Chapter 347
The trapped bus was very quiet. Many people even deliberately held their breathing low, fearing that the noise would be too loud and would irritate the monsters that were separated by only a layer of iron.
Time slowly came to midnight. After several hours of silent waiting, many children in the car could no longer bear it and they snuggled in the arms of their loved ones and fell asleep one after another.
If it weren't for the constant clapping and low roars coming from outside, the scene would have seemed even warmer. A little moonlight shone into the carriage through the gaps. Everyone had a nervous look on their faces, and their eyes would look outside from time to time, as if they were expecting rescue.
Fortunately, the weather has gradually turned colder. If it were a midsummer night, with so many people crammed in a stuffy carriage, it would be a blessing if you didn't have a few heart attacks.
A foul stench filled the carriage, and no one seemed to be able to smell it. Several men near the lookout were staring outside, and gradually they discovered that the group of zombies in the distance seemed to have changed slightly.
The densely packed zombies seemed to be a little sparse, but they were too difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. Several people stared with their eyes wide open, trying to see farther, but after a while they sat back, rubbing their sore eyes.
These people naturally couldn't see the specific situation, but that didn't mean that no one in the car could see it. Ezekiel was equipped with thermal imaging equipment, and the red light that appeared from time to time in the distance made him understand that someone was already dispersing the swarm of zombies, and all he needed to do was wait quietly.
Looking at the relatively calm survivors on the highlands, Ezekiel knew that he had to keep these people calm now. Even if it was just for their lives, he couldn't let these newcomers cause any trouble.
After greeting Jerry and Diana and giving them a few quiet instructions, they went into the crowd and began to quietly comfort these newcomers who might collapse at any time.
While the surrounded people were waiting quietly, the two cars that had narrowly escaped the encirclement were discussing their next plan a few kilometers behind the main force.
Not only did Lu Jiayi assign a person in charge for each car, but Telman also assigned one. At this time, the persons in charge of the two cars at the back had already gathered together.
Glenn looked at the young man who seemed extremely nervous and patted his shoulder in relief.
"Leon, don't worry, we can handle this situation."
Leon stared at the dark night ahead with worry and forced himself to regain his composure. He knew that he was the temporary person in charge of the dozens of people in the car, and even if everyone else was in chaos, he couldn't.
"Don't worry, I'm just worried about my companions."
Listening to the increasingly uncontrollable noise on the bus behind him, Lyon's expression slowly became solemn. He had to stay calm.
"Okay, let's discuss our next plan."
As he spoke, Glenn took out a map and spread it on the ground. With a click, a beam of dazzling white light shot out from the flashlight, and several people subconsciously squinted their eyes.
"We are in this position now. This is where we were attacked by the zombie swarm just now."
Glenn tapped the map twice quickly, and when everyone nodded in agreement, he continued.
"Let me tell you what I think. There is a group of zombies ahead. The exact number is unknown, but judging from the width of the front row, there are at least 5,000 of them. If we assume that there are more than 8,000, it will take at least several hours to cross them. I plan to take a few people to explore the way. If we can..."
Glenn pointed to another road on the map as he spoke. This road was a few kilometers behind them, but it would take a long detour to get there.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the intercom. Glenn answered it immediately and Lu Jiayi's voice came.
"Glenn, how's the situation over there?"
"We are fine, we were just stopped. How about you? I didn't dare to contact you just now because I was afraid of affecting your actions."
Glenn's heart had been hanging in the balance since a while ago, but now that he heard his friend's voice, he finally felt relieved, at least it meant that the other party should be safe for the time being.
Lu Jiayi also knew that Glenn must be very worried about them now. He briefly talked about his current condition and then began to talk about his plans.
"We are currently evacuating the zombies, but it looks like it will take several hours to finish. You should take the people over there to the military base first. We estimate that we will arrive at the earliest tomorrow morning."
"Let's go help too."
"No, your first priority now is to hurry and bring those people back. We have enough manpower here. I asked them to take the survivors back first. You just need to take a detour there."
"receive."
After hanging up the call, Glenn looked at the dark night ahead with some worry. He could hear faint sobbing sounds coming from there. He didn't know the situation there before and didn't dare to go there casually. But now that he understood the situation, he felt even more worried.
But he still shook his head. In the current situation, if he rushed over in a panic without knowing anything, it might cause trouble to his companions, so the best way at the moment was to take these people away.
"Let's go."
…
After a night of hard work.
The next morning, the tide of zombies split into several groups led by several small teams, and finally gathered together and left in another direction.
And those who led the team also walked back dragging their tired bodies after the sun rose.
There are still some stubborn elements left around the trapped cars, about a hundred of them. These zombies have heard the strange noises from the cars, so they keep pounding on the armor plates that they can never break.
Lu Jiayi got out of the car with a group of people. In order not to attract the departing zombies, they had to use cold weapons to deal with the remaining guys.
The soldiers, armed to the teeth, quickly surrounded them. Lu Jiayi, who was leading the way, was like a god of war, wielding a shining machete up and down, harvesting smelly heads one after another.
The battle lasted only a dozen minutes, and the last small group of zombies was eliminated without any surprise.
Rick got out of the armored vehicle immediately. He didn't worry too much yesterday. Instead, he fell asleep in the second half of the night. When he woke up, the zombies outside were still about to be wiped out.
The people on the bus were not so relaxed. They were really worried the whole night. After all, the previous shelter protected them very well. Most of them had never been in such close contact with such a large tide of zombies. They endured it tremblingly for the whole night. It was not until dawn that they found that the huge number of zombies had inexplicably dispersed, but there were still many monsters left.
Then they saw again a scene that they would never forget. A group of people rushed into the group of zombies with knives in their hands and chopped these horrible monsters to the ground like cutting melons and vegetables.
The young man who led the group was particularly terrifying. Some people quickly recognized him as the young man who had stood next to Telman in the Highland Community.
This was the first time they saw this man take action, with that speed, that strength, that reaction!
It felt like watching him killing zombies was like dancing. His seemingly light movements could cut a zombie's neck in half. He was truly a ferocious beast in human form.
Telman did not leave with the previous group of people, but waited in the armored vehicle. His friends were on the bus, and he was also the leader of the Highland community. He could not abandon everyone and leave alone.
As soon as the zombies were cleared, he rushed onto the bus, and after some comforting, he got off with a look of relief on his face.
"Let's go, Louis."
"Okay, okay, let's go home!"
The experience of one night not only made them feel the despair of the end of the world, but also made them realize that they did not follow the wrong person. Ideal Town is an organization that is determined to save their companions at all costs, so what do they have to worry about?
