Time Travel: I am a Warlord in Doomsday America
Chapter 33 Motel
"Hoo..."
"Ah uh..."
The roars of the zombies became louder and louder.
The white man raised his hands and stared at the street outside the windshield without saying a word. Twenty or thirty zombies were approaching the coupe. Zhang Qiang noticed that the white man was thinking and planning something, and his pistol was ready to pull the trigger at any time.
"Kenny, don't do this."
The black man sitting in the passenger seat said to the white man.
Then the black man turned around and said to Zhang Qiang: "Hey man, we can give you whatever you want, but you don't have to kill us. We all have children and it's impossible for us to take you back."
Zhang Qiang raised his eyebrows. The black man was unexpectedly rational, which made him feel reluctant to make two holes in him.
After thinking about it, Zhang Qiang felt that the two of them did not seem to be lying, so he became a little more tolerant and cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem... I'm not a bad person. To tell you the truth, I was looking for Atlanta, but I took the wrong road and ended up in Macon. I need to find someone who knows the way to help me get out of here."
Zhang Qiang revealed some details.
The black man and the white man named Kenny looked at each other, and their expressions clearly revealed their distrust of Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang was very unhappy when he saw this. He put down his gun, took out the large and small maps from his backpack and threw them on the driver's seat, then said to the two of them:
“Look, this is my plan map. I know Macon and Atlanta are more than 100 kilometers apart, but… I’m just a damn directionally challenged person, okay?!
Who would make up such an illogical lie to deceive people? I am telling the truth, reality is so magical. "
The black man picked up the map and looked at it carefully. There were marks on it drawn with red pen.
This was the location note Daryl had made for Zhang Qiang before, but that loser Zhang Qiang didn't even understand it.
The black man glanced at Zhang Qiang and nodded:
“That does make sense, if that’s the case, I can help you, but I can’t leave here, we still have a lot of things to do.
Maybe you can come to our camp. I can only show you the way according to the map. The rest of the way is easy to find.
There are cannibals everywhere outside, Kenny, let's go back first."
The black man said something to Kenny again.
Kenny immediately became unhappy, his fat body trembling with anger, and said:
"Lee?! Are you crazy? Bringing a stranger back to camp?!"
Zhang Qiang didn't tolerate Kenny who contradicted him, so he lay in the back seat with his legs crossed, playing with his gun and said:
"You can continue to have your evil thoughts, or do me a favor so that I can trust you.
Believe me, if I owe you a favor, the reward will be huge.
Of course, if you insist on opening the car door to attract the zombies, I dare say that you two will die, and I will be fine."
Zhang Qiang thought about it and thought he had seen through Kenny's thoughts. He was not in a hurry. Anyway, Kenny and Black Li had no weapons to threaten him, and a fight would only take two shots.
"Kenny!!"
Lee's expression was pleading and serious.
The two people had different opinions. The more Zhang Qiang looked at them, the more familiar they looked. It was mainly because of their appearance and names that always gave him a sense of familiarity.
Perhaps it was this familiarity that prevented him from threatening them ruthlessly, and instead he tried to persuade them with words.
"Ah...as you wish."
Li's request finally wavered Kenny. He said something coldly to Zhang Qiang and started the coupe.
The car's engine roared, its tires spinning rapidly, and its metal body with huge kinetic energy directly knocked away the nearby zombies and drove out of the encirclement of the zombies.
"Hoo..."
A group of zombies with rotten faces turned around, roared in the direction the sedan was leaving, and then dragged their bodies slowly to catch up.
A moment later, the coupe stopped in front of a motel. The motel was surrounded by buildings and a circle of low brick walls that were one person tall. There were two large trash cans blocking each of the two entrances, and it looked well defended.
At least the brick wall can better withstand the attacks of zombies than the iron mesh wall, but the motel doesn't look big.
The two-story hotel had rooms that looked only three or four meters wide. Through the low wall, Zhang Qiang could even see the RVs inside and hear people talking in the parking lot.
The three got out of the car. Kenny and Lee didn't do anything, but just said to the people behind the fence, "We're back."
A short white man wearing glasses and a tall and strong white old man pushed aside the trash cans blocking the entrance to welcome their companions back.
When they saw Kenny and Lee coming back with a stranger, the two had completely different reactions.
The short white guy was more optimistic. He smiled and said, "It looks like there's a new guy joining us."
The elderly white man looked unhappy and said, "What's the use? One more mouth to feed! And this Asian doesn't look like a good person."
Zhang Qiang touched his nose. He didn't feel that the white old man was racist towards him. Instead, he felt that he had some malice in his eyes and judged that he was a tough guy.
Because the white old man looked at him cautiously, without the same sense of superiority and contempt of white supremacy that More had when he first met him.
"By the way, man, what's your name?"
Li, who had a short beard around his mouth and looked old-fashioned, tried to smooth things over.
"Zhang Qiang, the flower grower."
Zhang Qiang replied.
After saying this, he raised his chin and looked at the white old man in a superior manner. It was a bit of a bad taste.
Kenny drove the coupe into the motel, and Li relaxedly introduced Zhang Qiang to other people in the motel.
The old white man is called Larry, the short white man is called Mark, and Larry has a daughter named Lily, a tall white woman with long brown hair.
Zhang Qiang looked at Lily carefully, there was nothing he could do, this white girl was a serious and domineering lady, and her height was almost the same as Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang felt like his XP was being poked.
There was also a boy and a girl in the camp, playing together. The boy was from Kenny's family, named Duck. As for the little girl, Li hesitantly introduced her as his adopted daughter.
Her name is Clementine.
Zhang Qiang's head suddenly became hot, some memories emerged, and he remembered! !
Motel!! Kenny the ungrateful one! Lee the one-armed god of war!! And Xiao Ke!!
Isn't this a character from the fucking Walking Dead game!!!
I didn't expect this world to be like this... a fusion of games and dramas...
Zhang Qiang was a little dazed until the two women standing upstairs came down and asked Li about the results of the search today.
Lily, Zhang Qiang knows her.
There was also a white woman who just walked out of the room. Zhang Qiang vaguely remembered that she was a reporter before the disaster, but he forgot her name.
"This is Carly."
Li introduced.
"Zhang Qiang. The flower grower."
Zhang Qiang shook hands with Carly politely, and she responded in a friendly manner.
Then Li started talking with Carly and Lily. The general content was that they didn't find any food today, and the food and water in the camp were not enough for everyone's daily needs.
Li looked a little depressed. After learning the result, Lily went upstairs with an unhappy look on her face. Only Carly stayed there to comfort Li.
Zhang Qiang noticed that Li was secretly looking at Xiao Ke, his expression full of guilt. This black man was a university professor before the disaster and was considered a very rare intellectual among black people.
Before the disaster, Li killed his wife to testify (suspected of manslaughter). When he was arrested by the police and sent to prison, he was involved in a car accident. It happened that the corpse flu broke out, so he escaped imprisonment.
On the way of escape, Li met Clementine hiding in a tree house. Protecting the little girl and helping her find her parents became the process of Li's self-salvation.
Zhang Qiang sighed. The first season of The Walking Dead was one of the few games that moved him. Although some of the characters and choices in the game were stupid, the plot of Lee cutting off his arm after being bitten by a zombie in order to buy time to rescue Clementine was really hard to describe...
Zhang Qiang took off the large backpack behind him, handed it to Li, and said:
"Take it. Consider it your reward for your help. Find me an empty room. I need to have a good rest."
Li looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise. Zhang Qiang's target was Atlanta. Li thought Zhang Qiang was just a passer-by in the motel, but he didn't expect that the other party would take out all the supplies.
"But...you still have to go to Atlanta..."
Li struggled for a moment, but kindness made him speak.
Zhang Qiang's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! How could I forget! Give it back to me! I can't make it to Atlanta without these foods!!"
Li's black face suddenly turned purple.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but bend over and hold his stomach and laugh until tears came out of his eyes. Then he stood up, patted Li's shoulder, and said:
"Lee, stop being funny and take it away!"
"Thank you! Zhang!"
Li thanked them repeatedly and went upstairs with his big backpack to find Lily. Lily was in charge of the distribution of supplies in the camp and reminded everyone not to waste food, otherwise with the supply-collecting ability of everyone in the camp, they would have been too hungry to walk.
Zhang Qiang's action of giving out food was noticed by everyone, and everyone became very friendly towards this newcomer.
Kenny, who had been threatened before, also came with his wife to thank Zhang Qiang and said some funny things about how people get to know each other better through fighting. Zhang Qiang casually dealt with Kenny and his fat wife and sent them away.
To be honest, he didn't like this family very much. If Kenny didn't have his son Dak, Zhang Qiang felt that he wouldn't even go out to forage for food. Kenny was an egoist, and their family was a definite burden to the camp.
After Kenny left, the short man Mark came over with a shotgun on his back and greeted Zhang Qiang. The two told some jokes about zombies, and Zhang Qiang was quite happy.
Afterwards, Larry also came over and talked to Zhang Qiang, seemingly getting to know someone new. Daily chat was one of the few entertainment activities for everyone after the disaster.
Zhang Qiang found a wooden box to sit on. Larry's height was really terrifying. Although he was a little hunchbacked due to his old age, he was still more than 1.9 meters tall, almost two meters tall, and looked very fat.
"Zhang, right?! Welcome here. I have something to remind you. As long as you can do it, everyone will live well!
One, stay away from my daughter!
Two, stay away from my daughter!
Three, stay away from my daughter Lily!!”
Larry stood next to Zhang Qiang. There was an obvious height difference between them, and Zhang Qiang was sitting on a wooden box.
Zhang Qiang made room for Larry and patted the wooden box to signal him to sit down. Larry snorted and actually sat down.
The huge weight made the wooden box groan.
Zhang Qiang took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket and asked, "Want to smoke?"
Larry suffers from heart disease. He was indeed a heavy smoker when he was young. Even after he suffered from heart disease, he couldn't help but secretly smoke a few cigarettes. But now the world has changed. In order to protect his daughter, he has become particularly cherishing of his health.
Larry's face twitched and his eyes moved back and forth between the cigarette pack and the second floor of the motel. Finally, he sighed and politely declined Zhang Qiang, but this time his tone was much better.
"No, thank you. I have a weak heart. Alas..."
Larry stood up and left.
The people here didn't ask much about Zhang Qiang's past, because Zhang Qiang said he was a flower grower, and everyone assumed that Zhang Qiang was just a tourist in the United States.
Zhang Qiang smoked silently until a little girl wearing a baseball cap with the letter D printed on it came running towards him.
"Hi, how are you?"
Xiao Ke looked at Zhang Qiang curiously with his big, blinking eyes.
Zhang Qiang laughed but didn't say anything because he didn't know what to talk about. He was not good at taking care of children.
"New guy, come up and have a chat."
Lily's voice came from the second floor. Zhang Qiang looked up and saw Lily folding her arms and looking at him coldly.
Zhang Qiang put out his cigarette, patted Xiao Ke on the head, and walked towards the stairs.
In Lily's room on the second floor, Li sat on a wooden chair and Lily sat on the edge of the bed. Zhang Qiang walked into the room with the door wide open and sat down on a random seat.
"Is there a problem?"
Zhang Qiang looked at the two of them and asked.
Lily tried her best to appear friendly, but her brows, which had not been relaxed for a long time, were still slightly frowned.
There was silence on the cold and beautiful face.
Li Jianli didn't want to speak up, so he said:
“We hope you’ll stay.
Zhang, you are a tourist, right? You may not know much about Atlanta, but there are a lot of people there, so... there must be a lot of monsters now...
Things are pretty good here in Macon, so you don’t have to risk going to a big city.”
Zhang Qiang looked at Lily, then at Li. He shook his head with a half-smile and said:
"Don't try to persuade me. I have my own things to do."
Zhang Qiang didn't want to explain too much, mainly because these people were not qualified to ask him to explain.
Friends? They are not.
Strong? They are even less qualified.
Lily's brows furrowed again, and she spoke with a strange and superior tone:
"This is for your own good. You have no idea what Atlanta is like."
Zhang Qiang didn't tolerate it this time, he just stood up and said:
"I don't give a shit about you, so put away your sense of superiority, white lady!"
After saying that, Zhang Qiang stood up and left the room.
Li extended his hand with the intention of retaining him. He wanted to continue trying to talk to Zhang Qiang, but it seemed that it was not appropriate at the moment.
"What an arrogant idiot!!"
Lily commented loudly and unceremoniously.
"Lily! Stop saying bad words!"
Larry's voice sounded downstairs. He was always paying attention to his daughter's situation.
Zhang Qiang ran into Larry when he was going downstairs.
Larry now has a strange liking for Zhang Qiang. He thinks that anyone who gets close to Lily has ulterior motives.
On the contrary, Zhang Qiang started to get angry when he spoke to his daughter for the first time. Larry felt that nothing would happen between Zhang Qiang and his daughter.
"Zhang, are you leaving here? Are you going to Atlanta?"
Larry asked.
Zhang Qiang noticed that the old man's attitude towards him had inexplicably improved. He nodded in confusion and said, "Yes, I'll be leaving soon."
"Can I ask what you were doing there?" Larry continued.
Zhang Qiang did not get impatient and simply explained: "A few acquaintances got separated a while ago, so I went back to see if they were found. It would be best if they were found alive."
Now Larry knew that Zhang Qiang was aware of the situation in Atlanta. He was really brave enough to go back and look for his friends despite the danger of millions of zombies!
