"It seems that their camp has been targeted for a long time."

It's another night.

Outside the villa, Brian and the others once again sat in a circle around the bonfire. However, unlike the delicious meat porridge in the pot a few days ago, they were just chewing the dried meat in their mouths.

Listening to Sarah recounting the information she was about to get, Brian glanced at LaRue, a boy who ate different food than they did, and came to a conclusion.

"The camp was suddenly attacked by a large number of infected people, and as soon as they escaped, they were attacked by armed humans. I would only believe it if there were no problems."

Tess also answered fluently while eating dried meat, then twisted her neck and said: "Since he is awake, we can leave tomorrow. It's really uncomfortable to stay here these days."

"Well, it's really time to leave."

Brian glanced at the pieces of dried meat dried on the shelf in the yard next to him, and felt that it was almost done. He nodded and agreed: "The food is almost ready. Now that everyone is well, let's set off tomorrow."

As he spoke, he shook his head in annoyance, sighed and said, "It's really troublesome to have another mouth."

"Tsk, tsk, since you have made a decision, you will naturally have to bear the consequences."

Hearing this, Tess sneered and looked at the boy Lalu, looked at the meat porridge in his hand with envy, took a hard bite of the dried meat in his hand, and said, "Who told you to be so kind?"

"Ahem, that."

Seeing that no one was talking, Ellie, who had already eaten, rolled her eyes in circles, took out a pamphlet from behind, coughed lightly to attract the attention of the people around her, and said, "How about we relax for a while?

Let me tell you some jokes!"

"Um?"

These strange words immediately attracted the attention of others, and they all looked towards the girl.

Brian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "You want to... tell a joke?"

"Of course, I don't mean to be funny: Episode 2, written by Will Livingston, this is a treasure I got from school, I won't tell others easily."

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to her, Ellie stretched out her hand to turn the pages of the book without any stage fright, and said like a performer on the stage: "So, are you ready?"

After saying that, he ignored the weird expressions of others and said loudly: "

"Which station did soldiers from the Civil War most often appear at?"

"The answer is: Civil War..."

“…..”

The scene was quiet, Brian and others just stared at Ellie, vaguely filled with question marks.

Ellie didn't care about this at all and continued to talk to herself:

"Why are all Southern soldiers male?"

"Because he is... a "male" soldier..."

"I walked into my sister's room and tripped over her bra...oh, that's a bad sign!"

"What a joke!"

After listening to two "jokes" in a row, Tess finally couldn't sit still, and raised her hand to stop the other person from continuing to recite.

"You don't know how to appreciate it. Don't you think everyone else is listening with gusto?"

But Ellie did uncharacteristically roll her eyes, completely ignored it, and continued to talk about her "joke."

"Su's book fell during my competition, so I can only blame Su if I lose the competition...Haha!!!"

At this point, Ellie suddenly burst into laughter. After a long time, she noticed that she was the only one smiling cheerfully. She coughed lightly and continued:

“Why would a couple who have been married for many years divorce their spouse?”

"Because of "old tripping" and knocking each other down..."

"It's so cold."

Now Joel, who had always been silent, couldn't stand it anymore and expressed his thoughts in a low voice.

Hearing this, Ellie rolled her eyes again to show her dissatisfaction.

"You are the cold one."

"Do you understand what that means?"

"No, but that's not important."

Ellie chuckled twice and slowly closed her joke book: "That's it, these are the jokes in this episode."

"Huhu~"

A gust of cold wind blew by, and birds flew slowly over the heads of several people. Brian felt that after hearing these cold jokes, instead of relaxing at all, he got goosebumps all over his body, and he stood up decisively.

"I will go and sleep now."

When Brian left, the rest of the people also stood up one after another. In the blink of an eye, only Ellie was left sitting alone by the bonfire.

Seeing this situation, Ellie scratched her head in confusion, looked down at the joke book in her hand, and murmured:

"Isn't this funny..."

…..

The next day.

As the boy LaRue regained consciousness, Brian and his team set off in the car again.

Due to the extra person, the seats in the car were re-assigned. Sarah sat in the back with the two children, Tess sat in the passenger seat, and Joel jumped into the open-air compartment at the back and leaned in the back.

As the music tape was inserted, soothing music came from the speakers, and the car became quiet for a while.

The few people on the seats looked at the abandoned houses and trees passing by outside the car window, their expressions were slightly lost, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Thirds of the gas is gone."

Brian lowered his head and glanced at the pointer on the car's fuel gauge, thinking that he had been searching for gasoline for the past few days but could not find any gasoline. He sighed in distress: "If we don't find fuel, I'm afraid we will have to move forward on foot."

"Let's take a step and see."

Tess really didn't care about this, she folded her hands on the back of her head and leaned on the seat, saying: "It's not like I haven't passed by before anyway."

"To put it lightly, is that a little way?"

Brian shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and concentrated on driving the car without talking.

After driving for several hours, several people saw from the sign that ahead was a small town called New Stanton.

Originally, they just glanced at this common roadside sign to know where they were, but after driving for a while, Brian actually stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.

This unexpected braking effect shook everyone in the car awake, and they sat up straight and looked around in alarm.

"What's wrong?!"

Pulling out her pistol out of habit, Tess instinctively raised her pistol and aimed at the surroundings. After looking around, she found no threat, and she couldn't help but look puzzled.

"Here, ahead."

Brian didn't explain anything, he just raised his chin slightly to signal everyone to look forward.

Hearing this, everyone in the car looked forward along the front windows, and their faces became a little solemn.

"Roaring..."

In the middle of the street ahead, I saw seven or eight infected people standing blankly on the spot, lowering their heads and roaring fiercely. Of course, if this was the case, they would not be like this, and they would just drive straight towards them.

What really made them feel solemn was that each infected person's neck was bound by a rusty iron ring. A thick chain connected a section of the iron ring to a lock on the ground. As the infected person moved,

The chain makes a clanging sound when it is shaken, preventing the infected person from leaving the street.

Next to these infected people, there was a roaring flag with a ferocious skull mark painted on it.

Brian looked at the flag and then at the infected people. He frowned slightly and turned his head to look at the rest of the people. He said, "It seems that some people don't want us to move forward."

"A typical demonstration method is to tie infected people on the road entering the town to warn passing survivors not to continue approaching.

Joel jumped out of the trunk at some point, walked to the driver's seat, and said: "Although there are mostly threats, judging from the status of these infected people, no matter how many people are inside, they are afraid
