The Walking Dead TWD
Chapter 87 Jealousy
In front of the CDC on the edge of the city, the army's defense line was set up. The soldiers here held their weapons nervously, and fear was revealed in their eyes.
Their superiors are issuing orders one by one, with the aim of protecting the CDC.
Because this is the hope of all mankind!
Even though this commander was dissatisfied with Candice, he still knew what was important and what was not when it came to the greater good of humanity.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Candice hurriedly retreated to the CDC. She did not know how to fight, and staying in the position would only be a burden to others.
A group of dark shadows appeared on the horizon, approaching the army's defense line.
This is a bunch of damn zombies!
Their eyes were hollow and lifeless, their skin was as pale as paper, some zombies had dried blood at the corners of their mouths, and they made creepy roars.
As the zombie horde approached, the soldiers' heartbeats accelerated. They all knew that zombies did not feel pain or fear, and would not die unless they were shot in the head!
There are hundreds or even thousands of these difficult zombies here. In short, they are endless and densely packed.
This is simply a paradise for people with trypophobia, the kind that makes you want to be transported there in a matter of minutes!
Zhou Nan turned off the car and, after observing the situation, quickly instructed everyone: "The zombies are about to arrive here. Everyone, lie on the ground and don't make any noise!"
"They're just passing through. Just wait. As long as you don't make any noise, you won't be trapped for long. Don't panic!"
Everyone was very efficient and capable of execution, and they immediately lay on the ground.
Zhou Nan encouraged everyone, and then Zhou Nan noticed that Duan's condition was not good. His eyes were terrified, and he kept gasping for air, seeming to be very scared.
"Duane, don't panic, I promise nothing will go wrong!"
His mother Jenny was also afraid that Duan would cause trouble, so she covered Duan's mouth tightly.
"Shh, don't make any noise!"
"Calm down, okay?"
On the other side, the two children, Billy and Jimmy, held their heads obediently and looked very calm.
This is because they had experienced being trapped in a car before. Although they were also scared at this moment, they were obviously much better than Duan.
Zhou Nan looked at Jenny with some worry. He was a little afraid that Duan would make things difficult for him, just like Sophia in the play.
Jenny also understood what Zhou Nan meant. She nodded at Zhou Nan, indicating that Zhou Nan should not worry, as she had Duan under control.
Well, Duane's mom is tough.
Zhou Nan made a "hush" gesture to everyone again and then lay down.
Not long after Zhou Nan lay down, they felt the car being hit by zombies, and the car made a dull thud.
Slowly, the sound gradually became denser from sparse.
If Zhou Nan and the others had a God's perspective, they would be able to find that they were currently in the center of this endless swarm of zombies!
"Da da da da da da..."
As the zombies came into range, the army's machine gunners began firing, and bullets rained down on the zombie horde.
Some zombies had their limbs shattered after being hit by bullets, and their bodies lost balance and fell to the ground due to the impact.
But even so, the fallen zombie was still crawling forward!
More zombies stepped on its body, making it unable to move at all. All of them were moving forward.
Explosions rang out one after another, and howitzers and rockets continued to explode among the zombies.
In the fire and smoke, the zombies' bodies were torn to pieces, but the noise attracted more zombies.
It's a vicious cycle, and it's only a temporary reprieve.
The zombie horde was constantly replenishing, and their numbers seemed endless. They surged in like a tide, constantly hitting the soldiers' defense line.
They are indeed vulnerable to thermal weapons, but their numbers are large enough!
The soldiers also began to retreat as they approached.
“Don’t retreat!”
"Hold them!"
The commander was still shouting, but his voice seemed so insignificant amid the roars of the zombies.
As time went on, the soldiers' ammunition became difficult to supply. After the magazines were used up, there was no time to reload bullets. When the shells were used up, they could only retreat!
However, the zombies' offensive became more and more fierce. As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the morale of these soldiers began to collapse.
Panic spread among the army like a virus, cracks began to appear in the once solid defense line, and they began to shoot aimlessly.
"hold onto!"
Although their commander realized that the battle was irreversible, he still tried to stabilize the situation.
Soon, a zombie knocked him down, and then more and more zombies overwhelmed him.
When the soldiers saw that their leader was in danger, they began to flee in all directions and the front line completely collapsed!
No matter how fast they are, they cannot escape from the overwhelming swarm of zombies!
The soldiers, driven by fear, were soon surrounded by zombies, their screams drowned out by the zombies' roars.
Flames flickered on the battlefield. Some soldiers tried to use their last grenades and incendiary bombs to stop the zombies' attack, but these were just their last ditch efforts.
In the explosion, the zombies' bodies were blown into pieces, but more zombies rushed out from the flames, and they were not afraid of the flames at all.
Seeing that the situation was not good, some soldiers got into their cars and drove while honking their horns, trying to lure away the horn.
Fortunately, they succeeded, and the zombies really deviated from their original trajectory!
Candice was in the CDC. She looked at the soldiers fleeing with a trace of pity in her eyes, but she really couldn't help. The rules were like this and she was powerless!
Some soldiers fled to the door of the CDC. Some of them were banging on the door, and some were begging the people inside to let them in.
"Please let me in. Don't be so cruel. We have helped you so much before!"
"Are you just going to watch us get torn to pieces by zombies?"
"Please!"
The plea for mercy was so miserable that some researchers could not stand the soldiers' pleading and looked at Dr. Candice.
"The zombie horde is far away from here. Soldiers have driven them to the other side. We have the ability and time to open the door and let these people in!"
"Open the door, Dr. Candice, please!"
"Yeah, they look so pitiful!"
Candice's expression of reluctance gradually returned to its cold state. She looked at the group of researchers expressionlessly and spoke in a cold voice.
"Can you ensure they're alright? Do you know if they've been bitten? What if these soldiers refuse to cooperate with the blood tests? You can't even hold your gun steady, who's going to be held responsible if something goes wrong?"
Candice's tone slowed down a bit: "Nothing can be lost here. You know what this place means to all mankind!"
"Because of these few soldiers, the hope of all mankind is at stake. Sorry, I can't do this. I can't take even a single risk!"
Candice's husband Edwin nodded in agreement.
"I support Candice, not because I'm her husband, but for the greater good."
"We have put in so much effort and sacrificed so many lives. We cannot afford any failure!"
"Besides, the door cannot be opened in a critical moment. This is also the rule established by the organization!"
A researcher said indignantly: "You two are so cold-blooded!"
A researcher named Bart also took the opportunity to stir up trouble: "Those zombies are clearly still far away, and their deaths are inextricably linked to you two!"
Candice remained indifferent to his accusations. "Whatever you think, I won't open this door!"
The others were outraged by what Bart had done and began to blame Edwin and Dr. Candice.
"How can you be so cold-blooded? It's ok that you act like a business person at other times, but you act like this at this critical moment when human lives are at stake!"
Artificial intelligence Vi also warned: "Based on the current situation, opening the door is not a wise decision."
"Shut up, Wei!" The researcher named Bart was very dissatisfied when he saw these people besieging Candice in a lukewarm manner. This time he decided to take action himself, so he suddenly shouted. He had been patient with Candice for a long time!
"Wei, open the door quickly!"
The AI Wei replied in a cold female voice: "I don't have the permission, and neither do you. It can only be unlocked with Candice's fingerprint!"
The researcher who was choked by Wei was extremely angry. Perhaps because of jealousy, or perhaps because of something else, he actually pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Candice!
"Candice, can you open the door?"
"Follow my orders, or I'll shoot you dead, and all of humanity will perish!"
Wei spoke faster and tried to dissuade him in time: "Researcher Bart, please calm down. Dr. Candice is currently the most promising person to develop a vaccine. Killing her will not bring you any benefits."
Bart was furious: "That would be great! After I kill her, it will make me feel happy!"
"Wei, you know nothing about us!"
"You can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be for a woman to be on your head for so long!"
Bart is really unlucky. He and Candice have been classmates since middle school. From then until he started working, he was overshadowed by Candice's dazzling brilliance.
She was a supporting role in school and an assistant after work. He was completely bored and now he just wanted Candice to compromise.
And he also wanted Candice to admit with her own mouth that she was not as strong as him!
Candice is the chief scientist here and is an absolute genius in her field, especially in disease control and research.
She was even described by her husband Edwin as an "Einstein" level figure.
Although some people felt that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, others believed Edwin's words without a doubt, which showed that Candice was indeed capable.
It would be strange if Bart could suppress such a person!
There is something wrong with Bart's mentality. He doesn't know where he stands, but at the same time he has high aspirations. In the eyes of others, he is a pathetic clown who makes people laugh.
However, the current situation is a little special, this clown has a gun in his hand!
"Open the door for me, and all of you, from now on, obey my orders, or I will really kill this damn bitch!"
Bart pointed a gun at Candice and threatened everyone.
Under pressure, Wei had to obey Bart's words. After all, in his program, Candice was the most important person.
When the group of soldiers came in, they were so grateful to Bart that he was completely overwhelmed.
Bart looked at Candice coldly: "Do you see? Without your cover, I will be loved."
"So, all my misfortunes are your fault, Candice. Go to hell!"
"It happened!"
When Bart was halfway through his words, Edwin had already sensed something was wrong. He rushed towards Candice, trying to use his body to block the bullet for her.
But he was a step too slow.
With a gunshot, a flower of blood appeared on Candice's abdomen.
She was shot!
Before the apocalypse, being shot was a very troublesome matter, let alone the current situation.
This means that in today's harsh environment, Candice was sentenced to death the moment she was shot!
