Chapter 174 A Fateful Encounter
Atlanta, prison.
More than two days have passed since Rick left the prison. At first, he could still communicate through the walkie-talkie, but now there is no signal at all.
Although Sean explained that the walkie-talkie had run out of battery before going out, Lori was still worried to death.
On the morning of the third day, as soon as Sean walked out of the room, he saw Lolly walking towards him, accompanied by Carl and Morgan's wives and children. This made his head grow several times.
Luo Li didn't sleep all night last night and had been messing with the walkie-talkie, and the bursts of rustling sound were like the cold wind on a winter night, which made her feel cold. She simply ran directly to the city wall and happened to encounter the same person. Jenny was worried about her husband, and after the two shared their concerns, they simply made an appointment to go out together.
"You must go find him today. My husband went out for the base. If something happens to him, no one here can escape responsibility!"
"Captain Sean, Morgan has been out for a long time. They didn't bring many weapons and ammunition, and they encountered a zombie wave. I hope to send a team of people to search and rescue them. What if they are trapped somewhere now? "
"Uncle Sean, you will save my dad, right?"
"..."
Sean was as big as two people. It wasn't that he didn't want to search and rescue him, but Atlanta was such a big city, how could he find it?
Even if the entire base is mobilized to search for it, it won't help. It can't cover much area at all, and a large number of people have to go out, not to mention the zombies everywhere. Since the last explosion at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the zombies nearby have increased significantly. , even port tasks have been temporarily suspended in order to reduce outings.
But he couldn't say it directly. These three people were all the backbone of the base and made great contributions to the base. Even emotionally, he didn't want anything to happen.
After thinking about it, he decided to do something. He roughly recalled the direction Rick went after he left, and nodded to a few people.
"I will go out for search and rescue as soon as possible, but you have to know that it is not easy to find them. I will try my best."
After finally getting a response, Lori showed a hint of relief and hugged Sean gratefully, while Jenny kept thanking her with red eyes.
Half an hour later, Sean called a few good guys and drove an armored vehicle out of the base.
…
Click, click, click!
"Damn, the battery is out!"
Rick threw away the walkie-talkie in his hand angrily. They were trapped. Lily wanted to open the window when she got up in the morning, but she found a large number of corpses passing through the town.
What pissed him off the most was that the direction in which this zombie wave was heading had once again blocked their way back.
Even if the tide of corpses passes, they can't go back this way. Now they just hope that this tide of corpses will pass quickly.
Fortunately, they were not discovered, otherwise this residential house would not be able to hold on for long before it would be breached. By then, not to mention going back, even one's life would be at stake.
Quietly, he opened the curtains a small crack and looked at the dense tide of corpses on the street. He sighed in his heart. Before the end of the world, scenes that could only be seen at some large festivals were unexpectedly seen now. However, no one should want to see this. Make a scene.
After encountering two waves of corpses in a row and a road closure, everyone was a little discouraged and no one was lucky.
Aji collapsed on the sofa with a look of despair. This wave of corpses had been going on for a long time. They didn't dare to make a sound in the room. A notebook appeared in front of him, and there seemed to be a few words written on it. , he took a closer look.
"One Sword Dominates"
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Glancing speechlessly at Tara who looked curious next to him, he took the pen and paper and wrote.
"Thought nothing."
"Don't worry, the tide of corpses will pass soon." Gu
"The tide of corpses has passed and will not come back."
"..."
For a while, the two started chatting.
Rick suddenly looked surprised at the window. He finally saw the edge of the corpse tide. Although it was still far away, at the current speed, it should be over in about half an hour.
After one hour.
"Haha, I can finally speak."
Tara sat on the sofa with a smile and sighed. Lily on the side saw her heartless look and glared at her.
Seeing her sister's signal, she realized that the atmosphere in the room seemed not right, and she sat upright in embarrassment.
The three Ricks were studying something on the map at this time. They seemed to have some differences of opinion, and the discussion became louder.
"No, no, no, it can't work here. There are too few residents here. Our purpose is to find gasoline and then find a car that can be driven. Otherwise, we will be really useless if we encounter a group of corpses again."
"But there are groups of corpses on both sides, wouldn't the chance of encountering them be greater? We can only walk farther away now, then find a car and then return to the base."
"..."
Listening to the quarrel between the two people around him, Rick also frowned. The embarrassing thing now was that there were at least two large groups of corpses walking back, and walking further away was too far away from other towns.
"Let's find a car here first."
Two hours later.
On the road outside the town, Rick and his group were walking forward carrying several oil cans.
After more than an hour of collecting, three oil cans were half filled, but there was not even a car that could start in the town. In desperation, we had no choice but to carry gasoline and walk towards the next town.
Rick walked at the front carrying an oil can, and from time to time he would kill a few zombies that followed him. The people behind him followed closely behind him, surrounding Lily and her daughter.
The sun was very bright today, and the light fell on the road through the bare treetops on both sides, and also fell on a few people. Rick looked up at the leaf buds on the treetops that had begun to turn green, feeling a little dazed.
Buzz! Buzz!
The sound of an engine reached the ears of several people in the distance. Rick suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. Ten seconds later, a truck appeared from the corner in the distance.
There was no cover around them, and a few people simply stopped hiding. They just stood on the road and watched the truck getting closer and closer.
Zhiqua~~!
The people in the car had obviously seen a few people, and they were slowing down from hundreds of meters away. With the harsh sound of brakes, the truck gradually stopped in front of the people.
Subconsciously protecting Lily and Megan, several people saw six people getting out of the truck.
The leader is a strong white man who is over 1.9 meters tall. He has short red hair standing up high and a long beard under his nose. He is wearing a gray cross-strap vest and his muscular arms are completely exposed. come out.
The rest were two slender girls, a short white man in his thirties wearing a hat, a handsome white young man, and a weirdo with a weird hairstyle standing at the back.
The tall man in the lead walked to the front of the truck carrying a rifle. He glanced around at the people and for some reason a smile appeared on his lips.
"Looks like today is my lucky day!"
