Chapter 344

"Roger that, this is Lu, Rick, how are things going over there?"

"Shashasha... Please repeat, signal... repeat."

Lu Jiayi pretended to move a few steps, moved the antenna, and pressed the call button again.

This time the sound from the speaker finally became clear, and Rick's voice came out immediately.

After some negotiation, he put down the walkie-talkie.

"Everyone, our people have rushed out and are coming this way. But the zombie tide is right behind them, and our time is very limited."

Looking at the crowd in the base who were still busy jumping up and down, Lu Jiayi finally spoke.

"Louis, tell them to take only the clothes and the most important things, and leave the rest."

In fact, many people have already completed their preparations and are standing in the square, but there are still dozens of people who have not come out at home.

Telman understood the urgency of the situation, and after giving a few instructions to the people around him, a group of people ran towards the homes of these people. In less than five minutes, a large group of people were seen running towards this side with large and small bags in their arms.

Another five minutes later, everyone finally gathered together. However, some of them brought too many things, like they were moving house, which made Lu Jiayi frown.

"There are limited vehicles available. Each person is only allowed to carry one package. You only have two minutes to pack and leave in two minutes."

In an emergency, although some people have some complaints in their hearts, compared to their lives, the latter is obviously more important. However, there are still some individuals who are unwilling to give up their things.

Lu Jiayi actually saw it, but he didn't say anything, and the several responsible persons didn't say much either. These people were all fighters from the Highland Community. Compared with other families, they were slightly wealthier, and at least one of them carried some food rations in their luggage.

There were only a few days' worth of food left in the base, and when the residents were packing up, Telman had already distributed the remaining food, so every family now had some food.

Two minutes passed in a flash, and the team finally moved. The two cars from Ideal Town led the way, followed by the survivors, and finally the five small cars that could still be driven, loaded with almost everyone's luggage.

The gate of the base has been opened. A group of people drove directly onto the road and headed towards the bridge. Several people with more luggage were still carrying one or two large pieces of luggage. Since each person could only put one piece of luggage on the car, they were no exception and had to carry the extra luggage themselves.

However, the two cars in front were driving faster, so most of the residents walking behind had to run to keep up. However, these people naturally fell behind because of the burden of their luggage.

A white man in his forties was gasping for breath at this time. Long-term malnutrition caused his physical strength to decline significantly. His wife and two sons beside him looked anxiously at the team going farther and farther in front of them, and looked back from time to time.

Not long after they walked out of the community, there were a few zombies following not far behind them. Although they were not as fast as their team, a few zombies would appear from both sides from time to time. Lu Jiayi's two cars kept clearing the approaching zombies to ensure the safety of the people behind, but they could not take care of those behind.

Lu Jiayi did this on purpose. If it weren't for these disobedient guys, he actually planned to have two cars, one in front and one behind, so that he could better protect these people. However, in order to teach them a lesson, he did not do so.

So the current scene appeared. The zombies gathered behind the few people who were getting farther and farther away from the convoy gradually increased. Two men began to realize the danger. They gritted their teeth and ruthlessly threw away the bags in their hands, picked up the children beside them and put them on their shoulders, then ran after them.

The remaining few men were still gritting their teeth and holding on at first, but as the main group was getting farther and farther away, they could no longer hold on, and they followed the example of the two men before them, throwing away their bags, picking up their children, and chasing after them in big strides.

However, among the large group, there were still two strong men carrying luggage on their backs who were not thrown away. When they saw that they were only a few hundred meters away from the bridge, they vaguely saw that there seemed to be several large vehicles parked at the bridgehead.

"Sure enough, someone is here to pick us up. Let's run!"

"Run, run! Run!"

The effect of quenching thirst by looking at a plum is sometimes so magical. Once you see hope, you will really forget the physical fatigue temporarily.

In this way, they ran forward a few hundred meters again with excitement. A large number of armored vehicles and modified buses appeared in front of them. They were secretly shocked and at the same time glad for Telman's decision.

“Hoo~Hoo~Hoo.”

A group of people in rough clothing stood in the midst of a torrent of steel, feeling a strong sense of security. Everyone's face was filled with joy and relief for having successfully escaped.

Lu Jiayi was the first to get out of the car. He greeted Rick and the others who came to greet him, introduced Telman and the others, and then quickly arranged for these people to get in the car.

The doors of several buses opened, and the survivors were stopped by soldiers standing on both sides of the doors just as they were about to get on. Lu Jiayi climbed onto the roof of the Unimog from the ladder outside, and looked at the large number of survivors present with a kind smile on his face.

"Listen to my orders, Ideal Town warriors, each team will take one position and clear out the zombies."

"As for our friends in the Highland community, due to the large number of people and limited space in the bus, no one is allowed to bring luggage on board, no exceptions."

After saying that, he jumped out of the car and walked towards the side where there were more zombies.

The two sturdy men who were still carrying the luggage on their backs had turned pale in the face. They had risked their lives to carry the luggage here. They originally thought that they could live a better life after arriving at the new base with these supplies, but they did not expect that the Asian boy would say such a thing directly.

As soon as these words came out, it was almost as if he was pointing at their noses and calling them names. The two of them looked at each other and saw anger on each other's faces.

"Louis, this is something we carried here on our own, why can he just throw it away?"

"That's right. The others didn't because they don't have the ability. We won't throw it!"

Not only these two people, but even those who were forced to throw away their luggage stood up. One person even clamored for an armored vehicle to accompany them back to pick up their luggage.

Terman's face was not looking good. He was a good leader of the Highland Community, but the Highland Community was a place that valued democracy, so he seldom interfered with the private behavior of these people. As long as it did not harm the community, it was basically restrained by basic morals.

It can be said that he is a lucky guy. Ninety-nine percent of these survivors are very well-educated, so he can build a base with more than 300 people. If even half of these people were against him, the Highland community today would probably be a very different scene.

The few people who had brought extra luggage were the troublemakers in the Highland Community. They had never interfered with each other before and had lived in peace with each other, but now a conflict finally broke out because of this incident.

However, the warriors of Ideal Town ignored them. They were already calling on the well-behaved survivors to board the bus in an orderly manner.

Seeing that Telman did not respond, the men felt that the other party was suppressed by them, so they shouted even louder. The man who wanted to go back even called on several people to walk towards the armored vehicle.

Rick looked at the few people coldly, strode to the front of the armored vehicle, and stood in front of them. The soldiers behind him also raised their weapons and pointed their guns at the few people.

The man was not afraid at all, as he had hundreds of people on his side. Although the other side also had a lot of people, he absolutely did not believe that the other side would do anything to them in front of so many people. So he became bolder and reached out to push Rick away.

"Hey~ah~"

But unexpectedly, the next second, Rick's body swayed, and he instantly leaned forward, wrapped his arms around the man's neck, and kicked him at the heel. The man immediately lost his balance, and felt a sense of suffocation in his neck the moment his body fell.

The few people who followed the man found that the other side had subdued him in less than two seconds. They all showed furious expressions, and the remaining rationality in their minds turned to ashes in the burning anger.

However, only two seconds later, an arrow with beautiful tail feathers shot through the air and hit the ground in front of several people. The huge inertia caused the arrow to shake violently after it stopped, making a buzzing sound.

Several men were frightened as if they were under a spell, standing still in their previous actions and not daring to move. Daryl slowly loaded an arrow, and behind him a row of soldiers with guns rushed out.

"Everyone, listen carefully. If you want to join us, you must obey orders. Anyone or anything that threatens the stability of the base will be eliminated. Do you want to test our determination?"

Rick strangled the man's neck hard, and his words sounded gnashing. The man under him tried to break free with a flushed face, but found that his efforts were of no use. The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. The fear of death made him try to raise his head and beg for mercy, but he saw his wife and children sitting on the ground not far away, hugging each other and crying.

Just before he felt he was about to lose consciousness, the force strangling his throat loosened, and he took a deep breath as if reflexively, followed by a violent coughing fit.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Rick stood up and rubbed his sore arm, then he took out the Colt Python from his waist, tilted his head towards a few people, and motioned them to come over.

Being escorted to the side of the convoy by several soldiers, Rick stood on the roadside and pointed ahead and said.

"What do you think that is?"

Several people looked at each other, not knowing what Rick meant. The most muscular man spoke tentatively.

"Zombies?"

－－－－－－－Off-topic－－－－－－－

There are still two chapters today. I have been at the epidemic checkpoint since the beginning of January. So far, the epidemic situation in various places is still volatile, and there is no sign of lifting the checkpoint. I will try my best to update in the future, and I will post as much as I write. Thank you to the new and old readers who have always supported me. My casual updates make you uncomfortable to read. In fact, it is also uncomfortable for me to write, but I said I would not go to the palace and I will definitely not go to the palace, so I can only trouble you to wait a little longer. It should be because of the long-term checkpoint. Now I am particularly prone to fatigue. I stare at it for 24 hours and then sleep for a whole day. I feel drowsy. After a long time, I feel that I can't rest. In addition, I promised my family that I would not write during my rest time, so it is not easy to take time to write. I hope you can understand.
