A few minutes later.
"In short, do you work with them as a tracker while searching for the person who separated from you?"
Joel nodded with a cold expression.
"Yes, a group of Fireflies had gone out to meet some outsiders, their plan was to engage in a conversation, meanwhile I took the opportunity to go out and look for that lost person. We wanted to get closer to this place to see if there were people who could help us." After saying this, Joel asked, "Are you involved with those people?"
Daryl had already returned his motorcycle to the road, but now upon closer inspection, the damage was severe, so he was so annoyed that he had to vent his anger somehow.
Looking around, Daryl pulled out his dagger and began to eliminate the walkers that were approaching.
Jasmine beside him didn't talk much, when she saw Daryl's movements, she also pulled out a dagger and joined in the cleaning, with a few simple observations, Airon knew that Joel wasn't worried about the departure of that woman, and from the way she moved, it could be seen that she had good skills.
Seeing this, he turned his head to look at Pool and Joel.
"The Fireflies you work for kidnap many people and kill indiscriminately. Right now, we could say that we're not on good terms and I really want to eliminate that plague."
"Oh, we don't care what you want to do with the Fireflies, we're just trying to say that we had a silly accident..."
Airon and the other people behind him looked at each other with a little consternation.
...
Daryl moved his hand while holding a long knife and stabbed the walkers that surrounded him, when suddenly he felt a sound coming right behind him, and at the moment he was about to turn around, he saw that the head of a walker had been pierced with a knife.
Then an unsightly looking woman passed by, Daryl clenched his teeth in frustration and weighed the dagger in his hand.
Pff! Crak!
Just as Jasmine was about to kill the walker in front of her, a dagger flew and stabbed the walker in the head.
She looked back and saw that Daryl had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't thrown the knife at that moment.
Jasmine shook her head, pulled out the dagger, and threw it to Daryl, who also picked up the dagger from the ground. They both looked at each other and turned around at the same time to clean up the walkers on both sides.
"Daryl, let's go!" After a few minutes, everyone got back on their motorcycles.
"What should we do now?"
"We have to go back now, we've had enough in this place to stay..."
A few meters away, three people got into a car and left, and upon seeing this, Daryl felt a little strange.
"Didn't you invite them?"
"I did, but they said they had companions nearby. The man named Joel deviated in this direction to meet his people."
Daryl remained silent, he knew that the man named Joel was not a normal old man, he could feel that kind of vibe in dangerous people.
"Should we follow them?"
Airon hesitated, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally made a decision.
"Yes, I was curious about that man named Joel."
...
Half an hour later, Airon was on the roof of a run-down building, looking dazedly at the distant buildings. They really hadn't found them...
This was the first time this had happened to him as far back as he could remember, and Daryl, who had the ability to find people, hadn't been able to this time...
"What the hell!"
"What did you say?"
"No, I just said why couldn't I find these people."
Daryl sighed in anger. Those people had really slipped away.
"So, what should we do? Go back now?"
Looking at the dead city around them, it seemed impossible to find the other party now, and they could only go to the point where their group was supposed to meet the Fireflies again for a brief exchange.
"Let's go back."
When Airon and the others returned to the meeting point, they saw two parked cars from a distance, and the people in the car also saw them, but the ones who were supposed to bring the supplies didn't come.
"Zz... Glenn, are you still alive?"
"Zz... Of course, we'll be there in 30 minutes."
"What happened?"
"Zz... The situation is more complicated, I'll tell you later."
After waiting another 20 minutes, two trucks were approaching in the distance, and everyone was on high alert.
The two cars didn't stop until they were 30 meters away from Airon's convoy, and more than a dozen people got out of the car, with Manny, who had negotiated with them, as the leader.
"Listen, I brought what you asked for, are our agreed upon supplies ready?"
Airon advanced slowly, observed these people and found that there were some people behind the Fireflies.
"Our supplies won't arrive until a little later."
"Okay, we'll wait a moment, pay for the goods and deliver them."
Twenty minutes later, everyone finally saw several cars coming from the distance, and there were a total of three trucks.
Daryl suddenly approached, pointed to the last car and said, "Did you have some kind of mishap?"
Of course, Luke saw it too, wondering what was going on, so he restrained his curiosity and approached.
From a distance, he saw George walking towards him with a frown, accompanied by T-dog.
"George, why did it take so long?"
George turned his head and looked at T-dog, and saw the latter approaching and explaining in a low voice.
"Airon, do you remember the comic book stores?"
"Well, what happened?"
"We saved someone when we went for extra supplies..." T-dog's simple explanation made Airon understand the current situation, and he also saw some survivors coming from behind.
Airon looked over, not expecting to meet those people again half an hour later.
"Airon, we meet again."
"It seems that we are destined to meet again..."
"I probably know what's going on. If you really work with these people, I'll have to see if the person you're looking for is at the Fireflies base, what's her name, by the way?"
"Ellie..." Joel said quietly.
"A good name..."
After speaking, Airon walked fearlessly towards the group of people and said, "We meet for the first time, since you wanted to talk at first, I assume you know who we are, were you the one who escaped that massacre?"
"How can you be so sure?"
"Are you killing me with your look and still assuming I'm not sure?" Now that we've met again, I don't know how I should address you."
"Manny..."
Looking at Manny with a smile on his face, Airon felt a bit strange. This man really had an irreversible anger when his people were the first to bite.
But now that the other party has brought people, he has to observe their behavior first to make a reasonable judgment.
"In addition to the people you brought, we want someone else, the agreed-upon supplies are in those trucks."
"Oh? Who else?"
"A girl named Ellie..."
Manny asked again with a thoughtful expression on his face, looking at the few people around me, suddenly realizing something.
"Oh, I remember there should be someone like that in the camp..."
Jasmine, who was standing aside, had a surprised expression on her face and couldn't wait to intervene.
"That's right, it's her! Is Ellie okay?"
Airon's eyes suddenly became a bit cold, he turned to look at Jasmine, and his tone became serious.
"Listen! I haven't decided whether to trade her yet, so you'd better keep quiet!"
But as soon as he finished his words, a creepy voice came from behind.
"She has to be traded one way or another, whether he likes it or not."
Seeing Jasmine take a step forward, Joel shouted for her to stop.
"Jasmine, stop!"
Jasmine paid no attention at all. She immediately grabbed Airon's arm and wanted to control him, but she didn't want the other party's reaction to be so fast that she didn't give her any chance at all.
"Really?"
Crack!
"Ah!"
No one knew what had happened, but Jasmine was strangled by her arm, and her entire arm was trapped behind her.
"Let go of me!"
