Chapter 269 Survivors

Sitting in "prison" for a month continuously did not make Moore's health worse. Although the food provided by the federation to them was not delicious, it was still nutritious. Moore was not a hypocritical person. Like now.

There were still two kilometers to go from the town, but it was getting very late, so we had no choice but to find a relatively secluded place on the roadside and light a fire.

A snake was strung on a wooden stick, and the snake's skin was already burnt black. Moore was sitting leisurely on the ground beside him, studying the map in his hand.

After a few minutes, he put away the map, pulled out the wooden stick stuck in the ground, took out two small cans from the bag, and sprinkled a layer of snake meat on top.

"Hi~huhu~."

He took a bite with satisfaction. It had been a long time since he had eaten meat. There was some food in his backpack that Diana had prepared for him before leaving. It was just enough to fill his stomach. In terms of taste, it was definitely not as good as game.

"Pfft, pfft."

Moore leaned against the tree trunk enjoying himself. Although the movement of his mouth did not stop, his ears were also paying attention to the surrounding situation. His years of wild survival experience made him very adaptable to this environment.

The weather was getting colder. At this time, Moore made a small bed with dead branches and leaves under his body, and a cordon was set up around it. He could hear any walking corpse approaching.

Feeling the warmth from the fire, eating game that he had not eaten for a long time, and feeling the breeze blowing through the woods, Moore showed a rare expression of enjoyment.

"Phew, I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time. It feels so good to be free."

Looking at the snake meat in his hand, he bit it hard, tore a piece of meat into his mouth, and although the seasoning was very simple, he still ate it with gusto.

rustle……

A faint sound not far away attracted his attention, and he alertly stopped all his movements and listened. Even the chewing movement stopped.

Swish... swish. swish.

Walking corpse? Or human?

Moore's eyes flashed, and he gently put down the snake meat in his hand, and slowly took out a gun from his waist with his other hand. This was what he had found in the past two days. Although there was not a lot of ammunition, it did not prevent him from holding it. Use it to defend yourself.

He leaned to the side and used the tree trunk to block himself as much as possible. A faint sound sounded again. His body jumped up sharply, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed in the direction of the sound.

"Don't shoot! We are alive!"

A woman's voice came, and by the firelight you could see a woman standing not far away, with a child in her arms.

"Put your hands up so I can see, and the kids too."

"Okay... okay, be good, raise your hand and show it to uncle."

Seeing that neither of them had weapons in their hands, Moore waved the muzzle of his gun and motioned them to come to the fire.

"Slow down and don't put your hands down."

"Okay...sir."

After a quick check of the surrounding environment, he found nothing unusual, and then looked back at the big and small, with the gun pointed at them.

"Who else is out there?"

"No...no one left. Just the two of us..."

Moore narrowed his eyes and stared at the woman's face, trying to see any flaws, but the other woman acted normally, but he was suspicious by nature and couldn't just let it go.

After some cross-examination, he still couldn't get any information out of the woman's mouth. He felt a little at ease in his heart. These two people should be ordinary survivors. At this point, he motioned for the other party to sit down.

Only then did he have time to observe the other party carefully. The woman had long dirty blond hair and a dirty face. Judging from the smell she left when she just passed by, the two of them had not taken a shower for a long time.

As for the child, it was much cleaner. The child had been hiding behind the woman, but when she raised her hand, she still saw her face. She was a little girl, probably in her teens, about 1.5 meters tall, but she looked quite She was thin, and she must have been hungry for a long time since she walked to the fire and stared at the snake meat.

"Want to eat?"

The girl nodded, but immediately saw Moll's face, she felt nervous and shook her head quickly.

At this time, the firelight shone on More's face, making his face half-dark. Coupled with his wide grin, he looked like a demon crawling out of hell. The little girl was so scared that she didn't dare to look at him.

The corner of Moore's mouth twitched, and he looked at the big one and the small one speechlessly.

As for that? Am I so scary?

Ever since Moore calmed down his temper and followed Lu Jiayi, his temper has changed a lot. If this were the case in the past, the first thing he would have done when he saw these two people was to plunder each other's supplies and then take them away. The supplies left two people to die.

It's fine if the other party is obedient, but if he doesn't, his life will probably be lost.

He has changed a lot compared to before, but being alone outside made him relax a little, and his previous nature slowly returned.

"If you have nothing to do, get out of here. I see you don't have anything interesting on you."

The expression on the woman's face became desperate, as if she was frightened, but she still did not leave, and her voice became trembling.

"First...sir, can...can you please...help us."

The danger was over, and Moore relaxed a little. He picked up the snake meat on the ground again, patted it with his hand, and continued to bite it.

"What does your matter have to do with me? Don't bother me anymore, otherwise I won't be polite."

Moore said something without raising his head. The woman's body began to tremble, and even the warm light of the bonfire could not hide her pale face.

Plop!

The woman immediately collapsed to the ground, but she soon struggled to kneel there and kept begging. The little girl no longer had the timidity she had just now, and desperately held on to the woman, trying to pull her up.

Seeing the little girl biting her lip to hold back from crying, the woman couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She threw the little girl aside with a flick of her arm, and then rushed to Moll regardless, with the words in her mouth It also became more and more humble.

Moore rolled his eyes, pushed the woman away in annoyance, and then asked in a cold tone.

"I've warned you, don't blame me for being rude if you don't leave."

As he spoke, he took out his pistol and loaded it with a click.

The fear on the woman's face disappeared. After being pushed away, she just sat there and kept begging.

"Sir, I can see that you are a powerful person. We are really desperate. We met this little girl on the road. Her parents are no longer here. If I transform into a corpse, she will be dead. . I beg you, help her.”

As she spoke, the woman opened her collar. Her white neck was bright red, and the wounds around the wounds bitten by the zombies had turned black, just like her mood at this time.

Moll moved his hands for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He hesitated slightly when he looked at the little girl next to the woman. For some reason, a sentence that Lu Jiayi had said to him flashed through his mind.

"I know you don't care about other people, but you have to understand that the most important resource in the apocalypse is people. I don't care about anything else, but I hope you can help me when you face choices in the future."

Moore curled his lips in displeasure, cursing in his mind that he was really unworthy and had been brainwashed by that guy. However, after looking at the panicked look on the little girl's face, he finally gritted his teeth.

"Leave her and go."
