He looked up at the sky for a few seconds but found nothing. Xu Mo slowly withdrew his gaze, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and began to look around the camp.
Daryl and Maul were busy with the others around Hershel's house and their encampment. They deftly crafted a circle of obstacles from wood, branches, and other materials, their focused expressions as if they were building a solid defense to thwart the zombies' charge and attack. The other combat-capable members of the team were also on high alert, each ready with their own equipment to fend off the zombies. Their eyes shone with tension and determination, as if they were about to embark on a life-or-death battle.
Hershel came to Xu Mo in a hurry, holding a double-barreled shotgun. His eyes were filled with concern and worry. He asked, "The children and women have been hidden in the cellar. Xu Mo, where are my daughters Maggie and Beth?"
Xu Mo glanced at the RV beside him, his eyes revealing confidence and determination. He said, "They are now in my RV. The RV is made of titanium alloy and is very sturdy. Even if something unexpected happens, we can drive away in time. They will be safer in the RV."
Hearing this, Hershel turned to look at the RV. Although he knew nothing about it, judging by its shiny exterior and unique texture, it was clearly made of more than ordinary steel. He nodded slightly, a look of relief in his eyes, and said, "That's good. I've entrusted my two daughters to you. Please don't let me down."
As an old father, he naturally knew what his two daughters were thinking. He knew that both of them fell in love with Xu Mo. He was quite satisfied with Xu Mo. He felt that he was smart and resourceful, and most importantly, he still retained the kindness of human nature. He had nothing to worry about leaving his two daughters with such a man.
"Of course." Xu Mo nodded seriously with a serious expression, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.
Just then, Glenn and Rick came running over with the rest of the team, holding a drone remote control in their hands.
Glenn's face was filled with anxiety, his eyes showing panic, and he shouted loudly: "Xu Mo, look quickly, there is another emergency!"
"What's going on!?" Xu Mo frowned slightly, with confusion in his eyes, and hurriedly reached out to take the drone remote control from Glenn's hand.
Rick's expression was solemn, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes. He said, "Suddenly, many zombies poured out from all directions and merged with the group heading towards us. Now their numbers are increasing!"
Listening to Rick's words, Xu Mo's eyes were fixed on the screen on the drone remote control.
On the screen, the zombie horde surged toward the farm like a surging tide. As they advanced, scattered zombies and smaller groups nearby seemed drawn in by an invisible force, joining the ranks. The horde now numbered five to six hundred, a dense mass that brought a chill to the very eye. They were still five miles from the farm. At this rate, by the time they reached the farm, they would likely have already formed a medium-sized wave of nearly a thousand zombies.
Looking at the image on the screen, Xu Mo frowned, his eyes showing a hint of confusion and worry, thinking to himself:
No, where did these zombies come from? They didn't even appear in the original series.
It would not be reasonable to say that the zombie tide that was supposed to come two weeks ago has come earlier. The number of zombies is too small. The zombie tide that was led out from Atlanta by helicopter reached thousands or even tens of thousands!
While Xu Mo was thinking, Xiao En's eyes showed a hint of hesitation and worry. He asked, "Xu Mo, what should we do next? There are too many of them. Should we think about retreating?"
The other people in the team also looked at Xu Mo, their eyes showing trust and dependence, as if they were waiting for his decision.
In this situation, if Xu Mo says to stay, they will stay without hesitation; if Xu Mo says to retreat, they will retreat without complaint.
Listening to Sean's words, Xu Mo fell into deep thought, with a serious look in his eyes.
Facing a few hundred zombies, he could still lead his team to resist a little, but facing nearly a thousand of them, it was really difficult. He could only ensure his own safety at best.
As for Sean's suggestion of retreating, theoretically it's not impossible.
Now that there are so many zombies, retreat is indeed a relatively safe option.
But he always felt that the arrival of this group of zombies was a little strange. Why did they suddenly run towards the farm for no reason?
And it's not unintentional, but deliberate and purposeful.
His intuition told him that he shouldn't retreat at this time.
But it is not possible to stay and defend without retreating. With so few people and no high walls, they can't hold the city at all.
After thinking about it, Xu Mo suddenly had an idea and thought of a way to resolve the crisis.
That is, he drove the car to lead the zombies away. He had zombie antibodies, so even if an accident happened, he was not afraid of being infected by the zombies. The most important thing was that when he really had no way to retreat, he could imitate the Whisperers and directly smear the flesh and blood of the zombies on himself to disguise himself as a zombie and get away with it.
"There are only a few hundred or nearly a thousand zombies. I'll drive the car to lead them away." Xu Mo said with a firm look in his eyes and a calm tone.
The others were stunned in place for a moment, their eyes wide open, their mouths open so wide that an egg could fit in them. They simply couldn't believe their ears.
