Chapter 299
Bang!
A zombie was hit by the corner of a speeding car and accidentally crashed into the front side of the car. A pool of dirty blood instantly dyed the glass red.
Norton, who was driving, sniffed and smelled a faint stench. He felt unhappy as he had just finished his meal.
"Fuck, my good mood this morning has been ruined."
"Do you also have bad moods sometimes?"
A few people were arguing as the car arrived at Oak Mountain State Park, located southeast of the city.
This can be said to be a popular park around Birmingham. It has a beautiful environment and is very suitable for outings.
However, with the coming of the end of the world, this place lacks management, and now it has become a place overgrown with weeds like a wild forest. However, some of the buildings are still intact. In addition, there were originally two large lakes in the park, so the water problem can be solved. If you ignore the harassment of the zombies, then this is definitely a very good place to live.
"Are there any survivors here? What if there is a tide of zombies?"
Rick felt uncomfortable when he thought of the experience of that large zombie tide. He couldn't imagine that if they had lost the protection of the city walls and only relied on the small fences in front of the prison, they would have surely fallen.
"Maybe there hasn't been a zombie tide here yet."
Lu Jiayi stood at the front of the car muttering to himself, his eyes fixed on the lake in the distance. At a wooden house on the lakeshore, cars were parked end to end around the house, like a low wall.
I looked back at T who was holding the monitoring device and saw him shaking his head slightly. I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"Drive through."
Norton naturally also saw the situation over there. He stepped on the accelerator, and the bus shook, and the originally slow speed was slightly increased.
As they slowly approached the lake, Lu Jiayi was carefully observing the house that was getting closer and closer, but the more he looked, the heavier his heart became. When the bus stopped, everyone saw the situation here.
The house was a large wooden building with a large field next to it. However, it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for a long time. The circle of cars surrounding the house had two holes in it. Several zombie corpses that had rotted into water lay quietly at the front door of the house, and their white bones could be seen between the tattered clothes.
The atmosphere in the car was a bit depressing. Everyone knew that what Rick had just said seemed to have come true. Glenn even patted Rick on the shoulder and whispered something.
"Next time, don't say that."
Lu Jiayi's expression didn't change. He got out of the car and walked to the side of the house. The others followed him out of the car.
"Let's check it out. Abraham, Rick, come in with me."
"receive."
Ten minutes later.
The three of them walked out of the house expressionlessly. Although they didn't say anything, the others could still see a hint of disappointment on their faces.
"Norton, drive to the next place."
After everyone got on the bus, Lu Jiayi smiled as if to comfort himself.
"At least the place I chose has been lived in, right? Maybe I can find it next time."
boom!
Suddenly, an explosion sounded from a distance.
The sound was very dull and didn't seem to be close. When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they could only see a burst of black smoke rising slowly.
"Lu, us?"
"Go and have a look."
"Walk!"
Unlike its slow speed just now, the bus suddenly rushed forward as if it had taken stimulants, and the huge inertia caused several people in the car to stagger.
The shouting and cursing did not make Norton feel sorry. Instead, he sped up again in excitement.
…
Ten minutes later.
The bus drove to a small town. The town was empty at this time. Only one house was still emitting black smoke and there was a faint flame in the room.
“Those people seem to have left.”
Rick looked at the empty streets and couldn't see a single zombie. It was obvious that they were all chasing after the survivors.
"Wait a moment."
Lu Jiayi quickly jumped out of the car, ran around the house and made a quick circle, then returned and pointed in a direction.
"They're going that way, Norton!"
"receive!"
Another five minutes later, they could already see a small tide of dozens of zombies excitedly chasing in one direction.
In front of them, several figures that were obviously human were staggering forward.
"T-boy!"
"receive."
I saw T walked to the front of the car and fiddled with the monitoring equipment in his hand for a while. Then a noisy sound came from the speakers in the car.
Then, amid the roars of the zombies, the voices of several men and women became unusually obvious.
A hoarse male voice with a crying tone was the first to reach their ears.
"Put me down, and run quickly, or we won't be able to leave."
As this voice fell, another male voice sounded accompanied by heavy gasping.
"Hu~ Shut up, we, huhu~ There's no way we'll give up on you, huhu~ Give up on this idea, if you don't want us to die, just try harder!"
Another female voice was heard. Her voice was very pleasant, but her words were intermittent due to her tired breathing.
"That's right. Huhu~ You saved all of our lives. Don't even think about asking us to leave you behind and go on our own."
Lu Jiayi was not in a hurry to save people. The group of zombies was still some distance away from these people. He wanted to hear what these people would do on the verge of life and death.
Hearing the conversation between the few people, everyone in the car turned their heads to look at Lu Jiayi. Seeing that he didn't say anything, they didn't urge him. These people knew very well that with the captain's character, he would definitely take action in time if the other party was worth saving.
Just as they were silently waiting for the next conversation between the few people, a childish voice was heard from the monitor again.
"Dad, I can't run anymore, woo woo woo."
It turned out to be the voice of a little girl!
"Lu, let's do it, there are children there."
"Wait a little longer, I will take action as soon as possible, don't worry."
Norton also became a little nervous after hearing the child's voice. His foot on the accelerator unconsciously tensed up, waiting for the order to rush out.
Because of the disabled man, the team's progress was extremely slow. The zombies were not moving fast, but were still slowly approaching them.
"Gary, how far is it to the next town?"
"It's still a long way, at least ten miles!"
"Damn it, how did you lead the way? You knew there was no place to hide here, but you still ran here? Is there any other place nearby where we can hide?"
"Uh... I was too nervous just now. Oh, I remember there's a roadhouse two miles ahead."
The man named Gary was obviously a little embarrassed and spoke hesitantly, but he quickly thought of a place and was obviously very familiar with the area.
"Okay, let's go there. If all else fails, we'll just fight these monsters!"
On the bus.
Lu Jiayi had been listening to the conversation between the few people, until now he finally reacted and patted Norton on the shoulder.
"Go ahead and save them."
"receive!"
