Chapter III
"Why do you restrict my personal freedom? I can go wherever I want, do you care?! ”
The couple man yelled at Jimmy emotionally, and at the same time took his girlfriend's hand and increased his strength.
And he didn't notice that his girlfriend's expression had changed a little, obviously because he was hurt by his boyfriend.
But she still couldn't make a sound, but kept shaking her boyfriend's hand, trying to stop him from continuing to make trouble.
"I said that it is best not to leave the restaurant until things are completely figured out, besides, you have also seen the situation outside, what should you do if there is danger after you go out, huh?!"
Jimmy was visibly impatient, and his voice raised a pitch.
Just as the two were "arguing" fiercely, the other customers in the store also came up.
"Do you want to stay here too?!"
When the couple saw that everyone else was coming over, he said to everyone, hoping to get everyone's support.
But the only response to the couple was collective silence, and these people looked at the chaotic scene outside. There were cries everywhere, and people were dying all the time, and it might be better than being outside and indoors.
"Okay, okay, okay, I know what you think. What about you, what do you say? ”
At this time, the couple man obviously lost the "momentum" just now, he calmed down his emotions and looked back at his girlfriend and asked his girlfriend's opinion.
"I ......"
The girlfriend of the couple man was interrupted just as he wanted to say something.
"Look, what about the woman who was attacked? I remember she was there, how could she be gone? ”
The young black girl among the four college students pointed out the window.
After hearing her words, everyone looked out of the window, and after repeated confirmation by everyone, it was true that the woman who had been "attacked" to death before was indeed missing.
"Isn't she dead? Why is the body gone? ”
The continuous questions of the slightly obese working man also made everyone "dumbfounded", and the bad things that happened one after another also made everyone's brains unable to turn for a while.
Just when everyone was confused, Ashley's anxious voice came from the back kitchen, and after hearing the voice, Jimmy quickly pushed everyone away and ran towards the kitchen.
As soon as Jimmy entered the kitchen, he saw Ashley, covered in blood, with tears on his face and his hands tightly pressed against the neck of the man lying on the ground.
Standing next to her was Ashley's hired chef, and lying on the ground was the kitchen's helper.
"What are you doing standing dumbfounded, hurry up and help!"
Jimmy looked at Ashley, who was sweating profusely, and then looked at the chef who was standing motionless next to him, also covered in blood, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated in his heart.
"Here, carry him to the table first!"
Jimmy looked back at the kitchen workbench, got up and pushed all the kitchen utensils on the table to the floor, and beckoned Ashley to carry the man onto the table with the chef.
"Ashley, you press his neck and I'll go find some clean cloth."
After the three of them carried the injured cook onto the table, Jimmy glanced at the dying cook and said to Ashley.
After hearing his uncle Jimmy's instructions, Ashley did as he was told. Jimmy nodded at Ashley, then glanced at Chef Jean before quickly running out of the kitchen.
Everyone in the front hall was filled with curiosity when they saw Jimmy running out of the kitchen and looking for something on the counter.
So everyone moved slowly towards the kitchen, and the black college student who was at the front of the line peeked into the kitchen, then quickly turned his head and retched. The rest of the people also saw the situation in the kitchen one after another.
Suddenly seeing this bloody scene, everyone's expressions were not very good, and the food they had just eaten now felt a little like vomiting.
But one of the crowd didn't show much panic, and he couldn't see how much discomfort he faced.
"Is that lying man hurt, I see a lot of blood, can I go over and help? I... I studied nursing..."
The couple girl who was hiding behind everyone suddenly stood up at this time and asked cautiously.
The others were silent when they heard her words, and some even shook their heads.
Ashley, who was inside, also heard someone whispering at the kitchen door, but was not sure what it was, so she asked again.
The couple woman mustered up the courage and repeated it again.
At this time, Ashley finally heard clearly, and then she hurriedly beckoned the couple girl to come in and help.
"That's all the cloth in the store, let's use it."
Jimmy said as soon as he entered the kitchen.
The couple girl didn't hesitate to take the cloth when she saw Jimmy's hand, and then began to bandage the cook's wound.
Jimmy looked at the movements in the hands of the couple girl, and seemed quite professional, so he didn't say anything, just nodded.
Then he looked at Ashley, who was slightly tired with blood on his face, and gave her a look of motion to come out.
The people who saw the couple and the girl entering the kitchen to help were also scattered to all corners of the restaurant, both standing and sitting, looking out the window uneasily.
At this time, there were only two people at the door of the back kitchen, Ashley and Jimmy, Jimmy took out a few pieces of paper from the counter and handed them to Ashley, Ashley took the paper and wiped the blood and sweat on his face.
"What's going on, did the kitchen also be attacked?"
Jimmy looked at Ashley with a solemn face.
Ashley looked up slowly, didn't say anything but nodded.
"Originally, I was trying to close the back door of the kitchen, but when I came in, I found that the chef was alone and the assistant didn't know where to go. I asked the chef and he said he had gone out to take out the trash. So I hurried to find a cook. ”
Ashley sighed and continued.
"When I got out the back door, I found that the cook had also been injured by the "madman", and I ran to save him, only to have the madman turn around and attack me again. Luckily, there was a chef here, and he was the one who saved my life. ”
Ashley said with trepidation.
"What about that madman, how is he?"
Jimmy then reached out and placed his hand on Ashley's shoulder, motioning for her to relax and speak slowly.
"The chef killed him, and then we dragged the kitchen back and closed the back door."
Ashley reached out and placed her hand on the back of her uncle Jimmy's hand, indicating that she was fine.
"Mm-hmm, you're fine."
Jimmy reassured after making sure that Ashley was not injured.
Jimmy walks to the antechamber and looks around the crowd and realizes that there is one person missing, so he asks the others where the couple man has gone. As a result, the black uncle said that he opened the door and ran out, and everyone did not stop him.
It turned out that the couple man ran out while everyone was not paying attention, and he didn't even close the door when he left. Fortunately, the black uncle found out in time and closed the door to avoid accidents.
In the back kitchen, the couple girl and the head chef are taking care of the injured assistant chef. And the rest of the people, including Ashley and Jimmy, were in the front room.
After a series of events, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted, and at the same time, they were overshadowed by fear.
But what's even more terrifying is that the "madmen" who attack people everywhere outside the door begin to slowly move closer to the restaurant.
It didn't take long for the entire restaurant perimeter to be surrounded.
"What are we going to do now?"
The black girl asked tremblingly.
