Chapter 47: Traffic Jam

　　"Carl, do you remember other routes?"

　　"Remember." On the map in Carl's mind, the shortest routes were immediately generated, "But we have to go around and go back to the last intersection."

　　"It seems that this is the only way." Sean nodded.

　　"But I don't think we need to be so anxious."

　　"Karl? What are you talking about."

　　Carl pointed to the abandoned cars ahead and said, "We can search these cars for some supplies before leaving. They are all refugees, and there should be a lot of things in the cars that we can use."

　　Carl remembered that he seemed to have found a lot of knives here, and those knives made a lot of contributions in the subsequent battle with the zombies.

　　Sean nodded. "Then I'll take someone to check it out now. If it's as you said, it's not far away. We can stop here for two or three hours and get to the farm before dark."

　　"That would be great."

　　Sean took Carl back to the others. After giving a few instructions, Sean took More, Daryl, T-boy and Glenn to search for supplies.

　　Originally, Carl also wanted to go, but how could Lori agree? Helplessly, Carl had to stay where he was.

　　Many people came down from the RV to get some fresh air. Dale climbed onto the roof of the RV with a shotgun on his back and did his job of keeping watch competently.

　　Carl saw Carol also got out of the car with Sophia. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was necessary to keep an eye on Sophia, so Carl said to Lori,

　　"Mom, I'm going to go play with Sofia for a while, okay? I promise I won't run around."

　　Lori frowned slightly, "Ed didn't want them to get close to us. He even allowed Carol to chat with others when we were in the RV."

　　Carl pleaded, "It's okay, Ed is in the RV anyway, and he won't come down, it'll just be a while, please, Mom."

　　Lori hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed, "Okay, but don't leave my sight, okay?"

　　"Okay." Carl agreed and ran towards Sofia.

　　Seeing Carl coming, Carol took Sophia a few steps back, a little hesitant.

　　Sophia looked at Carol pitifully at this time, and Carol sighed softly, "Okay, but don't let your father hear it."

　　"Yeah!" Sophia nodded happily, then ran to Carl and held Carl's hand.

　　Karl greeted politely, "Aunt Carol."

　　"Shh." Carol made a shushing gesture and pointed at the RV. "Kid, please keep your voice down. Ed is not in a good mood right now."

　　"Okay." Carl nodded. This Ed did leave a big shadow on Carol.

　　"Karl, I'm sorry, my dad doesn't let me look for you." Sophia pouted in frustration.

　　"It's not your fault. It's right to listen to your father." Having said that, Carl still had something else he wanted to say.

　　It also depends on whether this father is worthy of being called a father.

　　There is no meaning for Ed to exist. Even Carl can't understand why Ed escaped the plot killing and is still alive.

　　The team was so harmonious, except for Ed, who seemed out of place.

　　To be honest, Carl wanted him to die, or even stay here, where an accident might happen. Carl's main purpose was not for supplies, but to kill him in a plot killing.

　　In this way, everyone is fine, but what if he pulls through perfectly?

　　What should I do...

　　Carl shook his head, trying to get rid of the bad thoughts in his mind, but failed.

　　Those ideas became more entrenched.

　　"Carl, where did you go before?" Sophia shook Carl's arm, waking Carl from his thoughts.

　　"Ah? It's okay." Carl forced a smile. "Sophia, if anything unexpected happens later, you must stay by my side. Don't run around or scream, okay?"

　　"Why?" Sophia tilted her head, confused.

　　Karl looked at Sophia seriously, "Just remember what I said, promise me, okay?"

　　Sophia was stared at by Karl, she lowered her head shyly and said in a low voice, "I promise you."

　　Karl didn't think there was anything wrong, but he reminded again with concern, "Remember what I said, I will protect you."

　　Just then, Glenn came running back excitedly, still wet.

　　Andrea, who was stretching, asked, "Glenn, what's wrong."

　　The others also gathered around, and Carl pulled Sofia over as well, but Carl had already guessed it.

　　Glenn said excitedly, "We found a truck full of drinking water. Sean asked me to come over and ask you to help bring the water back."

　　"A car? Is there extra water for washing?" Andrea also became excited and held her sister Amy's hand tightly.

　　Glenn nodded. "Half of it is enough for all of us to wash up. We can't take it all away anyway."

　　"What are you waiting for? My treasured collection of shower gel can finally come in handy." Andrea said and wanted to go back to the RV to get something.

　　"Hey wait, you can wash up, but Sean said we have to move some of it back first, so it's safer." Green said.

　　"Shit, what are we waiting for? Let's get moving." Andrea was in a good mood, but suddenly she thought of something and asked worriedly, "Are there any zombies around here?"

　　"We have cleaned it up. As long as you are careful, there shouldn't be any problems," Glenn said.

　　Lori couldn't help but smile, and Carol's mood improved a lot.

　　Lori glanced at the others and said, "Let's go help, Carl, you and Sofia go back to the RV and don't run around, okay?"

　　At this time, Sean, Moore, and Daryl, each carrying two buckets of water, had returned, and Sean put the water into the armored vehicle.

　　The space inside the armored vehicle is very large, and since no one is required to sit in it, there is still a lot of space even if a lot of weapons are placed in it.

　　As for the RV, there were already a lot of supplies in it and there wasn't much space left.

　　After Sean put the water down, he shrugged, "Anyone want to help?"

　　"Me!" Carl raised his hand.

　　"Great." Sean nodded. "Anyone else?"

　　Lori smiled and said, "We will all help, but Carl and Sofia should go back to the RV. They are two kids who can't help much."

　　Carl insisted, "I can help. For example, I can help you keep watch."

　　"Carl, stop messing around, okay?" Lori's desire for control came back.

　　"Hey, Lori, believe in Carl. He can do it. He is growing up. You can't stop him from growing up."

　　Sean looked at Lori and said this very seriously.

　　"This... okay." Lori finally nodded.

　　Sean waved to the others, "Then everyone follow me, T is still guarding there, let's not keep him waiting too long."

　　"Carl, if you want to help, go to the RV and keep watch. Ask Dale to come down and help. If there are any zombies, tell me on the intercom."

　　"certainly."
