Chapter 131 The Predicament on the Highway (The End)
......
"Everyone, take a weapon..."
Rick glanced at everyone and then spoke.
"What do you mean? This isn't the weapon we need; we need guns, firearms..."
Andrea glanced at the weapon case and frowned.
She believed that using these melee weapons meant facing zombies at close range, which was far too dangerous and not nearly as reliable as firearms.
"We've discussed this issue. Only those who know how to use a gun should carry it; everyone else must undergo training before being allowed to carry one..."
Sean explained briefly, then turned his head to the side, saying meaningfully, "To prevent someone from firing wildly at the slightest sound..."
"..."
Andrea sensed a hidden meaning in Sean's words and retorted somewhat defiantly, "The slightest disturbance won't scare me..."
"If someone fires at the wrong time, and those bastards happen to walk by, we're all finished, so don't even think about getting a gun."
Unlike Rick, Sean was not good-natured and spoke frankly.
He didn't want to lose his life because of some novice's reckless actions.
"..."
Andrea then realized that this whole thing was directed at her.
Because now, besides a few combatants, the only other members of the team are the two sisters who also have guns.
Just as Andrea was trying to find the right words to plead her case, Amy glanced at her sister, then pulled out a small black revolver and walked up to Rick.
"..."
Despite her reluctance, Amy handed the revolver to Rick, adding, "This is a gift from Uncle. Please keep it safe."
The pistol was given to her by Li Ailun when they were at the reservoir camp. She had always cherished it, but now she just wanted to get a little revenge on her sister, so she had to reluctantly part with it for the time being.
"..."
Andrea was furious when she saw this, but she couldn't show it, so she could only sulk in her heart.
"..."
Rick glanced at the gleaming revolver in her hand, took it from her, and solemnly assured her, "I will. Once you've learned how to use a gun, it'll still be yours."
"Thanks......"
After receiving the promise, Amy smiled sweetly and then picked out a small and sharp dagger from the weapon case.
Before leaving, she gave her sister a defiant look, and seeing her sister's somewhat unpleasant expression, she walked away satisfied.
[That brat, now she's deliberately going against me...]
Andrea glared at her angrily, but it was too late to say anything now that the deed was done.
She reluctantly handed over her pistol and specifically chose the largest machete...
Finally, except for the two children, everyone picked out a weapon for self-defense.
"..."
After the weapons were distributed, Rick finally said, "Since Allen and the others haven't returned yet, and we're staying here for the time being, we need to consider some things..."
"We don't have much food left..."
He glanced at T-boy, who was clearly weakened, and continued, "And we're also lacking medicine, so we have to expand the search area, but we need to do it in a planned way..."
"I know some herbs that should help with his injury..."
Daryl suddenly spoke up, noticing everyone looking at him curiously, and explained, "I used to get injured a lot when I was hunting. An old hunter taught me this. I'll go look for it in the woods..."
"We're just sitting here idly anyway, why don't we go together and gather some wild vegetables and fruits..."
Lori then made a suggestion.
Her idea was immediately recognized by the others, since they had already collected all the supplies that could be collected on the road, and instead of waiting here idly, they might as well do something to pass the time.
"..."
Rick glanced at his wife, nodded, then looked at his good friend Sean and said, "Maybe we can try our luck and see if we can catch any prey..."
"..."
Seeing Rick looking at him, Sean said, "I'm fine..."
"Dell will stay and repair the RV..."
Rick said, then turned to Dr. Jenner, paused, and added, "Jenner, stay and look after T-boy too."
"OK……"
Dr. Jenner nodded upon hearing this; Rick's arrangement suited him perfectly.
"The rest of you, move together..."
Seeing that no one objected, Rick reminded them again, "Remember, stay quiet, be alert, keep your distance, but don't leave our sight..."
"..."
Everyone naturally nodded in response.
"Alright everyone, pack your things, let's get ready to go..."
"Sean said."
......
Dell...
Rick walked up to the RV and told Dale, who was sitting by the door, "You continue fixing the vehicle. We need to keep this RV on standby at all times."
"I will, and I wish you good luck!"
"Could you please look after our two children..."
Rick added.
He didn't intend to bring little Karl and Sophia along; he felt at ease leaving the two children in the care of this honest and reliable old man.
"Of course, no problem..."
Dell naturally had no objection and nodded solemnly to him.
"I want to go with you. You need manpower, right?"
Little Carl wasn't happy about this and looked at his father, saying, "I can help too..."
“Rick…”
Carol then interjected.
Although she understood Rick meant well, after yesterday's harrowing experience, she was now unwilling to be separated from her daughter.
She looked into Rick's eyes and said somewhat shyly, "I'd like to bring Sophia along too..."
"Well......"
Rick understood what Carol meant, then turned to look at his wife, wanting to see what she thought.
"..."
Lori felt the same way as Carol, but she still said, "You decide. I can't always be the bad guy."
"I want to go..."
Carl continued to plead, eager to contribute to the team and unwilling to be treated like a child any longer.
"..."
Seeing the expectant look on little Carl's face, Dell chimed in, "Everyone can look after him, he should be safe..."
"..."
Rick glanced at the group who were ready to leave, thinking that looking after the two children should be more than enough, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted his son's head, solemnly instructing him, "Just like everyone else, never let yourself out of our sight..."
"Um......"
Little Karl was naturally delighted and nodded repeatedly.
After Rick finished giving his instructions and left, Dale, who was standing to the side, secretly winked at him affectionately.
Little Karl responded with a smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he began to anticipate the adventure to come.
