Egger and others quickly searched these houses and found no important supplies except a shotgun.
In the kitchen, Thomas opened the lid with great interest. He found a pot of soup that looked pretty good, so he put a spoon in and stirred it up, and finally fished out a few frogs.
If he had seen these frogs a few days ago, Thomas would probably have an appetite, but today, he felt a little off.
Doesn’t canned beef taste delicious?
fragrant.
After stopping the search, what needs to be determined now is where the infected group went after passing here.
Fortunately, after everyone searched around, they found half bloody footprints on the mud next to these buildings.
Joanna drove the pickup truck and followed the direction of the footprints. Then she came to a swamp and stopped the car.
"Why did you stop the car?" Iger asked Joanna.
"There is a swamp ahead, it's hard to get through." Joanna said to Iger.
At this time, Phoebe, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said to Joanna: "Let me try."
So the two switched places, with Phoebe driving and Joanna sitting in the passenger seat.
Driving in the swamp does not rely on brute force or luck, but you must be able to choose the road. This skill can only be understood but cannot be explained. Generally speaking, you will get it after getting stuck in the car a few times.
Phoebe is a camping enthusiast. She may not be as good at driving any car as Andy, but she is very experienced in all kinds of bad road conditions.
The pickup truck was driving forward in four-wheel drive mode. Phoebe was familiar with the road. After shaking for more than ten minutes, Egg suddenly spoke.
"Phoebe, turn around." Egg said to Phoebe.
"Huh?" Phoebe didn't know why Egg turned around. Didn't he discover the whereabouts of the infected person?
"We chose the wrong path. It is impossible for an infected person to go in this direction." Egg said to Phoebe.
Just now, Egger only considered following the direction of the footprints, but he forgot to consider the most important point.
In such a difficult swamp, the infected group will most likely not walk through it, they will go around it.
Yes, the infected must be treated as living creatures, not mindless zombies, Egger secretly warned himself.
Phoebe carefully chose the road and turned around. It took nearly 20 minutes to drive the car to the starting point.
There are now four directions, front, rear, left and right. In front is the swamp; behind is the way they came, leaving only two directions: left and right.
Come on, take a guess.
"Thomas, which way do you think the infected people will go to the left or right?" Egg suddenly asked Thomas.
"Ah?" Thomas was stunned for a moment after hearing what Iger said, and then he became excited, "The right side must be the right side. My intuition tells me that they are heading to the right."
"Phoebe, turn left." Egg said directly to Phoebe without waiting for Thomas to finish speaking.
"Ha, okay." Phoebe laughed loudly, then turned the steering wheel and turned to the left, leaving Thomas with a question mark on his face.
There was a high and steep grassy slope ahead. In order to prevent the car from skidding due to insufficient power going up the slope, Phoebe raised the speed of the car to the limit that could be driven on the grass.
"Yo ho!"
The pickup truck rushed up the slope like a roller coaster, and Joanna shouted excitedly.
After the pickup truck climbed more than half of the slope, the speed dropped significantly. At this time, Phoebe quickly shifted gears, pushed the accelerator to the bottom, and the pickup truck rushed to the top of the slope amidst the roar of the engine.
Unexpectedly, the top of this grassy slope was very narrow, less than a few meters. As soon as the pickup truck reached the top of the slope, it immediately rushed down the steep slope, just like a roller coaster.
What's more exciting than the roller coaster is that there is a road under the steep slope, and the road is crowded with infected people who are staggering forward.
The four people's eyes widened, no one expected the surprise to be so unexpected.
The pickup truck was going downhill at a high speed. Phoebe, who had driven on the grass, knew that turning the steering wheel or braking hard at this time would cause it to slide or even roll over. Moreover, the pickup truck was only more than ten meters away from the infected person.
There is no way to avoid it.
"Hurry up!" Phoebe yelled. She didn't step on the brakes, but instead stepped on the accelerator.
Since there is no way to avoid it, just run into it.
A semi-old Ford pickup truck roared down the tall grass slope with a roar and black smoke from its rear. Like an angry monster, it rushed towards the group of infected people.
.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
There was a sound like a drum, the pickup truck swayed from side to side like a boat, and the pickup truck's engine made a muffled sound as if it was about to stall.
At the critical moment when the engine was about to stall, Phoebe quickly shifted into a gear. Now in everyone's field of vision, there were airtight infected people in front, back, left and right, and the pickup truck was using powerful power to open a passage.
At this moment, an indescribable scream sounded in her ears. Phoebe's eyes went dark and she fainted. The pickup truck that was released from the accelerator was stuck by the infected person who fell to the ground and stalled.
Second tone.
The third tone.
The fourth tone.
Screams rang out from the front, back, left, and right of the stalled pickup truck, and the infected people, inspired by the screams, were frantically hitting the pickup truck with their limbs and bodies.
What a trap, are they all going to be wiped out here?
At this moment, Egger felt that time had slowed down. If he could do it over again, he would like to say three words to Joanna.
sorry.
Sorry, I should have listened to Thomas and chosen his side.
Just when Iger was about to draw his gun and fight, Joanna rushed over from the passenger seat. She lay on Phoebe's feet, reached to the side of the seat, pulled the seat adjuster hard, and directly adjusted the main driver's seat to
Lying position.
Then, Joanna shouted to Iger: "Iger, drag Phoebe away."
When Egg heard Joanna's words, he picked up the clothes on Phoebe's shoulders and pulled hard, dragging Phoebe from the driver's seat to the second row.
In just a few seconds, the pickup truck withstood dozens of hits and blows from the infected. Fortunately, they were not as brutal as in the movie and knew how to hit the glass directly. Most of the hits and knocks from the infected people surrounding the pickup truck were
The blows all hit the solid iron sheet of the pickup truck.
After the unconscious Phoebe was dragged away, Joanna got into the cab. She stretched out her hand and pulled the driver's seat back into place. She leaned back on the seat, stepped on the clutch, and restarted the ignition.
"boom!"
As soon as the pickup truck started, it roared. Joanna turned the steering wheel to death, then throttled to the bottom. The pickup truck, which was originally stuck by the infected person who fell to the ground, made a crazy turn and knocked down a large area blocking it.
The infected person in front.
Then, amid a cloud of black smoke rising from the friction of tires, the pickup truck slammed into the group of infected people and forcibly ran over the fallen bodies.
During the crazy bumps, the pickup truck's eyes suddenly lit up and it finally broke out of the crowd of infected people. Joanna accelerated the speed to more than 80 yards within 10 seconds. She suddenly turned the steering wheel hard and threw the car almost to pieces.
Moving in an S-shape, several infected people who climbed onto the cargo compartment to hitch a ride were thrown off cleanly.
Joanna glanced at the rearview mirror. Several infected people fell to the ground and somersaulted in various postures. Then she saw Egger's thumb raised high in the rearview mirror.
