Chapter 5 - Soldiers

 "Be careful behind you!"

  Seeing the infected person getting closer and closer, Sarah ignored her own situation and rushed to warn Brian of the danger behind him.

  But the other party's reaction was faster than hers, I saw him turn around abruptly, stretched out his foot, and kicked hard at the leg of the infected person behind him.

  The unexpected kick caused the infected person to instantly lose his balance and fall to the ground, then Brian stepped on the opponent's back, pulled out the dagger and stabbed the infected person's head, ending his life.

  "This..."

  Looking at the boy who had become extremely decisive, Sarah suddenly felt that the other party was very strange, and felt that the other party seemed to be a different person.

  Brian pulled out the dagger and stared at the infected person lying on the ground. He had watched the infected person behind him from the car window for a long time, but now it seems that the threat of these monsters is not as terrible as he imagined.

  Looking back at Sarah, she found that the girl's right pants had been soaked in blood at some point, seeing this, she quickly asked:

  "Sarah, does your leg hurt?"

  "that!"

  The other party reminded Sarah, who didn't feel anything at first, that she was shocked to realize that her right leg was injured, and the pain suddenly came like a tide, and she subconsciously let out a cry of pain.

  Joel, who had just gotten out of the car, heard the news of his daughter's leg injury and his heart sank. For the current situation, the leg injury is simply the most fatal situation.

  "Can you still walk?"

  Walking quickly to Sarah's side, Joel immediately picked up his daughter and asked if he could continue walking, when he saw the other person shaking her head, his heavy heart instantly dropped to the bottom.

  Brian remained silent, hesitating to turn around and leave now. He felt he had already done what a neighbor and friend could do.

  Now, the infected are getting closer and closer, and the number will only increase, and Sarah's leg injury has become a burden on the team.

  And Joel, who is Sarah's relative, definitely won't leave the girl behind, so by procrastinating, it's only a matter of time before the infected catch up. Brian is no Virgin, and he's not big enough to sacrifice himself for someone he's only just met a month out of life.

  At that moment, Tommy, who was missing, ran out of nowhere and saw him talking anxiously with the three people next to the car.

  "Damn it, the infected are here, we have to run away!"

  It turned out that while the three of them were in a coma, the infected people on the road had already broken into the city, and those who had fled on the road had returned, bringing with them a large number of infected people.

  Knowing the situation was critical, Joel handed the gun to Tommy and then picked up Sarah, who was an inconvenience, and said:

  "Tommy, you're coming to cover me."

  "Well."

  Tommy also saw his niece's injured right leg, knowing that now was not the time to waste, he took the gun and said to Brian at his side:

  "Little devil, I remember that you also have a gun, follow them, I will stop him later!"

  After hesitating for a moment, Brian nodded, no matter what he has planned, the main goal now is to leave this ghost place first.

  The four followed the swarming crowd and fled forward. During the period, some people rolled and climbed to escape from the buildings on both sides, screaming in fear, and behind them, sporadic infections followed.

  Just as the fleeing crowd passed through an intersection, an out-of-control car suddenly rushed out of the intersection and headed straight for the oblique gas station.

  "boom!"

  The car crashed violently into the gas tank and the sparks ignited the gasoline instantly, detonating the entire gas tank, igniting a raging fire, and even the people who fled to the gas station were set ablaze by the flames.

  Dozens of people were instantly burned by the flames, with miserable howls one after another, some people rolled back and forth on the ground in pain, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies to save themselves, while some people ran towards the nearest person, hoping to get help. But this approach not only failed to help, on the contrary, it also set fire to the person who was knocked down by it.

  Such a terrifying scene made the crowd behind them not dare to move forward. Moreover, the explosion of flames blocked the path and the panicked crowd fled to the left and right like headless flies.

  "Go to the right."

  Seeing that the path ahead was blocked, Joel did not stop, letting Brian and Tommy follow, and then whispered to his trembling daughter and told her to close her eyes.

  Brian followed them unhurriedly, and in front of them was the Madillo Theater, as you crossed there, it was a short distance from the highway intersection, when that time came, you could just find a car and leave quickly.

  But reality is often cruel: just as they were about to reach the intersection, a burning vehicle suddenly exploded at the intersection, frightening the crowd who were running forward immediately to turn around and run back.

  But the path behind them has long been occupied by the infected who arrived. When those running in front noticed something was wrong and planned to turn back, the unwitting crowd behind them desperately rushed forward and sent them into the mouth of the infected.

  The path in front was blocked, and another infected person was approaching from behind, and Brian and his group were suddenly caught in a dilemma.

  "Over here, there's an alley here!"

  Just as the situation was becoming increasingly critical, Tommy spotted an alley blocked by iron fences between the two buildings and quickly called out to the others.

  Fortunately, the door was not locked and a group of people came in. After seeing everyone coming in, Tommy hurriedly found a stick to seal the door and also blocked the two unlucky bastards who also wanted to enter.

  On the other hand, Joel, who was walking in front, was almost attacked by an infected person who suddenly jumped out of the trash can in the corner, Brian was shocked and subconsciously shot at the infected head.

  Continuing to run into the depths of the alley, just when everyone thought they could get rid of the monsters behind them, the infected person jumped over the fence and wall like a gangrene, and followed closely behind them.

  After all, Joel was holding Sarah in his hands, which greatly affected the team's speed of advancement. Seeing that the infected people were getting closer and closer, they hurriedly entered the nearest bar, hoping to use the door to block the passage of these monsters.

  But when everyone entered the bar and turned around to close the door, the infected person's hand stuck into the crack of the door, blocking the door that was about to close.

  Looking at Tommy, who was clinging to the door, Brian ran forward and fired several shots into the crack of the door, directly forcing the infected back and then closing the door.

  After closing the door, everyone did not stop and went to the other end of the bar, while the infected person who was blocked by the door was still reluctantly charging at it, hoping to get in.

  They ran out of the bar, killed a single infected person, and rescued a person who was about to die. They entered the mountain road beside the highway from a broken wall outside the bar.

  Shooting continuously to clear out the infected people scattered along the way, the group of them quickly approached the road.

  But before they got far, a blinding light appeared on the hillside and a heavily armed soldier blocked their way.

  "Stop, don't move, put your hands up!"

  Although he had known for a long time that the road was guarded by the army, there was obviously still a long way to go from here to the road, and it was obviously beyond everyone's expectations to encounter soldiers here.

  Tommy, who was holding a firearm, decisively dropped the gun and raised both hands high, for fear that the other party would shoot.

  But fortunately, when the soldier saw the man with the uncocked gun, and the other man holding the child, he relaxed his vigilance a little and did not pay much attention to the other child standing next to him.

  Looking at the soldier standing on the slope and the assault rifle in his hand, Brian darkly moved to the right side, and half of his body was hidden behind the rock mass on the right side, thinking to himself, like this scene in the Doomsday movie that is not weird.

  First, the survivors who escaped encountered the soldiers, then the soldiers asked their superiors how to deal with them, and finally the superiors cold-bloodedly ordered to shoot the civilians. Although the situation in the movies is not necessarily true, it is always right to be careful.

  "Sir, please help me."

  Just as Brian and the others stopped due to the warning, and the soldiers were going to ask their superiors over the radio, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows.

  Brian was stunned for a moment, then discovered that the figure was the survivor they rescued at the door of the bar, who had been hiding behind them.

  "Stand next to me and don't move, or I'll shoot."

  The soldiers did not expect that other people would suddenly rush out after these people, and they did not care to contact their superiors, raised their assault rifles and warned them not to come any closer.

  But the survivor didn't seem to listen at all, and still ran forward like crazy, saying "help" all the time, and the whole person seemed to be stunned.

  Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping, the soldier did not hesitate at all, the assault rifle was aimed at the survivor, and the trigger was directly pulled.

  The bullet was ejected from the mouth and a series of blood mists appeared on the survivor's body, and he was instantly hit into a sieve.

  The scene suddenly calmed down, although the death of the survivor had its own factors, the soldiers shot without hesitation, which still made the hearts of the people present tremble.

  Joel looked at the survivors still writhing on the ground and knew things might be a little late.

  Suddenly, he saw that Brian, who was originally standing beside him, was hiding behind the rock beside him.

  Sarah is now in his arms, and if the soldiers on the other side shoot at them too, wouldn't his daughter become his shield!

  As soon as he thought of this, he began to slowly move towards Brian calmly.
