Chapter 14

Molotov cocktails are one of the most common weapons in protests and terrorist attacks on TV. They can be easily made with only common materials, such as glass containers, flammable liquids, and flammable materials. And the lethality is also very impressive. Once thrown, it will instantly ignite the target's body, causing extensive burns until death.

This is also why Brian chose it and it is so easy to make.

He took off the backpack behind him, gently took out three bottles of wine, and placed them on the ground. One of them was empty and contained nothing, while the other two contained half a bottle of gasoline. Although the bottle mouths were covered with cowhide tape, they're blocked, but you can still smell the unique smell of gasoline through the bottle.

Fortunately, when he decided to make these things, he had already put all the other things in Sarah's backpack; otherwise, those things would probably be stained with a smell.

"Well, it smells really bad." Unable to stand the unpleasant smell, Sarah frowned and pinched her nose with her hands.

He reached out and tore off the tape sealing the mouth of the bottle. The pungent smell also made Brian a little uncomfortable. He quickly took out a few rags from his bag and stuffed them into the mouth of the bottle.

Then he checked the status of the two pistols and the assault rifle, refilled the magazine, handed one of the pistols to Sarah, and said, "The next step may be more dangerous; you can take this."

"Yeah!" Sarah nodded and reached out to take the pistol.

After preparing everything, Brian stood up and observed everything outside through the glass window of the office. The entire factory was dead silent. Scraped cars were stacked on top of each other. In the middle were several neatly arranged shelves. He could vaguely see through the glass. There were several infected figures, but it was too dark inside to see clearly.

"Follow me."

After confirming that there was no infection or activity nearby, Brian picked up the three wine bottles on the ground, asked Sarah to follow him, and then turned the door handle next to the office door with the smallest strength.

Crunch.

Even though he was extremely careful, the sound of the door opening was heard very clearly in the silent factory.

Seeing this, Brian immediately stopped opening the door and stood still, silently feeling the movement outside. When he found that the infected person was not paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly opened the door.

The two walked slowly along the edge of the factory, trying not to make any noise. They looked at an open area in the corner of the factory in front of them before they stopped and hid in the shadows next to them.

"Sorry, let's deal with them here."

Brian squatted down and put down the Molotov cocktail in his hand, then looked at the open space in front of him, picked one of them up to Sarah next to him, and then whispered, "Wait a minute, I will use this empty wine bottle to attract the infected people inside. If there are a lot of them, when they get together, you can throw this thing over with me, okay?"

"no problem!"

After taking the Molotov cocktail handed over by Brian, Sarah suddenly asked in a low voice with some confusion, "Didn't we pass by an open space just now? Why didn't we do it there?"

"It won't work there." Brian shook his head and pointed to the cartons and wood on the rows of shelves in the middle of the factory building and explained to Sarah: "If we start there, what if the infected escapes inside the shelves? and light all these things on fire. We don't have the tools to extinguish the fire, so we're just shooting ourselves in the foot."

"Oh..." Listening to the other party's explanation, although some of the words didn't quite mean what they meant, Sarah nodded with some understanding.

"Hey, get ready for action." Seeing that everything was ready, Brian glanced somewhere behind him, picked up the empty wine bottle, stood up slightly, took aim, and then threw it towards the open space with all his strength.

Damn it!

The wine bottle hit the ground violently and shattered in an instant, making a harsh, shattering sound.

Ugh——!

Such a huge sound instantly awakened all the infected people hidden in the factory. There was a frightening roar from everywhere, and then noisy footsteps sounded from all directions, heading towards the corner where the sound came from. 

Looking dumbfounded at the infected that were constantly gathering in the open space in the corner, Brian was shocked to find that the number of infected had reached more than twenty. However, he saw that the infected were all gathered together, but he still did not throw a Molotov cocktail yet.

He found no "evolved" infected among these infected, which made him frown slightly. But seeing that these infected people were about to disperse, he had no choice but to shoot, so he no longer hesitated. While talking to Sarah, they lit the rag on the Molotov cocktail and then threw it toward the group of infected people with all their strength.

The Molotov cocktail continued to rotate in mid-air, drawing an extremely gorgeous arc, and landed heavily among the infected people. As the glass shattered, the gasoline inside splashed out and was then ignited by the flames on the rag. A small sea of fire instantly formed, igniting all infected animals within the range.

More than a dozen fireballs burning with flames are beating the flames on their bodies like crazy. The infected people are not afraid of flames, but they can feel the strong threat posed by the burning flames to the fungi in their bodies, so they will try to extinguish the fire within them.

But the flames of gasoline can not be extinguished by just beating them. In just ten seconds, the hot flames destroyed the fungi in their bodies. The infected people could only fall to the ground helplessly and let the flames burn. Their bodies exuded bursts of burnt stench.

The remaining infected people, who were not touched by the flames, did not pay attention to their dead companions. The continuous noises let them know that there must be prey nearby, and then they spread out to look for them. 

But Brian, who couldn't easily let them get together, would never give them a chance to separate again.

Seeing that most of the infected people had been eliminated, he asked Sarah to always be on alert to the situation behind him and then stood up without hesitation. The bullets from the assault rifle in his hand hit these infected people like a storm, even if His marksmanship was extremely poor; despite everything, whizzing bullets still killed all the remaining infected people in an instant.

For a moment, just as Brian stood up and fired fiercely forward, two "hissing" growls sounded from the direction behind him, and two evolved infected suddenly emerged from the darkness and pounced upon him.

Seeing this, Sarath, who had always been alert to the rear, raised her pistol and shot at the "evolved" infected monster that rushed forward. Although the fungus on the head could withstand a bullet, under continuous fire, the bullets still shot directly through the head.

As it fell to the ground, the figure of another "evolved" infected was exposed. Just when Sarah was about to continue shooting, there was a "click" sound from the pistol, and the bullet did not come out this time. All the bullets have been exhausted by her.

Seeing this situation, how could the evolved infected person let go of such an opportunity? It seemed to be a little faster, and he jumped forward with a roar. But just when it was about to run in front of the prey, it suddenly fell under its feet. As if he tripped over something, he lost control of his body and fell heavily to the ground.

On the other side, Sarah, who saw that the pistol was out of bullets, threw away the pistol without hesitation, picked up the dagger beside her, and was about to fight against the "evolved" infected person. Although she knew that she was no match, she had to ensure that she was not infected.

But what surprised her was that the other person didn't know why did it fell heavily on the ground. Seeing such an opportunity, she stepped forward and stepped on the other person's back with her foot, raising the dagger. He stabbed it hard into the back of the head and easily killed it.

Then she raised her head and looked at the place where the infected person had stumbled. She was a little dazed for a moment. One side of the thin rope was tied to the wooden box, and the other side was tied to the feet of the shelf, forming a standard stumbling block. 

On the other side, after finishing dealing with the remaining infected in front, Brian put away his assault rifle and turned around to find two infected men lying behind him. Sarah, on the other hand, was dazed by the rope. He went over and patted her shoulder and said, "How's it going? Is everything okay?"

"Ah?" After being asked like this, Sarah came back to her senses instantly, turned to look at Brian, who was standing aside, and said with some admiration, "When did you make this trap? How did you know they would come behind us?"

"..."

"It's not like I know. I'm just making extra preparations." Seeing the other party's sudden appearance, Brian suddenly felt at a loss and scratched his head in confusion.

Then he stretched out his hands to rub Sarah's cheeks, pointed at the infected corpses lying on the ground, and said, "Okay, don't look at me like that. It's getting late. Let's clean up this place quickly. Prepare all the things that need to be prepared, rest here for one night, and leave here early in the morning."

"Ok, I get it." Sarah opened her hand to rub her cheek, puffed up her cheeks, said reluctantly, and then followed Brian to clean up the infected corpses.

While the two were cleaning the factory in full swing, dozens of trucks appeared on the southern outskirts of the town. One of the trucks seemed to notice something, suddenly changed its direction, broke away from the convoy, and headed towards the lake house.
