Brian watched the three people returning from outside, noticed the quilts in their hands, and sighed silently. Although they had delivered all the supplies, they still had a tent that Tracy could supervise, and at least those quilts would allow them to stay warm during the night.
"Huh?"
But when he looked at Wilfred's face, he frowned subconsciously. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that there seemed to be something wrong with the other person's condition and his whole face looked a little lethargic. Due to the light, it seemed that the eyes were slightly dark, and she looked in very bad condition.
"Wilfred, I think you don't seem to be in a good mood. Are you okay?" As the three approached, Brian looked at Wilfred and asked with concern.
Wilfred put the quilt in his hand inside the tent and was shocked when he heard Brian's words. He subconsciously covered his wrists, pretended he didn't care, and said, "I'm fine. Maybe that's what I experienced today was a lot, so I feel a bit tired."
"Yes?"
His eyes were still staring at Wilfred's body. For some reason, Brian always felt that something was wrong.
However, it seemed that it was nothing serious when he saw the other party. He could only secretly think that maybe he had thought too much, and then he didn't ask any more questions. After eating all the bread in his hand, he opened the book in his hand again.
Seeing that Brian wasn't paying attention to him, Wilfred immediately breathed a sigh of relief and touched his face. Is their hidden secret already so obvious?
"Dad, if you're tired, go get a quick rest." After hearing Brian's words, Anna turned her head and saw that her father's face was not very well, and quickly wanted him to go to the store to rest.
"I'm not sleepy yet. We'll leave tomorrow. You should go to rest first." Seeing his daughter's worried expression, Wilfred patted her hand in relief. When he said they would be leaving tomorrow, his face changed, a slight feeling of joy on his face.
The two persuaded each other several times, but in the end Anna could not defeat her father, so she had no choice but to enter the tent to rest alone.
Looking at his daughter's back, Wilfred breathed a sigh of relief, and then lightly clenched his fists with eyes full of determination.
Beside him, Lucy was wiping her body with a wet towel that she didn't know where she had gotten it from. He noticed something strange about Wilfred and looked at him with a face full of surprise. But after all, I didn't know him. Since these people were familiar with him, he didn't ask any questions and just minded my own business.
As time passed, the entire reception room became silent. Everyone knew that tomorrow they would go to the quarantine area, and they also understood that after tomorrow they would only have two endings, either they would be in the quarantine area or they would die on the way.
So, after nine o'clock, most of them returned to their tents and fell asleep early to recharge their batteries for tomorrow's last trip.
"Ha ~~"
Feeling a little tired, Brian couldn't help yawning, put down the book in his hand, got up, and got ready to go back to the tent to sleep.
But as soon as he got up, he found that Wilfred hadn't fallen asleep either, and asked curiously, "Aren't you sleeping?"
Seeing that Brian seemed to be going to sleep, Wilfred's eyes sparkled with joy. He coughed twice and pretended to be indifferent and said, "You go to sleep first. I'm thinking about something, so I'll go to sleep right away. ".
Hearing this, Brian naturally realized that the other party was trying to trick him, but he didn't pay attention. He just said oh, he went into the store and lay down next to Sarah.
Perhaps she sensed Brian's arrival, but as she slept, Sarah instinctively turned to the side, raised her head slightly, and hugged him in an octopus-like posture out of habit.
Sensing Sarah's movements, Brian also had a customary expression. He put his arms under Sarah's head and turned his body slightly to give her the most comfortable sleeping position.
Wilfred, who was at the door of the store, heard the steady breathing inside and was relieved. Now he was finally the only one left. He suddenly felt very tired, but as soon as he had this thought, he immediately shook his head, cheering himself up to avoid falling asleep.
She couldn't fall asleep, she had to restrain herself, at least she couldn't fall asleep until her daughter entered the quarantine area. He covered his wrist again, feeling that his body was a little out of control, and continued to perk up.
In this silent reception hall, only Wilfred was struggling hard. If there was a mirror here right now, I might find that he had bloodshot eyes.
...
Early the next morning, Brian was awakened by the movement outside the store. He slowly opened his eyes and looked outside. He found that there were already many people walking outside. He raised his watch and looked, it was already six o'clock.
She looked inside the tent, only Anna, Allan and Sarah were still there, Lucy was no longer there at that moment. As for Wilfred, who wasn't seen sleeping near the tent last night, he should have gotten up anyway.
Brian untied Sarah with ease like an octopus and walked out of the store. He found that most of the survivors stayed in the tent, ate the remaining food, and replenished their physical strength.
He searched everywhere in the reception hall, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find Wilfred and Lucy. He couldn't help scratching his head, and said strangely, "Huh? Where did they go?"
Seeing that the search for the two people inside was fruitless, Brian saw that it was indeed getting late, so he stopped searching. After all, how could the two people be lost? He turned around, patted the tent hard, and shouted inside, "We're about to leave, get up quickly!"
Along with their screams, the three people who were still sleeping soundly in the tent turned their bodies, rubbed their eyes with their hands, and woke up in a daze.
Seeing that everyone woke up, Brian stopped screaming, grabbed his backpack and went outside.
Opening the door, the change in temperature between inside and outside made Brian shiver coldly. At that time, there were many survivors outside and they were all moving their bodies to adjust to the cold outside.
Suddenly, he found that all the hunters who were kneeling at the door last night were gone. He looked around and found no sign of those men. He shook his head secretly, knowing that these people should have been dealt with in advance.
The end result is probably dead. After all, if they are allowed to leave like this, more survivors who have not yet arrived here will be harmed. This is something that no one wants to see.
"Good morning, Brian!"
At that moment, Lucy appeared out of nowhere, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel, walked over to Brian, and greeted him.
Hearing the sound, Brian turned around and saw Lucy dressed in a thin shirt, her hair cut short, and her face covered in sweat. He seemed to have been exercising just now.
He looked at the other person's exposed arms, felt the cold wind blow by, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "You've been there so little, aren't you cold?"
"Haha, it's okay. I've always been like this and I've been used to it for a long time." Lucy was used to this question and said nonchalantly.
Then he wanted to go back to the reception hall, but as soon as he took steps, he suddenly seemed to think of something. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Go see Wilfred, his condition... something is wrong."
"What do you mean?" After hearing this, Brian was stunned for a moment, then frowned, not understanding why the other party would say such a thing.
Lucy shrugged her shoulders and said nothing. He only pointed in one direction, where Wilfred was waving his limbs under a tree and pacing back and forth.
"Okay, I'll go and have a look. After you enter, ask Sarah and the others to pack quickly. We should leave soon."
After saying goodbye to Lucy, Brian walked straight in Wilfred's direction.
At first, she didn't know what Lucy meant, but when she saw Wilfred's face, she instantly understood what it meant. Looking at the face with an emaciated appearance, dark circles under the eyes, his face, his bloodshot eyes, he completely lost the spirit of the past, and was immediately shocked on the spot.
Brian stood there, looking at Wilfred in surprise. He didn't understand why the other party became like this. He asked with some uncertainty, "You... how did you become like this? Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Ahem..."
Wilfred had seen Brian coming from a distance and had already thought about his words. At that moment, he noticed the way Brian was looking at him, raised his hand, put his fist to his mouth, and coughed twice. A slightly hoarse voice: "I couldn't sleep last night."
"We'll go to Atlanta later, you can't do this," Brian looked at the other party's poor condition and said worriedly, not understanding how the other party could be like this.
"Okay." Wilfred waved his hand, patted his chest, braced himself, and said, "It's just that I haven't slept all night. I can still bear it. I won't sleep until I enter the quarantine area."
After listening to Wilfred's explanation, Brian nodded, still a little worried, and looked at the other person's body, but then his eyes stayed on the other person's gloved hands, and he asked a little strangely, "Why do you wear gloves?"
"Ah?"
Seeing Brian ask about his gloves, Wilfred's expression instantly became nervous, but he quickly suppressed his emotions, chuckled, and said, "I found him by accident just now. If I don't use it, it will be in vain."
Then he looked something out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that Brian wanted to go on saying something, he quickly pointed over there and said, "Look, the caravan is already here, let's go back and get ready to go!"
