Chapter 19 The Siege of Atlanta
Da da da......
The infected on the street were also alarmed; they instantly became agitated and turned to face the direction from which the gunfire was coming.
In a moment of panic, Glenn and his companion immediately lay down on the ground, their hearts pounding. They both looked anxiously at the infected.
Fortunately, at this moment, all the infected people on the street were temporarily distracted by the sound of gunfire and had not yet noticed the two living people lying not far away.
Glenn turned his head and saw the car they were using for cover right next to him. He swallowed hard, then slowly moved his body and successfully crawled under the car.
After letting out a slight sigh of relief, Glenn looked at T-boy, turned his body to make room for him, and waved to him, signaling him to come in quickly.
T-boy tried to move over like Glenn, but because he was too fat, he couldn't fit under the car.
Just as T-boy was looking around in bewilderment, sweating profusely, he happened to see a huge pile of garbage dumped on the side of the road in front of the car, with black garbage bags piled up high.
At this point, the agitated infected began to move towards the sound of gunfire.
Give it a shot...
T-boy gritted his teeth, stuck out his buttocks, and crawled towards the garbage heap. Ignoring the sour and rotten smell emanating from the garbage heap, he buried himself in the garbage and used the garbage bags to cover himself.
Sure enough, the infected people passing by didn't notice the living people nearby, which reassured the two who were hiding.
.......
After all the infected people had gone far away, they waited patiently for a while longer and did not rush to come out.
Only after confirming that it was truly safe did Glenn climb out from under the car first.
“T-boy…”
Glenn walked over, looking around to see if any infected people had been missed, and whispered something towards the garbage heap.
The garbage bag was then rummaged through, and empty bottles and cans rolled off with a clatter.
Then T-boy emerged from inside, spitting repeatedly as he cleaned the trash clinging to his body.
"Ugh...it smells really strong..."
Glenn pinched his nose, looking disgusted.
"At least he's still alive..."
T-boy didn't care. It might stink a little, but it was better than being eaten alive by those monsters.
After cleaning himself off, he urged Glenn to leave:
"Let's go, let's get out of here first."
"and many more."
Glenn suddenly grabbed T-boy, who was about to continue running away, and said to him:
"That commotion just now sounded like the army clearing out the streets. We should seek their help."
"Come on, a Black man and an Asian man? What are you thinking?"
T suddenly felt that Glenn was out of his mind, and he looked at Glenn like he was an idiot.
As an African American, he naturally harbored distrust towards the US government.
“If we keep running around in the streets like this, something bad will happen sooner or later. I’m going to try it.”
Glenn, however, remained adamant.
In his view, their aimless wandering in the streets was no different from courting death.
"Crab...you'll get us killed."
When T saw that Glenn had actually turned and run towards the guns, he hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him while complaining.
"Hey, wait for me..."
......
Da da da....
Da da da......
Glenn and T-boy trailed far behind the infected as they approached the intersection, where they hid on the street corner to observe the situation.
Sure enough, they saw a team of about several dozen soldiers who had set up a temporary position at the intersection diagonally opposite them and were clearing out infected people from the defensive line.
The soldiers unleashed a relentless barrage of bullets, and infected people fell one after another on the streets.
Just as Glenn and his men were waiting for the soldiers to finish clearing the street, and seeing the number of infected people slowly decreasing and the battle about to end,
Suddenly, several citizens ran out from another intersection, also drawn by the sound of gunfire.
What's different is that these people are followed by a huge group of infected people, far more than the infected people on the street just now. They are a dense, overlapping mass, like waves and tides.
Glenn and T-boy felt their legs go weak at the sight and didn't have the courage to run out after them.
As soon as those men rushed out of the intersection and saw the soldiers' positions over there, they ran towards them without hesitation.
They kept shouting for help, begging us to help them.
The infected followed them, surging towards the soldiers' positions like a tidal wave.
......
"Turn around, turn around, don't come any closer..."
Soldiers waved their arms and shouted warnings.
But the group did not stop; they continued running forward with all their might.
They saw the soldiers' positions ahead as their only hope for survival and paid no attention to the soldiers' shouts.
Da da da......
The soldiers opened fire on them without hesitation, and the men fell one after another into pools of blood, dying without understanding why.
This scene terrified Glenn and T-boy, who hid in the street corner, too afraid to even breathe.
The soldiers' firepower did not falter because of their killing of civilians; instead, they continued to unleash it on the pursuing infected.
But the number of infected people was so large that they kept coming in like a tidal wave, quickly filling the streets.
Da da da...
Boom.......
Da da da da da...
"Retreat, retreat..."
"Retreat! This street is completely overrun..."
The soldiers were quickly overwhelmed by wave after wave of infected soldiers, and seeing that the situation was hopeless, the officer shouted and gave the order to retreat.
Faced with an endless stream of infected, the soldiers' spirits were already stretched to the limit. As soon as the order to retreat was given, the soldiers' fighting will completely collapsed.
All the soldiers rushed to retreat, fearing that if they were a step behind, they would become food for the infected.
The defensive line collapsed almost instantly, and the infected broke into the soldiers' positions at the same time, with soldiers being pounced on and bitten one after another by the infected.
Soon, those dozens of soldiers were completely overwhelmed by the wave of infected.
......
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Seeing this, T urged the terrified Glenn to leave.
Glenn nodded and followed T-boy away in another direction.
Because the nearby infected people were attracted away by the gunshots, there are no infected people in the surrounding streets now, which has opened up an escape route for them.
The two ran for three blocks in one go. When they ran through another intersection, Glenn, who was running ahead, was almost hit by a car because of his fast pace.
squeak......
The car braked suddenly and stopped in front of them, swerving just in time to avoid Glenn's body, giving him a fright.
"Help, please..."
Seeing that Glenn was alright, T-boy quickly went over and banged on the car window for help.
