on sleep after being on duty the night before.

"What's wrong? Are there zombies coming in?" Tan Xin said this, but she didn't come to her senses immediately. Perhaps she had gone from being afraid of zombies to being numb.

Chen Xia handed a glass of water to the sleepy Tan Xin, then pointed in the direction of the balcony and said, "I mean someone is using a drone to observe nearby."

At this time, Tan Xin, who had come to her senses a little, immediately pushed Chen Xia away and got down from the bed. She walked to the balcony in a few big steps and observed the situation around her.

However, when Tan Xin looked over, the drone had already been taken back by Bai Lu.

"It's the residents of the house to the left. It shouldn't be the mother and daughter, but someone else. They have a drone in their hands." Chen Xia also walked to the balcony at this time, his eyes fixed on the balcony of the guest room where Bai Lu was.

Tan Xin clenched his fists at both sides, and then said to Chen Xia beside him: "The people over there are probably trying to find a way out, so they released the drone in advance."

Chen Xia nodded in agreement, but at the same time felt a little regretful: "If only we had noticed it earlier, the drone would have been able to detect our situation."

Tan Xin knew what Chen Xia was thinking, and smiled lightly and joked, "Even if they noticed you, they can't come to save us. I've observed the situation around here. In addition to the square on the left, the living area is at least two streets away on the right. That is to say, the hotel considered this when choosing the location, hoping to choose a quiet place with few people. So even if the zombie virus broke out, there are only a few zombies near the hotel these two days. Our hotel is the gathering place for zombies. Compared to the outside, once a small-scale zombie tide breaks out inside the hotel, I'm afraid the door of the guest room will be knocked open sooner or later."

"Then what should we do? Our food can last for about another week, but after a week..." Chen Xia did not continue his words, because they both knew very well that if it really came to that time, they would either starve to death or take the risk to go out. However, there was also the possibility that the zombies would break down the door in advance and bite them all to death.

When Chen Xia thought of all the possibilities, he felt that his hope of survival was slim, and his mood suddenly dropped.

"Don't worry, there is always a way out. It's too early for you to give up now."

Tan Xin smiled, then turned back to the room and saw him tearing apart several cardboard boxes containing supplies. Not only cardboard boxes, he even made simple sandbags with cloth strips, wrapped with plastic sheets cut from plastic bottles, stacked up thickly layer by layer, making it bulging, doesn't it look like a sandbag.

Chen Xia was a smart man. As soon as he saw Tan Xin's actions, he knew what he was going to do next. So he stopped complaining and sat down cross-legged. He also started to tear the bath towel and wrap it around various cardboards like Tan Xin did.

Both of them knew very well that if the hotel had not received rescue by the fourth or fifth day, they would have no choice but to fight for their lives.

On the other side, Meimei and Ye Mei's conditions were equally serious. Meimei suddenly developed a high fever in the second half of last night.

Meimei probably said that she was exhausted because she had been in a tense state for the past two days and had too many things on her mind, but fortunately her parents were with her this time, and especially when she was on night watch, Ye Mei no longer had to be alone. Instead, Zhou Jun was sent to the living room to sleep next to the sofa, so that if there was any movement outside, Zhou Jun could deal with it immediately.

Inside the house, Ye Mei was wiping Meimei's back and forehead with hospital alcohol. After wiping it about five or six times, Meimei's fever went from high to low.

Meimei woke up once in the middle of the night and found her mother sitting next to her, holding her hand. There seemed to be another wrinkle under her eyes. She felt a little guilty. She didn't expect that she was so useless and was getting sick at this time and dragging everyone down.

However, Meimei's depressed mood did not last long, because in the night she seemed to see something flashing approaching from the balcony.

Originally, Meimei thought it was her illusion, but as she heard a slight vibration in the air, she realized that it was actually a drone!
