Chapter 147

Four big trucks drove on the road leading to the observatory in an orderly manner. The two lane road was full of two rows of trucks running in parallel. Derek and others still did not turn on the lights. They controlled the speed within a certain range, so that the noise of the engine would not alarm people on guard at a relatively long distance.

"Cheer up, brothers," Derek's voice came from the intercom. "After tonight's vote, if you are lucky, the President will invite us to visit Washington."

"Haha," Ian said with a smile, "if I have the opportunity to sit with the President, I must ask him how he managed to become the first black candidate to enter the national election stage in American history and the first black president to be elected successfully."

"What are you going to do, man," Bob asked.

"Why? Hey, hey," Ian laughed even harder. "Of course, I will help you to consult some experience. If you can run for president like him one day, we will make a lot of money."

Derek and Matthew both laughed. Only Bob touched his bare head and said, "Do you want to run for president? I never thought about it. But it would be hard to be surrounded by a lot of people and cameras every day if I really became president. I don't like this kind of life without freedom."

"The President of the United States is the most powerful person on the planet, Bob," Derek reminded him. Although this was just a joke Ian played on the sunglasses man, Derek couldn't help telling him the benefits of becoming President.

"If rights cannot bring freedom, how can such rights be called rights?" The words that popped out of Bob's mouth surprised everyone else.

"Cast pearls before swine," the word appeared in the hearts of several people at the same time.

"Slow down a bit," Derek said. "I've seen their fire. Don't let the noise of the car disturb them."

"I saw it, Derek," Matthew licked his lips excitedly. His eyes were full of desire, which was a violent desire.

"Here we are, lambs," Ian sat in the cab and began to dance. He shook his head and twisted his body to the tune of pop music humming in his mouth.

There were some subtle sounds in the cool wind. Norman raised his head and looked at the entrance of the parking lot. It was dark in his sight, and he could see nothing.

Just when Norman thought he had heard wrong, several big shadows suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the voice he had just heard became clear.

"What's the matter, Norman?" Nikola saw Norman looking in the direction of the parking lot. He also looked over there. "What do you see?"

"There's a big guy coming," Norman picked up his gun and walked in the direction of the sound.

"Yes," Nikolai also heard the voice. He quickly woke up Chanin and Ivan and led them to follow him.

"Shua shua," the headlights at the front of the truck suddenly came on, and the unprepared soldiers were blinded by the suddenly lit lights. At the next moment, there were bursts of gunfire in the parking lot.

Under the lookout table, Jason, who was sleeping in his sleeping bag, suddenly sat up. He quickly grabbed the gun in his hand. He also had the same reaction as several veterans in the team.

"It was gunfire," said one of the soldiers who woke up.

"At the entrance of the plank road," Jason nodded and quickly judged the direction of the sound.

"Wake up the other brothers quickly," Jason told the soldiers who had already woken up. "Be careful not to disturb others to avoid chaos at night."

"Yes, Major," the figures of several soldiers scattered, and more and more soldiers around woke up.

Their voices still startled some sleeping people. "What's happening, Major?" someone asked vaguely.

"Something seems to be going wrong over there. I'll take someone to see it right away," Jason explained in a low voice. "You just stay here and keep quiet to avoid causing unnecessary confusion."

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

The soldiers were soon gathered and led by Jason to the plank road on the side of the lookout and started running towards the entrance of the parking lot.

After the gunshot, only four bodies were left on the ground in front of him. Derek waved to his companions, who quickly returned to the car and drove the truck toward the entrance of the plank road.

The wheel ran over the body on the ground, but the people in the cab felt nothing. They turned the car around in front of them, and then turned the back carriage towards the entrance of the plank road. The wheels continued to run over the fire, crushing the burning firewood to the ground. The fire suddenly became dark, leaving only scattered charcoal fires burning on the ground.

There are two plank roads leading to the observation platform, and now each of them is blocked by the carriages of two box trucks.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the plank road on the right side of the front. Derek asked everyone else to turn off the lights, and then all four of them pressed the switch on the back door of the carriage.

The door of the cargo box slowly rose, and many people poured out of it in the dark. They rushed to the two plank roads and walked towards the front.

The sound of footsteps attracted the figures on the right plank road, and their forward steps began to accelerate obviously.

The light of the tactical flashlight hanging on the barrel of the gun lit up the plank road in front of them. A large group of people suddenly appeared in the opposite side, which made the soldiers walking in front stunned. When the light shone on the faces of these people, they responded.

The sudden appearance of zombies made everyone unprepared, and there was a brief chaos in the crowd. At this time, the zombies had rushed in front of them.

The screams and gunshots were heard on the plank road. Derek looked at it with a sneer beside the truck outside the plank road. He and his partner had already got off the car with guns, and the four men hid their figures in the dark.

More and more people were startled in the lookout platform. Some people who did not know the situation began to ask others around about what had happened, while those who woke up early began to explain to them.

"There's gunfire!" Hill sat up and shook Kim who was sleeping beside her.

"Huh?" Hill's words made Kim wake up from sleep. They climbed out of the tent and found that the lookout was full of panicked people.

"Thompson," Kim saw the man with the gun ready to go towards the plank road, and her voice stopped the man.

"Kim, Hill," Thompson turned around and saw a familiar face. He ran over and said to the two people, "Something seems to have happened at the end of the plank road. I just asked Selena to take Dr. Mario and Dr. Martin to the second floor of the lookout. You'd better go up too."

"No matter what happens there, high places will always be safer." Thompson pushed Kim and Hill with his hand, pointed to the metal stairs nearby, and said, "Listen to me, go quickly."

"Well, you should also pay attention to your safety," said the two girls together, then turned and ran towards the stairs.

The screams from afar intensified the fear and anxiety of the people on the lookout tower. Several nearby fires were added with firewood by the people who woke up, and the rekindled flames made the people nearby feel a little calmer.

"Look over there. What is it?" A voice screamed. Thompson, who was about to run towards Jason and others, turned around and looked at the sound. He saw a man who was adding firewood was thrown to the ground by several figures at the fire at the entrance of another plank road. They fell into the fire together and knocked the firewood that had just been stacked to the ground. More figures in the fire appeared there.

There was a scream from the fire, and fear began to spread on the lookout like a plague.

In the light of the fire, Thompson finally saw the faces of those figures.

"God, it's a zombie," a chill ran up his forehead along his back, and Thompson's body was covered with goose bumps.

"It's a zombie, everyone pick up the gun quickly," Thompson's voice was almost suppressed by other shouts in the panic. He rushed with the gun and began to shoot in the direction of the plank road. At this time, people around joined in, and more and more muzzles were spitting fire, which made the zombies who had just entered the lookout stand rush.

The suppression was only temporary, and the follow-up zombies poured in like a tide, and people around him started to throw away their guns and run away. Thompson's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he didn't know it at the moment.

"MD," Jason heard the fierce gunfire coming from the lookout behind him during the fight, and when he recovered, he remembered that there were two plank roads leading from the outside to the lookout. Now all the soldiers are concentrated on the plank road here, and the defense of the other plank road is completely blank.

If there are so many zombies on the other side, Jason's forehead is sweating cold.

"Stephen, I'll leave it to you," Jason shouted. "Someone has entered from another plank road. I have to take some people back to protect the doctors."

"Yes, Major," Stephen answered.

"Before the queue, the even numbered people followed me, and the others stayed here to follow Sergeant Stephen's command," Jason said. The people had already run a few meters toward the lookout tower, and more than a dozen figures followed closely behind.

A cry of alarm came from the second floor of the observation tower, and the people above began to panic under the influence of the people below.

"Everyone is quiet," Dr. Mario's voice sounded in the crowd. "We have no reason to be afraid of soldiers standing in front of us."

The doctor's voice calmed everyone down, and the panic in the crowd also dissipated a lot. Some people lie on the window and look down, trying to find their familiar figures from the figures below.
