The Commander!
At the moment he clearly saw the figure, the name crossed Tommy's mind almost instantly.
It's just that it's different from the appearance in his memory. Right now, Airon looks emaciated and weak.
Looking at Airon approaching the window, Tommy immediately wanted to stand up and shout at the other side, revealing his identity.
But just as he was about to move, he saw Airon, on the other side of the street, pointing his gun in his direction.
That's when Tommy realized he could see Airon, but Airon couldn't see him, so he didn't have time to think about anything else and quickly ducked to avoid it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As he crouched down, several shots rang out, and the bullets made several holes in the wall behind Tommy.
"Damn it! Can you shoot with such precision with a gun and those injuries?"
He turned his head to look at the holes in the wall, and two of them hit the spot where he was standing just a moment ago. If he had moved a bit slower at that moment, he probably would have gone to the other world without anyone having time to explain the situation to him.
Boom!
Roar!
But even though the bullet missed, the shot had just alarmed the walkers in the building.
As a broken wooden door at the end swung open, more than a dozen walkers rushed out, watching as the visible target in the hallway ran away.
"Run, Joel!"
Seeing the infected people running wildly, Tommy cursed inwardly, grabbed his rifle, and evacuated to the other side of the hallway. When he reached the end, he saw Joel coming around the corner. In the area at one end, there were also more than a dozen walkers chasing after them.
"To the right!"
Suddenly, they were caught in a pincer attack, and Tommy knew he couldn't stay here any longer, so he signaled to Joel and went down the next set of stairs.
Throughout the stairs, there were dense roars of walkers and footsteps one after another, followed by an invisible sense of oppression.
Descending from a corner of the stairs, Tommy noticed the platform and saw the tall debris piled up in the corner. His eyes lit up, and he kicked the corner of the table below with force.
Crack!
The corner of the table almost broke, and the table, losing balance and being hit by the impact, began to shake violently, and all the items on top toppled, instantly filling half of the table.
The following walkers unexpectedly piled up, and one walker fell, blocking the pursuit of the walkers behind.
Roar!!
Hearing the cries of the infected people behind him, Tommy, who had stepped out onto the street, closed the door of the stair passage backwards, leaning against it and letting out a long sigh.
Then he turned his head to Sarah beside him and asked, "Where's that truck?"
"Towards the isolated street."
Joel panted with a hand on his hip. Upon hearing this, he pointed to the street next to the museum and said, "Those people aren't far from us and will arrive soon."
"Yes..."
Tommy looked at the situation on the opposite street and, as he walked towards the lookout point, said, "Let's request air support, we need helicopters flying around, Airon is critically injured."
Upon hearing this, Joel, who was coming from behind, seemed to realize something. His beautiful eyes widened slightly, appearing nervous and eager for something, and he said, "Could it be?"
"It seems like he cut off his hand, he's still conscious, which is incredible, but we don't know what's really happening here."
Seeing Tommy confirming the events, Joel frowned and immediately nodded. They both ran towards the other end.
"Zz... This is support convoy AM-K, we need immediate air support as our commander is critically injured..."
At the same time, in the not-so-distant streets, new trucks were swiftly driving through the remaining streets filled with ruins.
In the large rear compartment, seven or eight heavily armed soldiers were sitting facing each other, each silently seated on chairs with their eyes closed, tightly gripping their rifles in their hands, awaiting the next action.
However, unlike the silence in the rear compartment, the captain in the co-pilot seat was looking at the operation data. He glanced at the data and said, "It seems those overly religious idiots were easily killed. Deucalion will be furious to see his city in this state..."
When the soldier driving the vehicle heard what the captain said, he repeated, "It's quite strange. We haven't even had contact with the cult people in Atlanta. Do you think they're still alive?"
"Such accusations are dangerous, kid!"
Gently patting the back of the soldier's head and hands, the captain put the information in the storage compartment in front of him. He looked at the crumbling buildings passing by the car window, pretended to be deep in thought, and said, "I don't know why, but I have a terrible feeling..."
"...Captain, I'm a bit nervous about what you said."
Upon hearing this, the soldier driving unconsciously touched his neck and nervously steered the vehicle to turn onto another street.
"Hahaha! Kid, I don't know how you passed the training."
Seeing the soldier's appearance, the captain couldn't help but burst into laughter. He patted the soldier's shoulder and said with a smile, "I was just kidding with you. You take all the shit I say seriously."
Knowing he had been fooled, the soldier couldn't help but roll his eyes, but a building that came into view caught his attention and reminded him, "Captain, we can reach the central building and investigate what's happening."
"Alright! It's finally here. The people behind should get ready!"
The captain also saw the dome of the Parliament building not far away. He straightened up and forcefully tapped the small window in the back to remind them. He raised his rifle and said, "Let's fight fast. When we return, I will personally deliver your reward..."
Bang!
But before the captain finished speaking, a piercing gunshot was heard, and a bullet shattered the car window, narrowly avoiding the sturdy military helmet and penetrated the fragile eyeball, releasing a scarlet cloud and ending the captain's life.
"Ah!"
Those splattered with blood were all soldiers who were obviously startled by this sudden change. Their pupils contracted suddenly as they saw the dazzling blood hole on the captain's face, and they couldn't help but scream, frozen in fear.
The soldiers in the rear compartment were also in shock. The moment they heard the shots, these soldiers opened their eyes attentively, grabbed their weapons, and entered a combat state.
Boom!
An explosion destroyed a military truck, leaving everyone charred.
But before these soldiers could react, another shot rang out, and the front right wheel of the rapidly moving truck made a hissing sound as the air escaped, quickly withering away in the blink of an eye.
However, the soldier rigidly seated in the driver's seat didn't react at all. With the unbalanced vehicle and no driver to correct it, the entire truck careened out of control toward a closed roll-up gate on the right.
Boom!
The front of the car violently collided with the rolling gate. Upon this impact, the rolling gate became as fragile as paper, sinking in the middle and being carried along by the truck, continuing to strike from the inside until it crashed into the wall on the other side. Only then did the momentum stop.
Bursts of black smoke intertwined with dust filled the sky, emerging from the sole exit and rising into the air, and the situation of the soldiers inside the truck became visible after a while.
The soldiers lay scattered inside and around the truck compartment, having suffered a tremendous impact. Half of the soldiers in the rear compartment were ejected, and those remaining in the compartment covered their heads and trembled, trying to get up.
The soldiers who were expelled from the rear compartment weren't as lucky. Two of them lay motionless, seemingly dead, and one of them was lying on a protruding decoration in the corner. Others had their chests open, with a lot of blood pouring out.
