Chapter 346

“Ahh~”

"What should I do? We are surrounded and I don't want to die."

"Help~~"

"Dad, Mom, I'm scared!"

…

Ezekiel looked at the bus in chaos and felt cold sweat on his forehead. He looked at Jerry who was standing nearby. At this moment, the fat boy was holding a huge axe and looking at him as if he was waiting for orders.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"We have to find a way to calm these people down first."

"But what exactly should we do? I feel like it's hard to calm them down with ordinary methods."

Rolling his eyes, His Majesty the King was too lazy to pay attention to his dazed subordinates. Instead, he looked at the back seat of the bus, where there were also two soldiers in combat uniforms standing.

He shook the weapon in his hand, and the other party seemed to understand what he meant.

"Kachcha!"

"Shut up, everyone!"

There was a sound of bullets being loaded, accompanied by a loud shout. Some people in the noisy crowd subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the soldiers who had been quietly guarding on both sides were pointing their guns at them.

These people felt their hearts tighten and they quickly leaned over and hid in the seats. At the same time, they reached out to grab their relatives and friends who were still making a fuss, motioning them to sit down quickly.

Then, like dominoes, one by one, people were pulled back to sit by their clothes by their companions.

However, there were still a few people who did not move. They just stood there and looked at Ezekiel.

"You won't shoot."

Ezekiel knew these people. They were the ones who had been carrying boxes outside the Highland Community and were planning to take more supplies.

Although they all had families and their wives wanted them to sit down, these men were still angry about being forced to throw away their supplies.

Ezekiel looked at the carriage which was still much quieter, then walked up to them with his gun in hand.

"No, you are wrong. This gun will kill anyone who threatens the safety of my companions, no matter what their purpose is. Do you want to try it?"

As he finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief stalemate. Seeing that the few people did not move, Ezekiel simply raised the gun in his hand again. His eyes were unusually firm, and several people dared to bet that they could see a cold light in Ezekiel's eyes.

The man standing at the front felt that the pressure seemed to be increasing. Seeing Ezekiel getting closer and closer, he finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore and sat down with an unhappy look on his face.

Seeing someone taking the lead, the others stopped insisting and sat down as well.

"Everyone, I know the situation outside is not optimistic right now, but please believe me, Lu and his men are trying to find a way to get us out, and you yelling in the carriage will not only fail to solve the problem, but will also attract more zombies, so what you need to do now is to stay quiet and don't make any noise."

Having said that, Ezekiel put away his gun, reached out and patted the car gently.

"Besides, our buses have all been modified. Those zombies simply cannot break through such thick armor, so you are absolutely safe now."

"Then when will someone come to rescue us? What if they abandon us?"

Apparently, someone was still worried and asked about the thoughts of all the survivors of the Highland Community on the bus.

Ezekiel knew very well that if he could not completely appease these people, then bigger problems would definitely arise next. Seeing that some people in the crowd could not help but begin to question, he could only continue to explain.

"We are also in this car, aren't we? We are on the same boat now, so I assure you that everyone here will leave safely. All you need to do is wait quietly for a while."

"But you have to be quiet. These zombies are very sensitive to sound. Once they hear the sound from the car, it will cause great obstacles to the subsequent rescue operation."

The earnest persuasion finally worked, the carriage finally became quiet, and Ezekiel finally had time to observe the situation outside.

You don't know until you see it. It was really scary. The bus was not as short as the Hummer, and the zombies couldn't reach the windows at all. This also allowed him to see the dense crowd of zombies outside in the moonlight, like food squeezed into a can.

However, what made him feel a little relieved was that most of the vehicles seemed to have rushed out and were not surrounded by the zombies, which meant that Lu Jiayi and the others must have escaped.

He subconsciously took out the walkie-talkie to contact other people, but unexpectedly, Lu Jiayi's voice came from the walkie-talkie first.

"Which cars are stuck? Report the situation."

"This is Ezekiel. We are trapped. From what we can see now, the zombie tide is quite large. You have to find a way to rescue us, guys."

"Received. Keep silent and wait for rescue."

"receive."

While Ezekiel and his group were comforting the many survivors, the other bus that followed Glenn out of the zombie swarm was also not quiet. However, after Michonne took out her sword, these people quickly quieted down.

…

The Unimog, with more than half of the convoy, continued to rush forward for a distance before stopping.

Because most of the responsible persons were assigned to the other vehicles, only Daryl and Wells were left by Lu Jiayi's side at this time. Fortunately, most of the soldiers rushed out.

"Lu, how about I take some people to lead these damn guys away?"

People can be said to hate these rotten monsters that only know how to wander around and eat, especially Daryl, who seems to have a natural aversion to the zombies from the very beginning. Many people speculate that one of the reasons for this is that these zombies eat a large number of wild animals, which makes Daryl, who advocates survival in the wild, lose a large amount of food source.

Lu Jiayi, wearing night vision goggles, did not immediately respond to their request for battle, but just carefully observed the movements of the zombies.

As we all know, when a horde of zombies passes through, only a small group appears at first, and then the horde becomes wider as time goes by. Then there is a peak period of time, and finally it slowly becomes smaller until they leave.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the zombie swarm has not yet reached its peak, which means there are more to come.

"Based on the current situation, the number of zombies should be no less than 7,000 to 8,000. How come there are so many?"

Lu Jiayi stood on the roof of the car, muttering to himself as he looked at the seemingly endless swarm of corpses, until Daryl climbed up and he withdrew his thoughts.

He gestured to wait and did not give any orders immediately. He continued to observe for a while, but the situation did not develop in the right direction. It seemed that because of the previous shouting, the zombies surrounding the three cars kept hitting the car armor, making dull banging sounds. It was this sound that made all the zombies that emerged from the woods behind rush over there.

The encirclement was getting bigger and bigger, and the zombies at the back couldn't squeeze in at all, but they still persevered in moving forward. Many zombies were torn apart in the crowd and collapsed to the ground, but were instantly overwhelmed by the zombies rushing up from behind. Their already brittle skulls were soon trampled and deformed, and they were deader than dead.

However, compared with the standing zombies, these at best only reduced the number of zombies. Lu Jiayi, who was far away, understood that he could not wait any longer and must lead these zombies away as soon as possible.

He did it right away. He turned over and jumped into the carriage, and the others immediately surrounded him.

"We will send out five teams. Two of them will go and lead away the zombies that haven't arrived yet. The rest will be divided into three directions. We will lead away as many as we can."

"There are people in the car, and it's just night. If we use heavy firepower to clean it up now, who knows if it will attract a larger wave of corpses. Everyone, act now, but be sure to pay attention to safety."
