Chapter 49 - 45
No matter how brutal the fighting was around the town, no matter how many infected and hidden people emerged from the dark alleys, no matter what those people who hid in order to avoid fighting the infected and waited for opportunities to fish in troubled waters did, the people who took refuge in the center of the small town didn't know it.
At this moment, women, children, and the elderly are taking refuge in the houses in the center of the town. Some are huddled in the corner with their relatives, praying silently with their hands clasped together. Some are standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the lights of the town. The sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard, and their faces were full of hesitation and worry. Some of them had already carried their belongings on their backs. If they found anything wrong, they would run away.
"Hey, what a miserable fate!" Noticing the appearances of all the people in front of him, Brian leaned against the window and rubbed his temples with a headache.
He also expressed that he was very speechless about this situation. He had just left Dallas for a day. First, he encountered a series of car accidents that blocked the highway in the morning, and then he encountered a large number of infected people raids at night. Who can tell him what's going on outside? When did our world become so dangerous?
Sarah stood next to Brian, her face full of unconcealable tiredness. After being awakened by the alarm, she was completely in a state of confusion.
She shook her head, took out her kettle, and took a sip of water. She looked at the scenes and sounds outside the window and asked with some concern, "Those infected people shouldn't break in."
Brian raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already 2:50. Nearly two hours had passed since the attack by the infected. Feeling a little relieved, Brian patted Sarah's little hand and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine.""
At this time, the soldiers patrolling the street seemed to have received some news and suddenly mobilized. Two soldiers raised their guns and aimed at the end of the street on the other side. The other two people soldiers moved barricades across the street, seemingly trying to block something.
The situation outside naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the house. They hurried to the door and window, and the hesitation on their faces gradually turned into fear. Obviously, these people thought that the infected had broken through the defense line.
But someone soon noticed something was wrong, because there was no trace of panic on the faces of these soldiers, and the roadblock only blocked a large section of the road, not all of it, which obviously could not be used to defend against the infected.
"Didi——!"
