Chapter 146 Survivors

"What's wrong?"

Oscar's exclamation startled Rick. He rushed to the door and asked the question while already seeing five people standing at the other end of the corridor.

These people were all wearing military uniforms, holding rifles in their hands, with their muzzles pointed this way.

The light in the corridor was too dark, and Rick couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly. He frowned, pointed the Colt in his hand at several people, and spoke in a low and slow tone.

"Listen, if I were you, I would put down my weapons right now!"

A slightly shorter figure walked out of the five people. Rick could probably tell from the dim light in the corridor that this was a white man. The man put down the gun in his hand and then asked.

"Which army are you from?"

Rick did not speak, but shook his head at Oscar in front of the door. Oscar instantly understood what he meant and slowly retreated into the cafeteria.

Only then did Rick say to the man.

"Put down your weapons and then we'll talk!"

Unexpectedly, the short man waved his hand, and the people behind him all put down their guns, and then raised their hands to show that they were not hostile.

Rick backed away slowly, waved his gun, and continued: "Come in, let's talk."

Soon, five people walked into the restaurant amidst the vigilance of Rick's group. At this time, they finally saw their faces clearly. The leader was indeed a short white man, about thirty years old, with a face covered with thick hair. Half of them were covered by their beards, but their narrow eyes impressed Rick deeply. The remaining four people included two white people and two black people, all of whom were stout and had bulging muscles.

"Okay, just stand there. Next, I'll ask questions and you guys will answer them. Don't make any misguided ideas. Do you understand?"

"certainly!"

The little white man replied happily.

Rick gestured to the people around him, and immediately walked out two team members and came behind the five people. The five people opened their hands in cooperation. After a while of inspection, one team member shook his head.

"Captain, no weapons."

Rick nodded with relief, looked at the little leader and asked, "Tell me your name first."

The little man was the first to speak: "Let me tell you, my name is Henry and I am the monitor of these five people."

Then he pointed to a tall white man behind him and said: "This is Andre, and the one who looks a bit like Andre is Ball. The two of them are cousins."

Then he pointed to the two black men on the other side behind him and said, "One of these two is called Ghibli and the other is Gabriel."

After introducing the five people, Henry did not stop but continued to explain.

"We are the garrison here. When the apocalypse broke out, we had just returned from our mission and were sleeping in the dormitory. At night, we heard gunshots coming from outside. We originally wanted to break out, but when we ran to the gate, we found the courtyard It’s full of biting monsters! We wanted to get the weapons, but the way to the weapons depot was blocked by monsters and we couldn’t get through.”

"We had no choice but to retreat to the cafeteria, but as you can see, there is a layer of glass between the cafeteria and the outside. We thought that if those monsters found out, they would definitely smash the glass, and then we would be in danger."

"So we discussed it and decided to move the food and drinking water from the small warehouse in the cafeteria to the dormitory first, which is safer."

Rick looked at the military rations that had fallen on the ground in the back kitchen, and somewhat understood where these things came from, but Henry hadn't finished speaking yet.

"While we were moving things, the group of monsters in the building rushed over. There were originally a dozen of us, but in the end there were only five of us left. Relying on this food, we survived the year, but we Our food supply ran out two days ago. If you had come two days later, we would probably be dead, so we would like to thank you for your life-saving grace."

After listening to Henry's words, Rick looked at the five people carefully. Although what the other party said was reasonable, he still doubted them. For some reason, he always felt that the other party only told part of the truth.

"Take us to the dormitory and have a look."

Rick decided to check the other party's dormitory thoroughly.

When passing by the corridor, Rick picked up the guns that Henry and the other five had dropped on the ground, only to find that they were all empty. These guys actually held up several empty guns to confront them.

Seeing Rick's actions, Henry also gave a bitter smile and explained to Rick: "We didn't rush to the weapons depot and the ammunition had been used up long ago. Otherwise, we wouldn't be trapped here. These damn monsters have been surrounding us. We couldn't get out at the door of the dormitory, and the windows were full of monsters. We sealed all the windows, otherwise we would be in trouble if the monsters outside found us. "

While talking, everyone came to the dormitory area. Because the stench in the corridor was too strong, after the group came in, they found that the air here seemed to be much stronger than outside, and there was no longer that burning feeling in the eyes.

Rick and his team checked house by house, and it turned out that it was similar to what Henry and the others said. There were no weapons at all in the dormitory where they lived.

Rick was not going to let go of any clues. He led a few people to check room by room, and indeed he couldn't find anything. However, at the end of the corridor, Rick found a locked room.

Putting his ear against the door again, Rick heard the unique sound of zombies coming from inside, and he could also smell a putrid smell through the door.

Rick turned to look at Henry aside and asked with a bad expression.

"How is this going?"

Henry's expression became a little sad, he spread his hands and said with a choked voice.

"These are our brothers. Didn't I just say that there were more than a dozen of us originally? Among them are the sacrificed companions. We wanted to put them down, but we couldn't bear it, so we have been delaying it until now."

The four people next to Henry also showed sad expressions. Among them, Andre even covered his face and cried. Ball on the side comforted his brother, and the atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became a little depressed.

Javier sighed. He sympathized with these people, but then he comforted them.

"In today's world, just being alive is the greatest happiness. Don't be too sad. Do you need our help?"

Henry exhaled, seemed to have relaxed a little, shook his head and said.

"No need, we are free now and it's time to settle things. Can you lend us some weapons?"

Looking at the sad people in front of them, Rick and the others looked at each other a few times and stepped aside. Rick still looked at a few people warily. At present, he really couldn't find any problems. He felt a little relieved. Maybe this A few people are really just trapped here as they said.

He took a few steps back and discussed in a low voice with the people behind him.

"What do you think?"

Morgan was a little unsure, but still said.

"I think their explanation is quite valid. After all, what we just saw is indeed like this."

Javier was originally a guy with no opinions, but now he was somewhat convinced after hearing the other party's explanation.

"That's fine with me."

But Oscar said a little strangely: "I don't know why, I just feel that something is wrong with the other party."

Rick was silent for a while and looked at the sky outside the window. It was almost noon, so he decided to find the supplies here first.

"No matter what happens to them, I don't plan to take them back to the base. Let them leave later."

Rick was still a little worried about these people, but when he couldn't find any evidence, he didn't want to force them to do anything. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to let them go.
