"Tic tac."
Scarlet blood slowly slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the snow-covered ground. Brian wiped the blood from his face with his palms, pushed the infected person lying on top of him, and climbed out of the snow with difficulty.
Blood-stained snow slid down his back. He bent down and pulled out the dagger stuck in the infected man's head, and then picked up the pistol that landed next to him. He looked at the people running around him, his eyes full of anxiety.
Suddenly, Brian noticed some figures lying not far away, and suddenly felt that they looked very familiar. He quickly ran towards them.
Coming closer, he looked at the very familiar figures in the snow. After a long time, he finally identified their identities. They were Allan, Sylvia, Anna and Wilfred.
It's just that at this moment they're no longer alive, but have become cold corpses on the ground.
"How... how could this happen!"
Seeing that the corpses in front of him were covered with large and small wounds, and blood was constantly flowing, Brian's face showed pain, and he knelt weakly on the snow, roaring angrily and reluctantly.
"Sarah... Sarah... she's not here!"
Suddenly, Brian seemed to notice something. His eyes quickly searched through the corpses on the ground and found that the small figure he was familiar with was not there.
As if he sensed something, he suddenly got up from the ground and walked desperately towards the fleeing crowd in front of him. As if he had some kind of premonition, he could tell exactly which direction Sarah was facing.
Push aside all those blocking his path, shoot or dodge the infected who try to attack him, and move forward without hesitation.
"Sarah! Where are you?"
Walking through the wind and snow, Brian kept calling out to Sarah, but the surroundings were filled with the roaring wind, the sound of gunfire, and the panicked screams of the crowd. He couldn't get any answers. He looked along the path. On the road there were corpses strewn in the snow and his expression began to become more and more maniacal.
"... I... I'm here..."
At that moment, in the strong wind not far away, intermittent sounds suddenly came that were very familiar to him.
Brian's body shook violently and ran desperately in the direction of the sound and sure enough, he found Sarah's figure in front.
But the other party's situation at this time was very dangerous. He saw an infected body pressing on his body due to it being too weak, he couldn't push it away immediately, and he was only able to pull it out little by little.
But several infected people around her had already noticed her, let out heart-wrenching screams and ran towards her.
He had no choice but to raise his pistol and shoot at the infected people who attacked, slowing them down. At the same time, he kept moving his body backwards, trying to escape quickly.
"Sarah, don't be afraid, I'm coming!"
Seeing Sarah in crisis, Brian shouted loudly to let the other party know that he was coming. At the same time, he raised his pistol and shot at the infected people who were running.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The pistol fired several times and the bullets slid through the barrel, shot out of the muzzle, and flew quickly toward the infected body in the distance.
But the howling of the wind seriously interfered with the flight path of the bullets, and they all veered off their original directions and fell feebly on the snow.
Sarah, who had no support, had no choice but to shoot her pistol desperately, but after a while, the gun made a "clicking" sound and all the bullets were depleted.
Without the bullets blocking, the infected red-eyed person quickly ran towards Sarah, who had not yet broken free. With a heart-rending scream, he opened his bloody mouth and bit into the frail body.
In an instant, blood gushed out, and the girl's entire body twitched. His eyes filled with nostalgia, and then his body became light, and he closed his eyes weakly.
"No!"
Seeing Sarah's tragic death in front of him, Brian's eyes were red and his heart was contracting as if he was being cut with a knife. Like a monster that had lost its mind, it desperately shot towards the spot, trying to stop the behavior of these monsters.
"Shi-!"
But before he could take a few steps forward, a whistle suddenly came from his side, and then a stalker jumped up and knocked him to the ground hard.
Before Brian could react, he sat on top of him, raised his dry arm, and hit his head hard.
.....
"Ah!"
Brian suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes, sat up from his seat, gasped for air, and looked around blankly. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his forehead, and subconsciously stretched out his hand, he was actually sweating profusely.
He looked around again and found that he was still on the bus. Recalling the scenes in his mind, he immediately understood that he had just had a nightmare. Then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes a little tired, and felt weak.
Then Brian turned his head to see how his companions were behind him, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a few people sitting behind him looking at him with a very strange look.
Sarah's face turned red for some reason. When she saw him turn his head to look, she quickly covered her face with her small hands. You could see from the spaces between his fingers that he had been watching Brian's movements.
Seeing that the people behind him were looking at him strangely, Brian felt a little uncomfortable. He quickly glanced at himself, thinking that there was something strange about his body.
But after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find anything wrong. Suddenly he felt confused and asked stutteringly, "You... why are you looking at me like that?"
"hehe-!"
Seeing his reaction, Anna and the others subconsciously covered their mouths and chuckled. Only Sylvia noticed Brian's sweaty head, handed him some tissues, and asked worriedly, "What, you had a nightmare?"
"Yes..." Brian took the handkerchief and wiped the hot sweat from his forehead. The eyes of others were fixed on him; I'm sure you'd noticed his reaction just now. Without having to look in the mirror, he knew that his face was soaked, clear evidence of the nightmare that had tormented him.
Still a little confused, Brian looked at the people behind him, who were still chuckling. A silent sigh formed inside him. If they don't mind that I have a nightmare, could they at least stop laughing for a moment? he thought, without saying anything.
Apparently seeing what Brian was thinking, Anna gradually stopped smiling, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly curved, and she said in a low voice, "You had a nightmare just now, and you kept mentioning Sarah~."
He made the last "oh" sound very long and then used a nervous, strange voice to mimic what Brian said in his dream just now.
"Sarah, where are you?"
"Sarah, don't be afraid, I'm coming"
"..."
Then, as if he couldn't speak anymore, the smile he had just suppressed immediately broke, he covered his mouth, and began to laugh again.
After hearing what Anna said, Brian felt as if his thoughts were revealed and his cheeks immediately turned red. He looked at Sarah, who was still covering her face, and quickly turned around, not looking at the people behind him, and spoke as if it was an objection.
"No... I... I just... I didn't..."
But this stuttering explanation made the laughter behind him even louder.
"That's..."
Just as Brian was about to retort, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a soldier gradually appearing out of the car window at the hospital. He quickly jumped the electric gate and ran quickly to the front of the convoy.
Seeing this scene, he seemed to be struck by lightning. Suddenly he got up from his seat and the sweat that had been wiped off came out again.
Looking at the soldier's back, Brian suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was extremely familiar, as if he had seen it before.
He suddenly remembered everything that happened in the nightmare just now. It seemed like this scene had happened before. His end in the nightmare and the tragic death of all his comrades also began when the soldier escaped from the hospital.
Thump! Thump!
She doesn't know when she felt palpitations in Brian's heart again, but this time the feeling was fiercer than the time outside at that moment, as if telling her that a danger was about to strike, that all the scenes could come true.
"Brian, what's wrong with you?"
The few people who were still laughing in the back seat suddenly got up when they saw Brian worried, and the expressions on their faces became very ugly. Everyone looked at each other and asked with some concern.
"Could it be that the scenes in my dream are all real..."
As if he hadn't heard the question from the person behind him, Brian was still looking out the window, his heart beating like a turbulent wave.
Although the scene in front of him was exactly the same as the one that appeared in his dream, he wasn't sure if it was true or not, and whether he should tell the military to prepare in advance.
But he quickly scrapped that idea. He had no proof that danger was coming; I couldn't justify alarming everyone just because of a bad dream. What would they say? That I made them run for something meaningless? If he did, he would surely be labeled crazy. Moreover, even if their fears were true, it was too late to take preventive measures.
Brian took a deep breath and shook his head. Regardless of whether everything in the dream was fake or if it was really dangerous, he thought it was better to leave here first to be safe. If it were true, I would have more time to make him escape.
He slowly turned around and looked at the people in the seats behind him with a serious face. Amid everyone's expressions of bewilderment, he said quietly, "Everyone, it looks like we have to leave this bus!"
