Chapter 140 An Unexpected Incident: The Green Family Farm (Part 4)
In the woods...
Daryl looked up at the sky, then turned to the others and said, "It's getting dark soon, I think we should leave."
"Let's go back."
Upon hearing this, Lori immediately nodded in agreement.
Ever since hearing that sudden gunshot, an inexplicable unease had been weighing on her mind. All she wanted was to get back to the highway as quickly as possible to make sure her husband and son had returned safely.
"..."
The others naturally had no objections and tacitly followed in the footsteps of the two without saying anything extra.
...Twenty minutes later.
"Mom, how much further?"
Sofia's childish voice broke the silence. The little girl had been running around with the adults all day, and her small body was exhausted. Her voice was also full of weariness.
"Baby, it's not far now."
Carol gently patted her daughter's head, a tender smile playing on her lips, and coaxed her softly, "Just hang in there a little longer, and we'll have delicious mushroom soup tonight."
"..."
Daryl overheard the mother and daughter's conversation, turned around, winked at Sofia, and said half-jokingly, "If you fly like a crow, you'll be there in about a hundred yards."
"Unfortunately, we are not crows."
Andrea's disdainful voice suddenly rang out, breaking the already tense atmosphere.
The group instantly lost interest in continuing the conversation and continued their journey in silence.
"..."
Amy glanced at her sister's retreating figure, opened her mouth to speak but ultimately gave up, thinking she would have a proper talk with her sister when she got back.
"..."
Andrea was in a terrible mood. The thought of Sean's arrogant and disdainful face when he rejected her made her tremble with anger, and she had nowhere to vent her resentment.
Frustrated, she brandished her dagger, cutting through the spiderwebs blocking her path, completely unaware that she had strayed far from the group's route. Her attention was entirely drawn to the rotting logs beneath her feet, and she muttered to herself as she carefully stepped over the obstacles:
"Fly like a crow, bullshit..."
......
"Ho...ho..."
Suddenly, a low growl came from behind the trees beside her.
"..."
Andrea instinctively turned her head and saw a male black zombie lunging at her, its claws outstretched. Its grotesque appearance instantly turned her face deathly pale, and a terrified scream escaped her lips: "...Ah...ah..."
However, the walker had already pounced on her. Andrea instinctively swung her tactical knife, and in the chaos, the knife pierced the walker's chest.
But to her surprise, the attack caused no real damage to the zombie in front of her. Instead, the dagger became stuck between the zombie's sternum, and she couldn't pull it out no matter what she did. Andrea had no choice but to abandon her weapon and scream as she retreated...
"Andrea!!!"
Amy heard her sister's scream and turned to look, only to see the walker almost entangled with her sister.
At that moment, her fear vanished instantly. She shouted her sister's name and rushed over without a second thought.
"Shet..."
Daryl cursed under his breath and immediately gave chase, with the others following closely behind.
However, because Andrea had strayed too far from the designated route, the group was unable to reach her in time to provide assistance.
"Ah...ah..."
Having lost her weapon, Andrea's fear intensified. In her panic, she stumbled backward and tripped over a piece of rotten wood on the ground.
She tried to get up from the ground, but it was too late; the zombie's foul-smelling body was already inches away.
"No, no...no..."
Andrea's mind went blank. She screamed in terror and kicked the zombie in front of her...
Tap tap... Tap tap...
Just at this critical moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman riding a horse galloping towards them like a black lightning bolt. She was agile and swung her baseball bat in a wide arc, smashing it hard into the zombie's head with an indomitable momentum.
puff……
A dull thud was heard, and the zombie's head was instantly smashed open, its body falling straight to the ground.
"..."
Andrea was still slumped on the ground, her face showing signs of shock.
Everyone was so shocked by the scene that they were speechless for a moment.
"..."
Glenn stared at her with wide eyes, as if he were frozen in place.
"Andrea..."
Amy was the first to come to her senses. She ran quickly to her sister's side and checked her for injuries with trembling hands.
Tap tap... Tap tap...
The woman on horseback was Maggie. She held the reins firmly and brought the horse to a stop in front of everyone.
Are you Lori?
Maggie's gaze swept quickly across the crowd, finally settling on Lori. Based on Rick's previous description, she confirmed again, "Are you Lori Grimes?"
"..."
Lori looked at the unfamiliar woman on horseback with a puzzled expression, confirming that she had never seen her before, but still nodded and replied, "I am Lori."
Rick sent me...
Maggie's tone was anxious, and she added, "You have to come with me right now."
"what?"
Lori looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.
"Something went wrong, little Karl was shot..."
Maggie briefly explained the situation, and seeing Lori's face turn deathly pale, she quickly added, "He's still alive, but you have to come with me right now."
"..."
Upon hearing the news, everyone was speechless with shock, their faces filled with astonishment and worry.
"..."
Seeing Lori still standing there in disbelief, Maggie could only urge her anxiously again, "Rick needs you, come quickly!"
"..."
Lori then came to her senses, hurriedly dropped her backpack, and tried to follow Maggie.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
Daryl quickly stepped forward to stop him, advising with a serious expression, "We don't know this girl, you can't just get on her horse like that."
However, Lori was too anxious to listen to Daryl's words. She hurriedly mounted her horse and sat behind Maggie.
Maggie didn't immediately spur her horse away. Instead, she turned to the group and quickly asked, "Rick said you have some companions on the highway, in that huge traffic jam, right?"
"Yes."
Glenn answered somewhat absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on the woman in front of him.
Maggie noticed Glenn's gaze, turned to him, and quickly instructed, "Go back to Fairburn Road, and walk two miles to our farm. You'll see a mailbox with Glenn's name on it."
"drive!"
After Maggie finished speaking, she spurred her horse, turned it around, and galloped away into the distance with Lori on her back...
