Chapter 323

Nick's question seemed to arouse the little girl's desire to perform. Her originally angry face quickly returned to normal, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm... let me think about it. Oh, I can't remember clearly, but it must be a lot."

Nick matched the girl's expression of admiration and raised his voice slightly.

"Really? I didn't expect that you look so young, but you are already such a powerful warrior!"

"Of course."

The little girl raised her lips with pride and secretly rolled her eyes at Miguel who was sitting in the passenger seat. Nick secretly laughed at the look on her face and thought to himself that she was really a child who lost her way after a few words of praise.

Seeing that this trick was effective, Nick quickly pressed on and asked a lot of questions about zombies, praising the little girl.

Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, it was already night. Moore and his companions arrived at a small town. Looking at the abandoned houses everywhere, Moore quickly selected one. After a quick cleanup, everyone moved into the house.

"We'll stay here tonight. Alan, Eric, assign people to be on duty, and the rest of you should have a good rest after dinner. We should be able to enter the border of Corn Country tomorrow."

After Moore finished speaking, he took out a bag of food from a bag beside him and walked directly to the supply corner. Without paying any attention to the dust on the ground, he ate the food in a few bites and then lay down.

Jessica patted Nick on the back and pointed to a corner in the living room.

"You can sleep there, take your food, and have a good rest tonight. You don't need to be on duty for the time being."

"Uh, okay."

Nick took a paper package and looked down, and found that it was standard military rations.

Who are these guys?

Why does this thing exist?

Could it be that some military base was found?

All kinds of questions flashed through Nick's mind, but he sat down in the corner calmly and munched on his rations. Nick glanced around again, and then he discovered some details that he had not noticed when he woke up during the day.

These people were all wearing standard military uniforms, and the weapons they carried were also uniform. He didn't know what the standard military weapons were, but he understood that if the other side was just a hastily assembled team, then their weapons could not be so uniform.

Are these people from the army?

With this question in mind, Nick moved his butt and moved closer to Jessica.

"Jessica, can I ask you a question?"

"Hmm?"

Jessica opened her dreamy little eyes and looked at the bad guy who disturbed her sleep with some confusion. The piece of jerky hanging in her mouth fell to the ground.

"Ouch, my jerky!"

The little girl quickly picked up the meat and put it into her mouth without blowing it. After chewing it twice and feeling the rich flavor of the dried meat, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

Nick, with a frown on his face, could only push the other person again, and forced himself to smile awkwardly at the little girl's extremely dissatisfied look.

"What?"

Finally there was a response.

Nick wiped his sweat secretly and asked in a low voice.

"Are these people from the military? I see that everyone has the same equipment and weapons."

"Maybe. I'm not sure. I just joined not long ago. Have you said hello? I'm going to sleep."

"Ah, hey, don't sleep."

…

A man lying on the ground nearby suddenly spoke.

"Kid, go sleep in that corner over there and stop chattering here."

Nick was startled and looked back nervously, and saw a handsome man with short hair looking at him, pointing in the direction of the gate.

At this moment, Nick's nervousness disappeared for the most part. He gave an apologetic smile, stood up and walked over there.

Nick chose a place near the gate and finally lay down. For some reason, there were not many people near the door, and there was a wall between the gate and the hall. At this time, Nick lay quietly in the corner closest to the corner.

Lying on the ground, Nick's eyes were looking around. He was in the shadows now and could not be seen without careful observation.

In order to facilitate the night watch, several night watchmen sat at the windows on both sides of the house. There was only one person in the living room, and the other two were scattered in other rooms.

All that’s left is to wait. As long as I’m patient enough, I can escape tonight!

Nick bit his tongue with his teeth and forced himself to keep his pajamas on, fearing that he would fall asleep without paying attention. Although he was already quite tired, this might be his best chance and he couldn't miss it.

But sleepiness is a very strange thing. Sometimes the more you want to sleep, the harder it is to fall asleep. And when you don’t want to sleep anymore, you often can’t open your eyes.

Just five minutes later, Nick fell asleep.

As time passed, Mimihuhu felt someone kicking him. A thought flashed through his mind, and Nick opened his eyes suddenly.

I...I fell asleep?

Damn, what time is it?

Nick, who was suddenly awakened, did not take any action immediately. He looked at the man who had just kicked him lying on the ground again, and then he looked at the man who was on guard.

The man just sat quietly by the window, leaning on the stool and seemed to be dozing off. He didn't know what time it was, but the snoring sounds all around reminded him that it should be midnight.

Good opportunity!

If Nick were a Yan countryman, he would definitely sigh and say, if he doesn't leave now, when will he leave?

He crept up stealthily, crawled on all fours around the corner, and the gate appeared in front of him.

Nick's heart was in his throat. He reached out and pressed the door handle. After two years of corrosion in the apocalypse, the mechanism of the door handle had become somewhat rusty. When he pressed it, there was a squeak of metal friction.

Nick felt his heart beating faster and faster. He knew that if he was caught at this moment, he would have no way to explain himself. So he decided to go all out. He pressed hard, quickly created a gap and got out.

After closing the door casually, Nick ran into the alley next to him like a nimble fish returning to the water. He seemed to be very familiar with the place. He turned around and around in the town and then ran out of the town and ran along the path to the distance.

Just as Nick left, several dark shadows had quietly followed him. They were wearing zombie masks on their heads. They were Maul and Negan.

"Hehe, little guy thought he performed flawlessly, but he is still a little naive if he wants to fight me."

"I think he just wanted to protect his settlement, and he closed the door when he left, which at least proves that he didn't want to harm us."

"Then we have to follow them and find out their background. Just because he doesn't want to harm us doesn't mean others don't want to harm us."

“…”

"Yes, we must be careful in everything. Haven't we seen enough tragedies?"

Listening to the daily bickering between Maul and Negan, Alan couldn't help but interject, and then the atmosphere suddenly became cold. None of the three spoke, and they just hung closely behind Nick.

About an hour later, Nick finally arrived at another not-so-big village. The sky was already getting light, and the outline of a building model lake could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Nick rushed into the village without hesitation, and the guards there just greeted him.

Three people hiding in the corner of the wall in the distance poked their heads out. Moore picked up the telescope and observed for a while, then picked up the walkie-talkie at his waist.

"Shasha...little girl, are you ready over there?"

"It's been a long time since I last saw you."

"Okay, let's go. Once you leave town, head... and contact us once you get here."

"receive."

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, the three waited for another ten minutes, and Moore stood up first.

"Hey, let's go and give each other a surprise."
