Chapter 40 - 37
Although Brian secretly guessed that Joel and Tommy might still be alive, after he calmed down and thought about it, he still felt that his idea was a bit ridiculous.
First of all, if Joel and Tommy were still alive, why didn't they come to look for them? They ran to Houston instead.
Secondly, the soldier just said that the two of them defeated an entire formation of fifty soldiers. He remembered that Tommy's marksmanship was very good, but he was not particularly sure whether Joel was that good.
Even if we take a step back, those two people are Joel and Tommy. Now they cannot go to Houston to look for them. What's more, the news he just heard is that Houston has fallen and has become infected. Even if they went to Houston, they would most likely return without success.
"Alas~"
Brian sighed. Although there was a small chance that these two people might be Joel and Tommy, this was only possible. He couldn't choose to go back just for this small chance. That would mean that they had put all their bets on it. All are weighed on this speculation.
He shook his head vigorously, stopped thinking about this problem, and returned his attention to the woods. Only then did he realize that Sarah had stood up from the grass and was walking in his direction.
Raising his hand to look at the time, Brian found that almost an hour had passed without realizing it, but there seemed to be no sign of them leaving. He thought for a while and said to Sarah, "I'm going to go ahead and take a look there. Are you coming?"
"Well, let's go!" Sarah gathered her clothes, was no longer in the mood to play, and followed Brian towards the front of the motorcade.
When they returned the same way, they passed by the more than thirty people who were being punished. These people had painful expressions on their faces, their knees were shaking violently, and some of them were even on the verge of collapse, looking extremely miserable.
But Brian just glanced at them and didn't pay attention. People always have to pay the corresponding price for their actions.
