Chapter Twenty-Five: A Glimmer of Life? above

"How so?!" Ren Wei felt incredulous. Originally thought that it would be unimpeded, even if one or two monsters were accidentally encountered, they could be solved or thrown off, and finally they could leave the road in Greentown, but there were monsters squatting, and it didn't just appear at an intersection.

"Reasons aside, we can't go as planned." Avril said.

"Wait a minute! Watch over there! It seems to have changed! Charles suddenly pointed in one direction.

Avril and Ren Wei followed Charles's direction and saw the monsters that were originally stationed at the intersection, and suddenly began to attack the nearby buildings in a restless manner.

Some of the residents who did not choose to flee due to their own psychological or physical reasons, but hid in the house after strengthening the door, were found by the monster, some of them were torn by the monster on the spot, and many more began to run out of the building, along the road in the opposite direction of the monster's location - the center of the town - desperately fleeing. Oblivious to the fleeing crowd, the monster continues to destroy buildings and drive away the inhabitants who are hiding.

"Chance!" When Avril saw this scene, she immediately realized that there was hope for them to leave, because compared to the impenetrable wind that the monster had just blocked the road, the current barrier was almost everywhere flawed. So she couldn't help but step on the gas pedal and rushed towards the empty space at the intersection.

Horton drove close behind, and soon the two cars approached the intersection, and saw that they could cross the boulevard and enter the mountain after about 400 meters of advancement, when suddenly, a large number of monsters suddenly appeared on the street less than fifty meters in front of them.

Most of the monsters didn't stay, but even so, the number of monsters that pounced on Zhongshan Road was five or six times more than the number of monsters that had just been stationed at the intersection.

"!" Avril scolded in a foul language without a ladylike demeanor, and used her hands and feet to manipulate the Hummer to turn the car around and not fall into the monster.

Horton didn't go so well, although the frame of the off-road vehicle he drove was not inferior to the Hummer in some aspects, allowing him to keep up with Avril in speed, but after all, it was still a test model, and it inevitably had flaws, such as center of gravity and balance.

Just now, Horton also did the tail flick operation, but the body of the car began to tremble when it was sliding, and the moment it came over, it was almost about to roll over. Horton managed to get under control of the car, but the speed slowed down all of a sudden.

Horton was busy manipulating the frame to steer to speed up, but there was no time at all, the monster was already close in front of him, and he was about to attack them.

At that moment, a loud whistling sound rang out, and then the monster closest to Horton's position bloomed with blood flowers and staggered to the ground.

Horton got this respite and quickly drove away from the monster. When he followed the reputation, he found out that it was Charles who had come out of the back window of the Humvee and used the heavy machine gun in the car to cover him.

Catching up with the Humvee, the two cars went head-to-head away from the intersection. Charles looked thoughtfully at the back of the car as they sped in one direction, and at the monsters smashing and destroying the street.

Driving out of Zhongshan Road, Avril was a little dazed and didn't know where to go.

At this time, Charles reached out and knocked on the roof of the car, and said to Avril in the driver's seat: "Just find a parking lot in the mall to rest, we have to make another plan." ”

The large shopping plaza in the block was easy to find, and Avril pulled the car into the underground parking lot.

In the empty parking lot, everyone got out of the car.

"What's going on? Why did we stop here? Find another way to escape! Kusa asked anxiously, but Fura and the Bimbo she was holding in her arms hadn't said a word since they were almost killed by the monster they had been chasing.

"We can't run around aimlessly, we don't have enough gas and bullets, and judging from what we just encountered, the number of monsters in the town has become even larger, and if we really hit it head-on, it's too late to escape." Charles explained.

"Then we should get out of here right now! There will be more monsters here, and then they will really die! Cusa was even more hysterical when he heard Charles.

When Horton saw Cusa yelling at Charles, he was very upset and pushed him to the ground.

Charles hurriedly stopped Horton's movements.

"Listen to me, if you insist on leaving after I finish speaking, the car belongs to you, and we will not stop it."

Hearing this, Kusa was less emotional.

"When we encountered monsters on our way into the mountains as planned, they were clearly blocking the road, and after a large number of monsters appeared, they began to expel the inhabitants, and judging by the direction they were driving, they were preparing to drive everyone to the center of the town. As for why I'm sure the monsters are evicting the inhabitants, this is evidenced by the anomaly that the monsters focus on destroying buildings, but don't kill people fleeing from buildings to town. Their actions seem to be organized, so not only do these monsters have beastly instincts and hunting intelligence, they may even have bosses, making them more difficult to deal with than we previously thought. This would explain why the straggler-looking monsters suddenly rallied and launched an attack on Grimm in advance of our estimated time. ”

Charleston paused, and then said, "Now they don't let people flee, and then they gather people in the center of town, and although they don't know what they want, whatever it is, we must not do what they think." But if we want to rush out of the town, our current situation is undoubtedly self-defeating, so we can only hide, until the monsters that drove the residents from the periphery move to the vicinity of the town center, and we have a chance to break through the perimeter and escape from here. ”

After Charles finished speaking, he waited for everyone's reaction.

Avril and Houghton had always been convinced by his words; The Cusa family had no opinions, and felt that what Charles said made sense, so they no longer insisted on their own opinions; Only Ren Wei felt that according to Charles's analysis, it seemed that there were still some things missing, but he couldn't say it clearly for a while, so although he frowned, he didn't raise any objections.

"Since you have no opinion, let's take this opportunity to take a break." Charles said. "Avril, Houghton, you two take turns to go to the exit to keep watch, and report if you find any abnormalities."

"Understood! Sir! ”

With the arrangements in place, everyone began to seize the time to recover their strength.

"Mom, I need to go to the toilet." Not long after, Bimbo said to Fura after twisting twice in Fura's arms.

"Bear with me, Mom will take you there." Fura struggled to her feet, holding Binbo in her left hand and walking deeper into the parking lot.

"At very moments, don't go too far, just find a shelter and solve it later." Seeing that his wife and daughter were going to go far away, Kusa reminded him.

When Fura heard Kusa's words, she put her right hand on her forehead and replied with some resentment in her exhaustion: "Okay, I know! ”

Seeing the two of them turn to the back of a nearby pillar, Kusa didn't say anything more, lowered his head and slowly closed his eyes to continue to recuperate.

Suddenly, from behind the pillar came the cry of Binbao, followed by Fura's exclamation, which alarmed everyone present.

Charles and Avril quickly grabbed their guns and rounded up to the point of the incident; When Kusa heard the sound, he sprang to his feet, but he only took two steps forward before he stopped; Ren Wei held the gun in his hand, nervously pointing in the direction where the sound came from.

At this moment, Fula hurried out from behind the pillar with the bloodied Binbao in her arms.

"What's going on?" Kusa asked, a little flustered.

"Binbao fell, and was cut by the parking space lock with a deep wound, and the bleeding couldn't stop!" Fura replied with a little crying.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Ren Wei put down the gun in his hand, and Charles and Avril also walked back.

Coming back to his senses, Kusa angrily yelled at Fura, "How did you do that? Can't you even watch a child? Do you know what scared me out of it?! ”

The blamed Fura also exploded with emotion at this time, screaming: "Why can't I see it well? When she went to the toilet, didn't I let go when I got the place? I've been running for so long, I'm so tired that I'm dying, you're a man, and your physical strength is stronger than mine, why don't you say that you share a little responsibility for taking care of your children, you'll be pointing fingers at the sidelines, you're a wreck......"

"Enough! Shut up! Seeing that the scolding war was intensifying, Avril had to shout to stop.

The Kusa couple were stunned by the murderous Avril Lavigne, and involuntarily quieted down.

Avril signaled to Horton, who had rushed over because of the quarrel, that everything was okay, and then walked up to Fura and bandaged Binbo's injured arm quickly and effectively.

"You guys are so unbelievable! Are you such parents? The children are bleeding, but you are blaming each other! Look, the whole sleeve is dyed red, and there are so many drops on the ground. Avril couldn't help but reproach. I know you've built up a lot of negativity on the run, but you have to learn to adjust, and now is not the time for you to vent at all. What if there was a monster nearby that was lured by your quarrel? There's no terrain to use here, so even if we can kill one, or even two, with our current firepower, can we kill more? Running out of bullets here, what do we have to rely on to break out? ”

Avril said that the Kusa couple had lost their temper in a few words, and then coaxed the red-eyed Binbao, and then returned to Charles, leaned over and whispered, "I'll go and replace Horton." ”

Charles nodded. "Go ahead."

Avril had just gotten up, and before she could turn to leave, she saw Horton running back, and Avril hurriedly caught up with her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Horton said, "I saw a monster appear, I think it's in the vicinity." ”

Hearing this, the Kusa couple's eyes once again showed panic.

"Don't panic! We just have to hide here quietly. This is the mall, and there are no people at all at this time, with the intelligence of those monsters, they will find out after destroying a few buildings, and then they will leave. Charles reassured.

But as soon as the words fell, everyone heard the sound of the engine coming from the opposite direction of Holden, so everyone looked in the other direction.

I saw an SUV with dazzling headlights rushing towards them at a very fast speed.
