Brian went into his parents’ room, opened the closet, and sure enough, there was a black box inside.
He wasn’t overly surprised; in fact, he had discovered this box just a few days after he had transmigrated here.
Every man has fantasized about touching a real gun, let alone him, who had never touched real Firearms before.
Therefore, whenever he returned home from school with nothing to do, he would look up videos on how to use Firearms on his computer.
Having assembled the pistol with ease, Brian knew that given the nature of US citizens legally owning guns and the current state of the infection outbreak, he would inevitably need to use it in the future.
Returning to his room, the light from the television illuminated the space; the content on the screen had long since changed to a news report.
At that moment, a female anchor was reporting from outside a quarantine fence, with a cluster of houses burning behind her.
“The incident we initially reported as a riot actually seems to be related to a nationwide epidemic.
We have received reports indicating that Infected patients are showing increasingly serious violent tendencies…” Just as the anchor was about to continue, a SWAT officer suddenly ran up behind her.
He shouted to the three SWAT officers standing inside the quarantine fence: “Tell everyone to evacuate here immediately!
There’s a gas leak!” As soon as the anchor heard this news, she immediately turned around to face the camera, wanting to report the information she had just received.
But before she could get a word out, the SWAT officer turned back, pointed at the camera, pulled open the quarantine fence, and ran toward the anchor, shouting: “Ma’am, leave that place immediately!” “Boom!” As soon as the SWAT officer finished speaking, the house behind him suddenly exploded violently.
A flash of white light appeared, the image on the TV was instantly cut off, and the entire screen turned to static.
Accompanied by the explosion from the TV, a deafening roar sounded outside the window at the same time, and crimson flames shot into the sky, briefly illuminating the dark night.
“Damn it!” Brian was shocked by everything that had just happened and involuntarily let out a curse.
Ever since he learned the infection was out of control, he had felt this plot was very familiar—it was exactly like what happened in doomsday movies and games.
He knew he seemed to have arrived in some incredible world.
“It can’t be that unlucky.” Without thinking further, he hurriedly took a backpack out of the closet.
brian rushed downstairs.
The sound of dogs barking came from outside constantly, and police cars whistled past the house from time to time, as if predicting that the disaster was about to break out completely.
Ignoring the events outside, he walked quickly to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
He found some canned food and vegetables stored inside and, without a second thought, stuffed them all into the backpack.
Afterward, he ran to the storage room.
A protective box hung on the wall, displaying a dagger; this was a collection of his cheap father, and he had heard it was very expensive.
Brian picked up the ashtray on the table, smashed the glass without hesitation, and took the dagger out.
In the apocalypse, the most important things were food and self-defense weapons.
“Awoo~.” Just at this moment, the constant barking of dogs outside the window stopped abruptly, and the barking immediately turned into miserable wailing.
“Hmm!” This scream immediately caught Brian’s attention.
He could feel that the sound was not too far from his house.
“It’s Sarah’s house!” Thinking of this, Brian couldn’t care about packing things anymore.
He shouldered the backpack full of food, grabbed the flashlight next to him with his left hand, gripped the pistol with his right hand, opened the sliding door of the courtyard, and rushed out.
Although he hadn’t spent much time with Sarah, they were acquaintances after all, and he felt it was necessary to go over and warn her.
“Cooper, stop right there!” “Bastard…
Thud.” As soon as he walked out the door and arrived at his own courtyard, Brian heard sounds coming from the backyard of Sarah’s house next door, followed by a dull thud, as if something had been hit.
“What’s going on?” Although he wasn’t sure what exactly had happened, Brian knew something must have gone wrong over there.
He stepped on the flowerbed and easily climbed over the low fence.
But the moment he landed, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Two wooden planks were broken on the other side of the fence.
Cooper, the neighbor next to Sarah, was pressing down on Joel, his eyes bloodshot, his mouth wide open, seemingly wanting to bite him.
Joel, who was pinned underneath, grabbed the other’s neck.
He had been extremely desperate after being pounced on, but brian’s sudden appearance gave him hope again.
He pushed upward with both hands and roared at Brian, who was still standing stunned in place: “He’s gone crazy.
Why are you just standing there?
Hurry and help me get him off!” “Oh…
okay…” Shouted at by Joel, Brian finally came back to his senses.
Although he was holding a pistol and a dagger, he had no experience in killing, so he didn’t dare to strike a lethal blow.
He had to pick up a flowerpot nearby and smash it onto Cooper’s head.
“Clang!” Soil and fragments scattered all over the ground.
This violent blow clearly dealt a significant hit to Cooper.
His momentum of pouncing and biting instantly decreased, and he hugged his head tightly with both hands, appearing extremely painful.
Seeing this scene, Joel, who was beneath him, grabbed the crowbar that had fallen next to him, swung it upward with force, and knocked Cooper to the ground.
He immediately stood up, stepped on the other’s chest, raised the crowbar, and aimed at the other’s head.
Once, twice, three times…
Fresh blood splattered onto Joel’s cheeks and clothes.
He seemed possessed, hitting back with the weapon continuously until the Infected Cooper stopped struggling.
Only then did he gradually stop, put down the crowbar in his hand, and stared blankly at the corpse, clearly unable to believe this was something he had done.
“Ugh…” Such a bloody scene impacted brian’s heart.
Even though he had seen many similar scenes in movies and games in the past, this still gave him a huge shock.
Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore, ran to a corner, and vomited violently.
“Ah—!” Just as one wave subsided, another rose.
While Joel was stunned in place and brian was vomiting in the corner, a hideous head suddenly poked out from the broken part of the fence.
It roared loudly, its body pushing in, trying to rush into the courtyard to bite the two.
But just as its body was halfway through, a protruding broken board underneath got stuck at its waist, making it impossible for it to enter for a while.
“Jimmy?” The sudden appearance of the Infected naturally attracted the attention of both.
They recognized the person before them at a glance; it was Jimmy, who lived with Cooper.
“Hurry, go into the house.” Joel was the first to react.
He called out to The Boy in the corner and then ran toward his own house.
Seeing Joel leave, brian didn’t dare to stay there anymore.
He followed closely behind him and entered the house in a few strides.
“Dad?” “Brian?” As soon as he entered the house, Brian heard someone call his name.
Looking toward the source of the sound, it was Sarah standing not far away, looking at them with a helpless expression.
After everyone came in, Joel slammed the glass door shut, walked quickly to the table by the door, took the box containing the pistol from the drawer, and quickly assembled the Firearms, while shouting to Brian on the side: “Take Sarah to the back, don’t go near the door.” “Dad, you’re scaring me a little.
What on earth is happening?” Sarah, who had never seen her father in such a nervous state, suddenly became nervous herself, and even her voice was trembling slightly.
“Sarah, we’re leaving here first.
I’ll explain to you later.” Looking at Sarah, who was a bit frightened, Brian really wanted to explain the ins and outs to her, but as soon as he thought of Jimmy, who was stuck on the fence, he understood that this place was not safe for long, so he walked to Sarah and prepared to take her toward the front door.
“Why…” “Thud!” “Thud!” Such a bizarre scene before her made Sarah feel truly panicked.
She had just wanted to ask brian what happened, but as soon as the words left her mouth, a violent impact suddenly came from the sliding door beside them and the front door behind them simultaneously.
If the figure of Jimmy appearing behind the sliding door was within brian’s expectations, then the sudden sound of impact behind them was completely unexpected.
This feeling of being caught in a pincer attack was very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Joel had already assembled the pistol and aimed it at Jimmy behind the sliding door, he also took a deep breath, stood in front of Sarah, and likewise raised his pistol to aim at the other point of impact, invisibly shielding the girl in the middle.
“Calm down!
Calm down!” Controlling his constantly trembling hands, Brian swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
As just a small office worker in his previous life, where had he ever experienced such a thing?
But he also understood that in a disaster, if one lacked courage and guts, it was extremely difficult to survive, so even if he was terrified in his heart, he had to overcome it.
“Ah—!” What was meant to come would eventually come.
Accompanied by the sound of glass shattering behind him, the front door in front of him was also violently kicked open.
The Infected with bloodshot eyes entered the room.
It let out a piercing scream and then pounced toward the prey in front of it.
Looking at the terrifying face of the Infected that was getting closer, for some reason, Brian felt the initial fear vanish.
He felt a strange Energy surge into his body.
His pupils contracted sharply, and his trembling body instantly returned to his control.
He quickly raised the pistol, the pitch-black muzzle aimed at the head of the Infected in front of him, and he let out a roar.
“Die!” “Bang!”
