Chapter 5 : Sarah is Injured

"Watch your back!"

Seeing that the infected person was getting closer and closer, Sarah ignored her situation and quickly warned Brian of the danger behind her.

But the other party's reaction was faster than hers. He turned around suddenly, stretched out his foot, and kicked the leg of the infected person behind him hard.

The unprepared kick caused the infected person to lose his balance and fall to the ground. Then Brian stepped on the opponent's back, pulled out the dagger, and plunged the knife into the infected person's head, ending its life.

"This..."

Looking at the boy in front of her, who had become extremely decisive, Sarah suddenly felt that he was very strange. She felt that he seemed to be a different person.

Pulling out the dagger, Brian stared at the infected person lying on the ground. He had already seen the infected person behind him through the car glass, but now it seemed that the threat of these individual monsters was not as terrible as imagined.

His eyes returned to Sarah's body, and he found that the girl's pants had been soaked with blood at some point. Seeing this, he quickly asked:

"Sarah, your leg is bleeding."

"ah!"

Sarah, who had not felt anything at first, was shocked to realize that her leg was injured when the other party reminded her. The pain suddenly came like a tide, and she let out a cry of pain unconsciously.

Joel, who had just gotten out of the car, couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he heard the news that his daughter's leg was injured. In the current situation, a leg injury is simply the most fatal.

"Can you still walk?"

Quickly standing next to Sarah, Joel immediately helped his daughter up and asked if She could continue to walk. When he saw the other party shaking his head, his mood instantly fell to the bottom.

Brian stood aside silently, hesitating a little about whether to turn around and leave. He felt that he had done the best that a neighbor and friend could do.

Now the infected are getting closer and closer to here, and the number will only increase. Coupled with Sarah's leg injury, she has become a burden to the team.

As a relative of Sarah, Joel will not abandon the girl. If he procrastinates like this, it will only be a matter of time before the infected catch up. Brian is not an idiot, and he is not great enough to sacrifice for someone he has just known for a month.

At this moment, Tommy, who had disappeared without a trace, ran out from nowhere, and he was seen talking anxiously to the three people next to the car.

"Damn it, the infected are coming; we have to run away!"

When the three of them were unconscious, the infected people on the highway had broken into the town. Those who originally fled towards the highway all turned back, bringing with them a large number of infected People.

Knowing that the situation was critical, Joel gave Tommy the pistol that was attached to his waist and then picked up Sarah, who had difficulty with her legs and said:

"Tommy, you cover me."

Tommy also saw his niece's injured leg. Knowing that it was not a waste of time, he took the pistol and said to Brian next to him:

"Kid, I remember you also have a gun. You stay with them, and I'll break up the rear!"

After hesitating for a moment, Brian nodded. No matter what his plans were, his first goal now was to get out of this hellish place first.

The four of them followed the swarming crowd and fled forward. During this period, people kept rolling and crawling out of the buildings on both sides, screaming in fear, while sporadic infections followed closely behind them.

Just as the fleeing crowd passed an intersection, a car suddenly rushed out of the intersection in front and went directly into the gas station at an angle.

"boom!"

The car violently hit the gas tank, causing sparks to instantly ignite the gasoline, detonating the entire gas tank and igniting a raging fire. All the people who fled to the gas station were also set on fire by the flames.

Dozens of people were instantly burned by the fire, and pitiful howls could be heard one after another. Some people were rolling back and forth on the ground in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies to save themselves, while others ran towards the nearest person, hoping to get help. But this approach not only failed to save them but also set the people he knocked down on fire.

Such a terrifying scene made the crowd behind it not dare move forward. In addition, the flames of the explosion blocked the road ahead. The panicked crowd fled to the left and right like headless flies.

"Towards the edge."

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Joel did not stop and asked Brian and Tommy to follow him. Then he whispered to comfort his shivering daughter and asked her to close her eyes.

Brian followed them leisurely. In front of them was the Madillo Theater. Once you passed there, it was only a short distance from the highway intersection. You could just find a car and leave quickly.

But reality is often cruel. Just as they were about to reach the intersection, a burning vehicle exploded at the intersection, scaring the crowd who was running forward to immediately turn around and run backward.

But the road behind them had long been occupied by the infected people who were rushing towards them. When those who were running at the front realized that something was wrong and planned to turn back, the unsuspecting crowd behind them crowded forward desperately, sending them into the mouths of the infected people.

With the road ahead blocked and infected people approaching from behind, Brian and his companion were immediately caught in a dilemma.

"This way, there's an alley here!"

Just when the situation was getting more and more critical, Tommy saw an alley blocked by an iron fence between the two buildings and quickly called for others to come over.

Fortunately, the door was not locked, and everyone filed in. After everyone came in, Tommy quickly found a stick to seal the door and, at the same time, blocked the two unlucky guys who also wanted to come in.

On the other side, Joel in front of him was almost attacked by the infected person, who suddenly jumped out of the trash can at the corner. Brian was startled, and he fired a shot subconsciously. It was an accidental shot and Killed the infected person with a headshot.

They continued to rush deeper into the alley, and just when everyone thought they could get rid of the monsters behind them, the infected people climbed over the fences and walls like gangrene in their bones and followed them closely.

After all, Joel was holding Sarah in his hand, which greatly affected the team's forward speed. Seeing the infected behind them getting closer and closer, they hurriedly entered the nearest bar, hoping to use the door to block the progress of these monsters.

But when everyone entered the bar and turned to close the door, the infected person's hand reached into the crack of the door and blocked the door that was about to close.

Looking at Tommy, who was holding on to the door, Brian rushed forward and fired several shots at the crack of the door, directly forcing the infected back, and then closed the door.

After closing the door, everyone left without stopping and headed towards the other end of the bar. However, the infected person behind the blocked door still banged against the door unwillingly, hoping to break in.

He rushed out of the bar, killed a lone infected person, and rescued a person who was about to be killed. They entered the mountain road next to the highway through a broken wall outside the bar.

Shooting continuously to deal with the scattered infected people on the road, they quickly approached the highway one by one.

But before they had gone far, dazzling lights appeared on the hillside ahead, and a heavily armed soldier blocked their way.

"Stop, don't move; raise your hands!"

Even though they had known for a long time that the highway was guarded by the army, it was still a long way from the highway. Meeting the soldiers here was obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

Tommy, who was holding a gun, threw away the pistol decisively and raised his hands high, fearing that the other party would shoot him.

But when the soldier saw the man holding the weapon disarming himself and the other man holding a child, he relaxed his vigilance slightly and did not pay too much attention to the other child standing next to him.

Looking at the soldier standing on the slope with the assault rifle in his hand, Brian moved sideways in a subtle way, hiding half of his body behind the rock mass on his side. He thought to himself, A scene like this could be seen in a doomsday movie. That's not uncommon.

First, the escaped survivors met the soldiers, then the soldiers asked their superiors for instructions on how to deal with them, and finally, the superiors cold-bloodedly shot civilians. Although the situation in the movie may not be true, it is always right to be more careful.

"Sir, please help me."

Just when Brian and the others stopped for the warning and the soldiers were about to ask their superiors for instructions via radio, a figure suddenly rushed out from the shadows.

Brian was stunned for a moment, then realized that the figure was the survivor they rescued at the door of the bar, and he had been following them secretly.

"Stand still and don't move, or I'll shoot."

The soldiers did not expect that other people would suddenly run out from behind them. They did not bother to contact their superiors, picked up the assault rifle in their hands, and warned the other party not to continue approaching.

But this survivor seemed like he couldn't listen at all and still ran forward like crazy, muttering "Help" all the time, as if he were in a daze.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, the soldier did not hesitate at all. He pointed the assault rifle at the survivor and pulled the trigger.

Bullets ejected from the muzzle of the gun, and a series of blood mists suddenly appeared on the survivor's body, and he was beaten into a sieve in an instant.

The scene suddenly became quiet for a moment. Although the death of the survivor had its own factors, the soldiers shot and killed them without hesitation, which still made the people present feel trembling.

Joel looked at the survivor, who was still twitching on the ground, and knew that things might be a little too late.

Suddenly he saw that Brian, who was beside him, had hidden behind the rock mass next to him. He suddenly thought about it, and he began to think about it in his heart.

Sarah was now in his arms. If the soldiers on the opposite side also shot at them, wouldn't his daughter become his shield?

With this in mind, he began to move slowly and quietly in the direction of Brian.
