Chapter 68: Surprise
Inside a dilapidated street with a Land Rover being exercised.
"Listen, what's the sound? Did you hear that? Jason suddenly raised his hand to his ear and gestured.
"What?" Maneela, who was sitting in the back of the car and clutching the armrest behind the front chair, looked up nonchalantly and responded, thinking about things a little absent-mindedly.
"The sound of brakes" Old Mike in front of him suddenly interjected, raised his hand and lowered the brim of the cap on his head, and said: "From the street next to me, it seems that someone has arrived at the truck one step ahead of us, but I don't know if they can start the car." As he spoke, the corners of Mike's mouth hooked upward, not as if he was too worried.
About two minutes later, Mike drove through the extremely uneven street, turning into an old street where trucks were parked.
Through the windshield, everyone could see that on the road ahead, two cars were still parked there, and there was another Ford SUV next to it, parked sideways next to the truck, and next to the German MAN truck and the Jeep Grand Cherokee were standing two people, a man and a woman, because the distance was too far to see the face clearly, and the surname could only be seen from the body shape and hair.
Both men were leaning over the car, as if to inspect the car, and the door of the truck's cab was still open.
"Look at ......" Old Mike gestured his hand outside, his mouth crooked, and smiled, as if to prove that he was right, it was absolutely impossible for these two people to drive the car away, and it seemed that they did not look like people who knew cars.
Laura glanced at Mike from the side, and Mike was a little ostentatious.
"It's better for everyone to be careful." Qiangen, who was very concerned about her daughter's safety, reminded her in a thick voice, and forced a pistol into Kellydi's hand, Kellyti was a little reluctant to take it, but in this matter, she couldn't resist Qiangen.
"Yes, be careful, everyone!" Jason immediately agreed, glanced at Jon with a hippie smile, and then picked up the binoculars and looked out.
The vehicles kept approaching, and because the street was too narrow and there were a lot of corpses, Mike slowed down.
Although everyone seemed a little happy because they were going to get the car, so they seemed to be indifferent to the two people outside on the surface, but in fact, they were still very vigilant in their hearts, people's hearts were sinister, so before the end of the world, and even more so after the end of the world, they had already experienced it once, and it was impossible not to remember their surnames for a long time.
Everyone had their guns in their hands, even Mike Sr., and they drove with one hand.
Jason held the binoculars and looked out through the front windshield, he could see the appearance of the two people very clearly, very clearly, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, a twenty-something daughter, the image was very poor, the hair was messy, the clothes were very sloppy, some of the necessary ties were not tied, they had heard the sound of the car, they all stood up straight and looked towards the north, the direction the Land Rover came from.
Pale to the point that he couldn't be whiter, his eye sockets were dark, his cheeks were sunken, and he was in a very bad state, and he looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time...... Didn't eat?
"Hey! Mike, park! Stop it! Jason suddenly shouted, never letting go of the telescope in his hand.
Yikes!
Mike slammed the brakes and slammed the steering wheel, the speed of the car was not fast, so it stopped immediately, but because it stopped very suddenly, the others were better, but their bodies shook a little, because there were seat belts tied to their bodies. The two in the back, Christine and Maniela were not so lucky, their bodies rolled directly and hit the backrest of the middle seat, but they didn't suffer much damage, they just knocked a little, it hurt but there was no wound, and Christine also sighed.
"Boy, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you're dead." Mike stopped the car, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and glanced at Jason's face behind him reflected in the rearview mirror, he was still holding the binoculars, and it looked like he hadn't put it down when he braked sharply, and was now facing the side window, looking out in the direction of the truck.
"They have a problem!" Jason said quickly, his expression serious, not at all like a joke.
"What's the problem?" Mike Mashan asked again, his face changed at the same time, and the others listened to Jason's words, and they all picked up the binoculars hanging around their necks and looked out.
"You haven't eaten for a long time, will you eat the food when you see it?" Jason spoke quickly, and after saying this, without waiting for the person next to him to answer, he continued: "Definitely, people are very hungry and look like crazy when they see food, as long as people are like this, we will do this, but they don't!" ”
"And, their faces are nervous." Jason added at the end.
Everyone looked outside with binoculars, and sure enough, as Jason said, it looked like a person who hadn't eaten for a long time, but he didn't eat, checking the car? Needless to say, what are the odds that a woman and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy will know how to know a car.
What's more, their faces were really nervous, and they were even more nervous when they saw the car, not at all like they should be when they saw other survivors, Mike and the others didn't show a threat yet, they just stopped the car, they shouldn't have such expressions.
The reason why Jason can see that they have a problem, in addition to having enough brains, is also because of a subconscious, if he doesn't have food around him now, he doesn't have a sense of security at all, and it can't be said that he has this kind of thought alone, and everyone else is too, the end of the world, food is the second biggest obstacle to human survival in addition to zombies, and everyone after the end of the world has been worried about food.
He knew how much was in the truck, and he knew how long it hadn't been since the brakes, and he had even just thought in his mind that those who arrived first would be in a hurry to get those weapons and food, and then he would think about how to drive away, and maybe when he passed, he could still see them stuffing their mouths full of food.
But he didn't see or see them with weapons, and a few thoughts flashed through Jason's mind, and he was startled.
What does this mean? Why are they like this? Laura put down her binoculars and asked hesitantly, turning her head and scanning everyone in the car. Laura is kind-hearted, she is not young anymore, she is not used to always thinking badly about people, and the two boys and women who are children in her opinion, they are not pretending to have eaten for a few days, and they are not making movies with makeup props or something, their complexion is really bad.
Such two people who are about to starve to death have such a posture that makes people see the problem, what are they for?
With their physical state, even if they harbor some evil intentions, what can they do?
"Hey!" The woman standing by the truck on the street suddenly shouted and waved in the direction of the Land Rover, her expression panicked and anxious, as if she wanted the car to drive over.
Everyone in the Land Rover car hesitated, of course they didn't dare to get out of the car rashly if there was a problem, they all quieted down, you look at me and I look at you, and I can't say why, some things don't understand some details, it's difficult to figure it out.
"Let's go down, be careful, it'll be fine." Old Mike was silent for a while, and said helplessly, you can't keep spending here just because these two people are a little strange, the truck is already close at hand, you have to get it, maybe it's just thinking too much, it's nothing.
As he spoke, Old Mike unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get out of the car.
"Wait!" Maniela at the end of the car suddenly shouted, everyone stopped and looked over, Maniela shook the walkie-talkie in her hand and smiled a little embarrassed.
Everyone understands the meaning of shaking the walkie-talkie, naturally it is looking for Tang Ji, and the reason why Maniela laughs awkwardly is because her little bit of caution has already been seen through by others, she wants to talk to Tang Ji, she has been holding back for a long time, and now she finally has "business" to talk to.
Everyone immediately turned their heads back and leaned back in their chairs as if they were waiting for you to finish, and Old Mike coughed lightly and closed the door that had been pushed open slightly.
"Don!" Maniela shouted into the intercom.
"Whoa...... I'm here! "First, there was a burst of electric sound, and Tang Ji's voice came out of the walkie-talkie, which was a little blurry, there were too many skyscrapers in Manhattan, which had a great impact on the walkie-talkie signal.
"We have a problem here...... Maniela hesitated, she didn't know if it was a problem or not, but after the end of the world, people's nerves are too sensitive, and if Jason hadn't found out something, now that everyone was driving over, there might be nothing.
"What's the problem?" The signal was a little better, and Tang Ji's voice was clearer, and his tone was much heavier.
"We're ...... here," Maniela quickly explained.
"Wow...... They haven't eaten for a long time...... Not eating...... Standing by the car and pretending to be tested, there is a woman? Because the signal was sometimes good and bad, Don Kei repeated the main details he had heard and confirmed.
"Yes!" Maniela responded, squatting down and straightening up, holding the back of the chair in front of her with the other hand, her eyes swept over the people in the car, and everyone was preparing again, with their hands on the door, because Tanji's answer was likely to be something like "be careful, be careful", and after he finished speaking, everyone was able to get out of the car.
The sound ......of electricity flashed over the walkie-talkie, and Tang Ji was silent, he should be thinking.
"Bait!" Don Ji's voice reappeared, and the tone was a little weird.
"Bait?" Maniela immediately asked urgently, and the others lowered their hands from the car door and turned their heads to look over.
"Somebody has done that...... It could be him this time. Tang Ji's voice was a little chilled.
"Who?"
"Brooke ......"
For the last time, Tang Ji still remembers it vividly.
Last time, he was easily subdued by Brooke because he was attracted to the attention of the woman upstairs.
