"Just there..." Daisy turned her head and looked in a certain direction. Following Daisy's gaze, Anthony saw two heads quickly retract. One of them was likely Daisy's father, as for the other one, Anthony's gaze turned cold. He could forget anyone, but he would never forget Evan's face.
Since fate had brought them together today, he might as well eliminate both of these people. Thinking so, Anthony tightened his grip on the firewood axe. At the street corner... "Damn it! Is this stupid woman trying to get us killed?" Evan's heart raced.
Severing Daisy's arm was enough to show that Anthony definitely wouldn't spare him. If Anthony were to come over, he would be dead for sure. Thinking this, Evan's brain spun wildly. He scanned his surroundings and when he spotted a slow-moving zombie wandering on the street, an idea flashed through his mind. Immediately, he stood up, walked out from the corner of the wall, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "It's just that I slept with your girlfriend, so come and kill me if you have the ability! What's the deal with a woman."
Asking for death! Anthony's expression turned grim as he raised his axe. But at that moment, a roar came. A zombie? Anthony furrowed his brow, instantly understanding Evan's intention. No, he couldn't let this guy continue shouting. With that in mind, he exerted all his strength and charged towards Evan with his axe. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Evan immediately abandoned Daisy's father and turned to run, still shouting incessantly, "Come on! All of you, come and get me!"
In just a few seconds, Anthony ran a hundred meters, but in that short time, the number of zombies around him increased suddenly. Zombies poured out from several intersecting intersections ahead, behind, and to the left and right. This wouldn't do! If he continued chasing Evan like this, he had the ability to protect himself, but Cheryl wouldn't be so lucky. Thinking this, Anthony could only fix his gaze on Evan, who was two hundred meters away. He pulled a pistol from his pocket, took aim, and squeezed the trigger.
"Damn it! A gun!" Evan saw Anthony raising a dark object and immediately felt the danger. He threw himself to the ground. His reaction was a bit slow, and his backside was directly hit by a bullet, but he managed to avoid a fatal injury. Bang! Bang! Two more shots. Evan rolled, narrowly avoiding one bullet, but the next moment, he let out a scream resembling that of a wild boar.
He rolled on the ground, clutching his groin and writhing in pain. After firing three shots, Anthony had wasted quite some time, and a large group of zombies had gathered around. He couldn't stay here any longer. "Consider yourself lucky!" He cursed unwillingly and holstered his pistol, sprinting back.
At this moment, in front of the security office, Daisy's figure had disappeared, presumably hiding inside. Anthony didn't have the time to go in and search, so he crouched down and said, "Cheryl, get on my back!"
"But..." Cheryl hesitated. In a way, she weighed over ninety pounds, and if Anthony carried her on his back while facing dozens of zombies, it might burden him.
"Trust me!" Anthony added. Without waiting for Cheryl's consent, he simply grabbed her waist, and with a scream, he hoisted her onto his shoulders. "Hold on tight!" Anthony reminded her, then bent his body. Immediately, Cheryl felt the sound of wind whistling past her ears, followed by the continuous collapse of zombies around her.
The entire escape and killing process lasted only five minutes, and the two of them reached a safe zone. "You... put me down," Cheryl said with a pale face.
"Okay," Anthony released his grip. Once Cheryl stood firm, she immediately leaned against the wall and vomited violently. If she had known how capable Anthony was, she would have climbed on his back earlier. When he carried her just now, her stomach was churning, and she almost vomited directly on Anthony's back.
"Uh, sorry," Anthony said awkwardly. Cheryl waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to talk now.
Over at the security station, Evan ran towards the location of the security station while enduring the intense pain in his crotch caused by the gunshot. When he entered, he happened to see Daisy leaning against the wall and her father standing beside her.
"The zombies are coming. What are you two still doing here? Hurry upstairs!" Evan angrily shouted.
"Daisy," Daisy's father looked at his daughter with heartache.
Evan hated these two burdensome assholes and wished he could stab them to death. However, he still needed their help to obtain food later, so he said, "Don't just stand there. Help her upstairs." After that, he looked at Daisy's bleeding wound and added, "Old man, quickly take off your clothes and cover the wound, or when the zombies smell the blood, we'll all die."
"Okay, okay," Daisy's father supported Daisy, and Evan followed behind. The three of them ran upstairs. Just as they reached the second floor, a zombie pounced towards them. Daisy's father bit his teeth and rushed at the zombie, and Evan quickly joined in to help. In less than twenty seconds, they snapped the zombie's neck.
After dealing with the zombie, the two of them continued to support Daisy and took refuge in an office. They used tables, chairs, and stools to barricade the door, and the three of them huddled behind the wall, covering their mouths and noses, barely daring to breathe. After a while, five or six zombies approached.
The three of them held their breaths. But at that moment, blood from Daisy's wound dripped onto the ground and was about to flow out through the door crack. Evan immediately took off his own clothes, sucked the blood dry, and then pressed it firmly onto Daisy's wound, while his other hand covered his crotch. In this way, the few zombies wandered around the corridor for a while, but when they didn't discover anything, they left directly.
"We're saved," Evan breathed a sigh of relief and began searching inside the office. There should be something in the security station's office. After a quick search, he actually found a handgun in a corner, with two bullets inside. It should have belonged to a security officer before.
With the gun in his hand, when Daisy's father and Daisy didn't notice, Evan secretly tucked the gun into his pants pocket. This would be his capital for survival in the future. However, his beloved... Glancing at his bloodstained crotch, a sinister look filled his eyes.
"It's fine, I'm okay now. Tell me, what's your plan next?" Cheryl wiped her mouth after vomiting most of her breakfast.
"Next, I still need to collect some zombie crystals," Anthony said. His goal for today had been achieved, and now he only needed to collect zombie crystals and upgrade the base equipment.
As for his lover, it's not that Anthony didn't want to find her, but she appeared when they were already at the survivor camp. At that time, Anthony felt sorry for her and gave her his remaining half packet of instant noodles, which was how they got to know each other.
But one thing is certain, she must be in Linxian City, probably in the urban area. After the major flood, a survivor camp was established in Linxian City after half a month, which was the prototype of the survivor camp where Anthony later resided.
The camp was formed by a team of four awakened individuals, including Evan and Daisy. Therefore, the most important thing now is to improve their strength!
"We shouldn't delay, you should squat down," Cheryl said weakly with frustration.
Anthony shook his head and said, "There are no zombies here. You can go."
Cheryl sighed and watched as Anthony left her behind and walked ahead. She stomped her foot in annoyance and reluctantly followed him.
