Joanna drove a pickup truck carrying three heavily armed people toward Jixi Town.
This time, Aige and his team's route was not to circle outside Jixi Town, but to pass through the central commercial street of Jixi Town.
Whether Jixi Town is an empty town or not, you will know after this investigation.
Everyone was ready for a fierce battle. Iger even told Joanna that no matter what situation she encountered, never turn around, just speed up and rush over.
Joanna confidently drove the pickup truck and turned sharply into the commercial street.
What everyone saw were toppled street signs, damaged cars, damaged storefronts, and plastic garbage flying in the wind, but as Andy and Erica said, there were no infected people, no bodies, and no one.
"Honk." Iger said to Joanna.
Joanna nodded, pressed the horn hard, and the pickup truck whizzed past the street, honking its flute.
More than ten minutes later, the pickup truck returned to the bridgehead, which was the starting point for their entry into the town.
Iger did not risk stopping the car. He said to Joanna: "Let's go to the residential area."
The residential area is full of big houses. If there is any possibility that the infected are ambush survivors, then they will definitely have to hide in the houses in the residential area.
After the pickup truck passed through the business district, it wandered randomly along the streets of the residential area while honking its horn wildly. However, throughout the residential area, the only sounds that could be heard were the roar of the pickup truck's engine and the harsh sound of its horn.
Just when Iger was considering whether to randomly select a few houses for further searches, Andy, the co-pilot, suddenly shouted at Joanna.
"Stop, stop quickly." Andy shouted anxiously to Joanna.
Joanna braked suddenly to stop the car, and Andy and Erica both jumped out of the car at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Iger asked loudly to the two of them, but the two of them didn't seem to hear Iger's shouting. They just ran forward.
"Don't turn off the engine." After Iger jumped out of the cargo compartment with his gun, he first warned Joanna, and then he quickly chased after the two of them.
Andy and Erica quickly ran to a red single-story house on the side of the road with a shabby wooden fence. Then without any hesitation, they rushed into the house with the door wide open.
Egger followed their footsteps and entered the house. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled an extremely strong odor.
This smell has been very familiar to Egger for a while.
In front of the door of a small room without windows, Egger found Andy and Erica standing quietly. Egger walked over, and with the help of the sunset in the corridor, he saw two tall figures huddled in the corner of the small room.
Rotting corpse.
"This is our companions, June and Lin." Andy turned to Iger and said, "Our house was broken into by infected people that day. Lin ran in the wrong direction, and June rushed over to pull her."
After Andy sighed, he reached out and patted Erica on the shoulder and said, "Maybe we already knew the outcome of the matter, but we still just wishfully assumed that they escaped."
Egger heard the suppressed sobs and turned his eyes to see Erica crying.
This red hut was the place where Andy, Erica and other survivors hid for the longest time after the outbreak of the blood plague. It was also the first safe point breached by the infected.
During the fight with the infected, Erica lost her gun, and she watched helplessly as a female infected drove the thin Lin in the wrong direction.
Then June rushed back regardless of her own safety. She pushed the infected person down and tried to pull Lin back.
Lin was so panicked that she didn't even notice that June was behind her. She habitually ran towards the storage room where she thought was the safest.
Then, several infected people chased her. When Erica stood up again, the corridor was blocked by the infected people, and they were frantically beating on the wooden door of the storage room.
At this time, a big hand stretched out from behind, and Andy pulled away Erica, who was still hesitating and in a daze, and the two of them quickly escaped from the house.
For this reason, Erica has been feeling guilty. The gun she dropped still had 9 bullets in it, which was enough to cover everyone's safe retreat.
However, at that time, in order to deliberately save bullets, Erica gave up suppressing fire and switched to efficient killing. However, Erica did not expect that the infected would suddenly sprint.
A male infected person knocked her to the ground with a flying dive. During the fight, Erica struggled to escape from the male infected person's grasp, but she lost her gun.
In order to save a few bullets, June and Lin died.
Erica blamed herself extremely. As a security guard, she made an unforgivable mistake.
Egg looked at the huddled little body. Although he didn't know the story of what happened in this house, its ending was tragic.
Not every little girl can meet Lee, and not every Clementine can survive this disaster and survive into adulthood.
After Andy patted Erica on the shoulder, he turned on the flashlight and went to the living room to search. Not long after, Andy came over again.
"Hi."
Erica heard Andy's shout, and she turned her face slightly. Erica turned her head and saw Andy playing with an M9 pistol.
"This is a good gun." Andy wiped the dust off the M9 gun with his lapel. He handed the gun to Erica and said, "I think it needs you."
Erica reached out to wipe the tears hanging on her face. She took the m9 from Andy's hand, unloaded the magazine, checked the ammunition load, loaded the magazine, and loaded the gun, all in one go.
Erica inserted the m9 into her waist. After taking a breath, she said to the two of them, "Let's go, don't keep Joanna waiting too long." Then Erica quickly walked out of the house.
After the three returned to the pickup truck, Joanna, who was rare in not gossiping, asked what happened in the house. She knew it was better not to ask anything now.
After the four of them were silent for a while, Egger broke the silence and said to everyone: "That's it for today. Let's go back to the safe area to rest."
"Go back to the villa?" Joanna looked at Egg and asked expectantly.
Egger didn't know why Joanna asked such a strange question. The land reclamation work was not over yet. Where could he go if he didn't go to the villa? Did he return to the church?
"Go back to the villa." Egger replied after wiping his face with both hands.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Joanna drove the pickup truck towards the outside of Jixi Town.
When they passed the bridge, Andy stopped the car and said to Iger, "I'm going to drive the bus back." He turned his head and glanced at Erica, and then the two of them got out of the car together.
Iger knew that Andy and Erica needed to be alone for a while, as they shared a common sadness.
After the car door closed and the two of them walked away, Joanna asked Iger: "Hey, what happened to you just now? You suddenly became downcast."
Iger shook his head exhausted and said: "Nothing special, everyone is the same. Everyone has lost something precious."
