Bab 41: Chapter 38 : The Church
Not far from Wascom, where the team was located, was a small town called Greenwood.
This small town is close to Shreveport, but what is different from other small towns is that there are countless infected people in the town at this moment. At a glance, the terrifying number was shocking.
In a church in the center of the town, a dozen men and women with haggard faces walked or sat on the benches, staring blankly ahead with despair written all over their faces.
Food crumbs were scattered around them, and a few iron pipes placed in the corner were filled with human excrement. Even if something was covering them, they could not hide the stench emanating from them.
In another corner, far away from these people, there is a pair of father and daughter who are in a completely different state from those people. The father is in his forties, a strong man with a rough face and a body covered with strong muscles. He was observing the outside world through the window slit, his eyes full of faith.
The daughter was seventeen or eighteen years old, with brown hair and a pretty face. She was holding a shotgun and was paying close attention to the dozen or so decadent men and women opposite her.
This group of people are all survivors trapped in this church. Judging from the piles of food on the ground, it is roughly estimated that they have been trapped here for at least a month.
At this moment, a man with tattoos all over his body and a cockscomb head appeared. He sat up from the bench and glanced around aimlessly. When he looked at the father and daughter in the corner, a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said sarcastically to the strong man:
"Wilfred, you've been watching for more than a month; haven't you given up yet? There are more and more infections outside. We can't go out, and no one will come to save us. I advise you that it would be better to give up early and enjoy it as much as we can."
After saying this, he looked at the pretty girl sitting on the ground, his eyes full of desire, and said with a bad smile, "Your daughter is still a baby; why not enjoy it before she leaves this world?" The pleasure of being a woman...ah! Damn, it!"
But before he could finish his words, the pretty girl he was staring at stood up directly, put down the shotgun in her hand, picked up a slingshot on the ground, and shot a stone at the cockscomb-headed man.
The cockscomb-headed man had noticed the girl's movements a long time ago, but the depression he had suffered for many days made him unable to avoid the stone. He could only watch the stone helplessly as it hit his face, causing him to utter a cry of pain. There was a scream.
"Only a waste like you would be willing to wait here to die. Do you think I am one of you?" Wilfred retracted his gaze from the window, turned around, and looked at the cock-combed man coldly and disdainfully.
"And Ogden, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to my daughter again, I will cut out your tongue."
Then he said to the girl next to him, who also had a frosty face, "Anna, help me keep an eye on it."
"Okay, Father."
Anna nodded, gave an "international gesture" to the cock-combed man Ogden, then took over her father's position and stared at the window outside with all her concentration.
"You... you!" Ogden covered his already blue face and pointed at the father and daughter in front of him, who didn't take him seriously at all. He was speechless for a long time. If it weren't for the other party's hand, Gun, he would have already given this opponent a severe lesson.
No matter how resentful he was in his heart, it was of no use. He could only glare at the father and daughter with resentful eyes, and then he pulled up a middle-aged woman lying on the ground with half-dressed clothes and pulled her aside.
Not long after, Ogden's shouts of relief and the middle-aged woman's painful moans came from the prayer room.
Wilfred didn't pay attention to the situation over there at all. He sat down in Anna's position just now, leaned against the wall behind him, slowly closed his eyes, and thought about ways to escape.
He and his daughter Anna were not residents of this town; they were just trapped in it during the Cordyceps fungus outbreak.
It turns out that a hundred-man army came to the town and was going to let them drive their cars to escort everyone in the town to the isolation zone built in Shreveport.
But just when they were about to leave, countless infected monsters suddenly rushed out from nowhere. This was also the first time he saw those monsters. They rushed into the town and slaughtered people on the streets wantonly. Even now, he could recall the horror and despair on the faces of those who fled.
The escorting soldiers tried to deal with these infected people, but the bullets in their rifles could not withstand the offensive of the infected people at all, and they eventually died at the hands of the infected people. Only a few saw that the situation was not good and escaped in advance (the soldiers on the truck). The soldiers were able to escape.
The residents of the town fled back to their homes one after another. He, his daughter, and the dozen or so people who worked together were lucky enough to escape into the church in the center of the town and thus escape the infected people behind him. attack.
Although most of the residents fled back to their homes, the infected people broke indirectly through the windows and rushed into their homes.
Only those who sealed their doors and windows in advance were able to escape, but at that time the streets of the town were full of infected people, and they could not escape from here.
After one night, those residents who escaped home and were bitten became infected at home. Because there was no relevant popular science, their relatives and friends were unprepared, and they were also bitten and became infected.
Wilfred even saw it from the window. A young boy opened the door of his house in a panic and ran out onto the street, trying to avoid the pursuit of infected people behind him. He completely forgot that there were more infected people on the street and ended up being flooded.
Even if there are no people in the family who have been bitten, what they have to face is an even more cruel food crisis.
As food becomes less and less, some people try to venture out to find food, but the infection outside will give them no chance. Most people will not be able to go far at all and will die at the hands of the infected.
But the time they were trapped became longer and longer, and the food became less and less. In the end, in the face of death and hunger, everyone released their old moral shackles, and they began to fight for the remaining food, facing off against those who tried to snatch it. relatives fight each other with fists and kicks.
They are even driven crazy by hunger, and they will look at the body of their loved one and completely turn into a demon.
In just one month, most of the residents in the town either went out to search for food, were bitten at home and became infected, or were brutally killed by their relatives and friends and became what they call food.
There is no need to ask Wilfred how he did it. All he knows is that, after his observation for more than a month, he has a panoramic view of what happened outside.
If they hadn't been responsible for packing the food before going out, and everyone had brought a lot of food with them when they fled into the church, maybe they would have turned into the devils outside or been infected...
It's just that their current situation is not much better. The food is gradually being eaten up, but the infection outside has no intention of leaving.
The dozen or so men and women who fled into the church with them gradually began to sink after seeing that there was no hope of escape. They no longer thought about how to escape and indulged themselves without any scruples, enjoying the last moments before death. The madness!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
While Wilfred was closing his eyes to recuperate, a faint explosion suddenly came from outside the church, which made him open his eyes and quickly stand up and ask, "What's going on outside?"
Anna was not very clear about the situation outside and said with some uncertainty, "Okay, it seems like the sound of an explosion came from the west, but it seems to be quite far away from us."
"Who is that place to the west?" Upon hearing this, Wilfred quickly turned around and shouted to the dozen or so people who were decadent over there. They were not from the small town and didn't know very well where that place was.
The dozen or so people also heard the explosion outside and stood up from the ground one after another. One of the black youths said, "To the west is Wascom Town, not far from us, only 10 minutes."
"Has someone come to save us?" Another blond woman also stood up and spoke excitedly. Her originally desperate heart also aroused the belief in seeking help.
Even Ogden, who was having sex with a woman in the prayer room, ran out of the prayer room without even putting on his pants. His expression was also extremely excited.
ah--!
While they were talking, the infected people in the town were also attracted by the explosion coming from the west, and they all looked over there.
Although there was a sound from the other side just now, they did not see any trace of the prey, so they just stood there without any thought of moving.
But the explosions that followed, one after another, completely attracted their attention. They roared, and the infected army began to move slowly along the road and towards the west.
"Haha..." Wilfred looked at the scene outside the window and couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart.
He said excitedly, "The infected are starting to move. We can leave even without rescue!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present cheered up and danced, as if they had gained something new.
But no one paid attention. After the initial ecstasy, the cockscomb-headed man's eyes gradually drifted towards Anna, who was silent by the window. He unconsciously licked his dry lips and revealed a Weird smile...
