Chapter 85 Asking for Water
Ye Li went downstairs and easily blended into the refugee group while the refugees were not paying attention.
As she walked towards the beach, she found that more and more refugees were joining the team. She then realized that these were actually scattered refugees. Most of them did not know each other and they had gathered together because of lack of water.
Before reaching the seashore, the number of refugees reached hundreds.
The crowd was packed, and because they had not bathed for a long time due to lack of water, there was an indescribable smell.
Especially the big brother next to Ye Li, the smell on his body was even stronger than the smell in her chicken coop.
Ye Li pulled up her collar to slightly cover her nose, but soon she didn't care anymore and stood on tiptoe to look towards the front of the team.
They were stopped by the holy city's defense forces.
On one side are ragged, unkempt refugees, and on the other side are fully armed Holy City defense forces.
"What do you want to do? If you know what's good for you, leave now, or don't blame us for being rude!" The captain of the Holy City's defense team shouted loudly, and his men's guns were all pointed at the refugees in front of them.
"We just want water, we don't want to cause trouble!" The leader of the refugees negotiated with the defense captain.
"Yeah, we just want water."
The refugee leader continued, "We've searched everywhere for water, but it's the dry season and there's no water. We haven't had any water for days. Please give us some water, please."
The refugees lowered their posture and begged the man to show mercy and share some of the desalinated sea water with them.
Ye Li was also hoping in his heart that the people in the Holy City would really show mercy.
"Go!"
However, the captain of the defense team drove them away: "If you don't leave, we will shoot!"
The defense team loaded their guns and pointed them at the refugees.
"Wow, wow..." There were children among the refugees, and the children were scared to tears by the cold muzzles of the guns.
There were men and women crying. The refugees refused to leave. The water here could save their lives. If they left, they would die.
The leader of the refugees sat on the ground first, and the rest of the refugees followed suit.
“Go ahead and shoot if you want!” the refugee leader shouted. “We can’t survive without water anyway.”
The refugees all sat down, and Ye Li, who followed them, had to sit down as well and wait together, waiting for the defense captain to soften his heart.
The defense captain said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether you leave or not, when the zombies come, you will suffer."
Behind the defense line, several more water tankers arrived.
The staff operating the machine immediately connected the water pipe to the water truck and poured fresh water into it.
Water continued to flow out from the connection between the water pipe and the water truck and fell onto the sand.
The refugees were constantly drooling at the sight of the constantly gushing water. Under the sun, all they could think about was thirst, so thirsty...
Ye Li was also uncomfortable with the sun and thirsty and left.
She touched Wang Dahu's ID card in her pocket, wondering whether she should go up and ask him.
But before she could ask, someone suddenly started shouting in panic, "This is terrible! Zombies are coming this way."
A few hundred meters to their side, there were a large number of zombies.
The lonely city was once a prosperous coastal city. During the chaos, a large number of people were bitten and mutated into zombies.
This place has always been a gathering place for zombies, so the remaining people dare not live in this city. What's more, it is impossible to survive in the city without food.
"Ahhh..." The refugees screamed in terror, climbed up and fled to the other side.
"Go!"
Ye Li stood up with a water bottle in hand. She pushed the crowd and ran towards the city, but there were too many people. She was carried forward by the crowd and could not control her feet at all.
"Make way!"
The refugees were all busy escaping for their lives, so they didn't listen to what she said.
"Ready! Shoot!" After the refugees dispersed, the defense captain ordered to eliminate the zombies.
So, Ye Li had no choice but to run with the refugees. The zombies had surrounded them and there were gunshots everywhere. If she changed direction, she would easily be injured by stray bullets. She could only stay with the refugees for the time being.
