Chapter 61 - Escape

Tracy looked at this purgatory scene with narrowed eyes, not paying any more attention to the walkie-talkie in her hand, she grabbed the rifle in her hand, turned around and ran towards the stairs, obviously wanting to run to help.

"Don't go there, you'll die!"

Wilfred noticed Tracy's situation beforehand and blocked her path before the other party was about to leave. From the interaction of this moment, he could already estimate the character of the other party. By seeing his expression right now, you can also guess what he's thinking.

Wilfred had a very favorable impression of such a kind-hearted person, and naturally he didn't want the other person to be in danger, so he quickly comforted him by saying, "Calm down! Don't be impulsive. All the people ran away and now those soldiers have escaped. You are only one person and you will die in vain if you go!

But Tracy had already been swept up in her enthusiasm and couldn't hear what the others were saying. He shouted sternly at the person in front of him who was blocking his way: "Get out of my way!"

After saying that, he saw that Wilfred had no intention of giving in, and even vaguely planned to raise his gun and force the other party to give in.

"What are you going to do!"

Seeing this, Anna immediately raised her pistol and pointed it at Tracy. Although the other party had helped her, she would show no mercy if her father's safety was in danger.

"Anna, put the gun down." Seeing his daughter's movement, Wilfred quickly raised his hand to stop her.

Then he looked Tracy in the eye again, and said calmly, "Although I don't know where so many infected people came from, it's over now. Didn't you see that the soldiers have fled? If you go there alone, you are just throwing an egg at a stone, it won't have the slightest effect, and you will give your life in vain, you have to think about it..."

At that moment, Tracy also understood that she had been a bit impulsive at the time, but her thoughts didn't change. He said, "Even if I can't save the situation, I must inform the commander!"

"Look!"

Just as Tracy finished speaking, Allan, who was still paying attention to the situation outside, raised his finger and pointed out the window, exclaiming loudly.

When everyone heard this, everyone looked towards the direction of the convoy outside. They saw a truck carrying supplies suddenly advancing from the back of the convoy. He didn't care about the people or infected people in front of him and ran them over directly.

As the truck rushed towards the group of infected, the speed stopped suddenly due to the number of infected, but the truck driver stepped on the accelerator desperately and reluctantly drove the truck to the entrance of the hospital.

It's just that, in that moment, countless infected people have climbed into the truck, frantically banging on doors and windows, trying to catch the humans inside.

"Boom!"

By the time the truck stopped, the car appeared to be half-detonated by something. There was a flash of white light, followed by a violent explosion. All the infected people around the truck flew away, and corpses and blood flew through the air. The flames from the explosion rose into the sky and even left a huge crater in the ground. People in the truck detonated the grenades and ammunition throughout the supply truck.

The wall of the hospital suddenly collapsed, creating a large breach. The explosion wiped out all the infected people near the truck, and the aftermath also knocked down all the infected people in the distance, greatly slowing its pace and giving the convoy a chance. People had time to escape.

During this period, the dozen trucks at the front of the convoy suddenly turned a corner, pulled into the crosswalk, exited the surrounding area of infected people, and quickly headed towards the direction of the road from which they came, even after passing through the crowd. There was no intention of stopping.

Looking at the truck with the American flag in front, it was the car in which the commander of the convoy was traveling. Even without guessing, he knew that the explosion at the time was to cover the evacuation of these vehicles.

The sudden explosion took everyone in the restaurant by surprise, and everyone was stunned for a moment, but Brian quickly came to his senses and shouted to the people around him, "Let's take advantage of this opportunity... Let's go quickly!"

Then he said to Tracy, "You saw it just now. The commander of the convoy has evacuated. Don't rush stupidly. Come with us!"

Tracy was silent for a while, looked at the chaotic scene outside the window, her hand holding the gun tightened slightly, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she said in a low voice, "I understand, let's evacuate here first."

Seeing this, Brian was overjoyed and secretly relieved. In fact, there were too many children and women on his team. Under certain circumstances, it was very easy for them to become the primary target of others. Now there is with the incorporation of this soldier. You can still have a certain deterrent effect with the uniform.

"Then let's go quickly!"

Everyone quickly gathered and headed back to the first floor, secretly glad they had left the bus early; otherwise, judging by the position of his bus, it would most likely have turned into a scene like Brian's nightmare.

Observing the reactions of the people around her with some strangeness, Tracy noticed that for a moment now, these people's eyes had been staring at the boy from time to time.

And he remembered the situation upstairs a moment ago. Although everyone looked very surprised, they seemed to recover faster than her, as if they were prepared in their hearts.

This made Tracy feel a little confused. He wanted to ask, but after observing the surrounding situation, it seemed like it wasn't a good time. After a moment of hesitation, he decided to wait until it was safe to ask.

Brian wasn't in the mood to care about other people's eyes now. He looked outside and found that basically all the infected people were chasing the fleeing people, and there were still no signs of the infected people approaching his side on the street. "You have to go out through the back alley."

"Why?" Wilfred also came to the door, observed the situation outside, and said puzzled: "The infected people haven't come to our side yet, and we can go for cover, so why should we down the back alley?"

" No," Brian shook his head, showing disapproval. Now that the snowstorm hasn't stopped, even if we go off the road, we won't be able to make much progress and we might also be attacked by the infected. We better not move for now. We can take the back trail, get as close to the road as possible, and then find a safe place to temporarily shelter in place until the storm passes."

When Wilfred heard what Brian said, surprise crossed his eyes, as if he had never met the boy in front of him before, he looked him up and down again.

His mental activity at that moment was like that of Osborne in Dallas, amazed by the intelligence of the boy in front of him.

However, this kind of surprise is only temporary. Wilfred quickly returned to normal, nodded and said, "Okay, as you said. Let's go."

After hearing Brian's words, the others, although some were very surprised, but now was not the time to speak, they all nodded their heads, and then ran to the kitchen, where there was a back door.

"Crunch~Crunch~"

The snow in the streets of the alleys was thicker than in the avenues. It was extremely difficult for the group of people to walk. The snow made a crunch when they stepped on them. They had to pay attention to obstacles under their feet and watch out for infected people who could appear at any time.

Although they were separated by a house, they could still clearly hear gunshots and screams coming from the street, and they also found that sounds of broken glass and violent collisions could occasionally be heard in the buildings they passed by.

Obviously, there were many infected people in these buildings. Fortunately, the snowstorm provided them with some cover, and they made sure not to make too much noise. In addition, the chaos in the street attracted the attention of the infected, so they had to be cautious. If they didn't pay attention, it was very likely that the infected would attack them from both sides, and in that case, there would really be no way to escape.

This discovery scared everyone a little and they became more cautious, lowered the body and moved forward quickly.

The location of Wells Douglas Hospital was not far from the road. Although the alleys were winding, they looked in the direction they came from and kept moving forward. After an unknown amount of time, they finally drifted away.

The roars of the infected from behind have become much weaker. They seem to be advancing unhindered and have left most of the fleeing survivors behind. There are no abnormal noises nearby. It seems that they are safe for the time being.

Seeing this, everyone stopped slowly, and Wilfred shouted loudly, "Enough is enough, the road is not far away. Let's first find a place to avoid this snowstorm."

After hearing this, everyone squinted and began to look for a place to hide.

But this place still didn't seem to be out of reach of the hospital. There were still many hospital buildings around, but they didn't dare to enter the building with the red cross hanging on it.

"How about we go there?"

While several people were searching, Sarah suddenly pointed to a place, but her voice was too low and no one heard her.

Others couldn't hear him, but Brian, who had been by his side, could hear him clearly. He looked in the direction of the girl's finger and discovered that it was a bank near the road.
