Chapter 229: Not Bad!
Dark night, in the dusk of the school bus.
The girl Maggie looked at the pistol that was thrown on her, slowly stretched out her hand, and picked it up, basically everyone living in the last days has been exposed to guns, and the same is true for girls like Maggie, she can see that although this gun has no magazine, it has a bullet in the chamber.
Don Guy gave her a pistol with only one bullet, and the meaning was already obvious.
Kill yourself!
Maggie has always been a bystander, watching her father and some other people plot to kill, watching them act, and finally watching them kill one by one, she can say innocent, but she can't say that it is entirely.
Don Ji didn't kill her with his own hands, and he didn't let anyone kill her, maybe he couldn't find a good reason, but of course he couldn't take Maggie out of here, or even let Maggie leave, because his men killed Maggie's father, and Maggie watched her father be killed, and that alone was enough for Don Ji to leave her behind.
No one is a saint, no one can watch their beloved father be killed and be indifferent, let go of hatred, this is impossible, neither is Maggie, she is like a time bomb, take her, let her go, she can cause harm to people for revenge.
A sixteen-year-old girl, neither too old nor too small, Don Ji has no doubt that a person with hatred in her heart will do something she has never done, the potential of people is endless, but it is difficult for Don Ji to make up his mind to kill Maggie with his own hands.
Maggie, who had been crying, finally stopped crying, she held the pistol, lowered her head and gently stroked the body of the gun with her other hand, the cold touch stimulated her nerves, she understood what Tang Ji meant, a pistol with only one bullet was not enough to let her get out of this wilderness version of the highway, zombies could appear at any time, Don Ji gave her a gun, definitely not for her to survive, but also did not explicitly let her commit suicide.
Everything still depends on her own choice.
Slowly, Maggie raised her head, looked at the back of Don Ji with her swaying eyes, and slowly raised the cold pistol in her hand.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and Don Ji had already walked to the middle of the carriage, with his back to Maggie, but the shot was not from behind him, but in front of him.
Robbie stood near the car door, slowly lowered the pitch-black pistol in his hand, and a wisp of green smoke quickly drifted from the muzzle, and he killed Maggie.
Don Ji stopped, but he didn't look back, he didn't have to look anymore, he thought about it and knew that Maggie's death must have been miserable, Robbie's murder was usually very thorough, Don Ji knew what was happening behind him at the moment before Robbie raised the muzzle, Maggie did not choose to commit suicide, but aimed the gun at himself.
Tang Ji didn't have a reason to kill Maggie, but Maggie gave him one, compared to the cruelty of suicide to people, he killed was also a relief for Maggie, she knew very well what her ending would be when she raised the pistol with only one bullet, but she still did it, she already had a life and death intention in her heart, and it was not surprising that the girl who was desperate for the end of the world was witnessing her father being killed.
Hatred is not something that can be let go, Maggie is not willing to commit suicide, her death is her choice.
Don Guy gave her a choice, but it was not merciful, because the death of any one person is tragic.
Outside the school bus, the bridge was well ventilated, and a lot of blood had been blown away, Tang Ji stepped off the school bus, turned his head to look at the corpses that had been piled up by the wall in the distance, and took a deep breath, the air still had a salty smell, but it was much better than the dullness in the carriage.
"What's wrong with you?" Monica walked up to Don Guy's side, took Don Guy's hand, turned her head and asked.
"Am I shameless?" Don Guy's answer sounded like a self-teasing one, as it was almost impossible for anyone to formally ask such a question, but Monica still heard a serious flavor in Don Guy's words.
"That's right, it's shameless, if it were me, I would definitely kill her right away, instead of trying to find another reason like you." Monica is still so outspoken, she now understands that as long as she follows Don Quix's meaning, no matter what she says, Don Ji will not be angry.
Monica's words also sound like a joke, but in fact, she is telling Don Guy that he is too mother-in-law and that Monica can find many reasons to kill Maggie, but Don Guy feels that it is not enough.
This night, after experiencing the twists and turns in the early stage, it was calm, no ill-intentioned people appeared again, and there were no zombies to disturb, the bridge and cave because of the willingness of the structure, the terrain was very low, even if there was a gunshot, the sound would not spread too far after it was transmitted.
As early as before dark, Don Ji and Robbie had a simple search around them, making some noises, but they didn't lead out zombies, zombies don't know how to hide themselves, if there are really zombies nearby, it is impossible not to be lured out, so Tang Ji didn't take everyone to a sleeping place after the matter was resolved, it is too dangerous to drive at night, it is better to stay here, and the possibility of encountering zombies is much lower.
Of course, Tang Ji can't be completely assured, so many people didn't sleep well this night, some have their own concerns, and some need to take turns to keep vigil, so that if there is an abnormality, it can be predicted in advance.
………………
In the second half of the night there was a rain, light rain, and it didn't take long for it to stop.
It was another early morning, outside the bridge cave, dew slid down the grass, insects chirped in the grass, and a new day began.
At about seven o'clock, Don Ji woke up in the car on time, he slept in the back seat of the SUV, the back seat was folded down to be a bed for resting, his fingers scratched the corners of his eyes, Don Ji sat up from the chair, looked out the window, and saw at first glance a large blood stain on the ground outside that had dried up.
After getting out of the car, Don Ji greeted Ba Song, who was in charge of the last vigil, and walked to the corpses again, just by the wall not far away, not very far from the off-road vehicle, holding a gun, looking at the corpses that had begun to decay, and then turning his head to look around, he began to walk towards the outside of the bridge, because the terrain was low, a lot of rainwater poured into the bridge, the ground was very slippery, and Tang Ji walked slowly.
The time was almost up, and the others were up one by one.
At about half past seven, the three cars left the bridge hole, boarded Interstate 95, and continued to travel southwest New Jersey, the C-type school bus, the nine bodies, were left under the bridge, and it is unknown how long it will take to be found.
Along Interstate 95, not far ahead, the three cars were on a side road that is also part of Interstate 95, and after a short drive, crossing the overpass, the three cars were officially on Interstate 280.
As soon as he drove onto Interstate 280, in the distance, Tang Ji, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the Mercedes Benz SUV in front of him, saw the highway toll booth through the window, and there was a small parking lot next to the toll booth, on which several cars that seemed to have not been touched in months.
The toll booth was not blocked, because the usual traffic flow was not very dense, so the three cars of Tang Ji and the others were not hindered, nor did they stop, and quickly drove past the toll booth and continued to move towards the southwest.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, the three cars entered a city called Harrison, New Jersey, next to Newark, one of New Jersey's more famous cities.
As they approached the city, the three cars slowed down, making it quieter and easier to observe.
"There are zombies!" Robbie, who was driving, slowed down and tilted his head to say to Tang Ji, he saw that near the gate of a factory in the distance in front of him, there were more than a dozen zombies wandering, which looked very small, but looking at the body, it was definitely zombies, zombies rarely haunt alone, there may be a large group of zombies nearby, if you keep walking along Interstate 280, you may encounter it.
"I saw it, it's okay......" Don Ji said to Robbie, then took out the walkie-talkie and called, "Aven, set it up!" ”
The three cars had been changed and stopped, and the zombies in the distance didn't seem to notice the situation, still wandering, and the car behind had been replaced by Sarah, and Evan was not in the off-road vehicle.
After getting Tang Ji's notice, Ai Wen quickly got off the school bus, carrying a black backpack in his hand, and under the escort of Ba Song, he walked to the abandoned car on the side of the road, opened the car door and got in, and after arranging the car, he carried the empty black backpack and returned to the school bus with Ba Song.
"Monica, you go ahead! Sarah, keep your distance! Through the rearview mirror, Tang Ji kept observing Aiwen's movements, and when he saw that Aiwen was back in the car, he picked up the walkie-talkie and commanded again.
The three cars started again, and Monica drove the school bus around the SUV where Don Guy was and walked in front, followed by Robbie's SUV, and then Sarah.
The three cars were on the road, and they increased their speed, did not change their route, still driving on Interstate 280, heading southwest, and did not go far before they attracted the attention of the zombies, and the terrifying roars and screams rose out, because there were almost no skyscrapers here, the buildings were about four or five floors, and the restrictions on sound were very small, and the roars spread far away, and the sound of zombies echoing was heard in the factories and residential areas on both sides of the road.
The three cars accelerated again, and soon after, there were zombies crashing into the car, and the tooth-aching cracking sound sounded outside the car one after another, it was the sound of zombie bones shattering, some zombies were hit with broken tendons, flying out and falling to the ground, although they were not dead, it was difficult to get up, and some zombies were directly crushed.
Tang Ji didn't look at the scene outside the car, now the car he was in was not in the front, if there was a problem outside, someone would naturally inform him, he had lowered his head and was looking at the map in his hand, after all, anything could happen in the end times, he couldn't calculate everything and do everything, so he took out the map now, and tried his best to imagine the various contingency measures after the accident.
According to the map, as long as the three cars drive along Interstate 280 for another four kilometers, they will board the overpass, the back of the overpass is a bridge across the river, across the Pasaik River, although the width of the river is only about two hundred meters, but it can completely limit the path of the zombie pursuit to that bridge, although the zombies can water, but they will not cross the water easily, Tang Ji has long discovered this, so ...... You can rely on this bridge to escape, leaving the zombies in Harrison's area completely behind, because the zombies can't outrun the car.
The three cars galloped all the way, breaking through the "blockade line" formed by the zombies, but there were more and more zombies, no one knew how many zombies there were in this area, looking out of the car window, almost everywhere, they rushed out of those buildings and rushed onto the road, some zombies were run over by cars and died, and some were left behind by cars.
Zombies began to gather more and more, following behind the road, a large area of Wuyang, roaring and chasing, they really can't catch up with the car, but it doesn't mean that they don't chase, as long as there are new zombies around, then according to the herd effect, the roar of the new zombies will attract the zombies who have been thrown far away, and they will not give up.
After galloping for three kilometers, the three cars boarded the overpass, the speed slowed down a little, the zombies behind were still surging, but the new zombies could not emerge from both sides of the car, because the overpass was very high, they could not fly up, and the zombies behind were still following.
The overpass twisted and turned, and after a few small turns, the bridge across the river was already in sight, and the group of zombies that had just formed behind it was also thrown farther and farther away, and they also stepped onto the overpass, still not giving up the chase.
Soon after, three cars safely boarded the bridge across the river, which was only 200 meters above the river, which was very short and could be crossed in an instant for a fast-moving car.
"Don, zombies, there's a zombie group ahead!" Manila's terrifying screams suddenly came over the intercom, and she sat in the passenger seat of the school bus, which was driving at the front.
"Got it!" Tang Ji was still calm, responded to the doctor, then shook his head at Robbie and said, "Go ahead!" ”
He wanted to see what was ahead.
Robbie quickly overtook and drove the SUV to the front of the school bus, and Donji didn't see the zombie horde that Manila was talking about, he frowned, picked up the binoculars and looked out the window.
"Oh...... Damn it! Tang Ji pulled out a long voice in his mouth and cursed, he saw the zombie group that Manila said, Manila was obviously also looking at it with a telescope in the car, because he had just gotten off the bridge, he could see far away, Tang Ji could see that a kilometer away, on Interstate Highway 280, and between the buildings next to it, there was a very large group of zombies, so big that Tang Ji couldn't see the edge at a glance.
And just when Tang Ji was observing the distance, in the telescope, the zombies at the front of the huge zombie group suddenly roared, and then the roars became one, and those zombies seemed to feel something, maybe the roar of the zombies on the bank of the river was heard by them, and they roared fiercely, running madly in the direction of the bridge.
With a distance of less than a kilometer, it doesn't take two minutes for zombies to run.
After the pursuit, there was an interception in front...... It's dangerous! (To be continued.) )
