I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 193: People's Hearts in Troubled Times

At noon, Wen Liang and Ava had left the outskirts of Detroit and found the car where Wen Liang had parked earlier. They threw the supplies in their backpacks into the back seat and drove off smoothly.

There were already a lot of stored supplies in the car, and with the four backpacks brought back, the back seat began to become crowded.

Ava sat in the passenger seat, looking back at the bag full of supplies, feeling very satisfied.

"This car is really nice!" Ava said happily, "It seems you are lucky, this car should have good performance, my father used to have a similar one!"

"I also think I'm lucky. The only drawback is that the fuel consumption is a bit high." Wen Liang looked forward, "Also, it would be even better if the capacity was larger!"

"I think it's great," Ava said, fiddling with a Glock pistol in her hand. "We haven't seen so much supplies in the previous team for a long time!"

"Does your previous team have a base? Are there other people?" Wen Liang asked.

Ava shook her head, “There are only a few of us… The only ones who survived the zombies were those who ran fast or stayed at home.

Except for the first few days when the crisis broke out, I hardly saw anyone else. What I heard more often were the sounds of gunfire and screams from invisible people...

Until a week later, the whole world was completely quiet... Oh, and besides the incident with the Umbrella Company, no other living people have been seen since then!"

We have seen too many tragic scenes in the world in the last days, and the bloodiness of the zombie crisis has cast a shadow over the hearts of the living.

It is particularly rare nowadays to find someone with such a sunny attitude like Ava. All we can say is that she is very strong and optimistic inside. Wen Liang is also very happy to have such a girl living with him.

The yellow Hummer drove off the interstate and headed west, circling the road network outside Detroit.

The Hummer didn't turn onto Highway 17 until they reached it. Under Ava's ambiguous command, the two searched for the location of Monroe's house as broadcasted.

Fortunately, the direction was correct, and at noon, the two finally found the so-called Monroe House!

Right next to Interstate 17, there is a conspicuous neon sign that says "Go to Monroe House from here."

Wen Liang parked the car under the sign and looked in the direction. He could see a group of bungalow buildings a hundred meters away. They looked like the common motels on the roadside, but they were a little bigger.

"That's it. I remember there's a large parking lot behind it!" Ava said excitedly, pointing in the distance.

I can't see anything from here, but I can confirm that there are no zombies nearby.

Wen Liang shifted the car into gear again, turned off the road, and walked along the path leading to Monroe's house.

As they got closer to the destination, Wen Liang could see clearly the parking lot that Ava had mentioned. Through the exposed side, he could see that there were already many cars parked inside. There were already twenty or thirty cars!

Arriving in front of the Monroe House, there is a slightly uneven cement ground. Looking at the square in front of it, there are hotels, gas stations, convenience stores, fast food restaurants, smoking rooms...

The car was still running, Wen Liang lowered the window and shouted outside, "Is anyone there?!"

Wen Liang's voice was loud, but there was no response after it came out. The silence outside was a little unsettling, and Ava couldn't help but clench the Colt in her hand.

"Is anyone there? If not, let's go..." Wen Liang shouted again.

Looking at the still quiet outside, Wen Liang decided to go outside for a few turns to see what was going on, so he honked the horn twice and prepared to start the car.

At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the door of the hotel, and a gun barrel appeared.

Wen Liang stopped immediately after noticing this, and Ava was about to raise the pistol in her hand.

"Damn it, are you trying to attract all those monsters here?!!"

A hoarse old voice was heard, and then a white old man appeared behind the gun barrel at the door. He was wearing a sloppy thick jacket, with messy gray hair and beard!

"Is this the place the radio was talking about, the Monroe House?" Wen Liang pointed around and asked the old man, "This place is not like what the radio said!"

"If you mean the shortwave frequency, then it's here. We have weapons and shelter here. The guards are out searching for food and driving away monsters. You don't think there's really no danger here, do you?" The strange old man muttered, sounding like he was explaining seriously.

"Although he looks different from what I imagined, this old man gives me a good feeling. What do you think?" Ava said in Wen Liang's ear.

"I always feel it's unreliable. This place doesn't look like it can provide shelter. Besides, this guy looks too honest. He told us everything. Isn't he afraid that the two of us will rob him? After all, if what he said is true, he is the only one here!" Wen Liang shook his head and whispered to Ava.

"Robbery? At this time, will anyone still rob? After all, it's not easy just to survive..."

Ava had never had this experience before. Several teams she met before had accepted her very kindly, so she naturally thought that now that zombies were about to exterminate humans, people should help each other. Who would rob each other?

At this moment, there was a sudden clanging sound in the house, causing the three people present to suddenly look inside.

The old man looked behind him in panic and shouted softly, "What are you doing?!"

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a panicked expression on her face came out and said nervously, "When will the escort team... come back? Can they... find... find my child?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then said, "Go back to the house first. When they come back, they will know that it is not safe outside!"

The middle-aged woman was driven back into the house. The moment she went back, she looked at Wen Liang and Ava with helplessness and regret.

"There are not many people alive. If you have made up your mind, you can stay for a few days and try it. Otherwise, leave early. You will attract those monsters." said the old man.

After hearing this, Ava looked at Wen Liang. She had finally met a living person again, and among them was a woman, which made her more inclined to stay.

So he said, "Why don't we go in and take a look first, and if it doesn't work, we can just leave before the guards come back. Anyway, an old man can't stop us, right?"

Wen Liang secretly sighed at the naive girl, but he was also confident that he could protect himself. If everything was normal here, that would be great. If there was a problem, it would be a good opportunity to teach Ava a lesson.

Thinking of this, Wen Liang replied, "Okay, but you must be vigilant!"

"Uh-huh!"

Emma agreed happily and opened the car door first to get out.

Wen Liang parked the car and followed Ava into the hotel.

The strange old man looked at the two people who were approaching and smiled brightly, "Welcome, welcome, come in and have a rest, you must be tired too, don't worry here, we are very safe..."

After letting the two people into the house, the old man did not follow them in, but closed the door from the outside!

The sound of the door closing startled Ava, and at this moment two big men appeared in the living room in front, each holding a submachine gun in his hand and pointing it at the two of them!

This left the two people still at the door with nowhere to hide, and two men appeared behind the doors on both sides. There were four people in total with four guns, all pointed at the two men.

And the middle-aged woman from before was now hiding in the corner, trembling with fear!

"I see, not all people in the last days are friendly and harmonious~" Wen Liang took the opportunity to teach Ava a lesson, hoping that she could learn from her mistakes.

"Don't talk, you bastard. Put the gun on the ground carefully!!"
