Chapter 351 A Dazed State
"Yo!"
The youngest member of the group, Anglu, was the first to gasp, raising his hands in horror.
Don't bring up the scene where someone suddenly raises a gun and shoots at the woman holding a light machine gun. We're not making a movie; nobody wants to risk their life like that!
There was only one corridor, narrow and straight!
In this environment, if a light machine gun is aimed at you, the enemy only needs to make a slight trigger pull and everyone will die!
As for the counterattack—
Even if you turn around and raise your gun very quickly.
How could I possibly be faster than someone who slightly moves their finger and pulls the trigger?
This is the end of the world. Everyone here has been tempered by the apocalypse. No one will stand still and let the enemy counterattack when they have a crucial advantage, like in the movies.
Now that Anglu is a seasoned veteran, he naturally made the decision that best protected him.
The pistol in his hand did give him a sense of security, but that was not a reason for him to ignore the light machine gun!
And, hehe.
No one in this corridor would think Anglu is shameful.
Because at the very moment that Anglu raised his hands to surrender.
Johnny and Abel immediately abandoned their attack on the armored men.
They both raised their hands in unison, panting heavily, and tried to look quietly at another figure in the distance wearing female armor.
Don't shoot!
Don't shoot!
Although they didn't shout it, they had already said it countless times in their hearts.
Please don't fire the gun impulsively!
Fortunately, the female armored warrior in the distance was very calm. After seeing that no one in the corridor was moving, she stood there steadily and spoke.
"Great, keep it up!"
"Wang Qian! Come here! Tell me what's going on with them! Why were they let in?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the female armored warrior raised her helmet and glared at the male armored warrior in the center of the crowd with her delicate eyebrows and eyes.
Upon hearing this, the male armored warrior remained silent for a moment, then shrugged helplessly, causing his armor plates to sway as he responded softly.
"Ah Yu, these are Johnny and Anglu, do you remember them? They're Sister Leona's family."
"What?!"
In an instant, the female armored warrior called Ayu was completely stunned.
She stared blankly for a full seven or eight seconds before gasping for breath and saying in horror.
"They actually found it! A full hundred days after the apocalypse! Is this a movie?!"
At this point, the female armored warrior took a deep breath and then pointed the muzzle of the light machine gun in her arms toward the ground.
She held the gun there, cautiously continuing in a low voice.
"Well, I've witnessed a truly remarkable story. Since you're willing to travel thousands of miles to find your family, then—I won't mind believing you this once."
"I'm Liu Yu, and that's Wang Qian. We're both friends of Sister Liana, though she only met us after the apocalypse."
"About Sister Leona—Oh my god—I don't know how to say it, because I don't know—whether you can handle it, it's just—God—it's just too much for me!"
At this point, Liu Yu seemed to remember something and couldn't help but gasp again.
Her behavior terrified Johnny so much that he started trembling.
Seeing Liu Yu's dejected face, Johnny's shoulders slumped instantly, and he looked like an old man in the blink of an eye.
As for Anglu, he suddenly took two steps forward, approaching Liu Yu while growling in a low voice.
"Give me an answer, damn it, stop hesitating!"
"On the way back here, my father and I imagined countless possibilities. We were prepared to hear any answer, but please don't torture us with this hesitation!"
"Did you hear me? Whatever happened, tell me, what happened to my mother? Please!!!"
At this point, Anglu stopped about six meters away from Liu Yu, looking directly at her with eyes full of sorrow.
It was only at this moment that Anglu accidentally noticed that the woman in front of him was exceptionally tall, appearing to be about 185 centimeters tall.
Moreover, the man who just fought with them, Wang Qian, was even more terrifyingly tall, at least two meters, almost like a basketball player!
Especially after the two put on their armor, the helmets made them appear even taller.
As for Liu Yu...
Looking at Johnny's helpless figure and Anglu's desperate eyes.
Liu Yu pursed her lips and finally spoke to the anxious father and son.
"It's not as hopeless as you think, it's just—more dramatic."
"Because—just like how you two were willing to cross half of America to find your older sister Leona."
"Elder Sister Leona—she went to find you too—"
Buzz! ! !
At that moment, Johnny felt like he couldn't hear anything anymore.
His vision began to blur uncontrollably.
Anglu instinctively opened his mouth slightly, seemingly lacking even the instinct to breathe through his nose.
As for Liu Yu, she was still there telling the story of Liana.
"She left five weeks ago. During that time, she was practically going crazy because she kept waiting for you, but you never came. So, despite our attempts to stop her, she drove off in the middle of the night."
"I've tried to persuade her many times, but it's no use, because all she cares about are you guys."
"In short, she left her house to the two of us and then left."
"Even we don't know where she is now."
"But she went out to look for you, while you—came back—"
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yu's expression turned sad.
This matter —
Even just standing here, even if Liu Yu only slightly empathized with Johnny and his son's feelings, she couldn't help but feel despair for them.
After all, they had been searching for their relatives for months, and they had already embarked on a journey to find them long before they successfully returned!
This is even more painful and helpless than Leona's death!
And indeed, after getting the answer from Liu Yu, Johnny and the other person froze on the spot.
Abel gasped sharply, then put down his cavalry saber and drew a hallelujah sign on his chest with his right hand.
The corridor fell silent for a full half minute before Wang Qian finally spoke softly.
"Eh—emmm, Sister Leona must still be alive. After all, she's really skilled. She's an excellent marksman and also has beautiful knife skills."
"Anyway—uh, we were cooking, why don't you go to the dining room and rest for a while, and we'll have lunch first?"
"Meow!"
Just as Wang Qian finished speaking, at the end of the corridor, a slightly chubby gray tabby cat with noticeably fuller cheeks suddenly sauntered to Liu Yu's feet.
After rubbing its head against Liu Yu's boots a couple of times, the fat tabby cat raised its head and looked at the people frozen in the distance.
"Meow————"
It meowed again because it wanted to eat. Why would a two-legged creature suddenly run into the hallway to pose and do human art while it was cooking for the cat?
Seriously————
Two-legged creatures without underlying code are truly unfathomable to me.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Texas, nearly ninety kilometers from Union Estate, on the highway leading to Koscana.
Martin, sitting in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and reminded Eugene to slow down, speaking to him while smoking a cigarette.
"This is the Koscana you've been talking about all along? It doesn't look as terrifying as you described from afar. So you escaped from this city and returned safely to the manor?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Martin exhaled a puff of smoke and then put the cigarette out the window, letting the wind scatter the ash.
Meanwhile, in the driver's seat, Eugene grinned widely.
"Of course! Damn it, right on this road, that bastard BOSS, in order to catch up with some drug-addicted lunatic who shot us, floored the gas pedal of Madison's modified Tyrannosaurus Rex!"
"Luckily, this road is the largest highway near Dallas, luckily there are almost no obstacles on it, and luckily the boss's hands on the steering wheel were steady enough that we both survived by sheer luck, and incidentally witnessed that drug-addicted lunatic crash and die!"
"Wait a minute, haha! I see that car from before!"
Eugene suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a vehicle wreckage on the edge of the road in the distance.
Seeing this, Martin looked in the direction Eugene was pointing and then nodded slightly.
"Come on, take me to see that car, and also take me to where the BOSS legend began."
At this point, Martin turned to the back seat and asked Barn, who was sitting there.
"Barn, you brought your camera, right? Let's take some pictures, develop them, and put them in the gallery. The guys in the Alliance love the legendary stories of our leader; they'll love this photo!"
"No problem, that's why I brought my camera!"
Barn responded and casually held up his camera for Martin to see.
After confirming that there was indeed a camera, Martin took a satisfied drag on his cigarette, while Eugene drove the car closer to the wreckage.
After parking, Eugene was the first to push open the car door, get out, and walk to the wreckage. He kicked the wreckage, which was so badly damaged that the brand was no longer recognizable.
"This is it!"
Eugene stood on the wreckage of the vehicle and spoke.
"This beat-up car is a bit faster than the boss's modified Tyrannosaurus Rex, so we had a hard time catching up with them. But they weren't driving steadily enough, and they kept turning around to shoot at us, so they flipped over, haha!"
"My boss and I searched the car and found out that everyone who dies becomes a zombie."
"Mazefak, coming back here again and seeing these things from the past feels like a dream."
"These cold, hard lumps of iron look way better than zombies."
"Come on, help me take a group photo. Cameras are best suited for taking pictures of people. Make me look cool, buddy."
Eugene stepped on the wreckage of the car and casually gave Barn the middle finger.
Barn snapped a couple of photos half-heartedly, then started cursing at Eugene.
"Alright, redhead, that's enough filming, move aside."
97
"I'll take a few more pictures of the individual wreckage."
"And my camera isn't for taking pictures of people. Don't forget, we're here to see the equipment at a mobile home component manufacturing plant near Costa Rica."
"If we can find it, I'll also take pictures of the scene back so the PhDs can study which equipment we should bring back and which equipment we are capable of using."
At this point, Barn found a good angle and took a picture of the individual wreckage.
Eugene nodded and strolled to the side, chuckling, "Ah, Doctor, those astronauts sound really cool. Unlike me, a soldier, compared to them, we've always been risking our lives, hehe."
"Fuck, what are you chuckling about? Envious that PhDs don't have to work so hard? Why the hell didn't you get a PhD? Did you not want to, Eugene?"
Martin patted Eugene's butt and teased him.
Eugene, annoyed, reached out and ruffled Martin's hair roughly, then went to the car to get bread and water, distributing them to the four men who got out.
They were only here to search for equipment, so they didn't bring many people with them.
Recently, more and more people have been building houses in the camp. The American tradition of building castles makes the guys, even if they have large estates to live in, want to move to their own independent space.
The large estate was indeed good, but as the alliance expanded and Gavin's power grew, and the hierarchy of the camp became clearer, things changed.
Many people feel a little awkward when they meet with management, which is why most people want to move away.
In short, a large number of residents have this need, and Gavin, as a leader, needs to address it.
The guys building their own houses is incredibly slow and takes up far too much labor.
So Gavin simply sent Eugene to search along the Costa River.
According to a resident of the alliance, there are two large mobile home component manufacturing centers near the city of Koscana.
Mobile homes are simple houses that can be easily assembled and lived in for at least a decade or more.
If Eugene can be found, then bring a camera and take pictures of the equipment and the existing components of the mobile home.
See which components can be used directly and which equipment is ready for deployment.
Once the relocation of the houses is successfully completed, the guys won't need to put too much effort into building houses for a period of time.
Cutting wood to build houses is a very time-consuming and extremely tiring task. The guys are busy building houses at night, and they don't have much energy for work during the day.
So, they rested next to the drug-addicted god of war's broken-down car and had lunch there.
Eugene and his three companions got into the car and continued their journey.
After three months of development, Costa Rica has undergone tremendous changes. The city's greening has been significantly improved, to the point that even the walls of a few high-rise buildings are covered with fungi, mosses, and other ferns.
The city roads were relatively clear, especially the ring road. Eugene slowly accelerated, passing through the ravaged rich neighborhood while shaking off dozens of pursuing zombies, and merged the car onto the ring road.
Below the highway, a small aggregate stood there. It was a pile of flesh that looked rotten but was actually just putrid. The rotten flesh had not been completely dried and oxidized. It was obvious at a glance that it was an aggregate.
Barn took a picture as he went, and the car slowly drove across the ring road, heading further ahead.
That's the road Gavin came from.
It is also the hometown of Eugene and William.
Eugene will be home soon.
