Capítulo 19: Chapter 17 : Searching For a Car
On the highway.
Brian was driving a car with bullet holes all over its body, driving quickly on the road. The rearview mirrors on the left and right sides had been completely smashed by the shooting just now. He could only stare at the central rear view of the car. He used the mirror to observe the situation behind the car.
Until he had driven a few hundred meters away, he did not see the figure of a military truck chasing behind him. Although he was very confused in his heart, his nervousness gradually relaxed, and he turned his head to face the figure hiding behind him, and said, "Get up; they didn't catch up."
Sarah's body trembled slightly. She stood up and looked around. When she saw that they were already on the highway, she patted her chest and let out a breath. What happened just now was like a police movie she had watched before. It was really too much for her to bear.
She was a little angry and looked at Brian, who was driving. She was about to scold him, but she found that his face and arms were covered with blood, and she suddenly screamed.
"Are you injured? Were you shot?"
"What?" Hearing Sarah's exclamation, Brian felt something abnormal in his body. After the tension dissipated, he felt a little weak all over his body. Severe pain hit his body. His whole body felt tired, and his condition seemed extremely bad.
The flying glass shards also left many wounds on his body, especially the burning pain coming from the right side of his face, which made him realize that a bullet had just grazed his cheek.
This discovery immediately made him feel frightened, and he realized that he had made an extremely reckless decision just because his brain was hot. If it weren't for his luck, he might have been killed by a bullet that was shot just now. One shot to the head.
"No, I wasn't shot. Let's drive forward first and treat the wounds when we get to a safe place."
Looking at the blood that continued to flow out of the wound, Sarah could only temporarily suppress the anger in her heart, take out a few packs of paper from her backpack, and wipe the wound on the other person's body.
Although the broken windshield blocked Brian's view, there was no other vehicle on the highway. He drove the car for half an hour before stopping due to Sarah's constant urging on the driveway.
"You are really crazy; you actually dare to do such a dangerous thing."
Carefully removing the remaining glass shards from Brian's wound, Sarah expressionlessly used a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the wounds on his face and hands. She waited until she looked at the pained and somewhat twisted face of the other person before speaking. She scolded somewhat softly.
Brian smiled bitterly, knowing that he was a little impulsive today. He looked at Sarah and whispered, "I was impulsive today. I was a little impatient. I'm sorry."
After hearing this, Sarah knew that the other party already knew that he was wrong, so she didn't say anything. She just picked up the bandage and carefully wrapped it around his arm a few times to bandage the wound.
She didn't know what kind of feelings she had for Brian. She didn't know when she started to rely more and more on Brian. She didn't want to see him get hurt in any way, so she was very impulsive when she saw him today, and when he almost killed himself, she felt very angry inside.
Seeing that his wounds had been treated, Brian stretched his muscles, looked at the car that was riddled with holes, and said to Sarah, who was packing tools next to him, "It seems we have to change cars. ."
"Huh? What is this?"
Arriving in front of the car, Brian suddenly discovered that there was a piece of plywood stuck under the windshield wiper, with several pieces of paper stuck on it. Since the windshield was smashed, he really didn't notice this thing while driving.
Taking off the splint, he opened it and found that it was an army record sheet, which read:
6:10
Depart from the southern camp and head to the northern blockade point.
7:03
Arrive at the northern blockade point and begin deploying blockade measures.
....
Apart from these two lines of records, there was no other content. It was obvious that this combat list had just started recording. After seeing the words "Perform Mission" at the bottom of the combat list, Brian's face changed slightly, and he knew his hunch was correct because it said, Seal all entrances and exits and eliminate infected areas indiscriminately!
Although it seemed a bit appalling, Brian had already guessed that this would be the outcome.
As they started to hit the road, he told Sarah what he had discovered and asked her to read the contents on the record sheet. Both of them were very sad, thinking about their respective feelings in their hearts, and the car suddenly fell into silence.
There are basically no tolls on highways in the United States, so if vehicles want to refuel, or they want to eat, or rest, they need to get off the highway.
After the car drove for another half an hour, Brian saw the service area exit sign in front, turned right without any hesitation, and drove off the highway from the exit.
There was a service area not far from the highway exit. It was basically the same as the ones he had seen in his previous life. They were all standard gas stations, restaurants, and convenience stores. Opposite the service area, there was also a car shop. Looking toward the end of the road from the hotel, they could even vaguely see the outline of the nearest town.
But at this moment, both the service area and the motel were in a mess, and it was obvious that they had suffered from the ravages of infection.
"come over and have a look."
Parking the car on the side of the road, Brian opened the door of the car and took all the pistols and iron rods. He had already given the dagger to Sarah. After all, she was not strong enough, so he still used a sharp weapon to point it out. The assault rifle had been depleted of bullets during the last clean-up of the infected and was reduced to a mere decoration.
The two did not choose the service area, which seemed to have a lot of supplies. Instead, they headed towards the motel across the road.
Their top priority now is to quickly find a car that can continue driving. There is not a single car in the parking lot of the service area, and their current need for food is not very urgent, so there are several cars parked across the road. Motels, of course, became their first choice.
But the two of them didn't notice that in the service area behind them, there were two figures hiding in the convenience store, watching their every move from the darkness.
"I didn't expect there was an RV here."
Scanning the cars in the parking lot, Brian found a huge white car parked in the innermost corner, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
They still have a journey ahead, which comes with their own beds and bathrooms. If they have this guy, the next journey should be much easier.
But after thinking about it, Brian shook his head and gave up the idea. This RV was too eye-catching and could easily cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, due to its size, it would travel at a very slow speed. It was limited, so after thinking about it, he gave up this option.
"The driver's doors are locked."
Next to her, seeing that there were no infected in the parking lot, Sarah boldly went inside, moved back and forth among the few remaining cars, and pulled the car door, only to find that all the doors were locked.
"There should be a key in the reception room there. Let's go in and look for it."
Seeing this, Brian looked around, pointed to a small house near the road, and took Sarah there.
The two walked slowly to the glass door of the reception room. Since the window was blocked by blinds, they could only listen to the movement inside through the glass door. After listening for a while, they did not hear the unique, strange sound of the infected people. Then he slowly pushed the door open and looked inside.
Completely different from the messy scene outside, the reception room looked exceptionally clean, as if someone was cleaning here frequently. Sarah was a little confused and said, "Why is it so clean in here?"
"I don't know; maybe it's because the door is closed."
But after Brian saw the situation inside, he immediately thought of something, winked at Sarah, answered her words, raised his pistol, and slowly approached the closed room inside.
After Sarah noticed the other party's abnormality, she immediately reacted. She also raised her pistol and said in cooperation, "Don't worry about this; let's find the car keys quickly."
While talking, Brian had already arrived outside the door of the room. When Sarah finished speaking,
He pushed open the door violently and rushed into the room.
But what surprised him was that the room was empty except for the messy sheets on the bed and a bunk under the bed.
"How's it going? Is there anyone inside?"
Sarah, who was standing on guard outside, saw that Brian had not moved for a long time, so she asked worriedly.
"No, there's no one inside."
Squatting down and putting his hand into the quilt, Brian could still feel a trace of residual warmth inside. He stood up and said, "Someone did live here, but it seems that they have left."
"Don't worry about that; let's find the car keys quickly."
Seeing that there was no threat inside, Sarah climbed directly into the reception counter and started to rummage through the cabinets. However, she couldn't find anything after searching for a long time, so she ran into the room and rummaged around. Finally, she found a small box on the bedside table. The car keys were found in the iron box.
"Look, the key is here."
