"Rick, for Lori and the kids, we should leave here as soon as possible," Sean said.
Although the two have put aside their past grudges, it is impossible for their relationship to be as strong as before, at least it is obviously impossible.
Rick immediately rejected it:
"We can't leave. We can't find a better, safer place than here."
"Besides, won't we encounter zombies if we leave here?"
"Without walls, weapons, and food, we will only die faster."
Sean nodded and said nothing more.
"The zombies are coming!" Dale shouted from the watchtower.
Rick's face hardened and he said, "Everyone, get ready for battle."
"Yes." The others echoed.
Rick is the deputy leader appointed by Xu Mo. When Xu Mo is not around, everyone naturally listens to him.
After saying that, Rick looked outside the prison. The sky was obviously clear everywhere else, but above the group of zombies, there was a thick layer of dark clouds.
…
On the interstate.
Xu Mo drove an off-road vehicle on this road.
Feeling the reminder sound of [Points +1] ringing continuously in my mind, I frowned slightly.
The system prompt sound popped up too quickly and lasted for quite a while, and it hasn't stopped until now.
If it only rang for a short while, Xu Mo would still feel happy, thinking that it must be the masterpiece of Rick or Velociraptor, but the continuous system sound was very strange.
"Could it be that the prison is encountering a tide of zombies?" Xu Mo thought to himself.
This possibility is not impossible. In the timeline of the original work, there is no news about the prison.
Of course, even if there is, it is estimated that some changes have occurred because of his arrival.
Think about it again.
In the timeline of the original novel, Rick and his friends should have just left Hershel Farm, or even have not left Hershel Farm yet.
This would make sense if the zombies attacking the prison now were the same ones that attacked Hershel in the original series.
"No matter what, we have to hurry back."
This is the first camp and base he built. If it was conquered by zombies, he would curse himself.
…
prison.
Everyone, including Amy, Beth, Maggie and Andrea, hid in the prison, holding guns in their hands to resist the horde of zombies outside the prison.
However, the speed of killing zombies is far slower than the speed of zombie reinforcements.
After one zombie fell, more zombies gathered towards the prison from all directions.
At this moment, the outermost layer of the three-layer barbed wire fence was attacked by zombies.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the prison was shocked.
It's only been less than ten minutes and the barbed wire fence has been breached by zombies?
"No, at most half an hour. If there is no reinforcement, the prison will inevitably fall. We can't hold out for long."
Sean looked at the zombies outside the prison and said with a tense face.
"Although I don't like this guy very much, he makes sense. We should think about retreating." Moore nodded in agreement.
Others in the prison agreed with Sean's words.
How could any reinforcements come to save them at this time?
The Army? Or the National Guard?
"Hey, it would be great if Xu Mo was here now."
Amy sighed softly.
"Yeah, if Xu Mo was here, maybe he could have dealt with this zombie." Beth and Maggie beside him nodded in agreement.
"Even if Xu Mo were here, he would still be powerless to turn the tide against a zombie swarm of this size. Even if it were just 5,000 pigs crying out for slaughter, it would take Xu Mo a long time to kill them all by himself, let alone 5,000 extremely dangerous zombies."
Glenn sighed as well.
The expressions of others, including Rick, were also unhappy.
If there were only one or two hundred or even two or three hundred zombies, they believed that Xu Mo could eliminate them, but the number this time was too many, more than five times the number of Blood Moon zombies a week ago. Unless Xu Mo was God, how could he eliminate more than five thousand zombies and rescue them.
"It's time to think about retreat." Hershel, who had been silent, spoke up.
"Where should we retreat to?" Rick looked at Hershel and asked.
Hershel is also Xu Mo's deputy leader. On important matters, Rick always refers to Hershel's opinions and even listens to him.
Hershel glanced at the zombies outside the barbed wire fence and spoke calmly like a wise man:
"This group of zombies is so aggressive that they will chase us even if we leave the prison. Without a solid wall, we are like lambs to be slaughtered by a pack of wolves."
"We can temporarily retreat to the interior of the prison facility. The iron bars there are much stronger than this barbed wire wall, and the interior space is so small. Unless these zombies flatten the entire prison building, there is no way they can push over the iron bars and get inside the cells."
"Most importantly, the cafeteria inside the prison facility still has enough food for us to eat for two and a half years. These zombies can't stay in the prison forever. They will definitely disperse after a while."
"Once the number of zombies decreases, whether Xu Mo comes to rescue us or we fight our way out, we can regain our freedom."
Rick thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "That's the only way."
"Look at that!"
Just then, Jacqui screamed and pointed in a direction outside the prison wire fence.
Those who were still discussing immediately looked in the direction Jacqui was pointing.
At the back of the zombie group, there was a zombie that looked only two meters and five meters tall. If it were just that, it would be nothing, but its arms were as thick as a human, and were full of muscles that looked bulging and very strong.
At this moment, it was charging forward, clearing a path and charging towards the prison. The ordinary zombies that stood in its way were swept away by its arms, but that wasn't enough. Under its two exaggerated arms, it even lifted a wrecked black car that was blocking its way.
"What kind of monster is this!?" Andrea shouted in shock.
When the others saw this monster, they just froze in place.
Rick's pupils dilated when he saw this scene. After a slight pause, he shouted decisively, "Everyone, retreat quickly, retreat back to the prison facility."
Hearing Rick's words, the others rushed towards the prison facility without hesitation.
"Amy, let's quickly hide inside the prison facility as well."
Andrea grabbed Amy's arm and started walking into the prison facility.
However, Amy broke free and said, "Let's go to Xu Mo's RV. It should be safer there than the prison facilities."
"RV?" Andrea glanced at the super RV with some doubt, but thinking of Xu Mo and the magical space inside the RV, Andrea nodded and said, "Then let's go to the RV."
