I'm so tired of traveling all the time

Chapter 18: Escape from Manhattan

"Are any of you injured?"

A soldier walked in quickly and asked, and Wen Liang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

“No one’s hurt,” Jason said, tightening his rifle around his shoulder.

But it seemed that the daimyo didn't care about the gun on Jason. Instead, he said, "It's best if you're not injured. We have set up a temporary station in the subway station and will evacuate in batches soon. If anyone of you is injured, you can get help there. If you are not injured, you can also get supplies there and then evacuate first..."

"Is it in there?"

"Go inside, to Hall 3," the soldier said, turning to leave. "I have other tasks to do, so I can't take you there. Good luck!"

After the soldiers left, everyone got up immediately and rushed to the temporary camp without even taking a rest.

The lights along the way were bright, and the vibrations from the explosions could be transmitted to the underground hall from time to time, causing the top of the head to shake constantly.

Invisibly, everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Following the signs on both sides of the passage, everyone walked through the curved corridor. There were many shops on both sides, but they were all empty.

"Is this Aisle 59?"

"Yes," Karen said, pointing to the small map icon on the wall, "we are here."

"Where should I go next?" Wen Liang discovered that there was a fork in the road ahead.

On the left was a shop passage with the cold light overhead on and the door open. It was extremely quiet inside, frighteningly quiet, but there seemed to be a staircase leading up ahead; on the right was the same passage as the one behind, with a slightly curved shape, and it was difficult to see what was ahead.

"Wait!" Jason whispered as he held up his rifle, "There's a sound!"

Everyone was nervous after hearing this. Wen Liang also raised his pistol, his palms sweating with nervousness. Others hid behind, not daring to make any noise.

Wow! !

A dozen black figures suddenly appeared on the left, accompanied by loud shouts.

"Don't move!!"

"do not move!"

"Eight civilians spotted!"

"Is there anyone else?"

What appeared was the human army, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers, who blocked the crowd in a fan shape as soon as they appeared. The strong light of the tactical flashlights and infrared aiming locked onto everyone, making it impossible for Wen Liang and others to just observe.

After the opposing army took control of the situation, they quickly lifted the alert. When the lights were lowered, Wen Liang realized that they were patrol personnel from the temporary station.

"Confirmed, no one is infected, only one person was hit by falling objects and needs treatment!"

"Bring them here."

"Yes sir!"

The crisis was resolved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Marina couldn't help but anxiously ask the leading soldier, "Sir, do you know what that is outside? Do you know what it is?"

The leading soldier walked forward quickly, his tone very pessimistic, "Even if they knew, they didn't tell me. Whatever it is, it's bound to win!"

With the guidance of the patrol team, everyone quickly arrived at the garrison mentioned by the soldier.

The periphery of this place has been surrounded by a defense line based on the original buildings. Dozens of soldiers are patrolling non-stop. When they see a patrol team leading the way, they immediately let people in.

The place was already crowded with people. As soon as they entered, a low and dense noise reached everyone's ears. Most of the people here were rescued by the search and rescue team on the ground.

There were military commanders and patrol teams, doctors and nurses walking around, and even more were ordinary people waiting in the hall. Whether they were elites in suits and ties or workers in plain clothes, they were all waiting to be rescued.

After everyone was placed aside, they waited for more than ten minutes before a doctor came to examine Beth.

"The injury itself is not serious, just a slight concussion and multiple bruises and scrapes on the body. However, the high-intensity running has aggravated the injury, and the condition of the internal organs is not optimistic. He needs to be transferred to the hospital for surgery immediately!" The doctor said quickly, "I suggest that he be transferred to the next city immediately. What's its name?"

"Beth, her name is Beth!" Robert answered immediately, "Doctor, when can we transfer her? Her condition..."

"Her condition is not fatal for now, but if she is not treated in time, it will soon worsen. At the very least, it will affect the difficulty of later treatment, and at worst, it may kill her." The doctor said while recording the situation, "I will suggest to the commander that she be evacuated first in the next batch. One person can accompany her. As for the others, you need to ask the commander!"

Looking at the doctor who left in a hurry, everyone gathered together to discuss the matter.

"Robert, please evacuate with Beth. I think she needs you by her side." Jason spoke first.

No one had any objection to this. Robert looked around and nodded in thanks. "Thank you, everyone. I will take good care of her. I will contact you again when it is safe to leave here!"

Wen Liang spoke up at this time, "We also have to try to leave as soon as possible. Everyone has heard what the patrol captain said just now! Jason, you have been a soldier, so the task of negotiating with the commander is given to you. If necessary, we can serve as escorts, provided that you bring the girls with you. I think they also need more manpower to join them now!"

"No problem, leave it to me!" Jason agreed readily.

"The rest of you should pack up and be ready to go at any time," Wen Liang said. "Just now I noticed that there is food and water available here. We should each prepare our own portions and simplify our backpacks to make them as light as possible for easy movement!"

After saying that, everyone went about their own business. Wen Liang also went to collect the maximum amount of supplies that each person could receive, and then secretly transferred them into the space while putting them into the backpack, leaving only one day's worth of supplies.

Then he sat aside, removed the magazine, and played with the pistol.

"M1911, one of the National Guard's sidearms, is a very classic pistol. I have one at home, too."

Wen Liang looked up and saw that Jason had returned with an officer beside him, and it was that officer who was speaking.

Jason introduced, "This is my friend Will, and this is Corporal Carl. He will take us to get some weapons and equipment. We will follow the next escort team and leave Manhattan together, and all we need to do is use guns to protect ourselves!"

Wen Liang was a little surprised. Is it that simple? The US military provided weapons and ammunition, and we just escaped by ourselves?

Before Wen Liang could ask, Corporal Carl spoke first.

"Hello Will, I heard about your story. You have great leadership skills. I believe you will leave Manhattan smoothly!"

Wen Liang was also a little puzzled, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Corporal Carl... and this gun was borrowed from a young man, he... died outside."

Carl shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Will. We won't care about these things during this special period. I also understand your doubts. It's just that we are short of manpower now. The ground troops can't come in. It's useless to have weapons and supplies."

Looking at Jason nodding in agreement, Wen Liang had no intention of speaking again.

Corporal Carl said, "We are seriously short of transport personnel right now, and the civilians are all scared, few dare to resist with guns..." Carl's tone was a little angry and a little powerless when he said this, and finally he returned to calmness and said, "So, if you follow us and leave again, please protect the wounded... Of course, this is just a request, not a mission!"

What else could Wen Liang say? This kind of good thing only happens once in a century. Not only can they evacuate Manhattan, but they also have guns and supplies, and they don’t have to do other dangerous tasks. He immediately smiled and said, “Thank you, Commander Carl. We are very worried about our friends and don’t want to be separated from them. Oh, by the way, they are on the list of the next batch of evacuation teams. The doctor said so.”

"I know. Jason mentioned it to me. That's why I asked you to do this." Carl said, waving his hand and saying, "Come with me. Although our weapons are partially open to the public, you can't receive them without someone to lead you. Do you need to call on your companions?"

Wen Liang shook his head and said, "Don't bother. I'll take it back for them. Besides the four of us, the rest are girls. It's enough for them to have a pistol to protect themselves when necessary."

Hearing this, Corporal Carl paused and looked at Wen Liang, then nodded with a smile and said, "You are very good, come with me."
