Chapter 148: A Tragic Night (2)

More and more zombies poured in on the first floor of the lookout, and as people around him continued to escape, Thompson began to feel that there was a serious lack of firepower. Seeing more and more people in the vicinity being pounced on by the zombies, Thompson had no choice but to retreat towards the location of the metal staircase.

The staircase was crowded with people, and everyone scrambled to be the first to climb up. When there were more people, they were stuck between the iron railings and the walls, and everyone couldn't move.

The first floor of the observatory was surrounded by zombies, frantically biting at the fallen living people, screaming incessantly.

Seeing that there was no hope of holding on, Thompson had to give up shooting. He hung his gun behind him, ready to climb up from the side of the staircase while everyone was crowded at the top of the staircase.

A figure fell in front of him, and Thompson looked down to see that it was a woman from the flight attendant crew.

Thompson quickly helped her up, crouched on the ground and said to her, "Ma'am, get on my shoulder and climb up." ”

Christine was helped to her feet, and when she heard Thompson's voice, she quickly stepped on his shoulder, and Thompson stood up and pushed her up. Christine grabbed the railing above her, and as she rolled over, Thompson climbed up, a hand behind her grabbing him, her fingers brushing the heel of his shoe.

"It's dangerous!" Thompson climbed up to the second floor of the lookout with Christine, and if he had slowed down a little longer, he would have been reduced to the rations of the zombies behind him, just like the people who were crowded at the top of the stairs at this time, except for screaming and waiting for death, they could only watch their lives pass by in fear.

"Thompson!" Selena threw herself into the cowboy's arms, her face full of tears, "You really almost scared me to death just now. ”

"It's okay, Selena," Thompson took her in his arms, one hand caressing her back, and comforting her.

Hill looked at the two people hugging each other, and his heart was slightly pantothenic, because she was reminded by Thompson that she and Kim came to the second floor of the lookout in advance, and only then did they escape. At this time, at the moment when she needed protection and care the most, her man was not around.

Kim couldn't feel the bitterness in Ciel's heart, and she was very sad about the dead and the people who were struggling in pain. She clasped her arms and wept quietly, unable to accept the fact that this peaceful and beautiful night had suddenly become a living hell.

A hand bent over her shoulder and took her into his arms. Kim looked up at Dr. Martin who was holding her.

"Don't be sad, my girl," Dr. Martin's voice was calm, and everything below the lookout didn't seem to affect her anything, "you have to get used to days like this, because in later life, these are the order of the day. ”

"Doctor......" King threw himself on Dr. Martin's shoulder and cried loudly, venting the pent-up emotions in his heart these days.

Dr. Martin stood silently in front of the window with his arms around Kim, and several of his colleagues at the Tampa Research Institute had died in the battle below, but compared to the tragedy of the flight attendants, the losses of the scientific researchers were relatively small.

Captain Matt disappeared in the chaos, and if nothing else, his body could only be found in the stomach of the zombie. Of the entire flight attendant crew, except for the four people who went to the Flamingo Visitor Center, Christine was the only one alive.

"Thompson, thank you for saving my life down there," the only remaining flight attendant girl on the second floor of the observatory came to Thompson and thanked him.

"You're welcome, we're partners, and that's what I'm supposed to do." Thompson let go of Selena's hand and said to Christine.

Christine glanced at Selena enviously and stepped aside, not bothering the two of them any more.

"Which of you still has a gun," Dr. Mario asked, looking around.

"I have, doctor." Thompson stepped forward, and he gestured with his gun raised.

"Very good, young man, the defense of the staircase here can only be entrusted to you," Mario pointed to the metal staircase below, "The metal baffle on the second floor doesn't know if it can stop the zombies coming up, so you need to try to suppress the zombies with bullets before Jason and them come back, so as not to let them rush up." When it really doesn't work, we close the baffle again. ”

"Yes, Doctor." Without saying a word, Thompson reached the staircase on the second floor, where he held his gun and aimed it at the zombies gnawing at the bottom of the staircase.

After a burst of gunfire, several zombies fell to the ground, and the gunfire at the staircase attracted more zombies nearby to lean in this direction.

Thompson looked at the magazines he was carrying and decided to change the strafing to burst fire to save bullets. Fortunately, the staircase is narrow and spiraling, which greatly reduces the difficulty of Thompson's defense.

A group of men in camouflage uniforms rushed out from the edge of the lookout, their weapons constantly spewing tongues of fire.

"It's Jason!" Someone on the second floor of the lookout shouted, "The Major is back with someone." ”

Hill threw herself on the window and looked out, and the words of the man next to her made her heart sink to the bottom like a heart booster.

In the crowd, she saw the familiar figure, only to see Jason and a group of soldiers begin to disperse rhythmically to form different formations, and everyone began to shoot at targets in all directions.

The entire lookout platform and plank road were shrouded in gunfire, and fierce gunfire erupted in all corners, with occasional screams, and after a while, they were drowned out in the noisy gunfire.

"What's going on?" Jason kept shooting at his target, and he had a question in his mind from the beginning. On the way from the crocodile farm, they barely saw a few zombies near the road, and this night, why did so many zombies suddenly appear here.

Although the gunshots outside the plank road played a warning role, the zombies that appeared on the two plank roads at the same time caught them off guard. "There must be a conspiracy," Jason thought to himself, but he couldn't find the time to sort it out right now.

The corpses on the ground were shocking, and Jason looked towards the second floor of the observation deck, and he was relieved to see Dr. Mario and Dr. Martin in front of the window, and then he saw Hill in front of the window.

Jason was relieved that important people were still alive, which was a blessing in misfortune.

The sound of gunfire at the staircase caught Jason's attention, and after paying attention to the battle there, he decisively led the team to the front. After killing the zombies below, they finally managed to come to the second floor to join everyone.

"Doctor, I'm relieved to see you're okay," Jason said to Mario and Martin, leaving the men below to continue cleaning up the remaining zombies from the lookout.

Jason's arrival relieved the survivors on the second floor, and everyone's hanging hearts were relaxed.

Looking at Ciel's resentful eyes, Jason walked over and hugged her in his arms.

"It's all right, baby." As soon as Jason's words fell, Hill had already buried his head in his arms, crying like a child.

The battle lasted more than an hour before it ended, and it wasn't until Sergeant Stephen returned with someone to report back to Jason that Jason didn't know the whole story.

They had been plotted, and the people who had plotted against them had taken away their trucks loaded with supplies.

With a "bang", Jason's fist slammed into the railing next to the plank road, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Can you see how many people there are on the other side?" ”

"There are very few people to watch," Stephen said, "and the other party is hiding in the shadows, and when we were about to clean up the zombies on the plank road, they attacked a wave, and there were several brothers ......."

"Blood debt and blood payment!" Jason squeezed the words out between his teeth, his eyes already angry as if they were about to burst into flames. "Find out where they are, I want them to die so much that they can't die anymore."

"They left four box trucks, and these zombies should have been brought here by truck," Stephen's next words made Jason stunned for a moment.

"What do you say, these zombies were brought by people?" Jason's eyes widened as he asked Stephen.

"This is the only possibility at the moment, Major," Stephen nodded, "this attack is clearly a conspiracy against us, and from the preparations they have made, it is possible that we were targeted by them a few days ago. You know, it takes a lot of time and effort to find and catch so many zombies, and the process is very dangerous. ”

"Perhaps," Jason thought for a moment, "your analysis is not wrong at all from our point of view, but if you look at the problem from just one angle, there is a greater possibility of error." ”

"That's right, Major," Stephen agreed, "my analysis is only a conclusion based on the information currently available. ”

"By the way, Major," Stephen continued, "in the truck they left behind, we found flyers with the Flamingo Visitor Center logo on them. ”

"Flamingo Visitor Center!" Jason's gaze suddenly coalesced, and he thought of his companions who had gone there when they split up during the day, "So, there's a good chance that the people we sent there to find the hospital will be in danger. ”

"Chances are, we found this in the same place where the attacker was hiding before," Stephen said, pulling out a couple of shell casings.

"The cartridge case of the M4 carbine ......," Jason held one of the cartridge casings to his eyes, "could it be that they are holding our weapons?" ”

Steve's silence seemed to confirm Jason's suspicions, and Jason stuffed the bullet casings into his coat pocket and ordered the people around him, "Line up and recount, follow me, and stay behind." ”

“1!”

“2!”

……

"Steve," Jason said, staring into the sergeant's eyes, "you and your brother are staying to protect the Doctor, and remember to keep them safe." ”

"Yes, Major," Steve saluted Jason, "come with me." ”

"Come here," Jason shouted to the soldiers, "come with me and slaughter those bastards." ”
