Chapter 176 Departure
Early the next morning, the walking corpses were gone. Only one of them was left at the door, leaning against the wooden fence of the courtyard and sitting on the ground. Motionless, as if completely dead.
Rick wants to go back to his house and take a closer look.
The three of them worked together to quietly remove the wooden planks from the door. Rick put on a clear protective mask and walked out of the house with a baseball bat.
"Are you sure he's really dead?" Rick looked back and asked, "I have to ask again." ”
"It's dead," the black man said, looking at Rick, "except that there's something left in his head, which is why he has to hit the head." ”
The walking corpse heard the movement, turned to look at Rick, and stood up. He was filthy, his skin was a disgusting blue, his face was scarred by the bite and his mouth let out an inhuman growl, and he lunged at Rick.
Rick no longer hesitated. He rushed to the walking corpse and smashed the bat on the walking corpse's head, but the walking corpse just shook unconsciously.
Seeing this, Rick did not dare to relax, and continued to slam the head of the walking corpse hard.
After a few strokes, the walking corpse could no longer stand, and fell to its knees weakly. Rick continued his efforts, raising his bat high and slamming it on top of the walking corpse's head, bringing the walking corpse down completely.
After the walking corpse fell, Rick still didn't dare to relax. He mustered up his strength and made up another stick, and the head of the walking corpse was directly cracked, completely dead.
At the end of the fight, Rick gasped, clutching his wounds and falling to his knees.
"Are you alright?" The way of concern.
"Let me catch my breath." Rick replied tiredly.
After a while, Rick regained his strength, and then he took Akutara and the black father and son into his house.
"My family is still alive." Rick threw away his bloodstained mask, "At least he'll be alive when he's gone." ”
"How do you know?" The black man asked.
"There are empty drawers in the bedroom, and clothes have been taken away, not a lot, but enough for the road." Rick explained.
"Maybe someone stole it." The black man questioned.
"Do you see the picture frame on the wall?" Rick said, "No, I don't see anyone stealing this." ”
With that, Rick opened a cabinet. Flipped a few times.
"All my family's photo albums, family photos, are gone."
Rick's words awakened memories of black people.
"Album......" The black man smiled wryly with tears in his eyes. My wife...... Same...... I'm packing up my survival supplies...... She's holding those albums......"
The black man is grieving, and Rick begins to worry about his wife and children. Akutara wasn't affected in any way, so he comforted the two and told them not to grieve too much.
"Maybe they went to Atlanta." Akutara didn't want to continue brewing a sad atmosphere, and suggested the answer according to the plot he knew.
"I guess I went there." The black man echoed his grief.
"Why did you go there?" Rick asked, confused.
"The government built a shelter there." The black man said, "It's big." At least it was said before the broadcast stopped, the military protected, there was food and shelter...... They called people to go there. Say that's the safest place. ”
"And they still have a place to see a doctor." The black kid added.
"Yes, the CDC says they're looking for a solution." The black man added.
Rick's gaze hardened when he heard this, and he turned and walked into the back room, taking out a bunch of keys from a cabinet.
Akutara breathed a sigh of relief, and things finally developed down according to the plot of the original film.
Next, Rick takes Akutara and the black father and son to the town's police station.
At this time, in the world of the walking dead, the energy has been interrupted for a month. And Rick had just woken up from a coma. It has also been quite a long time since I bathed. So Rick boiled some hot water using the backup butane system in the police station, and everyone took a hot shower comfortably. The joy of the black father and son was palpable, and the black child even sang rap songs. In this apocalyptic world, hot baths have become an unimaginable luxury.
After taking a shower, several people were exhausted. Rick pulls the black kids apart and tries to convince the black people and Sue to go with him to Atlanta.
Even if Rick didn't say anything, Watara had already made up his mind to follow him. The black man was reluctant to leave, and his wife was still roaming the streets.
Next, Rick opens the police station's weapons arsenal and scavenges the guns and bullets inside. Most of the arsenal is filled with pistols and shotguns. With the exception of one, which was a light rifle with a scope, commonly known as a sniper rifle. Rick gave it to the blacks.
The black man is actually Rick's savior. Rick wakes up frail and alone. He still has wounds on his body. He didn't know what was going on in the world and lacked the vigilance he deserved. If it weren't for the black man's rescue, Rick would have died. So despite parting ways, Rick's conscience prevents Rick from ignoring the danger of his benefactor. Rick divided half of the gun among the blacks.
After that, they came to the backyard of the police station.
"Take it." Rick gave the black man a walkie-talkie, "at the dawn of each day." I'll drive for a few minutes, and if you guys go to Atlanta in the future, you can use it to contact me. ”
"Listen," the Negro warned Rick and Watara, "they don't usually act alone, and tend to be in packs, like hungry wolves. Be careful! ”
"Take care!" Akutara solemnly told the black man that he knew how dangerous it was to go it alone.
Just then, a walking corpse in a police uniform staggered towards them through a barbed wire gate.
"Lyon. Bessie. Rick said with emotion, "I know him, careless and stupid. But I can't let him wander like this. ”
Rick pulled out his gun.
"The sound of gunfire will attract more walking corpses," the black man reminded Rick.
"Get out of here before they come." Rick said.
So the black man took the child and drove it. Rick, on the other hand, walked up to Leon and looked at him through the barbed wire. Leon clutched the barbed wire tightly in his hands, his eyes fixed on Rick, his teeth bared, and he let out an inhuman roar.
Rick slowly raised his gun, putting the muzzle of it against Leon's forehead. Leon let the gun be held to his head as if he were screaming at Rick as if he were saying something to Rick.
"Bang!" Blood splattered, Leon's head fell back violently, his hands grasping the barbed wire, his body slowly softened, and finally fell to the ground, no longer alive.
The two cars drove out of the police station and went their separate ways at the intersection. The black man honked his horn in saying goodbye, and Rick responded with two sirens. The two know that in this apocalyptic era, after this separation, there may never be a time to see each other again.
Rick pulls the car to a stop where the half-corpse is located. Akutara knew what he wanted to do. Rick was always like this, his intellect constantly being influenced by his own almost stupid innocence and kindness.
By the time Rick and Watara found her, the Halfling Dead had crawled into the woods.
On the meadow in the forest, there are unknown small flowers, and the golden sunlight shines on the half-body walking corpses on the grass.
The wrinkled, rotten skin, pale blonde hair, blue-black eye circles, missing noses, and bare gums of teeth were no longer terrifying.
The halfling corpse discovers Rick and Watara who have come to her.
She struggled to raise her head and squeezed a few feeble roars out of her throat...... She repeatedly tried to prop up her body, but failed again and again...... She looked at Rick and Kutara and stretched out a hand to them with all her might, as if begging for their help, and a roar in her throat was also like a word of pleading......
"I'm sorry you don't look like this." Rick said sympathetically to the half-corpse.
Then, he pulled out his gun, aimed it at her, and pulled the trigger......
The half-body walking corpse finally stopped moving, lying quietly on the grass, truly at peace.
A gunshot rang out in the distance, as if in response to Rick's shot.
Akutara knew that it was the black man who was shooting the walking corpse in the street with that sniper rifle. Relying on the sound of gunfire, he attracted his wife, who had turned into a walking corpse, and wanted to let her rest again. With tears in his eyes, he vented his emotions by killing the walking corpse. But when his wife appeared in the scope, he couldn't pull the trigger anyway, so he could only cry......
Akutara felt that he should do something, and it was not for nothing that the existence in the dark arranged for him to come to this world. Maybe someone wants him to experience more things in this world, maybe he doesn't know now, but it doesn't matter now, he will live well and find the answer. (To be continued.) )
