CHAPTER XXXIX

"Hello survivors, I'm Tina, the head of the "confinement zone" in the North City. Clinton. The "lock-up zone" is about to close, and no civilians will be accommodated at that time. I hope you will rush to the "confinement zone" as soon as possible, where shelter will be provided. Good luck everyone! ”

In the "confinement zone" radio room in the northern city, Tina put down the megaphone in her hand.

She leaned back in her chair, exhausted from the intense work.

"Sir!" Isn't the "lockup zone" not accessible to civilians? Why is this ......?"

The staff member sitting next to Tina asked cautiously, for fear of upsetting the leader.

"It stands to reason that I did break the rules by doing this, but the situation is different now......"

Tina said worriedly, her hand rubbing back and forth between her eyebrows.

"Everything is working fine here, there's no need to accept them, huh?"

The staff didn't understand what Tina meant, and asked with some curiosity.

"On the surface, there really is no problem, but secretly there is an undercurrent......

Tina said meaningfully, as if she knew the inside story.

"I don't quite understand what you mean......"

After hearing this, the staff became even more confused and planned to continue to ask.

"Alright, just do your job!"

"Yes! Sir! ”

……

The staff returned to their work, while Tina dragged her tired body to rest......

On the other side,

"Ashley, did you hear that? We can take refuge in the "confinement zone"! ”

A middle-aged woman said emotionally, shaking Ashley's arm at the same time.

"I heard ......"

Ashley heard the radio clearly, happy and conflicted.

I am happy because I finally have a place to stay, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. The contradiction is because Henry has not heard any news so far, and it is impossible for her to leave Henry alone.

After Henry took Jim out on a mission, Ashley went to the apartment next to the antique store to recuperate.

There are men and women here, and they are all friendly to Ashley. And the environment here is also good, there is food and drinking water. Under their care, Ashley's leg injury quickly recovered almost well.

After a few days together, Ashley felt that these people could be trusted.

"Ashley, should we take refuge in the "confinement zone"? ”

The middle-aged man who spoke was a couple with the woman just now, and the husband and wife were very kind but had no opinions.

"Right? Shall we go or not? ”

The middle-aged woman also chimed in, as if she regarded Ashley as the "backbone".

"I think ......"

Ashley was about to speak when someone else interrupted him.

"Go! Of course you want to go, if you don't go, will you wait for death here? ”

This is a young man, very nice but just not very nice to speak.

"You know what! Don't make a sound, listen to Ashley! ”

An uncle in his forties behind the young man slapped him on the back of the head, meaning to tell him to shut his mouth.

“……”

The young man was very obedient and silent, as if he was very afraid of this "uncle".

"He has a point, staying here is not a long-term solution!"

Ashley was used to the atmosphere, but on the other hand, she was under pressure.

These people clearly see themselves as "chiefs" and do what they say. But she herself was not as capable of leadership as Henry, and it would not be good if she led them into the ditch.

"Good! We listen to you, do what you say! ”

The middle-aged couple immediately said that they would follow, and the others had no opinion.

"First of all, I'm not as good as Henry. I dare not guarantee your safety, and you have to rely on yourself at the critical moment! ”

Ashley is well aware of her strength, so she can only say ugly things ahead.

"It's okay, we can take responsibility for our actions!"

Although the uncle looks very "honest", he is particularly decisive in speaking and doing things.

"That's right! He's right! ”

"yes, I'm not that weak!"

"If you encounter zombies, then fight with them, it's a big deal!"

……

Everyone was in high spirits, but the young man made everyone else laugh at his words.

"I'm afraid I'll be scared to pee my pants! Hahaha......"

"I'm going to see how you kill the zombies!"

"Haha......"

……

Even Ashley, who is usually unsmiling, rarely laughed, but it was not a mockery.

"Alright, let's get ready, let's go as soon as possible!"

Ashley quickly returned to normalcy and instructed the group to prepare for their departure.

After all, there is not much time left for Ashley, and if they don't leave early, they will probably not be able to enter the "confinement zone".

Everyone in the apartment hurriedly packed up everything and set off.

However, this trip was far more dangerous than they imagined......

The broadcast from the "confinement zone" was not only received by Ashley and others, but also by many survivors scattered all over the country.

For example, Corey. Stan's son, Zack......

"Looks like they're busy again......"

Zack, who was alone, was wiping his knife at this time, and the corpse of a zombie was lying under his feet.

The two classmates who came out with Zack didn't make it through, and he didn't stop even though he was sad, and still continued to move forward.

Zach was going to the "Lockdown Zone" in the North Side, of course, but how did he find out about it?

Opposite where he was standing was a wall, old and broken. But it can be vaguely seen that there is a line of words on it, which reads: Go to the "confinement area" in Beicheng!

Zach removes his backpack and pulls out an old map from inside. Once the map is unfolded, draw a circle on it with a pencil.

"That's you!"

He tapped with his hand somewhere, and that was where the "confinement zone" was located.

Then he put away his things, picked up his knife, and set off......
