Chapter 45
No matter how brutal the fighting was around the town, no matter how many infected and hidden people emerged from the dark alleys, no matter what those people who hid in order to avoid fighting the infected and waited for opportunities to fish in troubled waters did, the people who took refuge in the center of the small town didn't know it.
At this moment, women, children, and the elderly are taking refuge in the houses in the center of the town. Some are huddled in the corner with their relatives, praying silently with their hands clasped together. Some are standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the lights of the town. The sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard, and their faces were full of hesitation and worry. Some of them had already carried their belongings on their backs. If they found anything wrong, they would run away.
"Hey, what a miserable fate!" Noticing the appearances of all the people in front of him, Brian leaned against the window and rubbed his temples with a headache.
He also expressed that he was very speechless about this situation. He had just left Dallas for a day. First, he encountered a series of car accidents that blocked the highway in the morning, and then he encountered a large number of infected people raids at night. Who can tell him what's going on outside? When did our world become so dangerous?
Sarah stood next to Brian, her face full of unconcealable tiredness. After being awakened by the alarm, she was completely in a state of confusion.
She shook her head, took out her kettle, and took a sip of water. She looked at the scenes and sounds outside the window and asked with some concern, "Those infected people shouldn't break in."
Brian raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already 2:50. Nearly two hours had passed since the attack by the infected. Feeling a little relieved, Brian patted Sarah's little hand and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine.""
At this time, the soldiers patrolling the street seemed to have received some news and suddenly mobilized. Two soldiers raised their guns and aimed at the end of the street on the other side. The other two people soldiers moved barricades across the street, seemingly trying to block something.
The situation outside naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the house. They hurried to the door and window, and the hesitation on their faces gradually turned into fear. Obviously, these people thought that the infected had broken through the defense line.
But someone soon noticed something was wrong, because there was no trace of panic on the faces of these soldiers, and the roadblock only blocked a large section of the road, not all of it, which obviously could not be used to defend against the infected.
"Didi——!"
Just when everyone was full of doubts, a light suddenly came on at the end of the street, and a military truck covered with oilcloth turned into the road. As if it was afraid that others would not find them, it honked the truck's horn crazily.
When the two soldiers carrying the roadblock saw it, they quickly put down what they were holding, took cover on both sides and aimed their rifles at the speeding truck.
The people in the truck seemed to have noticed the roadblocks and soldiers ahead. They saw a tall and thin man leaning out of the passenger window. There was a rifle in his hand. He pointed the muzzle at the soldier opposite and fired a round at his face. He was full of madness, not afraid that the opponent's bullet would hit him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Seeing that the other party actually shot at them, the soldiers certainly would not sit still, pull the trigger, and choose to fight back. However, the truck was driving at high speed, and the dazzling light shone on their faces, making it impossible for them to shoot accurately. Aiming at the tall, thin man who leaned out.
He could only half-close his eyes and fire randomly at the truck, hoping that one bullet would kill the guy.
On the other hand, the tall and thin man was not afraid of the bullets that passed by him. Even if the bullets grazed his body and left burn marks, he remained silent. Instead, he became more courageous as he fought, and the rifle in his hand was accurate. He changed the magazine after hiding in the bunker and shot and wounded the soldier, who had just poked his head out.
The remaining two soldiers seemed to be intimidated by the opponent's momentum. They hid behind the bunker and stopped firing back.
"Hahaha--!"
Seeing these soldiers, they seemed to be frightened by them. Charlie and Joseph in the truck laughed wildly. At the same time, they shouted to everyone in the hiding house, "You people, just be with the government troops and Go to hell; we are going to leave first. Yoho——!"
Just as they were venting their inner ecstasy, the truck rushed towards the roadblock that the soldiers had just set up.
Needless to say, this kind of makeshift roadblock couldn't withstand the violent impact of the truck and was knocked away as soon as it touched it.
Brian in the room saw the truck speeding through the roadblock with no intention of slowing down. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, knowing that the two of them were finished.
Because he just noticed that a soldier dropped something similar to triangular nails not far from the roadblock. They were laughing so arrogantly just now, and it will be ugly when they cry later.
The roadblock was easily knocked away, which was obviously what Chad expected. He started crying like a ghost and howling like a wolf, completely unaware of the dim light that shone in the snow in front of him.
But Charlie didn't notice, and Joseph in the passenger seat was keenly aware of those things. He rubbed his eyes and looked around, and he was surprised to find that there was a row of triangular tire puncture spikes. His face suddenly changed, and he became very excited. The smile immediately turned into a big smile of fear.
"stop!"
Chad, who was in the driver's seat, was obviously startled by the voice, and his body suddenly trembled, but when he heard the word "stop," he subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
But it was too late. The truck was driving at a high speed. With the sound of tires rubbing against the ground, the truck continued to rush forward according to its inertia, heading toward the Spikes.
The sharp puncture spike punctured the tire, and there was a "bang" sound. The tire on the left front of the truck quickly burst up like a deflated rubber ball. The brakes were pressed hard, and Chad couldn't control it at all. Suddenly, the entire truck slid sideways.
"Clang!"
The out-of-control truck tilted forward and rushed out toward Brian's house, causing everyone standing by the window to scream and run away in all directions.
But just as the truck rushed over, the vehicle tilted too much, instantly lost its balance, and rolled heavily onto the street outside the house.
The food and ammunition in the back compartment also overturned with the truck, breaking through the shackles of the oilcloth, and all fell to the ground. The yellow bullets instantly covered the streets, which were covered with white snow. It looked so dazzling.
At the same time, soldiers from other streets rushed out from the front and rear intersections of the street. They all heard the noise coming from here and rushed over. In an instant, they blocked the front and rear of the street. There is no way to escape, even if you have wings.
Bursts of black smoke rose from the front hood, and a big hand and a rifle stuck out from the passenger compartment. Joseph climbed out of the truck with his face covered in blood.
He looked around and saw more and more soldiers coming after hearing the news. He understood that he had no way to escape, and his eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness.
Suddenly, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a dozen grenades on the ground, rolling out of the truck along with the bullets, and then looked at the women and children hiding in the room next to him. As if he saw a glimmer of light.
He ignored Chad, who was still trapped in the driver's seat and struggling, calling for help. He half-rolled out of the truck, then bent down and grabbed a few grenades on the ground.
A young soldier who was coming over saw Joseph picking up a grenade. Without saying a word, he raised his rifle and shot at Joseph.
The moment Joseph was able to pick up the grenade, he swooped down to the side and hid on the side of the truck. Then he used the truck as cover and rushed toward the house closest to him.
The bullets swept all the way, not only missing Joseph but almost hitting the remaining grenades, which made the other soldiers break into a cold sweat and quickly stop the soldier from continuing to shoot.
Although the probability of shooting a grenade with bullets is not high, the small probability does not mean it is impossible. You must know that there is all the ammunition and supplies.
While everyone's attention was focused on the escaping Joseph, Chad, who was still struggling in the truck, also freed his left foot.
Feeling the stinging pain coming from there, cold sweat couldn't help but slide down his forehead, but after hearing the gunshots coming from outside, he knew that he couldn't stay there and had to leave quickly.
Chad didn't care about the injury and forced himself to step on the brake with his left foot. He endured the pain and stepped on the side of the backrest with his right foot. He grabbed both sides of the window with both hands and climbed up with difficulty. At the same time, he beat Joseph in the heart, left him, and ran away alone.
But just as I was sitting on the door of the truck panting and planning to jump out of the car without stopping, I glanced around subconsciously, and the expression on my face instantly froze, and the movements of my hands immediately stopped. He raised his hands and lowered his head unwillingly.
I saw around the overturned truck that a dozen soldiers were holding their rifles high, with the black muzzles pointed at him, looking coldly at the person who stole the supply truck.
