I made myself the protagonist

After bypassing the traffic-heavy road section and reaching the outskirts of the city, everyone's previously tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Looking at the deserted mountain road outside the window, Li Ziting rubbed her rumbling stomach and broke the previously oppressive silence in the car: "When I saw those corpses and internal organs, I still wanted to vomit. But now, I Not only have I started to feel numb inside, but I also feel hungry..."

"That's right, I really want to find a place to take a hot bath and have a full meal!"

Xiaolong slapped his mouth and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing several people in Shen Tinglan's team chatting and laughing, Song Yiyang, who was sitting nearby, always felt a little awkward. After all, he had been following Pang Badian before, and had bumped into them in order to protect his superiors. But now, if he wants to integrate into the group, he has to You must find ways to build good relationships with other people.

Therefore, he cautiously spoke a few words, wanting to test everyone's attitude.

But soon, Song Yiyang discovered that Tang Yao's group of people actually had quite good personalities. After sincerely apologizing, they did not exclude him. On the contrary, they quickly accepted him as a new partner in the team.

The car drove for about five hours, and at about 7:50 in the evening, everyone finally arrived in Atlanta without any danger.

According to Shen Tinglan's wishes, Guan Yong drove slowly in circles around the city to observe the situation, and did not directly enter the densely populated city center.

Like Savannah, this place has been completely reduced to an epidemic area. Everything everyone passes by is a mess, and there is no trace of survivors at all.

When passing some buildings, some zombies would occasionally be disturbed. However, after chasing the car for a few minutes, they were quickly thrown away. Gradually, everyone stopped paying attention to these small things.

Ling Yun kept looking out the window. The once peaceful Atlanta had now become a dead city. All that was left of the bustling streets were ruins. The dilapidated buildings were blackened by the fire. Steel bars, stones and other materials were scattered everywhere on the streets. Some unspeakable debris.

The artistic statues that carried the ancient civilization have been completely destroyed, and the spectacular ruins lie in the dust. In the corners of high-rise buildings, there are still broken wooden and brick buildings and piles of garbage.

Looking at the walking corpses wandering the streets, for a moment, everyone even had the illusion that the whole world was empty. There was no life, no living things, only deathly silence, and those lurking in the darkness. threaten.

Since it was summer, the sky was not completely dark yet, and with the afterglow of the setting sun, I could barely see the road clearly. However, considering that there was still a long way to go, by the time we got near the port, it was already close to nine o'clock in the evening.

Being surrounded by darkness is extremely unfavorable for combat.

After discussion, everyone unanimously decided to follow the arrangements of Ling Yun and Shen Tinglan: first collect some food and weapons, and then find a place to rest for a night to regain their strength before setting off early the next morning.

Ten minutes later, Guan Yong discovered a supermarket near a suburban park; not only that, there were dozens of independent apartments nearby.

After getting out of the car, everyone noticed that dense and uneven new marks could be seen everywhere on the nearby street and on the surrounding building surfaces: those were left by bullets.

It is not difficult to imagine that after the virus broke out, the government sent troops to clean up and suppress the area. Because of this, the number of infected people nearby was much smaller than what was previously encountered in Savannah.

After a brief discussion, Ling Yun and Shen Tinglan led the teams respectively. On one side, they were responsible for collecting the infected people around the supermarket and protecting their companions; on the other side, they had to quickly collect food and transport it to the car.

Because they did not want to alert the infected people around them, everyone used melee weapons during the battle. Several people who entered the supermarket were assigned flashlights so that they could see their surroundings clearly in the dark.

Of course, adhering to the principle of fairness and justice, no one can escape from labor; if you want to eat, you must participate in the battle.

Tu Ya and Xu Fan were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. After realizing that there was no room for negotiation, they had no choice but to pick up weapons and followed Shen Tinglan, Zhao Sicheng, Wang Yu, and Xiang Mei into the supermarket. Internal search for supplies.

Upon entering, a bloated middle-aged male zombie with teeth and claws rushed out of the cashier on the left side of the entrance.

Shen Tinglan, who was walking at the front, said nothing, picked up the dog-leg knife in his hand, cut the zombie into two pieces at the waist.

The zombie lying in a pool of blood was not completely dead. It was lying on the ground, stretched out two blue-gray arms, and crawled towards everyone without giving up, while it kept uttering gurgling sobs from its throat.

"It's not completely dead yet, who dares to touch it?"

Shen Tinglan stopped Zhao Sicheng and Wang Yu and signaled them not to interfere.

The latter two also understood what the other meant. Shen Tinglan wanted to exercise the courage of the others, so he stood aside.

In the team, Tu Ya and Xu Fan looked at the squirming corpses on the ground and took several steps back in disgust. Tu Ya bumped Xu Fan with her shoulder and signaled her to go ahead; but Xu Fan remained motionless, holding one hand tightly. Holding Tu Ya tightly, it almost feels like we are going to die together.

"Aunt Xiang, do you want to try to kill it?"

Seeing the two people's reaction, Shen Tinglan didn't have any expectations for them. He turned around and his eyes fell on Xiang Mei.

Although he sympathizes with Xiang Mei and Guan Yong and wants to help them escape to the finish line, just because he can help them once does not mean that he can help them a second or third time.

Shen Tinglan's move seemed unnecessary to others. In Zhao Sicheng's words, it was love overflowing again.

For Zhao Sicheng, people like Tu Ya have no ideological consciousness at all. If they are left alone, no matter how they love, even if they survive this catastrophe, they will not be able to survive future tasks.

But Shen Tinglan, a good old man, always wanted to help anyone he saw. Even the scarred man's hidden dangers that threatened the team were forgiven by the other party.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sicheng was a little angry again, thinking to himself that he would be a fool if he worried about Shen Tinglan next time.

"There is still a long way to go. If you want to go home, you have to rely on your own abilities."

With Shen Tinglan's encouragement, Xiang Mei quietly stopped her husband who wanted to do it for her, and walked out tremblingly: "Xiao Shen, you are right... I know what to do."

After she finished speaking, she held the baseball bat in her hand and walked towards the zombies.

Guan Yong was a little worried about his wife, but he also understood that Shen Tinglan's words made sense. So, he suppressed the idea of ​​going to help, stood behind his wife, and whispered to cheer her up.

Xiang Mei looked at the zombie's pale and rotting face with trembling eyes, and hesitated for more than ten seconds. After a painful mental struggle, she finally bit her back teeth, took a deep breath, raised the bat and hit it. .

Although Xiang Mei's movements were a little clumsy, with the help of the enhanced suit and the weapons in her hands, a thin housewife who had only killed chickens was able to smash the zombie's head to pieces with a few blows.

"Aunt Xiang, you did a great job! Look, is this not as difficult as you thought?"

Seeing that the zombies had lost their breath, Shen Tinglan stepped forward quickly and spared no effort to encourage Xiang Mei.

After saying this, he moved the bodies on the ground and then picked a cart: "Let's go, we have to hurry up."

"Wife, you are very brave!" Guan Yong held his wife's hand and felt that her palm was sticky and cold. He was obviously frightened.

"Well... although I still feel disgusted, I will work hard in order to go back, for my son and you."

Xiang Mei wiped the blood from her face. Although her stomach was churning, she forced herself to look directly at the body on the ground and persuaded herself not to escape anymore.

"Thank you, Xiao Shen."

She thanked Shen Tinglan from the bottom of her heart, thanking him for never despising her and her husband, but instead always trying his best to help them.

"You're welcome."

As Shen Tinglan stuffed the food on the shelves, he said to them: "Don't wander around, and be alert at all times."

At the same time, outside the supermarket.

"Hey, Brother Ling, look over there!"

Next to the car, Tang Yao, who was in charge of the investigation, looked at the front of the street with the telescopes in her hands. Then, she excitedly said to her companions: "It's the police infected!"

Looking in the direction she pointed, sure enough, Ling Yun and others saw a police car with red and blue lights flashing across the corner of the downhill street; and around the police car, two zombies were wandering staggeringly.

"Go, go, kill them!"

At this time, Li Ziting no longer looked like the soft and weak little white rabbit she had been before. Compared to the others, she was the first to get excited: "These zombies must have a lot of good things in them!"

"I said you are very brave."

Xiaolong couldn't help but joked: "I don't know who it is, but I was still crying in the hotel before."

"Huh, I've adapted to it a long time ago!"

Li Ziting puffed up her chest with some pride and said to him: "Have you never heard of it? The best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Perseverance is the victory. Come on, Aoli!"

"Okay, okay, I know you are all women, and you are not afraid of zombies now. But there is still a distance from here, and I don't know if there are any other dangers. Just in case, you girls stay here. "

Xiaolong looked at Ling Yun and Wei Chongming and said, "How about just the three of us go and the others stay where they are and don't move around."

Considering that the durability of his enhanced suit had been reduced to 35%, Ling Yun also wanted to get some police armor. So, he readily agreed to Xiaolong's proposal.

Scar Man and Song Yiyang nodded, and continued to guard near the supermarket with the three girls to prevent other infected people from approaching; while Ling Yun and others took out their weapons, looked around, and then quietly moved towards the police car.
