Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shuddering

On June 1, 2015, eleven days have passed since the outbreak of the end times, although it seems short, but eleven days have been enough to change the whole world, in fact, it has changed on the first day, and eleven days have passed, the change has been more thorough, the whole world is full of cannibalistic zombies, all human beings are hiding in a temporary safe place to survive, and even some frail people have starved to death, not that there is no food in this world, but they do not have the courage to come out and face this cruel world.

New York.

Broken shop windows, streets strewn with bloodstained corpses, crashed cars, toppled billboards, dusty glass, an endless number of wandering zombies, a scene of bleak and dilapidated, the prosperity of the metropolis is no longer there.

In June, the season in New York has entered the summer, the weather is getting hotter, flies and insects are flying, rotting corpses can be seen everywhere, and the stench envelops the whole city, spreading along with the roar of zombies.

Brooklyn, New York, Second Avenue Walmart, 2nd Floor.

"Really not leaving?" Tang Ji looked at Bowen and asked again.

"No, I want to stay here, it's safe and there's something to eat...... Maybe I can ......" Bowen sat on the ground with his hands on his legs, leaning on the shelves and looking up at Tang Ji, he was still reluctant to go, this was what Tang Ji didn't expect, he didn't expect a person to be desperate and scared to this extent, when everyone decided to leave, Bowen actually rejected the advice of his peers, he planned to stay in the Walmart supermarket all the time.

"Dude, hi, what's wrong with you? Let's go together, to the countryside where there are no zombies, it's safe there, anything can happen if you stay here, you should come with us. Jason pulled Bowen's arm, trying to pull Bowen up as he spoke, although he and Bowen had some conflicts at first, but the relationship is still good these days, probably because of the black people, the two can talk when they are fine, he obviously doesn't want Bowen to stay here.

Bowen tilted his arm, broke free of Jason's grip on his hand, lowered his head to look at the ground, and whispered, "I'm not leaving!" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, with a hint of helplessness in extreme incomprehension, and the end times forced people to be abnormal.

"Kid ......"

The kind-hearted Laura wanted to say something more, but old McCla pulled her arm and shook his head at her.

"Good luck!" Don Ji took one last look at Bowen, was the first to turn around and walked away with the gun on his back, and the others immediately followed him, and Laura wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it, just sighed.

"Good luck!" Bowen raised his head and looked at the back of everyone walking towards the freight elevator, shouted in a small voice, slowly turned his head to look out the window, and finally lowered his head again, and the footsteps gradually faded away, and finally only Bowen was left alone.

The second floor of the huge Wal-Mart supermarket, although it was full of food, there was no one else except Bowen, and it gradually lost its voice, quite empty, quiet, and inexplicably sad.

Everyone entered the freight elevator, there was a sound of machines running, everyone reached the negative floor, and after passing through the corridor, Tang Ji unlocked the gate and entered the underground parking lot.

"Quick, Robbie with me, the others get on the truck!" Tang Ji said quickly in a low voice, and started running, he had said these things before, but he repeated them before leaving.

"Be careful!" Maniela grabbed Don Guy's arm and kissed him on the lips.

Soon, old Mike and Laura got into the cab of the truck, Jason, Christine, and Maniela entered the truck to drag the cargo box, the truck is the front of the German MAN **A series, diesel engine, can provide 210 horsepower, with a cargo box of six meters long, two meters wide and two meters high, the theoretical net load is 5.6 tons, and in fact the overload is no problem to reach ten tons.

The outside of the cargo box has become a little hideous, the cargo box is crossed and welded on a row of hunting knives, a small hole is opened every two meters in the higher part of the cargo box, three on one side, six on both sides, and then a skylight is also installed on the cargo box, of course, it is an iron cover, the cargo box has been completely transformed, two folding beds two meters long and half a meter wide, spread out to be a bed, folded up is a chair, respectively, leaning on both sides of the carriage, the folding bed is in the supermarket, the change is to weld it on the carriage, At the same time, seat belts were installed near the carriage, and shelves were welded to the innermost part of the carriage, which was full of food.

For food, Tang Ji and others don't need to take too much, because of the shelf life, the shelf life of many foods is very short in summer, and Tang Ji and others take the most small and high-calorie food, such as chocolate, candy, shrimp chips, nuts, instant noodles, etc., followed by some flour and rice, and some drinks, drinks and drinks, but they don't take too much.

In addition to food and drink, other materials can be found almost anywhere where humans have lived, such as beds, quilts, clothes, etc., so although they have been taken, they have not taken much, in addition to these, there are also things for escape in the last days, such as mobile equipment, hunting knives, fire axes, medicines, ropes and other things.

The fuel tanks of both cars have been filled, the gasoline and diesel are from other vehicles in the parking lot, originally there would have been some trouble starting the car without the car keys without Robbie, although old Mike would have done it, but it would have been troublesome, and Robbie's presence made everything simpler, stealing cars, he was professional.

The two cars started one after another, in front was the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Robbie sat in the driver's seat, his arm stretched out the window and made an OK gesture, and Mike in the cab of the truck also gestured to one, indicating that there was no problem, Robbie could see through the rearview mirror, closed the window, and the two cars set off.

The reason why the off-road vehicle is in front is mainly to take into account the problem of the road, the off-road vehicle is suitable for driving the road, and it is never possible for everyone to know which road is blocked by a group of abandoned cars, only when they arrive, let the farther the car walk in front of the road also has the meaning of exploring the road, so that if the road is blocked, Robbie can also inform Mike in time not to drive in, and the U-turn off-road vehicle is definitely easier than the truck.

On the ground, about two hundred meters away from the Wal-Mart supermarket in a small square, there are not many zombies, scattered and scattered, there is an underground parking lot entrance and exit in the northwest corner of the small square, and soon the roar of the car engine came out from inside, attracting the attention of the zombies, these zombies roared and wandered towards the entrance.

Before the zombies in front of them rushed in and out of the entrance, a jeep SUV rushed out of it, knocked two zombies away, went out of the small square, and headed northwest, followed by a heavy truck.

The two cars drove into the street one after another, and some of the zombies near the Walmart supermarket reacted, screaming and chasing the vehicles, but they definitely couldn't catch up, and they could only be thrown off in the end.

Tang Ji and these people didn't plan to shoot, every zombie deserves to die, but it doesn't make any practical sense to shoot any zombie here, because these zombies can't stop the departure of two cars at all, and there are at least five days' drive from arriving at the predetermined place. Then the bullet has to open the way.

The vehicle kept moving, inside the cargo box of the truck, the holes in the cargo box were open to make the inside light, although it was still a little dim, but it was still possible to see everything clearly, Christine and Maniela sat on the chair with seat belts, Jason sat opposite them, his face was slightly excited because he began to leave, and he kept fiddling with the walkie-talkie in his hand, adjusting the frequency of the walkie-talkie.

"Help us, who will save us!"

Jason's walkie-talkie suddenly let out a cry for help, it was a woman's voice, and the voice was very frightened. This voice was not made by any one of the people of Don Quixy, but by the other survivors. The walkie-talkie used by everyone has a distance of 10 kilometers, that is to say, the walkie-talkie in Jason's hand can receive the voice of any walkie-talkie of the same brand and factory model within a radius of 20 kilometers.

Jason immediately adjusted the frequency, the voice disappeared, and the smile on his face also retracted, this was not the first time he had received the voices of other survivors, there were at least hundreds of thousands of survivors in Brooklyn, everyone wanted to live, everyone wanted someone to save them, but who could act as that savior?

Anyway, Jason can't do it, and neither can Tang Ji and the others, in the face of the shouts of other survivors, Jason can't do anything except mourn, there are too many zombies, it's difficult for him to live, what can he do to save others?

It's not that people's hearts are cold, but that the last days have forced people to change.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

Not long after the vehicle was moving, a gunshot suddenly came from outside the car, and the gunshot, which these people are all very familiar with, was issued by AK47.

Jason in the cargo box stood up suddenly, the carriage shook a little, he grabbed the handrail on the back welding in the cargo box and stood firm, trying to see who was shooting outside through the hole in the back of the cargo box, it should be other survivors, but he couldn't see it, the hole was not big, and the viewing angle was very small.

"What's going on out there?" Jason sat down and fastened his seatbelt, picked up the walkie-talkie, and asked.

Walmart supermarket, not long after the two cars drove out of the underground parking lot, a burst of gunfire rang out, Bowen stood by the window on the second floor with an AK47, smashed the window with a gun, and poured bullets downward, while screaming hysterically, crying with his mouth open, the zombies below were shot a lot by him, but the bullets were quickly finished, and Don Guy didn't leave him many bullets, because he didn't need so much.

"You wretched, all die!" Bowen carried the gun without bullets, and gave a heart-rending final roar at the zombies below, and then jumped from the broken window on the second floor, brandished the butt of the gun in the air and hit the zombies twice, and was drowned in the zombie group.

A few screams, soon disappeared.

He's dead!

Don Ji vaguely saw this scene through the SUV, but he couldn't see who the person was, because the car was far away from the supermarket, but Bowen was the only one in the Walmart supermarket, so he could imagine what was happening.

"What's wrong? Has anyone answered me? Jason in the cargo box spoke into the walkie-talkie again, and he heard a long hissing sound from the walkie-talkie, it was someone holding down the call button but not speaking.

Hiss......

"It's Bowen, he ran out of bullets, jumped off the second floor and committed suicide!" When he finally spoke, it was Tang Ji's voice, speaking very slowly, but his voice was faintly out of tune.

The two cars suddenly became silent, and everyone fell silent, maybe they would face the same fate one day, and a sad feeling filled everyone's heart.

Obviously, Bowen's heart is weak, he can't bear the pressure of the end of the world, despair, helplessness, all kinds of negative emotions have been affecting him, when everyone was going to leave, he didn't follow, he didn't plan to live in the supermarket, he had lost the courage to live, death, for him was a relief.

Sometimes, it is much harder to live than to die, and in a world where there is no tomorrow, many people will choose to end their lives by themselves, and Bowen is just one of them.

Suicide is a relief for those who have no hope of living, but for those who are struggling, in addition to sadness, it is more ...... Shudder!
