Brian stood outside the motel, waiting for Osborn to back the RV around the corner. At that moment, he seemed to remember something, and asked Kelly, the blonde girl next to him, with some hesitation, "Why is there no gas in the car?" "Did they take it?"
"Yes," Kelly leaned lazily against the wall, as if remembering something bad, with a helpless expression on her face.
"We only got here yesterday. We wanted to add some gas, but we don't know which bastard took all the gas from the gas station, so we were only able to search the entire hotel yesterday to find all the cars. The key, I used the oil in these cars, but there's not much gas in them..."
With that, Kelly looked at Brian and Sarah with great joy and continued, "Thank you for coming, otherwise we would have to risk our lives to get gas in the city today."
"…Damn it, are they treating us like messengers?" Seeing Kelly's happy look, Brian rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.
Osborn unloaded the RV at the convenience store door and motioned for the three children beside him to go inside the convenience store to grab supplies and get in the car. I don't know why, but even though all the gasoline in the gas station was emptied, the food in the convenience store didn't move at all.
So the three boys carried supplies to the convenience store, while Osborn walked to Brian's car with a gas can and a leather hose and pumped the gas.
After nearly an hour of work, the four people got everything ready and Osborn drove the RV back onto the road.
Brian sat in the co-pilot's seat and kept exchanging all the information with Osborn since the outbreak of the plague. During this period, he also knew what the other party was about. He would be very cautious about him and Sarah.
Osborn and Kelly lived in Round Rock. Because the place where they lived was very remote and rarely visited, when the plague broke out, they did not flee like other families in a hurry, but instead took advantage of the opportunity. They went to the nearest supermarket to buy a large batch of food.
They sealed the windows and locked the door, silently waiting for rescue to arrive, but soon a week passed and the water, electricity and internet disappeared during this time and they did not see any rescuers.
Until one day, some children knocked on the door of his house hoping to get some food, seeing these poor children in front of him, the kind Osborn softened his heart, so he took some children in and gave them food and shelter.
But a good heart can always be used by others That night, these children secretly opened the locked door and let in more than a dozen armed men and women.
Osborn and Kelly, who were sleeping in the room, would never have thought that their kindness would lead to such a result, and they were stunned.
Looking at these guys devouring their own food, Osborn felt extremely angry, and what he said from the few words of these people's exchanges also instantly horrified him.
In fact, they don't know each other, they are just three families who have been hiding together to escape, and they can coexist harmoniously at first.
But as time goes by, food becomes increasingly scarce and the conflict between them becomes more and more serious. They dare not go to places where there are infected people to get food, and the safe places nearby have long been looted. Just when they thought that hunger was about to fight the infighting, someone came up with a terrible method.
Let the little children knock on nearby houses that may be occupied by people, try their best to make the other party stay at least one night and open the door at night, so that the people in the house can sleep easily. It will be moderate and get plenty of food.
Such a safe and feasible method has everyone's approval, before coming to Osborn, they have used this method to knock on the doors of at least a dozen houses. As for the original owner of the last house, they will be brutally killed by them and then thrown outside to be abandoned.
Osborn never thought that the disaster was only a few days, and the people in front of him had completely transformed into a group of demons. Although he was angry in his heart, he still suppressed the anger and did not try to anger these monsters, but found a way to break free from the shackles on his body, took his daughter Kelly and quietly left the house while these people were enjoying the space.
Because all of these people had firearms in their hands, after escaping the house, Osborn did not return to the house. He found something to seal the door and then set the entire house on fire. Watch these demons howl in agony as the fire burned them.
After that, she left Round Rock with her daughter, intending to go to Dallas, and then, because the car ran out of gas, they all arrived at the service area and finally met up with Brian and Sarah.
Listening to the experience described by the other party, Brian also realized for the first time how terrifying the dark side of human nature is in disasters.
"Hu~~"
Leaning back in the driver's seat, Brian closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He emptied his mind and wanted to stop thinking about those messy things, and fell asleep like that unconsciously.
drop drop-
When Brian opened his eyes again, it was raining lightly outside the car at some point, and melodious music was playing in the car stereo, and the atmosphere seemed extraordinarily harmonious.
He subconsciously raised his hand to look at the time, the pointer was already pointing in the direction of 11:00, and he actually slept for almost two hours.
Osborn in the driver's seat saw that he was awake and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Hey, wake up!"
"Tos tos..."
Brian coughed twice, sat up quickly, regained his spirits, turned his head to look inside the RV, and found that both Kelly and Sarah were lying on the bed.
Apparently aware of Brian's gaze, Kelly suddenly looked up at him, glared at him, and said, "What are you looking at?"
Pursing his lips, Brian turned around and sat back in his seat, surveying the situation outside the car and realizing that they were already on Interstate 35, so he asked Osborn beside him, "Where are we now?"
Osborn sighed lightly and replied with a worried look: "Waco is over now, and there shouldn't be much of a road left. It seems that the epidemic is more serious than I thought. So far, all the cities and towns have fallen, and I don't know what Dallas will look like now."
"It should be fine." Hearing this, Brian lowered his head and thought for a moment, before saying somewhat unsurely: "Dallas is already very close to the central area, I believe that even if the epidemic is serious, the government will definitely not make it an infection zone."
Raising his eyebrows, Osborn looked at the boy beside him in surprise. He really didn't expect the other party to understand these things, but he didn't care too much, just nodded.
"I'm not worried about this. There are two cities near Dallas, Fort Worth and Arlington. These three places are too close. If the government abandons Dallas, it will inevitably be together with Fort Worth and Arlington. Let's surrender together, unless the epidemic is completely out of control, otherwise the government will never make such a decision."
"So what are you worried about?" Seeing that the other party knew the benefits, Brian didn't understand what the other party was worried about.
"I'm not worried about the epidemic, but about the people living inside," Osborn shook his head with a wry smile, expressing his inner concerns.
"The quarantine measures ordered by the government have seriously damaged the individual interests of all citizens. If you haven't experienced it, you may not understand. These people will gather in their cities to demonstrate, and some criminals will also take advantage of this opportunity. Activities, so I am worried about what is happening inside now."
Hearing Osborn's concerns, Brian instantly understood what was going on. It was the same as a certain coronavirus outbreak in his previous life. As long as there was a little dissatisfaction, those whose interests were harmed would be loud. , And for the votes in the hands of these people, some people come back and promise to meet their unreasonable demands, which is simply ridiculous.
But he still asked with some doubts: "Aren't you afraid that the epidemic will spread in the city when you create trouble like this?"
When Osborn heard this, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "As long as disaster does not really come to them, how will these people know what fear is?"
"Huh? What's that?"
As they were talking, just as the RV went through a big curve at the intersection, the scene in the distance instantly attracted the two of them.
I saw that the originally spacious intercontinental highway was filled with long queues of traffic, there were several military trucks patrolling back and forth on both sides.
A separation wall was erected at the end of the road, and soldiers with live ammunition patrolled back and forth, while two men in protective suits each held a scanner to screen people parked in the vehicle in front.
After confirming that there are no problems with the people in the car and that there are no people hiding, they will be notified to open the isolation gate and let the vehicle enter the city.
Looking at the scene in front of them, Brian and Osborn looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"They are here!"
