Chapter 188 Ava
Chapter 188 Ava
Wen Liang fixed the tools on his body, pulled the steel cable, and found that it was fixed very firmly, so he climbed up the steel cable swiftly and climbed up from the bottom!
It's more than 30 meters from the top floor of Walmart supermarket to here. I don't know why there is a steel cable connecting it, and it looks very strong.
Wen Liang climbed up the steel cable to mid-air. The cable, which originally felt very solid, swayed more and more violently in the breeze.
Wen Liang was not afraid of this height, but he suddenly felt a little regretful and wondered if he was a little too reckless.
However, the battle was already halfway through, and if he retreated now, the other side would also be able to see him. If he really had any bad intentions, retreating would be more likely to provoke the other side to open fire on him.
Giving up on turning back, Wen Liang continued to climb up, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, until Wen Liang climbed to the end of the cable, what greeted him was...
It turned out to be a foreign girl!!
"Are you okay?" The girl enthusiastically reached out her hand and pulled Wen Liang up. Although she had little strength in her hands, Wen Liang did not refuse her kindness.
"I can tell that the voice on the intercom is you?" Wen Liang said.
"Yes, thank you so much for coming!" It can be seen that the girl was very excited. "Before, some people who looked like soldiers passed by and ignored us. I thought we would all die here..."
"You, where are the others?" Wen Liang only saw the girl in front of him, there was no one else on the rooftop.
"There is another one. She is injured. I asked her to stay up there because I was afraid that zombies would rush up..."
Hearing the girl's chatter, Wen Liang asked in confusion, "Aren't all the zombies blocked outside? Why are you still on the rooftop... From your tone, it seems like she's going to be somewhere higher?"
The girl nodded and said in a very uneasy tone, "You are right, most of the zombies are outside, but there are some inside as well. We don't know if they were originally here."
"Are there a lot of them?"
The girl immediately shook her head and said, "I didn't see it clearly. We were so scared that we ran upstairs in one breath and never came back down..."
"..." Wen Liang was helpless, but this was also a normal reaction, "What's your name?"
"You can call me Ava! What about you?" Ava looked carefree. Although she seemed worried that the zombies would rush up to her the previous second, she became lively again when she didn't mention holding the things.
"Ava... sounds like a Russian name. My name is Will."
"Oh, you heard it. I have Russian ancestry and my mother is Russian!" Ava smiled happily.
Suddenly, a "gurgling" sound was heard. Wen Liang looked at Ava in confusion, "I don't think it was thunder? Are you hungry?"
Ava's face immediately turned red when she heard this, "If you have something to eat, can you..."
Wen Liang smiled and shook his head. He reached out to take off his backpack, opened it, took out bread, chocolate, biscuits, and candies from it, and handed them all to Ava.
"Wow, so many things?!" Ava took it happily and couldn't wait to open the package and eat it. She wolfed it down like a starving ghost.
Soon Ava was choked, her eyes widened, but she was still reluctant to spit out the food in her mouth.
Wen Liang handed over a bottle of milk, and watching Ava gulp down half the bottle in one breath, he said, "How long have you not eaten? How come you are so hungry?"
"It's been almost two days! Mmm... delicious~"
Wen Liang said as he walked, "You almost starved to death while working for Walmart, the world's largest retail store...you are this!" Wen Liang jokingly gave a thumbs up.
Ava didn't care at all and said vaguely, "What can we do? We have run out of ammunition for our weapons. Forget about finding food. If we open the door on the rooftop, we might die!"
Soon the two came to a satellite signal tower in the center of the rooftop. The base was a concrete platform with a simple tool shed on it.
"Then why don't you go out to find food? It's the route I just came from. Once you go down, just run boldly. The zombies will not threaten you." Wen Liang asked again. After all, he came here very easily this time.
Apart from the crisis of trust, zombies are not a threat at all, and it is not difficult for ordinary people to achieve this.
Ava shook her head and said, "Did you see that body, the one with the intercom?"
"Of course, it's still fresh...your companion?"
"Yeah, yesterday he tried to find a way out and cleared the zombies on the roof of the opposite building, and then when he went down, he was attacked by zombies!" Ava said in a slightly low voice, but not too sad.
In the few weeks since the apocalyptic virus outbreak, she has witnessed too many deaths. Clinging to the dead is not conducive to her own survival. This is the experience she has summed up from living for a long time!
"The streets weren't so clean before. They gathered in front of Walmart, but there were more zombies on the surrounding streets. Later, in order to cover the dead guy, we opened fire here and almost attracted all the zombies around, but in the end..."
Ava shook her head, tears were about to come out, but she immediately touched her head twice and tried to cheer herself up, "I really don't know if it's right or wrong to call you here, but I'm sorry, you're already here, although it's selfish, but we really want to survive... I'm sorry!"
Seeing that he really looked apologetic, Wen Liang was surprised, "Looking at the way you said sorry, I kind of believe that you have Russian ancestry!"
"?"
"Don't waste time. Where is your companion? I think she is hungry too?" Wen Liang reminded.
"Oh, I almost forgot. I should wake her up..." Ava did not climb onto the concrete platform, but called out the other person's name twice from below, "Christina! Tina?"
Seeing Wen Liang looking at her, Ava explained, "Ever since she was injured, she asked me to push her onto the stage, and only let me call her every few hours, and wouldn't let me go up to see..."
"She doesn't let you go up? She was bitten?" Wen Liang asked.
"No, I'm sure she wasn't bitten. She just tripped over a zombie corpse while running up here and sprained her foot!"
Seeing no response from above, Wen Liang said, "Wait here, I'll go up and take a look. There are more ways to mutate into a zombie than just being bitten..."
Ava nodded nervously, looked at Wen Liang, and called out to her companion softly, "Tina..."
Wen Liang stretched out his hand and touched the two-meter-high concrete platform. With a little effort, he lifted his body and reached the top.
After arriving at the iron gate, Wen Liang could already hear a slight "ho ho" sound from inside, and he immediately understood what was going on!
The iron door was not locked and opened easily. Wen Liang looked inside and paused for a moment. He saw a female zombie inside, with her hands and feet tied up with ropes. Not only that, her mouth was also wrapped with a cloth strip...
No wonder there was almost no sound from the zombies. It was only after Wen Liang approached that the zombies inside smelled the scent and started struggling!
