CHAPTER XIX
"Okay, everybody, get moving! Hurry up, we're leaving, check if you have everything with you! ”
Henry clapped his hands and reminded everyone to get everything ready and ready to go.
Everyone wanted to get out of here early, but they were still worried about the approaching departure... André helped the students clean up, but he noticed that the children all looked worried and some were even scared.
André walked up to the trembling student, hugged him and encouraged him. In this way, he went one by one to calm the emotions of the other students, hoping that they would overcome their fears.
He threw a look at Henry, who understood.
"Kids, listen to me... Together, we'll be able to get out safely, trust me! ”
Henry didn't know how to comfort the students, so he had to motivate them in his own way...
At this time, a heavily armed Zach walked over.
"This is the key to the bus, do you remember the way to the parking lot?"
Zach handed the car keys to Henry, who took them and patted him on the shoulder.
"I remember the road... You have to be safe... Gotta live..."
Henry looked at Zach's slightly immature face and instructed seriously. This scene is like a parting of life and death, which makes Zach feel awkward.
"It's not like you're going to die, why are you doing this..."
Zach shook the goosebumps off his body and walked away.
Henry looked at Zach's back and silently prayed for him in his heart, hoping that he would be safe.
Just as Henry was praying for Zack, a hand tapped him on the shoulder from behind. He was startled and turned his head to see Ashley standing behind him for some time.
"You... What are you doing here? ”
Henry knew that he was weak, so he was a little nervous when he spoke.
"Why can't I come?" Ashley tilted his head to look at Henry.
"Oh, I didn't mean that... I mean..."
Henry seemed to lose his ability to speak in an instant.
"Alright... I forgive you..."Ashley looked at Henry, who looked embarrassed, and suddenly laughed.
"yes... That's wonderful—" Henry was overjoyed to hear Ashley forgive himself.
"Don't be too happy! Forgiveness is forgiveness for you, but it's not over yet..."Ashley saw that Henry was a little "overdone" with joy, so he immediately struck.
"Okay... Yes... As long as you're not angry. Oh, by the way, what are you looking for me? Henry ended the small talk and got back to business.
"Aren't you going to drive away the zombies, I'll go with you!" Ashley also returned to normal, speaking out what he meant.
"You're going with me?!" Henry clearly did not expect her to bring up the topic.
"Didn't you invite me to come with you before, what's the matter, this will change the hexagram?" Ashley frowned and asked rhetorically.
"That's not it... I was a little anxious to invite you before. I'm mainly worried about your safety, it's dangerous to be a bait. I'm okay to get out alone, plus you, I'm afraid ......"
Henry's words were not finished, but the meaning was already clear.
"You think I'm holding you back, don't be so arrogant! I don't know who is protecting whom..."
Ashley felt that he was "disliked", and instantly became angry and fought back without hesitation.
After speaking, he didn't give Henry a chance to talk back, and left directly. Henry's first instinct was to catch up, but it occurred to him that he had something to tell the others.
"Is everyone ready?!"
Henry returned to Andre and the others and questioned everyone.
"All set!" The students, including Andrei, replied in unison.
"Good, very good! Then you go to the roof of the apartment and wait, I'll attract as many zombies as I can, and then Zach you can run to the other side when you see the right time. The others should not be idle, and use guns to cover Zach to protect him. ”
Henry looked at Zach as he spoke, paused, and continued.
"When Zach is done with his work, you guys throw the rope over. And Zack, all you have to do is fix the rope and then everyone climbs along the rope one by one, don't be afraid! ”
Henry said as he cheered everyone on.
"I'll take the zombies around in circles to relieve your stress. Then I'll find an opportunity to get out and join you. It's all clear, right?! ”
Andre and his students both responded, and Henry nodded in satisfaction.
"Time waits for no one, let's go!" Henry ended the conversation simply and crisply.
After the discussion, Andre and the students set off towards the apartment with the necessary belongings, led by Zack.
There were no accidents along the way, and the scattered zombies were all dealt with. Eventually, Zach and his party arrived at the roof of the apartment, and Andre tied the rope to the roof of the building to be on the safe side.
This rope is mainly composed of a climbing rope, and several ordinary ropes are also wrapped around it, so it is still very strong.
The heavy rain that began in the evening still has no intention of stopping, but is getting heavier and heavier. Although the temperature during this time is not very low, after all, it is night and heavy rain, so everyone still feels a little cold.
Andrei didn't find anything like a raincoat in the warehouse, so everyone's clothes were already wet. A few female students were shivering from the cold, and the students around her leaned over and hugged each other to keep warm.
Zach, on the other hand, crouched on the edge of the roof. It doesn't seem to feel cold at all, and even an expression of excitement appears on his face...
After Henry had told Andre to tell them, he went to find Ashley. She was finally found in the parking lot, and when she was found, she was standing next to the bus from before.
"So you're here... Let me find it well..."
Henry gasped and said to her.
"You gave them all the guns, you don't have any guns to use, do you?" Ashley ignored Henry's words and asked him instead.
"What else can I do?"
Henry spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's rare for someone like you," Ashley lamented.
"Don't talk about it, it's time to go!" Henry said he was going to start.
"Here's it."
Ashley sighed slightly, then pulled out a pistol from his back and handed it to Henry.
"Keep the gun, don't give it to me." Henry didn't answer, and gently pushed Ashley's hand back.
"I still have a gun... This holds you! At this time, Ashley took out a second gun from his back with his other hand, and shook it in front of Henry's eyes as if "showing off".
"How many guns are you hiding?" Henry asked with a smile and a shake of his head.
"Just these two—" Ashley said there were no other guns.
"Okay, let's go!" Henry loaded the pistol and inserted it into the belt around his waist.
"Let's go!" Ashley also learned from Henry to load the gun, then put it away and get into the car with Henry......
