Chapter 128 The Dilemma on the Highway (4)
......
"Alan, turn at the high school sign ahead, that road will be faster..."
Susan sat in the passenger seat and pointed to the road sign at the intersection not far away.
Li Ailun nodded slightly, glanced at the road sign ahead, and slowly stepped on the brake, gradually slowing the car down.
The car slowly turned right, and the scene inside the intersection gradually unfolded.
However, in the next second, Li Ailun's pupils suddenly contracted, and almost instinctively he slammed on the brakes, causing the car to jolt violently and come to an abrupt stop.
Not far away, in the parking lot outside the high school, there was a dense mass of zombies.
The horde of corpses was shadowy and numbered at least several hundred, gathered together like a surging black tide.
"..."
The three people in the car saw what was happening and felt their scalps tingle instantly, a chill running down their spines.
It turns out that the reason there were no traces of zombies in the town was because they had all gathered here.
Fortunately, Li Ailun reacted quickly and stopped the car in time, thus preventing the terrifying monsters from being alerted.
“Wow… Germany… France…”
Moore's large face was almost pressed against the car window, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't help but let out a gasp, his voice full of fear and disbelief.
"..."
Susan's gaze swept back and forth through the horde of corpses. Suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a medical station in the parking lot, and she instinctively lowered her voice and said:
“Allen, look over there, that’s an emergency medical services station…”
"No, there are too many walkers."
Upon hearing this, Li Ailun shook his head without hesitation, directly dispelling Susan's unrealistic idea.
He certainly saw the medical station surrounded by hordes of zombies, but now that they had antibiotics available for emergencies, there was no need to risk it here.
"..."
Moore breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Lee Allen had kept a clear head.
He was genuinely afraid that Lee Allen would be swayed by Susan's impulsive idea, so he hurriedly urged, "Lee, let's retreat quickly, whatever we do, don't let those monsters find us..."
"Okay, let's take a detour."
Li Ailun nodded in agreement and slowly maneuvered the car, gradually retreating from the dangerous intersection.
Only when the car had driven far away from the high school area did the three of them feel as if they had been released from their restraints and their tense nerves were completely relaxed.
……
Outside a pharmacy in the east of the town.
The three carefully observed their surroundings and, after confirming that there were no zombies in sight, they got out of the car one after another.
Without exchanging any words, Susan and Moore followed behind Li Ailun in unison, heading towards the seemingly quiet pharmacy.
Click...
Li Ailun reached out and slowly pushed open the glass door of the pharmacy, his wary eyes carefully observing the activity inside.
The pharmacy was unusually quiet, with no sign of the zombies.
But Li Ailun did not rush in. He held the dagger in reverse and tapped the door frame with the hilt to make a sound.
Knock knock... knock knock...
The sound echoed in the quiet pharmacy, sounding very abrupt.
"..."
Li Ailun waited quietly for more than ten seconds, and after confirming that there was no movement inside, he turned to the two people behind him and said:
"Let's go, let's finish this quickly, and then we'll go back."
After saying that, he stepped into the pharmacy first, followed closely by Susan and Moore.
Susan followed closely behind Li Ailun as they walked toward the shelf where medicines were displayed.
Moore then turned and headed straight for the pharmacy's restroom, intending to try his luck again and see if he could find a bargain.
With a click, Mo'er pushed open the bathroom door...
In that instant, a dark shadow flashed past his eyes.
"go to hell!!!"
With a furious roar, a filthy young Asian man, like a mad beast, suddenly burst out of the toilet, his utility knife gleaming coldly, and stabbed straight at Moore's face.
"Thanks……"
Caught off guard, Moore only saw a flash of cold light before his eyes. Instinctively, he tilted his head to the side, and the sharp blade grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody gash on his face, from which blood gushed out instantly.
Before he could react, the Asian man lunged forward and tackled him to the ground.
"I'm fighting with you!!!"
The Asian man, seemingly insane, straddled Moore, raised the utility knife high with both hands, and roared as he plunged it into Moore's neck.
"Fake..."
Moore instinctively reached out to block the fatal blow, his mind blank. When he finally came to his senses, he screamed for help at the top of his lungs, "Help me... Lee..."
Actually, Li Ailun had already noticed the situation before he even had to call out to him, and he ran over in a few steps.
"Huh?" Lee Allen was surprised to see that the person attacking Moore was a young Asian man, but he did not stop walking.
He darted forward, launched a flying kick, and precisely struck the Asian man's wrist, sending the utility knife flying from his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Lee Allen reached out and grabbed the Asian man's clothes, pulling him away from Moore and twisting his arm behind his back, finally bringing the crazed man under complete control.
"Let me go if you dare!!!"
"Bastards, I'll fight you to the death..."
The Asian man twisted and turned his body desperately, like a trapped wild beast struggling incessantly.
The more he struggled, the stronger Li Ailun's resistance became, causing him to scream in pain repeatedly.
"Ah...ah...ah..."
"Fake!!!"
Moore got up from the ground, only to feel a sharp pain on his face. When he touched it, his hand was covered in blood.
He was both shocked and furious. He rushed over and kicked the Asian man hard.
"Well……"
The Asian man groaned as he was kicked, but his eyes remained wide open as he glared fiercely at Moore, his gaze filled with resentment and anger.
"Fake..."
Moore was already angry because he had been attacked for no reason, and this made his anger even more intense. He pulled out his pistol and was about to go forward and kill him.
"If you dare glare at me again, I'll shoot you dead!"
"Alright, Moore, calm down..."
Just then, Susan stepped forward and grabbed the furious Moore, calming him down.
"Kill me! Kill me! You bastards..."
"...I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!!"
The Asian man seemed convinced he was going to die, and he started screaming wildly, eventually even uttering his native language.
"..."
Susan was tending to Moore's wounds when she heard this. She turned around in surprise and asked in Mandarin, "...A Chinese person?"
"Uh……"
The Asian man was taken aback by what he heard and stopped shouting. Only then did he notice that the woman in front of him had black hair and black eyes, just like him.
He instinctively turned his head and realized that the man who was controlling him also seemed to be of Chinese descent.
"You are……?"
The Asian man then realized that he seemed to have mistaken someone else for someone else; none of the people chasing him were Chinese.
"Do it yourself..."
Susan stuffed the blood-stained gauze, along with the bandages, into Moore's hand.
"..."
Moore stared blankly at the thing in his hand, speechless for a moment, and could only silently treat his wound.
"Allen, let him go first, there must be some misunderstanding here..."
Susan walked over, carefully examined the dirty young man in front of her, and asked in a gentle voice, "Why did you attack us?"
"I thought you were the people who were chasing me..."
