CHAPTER XXV

On September 16, the temporary headquarters of the ZF building in the Beicheng District of Hailan District,

Four days ago, there was a massive outbreak of infections in the King's District. The virus spread faster than anyone expected, and the Blue Zone was not spared......

The head of the "Waves" military base, Tina. Clinton was ordered to lead the officers and men of the Army to establish a headquarters in the ZF building. A kilometer radius of the infected was cleared, and fortifications were built to defend against the menacing inhabited.

Tina stood on the roof of the ZF building, looking down at the crowd of zombies, full of worry.

Inside the Circle of Defense are heavily armed soldiers, tanks, and a variety of heavy machinery, all of whom are actively fighting against the infected. From time to time, there was a loud sound of shelling, and the shock wave shook the windows.

Outside the safe zone are an untold number of infected people, constantly storming the fortifications......

"I don't know how long it will last..."

Tina sighed deeply and said weakly.

"Report!"

At that moment, a soldier came up to Tina, apparently with something to tell.

"Say!"

Tina didn't look back, not wanting others to be affected by her emotions.

"Technicians found Corey. Stan's Tracks! ”

The soldier pulled out a tactical tablet, walked over to Tina and handed it to her.

"Bring it to me!"

Tina took the tablet from the soldier's hand and examined it anxiously.

"Pick me up Lieutenant Henry!"

She read the information, and then ordered the soldiers to bring Henry.

"Yes! Please follow me! ”

The soldier turned to his side and held out his hand to signal Tina to follow him.

Tina hummed and followed the soldier to the intelligence room. The liaison brings up the screen, on which a face belonging to Henry appears.

"Lieutenant Henry, I'm Major Tina. Clinton. I received information, Corey. Stan has been shown up at a military factory in Buffalo, please make sure he is brought back safely. ”

Tina sat in front of the screen and said word by word, without any emotion on her face.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Henry's nonchalant answer came from the other side.

"I've sent a team to pick up Corey and unfortunately lost contact with them. And you're the closest to the arsenal, and I know how difficult this mission is, but I hope you understand. ”

Tina obviously knew that Henry would say that, so she explained unhurriedly.

"I am a soldier and it is my duty to obey orders. But whether it will work or not, I can't guarantee it..."

Henry's expression on the screen was very helpless, but he still said his opinion.

"I also have a hard time, please understand. You can recruit your own team members, and I'll give you a commendation when it's done. ”

Tina felt that this matter was discussed, so her hanging heart also let go.

"I don't want any recognition, I want safety!"

Henry shook his head, indicating that he needed a safe place to stay.

"I promise you!"

She readily agreed to Henry's offer.

"That's it! I give you Cory, you give me and my people safety! ”

Henry thought about it for a moment and made a deal with Tina.

β€œOk!”

Seeing that Henry had agreed, Tina made an "OK" gesture.

Cut off communication with Henry, Tina sat in the swivel chair for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking......

On the other side,

"What now?!"

Henry's ear rang for Ashley's urgent voice.

"What else can I do, rush over!"

After saying that, Henry kicked the accelerator, let go of the handbrake and drove the car over.

……

In order to save AndrΓ© and his students, Henry and Ashley act as "bait" to lure away the zombies.

Although he succeeded in luring away the zombies, he now puts himself and Ashley in a "desperate situation".

The bus driven by Henry has been constantly "destroyed" and has reached its limit. He had to look for the next car before it was scrapped.

"This car is no longer working, we have to find another one!"

Plumes of black smoke rose from the front of the bus, signaling that the bus was about to be scrapped.

"But there are zombies all around here, how can we get out?"

Ashley looked around the car and saw that they were surrounded by zombies.

"See that manhole cover in front of you, let's go from there!"

Ashley was right, and Henry noticed their current situation. Through the car's headlights, Henry stumbles upon a sewer.

"There's no other way but to give it a try!"

Henry pondered, realizing that they had no choice.

"I'll do my best to get out of the car when the time comes! Don't be afraid, jump right in! ”

He stared ahead and spoke his thoughts.

"You have to keep up!"

Ashley unbuckled his seatbelt and instructed Henry.

"Don't worry, I'll follow!"

Henry quickly turned his head to look at Ashley and grinned in agreement.

Henry drove the car headlong into the dense crowd of zombies, and as expected, the car stalled. Luckily, though, they're not far from the sewers, so there's a chance to jump in before the zombies hit.

"Henry! Henry! ”

The speed of the bus was so fast that Henry's head hit the steering wheel when the bus was forced to stop. Ashley in the co-pilot was fine, and she hurriedly shook Henry.

"Oh...... Come on! ”

Henry quickly came to his senses and covered his head with his hands. was knocked and a small cut was made on the forehead. However, at this time, Henry did not have time to treat the wound, and hurriedly beckoned Ashley to get out of the car.

Seeing that Henry was fine, Ashley quickly opened the door. After getting out of the car, she ran down to the well in three steps and two steps, and removed the manhole cover.

"Henry, come here!"

Ashley didn't jump off immediately, but looked at Henry.

"Jump!"

Henry saw that Ashley did not jump, and instantly panicked. He was worried about her safety, so he didn't dare to slack off.

During this period, many zombies rushed towards them from all directions. Henry tried to pull out a gun and shoot, but couldn't find it. He had no choice but to hit with his body and kick with his feet.

Eventually, Henry came to the well, and he grabbed Ashley and threw her down the drain. He himself went down the ladder into the sewer and closed the manhole cover with his backhand.

"Are you alright? Are there any injuries? ”

Henry approached Ashley and asked if she was okay.

"Hmm...... My legs..."

Ashley's brow furrowed, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his expression was pained.

Henry hurriedly helped her to sit up, pulled up her trouser leg and looked at it.

"I didn't see the wound, I guess I hit my foot when I jumped down just now."

Henry Tsai looked at it carefully, but found no blood.

"Shhh...... It hurts..."

I don't know if it's because Henry's movements are rude, Ashley's face is about to twist in pain.

"I'm sorry..."

Henry scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's okay, help me up, okay?"

Ashley was in pain, but he didn't blame Henry.

"Oh, good!"

Henry was relieved. This time he paid extra attention, for fear of hurting Ashley again.

"Where does this lead to?"

Ashley reluctantly stood up with Henry's support, looked at the dark passageway, and asked Henry.

"I don't know...... Let's take it one step at a time..."

Henry looked at the rancid, viscous liquid beneath his feet, equally full of concern......
