Driving the car out of the town, Brian held the steering wheel and drove towards the nearest highway.

Although the location of the town was not remote, many roads around it were impassable. They drove around for a while before finally approaching their destination.

The entrance to the dilapidated highway is crowded with rusty cars. From the wreckage of these crowded and colliding vehicles, we can still vaguely get a glimpse of how tragic the situation happened here when the disaster broke out, and the hearts of the people who were jammed on the road.

of wails and despair.

After looking at the intricate traveling route in front of him, and then at the exit location with only a few scattered cars nearby, Brian decisively turned around and entered the exit passage. No one could control him now anyway.

"Huh? Where did you get these magazines?"

After the vehicle drove a certain distance, Brian suddenly heard Sarah's voice from behind. He looked up at the rearview mirror in the center and found Ellie sitting in the middle holding a comic magazine and reading it with gusto.

"Hey, you little brat, if Bill knows that you secretly took his things, he will definitely kick you in the ass!"

When Tess heard the noise, she turned her head and glanced at the magazine in Ellie's hand. She chuckled and casually dug into the open backpack beside her and said, "Let me see what other goodies you got!"

As he said that, he took out a tape that was still considered old, and several magazines of the same size, except that the cover of the top magazine showed a handsome man with a shirtless upper body, showing off his eight-pack abs.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to have such a good thing here!"

Looking at the top magazine, Tess flipped through it with interest, then picked up the tape and stuck it in the middle of the seat in front of her: "Joel, please excuse me."

Joel also felt that the car was a little dull. He looked at the tape and directly reached out to take it, stuffed it into the slot and clicked to play.

Perhaps because it has not been used for a long time, there was some noise from the car's horn at first, but the beautiful music soon replaced the noise.

"What it is?"

Hearing the faint sound coming from the speaker, Ellie's attention was drawn away from the comic magazine, she looked around and asked curiously.

"Tape, a thing from a long time ago."

Sarah touched the other person's head when he heard this, and explained patiently: "It's just that someone recorded his own songs in it, so that when someone wants to listen, they can use the player to listen to it anytime, anywhere. Now it shouldn't be

It’s so common, but it can be seen everywhere before a disaster occurs.”

"I see, you were really good at that time!"

After hearing these words, Ellie's interest was immediately attracted. She wanted to be curious about the baby and continued to ask: "Can you tell me what the world was like before..."

.....

Three days later.

Near New York City, Route 84.

"Crack!"

The car slowly stopped at the service station. Brian picked up the rifle next to him and got out of the driver's seat. He glanced at the gas stations and motels on both sides of the road. After closing the car door, he glanced at Tess and Tess who also got off.

Joel said: "You two go to the motel over there and check. It looks like there are no infected people at the gas station here. Sarah and I can handle this."

"Then be careful yourselves."

Joel nodded without saying anything, greeted Tess and walked toward the motel on the other side of the road, but he slowed down halfway there, as if he had discovered an infected person.

"Want me to come with you?"

Sarah also got out of the car at the same time, looked at the gas station next to it and the convenience store inside and asked.

"You should take care of her."

Looking at Ellie who was already sleeping on the back seat in the back car, Brian motioned for Sarah to stay where she was and said: "By the way, stay in the middle of the road and take a look at the surrounding situation. If there is anything unusual, notify us immediately."

"All right."

After visually checking the distance between herself and the gas station, Sarah felt that she should be able to provide timely support, so she nodded and followed Brian's words to observe the surrounding movements.

Holding the gun in his hand, Brian slowly entered the gas station and glanced at the glass of the convenience store, but it was already covered with a layer of dust, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

He slowed down his pace, walked slowly to the door of the convenience store, and listened for a moment to what was going on inside. There was no movement inside.

Brian carefully held the door handle and slowly pushed the dirt-covered glass door inward, but it was blocked before he could push it very far in. It seemed that something was blocking the door behind the door.

Looking inside through the gap, he could clearly see a thigh covered in dirt and a dark red mark on the ground next to it.

"Wow!"

Seeing this, Brian pushed the glass door hard inside, then leaned sideways and got directly in through the gap in the door. Sure enough, there was a body covered with maggots lying behind the door. It was probably dead for several months.

It's been a while.

Then he looked around the convenience store and found that it had been artificially transformed into a living place. It had all the basic living equipment, but it was already covered with dust and no one was there.

continue to use.

Turning his attention to the corpse again, Brian squatted down and investigated a little, and found that the fatal wound was inserted into the abdomen, and a dagger was inserted into it. It seemed to be a common catastrophe in the apocalypse.

Predation incident.

After checking the situation inside the convenience store, he walked around the gas station convenience store again and saw traces of cultivation in the area behind it, but it was already covered by weeds that poked out of his head.

Rumble...

With the faint sound of thunder coming from above their heads, several people chose a motel with a larger number of rooms to stay in after checking out the nearby ones.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There were people living there, but they were killed inside, everything was looted, and the gasoline was drained."

Driving the vehicle into the motel, Brian got out of the car and briefly explained the situation there. Then he followed Joel into the nearest larger room and sighed: "I've walked all this way.

All the gas stations are out of gasoline, and although the car currently has plenty of fuel, I might not be able to reach Peachtree City if it continues like this."

"Don't worry, it's not too far from the quarantine zone in New York. Naturally they won't let go of something as important as gasoline."

In this regard, Joel did not particularly care about this matter and said: "When I was in the black market in the quarantine area, I once heard that there was a not too big black market near Boston. It was a gathering of several large and small places nearby.

It’s a place where people trade with each other. Occasionally some wanderers and wilderness caravans will do a certain amount of trading there when they pass by. I think there should be some here, but I’m afraid it’s not easy to find.”

"The black market in the wilderness... I have heard of it from others."

Brian has a general understanding of this matter. Although the black market materials in the quarantine area are the best in terms of quality, type and quantity, there are actually many things that cannot be traded there, such as firearms and equipment equipped by the army.

If all kinds of equipment were known to the army's eyes and ears hidden inside, it would take even a few lives to escape.

In addition, the quarantine area is under martial law from time to time, and the black market in the quarantine area is exploited secretly. Some strongholds in the wilderness simply joined forces to build one of their own. Although the quality is quite poor, it is still relatively fair.

It also attracted the participation of many survivor strongholds and the attention of wandering caravans and travelers.
