"Be careful, come one by one, don't be afraid!"
In a certain window at the other end of the apartment building, the soldiers slid survivors down the ropes made of curtains from the windows dozens of meters high.
The survivors with ropes tied to their bodies closed their eyes tightly and clung to the curtains in their hands. They felt like their bodies were falling down little by little, and they were scared to death.
Brian cleared the snow from the rocks, climbed onto it, and watched one survivor after another safely and quietly take out food from their backpacks, and stuff it into his mouth when no one was paying attention to him. , replenishing the energy consumed by the body.
After an hour of arduous bending forward, the team finally reached the highest point of the apartment building and saw the scenery outside. However, because it was too high, they had to go up and down again.
Suddenly, Brian thought of the bullets fired from the pit, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. After coming out of the crossing, he told Tracy his doubts. It was obvious that the other party did not want to commit any more crimes. So he proposed to block all the intersections and thoroughfares they passed through, so that even if the people inside escaped the trap, they would not be able to follow them, and it would not have any impact on the rest of their journey.
Although Tracy didn't quite agree with doing this at first, after Brian's "unintentional" reminder, she remembered the scene where the soldier shot. After a moment of silence, she nodded in agreement. this matter.
"Ahem!"
Just when Brian was thinking about something, Sarah beside him coughed violently because she was eating too quickly, pulling him away from his thoughts.
"Slow down, don't be anxious!" Taking out the kettle from his backpack, Brian gently patted Sarah's back to calm her down, and then handed the kettle in his hand over.
Then he saw Wilfred standing not far away. Looking at the sweat on his face, his slightly trembling body, and the blood-red eyes that were about to bulge out of his sockets, he couldn't help but feel slightly worried. stand up.
If he hadn't been in the apartment building, where he was always hunched over and his head was lowered all the way, he might have been exposed a long time ago.
Seeing Sarah slowly drinking the water, Brian stood up and walked to Wilfred's side. He looked at the safe area in front of him and said with concern: "This is the last section of the road. , can you still hold on?"
"Don't worry, there is only a little way left, I won't give up at this time!" Wilfred looked at the ruined street in front of him with not many infected people, and felt greatly relieved. As long as he could cross this street Hey, with the protection of the soldiers in the safe zone, his daughter is completely safe.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, and said in an almost inhuman voice: "I'm thinking about how to exit now."
As he said that, Wilfred put his hand into his clothes and wanted to take out the grenade. Now there was not much distance left from the safe zone. It was a waste for him to hold this thing, so he planned to take out the grenade. Return to Brian.
Seeing Wilfred's actions, Brian immediately understood what the other person was thinking, held down the other person's arm, and said, "If you don't give it back to me, your finger can no longer pull the trigger." Come on, I think you don't want to become those things, so you should keep this thing to yourself. "
"You really know everything!"
After listening to Brian's words, Wilfred stretched out his palm. The fingers had become very stiff. Only with his encouragement and control could they bend slightly.
Looking at his stiff fingers, he thought for a while, then put the grenade down and said, "In that case, thank you."
"It's okay. Anyway, if I enter the quarantine area, I probably won't be able to keep these things on me." Then Brian turned his head, glanced at Ana who was sitting behind him, and said, "I need to tell you about this matter... Her?"
"..."
"No."
After a long silence, Wilfred took out a letter from his pocket with two fingers, handed it to Brian, and said: "Wait for me... Just give this to him for me." "
Looking at the letter that was handed over, Brian sighed softly, took the letter, folded it and put it in his pocket, and said, "Well, leave it to me."
After standing and chatting for a while, the two of them entered the team. At this time, everyone had landed safely. They looked at the distance that was not far away, and their faces were full of impatient feelings.
Without Tracy going to give orders, they gathered spontaneously and wanted to set off as soon as possible.
Seeing that the team's enthusiasm was so high, Tracy didn't say much. She just waved her hand and led the team off again.
As they got closer and closer to the safe zone, everyone felt more and more relaxed, and their tense faces gradually relaxed, and they began to chat with people they were familiar with or unfamiliar with.
Wilfred was wearing a hood, still hanging his head, following Anna closely, his eyes half-closed, as if he wanted to spend the last little time with his daughter.
"Look, we're here!"
I don't know how long it took, but after the team climbed a slope, a man at the front saw the isolation fence one kilometer ahead and shouted excitedly to the crowd behind him.
"Oh ho!"
"Very good!"
The entire team suddenly became excited, and the crowd hugged each other excitedly. The dangerous journey from Dallas to Atlanta was like a dream to them.
Seeing that there were no infected people around, they could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts and began to celebrate on the spot.
Brian stood aside, looking at the crowd celebrating before they even reached the finish line. He couldn't help complaining in his heart. He didn't know why these people were so anxious. As the saying goes, great joy can lead to sorrow. If this were in a movie, what would happen next? definitely will....
"boom!"
But just when Brian thought about this, there was a sudden explosion behind him, followed by countless hurried footsteps, the sound of rifle shots and the panicked screams of the crowd.
The excited crowd suddenly seemed to be stuck. They all froze on the ground, turning their heads in disbelief and looking towards the place where the explosion sound came from.
About 100 meters away, nearly a hundred people suddenly ran out from behind a house that had been destroyed and turned into rubble. They included survivors wearing civilian clothes, as well as heavily armed soldiers. They seemed to be from a convoy. Another group of teams.
The survivors ran desperately in their direction with panic on their faces, while the soldiers ran back with their rifles and fired, throwing a few grenades behind them from time to time, making loud explosions.
"Hoar--!"
Just after the team ran out for a while, what followed closely behind them was the roar of the infected. After a while, countless infected ran out from behind the house, following closely. Behind that team.
"Fuck!"
"Fuck, run!"
"..."
Seeing this situation, everyone standing on the ground suddenly became stunned. Their originally excited expressions instantly changed, and the crowd immediately became chaotic. No one listened to the command anymore, and they all turned around in panic. Escape in the direction of the safe zone.
"Holy shit, are you so unlucky!" Seeing this situation, Brian secretly cursed himself for being such a cuckold. He grabbed Sarah and Allen and started running away with the crowd.
On the contrary, Wilfred did not show any fear after seeing the group of infected people. Instead, he told Anna and Lucy to run quickly, while he quickly walked behind Brian and said: "You The backpack zipper is loose, please zip it up."
After hearing this, Brian, who was running, immediately slowed down steadily. After Wilfred said it, he started running forward again. I don't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his backpack seemed to become lighter. Quite a few.
Putting his hands vaguely on his waist, Wilfred glanced at Brian's back, turned around and followed Anna and Lucy unhurriedly, turning around from time to time to check the movements of the infected behind him. .
"ah--!"
The sound of pain mixed with fear rang out. A soldier was thrown to the ground by the infected people who were chasing him. He just let out a scream, and then countless infected people swarmed up and drowned him in the tide of corpses. The screams stopped immediately.
As the infected got closer and closer, the soldiers no longer dared to turn around and shoot. They ran forward with all their strength. In a short time, they overtook the survivors who were running in front of them.
It is impossible for the survivors to be inferior to the infected who can run endlessly. Human physical strength is limited. In addition to the long journey of several hours, except for a few who have replenished food, most of the survivors After overcoming the potential inspired by fear, he became increasingly unable to lift his feet and his running speed became slower and slower.
Except for dozens of adult men, most of the women, the elderly, and children were left behind, and the infected were knocked down one after another.
The ugliness of human nature is once again vividly reflected here. Some survivors who saw themselves lagging behind suddenly showed their fierce looks. Some of them pulled the collars of the people in front of them and made them fall to the ground. There were also some who ran in front. When the survivor saw the infected person behind him getting closer and closer, he deliberately tripped the person next to him and made the other person fall to the ground. He also tripped the person behind him, giving himself more time to escape.
But even if they use many methods, the infected group is getting closer and closer to them, and death is inevitable.
"boom!"
But at this moment, there was a sudden roar in the safety zone ahead, and then a cannonball flew out, hitting the group of infected people hard, and flying away some of the infected people who were chasing behind the survivors.
