The Walking Dead TWD

"They have guns, hide quickly!" the surrounding county police exclaimed.

"Put down the gun!"

Rick was held at gunpoint and did the exact opposite of what everyone else would do.

Not only was he not afraid at all, but he roared at the bandits.

After the initial panic, the county police quickly regained their composure.

Then they decisively chose to open fire, trying to seize the initiative.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

A series of fierce gunshots rang out, and bullets rained down on the bandits.

Unfortunately, however, this round of shooting failed to effectively kill the bandits.

The gangster recovered and fired back with his gun.

In the fierce exchange of fire, a bullet whizzed in and hit Rick's bulletproof vest directly.

The huge impact force was like a sledgehammer hitting Rick's chest.

Rick felt a sharp pain and his body fell backward involuntarily, falling heavily to the ground.

Sean was startled.

Then he raised his gun without hesitation and aimed at the gangster who hurt Rick.

The gangster was hit in the throat, half of his neck was smashed into pieces, and he died on the spot.

Just then, another gangster popped his head out from behind the car.

He used cover to fire, trying to turn the tide.

Sean was suppressed by the sudden and fierce firepower and had to retreat behind the shelter of the police car to seek cover.

Zhou Nan, who was behind Sean, felt the air above his head being torn apart and several bullets whizzing past.

Cold sweat continued to seep out of Zhou Nan's forehead.

"It's truly a free city."

Zhou Nan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

Rick over there was twisting his body in pain on the ground.

Fortunately, the gangster hiding behind the car was no match for the four.

Whenever the gangster turned his gun towards Sean on the left, the county police on the right would seize the opportunity and fight back fiercely.

When the gangster pointed his gun at the county police on the right, Sean on the left seized the opportunity and raised his gun to shoot.

This tactical understanding put the bandits in a dilemma.

Finally, a well-aimed bullet penetrated the gangster's heart and he died instantly!

Because the dispatch center only reported two gangsters.

So after seeing the two gangsters dead, everyone let down their guard.

Sean also ran quickly towards Rick.

In the end, Zhou Nan couldn't bear to let Rick get shot, so he shouted.

"Hey, officers."

"Be careful, I just saw someone else in the car!"

Sean heard Zhou Nan's warning, but he didn't take it seriously.

Could it be that Zhou Nan is more accurate than the dispatch center?

Sean's attention returned to Rick.

"Rick! Are you okay?"

Rick gasped for breath, then quickly responded.

"I'm fine! But I feel like my ribs are broken!"

After saying that, Rick sat up on his knees and checked his injuries.

Sean also helped Rick check his injuries.

"I saw you get hit by a bullet, thank God you're okay!"

Rick also recovered from the pain at this time.

"Can you believe it?"

"The bulletproof vest you put on me this morning saved my life!"

"You are truly my lucky star."

"But even if I wasn't shot, you can't tell Lori about this!"

"Absolutely not!"

As he spoke, Rick took off his bulletproof vest.

Zhou Nan had already seen the bandits over there stand up.

"Hide the fuck up!"

Zhou Nan watched helplessly as the gangster raised his gun and aimed it at Rick!

Rick is still talking to Sean.

"Look, man, the bullet hit me right in the heart. If I didn't have this bulletproof vest..."

"Boom."

Blood spurted out from Rick's left side and he fell to the ground.

"No!"

Sean yelled in despair.

Sean didn't care about his sadness and his reaction was extremely fast.

In just two seconds, he pulled out his gun and shot the gangster dead.

Sean then knelt on the ground and looked at the injured Rick.

"Rick, oh my god, Rick!"

"No, no, no, someone come quickly, Rick was shot and injured!"

Sean pulled off Rick's blood-stained police uniform and examined the wound.

“Holy shit!”

"Penetrating wound!"

Since bullets and fragments will move around after entering the human body, Sean didn't know for a moment whether there were any fragments remaining in Rick's body.

Even if there were fragments left, Sean had no idea where they were.

Maybe it entered the chest cavity, maybe it entered the chest and abdomen, or maybe it entered the heart.

Maybe Rick was fine one second and died of heavy bleeding the next.

Who knows?

You know, Sean and Rick were classmates in high school and college.

And they are still colleagues after work.

After spending a long time together, the two have developed a deep friendship!

"Damn, damn!"

Sean pressed Rick's wound and said tremblingly.

"Hey, man, look at me."

"You just need to stay awake, okay?"

"Promise me, stay awake, everything will be fine..."

Rick's eyes were a little blurry, and the massive blood loss caused him to go into shock and faint.

Zhou Nan was watching this scene from a distance, feeling emotional.

Rick and Sean had a very close relationship during this period.

But these two brothers really don't listen to advice, even though I have been reminding them for so long!

Soon afterwards, Rick was taken away by ambulance.

This hospital is the closest Harrison Memorial Hospital.

Sean noticed Zhou Nan who was staring at the ambulance.

"Were you reminding us just now?"

"I'm sorry I didn't take your words seriously."

"The injured man's name is Rick Grimes, and he's a very good man."

Zhou Nan nodded: "Yes, I can feel his kindness. After all, he let me hide behind the car when it was dangerous."

Sean nodded and fell silent.

He is now at a loss.

At this time, Sean didn't know how to explain to Lori, and just stared at the bloodstain on the ground.

After thinking for a while, Sean drove away in the Ford Crown Victoria police car he came in.

Zhou Nan clearly remembered that a great god once made a speculation.

Rick's coma will probably last about four to five weeks.

This length of time is inferred based on the length of Rick's beard, Morgan's mention that the water had been out for a month, and the state of decomposition of the body outside the hospital.

So Zhou Nan had to keep a close eye on Rick who was about to wake up during this period of time.

Zhou Nan was also very curious about how Rick survived for a month without anyone taking care of him.

I guess this is what most of the walking dead fans want to figure out.

A month also meant that Lori and Carl spent a month with Sean before Rick was able to reunite with them.

Zhou Nan currently doesn't want to interfere in the affairs between the three of them.

It’s not that Zhou Nan doesn’t want to change the life trajectories of the three of them.

Instead, Zhou Nan wanted to solve the problem fundamentally.

And Sean will later become the actual controller of Bellwood Quarry.

There is no way Zhou Nan can convince Sean without using some tricks.

And for Rick and Lori.

The only way to test their feelings is after they lose each other.

In this way, they can truly realize whether they have feelings for each other.

No one has the right to interfere with Rick and Lori's relationship, including Zhou Nan.

The most fair and just approach is to let them both realize their feelings for each other.

Another thing is that Judith is Zhou Nan’s favorite character.

If she couldn't give birth safely, Zhou Nan would be heartbroken.

This is a rather beastly idea.

But no matter what, Lori had to be given an injection by Sean.

And if Zhou Nan spoke nonsense to the two of them, he would definitely be beaten up by Xiao En...

Zhou Nan felt his scalp tingling when he thought about Sean's size.

Being beaten up by such a muscular man is definitely not a wise choice.

The county police here were still handling the scene. Zhou Nan lost interest after taking a look.

The top priority now should be to find a job for yourself and earn some money to prepare in advance.

But Zhou Nan didn't know that just after Zhou Nan left here, gunshots were heard again.

But this time it is no longer a battle between the living and the living, but a battle between the living and the dead.

In King County.

Being a homeless person and receiving relief was not what Zhou Nan wanted, so he decided to find a temporary job.

Zhou Nan didn't want to sleep on the streets, so he chose to live with drug addicts.

That is definitely a high-risk behavior.

Just one prick of a needle and it's all over!

In the United States, illegal immigrants face many challenges, including finding jobs and renting housing.

Fortunately, Zhou Nan found a suitable place in just half a day.

This is a Chinese restaurant, and the owner is a Dragon.

He wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and always looked kind.

Seeing that Zhou Nan was a Dragon with the same yellow skin and black eyes as himself, he felt great kindness towards him.

Zhou Nan only knew that his last name was Li and his English name was Samuel.

Boss Li assigned Zhou Nan a temporary waiter job.

They even found some landlords who were willing to accept Zhou Nan, an illegal resident, and let Zhou Nan choose by himself.

Zhou Nan also didn't know why Boss Li would go to such great lengths to help him.

Zhou Nan received the favor.

So he repeatedly reminded Boss Li, both explicitly and implicitly, that a disaster would occur soon and that he needed to stock up on food and other necessities.

But Boss Li didn't listen, and Zhou Nan had no good solution.

Fortunately, Boss Li runs a Chinese restaurant.

When the end of the world comes, these food reserves should be enough for Boss Li to squander for a while.

As of 2023, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour.

This standard has remained unchanged since 2009.

And this waiter job has very low wages.

If it doesn't exceed the tip, it's only 5 per hour.

But this is enough to solve Zhou Nan's accommodation and food problems.

"I'm probably the worst off among these time travelers."

"Everyone else is probably killing it at this time, and the girls are rushing into his arms one after another."

"And I can only choose to work as a waiter to solve my food and clothing problems?"

Zhou Nan smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

Because he did not find the golden finger that is standard for time travelers.

He has none of the golden fingers such as system, space, and superpowers!

The sky collapse begins!

Zhou Nan is really just an ordinary person!

Moreover, the clothes he wore when he traveled through time and space did not bring him any physical advantages.

Zhou Nan was numb!

Next, in this doomsday world, everything depends on your own efforts.

Zhou Nan planned to work as a waiter for two days to save up enough money.

This way he would have money to stock up on food and other necessities in advance.

This is also the best of my ability.

Try your best to ensure that you can live more comfortably and safely in the end times.
