Chapter 321: The End Is Coming: Partner
The lake in the park in the center of the city burst its banks, flooding the city center, and Tang Tu and the three had to swim through. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but it didn't take long for them to be blocked by the base camp of the mob.
Considering that there were too many people in the opponent's base camp, Tang Tu and Joel decided to avoid it after discussing it, so that they had to pass through the buildings on both sides.
However, it didn't take long for them to encounter the patrolling thugs again. They seem to have spotted an outsider infiltrating the area.
β... They are all dead, all dead! β
"What the hell happened? Calm down, who died? β
"The whole group of members, seventy-six people in the stronghold, some outsiders killed them, and killed them all."
"Damn, did you tell the boss?"
"Of course, he wants everyone to guard their positions and close all the floodgates."
"Okay, you heard him. Search this place and don't let anyone pass! β
The person in charge of the notification left, and he was going to inform the next place, and there were only two people left guarding the gate in front of him, and everyone else went to search.
Tang Tu and the three of them were lurking in the car not far from the gate, and the thugs probably didn't expect them to come so close, so they forgot to search them right under their noses. Tang Tu hid under the back seat, listening to the conversation of the guards.
"Do you think they're mistaken? I don't think there will be out-of-towners who can deal with a whole team of people. β
"What if there really is? Maybe the army is back. β
"Don't be stupid, the army won't take care of this place. If there is anything, it is just a little lucky for outsiders. We'll find them, we've got it all the time. β
Leaving Ellie alone in the car, Tang Tu and Joel had already touched the gate. In order not to attract other enemies, Tang Tu used stealth assassination.
After successfully passing through this gate, I encountered some enemies one after another. Neither Tang Tu nor Joel used firearms, trying not to alarm the others.
Joel is very powerful, he doesn't have Tang Tu's assassin skills and attribute bonuses, his main weapon is a brick and steel pipe that can be picked up at hand, and he also has a pair of bows and arrows that Bill gave him, but the arrows are limited, and they can only be searched and replenished after use.
Joel also uses Molotov cocktails as bombs, as well as using everything in sight to create a sound effect.
Ellie is also very good, Joel finally agrees to give her a pistol, and she even kills a zombie with her own hands. Young people are always quick to adapt to dangerous situations.
Suddenly, the sound of rumbling cars came, and Tang Tu and the three of them immediately hid in the shop on the side of the street.
A man and a woman ran through the streets, chased behind them by a modified Humvee with a gun emplacement, and the men in the car killed the man and woman with guns without mercy. The Hummer stopped next to the corpse, someone came down and rummaged for a while, they found nothing.
"It's a shame that I haven't found any food."
"It's been a busy day."
Tang Tu leaned on the window and quietly glanced outside. The Humvee had a human body strapped to the front of it, but with both legs cut off.
In troubled times, it is always human nature that is the first to become extinct.
The Hummer drove away, and Tang Tu and the three breathed a sigh of relief.
Ellie stood by the window and looked at the corpse outside, "Oh my God... It's cruel..."
"We can't help." Joel said.
"I know... It's just that... It feels very uncomfortable...", Ellie said.
Moving on, when Tang Tu and the three of them passed by a school, Ellie sighed again, "I lived in a place like this when I was in quarantine in Boston. β
Tang Tu looked at the sign on the school gate and said, "Army Reserve School? β
"Well, it's much better than the orphanage, I don't know what happened to the children here."
"This place has been abandoned for a long time, and they are no longer children." Joel said.
"You mean to say that they either became part of the mob or were killed?" Ellie asked.
"Uh-huh. Alright, it's time for us to hurry. β
Tang Tu and the three of them were not very lucky, and they actually encountered the patrolling Humvee again, and had to enter the residential building next to them again to take refuge.
The most annoying thing about the residential building is that you will encounter zombies, who may have lived here in the first place, or wandered here.
However, this time they met a father and son.
The two sides almost got into a fight because of a misunderstanding, and after seeing that both sides were carrying small children, everyone knew that they were not thugs.
"Those people won't keep their children, the so-called principle of survival of the fittest... My name is Henry and this is my son Sam. β
"This is Joel, this is 'Chef Not Butcher', my name is Ellie."
"How many of you are there?" Joel asked.
"They're all dead." Sam said.
"Hey, that's not sure yet," Henry gave Sam a serious look, then said, "We had a lot of people, some of us thought it would be a good idea to go into town, looking for supplies... The thugs attacked us and broke us apart. Now we're trying to get out of this hellish place. β
"We can help each other." Ellie said.
"Ellieβ" Joel stopped Ellie.
"She's right," said Henry, "we can help each other, we have a hiding place not far away, and it will be safer to talk there." β
Joel looked at Tang Tu, who nodded.
"Okay, take us there."
The group became five, with Henry leading the way. Ellie and Sam are the same age, and the two of them huddle together and whisper to each other.
"Where are you from?"
"Hartford."
"Really? I've heard that the situation there is not good. β
"Yes, the army abandoned that area, so we left there. That place probably looks similar to this place now. β
Joel and Henry walked in front, and Tang Tu walked last, leaving the two children in the middle.
Joel reminded Henry, "We need to be careful, it's right next to their base camp." β
"Is that your daughter?" Henry asked Joel.
"We're not related by blood, we're more like... I promised someone that would take good care of her. β
"I can understand that."
As the group walked through the residential buildings, they could still hear the sound of Humvees on the street outside.
Henry couldn't help but complain, "That damn Humvee, it's been chasing us, beating the damn one when we came in..."
Passing by a toy store, Sam tries to get a toy for a shape-shifting robot, but is stopped by Henry. Even though Sam's backpack is almost empty, Henry still sticks to the rule of picking things up, which is to only have the essentials.
Once a person gets used to possessing something that does not belong to him, stealing becomes a matter of course.
Tang Tu felt that Henry was a good father, and even in troubled times, he did not forget to teach his children how to behave. (To be continued.) )
