Chapter 345

Rick turned his head and looked at them seriously before speaking in a cold voice.

"No, they are enemies. In our settlement, guns and fists will only be pointed at the enemies who have invaded our homes, and will never be pointed at our own companions. As long as they are recognized by us, we can guarantee that even if they die in battle due to an accident, their families will live safely. This is the original intention of establishing our ideal town!"

"That's right. Anyone who doesn't want to obey orders can leave on their own. We don't need such people in Ideal Town."

At some point, Lu Jiayi had come up to the group, holding a blood-stained machete. The murderous aura from him made them all take a few steps back at the same time.

"You can make your choice now. If you want to leave, we won't stop you. You can take all the things you brought with you. I can also find you a car and give you some weapons."

Several people glanced at the two people in front of them, and then looked at the Ideal Town soldiers who were still clearing out the zombies. Each of them held a machete and skillfully cooperated to chop the zombies to the ground.

Half a minute later, except for the two sturdy men who carried the luggage to the end, the rest of them lowered their heads and obediently got on the bus.

"Have you decided?"

Lu Jiayi didn't say anything nonsense, but just pointed at the cars following behind. Daryl understood and stepped forward to ask the driver to get out of the car, then called a few soldiers to help unload the luggage in the car, and then waved to the two men.

"You can drive this car, but there are two things you must remember. You only have this chance. If you leave, it means you have given up the chance to join us. Also, we are not a charity, so it is impossible for you to get guns. These two machetes are quite sharp. Take them and use them on the road."

The two soldiers threw their cold weapons over. The two men didn't say anything. They picked up the knives and got into the car silently.

Lu Jiayi walked to the window of their car, looked at the group of zombies chasing after them, then moved closer to the window and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"One last thing. Don't follow us. Since you have decided to leave, then fend for yourself. If I still see you after the convoy leaves, I will consider you a threat. Do you understand?"

How could the two men not know what he meant? Even though they secretly cursed the guy in front of them in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything openly. They just stared at Lu Jiayi with cold eyes.

Looking at these two guys who seemed to want to kill him with their eyes, Lu Jiayi smiled at them nonchalantly, then asked everyone to get in the car and leave.

The survivors of the Highland community had already boarded the car. Most of them leaned against the windows and watched the car carrying two people heading towards another road. These people had complicated looks, especially Telman. He could feel that the other party did this to establish their authority. Fortunately, these two people were not very well-behaved on weekdays, and their departure actually saved him some trouble.

The convoy came and went in a hurry. In less than a day, they had captured a base with more than 300 people. What they had to do now was to send these people back to the new base safely.

As for the two people who left, Telman guessed correctly that Lu Jiayi did it on purpose. Is there really a lack of space for luggage in so many buses? Of course not.

But at the very beginning, he had to establish an image of being a man of his word, and let these people know that they must be obedient to live in Ideal Town. As for whether anyone would feel uncomfortable, he was not worried about that.

As long as these people were placed in the base, the excellent living conditions, sufficient food reserves, and powerful armed forces would be enough to make them swallow their resentment and never spit it out for the rest of their lives.

Throughout the rest of the journey, Lu Jiayi was in a state of high alert. He couldn't be sure whether the previous tide of zombies was attracted by the people he found. If he encountered another tide of zombies on the way home, such a large convoy would have to be careful, otherwise the convoy would be dispersed.

Sometimes you have to bow to fate, or it's really like Murphy's Law says, if things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

Yes, it really happened.

Just when the convoy arrived in the southern suburbs of Atlanta, the accident happened.

The first person to notice something was wrong was not Lu Jiayi who had been on guard, but an armored vehicle in the middle of the convoy. Why?

Because it was already night, the visibility around was very low, and the convoy was too long. Just as the convoy drove out of the city, the trees around it gradually increased. The group of zombies emerged directly from the woods on the side. A large number of zombies fearlessly intercepted the convoy and directly surrounded an armored vehicle and a Hummer. The convoy at the rear was also stopped.

Most of the buses carrying the survivors had gone past, and only five vehicles were left. In addition to the surrounded car, there were two buses and an armored vehicle at the rear that was trapped at the back.

Glenn was in the last armored vehicle. He stopped the car immediately when he saw something was wrong. However, more and more zombies were pouring out from the side and were about to surround them. He had no choice but to ask the driver to reverse and force his way out of the encirclement. A bus in front of him reacted just as quickly and rushed out right after him.

The drivers of both cars were veterans. Even though they were reversing at night, both cars were steady and there were no accidents. However, they also reversed for a full two kilometers before stopping. At this time, the road ahead was already blocked by zombies.

Fortunately, Lu Jiayi also took this situation into consideration, so there is an old team member in each car. Now, in addition to Glenn in the last car, Morgan is in the other bus that ran out.

In the three trapped cars were Rick, Michonne, Ezekiel and Jerry.

At this time, among the three surrounded vehicles, only the bus could be heard constantly coming with the screams of women and the crying of children.

On the contrary, the armored vehicles and Hummers in the center of the zombie horde were unusually quiet, and even their engines were turned off.

Inside the Hummer, the soldiers tried to keep their voices down. Not all of them wore masks, and it was not realistic to abandon the vehicle and leave. Fortunately, the outside of the vehicle was armored, not just a layer of glass, which allowed them to move more calmly in the vehicle.

Rick sat in the passenger seat and looked at the situation outside through the gap. Densely packed hands were slapping on the car body, making a constant banging sound. The originally dark night was completely obscured, to the point where you could hardly see your hand in front of you.

"Where did this damn zombie tide come from?"

"You know, this scene reminds me of the time when Lu and I went to look for the tank. We were standing on the tank, surrounded by zombies."

All of them were veterans who had experienced many life and death situations. Faced with a situation that could scare a rookie to death, they just lay down on their seats and started chatting.

The soldiers in Ideal Town all seemed unusually calm, but the highland survivors on the bus were not so calm.
