Chapter Seventy-Eight: Straight to Chrysler
The narrow streets, the ground is full of zombies, the smell of blood is thick, and the smell of gunsmoke has not yet dissipated.
Laura walked in the direction of the truck in despair, covered in blood, both from the zombie dog that had sprayed her before and the one that had just been sprayed.
"Auntie......" Jason cried softly as he walked over to Laura, took her arm, and whispered.
Laura slowly raised her head, turned her head to look at Jason, her eyes gradually focused, looking at Jason's sad and nervous face, the gun in her hand snapped to the ground, her hand trembled and raised, her eyes flashed to look at Jason, and gently stroked Jason's side face.
Jason ...... Mike is gone......" Laura hugged Jason, who was a little taller than herself, and put her head in Jason's arms, crying suppressedly.
At dusk, in the dilapidated streets, blood and death are intertwined, and the woman who has just lost her husband hugs her only relative at this time, hiding her face and crying bitterly.
Anyone who sees this scene will not feel good in their hearts, even Ba Song, who has just been in contact with everyone for a short time, he closed his eyes with his hands folded, and muttered something that others did not understand, as if he was praying for something.
…………………………
Twenty minutes later.
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded in the street, and a Mercedes SUV rushed into the street, Don Ji picked up the binoculars and looked at the intersection, and then signaled to everyone not to be nervous, it was Robbie.
Soon, the SUV squeaked and stopped near the truck, and it was clear that there were several bullet holes in the body, and the windshield on one side was shattered, but Robbie was okay and jumped out of the car.
Robbie's clothes also had bullet holes, and there were traces of bullets piercing his chest, front and back, Tang Ji frowned slightly: "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, pistol bullets." Robbie shook his head and walked to the back of the truck and tossed the travel bag containing the guns and bullets.
"Oh!" Tang Ji responded quickly, and didn't ask again, since leaving the military store, everyone has worn bulletproof vests, which can protect the torso part of the human body, but at most it can only protect against the attack of pistol bullets, rifle bullets can't be prevented at all, and even if they are worn, it is inevitable that the bullet hurts on it, and some people who are in poor health may also be fractured by the penetrating force of the bullet, but Robbie is of course not among them.
Don Quiz was not surprised that Robbie was shot, because the other party was Marlos.
Marlos, before the end of the world, can be called a hero, and after the end of the world, as long as he does not die, he is still a hero, across the American underground world for 20 years, Marlos has long gathered a group of die-hard subordinates, and the ability is extremely strong, after the outbreak of the end times, as long as a few immortals, these people can help him once again to the top of the "ruler" position.
Tang Ji imagined that since Marlos had escaped the catastrophe of the early end of the world, then in this last day when he had lost his ruling class, he would inevitably establish a more powerful organization than before the end of the world, and maybe he would really become a ruler.
"Mike is dead." Tang Ji was silent for a moment, and looked at Robbie and said slowly.
"What?" Robbie's expression froze, and he subconsciously responded with some disbelief.
Prior to this, after Robbie joined, the people who communicated with him the most, except for Don Guy is Mike, the two would often discuss everything about the car very warmly, Robbie's driving skills are good, Mike's driving skills are excellent, but he has regressed when he is older, and he is not as dare to fight as Robbie, about the car, the two have a lot to communicate, because the quality of driving skills has directly affected their survival chances in the last days.
It can be said that Robbie and Mike have established a friendship between men, which is rare for Robbie, because even before the end of the world, he did not have many friends, but alas, now Mike is dead.
Soon after, next to the Land Rover.
Tang Ji and Robbie looked at the chubby body on the ground, and the atmosphere was depressing.
"He's infected." Tang Ji lowered his eyes and looked at the corpse on the ground and said.
"It's a pity, he's a good guy." Robbie's voice was calm, and he said regretfully.
Five minutes later, a raging flame erupted next to the Land Rover, and Don Ji burned Mike's body, and everyone sat down in the car that had already started, and finally glanced in Mike's direction.
After Tang Ji got into the car, the two cars slowly drove away and slowly left the street full of zombie corpses.
…………………………
Twenty minutes later, in Midtown Manhattan, a zombie-sparse street, the road is extremely wide, skyscrapers rise on both sides, it is dusk, and in the dim sky of the setting sun, two cars drive in from the southern intersection.
It was Robbie who drove the Grand Cherokee in front, Don Guy beside him, and Jonn behind him.
The speed of the two cars was neither fast nor slow, and Tang Ji in the car looked out, and he could already see the white towering building in the distance, which was 319 meters high and had 17 floors.
The Chrysler Building, built in 1926 and completed in 1931, is one of the landmark buildings in New York, the third tallest skyscraper in New York, after the Empire State Building and the Bank of America Tower near the site of the World Trade Center in New York after 9/11, and has been rated as one of the most popular buildings in the United States.
The Chrysler Building is undoubtedly majestic, and in Manhattan, where skyscrapers gather, it is also the most top-notch existence, even if it is a few streets away, and according to Robbie, Marlos and others gathered in the Chrysler Building, Marlos seems to have regarded the Chrysler Building as his post-apocalyptic base camp, and many people have gathered around him at this time, and he also noticed at that time that there are a lot of zombie corpses outside the building, which should have been deliberately cleaned up by Marlos and others.
"This guy probably wants to rule Manhattan." When talking about Maros, Robbie once joked, but after saying that, Robbie suddenly felt that it was not a joke at all, in the last days, Marlos, who has always been extremely capable and ambitious, is likely to do this kind of thing.
On the same day, Tang Ji and others drove the car into the underground parking lot two streets away from the Chrysler Building, and cleaned up the few zombies in the underground parking lot without much effort.
Don Guy was going to let everyone rest here for the night, because it was already dusk, it was getting dark and it was not suitable to go on the road, and there was still a damn Brooke to solve.
The underground parking lot is dimly lit, and there are only a few lights on in the huge space.
At dinner, the atmosphere was very depressing, Don Ji went to the truck box and stayed with Maneela, Maniela was very depressed, Mike's death had something to do with her, Laura refused to back down half a step in order to protect her, and Mike was infected because of saving Laura, otherwise, in the chaos of the streets at that time, Maneela, who was the first to be seriously injured, must be the first to die.
The night once again shrouded Manhattan, a city that once shone in the dark no longer had the brilliance of the past, and between the skyscrapers, only those sparse lights still proved that there were people alive.
That night, the cargo door was always open, and near the door, everyone pushed several cars in the parking lot, all parked at the door of the truck container, and everyone chose the car at will, and slept in each car and clothes, and Don Guy and Robbie were in charge of keeping vigil.
In fact, Tang Ji didn't sleep much this night, just as he expected, Maniela had an adverse reaction after the blood transfusion, and Maniela spent the whole night in an extremely uncomfortable state, cold sweat flowing, lying on the bed tossing and turning.
Tang Ji has been with her, except for worrying in his heart, there is no other way, the blood has been transfused, Tang Ji has also done what should be done, Tang Ji has also been given the medicine that should be given, whether Maniela can survive on the scene, whether there will be sequelae, can only be resigned to fate.
This night, there were too many people who couldn't sleep, full of different thoughts, and most of them fell asleep in the second half of the night.
Nothing was said all night, nothing happened.
Early in the morning, Don Guy drove out of the underground parking lot alone and headed straight for the Chrysler Building.
