Greenwood Survivors

Not far from Waskom, where the caravan was located, was a small town called Greenwood.

This small town is close to Shreveport, but what sets it apart from other small towns is that there are countless infected people gathered in the city right now. At a glance, the scary amount really makes people feel a tingling sensation in their scalp.

At a church in the center of the city, a dozen men and women with haggard faces walked or sat in the pews, staring straight ahead, despair clearly reflected on their faces.

Around them, crumbs of food were scattered on the floor, and some iron pipes in the corners served as makeshift containers for human excrement. Although they tried to cover them, the foul stench was impossible to hide.

In another corner away from these people, there is a father and daughter who are in a completely different state than those people. The father is in his forties, a strong man with a rough face and a body covered in strong muscles. Looking out the sealed window, he observed the situation outside, his eyes full of faith in survival.

The daughter was seventeen or eighteen, with brown hair and a pretty face. She was holding a shotgun and paying close attention to the dozen or so decadent men and women in front of her.

This whole group of people are trapped survivors in this church. Judging by the piles of food on the ground, it's roughly estimated that they've been stuck here for at least a month.

At that moment, a man appeared with tattoos all over his body and a head in the shape of a rooster's comb. He sat down on a bench and looked around aimlessly. When he saw the father and daughter in a corner, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his lips and he sarcastically said to the strong man:

"Wilfred, you've been watching for over a month, haven't you given up yet? More and more infected people are gathered outside. It is impossible for us to get out, no one will come to save us. I advise you to think about it carefully. How easy it would be to give up now and enjoy what little is left while we can..."

After saying this, he looked at the cute girl sitting on the ground, his eyes full of desire, and said with a bad smile: "Your daughter still a virgin, why not enjoy her before and let her leave this world as a woman, damn it!"

But before he could finish his words, the pretty girl who was watching stood up, put down the shotgun in her hand, picked up a slingshot from the ground, and shot a rock at the man with the rooster hairstyle.

The man with the cockscomb head had actually noticed the girl's movements a long time ago, but the depression and exhaustion of the past few days made him unable to avoid the stone. He could only watch helplessly as the stone hit them hard in the face, leaving a cry of pain.

"Only a waste like you would be willing to wait here to die. Do you think I'm one of you?" Wilfred looked away from the window, turned around and looked at the coldly combed man and said disdainfully.

"And Ogden, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to my daughter again, I'll cut out your tongue..."

Then he said to the girl next to him who also had an icy face, "Anna, help me keep watch outside."

"Okay, father."

Anna nodded, made an "international gesture" to the man with Ogden rooster hair, then took her father's position and focused on everything outside the window.

"You... you!" Ogden covered his already blue face and pointed to the father and daughter in front of him who didn't take him seriously at all.

No matter how resentful he was in his heart, it was useless. He could only look at the father and daughter with resentful eyes, and then picked up a middle-aged woman lying on the ground with half-dressed clothes and dragged her to the nearby prayer room, to vent all the anger at this time.

Not long after, Ogden's cries of relief and the painful groans of the middle-aged woman came from the prayer room.

Wilfred paid no attention to the situation there at all. He sat down where Anna was just now, leaned against the wall behind him, slowly closed his eyes, and thought of ways to escape.

He and his daughter Anna were not residents of this city, they were simply trapped in it during the outbreak of the Cordyceps fungus.

Originally, a squad of a hundred soldiers arrived in the city, ready to let them get into their own cars and escort all the people of the city to the isolation zone built in Shreveport.

But just as they were about to leave, countless infected people suddenly came out of nowhere. This was also the first time he had seen those monsters. They rushed into the city and massacred people in the senseless streets, even now I could remember the terror and despair on the faces of those who fled.

The escort soldiers tried to deal with these infected people, but the bullets from their rifles could not withstand the offensive of the infected people at all and they were eventually killed by the infected people. Only a few soldiers who saw that the situation was not right, fled in advance.

The inhabitants of the city fled to their homes, but he, his daughter and the dozen people he worked with were lucky enough to escape to the church in the center of the city, where they managed to take refuge and avoid the attack of the infected who were following them closely.

Although most residents fled to their homes, infected people broke windows and rushed into their homes.

Only those who sealed their doors and windows in advance were able to be saved, but at that time the streets of the village were full of infected people and they couldn't get out of here.

After one night, residents who had escaped from their homes and were bitten by those infected, were infected in turn. Due to the lack of scientific information and adequate preventive measures, their family and friends were not prepared, which led to them also being bitten and infected.

Wilfred watched from the window as a young man, in desperation, opened the door of his house and ran out into the street, trying to escape from the infected who were chasing him. He completely forgot that there were even more infected people on the street, and in a matter of seconds, he was surrounded and attacked. The infected people bit him furiously, leaving his lifeless body on the ground.

Even if there are no people in the family who have been bitten, what they have to face is a crueler food crisis.

As there is less and less food, some people try to venture out to look for food, but what opportunities will infected people outside give them? Most people won't be able to get very far and will die at the hands of infected people.

The time they spent trapped was getting longer and longer, and food was becoming scarce. Despair grew among them, and what had once been a close-knit community was now crumbling. Faced with the threat of death and starvation, they all laid down their moral shackles. The struggle for the remaining food intensified; People began to fight each other, snatching what little food was left. The relatives, those who still shared some blood ties, faced each other with punches and kicks, unable to contain their despair.

Even maddened by hunger, they concentrated on the bodies of their loved ones, completely turning into demons.

In just one month, most of the city's residents went out to look for food or were bitten in their homes and became infected, or were brutally murdered by their family and friends and turned into food in their mouths.

You don't need to ask Wilfred how he knew, because everything that happened outside was clearly visible to him under his observation for more than a month.

If they hadn't been responsible for packing the food before the accident, and everyone hadn't brought a lot of food when they fled to church, maybe they would have turned into demons or infected people...

It's just that their current situation isn't much better. The food is slowly being consumed, but infected people outside have no intention of leaving.

The dozen or so men and women who fled to the church with them slowly began to sink as they saw that there was no hope of escape. They no longer thought about how to get out, and gave themselves unscrupulously, to the enjoyment of the last moment of madness before death. !

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As Wilfred closed his eyes to recover, a faint explosion was suddenly heard from outside the church. This made him suddenly open his eyes, he got up quickly and asked, "What's going on outside!"

Anna was not very clear about the situation outside and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know... It looks like the sound of an explosion came from the west, but it seems to be quite far away from us."

"Who is from the west zone?" Hearing this, Wilfred quickly turned around and yelled at the dozen or so people who were decadent there. They weren't from the small town and didn't know very well where that place was.

The dozen or so people obviously heard the explosion outside and everyone got up from the ground. One of the young African-Americans said, "To the west is the town of Waskom, not far from us, just 10 minutes away."

"Has someone come to save us?" Another blonde woman suddenly stood up and said excitedly. His originally desperate heart also sparked his faith in survival.

Even Ogden, who was sleeping in the prayer room, rushed out of the prayer room without even putting on his pants, his expression was also extremely excited.

ah--!

As they spoke, the infected in the village were also attracted by the explosion coming from the west, and they all looked over there.

Although just now they heard a sound coming from the other side, they saw no traces of the dam, so they stood there without thinking about moving.

But the explosions that followed one after another completely caught his attention. They roared, and the infected army began to slowly advance along the road to the west.

"Haha..." Wilfred looked at everything outside the window and couldn't contain the ecstasy in his heart.

He said excitedly: "The infected have started to move, and we can leave even without being rescued!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present cheered up and danced as if they had been reborn.

But no one noticed that after the initial ecstasy, the eyes of the man with the cockscomb head, Ogden, gradually drifted towards Anna, who was silently by the window, and subconsciously licked her dry lips, revealing a strange smile...
