章節 273: An Enemy
While Gregory was busy betraying those who were his allies and fellow group members, George and his group had left the Hilltop grounds and were headed straight for the Kingdom.
In the military truck.
George was busy with the radio in his hand, trying to contact Airon, while the others were analyzing the current situation.
The process of contact was not delayed, And Airon was back at this time. After more than three months of scouting and searching, he finally discovered the Commonwealth outpost without them discovering it. And as far as he knew, only a few people would be sent there safely.
On the way back, he was in a good mood when he suddenly received a message from George, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew very well that the Saviors had finally arrived, although it was later than expected, they still made it to Washington.
However, due to the signal problem, he only had a general idea of the situation. What made him a little relieved was that the Alexandria community seemed to be uninvolved for the moment, so Merle sped up his journey and gradually lost himself in thought.
Would there be complications or would everything go smoothly since he knows so much about the future?
...
The modified RV, a truck and two Humvees with machine guns were heading for the Kingdom at an extremely fast speed. The walkers scattered along the road were thrown straight through the air in the direction of the impact angles, and their mangled bodies lay on the road, staining the ground with dark blood.
The shredded pieces of flesh and dirty blood pierced the iron bars of the front windshield and splattered the glass, turning the landscape in front of him blood red.
Merle, who was driving this time, quietly fiddled with the windshield wipers to clean up the blood. At that moment, they were not far from the Kingdom.
"Zz... Kingdom resident team, respond."
"Zz..."
A man looked at Airon and shook his head, indicating that they were not responding. Although there were only twelve soldiers currently in the Kingdom, they were skilled soldiers and even if they were outnumbered they could at least hold out until they arrived.
...
Jesus, who was in a truck even closer than Airon's group, was the most concerned at the moment, watching carefully for any slightest detail on the road.
And just after the convoy turned a corner, suddenly a path opened up and everyone pointed to the sky. "Look at that!"
George's group climbed down from the truck and gathered around the Kingdom, and piles of black smoke could be seen billowing into the sky not far from their position.
Anger welled up in Jesus' eyes, and he said through gritted teeth, "We're too late, those people already attacked the Kingdom."
The trucks following George had stopped in front of the Kingdom gates. The door that had always been locked before was now broken into a thousand pieces. When everyone went inside, they could see dozens of corpses of unknown people, and many could see that the houses had been set on fire.
Large caliber bullets had left marks on the ground, apparently at least more than fifty enemies had been killed. But apparently this all ended due to a special incident, it was to be known that a squad of Airon soldiers was protecting this place so something important had to happen for them to surrender.
"They couldn't do anything..."
Two corpses lay in the middle of the compound, they were all wearing standard combat uniforms, and everyone present knew them, they were the two Kingdom guards, Daniel and Kevin.
They had all been shot more than once, and the ground around them was stained with blood, the people who killed them had no intention of stopping their transformation from corpses, and they had no head wounds.
Michonne approached the two of them and drew her samurai sword with a heavy heart.
"They're both good people, and Kevin helped me once. Before the end of the world, Kevin was a farmer and Daniel was a teacher. may there be no pain in heaven!"
Poof! blow!
There were two sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh, and Michonne's sword retracted into its sheath.
Everyone behind them was also a little sad, regardless of whether they were familiar with the two of them or not, they all felt sorry for what happened to their hearts.
Michonne's eyes suddenly froze and she asked in a panicked tone, "George, you said on the way that Hilltop was the first community they discovered?"
"Yes, but that doesn't seem to be the case now, they should have already passed through the Kingdom before they arrived at Hilltop.... They already knew of the existence of other communities."
"No way! Let's go back to Alexandria!"
...
In the western suburbs of central Washington, a convoy was driving fast on the highway, and it was Merle who was driving it. After the news, the group that originally planned to return to Alexandria tomorrow did not rest and drove all the way without stopping.
"Airon, this group that appeared don't appear to be common like the others, do you think the soldiers we left are enough to defend the Kingdom?"
"They at least should have died in battle, I highly doubt they would surrender knowing they could be killed. But we have to go back as soon as possible and find out what exactly happened. If the enemy this time is too powerful, we don't need to fight them directly. If it doesn't work we can return directly to our safe zone. We no longer have tanks in Alexandria and the few Humvees we have left are in service, we won't fight a territory that has brought us nothing."
Daryl who was sitting behind them was cleaning his crossbow and said with some desire, "They killed our men? Probably a few scoundrels, but more likely a lot of them."
Merle said, "Hey, don't you think that group adopts much to my tastes?"
"This is very strange..." Airon, who was sitting to the side, muttered under his breath still thinking.
Alicia was off to the side, she was about to embark on a mission to the Commonwealth, so during this time they spent it together and also had to listen to Daryl's jokes about their rigid relationship.
"That's the direction that leads us to the Kingdom?" Merle spoke to himself in a slow, leisurely voice, then pointed out in surprise, "Look bro, could it be that the idiot King was eliminated?"
Daryl narrowed his eyes for a while, he said,. "Maybe it's just a fire somewhere..."
Airon was also a bit puzzled, it stands to reason that even if they attacked Kingdom there was a protocol, if the enemy wasn't hostile in the sense of harming Kingdom civilians, none would attack until they had complete control of the situation.
"Drive faster."
"Okay!"
...
Back to Rick's group.
A group of six people reached the nearest town on foot. By this time, the sky was already darkening, and the walkers around seemed to sense night coming. The group formed a defensive circle, all protecting themselves.
Elen also grabbed a weapon. She is an optimistic girl who sees things very openly. Even though she had just lost someone special this morning, the people still left by her side needed her help. Seeing Rick and the others doing their best to protect the weakest, she also intends to contribute.
Searching along the street to the end, most of the stores on both sides are open, and it's already dark, so I can't be sure of the situation inside.
Rick intends to find a house that is still in good condition, so he can only move forward, hoping to find a residential area in town as soon as possible.
Walking down a street again, the few people finally found a residential area. The houses on both sides were all small two-story wooden buildings. They quickly cleared the walkers on the street and ran to the door of a residential building. .
"Damn it, it's locked!"
"Can you open it?"
"Forget it, let's go to the opposite side."
After searching, they finally found a house with an open door.
"Morgan, you and Guillermo are in charge of the second floor, Elen and I will go up to the second floor while you are to protect Katia and wait at the door." Rick whispered a few words and led Elen upstairs, as soon as they got up to the second floor, there were four rooms visible to the naked eye, which should be three bedrooms plus a bathroom, and two people started checking the rooms immediately.
Soon some people were regrouping on the second floor, but Rick frowned a little.
Looking at Rick's expression, Morgan off to the side noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong?"
Looking around again, Rick shook his head.
"I can't tell, but I think it's something strange..." Elen didn't see anything, but she believed Rick's sense so she asked, "So, shall we try somewhere else?"
Looking at the sky outside the window, Rick still shook his head. "Forget it, it's too late and it's easy to be in danger."
The last people still chose two rooms on the second floor to sleep in. In the middle of the night, Rick always felt uncomfortable lying in bed, so he got up quietly, and Morgan at the window signaled and left the room.
The corridor was very dark, but Rick's eyes had already adjusted. He walked through the second floor slowly, went to the second floor when he checked a moment ago, and checked the rooms he had not personally.
He slowly walked through the living room, the kitchen and came to a corridor at the back, took out the machete and slowly entered.
Just after he entered the first room, suddenly a hole opened up in a wall under the stairs on the second floor, and a figure appeared from inside.
