Chapter 32: The Way Home (2)
The lights on the side of the road seemed to be even dimmer, and Kim and Hill continued to run forward as they bypassed the cars that stood in their way. Still trailing a few zombies behind him, Kim felt like he was about to lose his strength......
"Kim, hold on, there's the church ahead, we can hide in it." Ciel encouraged Kim not to be discouraged as he took her hand and led her to quicken the pace.
The white door of the church appeared in front of the two of them, and nearby zombies found Kim and Hill and surrounded them. Hill ran up the steps of the church door, and Kim stumbled and fell on the steps. Hill picked up Kim and pushed hard against the church door. The door locked, and a drop of sweat slid down Ciel's forehead and onto the steps, shattering into a tiny splash.
Kim threw herself on the door, screaming and banging on the door, the nearest zombies were already on the verge of the steps, and Hill sat on the ground with his back to the door, his face like ashes.
The door behind him creaked open, and Kim and Ciel, who were leaning on the door, fell into the door together, and a few hands stretched out from inside, dragging the two inside, and the door closed immediately, blocking the zombies from the door.
The church was brightly lit, and there were about twenty people inside, including a few children. Next to Kim stood two sturdy black men in security uniforms, and Kim knew that they had just been pulled in.
Hill was about to speak, when one of the security guards gestured to him quietly.
Kim and Ciel found a place to sit in the corner against the wall, and they looked around them to see that they were also looking at them. A young man leaned over and whispered hello to Kim and Ciel, "Hey, I'm Thompson, hello." ”
"Hello," Kim and Hill responded together.
"It's all the people who escaped from the Baltimore Hotel, including me," Thompson said, "God forbid, I'm so glad we're still alive." ”
"It's hell out there," Hill muttered, staring blankly ahead.
The black security guard stared at him, and Thompson was about to speak, but quickly held back his words, and the three of them leaned against the wall silently. Fatigue set in, Kim and Hill slowly fell asleep, snoring began to be heard from the rest of the hall, and two security guards took turns standing guard, one of whom was already asleep.
In the middle of the night, a loud cry came from the sleeping crowd, and the entire church hall instantly boiled like boiling water. The spirit was tense all day, and everyone was uncertain about the future, and they didn't know when they would die. This will suddenly wake up, and the spirit is already on the verge of collapse. This situation happened from time to time in ancient military camps, and the professional name was called "camp roar".
The crowd scrambled to crawl up, adults and children alike were crying and howling, and some people began to run towards the gate. Two security guards tried to contain the chaos, but the chaotic crowd swept them away. The gate was opened, and the crowd ran out of the door following the person at the front, as if everyone had forgotten that the inside was the safe place.
Kim and Ciel were dragged through the crowd and rushed out the door together. The nearby zombies all gathered under the attraction of the sound and launched an attack on the chaotic crowd. Kim and Hill saw Thompson in the crowd, and as the only person in the group who knew him, the two had an inexplicable trust in him at the moment. Kim and Ciel followed Thompson outside, their minds blank, their only thoughts being as far away from the crowd as possible. Gradually, the cacophony fell behind them, and after running for some reason, Kim and Hill followed Thompson into a car parked on the road.
The car started and headed for Route 106.
By the time the car hit Route 106, the sky had turned white. Thompson kept his eyes on the road in front of him, avoiding obstacles in front of him from time to time. On the way, several zombies were knocked out by him, got up from the ground again, and followed the car.
Soon after, the car suddenly stopped on the road.
“FUCK!” Thompson slammed his hands into the steering wheel.
"We have to get out of the car, the fuel tank is empty." Thompson turned to the two girls in the back row and said, "The zombies haven't come around yet." ”
The three of them ran out of the car, and Kim and Hill fell to the ground and got to the bottom of the car, following Thompson's example.
Thompson was lying at the bottom of another car next to him, and he looked at the two girls on this side, and several pairs of feet appeared in his sight. The zombies had gathered around the car, slamming on the door and looking inside.
Thompson put his index finger to his mouth and gestured "shh
Through the gap between the side of the car and the ground, only the feet of the zombies outside could be seen, and the zombies did not go far after seeing that there was no one in the car, but just wandered aimlessly nearby.
The sun is rising and the temperature is starting to get hot. I don't know how long it took for the sound of wheels rolling in Thompson's ears on the ground. Thompson whispered to the girl under the car opposite, "There's a car coming, let's run out together, I'll count three, okay?" ”
Kim and Ciel nodded.
"One".
"Two".
"Three"!
The three of them quickly climbed out of the car and ran in the direction where the sound of wheels was heard. The zombies near the car found the three people running out from under the car and immediately chased after them.
Jin Luo was a little physically exhausted at the end, and saw that the nearest zombie was only one step away from her. The zombie chased after Kim and pounced on him.
A muffled gunshot rang out in Kim's ears, and the zombie behind him fell to the ground. Then a burst of gunfire rang out in front of him, and two buses appeared in front of King's eyes, and a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms came out of them.
……
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the bus, and Kim and Hill sat in the last row of the bus. Kim put his hand on his chin and watched the sunset over the sea in the distance outside the window, where several sailboats floated, swaying from side to side by the sea breeze. Kim remembered the Chinese girl she often met at the beach, and her puppy VIVI. The beach is full of memories, like the daily sun, and the wind blows up the sand and dust, covering everything.
Hill thought about school, thought about the home he couldn't go back to, and the family he had lost contact with, tears streaming down his cheeks. Kim took Ciel in his arms and comforted her softly.
Dr. Mario and Dr. Martin were talking quietly, and Jason was staring at the satellite phone next to him, and there was no new news from Tampa, which made him feel a little uneasy.
The bus pulled off Route 106 and turned onto a side road. The trees on both sides of the path began to grow more and more lush, and the view in front of the bus became narrower and narrower. There was silence in the woods by the roadside, and the soldiers stared warily out of their windows.
Half an hour later, the bus stopped in front of an iron gate flanked by a wall about three meters high, which extended into the distance.
Jason comes to the iron door and finds a switch on the wall next to the iron door. Jason entered a code on the switch, and the door retracted into the wall.
Jason waved to the driver of the bus, and the two cars drove in after him.
The iron door slowly closed behind him, closing the last rays of sunlight out.
