The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 35 Crossing the Sea of ​​Corpses
Atlanta, College Station.

In just the past two months, Atlanta, known as America's "New Capital of the South," has turned into a dead zone.

The once bustling streets are now covered with devastation. Countless car wrecks and human corpses are crowded together, blocking all roads. There are smoky black marks everywhere on the roads and walls.

Between these road obstacles, inside various buildings, and in the dark alleys at the corners, tens of thousands of zombies are densely packed together, wandering aimlessly, and from time to time they let out frightening roars from their mouths. .

Leon and his warriors, their armors covered with the stinky flesh and blood of zombies, lowered their heads and walked slowly forward in silence in the sea of ​​zombies.

At the forefront of the team was Glenn. This Korean young man was not tall, but he had unimaginable courage. Faced with such a terrifying scene, even though he was trembling with fear, he gritted his teeth and volunteered. , willing to lead the way for everyone.

Because he felt that he was the most familiar with the road here, and only by walking at the front could he minimize the risk to all his partners.

Daryl fell to the end of the team without saying a word, holding the dagger tightly in his hand, guarding against threats from behind the team. This silent man never showed off his achievements, he always silently guarded the place he was in. A recognized companion who is not afraid of any danger.

Old Moore seemed to have noticed his younger brother's actions. This usually very rude brother first glanced at the position of his boss Leon, and then silently moved to his younger brother's side, guarding the back row of the team with him.

The eight-person team was not moving very fast. Not only did they have to try to avoid the corpses and car wreckage, but they also had to step over corpses on the ground and various debris that had been destroyed by explosions and collapsed like street lamps from time to time.

After walking along the street for about 10 minutes, it was considered to be near the intersection of this street.

This intersection seemed to have been built into a simple position by the army. Hundreds of sandbags were built into several half-man-high defensive sentries. Six heavy-weight machine guns were mounted on the sandbags, with the muzzles pointed at all directions of the position.

In a corner of the position, a camouflage tank crashed into a building there. On the other side of the intersection, there was an unknown helicopter parked on the road, and a man whose upper body was torn apart The broken pilot was tied to the driver's seat.

As Lyon and others continued to move forward, they observed carefully. On the ground of the position and among the corpses wandering nearby, they also found more than a dozen zombies or corpses wearing camouflage uniforms. They were probably all soldiers killed in this position. .

Many of them were killed by headshots with guns.

Maybe they were executed by others to prevent them from dying and turning into zombies.

Leon thought this, and then turned right into another street with Glenn.

The condition of this street is almost the same as the previous one. The road is full of car wrecks and wandering zombies, but there are more of them.

As the team deepened, everyone was surrounded by countless zombies. Leon could clearly feel that everyone's hearts were filled with fear, fear of death. As the team continued to deepen, this fear became more and more intense. strong.

Everyone knows that if they are surrounded by tens of thousands of zombies here, no one can escape the fate of being eaten, and maybe they will be chewed into a skeleton. Thinking about it this way, even a person like Lyon who comes with his own plug-in The strong man's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

But at this critical moment, Leon noticed that Professor Amlin, who was walking in front of him, trembled slightly, raised his head uncontrollably, and sneezed in front of him.

Ah! !sneeze! !
…………

The sound of sneezing, muffled by the motorcycle helmet, sounded like a sack filled with sand falling from a height to the ground.

Low and clear.

In an instant, everyone in the team had their limbs stiff, their hairs stood on end, and a trace of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Leon cursed in his heart and controlled his thoughts of killing. He raised his head slightly and carefully observed the zombies around him, not daring to make any big moves.

This clear voice, of course, attracted the attention of the zombies within a hundred meters nearby. They all turned their heads, looked at Amlin's position, and tentatively surrounded him.

Feeling the increasingly trembling body of the university professor in front of him, Leon put his palm on his shoulder gently, signaling that he should not be afraid or act rashly.

No matter what they thought, the zombies did not hesitate in their actions. Hundreds of zombies all crowded towards a few people.Everyone held their breath, and several of them closed their eyes in fear. They were surrounded by zombies in the center. They silently prayed that they would not be discovered by the zombies. They were like statues, motionless and did not dare to make any movement. .

This was something Leon had explained before setting off. When crossing the sea of ​​corpses, even if the team members around him were dismembered in front of him, he could not act rashly, otherwise he would have sacrificed his life in vain.

5 minutes of silence.

It seems like 5 centuries have passed.

The corpses walked around without finding anything. They gradually gave up the search, staggered back to their original positions, and began wandering aimlessly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the underwear inside the armor was completely soaked with sweat.

But they didn't dare to stop any longer, and followed Glenn closely, heading in the direction of Georgia Tech.

This was the first time that Leon was so close to death that he couldn't even resist and could only wait. He didn't take this mission too seriously at first and only thought it was a slightly difficult rescue mission.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a big danger. This beating made Leon's somewhat arrogant mentality quickly cool down.

The apocalypse is too dangerous. You may die at any time due to various accidents, so just be patient.

Fortunately, after the lesson just now, everyone's spirits were broken to the limit. No one dared to relax anymore. The team moved forward slowly, groping for nearly an hour and a half, crossing several streets, and finally walked out of this area. A sea of ​​zombies.

After leaving the block with tall buildings and walking for another 5 minutes, they finally came to a small square with beautiful environment and dense vegetation.

At the end of the small square, a 30-meter-high European-style building made of marble and reinforced concrete stands there.

Behind this building, there are many tall or short, beautiful or strange academic buildings, surrounded by vegetation and trees. From time to time, you can see fountains and statues of various shapes. The overall area is very large, like a Huge garden.

This is their destination. They can see the gate and sign of Georgia Institute of Technology from a long distance away.

At this time, this prestigious school, one of the three most famous polytechnics in the United States, also lost its former glory and turned into a ghost land.

Garden-like buildings of various colors are filled with many young zombies wearing various casual clothes. They wander aimlessly and are randomly scattered in every corner of the school. There are tens of thousands of them.

Professor Amlin couldn't help but take a few steps closer, with a sad look on his face, his eyes were moist, and there was a hint of choking in his tone:
"This school was once a palace of knowledge and a jewel of human civilization. Over the past hundreds of years, it has cultivated countless outstanding scientific research talents. From here, they entered society, led the changes of the times, and created countless great achievements."

"Oh, what a pity."

"I remember that before I left, there were more than 2 students, more than 1000 teachers and more than 2000 employees here. I just don't know how many people are still alive now."

Leon stepped forward, patted the professor on the shoulder, and said:
"Let's go, Professor, there's no point in dreaming here, we still need you to lead the way."

"Go and see with your own eyes who is still alive."

"As you said before, every minute of advance may save a life."

After speaking, he waved to the team members, pulled out a sharp short knife from his belt, and said:

"Everyone, follow me, try to stealth and kill, fight a bloody path, don't make any sound."
