Endless Road of Corpse - C56
“They’re coming …” A woman’s voice said from outside the door. Her voice was trembling and she sounded extremely terrified.
“Shh …” Don’t make a sound, they won’t be able to find us. ” The man comforted her softly, but his voice was weak. Apparently, he was not optimistic about her words.
The three of them shivered as they stuck close to our door, causing the entire metal door to slightly shake.
I was anxious, thinking that if this went on, it would be better to let them in. At least the three of them didn’t look too threatening.
Thus, I gestured to San Mao to open the door. San Mao had been with me for many years after all, so he quickly understood what I meant after being stunned for a while. The two of us held onto the iron door handles on both sides.
The three people behind the door were caught off guard and immediately fell inside. The two women were so frightened that they repeatedly cried out, and Lv and Monkey immediately went up and covered the two OP’s neck with their hands.
San Mao and I quickly closed the door, and then we pointed our spears at the three of them.
“Don’t move! Do not make a sound! ” San Mao shouted.
The man was still sitting on the ground, as if something had happened so suddenly that he couldn’t make sense of the situation. He just looked at us blankly. At the start, the two women were still struggling in Lv and Monkey’s embrace, but their mouths were already covered. They could only whimper, but now that San Mao and I had pointed our black muzzles at them, they immediately stopped.
“Let’s go inside!” As the sound of the motorbike’s engine grew closer, I couldn’t explain anything to them. I had to get them out of here so that no one outside would hear anything. Then, he gestured to the middle aged man to follow him in. This time, Yang Yufan also noticed that something was wrong and ran over, so I threw the gun to him and told him to bring the three in. San Mao and I will stay at the door to observe the situation.
A moment later, four SUVs roared into view. At first, I thought that the ones chasing these three people were from the motorcycle gang, but when I got closer, I realized that there were four people wearing black combat suits, helmets and even a spear on their back, as if they were from a Hollywood blockbuster. I was surprised to find that the bikers didn’t have such good equipment, not to mention that most of their bikes had been scrapped because of lack of maintenance and there were no more than four of them in order.
I gave the observation hole to San Mao, who turned pale with fright when he saw it. “Where the f * ck did this come from?”
In the blink of an eye, the motorcycles arrived in front of our doors. I squeezed past San Mao and looked through the observation hole to see four beautiful off-road motorcycles flying towards us. Behind each of them was a black and white long dragon that was mixed with melted snow and mixed with mud.
“Hurry up, hurry up …” San Mao continuously whispered in my ears, and I also secretly prayed in my heart. I prayed that the snow outside had almost melted completely, and there were no traces of the three people coming in. I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the fourth car slowed down, and I heard the driver shout a few words to his friend in front of me. The first three cars also stopped, and then the four motorcycles turned 180 degrees and came back!
All four cars stopped at our door, and all four riders got out and took off their helmets. I saw that although these four people weren’t as clean as the last three, they weren’t as dirty as us. They were also strong, and their eyes weren’t as blank, desperate or crazy as most of the people of this era. They were filled with the determination to know exactly what they were going to do. With just a glance, I know that we can’t afford to offend these people!
All four men held their rifles in their hands, all of them AK rifles, because I was not a military fan, nor could I tell if I was a replica or an 81. Three of the four quickly picked three shooting points that could cover each other, making them look very well-trained and well-coordinated. The other one was rummaging through the pile of debris, inspecting it carefully.
At this time, I no longer dared to look at the observation hole, afraid that they would see through it. I could only lean against the door with San Mao, not even daring to breathe.
It was as if the gods had heard my prayers, and just when I thought that exposure was inevitable, the roar of an engine came from the distance, followed by a few shouts from the people outside. One of them shouted,
“Chase!” “Quickly chase!”
I put my eye to the observation hole and saw that the four men were racing to their motorcycles from their positions, swinging their guns behind their backs, stepping on the engine, and speeding away!
I watched them through the observation hole until they were out of sight, and then I breathed a sigh of relief when I couldn’t hear the engine. I looked at San Mao and saw that he was continuously wiping away the sweat on his forehead. Only then did I realise that in this freezing, melting snow, I was actually covered in cold sweat.
“Where the hell did these people come from? It looks like it’s even more awesome than Ghost Market! ” San Mao gasped for breath and said.
“Who knows!” I shrugged. “Go ask those three!”
When San Mao and I returned to the house, we saw three people crowded together on the bench that the monkey had knocked on with a piece of white iron, while the rest were gathered around. When the three saw us enter, they were obviously shocked, especially the two girls who were shivering while hugging their arms tightly, like injured fawn. When they saw us, they became even more panic-stricken, and only glanced at us for a moment before lowering their heads, not daring to look anymore, like a hedgehog that had been threatened. Behind the middle-aged man was still the cylinder. Now I could see clearly that it was a painting container used to store soft objects like drawings or paintings, and what he was hugging to his chest was a box half a foot square, like a jewel, antique, or inferior crystal trophy.
“Lv, watch the door.” I said to Lv.
Lv nodded, then turned and walked out.
“I say, who are you people?” I asked the three of them, raising my chin.
The two girls lowered their heads even more. I had no doubt that their greatest wish at this moment was to become a marmot so that they could dig a hole and quickly enter.
The man, too, looked at me through a pair of black-rimmed glasses as if I’d seen a ghost. He opened his mouth a few times, as if to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
