Chapter 36: A Gamble
When the van stopped at the entrance of the community, Ye Duo, who had been watching through the window, noticed it immediately.
Her eyes lit up and she wondered if the people in the van were going to come in.
So was there a chance she could leave with them?
However, she soon discovered that the people in the van had no intention of getting off.
They just pulled out a speaker and started playing an audio clip.
"...People of the town, listen up! We found the radio and placed it in the security booth. If you are able, come and get it.
In addition, we received a message from the country on the radio that the country has established safe bases in..."
While the horn was blaring, the van started slowly and began to circle around the community at a slow speed, trying to be heard by the survivors in the community.
Ye Duo's heart suddenly sank.
No...don't go!
If she leaves, she will definitely die!
Ye Duo was very panicked. She watched the van disappear from her sight, with only the sound of the horn lingering in her ears.
No……
wrong.
The van has to go around a circle, or even more than one circle.
If she could get to the door in time, would she have a chance to leave with the people in the van?
Thinking of this, Ye Duo immediately picked up his backpack and a baseball bat and prepared to go out.
However, just as she placed her hand on the door handle, she heard a cry of surprise from behind her.
"Duoduo, what are you going to do?"
Ye Duo turned around and saw her frail uncle and aunt looking at her in shock.
Ye Duo pursed her lips, still feeling affection for her uncle and aunt: "Uncle, aunt, I know there's no food at home... I want to go out and try my luck. What if I can get away with the people in the van? Do you want to come with me?"
If they all go together, her uncle and aunt will definitely not miss her when they have food to eat.
"Duoduo, what nonsense are you talking about?" Auntie couldn't help but advise, "We don't know who's in that van. If a little girl like you rashly goes over there, who knows what dangers you might run into?"
My uncle also nodded: "Yes, Duoduo, be obedient and don't open the door randomly."
Ye Duo looked at the two people with a somewhat lost look in her eyes: "Aunt and Uncle, I'm not stupid. I know that if I stay here, I will die sooner or later."
"Who said that? Just hold on a little longer, maybe people from the government will come..." My aunt still held out hope.
"Aunt, we're in a very remote place here." Ye Duo said seriously, "Even if there's help, we'll be starving by the time it arrives."
The cruel truth was revealed by a child, which made the two adults silent.
They knew it, but... if they didn't think this way, they couldn't survive.
"Come with me, and give it a try. Maybe..."
"Duoduo, if you go out now, you might die today." Uncle couldn't help but say, "You can't go out!"
My aunt also agreed: "Yeah! Those zombies outside are so scary..."
The two people were still trying to persuade Ye Duo, but Ye Duo couldn't wait any longer.
She had to hurry to the gate of the community, otherwise she would be dead once the van drove away!
So she stopped trying to persuade the two adults and simply opened the door, squeezed out, and then closed the door again.
The hand holding the baseball bat trembled slightly. Of course, she was afraid of the zombies, but if she didn't be brave, she would die!
It doesn’t matter if you die early or late, you will die anyway, so why not take a chance?
Ye Duo took a deep breath and went downstairs carefully.
The door at the entrance of the corridor was closed, so it was relatively safe inside the corridor.
When she reached the bottom of the building and stood in front of the security door, she took a deep breath.
come on……
The building she lived in was Building No. 2, which was closest to the main gate, and she only had to cross an alley to get there.
Ye Duo carefully opened the security door. She only opened it a crack, squeezed out, and then quickly closed the door.
Because she was afraid of being discovered by the zombies, she squatted down and closed the door slowly, fearing that the loud sound of closing the door would attract the zombies.
Although she had made up her mind to leave, there were other people living in the building and she had to close the door.
There is a green belt in front of the corridor in the community, which gives Ye Duo space to hide.
She was walking almost close to the flower beds in the green belt, and because she was squatting, she couldn't walk fast.
The zombies on the road were making meaningless roars, and Ye Duo could tell that they were very close to her.
She was trembling with fear, her mind full of the half face of the male classmate that was bitten off a month ago.
She wanted to scream, but she knew she couldn't.
She gritted her teeth and crawled on the ground bit by bit.
On the other side, a van drove around the community, and the horn was loud enough to even attract some zombies to follow the van.
"These zombies are so annoying, like flies." Chaolu complained while supporting her chin and looking out the window.
"We'll be leaving soon anyway." Chaoyang was reading a book in his hand while chatting.
Chaolu then leaned over to look at the book in Chaoyang's hand. "What are you reading... Uh, 'Weapons Encyclopedia'? Bro, have you changed your style? Didn't you always read about finance before?"
Chaoyang turned his head and looked at his elder sister speechlessly: "Times have changed."
Chaolu: “…”
That’s right.
It’s the end of the world, and the domineering CEO is not worth much anymore.
Money ability is useless.
Zhu Dafu, who was driving: "..."
8. An eight-year-old child reading financial news?
Is he upside down or is the world upside down?
Oh well, the world is upside down.
It's all over the end of the world.
The van quickly drove to the entrance of the community, which meant that it had completed a circle.
So Zhu Dafu decided to step on the accelerator to get rid of the zombies following him.
"Wait! Don't go!"
At this moment, a girl's voice suddenly sounded not far away, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the car.
Zhu Dafu couldn't help but complain: "Are you looking for death by shouting so loudly?"
There are zombies all around!
A teenage girl came running to the gate of Hope Garden, holding a baseball bat in her hand and waving at them wildly.
The other party's shout directly attracted all the zombies following the van, and the zombies ran towards the little girl howling.
Ye Duo also knew that shouting would definitely attract zombies, but there was nothing she could do because the van was obviously about to drive away!
That won’t do!
She had finally crawled out of the community, and she didn't have the courage to crawl back!
As she shouted, all the zombies around her ran towards her, and Ye Duo was immediately frightened!
She ran desperately towards the van, but the zombies were obviously faster than her.
The foul smell had begun to penetrate into her nostrils, and Ye Duo's heart was suddenly filled with despair.
Are you...going to die here?
Shouldn't she have run out?
Tears flowed in extreme despair, but the imagined pain did not come.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The zombie that was about to touch Ye Duo was shot through the head by an arrow and fell to the ground with its eyes open.
Ye Duo stood there in a daze.
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car!"
The van opened its door and the girl holding a bow and arrow at the door shouted at her.
