Chapter 252: The Second Coming
Stanhope, NJ, Northwest, USA.
On the streets, the leaves are swept in the wind, the air is filled with rancid stench, the dilapidated cars are rolled on the side of the road, the broken shop windows are stained with large patches of dried blood, and the rotting corpses are flying with flies and insects, and the whole street is empty, a bleak scene of the end times.
In the distance, the dull sound of car engines was gradually heard, getting closer and closer, gradually passing through the street, slowly moving away.
It was a silver-gray Mercedes-Benz SUV with dried zombie blood on its body, and it looked like it had just broken out of the encirclement, and the SUV was moving very slowly, as if it was looking for something.
Crossing several streets, the SUV drove to the edge of a large lake in Skone Niekang Creek State Park, northeast of Stanhope, and stopped in front of a freight company, where six people, men and women, all with guns, looked around vigilantly, and walked towards the trucking company, two of whom were carrying small plastic diesel drums, white translucent drums that could be seen in the sunlight, and which were filled with liquid.
Six people entered the large factory building of the freight company, and half an hour later, a medium-sized truck with a load of five tons drove out of the freight company, the speed was very slow, and the four people followed the truck, trotted all the way, ran back to the off-road vehicle, and all got into the car.
Inside the van.
Tang Ji sat in the co-pilot seat with black leather gloves on his hands, his arms folded on his chest, and he squinted at the road ahead of the windshield.
"We're all right!" Monica's voice rang out over the walkie-talkie on his body.
"You go ahead." Tang Ji picked up the walkie-talkie and responded.
Outside the window of the truck, the SUV started again, drove to the front of the truck, and went straight to the Stanhope Public Hospital, the speed of the SUV gradually increased, and Robbie, who was driving the truck, also slowly increased the speed.
Originally, in the past ten days, Robbie had already returned to the lakeside villa because he had to transport various supplies, and had driven a lot of cars back to the lakeside villa, including many trucks that could load scientific instruments, but none of these cars were driven out again, and they were all parked near the lakeside villa.
Because of the problem of fuel, fuel is becoming more and more scarce, whether it is in a metropolis or a small country town, after all, the number of survivors is still a lot, and other large vehicles are driven back to the lake villa because they want to transport supplies, so they must be used, and if you drive a large vehicle to leave the lake house to find supplies, it is a waste, a waste of fuel, and the situation in the last days is obviously that there are more cars and less fuel.
Therefore, in the past ten days, whenever they want to transport supplies back to the lakeside villa, Robbie and Evan choose to drive a small car, bring fuel, and find a car on the spot, so that only the excess fuel consumption required to return can save a lot.
This time it was the same, Stanhope Public Hospital is not far from the lake, and driving a truck from here to the hospital is a lot less fuel than driving a car from the lake villa to the hospital.
Life in the last days is like that, and in some ways, you have to be careful.
After fifteen days, Don Ji came to Stanhope Public Hospital again, the last time it was already dark, he met the zombie baby who almost killed him, and this time, he brought enough manpower to prepare for the zombie baby.
A Mercedes-Benz SUV, a medium-sized truck, and two cars slowly stopped on the side of the road outside Stanhope Public Hospital, and everyone in both cars opened their backpacks, pulled out thick pants and coats from them, and began to put them on.
Soon after, seven people came down from the two cars one after another, in addition to Don Ji and Robbie, there were also Monica, John, Ba Song, Sarah, and Jason, who had just recovered from injury.
Monica didn't get out of the car when she went to the freight company to get the car before, and stayed in the off-road vehicle, and this time, everyone came down, everyone looked a little bloated, wearing thick clothes, pants, and even thick cotton shoe covers on their shoes, and everyone's hands were replaced with metal gloves, which are the metal gloves that Evan has been studying, his research has not been successful, and the metal gloves still can't defend against the most amazing zombie dogs, but it is enough to deal with zombie babies.
On the road outside the hospital, after the bloated people got out of the car, most of them were on guard, Robbie and Jason walked to the back door of the truck, opened the door, Jason jumped into the car, pulled out two thick iron plates on the car, the sound of friction was very harsh, he put one end of the iron plate on the truck, the other end on the ground, forming a slope, and then walked to the inside of the truck.
Not long after, a very low sound sounded in the truck compartment, like the sound of some machine running, the sound was getting closer and closer to the door, so that people outside the car could see that Jason drove a small electric forklift out of the car, and the forklift drove to two iron plates and drove down the slope formed by the iron plates.
Roar!
A zombie roar suddenly came from the end of the street, followed by two echoing roars, and three zombies rushed out of the street intersection one after another and rushed towards the main road in front of the hospital.
"Get out of the way!" Don Ji lowered his voice and shouted, intact left hand shotgun, body retreated to the side of the truck bed, the others did the same, Jason jumped out of the forklift, stood at the end with Robbie, seven people stood in a row next to the car, everyone raised their shotguns.
The speed of zombies is really very fast, but in the daytime their threat has been greatly reduced, if one person encounters multiple zombies at the same time, they may die, but seven people will definitely not, as long as everyone gathers together, wait for the zombies to approach and shoot at the same time, even if they close their eyes, they can be killed, oh no, it should be broken!
However, at this time, everyone has not been forced to that point, leaning next to the car is a means of defense, first the direction of attack of the zombies, to prevent accidents, to really kill them, there is no need for seven people at all, one person is enough.
After the seven men were standing, Robbie walked out with a shotgun.
He was at the front, of course, the first target, and of course the three zombies that ran ran all ran towards him, the first zombie ran into a range of twenty meters from Robbie, followed by the second and third......
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Three gunshots rang out in a row, and with the sputtering of the bullet casings, the three zombies fell to the ground, their heads were blown out, and dark red objects were scattered all over the ground.
"The zombies are coming, let's hurry!" Tang Ji glanced around and said, the sound of the shotgun is not low, in fact, Robbie can use a pistol just now, a pistol with a silencer, two pistols to kill humanoid zombies who can't dodge, it's no problem at all, it's just not as easy as the original class, but Tang Ji didn't let him use it, one is that the shotgun is safer, and it is also in the plan to attract zombies.
Soon, Tang Ji and the others took out a simple modified helmet from the off-road vehicle, which could protect their necks, and wore them all on their heads except Robbie, and then a group of six people walked briskly towards the hospital, Jon still carried an oil drum in his hand, Jason drove a small electric forklift to the end, and slowly drove into the hospital, because the forklifts were all solid tires, so they ignored all broken glass.
Robbie was left outside by Don Guy and he still had a mission.
"Zombie babies aren't attracted to sound, we don't need to deliberately attract them to appear, just follow the plan, they can't hurt us!" After entering the hospital hall, Don Ji casually instructed, because he was wearing a helmet, his voice was very dull, and then the six people were divided into two groups, Tang Ji took Ba Song, Monica, and Sarah along the stairs to the upper floor, and Jon, who was carrying an oil drum, and Jason, who was driving a small forklift, went in the other direction.
The surname of the zombie babies is very unique, completely different from other zombies, which Tang Ji speculated based on everything that happened that day, first of all, they are not attracted by sound, they know how to hide from humans, and when they will attack, no one knows, and secondly, they will not leave the hospital.
This is very interesting, but after various deductions, Tang Ji determined that they really will not leave the hospital, how many babies can there be in a hometown hospital on the day of the outbreak of the end times, you don't have to think about it, you know, it will definitely not be too much, because the population in the vicinity is not much, and the hospital as a place with medical equipment and medicines, there will definitely be no fewer survivors who will come here to look for supplies, but more than three months after the outbreak of the end times, they are still in the hospital, there are still a lot of them, and no one has seen zombie babies anywhere except the hospital, This is completely unreasonable.
So there is only one explanation, probably because this is where they were born, and they became zombies not long after they were born, so they treat the hospital as a nest and will not leave.
"Goo!"
"Do you hear that?" Tang Ji, who had just walked to the third floor with a few people, stopped, raised his hand and pointed around, and said.
Several people around him nodded, and they all heard the voice, a strange scream.
"Leave them alone, let's go!" Tang Ji had a way, and continued to walk upstairs with the people.
Roar! Roar! Hiss.........
After a few steps, everyone had just ascended the stairs leading to the fourth floor, and the roar of humanoid zombies sounded outside the hospital, Tang Ji made a gesture, and led everyone to retreat, walked to the end of the corridor on the side, looked out of the window, and could clearly see that many zombies were attracted by the previous shotgun gunshots, ran to the vicinity of the hospital, and were converging in the direction of Robbie, and Robbie had already entered the Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle, and the car was also started and was waiting.
"Robbie is always reassuring!" Monica, who was standing next to Donji, said, her voice muffled because she was wearing a helmet.
"yes!" Tang Ji responded, turned around and patted Sarah's shoulder on the side, and said with a smile: "You found a good man!" Then he waved his hand at the crowd and walked towards the staircase.
Coo-goo-goo......
At this moment, it may be that Tang Ji's voices were too unscrupulous, and when the few people walked upstairs again, there were cooing sounds from the depths of the corridor on the third floor, Tang Ji had experienced it, so he understood that this was a precursor to their attack.
"They're coming!" Tang Ji stopped again, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and pulled out a sharp dagger full thirty centimeters long from his waist, and the others did the same, without using hot weapons, they all took out daggers, stood at the top of the stairs, and began to wait.
