Chapitre 42: Chapter 39
Wascom town
It's 1:00 in the morning.
"Ah~"
In the security zone on the eastern edge of the town, a young soldier stood on the sentry post, shaking his head a little tiredly. He kept moving the searchlight in his hand, looking for the dark road outside the town.
"Hiss... Damn it, that guy dared to trick me into helping him guard the sentry." Mars felt the cold wind pouring in from both sides of the sentry, let go of the searchlight in his hand, and wrapped his arms around He rubbed his shoulders vigorously up and down to give himself a little more warmth.
He is a recruit who has just joined the army for less than half a year. Originally, his duty tonight was to patrol the town, but he did not expect that a "senior" who was older than him would notify him that his duty had been changed. The guard stood on the outpost ahead.
In the beginning, Mars didn't think much about it. After all, this kind of thing happens from time to time. But what he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the guard post, he found that the soldiers standing guard with him were looking at him in surprise.
After asking, he found out that there was no such thing as changing the mission. He was deceived by the "senior," who didn't want to be cold, but he was already here, and he couldn't just turn around and leave, he had no choice but to temporarily replace the other party and take the post tonight.
Feeling his body trembling more and more, Mars clenched his fists tightly, planning to find an explanation from the other party after tonight!
Glancing at the dark road, he felt that nothing would happen tonight. If there were anyone or infected people nearby, they would have been attracted by the explosion when they first entered the town.
Anyway, nothing will happen... I'll take a little rest...
Thinking of this, Mars unconsciously let go of the searchlight in his hand, squatted down slightly, and leaned against the corner. He put his hands together near his mouth, letting the hot breath from his mouth warm his frozen hands. Plan to be lazy for a little while.
"Zi...Zi..." Not long after he curled up in the corner and felt a lot warmer, a burst of noise suddenly came from the intercom on the table next to him, and then a rough voice came from it. "Mars, where did you run away? Why can't I see you?"
"I'm here!" Hearing the voice on the walkie-talkie, Mars secretly cursed himself for forgetting that there was someone on the other side. He quickly picked up the walkie-talkie, stood up, and waved to the other sentry opposite him, indicating that he was there.
Seeing Mars' figure, the figure on the sentry's opposite side also waved to him and said, "What happened just now? I couldn't see your figure, so I thought something was wrong with you."
"Ah, it's nothing. Something just fell off. I've been looking for it for a long time." Hearing the other party's inquiry, Mars felt nervous and found an excuse to explain it away. He didn't dare to let the other party know that he was lazying around.
When they saw that Mars was indeed fine and saw his trembling body, the person opposite continued to say, "Forget it; I think your small body can't bear it, so I'll find Kumar to replace you. I will handle this matter quietly. You can keep an eye on me for a while, and I will be back in half an hour."
"That's great; thank you so much!" Hearing that the other party asked the person to come over, Mars felt a burst of joy so that he wouldn't have to freeze here.
Watching the other party disappear at the sentry post, he stood there, pretending to be there for a few minutes. After confirming that there was no one there, he couldn't wait to shrink back to the corner, resting his head against the wall with peace of mind, intending to take a nap.
Mars warned himself that he could only rest for twenty minutes, but as soon as he closed his eyes, sleepiness couldn't stop coming, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
I don't know how much time passed, but the strange sound coming from his ears suddenly woke him up. He stood up suddenly and patted his head hard. He thought he was confused, and he quickly raised his watch to confirm the time.
"Phew, it's so dangerous."
Looking at the time on his watch, only twenty minutes had passed. Mars took a deep breath and secretly exclaimed that it was really dangerous.
He slept to death just now. If someone caught him being lazy here, he would be scared just thinking about the consequences.
"Fortunately, the wind woke me up."
Listening to the cold wind outside, Mars thought the strange noise just now was the sound of wind. He stood up and planned to move his body to refresh himself before returning to his post.
But just when he stood up, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly stood there dumbly, with a look of horror on his face.
He saw, not far away, with no end as far as the eye could see, a mass of black shadows surging towards the town. The searchlights on the sentry posts shone directly on these black shadows, illuminating the hideous figures. The face—this is an infected person!
....
At this moment, the town no longer has the hustle and bustle of the convoy. After finishing all the things, the residents went to the supply station to receive food and a bowl of steaming soup.
After drinking the hot soup, everyone just felt a warm current passing through their limbs, and most of the chill in their bodies disappeared in an instant. Most of them felt tired, and after stretching, they headed toward the newly assigned residential areas.
Only the soldiers responsible for guarding were left on the streets, and they patrolled the surrounding streets in groups of three.
Originally, according to regulations, all people needed to rest on the bus after everything was dealt with because they were afraid that in the event of an emergency, there would be too many people to evacuate effectively.
However, due to the size of the town, there are many large villas, and considering that the weather is cold at night and the temperature is low, it would be a bit difficult for everyone to sleep on the bus, and the surrounding area is indeed safe. There is no danger, so just let everyone live in the house to avoid physical problems.
In a certain house on the west side of the town center, the flames burning in the fireplace in the living room slightly illuminated the dim living room. All the tables, chairs, and benches in the spacious living room were moved to the corner. Dozens of residents were lying on the floor. Get as close to the fireplace as possible and feel the warmth coming from inside.
Brian was half-leaning on the wall not far from the fireplace, half-squinting his eyes, and gently patting Sarah, who was sleeping beside him. Listening to the whistling wind, he still hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Maybe it was because he slept for too long in the morning, so even though it was already night, he didn't feel sleepy at all. In addition, the backpack beside him couldn't be left unattended, so he simply stopped sleeping and half-leaned against the wall. He fell asleep, but his attention was always on alert to all the movements happening outside.
He was not the only one. Everyone was worried that someone would have some bad intentions while they were sleeping, so acquaintances formed a team automatically with a tacit understanding, and each person took turns keeping vigil for some time to maintain sufficient energy.
As for those who didn't know anyone well, they could only be like Brian, holding on to his backpack and half leaning against the wall while sleeping lightly. They would be awakened from their sleep if there was any disturbance around them.
Just when Brian was thinking about things in his mind, the sound of getting up suddenly came to his ears, which made him immediately open his eyes and raise his head to look in the direction of the sound.
He saw a figure slowly getting up from the ground. He looked around and saw that no one seemed to notice him, so he bent down and picked up the backpack on the ground, hiding in the shadow, and moved awkwardly towards the door with his feet shaking. He walked in the same direction, fearing that others would recognize him.
Seeing this, Brian raised his eyebrows and recognized the other person's identity at a glance, because the people in this house were all on the same bus, plus the other person's trembling legs and eye-catching hair. His hair, um, is that of the young man who was punished during the day. It sounds like he is called Kim by others.
Kim didn't know that just when he stood up, everyone in the room was awakened by his movements and recognized him immediately.
At this moment, he was walking excitedly towards the gate. Not long ago, he and a dozen other victims who were also punished got together and agreed to leave tonight because one of them was very familiar with this. Regarding the environment in this area, he knows that there is a hidden town not far away where a large amount of food is stored.
Instead of continuing to stay here and being treated as cannon fodder sooner or later, it is better to leave here as soon as possible. As long as he can avoid getting infected, he can still live a very nourishing life.
But he couldn't bear to leave in despair, so he decided to destroy some vehicles before leaving to take revenge on those who punished him and betrayed him.
Considering that there were handles outside all the houses and there would be soldiers patrolling the streets, he just decided on the location of the meeting point. As for whether he could leave and get there, he could only rely on his abilities.
Originally, Kim planned to climb out of the bathroom window, but he didn't expect that just when he was about to take action, he found the damn woman standing at the door. In surprise, he quickly got up and walked toward her. He walked past the door.
"Very good!"
He leaned lightly against the door and carefully opened a gap. The cold wind blew on him along the gap. His already trembling feet were shaking even more violently, but then he found that there was no one at the door. His spirits suddenly lifted, and he opened the door and ran out without hesitation.
"Woo buzz—!"
Just as Kim was running slowly in the snow, with an uncontrollable smile of joy on his face, a rapid and piercing siren suddenly sounded over the town, freezing his expression for a moment.
