28. Look for Sophia

In the sunset, Lu Feiyang and the three of them returned to the highway. Seeing Luffy and them coming back, but there was no Sophia, Carol, who had been guarding the edge of the high-speed guardrail, said helplessly: "Didn't you find Sophia?" ”

Luffy had little experience in dealing with a mother who was about to get out of control, so neither he nor Daryl were open-minded. Rick comforted Carol, who was about to cry, and said, "We found Sophia's tracks, but then she was frightened by the zombies and ran deep into the woods, and after we followed them, her tracks disappeared. We decided to look for it tomorrow morning. ”

At this time, the others also found out that Luffy Yang had returned, and they all came over. Carol clasped her hands to her chest and cried, "You can't leave my daughter alone in the wilderness overnight!" ”

Daryl said: "It's dark, there's no way to find it!" If you don't pay attention, more people will get lost. ”

Carol's instinct as a mother made her unable to reassure, and although she knew that Daryl's words made sense, she still cried and said sadly: "But she can't live alone in the woods at night." She's only 12 years old! ”

Rick walked into Carol and tried to make her feel less sad, "We all know that Sophia is in the woods, we searched for a long time, but in the end her tracks were destroyed by zombies, although we killed this zombie, but we really didn't find any clues about Sophia nearby." Plus, it's getting late, so we'll have to look for it tomorrow. ”

"There are zombies? OMG! Hearing Rick say that he killed the zombies, Carol was even more anxious. began to spin in circles.

Seeing that Carol's mood had gotten worse, Rick hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Sophia wasn't scratched by this zombie!" ”

Carol's eyes lit up and she said, "How do you know?" ”

"Because they dissected the zombies!" It was Luffy Yang who spoke, he could understand Carol's mood, but when they came back from this afternoon's rush, they didn't even drink a sip of water, although they were very thirsty, but Luffy Yang still patiently answered Carol's words.

Listening to Luffy's answer, Carol finally sat down and said, "Oh my God! How can you leave Sophia there alone? ”

Seeing that Carol was struggling with a question, Rick said with a headache: "There were 2 zombies chasing us at the time, and I lured the zombies away." No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen! ”

But Carol was obsessed, and only muttered, "My little darling is ...... alone in the woods." ”

The next day, Luffy put the knives he found on the hood of a car, and Rick said, "Let's go find Sophia, everyone get a weapon!" ”

Andrea said, "Wait, why don't you give us a gun?" Where's my gun? ”

Sean said: "William prevents some people from shooting indiscriminately when they hear the slightest movement, this time I will go to find someone, only me and Rick, Daryl, and Luther will bring guns, and each of you will choose a knife!" ”

Andrea said, "The gun is mine!" A gift from my father, you have no right to take my gun away without my consent! ”

Sean leaned on the body of the RV and said, "If there is a large group of zombies nearby when someone shoots, then we are finished, so you better forget it." ”

Seeing that Andrea stopped talking, Daryl began to plan her trip to find Sophia today: "We walked along the river, 5 kilometers upstream, and then turned around and walked back from the other side, Sophia is probably by the river, because it is the only place she is familiar with. ”

After Daryl arranged the trip, Rick said, "Then everyone stay quiet, be vigilant, keep your distance, but don't leave the eyes of others." And, Dell. You continue to fix the car, hoping that by the time we come back, the car will be ready to go. ”

Dale said to Rick, "Leave it to me, good luck to you!" Get Sophia back. ”

At the time of departure, it was originally arranged for Rick's son Carl to wait in the RV with Dale and the injured T-boy to wait for everyone to come back, but Carl had to follow everyone and didn't want to stay on the highway and wait for the others to come back.

Led by Luffy and Daryl, everyone came to the zombie that was dissected yesterday. After a night's rest, Luffy Yang didn't have such a big reaction to this cup of Daryl and the zombie they dissected, pointing to the zombie and saying, "We have been finding this place yesterday, but the front was messed up by the zombies, and it was getting late, so after we didn't find Sophia's clothes in the stomach of this zombie, we went back." ”

Since Sophia's traces were cleared by the zombies, Luffy had no choice but to follow in Daryl's footsteps. Soon Daryl led Luffy to find a tent in the woods, looking at the tent not far away, Daryl motioned for everyone to squat down and said, "Let's go, Sophia may be inside." But we also need to be prepared to have other things in there. ”

Daryl cautiously approached the tent and whispered, "Sophia, are you inside?" Your mother is here, we're all here, we're all coming for you. Sofia? ”

Never hearing an answer from the tent, Daryl gently unzipped the tent, and suddenly a fermented corpse smell poured out of the tent, causing all the Luffy and others who were outside the tent to cough repeatedly. After a few coughs, Daryl held his breath and got into the tent, and after some searching, Daryl came out with a gun.

"What's inside?" Covering his nose, Luffy's voice sounded a little urn-like.

Daryl said calmly, "An anonymous person, just like Jenner, a self-ending person. ”

At this moment, Luffy Yang and the others heard a bell ringing. Everyone looked at each other, and Luffy pointed in the direction where the voice came from and said, "Passed through from there!" ”

"Let's go!" After Daryl finished speaking, he took the lead and ran ahead.

Running out of the woods, the first thing that caught Luffy's eyes was the dense tombstones outside the woods, and in front of the tombstones there were two white huts. Looking at the cottage, Sean said, "I think maybe the white church, with neither a spire nor a bell." ”

Luffy said, "Whatever it is, since there are 2 huts here, then we should go and take a look." ”

"Yes! We're going to take a look. Carol was concerned about this daughter and supported Luffy's opinion.

Seeing that Luffy Yang and Hou Carol insisted on going to the hut to have a look, everyone didn't hesitate and quickly ran to the hut not far away. When they ran from the back of the hut to the front, Luffy and the others also saw a sign standing under a tree in front of the hut that read, "Welcome everyone to the Southern Chapel".

After seeing this sign, Luffy and the others also understood what this place was. Arriving at the door of the chapel, Luffy and Daryl glanced at each other and pushed the door of the chapel open. The sound of the door opening immediately attracted all the zombies in the chapel, and looking at the number of zombies in the chapel, Luffy Yang was taken aback.

I don't know if it was when the virus broke out, the congregation in the chapel was worshipping, and Luffy Yang also saw at a glance that there were no less than 30 zombies in the room, all of them looked like old people. Before the door opened, most of these zombies sat quietly in their chairs, attracted by the sound of Luffy pushing the door open, and they all turned around.

Seeing that there were so many zombies in the chapel, Luffy and the others all tightened their guns. These zombies were attracted by Luffy's human aura, and they all stood up tremblingly. Looking at the appearance of these zombies, Luffy Yang looked back, and after seeing that Daryl and Rick behind him both nodded to him, Luffy raised the revolver in his hand.

Behind Luffy, Rick, Sean, and Daryl also raised their guns.

"Bang" "Bang" "Bang" ...... After a burst of gunfire, these zombies who trembled and wanted to eat Luffy all fell under Luffy's guns.

Just when Luffy killed all the zombies in the chapel and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Bell ......" rang again, startling Luffy and them. Luffy quickly ran outside the house, came to the place where the bell rang, looked at the small horn that was playing the bell under the eaves, Luffy followed the line under the horn and saw that 1.5 meters above the ground, a box was installed on the wall.

Luffy turned off the switch in the box, and the ringing of the bell above his head came to an abrupt end. Looking at Daryl and them coming over, Luffy pointed to the box on the wall and said, "I think, this is a timed alarm clock, and when the time comes, it will ring automatically." ”

Carol said with a disappointed face, "I'm going to go in for a while!" ”

With that, Carol covered her mouth and rushed to the chapel. Listening to the bell ringing, Carol was always full of anticipation and hoped that it was Sophia ringing. But after seeing the timed alarm clock under the eaves, she really understands that her daughter Sophia must not be here. Otherwise, when the bell rings, Sophia can't stop coming to take a look.

In order to prevent Carol from doing stupid things, Rick's family also followed Carol into the chapel. Luffy, along with Daryl, began to patrol around the chapel to prevent any zombies from being attracted by the bell just now and attacking Rick and them in the chapel.

It wasn't until Carol and Rick came out of the chapel that Luffy and Daryl went over for lunch together. After lunch, Sean and Rick went to the side to discuss for a while, then returned to the group and said, "You go back along the river." Darryl you have a lot of experience and you lead the team. Rick and I are in charge of the back, and we'll look for another hour to find it a little more thoroughly. ”

"So, we're separated?" Daryl wondered, "Isn't that okay?" ”

"It's fine." Rick walked up to Sean and said, "We'll catch up." ”

Rick's son Carl stood up at this time and said seriously: "I want to stay too!" Because Sophia is my friend, I'm going to look for her with you! ”

Looking at the serious Carl, Rick and Lori did not refuse his request and agreed to let him stay and look for Sophia together. When Rick and Lori are separated, he tries to give her the pistol, but Lori refuses. At this time, Darryl took out the pistol he had just picked up in the tent in the woods, handed it to Lori and said, "I have a pistol here." ”

Looking at the pistol that Daryl took out, Andrea was very dissatisfied. Her pistol was put away, and when she risked her life to find Sophia, she was not allowed to use it, but when Lori went back and was relatively safe, she was able to get her pistol, which made Andrea very angry.

Walking in the woods, the atmosphere between Lu Feiyang and them was a little awkward. Carol has been silent because she didn't find Sophia; Andrea was dissatisfied that Luo Li could get the gun, but she couldn't get it, so she kept her mouth shut and didn't speak.

When he walked to a fallen tree, Carol suddenly sat down and said, "Shall we go back like this?" Don't look for people anymore? That's your plan? ”

Andrea also burst out of her dissatisfaction, looked at Lori and said, "We walked in the woods with knives and sticks, and I saw your gun!" ”

Listening to Carol and Andrea's accusations, Lori also broke out, she took out the pistol, handed it to Andrea and said, "I've had enough of your eyes!" Okay, you want this gun, don't you? I'll give you the gun. ”

After handing the gun to Andrea, Lori said to Carol, "Carol, I know you're sad, but can you stop complaining about Rick?" You can see Rick's face always looks like he's committed some he's committed some heinous crime. When Sophia escaped, did Rick rush over without hesitation? Sophia's disappearance is not due to Rick not finding her, Rick tells Sophia to hide, and he leaves with 2 zombies. ”

"It's just that Sophia ran into other zombies when she came back, so she disappeared. But can Rick be blamed for this? ”

Carol of Lorry's words has nothing to say, after all, Rick and their mother and daughter are also not related, and they have already risked their lives in order to treat Sophia. And when Sophia was chased by other zombies and disappeared, she kept blaming Rick, which was too unreasonable.
