Chapter X
"So you guys are planning to leave the restaurant. Where are you going, take me? ”
Mike unwittingly came up behind Ashley and put a gun to her head, trying to coerce Ashley to take him with him.
After being held to the head by a gun, Ashley is also afraid that Mike will do something unexpected.
So he raised his hands and signaled that he had no weapons. She tried to turn around, but was stopped by Mike.
"Mike, you have to calm down, don't do stupid things."
Ashley turned his back to Mike, his words slightly pleading.
And Morris, who was walking in front, was also taken aback by Mike's sudden appearance, and he wanted to do something. But he had no choice but to have a weapon in his hand that could compete with it, so he had to give up.
"Say it! Where exactly do you want to go? ”
Mike got impatient and urged Ashley.
"We... We're going to go to that mall not far away..."
After a fierce mental struggle, Ashley decided to tell the location to prevent Mike from acting irrationally.
"Mall? That mall? You say..."
Mike was obviously not satisfied with Ashley's answer, and wanted to go on to ask for the exact location of the mall.
But before he could finish his sentence, he was stopped from behind.
It turned out that after Jimmy had finished preparing on the rooftop, he checked again out of caution and found something missing.
So he searched on the rooftop, but he couldn't find it after looking for a long time, so he planned to give up.
Just then, Ashley and Morris arrive on the rooftop, and Jimmy wants to go out to meet them.
But the alert Jimmy hears the faint footsteps behind Ashley. In order not to startle the snake, Jimmy hid.
Later, he saw that Mike wanted to be unfavorable to Ashley, so he quietly touched Mike's rear and smashed his head with the ** of a shotgun, knocking him unconscious at once.
"You two go first, I'll tie this man up, and then I'll follow you."
Morris saw Mike, who was stunned, and took the initiative to stand up and ask for the aftermath. Jimmy looked at Morris and nodded, agreeing.
"Everything is ready, we can go."
Jimmy turned to Ashley and said he was ready, and Ashley nodded solemnly.
Jimmy let out an "um", then pulled out the strip of cloth that had been tied to the rope earlier, and the blood stains on the strip were faintly visible.
He removed the gauze from his hand, revealing a wound. Jimmy gritted his teeth and cut another wound with his knife, and blood dripped out and Jimmy was connected to the strip of cloth.
Jimmy bandaged his hands again, then placed the bloody strip of cloth on the far right side of the main entrance of the restaurant, and tied the other end to the iron bar on the edge of the rooftop.
Then immediately beckoned Ashley and Morris and asked them to dozzle themselves with disinfectant to temporarily eliminate the smell from their bodies.
Morris also tied up Mike, took the bottle of disinfectant from Ashley's hand, and poured it on himself.
The three men who had done all this stood above the back door of the restaurant, waiting for the "madmen" to gather towards the blood-stained strips of cloth.
After a while, there were basically no "crazy people" in the alley where the back door was located, and at the same time, almost all the "crazy people" on the street gathered at the front door of the restaurant, and only a few lonely ones were circling in place.
Jimmy saw that the time was almost up, then pulled out another rope and tied it up, and lowered it down the rooftop.
Jimmy put the shotgun away, took a crowbar from his backpack, and shook it casually, which seemed to fit perfectly.
"I'll go down first, Ashley, you go down second, and Maurice will be the queen. Remember to be quiet and try not to fight them, okay? ”
Jimmy whispered to the two, and neither Ashley nor Morris objected.
Jimmy looked at the alley and the street, tightened his belt, and pinned the crowbar to his waist. Then he turned around and slowly walked down the rope.
They walked for two or three minutes at a distance of just a few meters, for fear of attracting their attention.
Eventually, Jimmy descended to the ground, and the small sound he made when he landed did not alarm the "madmen".
He stood there for a moment, noticing that they didn't move, as if they hadn't noticed him.
Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to beckon to Ashley, signaling that she could come down.
Jimmy pulled out the crowbar and looked warily ahead.
Ashley and Morris also descended to the ground, making very small noises.
They stood behind Jimmy, waiting for Jimmy's instructions.
Jimmy didn't speak, just pointed his finger at the two monsters at the end of the alley. Ashley and Morris also saw them in the direction of their fingers, and suddenly lost their minds.
Jimmy knew they didn't know what to do, so he slashed his hand across his neck, made a "killing" gesture, and then told them to hit them on the head with the guy in his hand.
Maurice understood Jimmy's words and nodded. Ashley, on the other hand, shook his head at this time, indicating that he couldn't.
Seeing this, Jimmy patted Ashley on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards the two "crazy men".
Jimmy slowly came behind them, step by step, with their backs to Jimmy, and the smell of disinfectant on their bodies did not allow them to notice Jimmy for the time being.
Jimmy raised his crowbar and slammed it into one of them's head. The blow took Jimmy almost half of his strength, but it still didn't kill him.
The "madman" who had been smashed had noticed Jimmy and screamed at him. The roar caught the attention of the other "madman", who lunged at Jimmy as well.
In desperation, Jimmy smashed the "madman" who was knocked to the ground several times in succession, and finally killed it.
But by this time the other had already arrived in front of him, and he threw himself down.
Jimmy held the crowbar sideways in front of him and pressed it against its throat, preventing it from biting into himself.
As Jimmy "wrestles" with it, Ashley suddenly appears and shoots a nail into its head at close range with a nail gun, causing it to collapse.
Jimmy pushed it aside and stood up with Ashley's help.
If Ashley hadn't come in time to save himself, I don't know what would have happened.
Jimmy thanked Ashley, who held up his nail gun and shook it, smiling "smugly".
Next, the three of them continued to walk across the street.
Along the way, there were sporadic "madmen" blocking the way, but they were all brought down by the combined efforts of the three of them.
After an unknown amount of time, the three of them were about to arrive at the door of the mall.
A "pop" of gunfire pierced the silence of the night.
Mike, who didn't know when he woke up, broke free from the rope that was tied to him.
Looking at the three people who walked away, Mike angrily took out *** and shot in the direction of the three people fleeing.
Morris, who was walking at the rear, was shot in the shin and fell to the ground.
When Jimmy and Ashley hear the gunshot, they quickly crouch down to prevent themselves from being shot. When he turned around, he was shot in the leg by Morris, so he quickly ran to Morris's side, trying to help him continue walking.
"Go ahead and leave me alone. I can't walk anymore, let's go! Here they are! ”
Morris's calf was bleeding all the time, and his pale face motioned for Ashley and Jimmy to leave.
Jimmy really wanted to take the injured Morris with him, but a large number of zombies had already surrounded him, and if he didn't leave, he really couldn't leave.
Jimmy took Maurice's hand, looked at him regretfully, and nodded heavily at him. And Maurice seemed to have seen it away, smiling and nodding.
Jimmy grabbed Ashley's hand, and the two of them ran in the direction of the mall.
At this time, the zombies frantically pounced on Morris.
A scream came from behind him, and Jimmy and Ashley had no time to be sad.
Because their situation was also not good, the loud gunfire attracted the attention of almost all the zombies in the vicinity, and there happened to be several zombies blocking their path.
Jimmy threw away the crowbar in his hand and took the shotgun back out and loaded it. Ashley gripped the nail gun tightly, her white fingers and trembling hands showing her fear.
Jimmy is constantly shooting zombies and clearing the road. A bullet fired, and a zombie fell to the ground. Just as he was changing bullets, a tall zombie pounced.
Fortunately, Jimmy had already changed the bullet, but due to the interference of the zombies, the bullet was crooked. Jimmy had no choice but to fight the tall zombie hand-to-hand with **, and the fatal thing was that the bullet that flew hit the fuel tank of a car.
There was a loud "bang" and the explosion of the car that was hit.
The huge shockwave knocked Jimmy and Ashley to the ground, and the zombies around them immediately rushed up, blocking Ashley and Jimmy.
Jimmy struggled to his feet, and after the bullets ran out of the crowbar, he didn't know where to go, and he had to face the growing number of zombies with his bare hands.
Originally, he wanted to run over to find Ashley, but the road ahead was blocked by zombies, and he couldn't cross it at all.
Jimmy didn't want to die, but he didn't have any choice at this point...
Ashley was knocked to the ground by the explosion, his head was stunned, and his eyes were ghosted.
She managed to stand up with her hands on the ground, and the nail gun in her hand was also thrown aside.
Ash shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself. She searched for her uncle, only to find that Jimmy had been surrounded by zombies.
Ashley became more and more anxious when he saw his uncle in danger. She was about to run in the direction of her uncle to save him, but a pair of big hands wrapped around her and prevented her from saving her uncle.
Ashley wanted to break free, but the other party's strength was too strong and there was no way to get out.
She could only watch her uncle Jimmy get swallowed up by zombies little by little, but she couldn't do anything herself.
"Nope! No! Uncle, uncle! ”
Ashley let out a heart-rending cry, reaching out to grab something, but couldn't.
