blood plague

Chapter 87 What Everyone Lost

Joanna drove a pickup truck with three people in full gear towards Rapid Creek Town.

This time, Iger's route is not to circle around the town of Jixi, but to pass through the central commercial street of Jixi Town.

Whether Jixi Town is an empty town or not, we will know after this investigation.

Everyone is ready for a fierce battle, and Iger even told Joanna not to turn around no matter what happens, just speed up and rush directly.

Joanna confidently drove the pickup truck and made a sharp turn into the commercial street.

What caught everyone's eyes was dumped street signs, damaged cars, damaged storefronts, and plastic waste flying in the wind, but as Andy and Erica said, there were no infected people, no dead bodies, and no one.

"Horn the horn." Iger said to Joanna.

Joanna nodded, and she pressed the horn hard, and the pickup truck whistled through the street whistling its flute.

More than ten minutes later, the pickup truck returned to the head of the bridge, which was the starting point for them to enter the town.

Iger didn't take the risk of stopping the car, he said to Joanna: "Let's go to the residential area."

The residential area is full of big houses, and if the infected are even remotely likely to be pocket ambush survivors, then they must be hiding in houses in the residential area.

After the pickup truck passed through the commercial area, it ran wildly on the streets of the residential area, and honked its horn wildly. However, in the entire residential area, only the roar of the pickup truck's engine and the harsh horn sound could be heard.

Just as Iger was considering whether to randomly select a few houses for further search, Andy, the co-pilot, suddenly yelled at Joanna.

"Stop, stop quickly." Andy shouted anxiously to Joanna.

Joanna slammed on the brakes to stop the car, and both Andy and Erica jumped out of the car at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Iger asked loudly at the two, but the two didn't seem to hear Iger's shout, and the two of them just ran forward.

"Don't turn off the fire." After Iger jumped out of the cargo compartment with a gun, he first told Joanna, and then he hurriedly chased after them.

Andy and Erica quickly ran to a red single-story house with a scattered wooden fence on the side of the road.Then without any hesitation, they rushed into the room with the door wide open.

Iger followed their footsteps and entered the house. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled an extremely strong stench.

Iger was too familiar with this smell during this time.

In front of a small windowless room, Iger found Andy and Erica standing quietly.Iger walked over, and with the help of the afterglow of the setting sun in the corridor, he saw two highly decomposed corpses curled up in the corner of the small room.

"This is our companion, June and Lin." Andy turned his head to Iger and said, "Our house was broken into by infected people that day, Lin ran in the wrong direction, and June rushed 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 wishful thinking that they escaped."

Iger heard the suppressed sobs, and he 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, and it was also the first safe point that the infected broke through.

During the fight with the infected, Erica lost her gun, and she watched a female infected drive the thin Lynn in the wrong direction.

Then June rushed back desperately, and she pushed the infected person down, trying to pull Lin back.

Panicked, Lin didn't even notice that June was behind her, and she habitually ran towards the storage room she thought was the safest.

Afterwards, several infected people chased after her. When Erica stood up again, the corridor was already blocked by infected people, and they were frantically banging 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 dazed, and the two of them quickly escaped from the house.

For this reason, Erica has been feeling guilty all the time. There are still 9 bullets in the gun she dropped, which was enough to cover everyone's safe retreat.

However, at that time, in order to deliberately save bullets, Erica gave up fire suppression and turned to efficient killing, but Erica did not expect that the infected would suddenly sprint.

A male infected knocks her to the ground with a swoop.During the fight, Erica struggled to escape the grip of the male infected, but lost her gun.

In order to save a few bullets, June and Lin died.

Erica blamed herself immensely. As a security guard, she made an unforgivable mistake.

Iger looked at the curled up little body. Although he didn't know the story of what happened in this house, its ending was tragic.

Not every little girl meets Lee, and not every Clementine survives the disaster well into adulthood.

After Andy patted Erica on the shoulder, he turned on the flashlight and searched in the living room. Not long after, Andy came over again.

"Hi."

Erica turned her face slightly when she heard Andy's shout.Erica turned to see Andy fiddling with an M9.

"It's a good gun." Andy wiped the dust off the M9 gun with the lapel of his shirt. He handed the gun to Erica and said, "I think it needs you."

Erica reached out and wiped the tears hanging on her face. She snatched the M9 from Andy, unloaded the magazine, checked the ammunition load, loaded the magazine, loaded it, all in one go.

Erica put the M9 on her waist, took a breath, and said to the two, "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 rarely asked about what happened in the house. She knew it was better not to ask anything now.

After the four were silent for a while, Iger broke the silence, and he said to everyone: "Come here today, let's go back to the safe area to rest."

"Back to the villa?" Joanna looked at Iger and asked expectantly.

Iger didn't know why Joanna asked this strange question, and the land reclamation work was not over, so where would he go if he didn't go to the villa.Are you going back to church again?
"Go back to the villa." Iger replied after wiping his face with his hands.

Suppressing the joy in her heart, Joanna drove the pickup truck towards the outside of Jixi Town.

When passing the bridge, Andy stopped the car, and he said to Iger, "I'll drive the bus back." He turned his head and glanced at Erica, and then the two got out of the car together.

Iger knew that Andy and Erica needed some alone time because of their shared grief.

After the car door was closed and the two of them walked away, Joanna asked Iger, "Hey, what happened to you just now? Suddenly you became dejected."

Iger shook his head exhaustedly and said: "Nothing special, everyone is the same. Everyone has lost something precious."
