Calvin turned his head suddenly, and he met the look of Aisaac and chuckled involuntarily.

Well, it seems that the physical exchange between Calvin and the Red Deer last night did not hide from Isaac either. And Isaac looked like he was going crazy.

Everything was bad.

Calvin himself didn't know why he was caught up in such a strange family struggle.

He was already an adult through and through, and Calvin believed that he should not feel weak in any way......

But the Holden brothers are not like ordinary people after all. During the days of exile from the Adventists, Calvin and Isaac did have a close relationship that was different from the rest of the family.

Not to mention, considering Red Deer's past identity and his not-so-acceptable personality, Calvin had to take a step back in the face of Isack's wrath.

He got into the car that Isaac had found, and Red Deer walked towards Han and Joyce, who had a slightly unsightly face, with a subtle smile.

"Do you need to handcuff me, if that makes you feel a little less nervous?"

He glanced at Han and said slowly.

Han smiled bitterly.

"Oh, of course not. ”

He said.

"Besides, that thing wouldn't have been able to trap you in the first place, would it, Mr. Red Deer. Get in the car, don't be so angry – family wars are tricky, aren't they?"

Joyce continued, opening the car door for Red Deer.

Red Deer gave them both a meaningful look, then sat down.

Joyce and Han shuddered in unison, and they exchanged glances, neither of them missing the bitterness in each other's eyes.

"I should have asked that Holden guy to invite me for a drink......"

Han muttered dissatisfiedly.

The atmosphere between Red Deer and Joyce and Han was quite stiff.

But compared to Isaac and Calvin in the other car, the van can already be described as happy.

Isaac found the car left by the owner of the farmhouse in the farmhouse. It was an old Buick from the 90s, and it was painted a pretty mint green. Judging from the refurbished interior and the well-maintained parts, it is clear that the elderly couple loved the car.

It's a good car, but the atmosphere inside is like a swamp with a muddy and heavy atmosphere - and this suffocating heaviness continues through the rest of the trip.

During the trip, the atmosphere between Calvin and Izak in the car had been quite heavy.

Calvin thought that Isaac would question himself while he was in the car.

About Red Deer, and that kind of relationship between him and Red Deer.

Calvin knew he was making a mistake.

Red Deer is by no means a proper candidate, and his gender may not be too much of an issue, but his former status as a serial murderer, and his weird "door" superpowers...... Calvin asked himself if he and Isaac were to exchange identities, and they would probably be completely mad because of this intimate relationship.

He had been working on his own draft, waiting for Izak's dissuasion and questioning (though even he admitted that the arguments in defense of Red Deer were too weak to be attacked).

But the reality was completely different from Calvin's assumptions: Asaac was just driving as usual the whole time, and didn't ask Calvin anything about Red Deer.

Although his face was blue and his eyes were cold and piercing, even if he just looked in the rearview mirror, it was as if he was emitting a death light wave when he saw the van carrying the red deer.

But he didn't say anything.

This only made Calvin more and more uneasy.

It was in this bad atmosphere that Calvin almost had a nervous breakdown that they drove all the way to Los Angeles.

There weren't many surprises on the stretch from the farmhouse all the way to Los Angeles, and there were sights Calvin already familiar with along the way.

Chaos, order collapses, explosions, fires, robberies......

Almost every town is hovering with Adventist lunatics to a greater or lesser extent, the only difference being how insane the group is. Of course, Calvin was sure that many of the madmen who caused the chaos, the killing, and all sorts of vandalism were never really controlled by Joshua.

But so what? The modern civilization on which humanity depends is actually so fragile, and so is what ordinary people think of as "everyday life."

Along the way, Calvin's eyes were always met with only gunsmoke and blood......

Everything looks like the real end of the world has come silently.

Calvin could feel that the mood of the others was getting low (probably excluding the red deer, who was amused by what was in front of him).

This can also be seen in the number of cigarette butts that Isaac smoked in the carriage. Calvin felt a little sad, if it was a normal day, he would have found a way to resolve the major differences between him and Isack, but the cruel reality forced Calvin to have no respite, so that he could only silently endure Aisack's increasingly ugly face.

Oh yes, the harsh reality - it's no surprise that Calvin and the others have encountered many attacks along the way, but most of them are not from the Adventist lunatics who are clamoring for the end to come, but from violent gangs that have grown into shape over a long period of chaos.

The long-term collapse and chaos of social order has caused serious casualties and shortages of supplies.

Many people do not become insane, but have to become morally corrupt "evil people" in order to survive.

Thankfully, Calvin and his party were very good at using firearms, and Aiza and Joyce, as well as Han, were fairly mature police officers, and in the end, all the attacks were dangerous.

Then, at sunset one day, Calvin inadvertently looked up and saw a familiar name on a green and white sign.

"God, we're ......"

Calvin muttered, no joy in his voice.

If he wasn't familiar with Los Angeles, even Calvin wouldn't have been able to connect the ruined city in front of him with the city of angels in his memory.

Before that, no matter who it was, there was actually more or less hope for Los Angeles.

After all, there are a large number of rich and famous people here, and no matter what happens here, it should be protected by the state.

But as soon as the roads in the area were opened, everyone already knew that they had only fantasized about the city.

There are no lights, no electricity, no clues that would prove that civilization still exists.

There was only blood, corpses, and many more corpses.

Calvin couldn't even tell if the devastation on the highway was caused by a car accident or a deliberate robbery (along the way, they encountered many similar ambushes).

The wreckage of the car was scattered haphazardly on the ground, and between the twisted shards of metal and glass were corpses that had turned black and swollen, and a strange stench floated in the air.

Only the golden-red twilight illuminated the silent land. But even the sunlight seemed to be evil, mercilessly smearing the blinding blood in large chunks of the ruins of hell.

Highway 9 to Los Angeles has been completely abandoned and used as a vehicle waste dump. It was bad, but overall, it was much better than the other roads that Isaac and Joyce had tried before, at least there weren't a lot of vehicles piled up in metal, corpses, and various mounds of wreckage.

Isaac stopped the car, turned off the engine, and then he pulled out a long machete from under his seat and jumped out of the car.

He ignored Calvin, but Calvin jumped out of the car after him.

Isaac came to the outside of the van, and he knocked on the window.

The window panes slowly lowered, revealing Joyce's stern face.

"I'll take a look at the situation first, and if there are no other problems, I think we're probably going to have to abandon the car next. ”

"I'll go with you. ”

Joyce said.

……

After a while, the five of them were already walking through the highway at the same time, soaked in a black-red viscous liquid.

They slowly passed through many desperate places- There was a fire near one of the exits, all the cars were burned black, as were the bones, and some of them even maintained a posture of struggling to escape, but death and fire fixed them forever in that terrible moment, a serious car accident, more than twenty cars were crushed into iron, like someone had stepped on a deflated can, they did not see the body, but the area had the most black and red blood, attracting a large number of flies to haunt the vicinity, and further on, Calvin was shocked to see the remnants of a brutal murder, several people were posed in ridiculous shapes, nailed directly to the roof of the car, which had the words "Heretics should go to hell" written on the body. With a look of despair still on the victim's puffy face, Calvin glanced at them and quickly looked away. He didn't mistake them for being members of the Adventists, but being able to stay awake and flee in a car was in itself a sign of the extreme unpiety of the Adventists.

……

"You're looking a little bad right now. ”

Calvin subconsciously planned to turn his head to look at those people again, but the figure of the red deer suddenly moved forward, blocking Calvin's view.

"When we kill Joshua, things will get better. ”

Red Deer comforted, then he reached out and gently grabbed Calvin's wrist.

The night gradually covered the land, and the cold moonlight gently covered the red deer's countenance with a layer of silver frost. At this moment, the handsome face and deep gaze of the red deer really made Calvin feel relieved.

"You've ...... lately"

Calvin involuntarily spoke.

"What's wrong with me?"

Just as Calvin was about to answer the Red Deer—

"Click-"

Calvin's words were interrupted by a loud sound of the safety bolt being pulled apart, and he suddenly turned his head to see Isaac with a gun.

The muzzle of the black hole seemed to be inadvertently aimed at the red deer beside Calvin.

Calvin: "......"

Noticing Calvin's gaze, Isaac said with a blank face, "I saw a wildcat—I thought it was something else." ”

Calvin involuntarily and slowly pulled his wrist out of Red Deer's warm palm.

"I'm really sad now. ”

Calvin heard an aggrieved snort.

"He's my brother. ”

Calvin replied.
