Chapter 425: Collapsed Herschel

"A hundred meters ahead...... Yes, there's a bifurcation there, you have to pay attention, it's easy to miss it...... It was the only way for cars to get in and out of the farm...... "Otis was constantly showing Moore the way, and Daryl's Harley-Daleys were following closely.

As soon as the convoy entered the farm, they saw a two-storey white wooden house sitting alone, surrounded by two farmhouses and sheds, and a barn not far away.

"If the world is normal, I must have such a farm!" Andrea said enviously, putting her arms around her sister Amy.

"Agreed!" Glenn agreed.

"I don't have that much money to buy a house like this, Andrea, or you can take me in!" John said jokingly.

"Hey, John, are you interesting to Andrea?" Sean's joke made John's face flush, and he immediately looked down and touched the back of his head, laughing awkwardly.

"Come on, John, be my brother-in-law!" Amy's teasing provoked a roll of the eyes from Andrea, but the latter did not immediately refuse John. Before the end of the world, John, who was ordinary, who only liked to work out but was easily shy, was like sand in the crowd, inconspicuous, but now in the last days, John's personality and physique are incomparably precious.

"Sean, you all stay in the car, and I'll negotiate with Li and pray for a good outcome. Rick's voice came over the intercom, and Sean picked up the intercom and replied that it had been received.

On the other hand, when the convoy appeared in the visual range of the house, everyone in the house came out one after another, standing at the doorway, looking nervously at the convoy.

"Daddy, do you think they are friend or foe?" asked a girl with short hair, looking at an old man with white hair and a ruddy face.

"Hope is friend and foe......," said the white-haired old man, who was Otis's farmer, Herschel, and his daughter, Maggie.

"Oh my God! it's Otis! what the hell is going on?" a woman standing next to Hershel saw Otis limping and nervously ran in the latter's direction. The woman was Otis's wife, Patricia.

"Maggie, prepare the necessary medical equipment. Hershel instructed his daughter 8∠8∠8∠8∠,m.▲.co⊥mstyle_tt;.

After Rick's explanations, and Otis's constant kind words to the convoy, Hershel finally agreed to keep the convoy outside the farm for the time being, and provided them with tents, water, and some necessary resources.

Although they were not given the right to enter the house to rest, it was already a good treatment for the convoy to have a safe place to stay, so they did not complain too much about Herschel's hospitality.

……

Otis's injuries were not severe, they didn't hurt their muscles and bones, but their ankles were slightly displaced. Originally, Hershel planned to fix Otis with a wooden strip, but Li Wei said that there was no need to be so troublesome, and he would use the barge technique of Chinese medicine, although Otis couldn't help but scream in pain, but he only needed to recuperate for a while.

"Sure enough, it is a broad and profound Chinese medicine technique...... At that time, I wanted to learn Chinese medicine, but the old doctor did not want to let the quintessence of the country go out, so after returning to China, I only studied veterinary medicine. Seeing Li Wei's skillful TCM treatment techniques, Herschel was moved to reveal his unknown history.

That night, Herschel, as the host, welcomed the group into the house for a sumptuous dinner, the main course was the venison that Otis had hunted in the afternoon and the vegetables grown on the farm, and the two children were smiling because they had eaten the eggs they had not seen for a long time.

"The child should stay in the house and rest. Perhaps it was the laughter of the two children that made Herschel feel something, and when Rick and the others were about to leave the house, they suddenly left such a sentence and went up to the second floor.

"...... this?" the group looked in amazement as Herschel left in the direction in which Rick finally spoke.

"Herschel loves children, and he thinks that children are the best gift God can give to mankind. "Otis's wife, Patricia, answers everyone's questions.

Herschel's daughter, Beth, took her two children to her bedroom, while Beth's boyfriend, Jimmy, obediently laid out the floor in the living room on the first floor.

"Huh, in that barn...... Odd?" as Levy passed by the barn, intending to return to the tent, no less than ten gray figures appeared in his perception.

"Are they raising the walking corpse?!" After returning to the tent, Li Wei kept his eyes on the barn. When Patricia's figure appeared in the attic of the barn and threw a bag of things into it for the walking corpses inside to fight for, he realized that the bag was a bag of live chickens.

……

"Herschel, I have something I want to talk to you about alone. Rick grimaced as he approached Herschel in the stable. He was shocked by the scene he had shown himself last night, and his only thought at the time was to be glad for himself and the others.

"What's the matter?" asked Herschel, as he busied himself with grooming his horses.

"Why is there so many walking corpses in your barn?" asked Rick in a low voice.

"Don't use that word! in my eyes, they're just sick patients!!" Hershel suddenly exclaimed, but luckily there was no one near the stable, so it didn't attract much attention.

"No, Herschel, wake up! They're dead, medically or theoretically! You may choose not to believe what others say, but you should know about my medical knowledge. Without waiting for Rick to speak, Li Wei retorted firmly.

"No, you're wrong, Lee, when the first case of smallpox appeared, people thought it was the end of the world, but it turned out that nature had given humanity a vaccine, and it is the same now, nature is slowly recovering, and they will recover by that time!" Hershel cried out.

"Herschel, the smallpox vaccine was obtained by countless studies by humans, provided that scientists put their hearts and souls into it, but in the current world, scientists have either become one of them, or they can't bear the facts and choose to escape and commit suicide. Far from it, the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta has disappeared from the fires, because they have exhausted all their supplies and still can't find the source of the virus. Rick's words became the last straw that overwhelmed Herschel.

"No...... No...... It's not true......" Hershel seemed to be much older, and fell to the ground in a state of discouragement.

"Herschel, can you tell me why are you so excited?" asked Li Wei curiously.

"My wife...... and stepson...... It's all in that barn......" Herschel's answer made the two of them understand why he had been so resistant before, and the cruel reality made him choose to subconsciously escape......
