Chapter 58

"Drip."

Crimson blood slowly slid down his cheeks, dripping onto the snow-covered ground. Brian wiped the blood from his face with his palm, forcefully pushing away the infected person who had collapsed on top of him, struggling to get up from the snowy ground.

The snow, stained with blood, slid off his back as he bent down to pull out the knife lodged in the infected person's head. He also picked up the pistol that had fallen nearby, watching the people fleeing around him with anxiety in his eyes.

In a sudden moment, Brian noticed several figures lying not far away. They seemed oddly familiar to him, so he hurriedly rushed over there with all his might.

As he approached, he stared intently at the familiar figures lying in the snow, and after a while, he finally recognized them as Alan, Sylvia, Anna, and Wilfred.

But now they were no longer alive; they had become cold corpses lying on the ground.

"How... How could this happen!"

Looking at the numerous wounds covering the bodies in front of him, blood flowing continuously, Brian's face twisted in pain and he fell to his knees on the snowy ground, a mix of anguish and indignation filling his heart.

"Sarah... she's not among them!"

Suddenly, Brian seemed to notice something, and his eyes quickly searched the bodies on the ground, but he couldn't find the familiar petite figure he was looking for.

As if sensing something, he abruptly stood up from the ground, pushing forward against the crowd fleeing in front of him as if he had a premonition of exactly where Sarah was.

Pushing aside anyone blocking his path, shooting or dodging the infected trying to attack him, he rushed forward relentlessly.

"Sarah! Where are you!"

Walking through the snowstorm, Brian continuously called out Sarah's name, but all he heard around him were the howling wind, gunfire, and the panicked screams of the crowd. He received no response, and as he looked at the bodies scattered along the way, his expression became increasingly frantic.

"I... I'm here..."

Just then, from the howling wind not far away, came a voice that sounded eerily familiar to him.

Brian's body trembled violently, and without hesitation, he dashed toward the direction from which the voice came, as if he had found Sarah's whereabouts.

However, Sarah's current situation was extremely dangerous. A corpse infected person was pinning her down, and because she lacked the strength, she couldn't immediately push the body away; she could only gradually move it aside.

Several infected had already noticed her, emitting eerie screams as they charged toward her.

Unable to do anything else, she raised her pistol and shot at the approaching infected, slowing their advance, while her body continued to shift, trying to quickly escape.

"Sarah, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Seeing Sarah in danger, Brian shouted loudly, letting her know he was there, while raising his pistol and shooting at the infected running towards her.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The gun fired several shots, bullets sliding through the barrel, spraying out from the muzzle, speeding towards the bodies of the infected in the distance.

However, the howling wind severely disrupted the trajectory of the bullets, causing them all to deviate from their intended targets and fall helplessly onto the snowy ground.

With no support, Sarah was forced to desperately shoot with her pistol, but soon there was a "click," indicating that all the bullets had been expended.

With no bullets left to stop them, the red-eyed infected quickly reached Sarah, who had not yet freed herself, and with a piercing scream, one of them bit into her vulnerable neck.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and the girl convulsed violently, her eyes filled with profound reluctance, before her body went limp, her eyes closing weakly.

"No!"

Seeing Sarah tragically die before him, Brian's eyes turned bloodshot, his heart feeling as if it had been torn apart. Like a beast losing its mind, he desperately fired towards the creatures, trying to stop their actions.

"Hiss!"

But before he could take a few more steps, a hissing sound suddenly came from his side, and then a lurker leaped out, knocking him to the ground.

Before Brian could react, the lurker sat on top of him, lifting its withered arm and smashing it down hard on his head!

...

"Ah!"

Brian suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes wide, sitting up straight in his seat, gasping heavily. He looked around somewhat dazedly, feeling sweaty all over, and subconsciously reached up to touch his forehead, realizing he was covered in sweat.

Taking another look around, he found himself still on the bus. Remembering the scenes that had flashed through his mind, he immediately realized that he had just had a nightmare. He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, and leaned back weakly in his seat.

Then Brian turned his head slightly, wanting to see how his companions behind him were doing. But as soon as he turned his head, he saw the people behind him looking at him with strange expressions.

Not knowing why, Sarah's face turned red, and when she saw him turn around, she quickly covered her face with her hands. However, from the gaps between her fingers, it was clear that she was still peeking at Brian's movements.

Seeing everyone behind him looking at him strangely, Brian felt a bit uncomfortable all over. He quickly looked at himself, thinking he might have something strange on him.

But after looking for a while, he didn't find anything wrong, feeling puzzled. He asked stutteringly, "Wh-why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Hehe!"

Seeing his reaction, Anna and the others in the back couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle. Only Sylvia noticed the sweat on Brian's forehead and handed him some tissues, asking with concern, "What's wrong, had a nightmare?"

"Yeah." Taking the tissues, Brian wiped the sweat from his forehead. Everyone must have seen his reaction just now, plus the sweat on his forehead. Without even looking, he knew he must have had a nightmare.

But he still felt puzzled when he looked at the people behind him, who were still laughing. Internally, he felt speechless. I had a nightmare, and none of you came to comfort me. What's with the constant laughter? What's the meaning of that?

Seemingly realizing what Brian was thinking, Anna gradually suppressed her smile, but there was still a slight curve at the corner of her mouth. She said in a slightly teasing tone, "You were having a nightmare, and you kept mentioning Sarah's name, you know~"

The last word was drawn out unusually long, and then she mimicked the tone Brian had used in his dream with a tense and slightly weird voice.

"Sarah, where are you?"

"Sarah, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"..."

Then, as if she couldn't continue, her previously suppressed smile immediately broke out again.

Hearing what Anna said, Brian blushed as if his secret had been exposed. He glanced at Sarah, who was still covering her face, and quickly turned away, not looking at the people behind him anymore, and started making his final feeble defense.

"N-no... I... I didn't..."

But this stuttering defense only made the laughter behind him louder. Even though he had the soul of an adult, he couldn't help but feel
