Chapter 816 Heading to Atlanta
Chapter 816 Heading to Atlanta
Just as they were packing up and preparing to leave the police station, a zombie in police uniform staggered out from the back of the police station. Rick took a look and found that it was his colleague: "Leon Bessie?"
Rick shook his head. "I don't have a very good impression of this guy. He is careless and reckless. But I should give him a ride."
Just as Rick was about to pull out his Python revolver, Lu Cheng took out a steel nail from the magazine pocket on his waist: "Just leave it to me."
After saying that, Lu Cheng swung the 10-centimeter-long steel nail in his hand casually, and it passed through the gap in the barbed wire in front and was nailed into the zombie's forehead.
Morgan's son couldn't help but say, "Cool, is this a dart? A Nissunfu?"
Rick and Morgan also looked at Lu Cheng with some surprise. There are many people who practice darts and throwing knives, but being able to use an ordinary steel nail to pierce the head of a zombie from more than ten meters away is not something that ordinary people can do.
Lu Cheng said casually: "Like I said, I am a soldier and I have served in the Army Special Forces. It should be normal for me to know some Kung Fu, right? Okay, let's leave."
Morgan looked at the dinner knife and steel nails on Lu Cheng's waist again, and couldn't help thinking that maybe he could survive better if he followed such a powerful person. However, thinking of his wife who was still wandering on the street, Morgan hesitated again.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng drove his Hummer and Rick drove a police car, and the two headed towards Atlanta together.
Lu Cheng's car was filled with various supplies, but Rick's car was only filled with a bag of guns, which he had taken out from the police station. There were six shotguns, two Remington 700 rifles with scopes, a dozen pistols, and seven hundred rounds of ammunition.
As they hurried on their way, the two chatted on the intercom: "Lu, I just saw that you have prepared a lot of supplies in your car. Are you going to take these into the Atlanta shelter?"
"Rick, I have received broadcasts from Atlanta before. However, I haven't received any broadcasts in the past month. Perhaps the situation in Atlanta is not that good."
Rick was a little worried when he heard this. He had just learned that his wife and children might be in Atlanta. If he couldn't find them there, he didn't know where to go next.
Thinking of this, Rick turned on the intercom and started calling: "Emergency channel call, we are heading to Atlanta along Highway 85, is anyone there? Please reply if you get it."
At the same time, in a quarry camp outside Atlanta, a communicator placed on a table suddenly rang. A blonde girl ran over and picked up the microphone to reply: "Hello, can you hear me?"
However, only a crackling sound came from the communicator.
Lu Cheng in the Hummer naturally knew that Rick's wife, children and good brother Sean were currently in the quarry camp outside Atlanta.
However, Lu Cheng did not give any reminder, and after giving the reminder, he did not have to explain why he knew it.
Anyway, once they arrive in Atlanta, they will meet the team sent by the quarry camp to search for supplies in the city, and then Rick will naturally be reunited with his wife and children.
At this time, in the quarry camp, Rick's wife Lori said, "We should send someone to intercept him on the road. Atlanta is too dangerous. If that person enters the city, he will definitely be in danger."
Sean refused directly: "No, no one can act alone. It's good enough for us to survive. Don't think about helping others."
Hearing this, Lori turned around and went back to the tent. Sean quickly followed and advised: "Lori, I know you are a little angry now. But please listen to me, the most important thing for you now is to protect Carl. Carl has already lost his father and cannot lose his mother again. You should protect yourself first, then consider other things. Okay, don't be angry, okay? If you still feel angry, you can slap me twice to vent your anger..."
Lori looked at Sean who looked serious and couldn't help but nodded.
Then, their eyes met and they kissed each other.
Rick, who was driving at the moment, didn't know that the hat on his head had turned into an environmentally friendly color.
When the car was halfway through the journey, Rick's police car suddenly stopped: "Lu, my car seems to be out of gas."
"I have some spare gasoline here."
Lu Cheng also stopped the car, took out a 20-liter pot of gasoline from the Hummer and handed it over.
Rick took the gasoline and thanked him: "Thank you, I will return it to you later."
"You're welcome. Fill up the car with gas first. There's a small house over there. I'll go take a look."
"Then be careful."
Lu Cheng got off the road and walked forward two or three hundred meters until he came to a white wooden house. He saw a horse leisurely eating grass on a fenced lawn outside the house.
Even if he didn't get close to the cabin, Lu Cheng could sense that there were only two corpses and some buzzing flies in the cabin, but no living people.
And the purpose of Lu Cheng's coming was this horse.
In the original drama, Rick came to the neighborhood and his car ran out of gas, so he had to come to the cabin to look for fuel, but he found that the owners of the cabin, an old couple, had committed suicide, leaving behind only the horse.
Afterwards, Rick rode the horse into Atlanta and accidentally ran into a group of zombies, and the horse was eaten up by the zombies.
Lu Cheng casually opened the hanging guardrail, came to the side of the horse, used his animal taming skills, and reached out to stroke the horse's head.
This horse had already been domesticated, and it was extremely easy for Lu Cheng to tame it. He just touched the horse's head and patted its back, and the horse lowered its head obediently, allowing Lu Cheng to ride it.
Soon, Lu Cheng brought the horse to the road, and Rick had already filled the car with gas.
"Lu, you actually found a horse?"
Lu Cheng nodded. "There was an old couple in the cabin, but they committed suicide. The horse has lost its owner, so it's not safe to leave it in the fence. Let's take it with us to keep it company. Let's go, let's drive slower."
It was not convenient for either of their carriages to carry the horse, so they had to let the horse follow behind.
Rick glanced at the horse: "Are you sure the horse will follow us all the way? Instead of leaving in the middle?"
"Of course, this horse is still very obedient. Let's go and continue on our journey."
The two drove to the vicinity of Atlanta and saw that the road into the city was clean, but the road out of the city was jammed with cars. The whole city was quiet, without any sound.
When approaching the city, Lu Cheng directly asked Rick to stop the car: "Rick, don't you think Atlanta is too quiet? Maybe we should scout the situation first. The car is a bit noisy. It is not safe to drive into an unknown city rashly."
"You have a point. You are more experienced than me in this area. I will listen to you."
After all, Rick had just woken up and had not yet fully adapted to this apocalypse, so he followed Lu Cheng's arrangements.
Afterwards, the two parked the car at a relatively safe distance outside the city. Lu Cheng let the horse hide in the woods beside the road, and the two walked towards the city on foot.
Rick did not carry a gun bag weighing more than 30 kilograms. He just had a Python revolver and a Glock pistol on his waist and a baseball bat in his hand.
Lu Cheng still had two M9s, some table knives, and steel nails on his waist, and a backpack on his back.
After entering the city, the two streets ahead were quiet. There were no human figures or zombies. There were only some discarded newspapers flying all over the ground.
Walking further, they saw a few scattered zombies on the street. After seeing Lu Cheng and the others, the zombies approached them.
As Lu Cheng walked forward, he threw out a few steel nails and killed all the scattered zombies.
After turning a corner, I saw some military Hummers, M1A2 main battle tanks, dilapidated helicopters, etc. parked scattered on the road ahead.
Just around these tanks, there were some body parts and traces of grenade explosions.
Apparently, the shelter in Atlanta no longer exists.
Seeing this situation, Rick was a little flustered. He couldn't help but speed up his pace and wanted to go deeper into the city, but Lu Cheng pulled him back: "Rick, calm down. There is movement on the street ahead. There may be a large number of zombies gathered..."
