Chapter 350 Unknown Clues, Chaotic Situation
"Your in-laws' house?"
After hearing Johnny's opinion, Abel took out another cigarette, lit it, and asked a question.
"How far is it from here? If it's too far, I don't think your loved one could safely escape there alone."
At this point, Abel glanced at Johnny with concern.
Over the past few days, he hadn't dared to talk much about Johnny's lover, after all, he knew Johnny cared too much about that.
Although Abel had only known Johnny and Anglu for a short time, he still cherished them.
Finding two suitable companions in the apocalypse is no easy task, especially considering that he is a French aristocrat at heart. There are very few good friends who can satisfy him or even share similar values.
Abel didn't want to upset Johnny at this time.
However, Johnny didn't seem to mind too much.
Because all his emotions had already been vented in his search just now.
That's their family's lobster restaurant; their home is in the backyard.
There are photos of their life there, their son's toys from when he was little, and Johnny's favorite game console.
But now—
Johnny gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said to Ayuan.
"My father-in-law's house is very close to here, near the airport at the very end of Cape Cod, where there is also a sizable beach resort."
"Most importantly, Abel, you know what? After I checked the house, I found that besides a lot less food, even several photos were missing, along with their frames!"
"So I'm sure my loved one has left here, after all, strange explorers wouldn't treat our family photos as trophies."
After he finished speaking, Johnny finally managed a forced smile.
Although he hadn't seen his wife for three months, he had at least discovered clues that led to her departure!
Come to think of it, Johnny's family originally consisted of only three people. When he and his son left for the competition, only Johnny's wife was left at home.
As long as Johnny's wife didn't cheat on him, and she didn't turn into a zombie, she wouldn't have the possibility of being bitten and infected by other zombies immediately after the apocalypse.
For this reason, Johnny's excitement wasn't complete, since it was quite normal for his wife to successfully leave home.
That doesn't prove that his wife is definitely still alive.
Listening to Johnny's story, Abel also realized this, so he didn't show any particularly relieved expression.
After a brief moment of thought, he spoke softly.
"It's good that you still have ideas. Just like you used to do, now that you have a goal, let's set off. I haven't seen the beaches of Cape Cod yet."
"It's Cape Reis beach, buddy. The end of this bay is called Cape Reis."
Beside him, Anglu, leaning on his cane, offered a listless correction.
Upon hearing this, Abel nodded, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"Hmm, anything is fine, Cape Cod, Cape Reis, I don't care about that, I just want to know what the beach is called, and whether the thing I'm most looking forward to will still be there."
"You should know what I'm expecting, right? A romantic encounter under the sea breeze and sunshine~"
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Abel's joke, Anglu finally couldn't help but laugh. He staggered over to Abel, bumped Abel's shoulder with his own, and teased him.
"Encounters are inevitable, Abel, but romance is another matter."
"After all, even if those bikini-clad zombies on Match Point Beach might want to exchange bodily fluids with you, their motivation is definitely not romance or appreciation, but rather fucking hunting."
"Haha, that would be even more exciting!"
Abel laughed and put his arm around Anglu, and the two walked toward their beat-up pickup truck.
Seeing that the two had already gotten into the car, Johnny shook his head with a wry smile, then took one last look at his old house.
After glancing at it, Johnny breathed a sigh of relief, then got back into his car, slowly started it, and drove away from his house.
In the passenger seat, I looked at my home, which was becoming increasingly blurry in the rearview mirror.
Anglu took a deep breath and suddenly couldn't help but speak.
"Dad."
"Hmm?" Johnny replied without turning his head.
"Do you think it was worth the trip back?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
This time, Johnny turned around and stared intently into Anglu's eyes.
Anglu was startled, then couldn't help but rub his hair and said with a wry smile.
"Sorry, I made a fool of myself, Dad."
"Okay, this won't happen again."
Johnny took a deep breath and whispered something to Anglu.
Anglu nodded slightly upon hearing this, and their car continued past Cape Cod, heading towards Cape Reis.
Cape Reis and Cape Cod are only about 35 kilometers apart, and Johnny's house is even closer to Cape Reis, about 22 kilometers away.
The three of them drove along the road, trying to stay away from the many buildings along the way, and soon they could vaguely see the match point beach.
This was also thanks to the fact that the apocalypse broke out at 3 a.m., when there were hardly any vehicles on the main roads.
Aside from a few neighborhoods with particularly vibrant nightlife, other roads don't have countless cars driving endlessly.
The most crucial thing is————
They had just arrived near the match point beach when, from a distance, Johnny saw a plume of smoke rising into the air!
Upon seeing that scene, without Johnny needing to say anything, Anglu and Abel exchanged an excited glance.
"Mazefak!" Anglu roared. "There's human habitation here!"
"I don't like rude people, but I must say you fucked perfectly, fuck!"
In the back seat, Abel excitedly patted the passenger seat.
At the same time, Johnny spoke to the two people beside him with trembling hands.
"That—damn it, that—that's—my father-in-law's house!"
"That's right, that's right! The second villa on the road behind the beach resort, the one with the smoking room—they're home, they must be home!"
At this point, Johnny couldn't help but accelerate the car slightly.
The pickup truck immediately veered off the road, rushed onto the beach, crossed the sandy area, and headed straight for the smoking villa.
"etc!"
Just as Johnny was eagerly driving the car toward the yard, behind him, Abel moved from behind the passenger seat to behind the driver's seat, patted Johnny's seat heavily, and shouted.
"Don't drive that fast, Johnny. The people in that house don't know who we are. Be careful, they might just shoot us!"
"Damn it, you're right, I'll slow down, I'll slow down right now, I—I'm shaking a little, fuck!"
Johnny yelled in response, then threw the pickup truck to the side of the yard.
Indeed, if someone were watching him park from a distance, they would see that Johnny looked like he had simply thrown a toy car against the wall.
The passengers in the car were jolted a couple of times, and Abel managed to hold onto the door and push it open to get out.
"It would be better to go slower next time, but I don't seem to have a say because I can't empathize with you right now."
After grumbling, Abel casually drew his cavalry saber, then, with the saber in his right hand and his silver family crest revolver bearing a clear mark of damage in his left, he took the lead and headed towards the courtyard.
There didn't seem to be many people living in the courtyard, so much so that there wasn't even a lookout. The three of them didn't encounter any obstacles until they reached the back door of the villa.
Standing in front of the back door, Abel made way for Johnny to lean in and place his hand on the doorknob.
Gripping the familiar doorknob, Johnny took a hard breath, then resolutely turned the handle.
Then----
Click—
Twist it again —
Click—
"Ahem, it's locked, that's normal. So should we go around to the front door and ring the doorbell, or just knock and let our friends inside, who might be cooking, notice us?"
Abel spoke up to the embarrassed Johnny, asking him a question.
Johnny looked at Abel with immediate emotion.
"Let's knock on the door; the back door is very close to the kitchen."
After explaining, Johnny raised his right hand and pounded on the door.
Feeling that one stroke wasn't enough, he added a few more before standing still and waiting.
Abel and Anglu stood by the window, staring intently at the corridor inside.
Right in their line of sight, a silver figure suddenly emerged from the end of the corridor!
"Um?"
The silver light made Abel pause in surprise.
What looks so metallic?
As the figure gradually walked away, Abel nodded in relief.
Oh, it's a set of lamellar armor.
"Wait? Lace-up armor?!"
After a brief moment of disorientation, Abel cried out in shock.
As he spoke, the figure in lamellar armor inside the window suddenly stopped and then aimed a shotgun at the figure outside.
"Back off!"
The man in lamellar armor shouted at the three of them.
Upon hearing this, Johnny and his two companions quickly retreated, walking back five or six meters before Johnny shouted back to the person inside the window.
"Hey, who are you? This is my father-in-law's house, you know? Why are you living here? Have you ever met Leona? Fuck, have you ever met Leona?!"
"Walter? Leona? Leona Wick?"
Upon hearing Johnny's shout, the figure in lamellar armor inside the window paused for a moment.
After a brief moment of shock, the figure shouted at Johnny.
"Johnny? Anglu? Good heavens, you're—Leona's family? How is this possible!"
"Oh my God, we've finally found it! Oh my god, we've found it! Johnny's here! Johnny's here! I'm Johnny! Fuck Johnny's here!"
Just after the armored figure called out Johnny and Anglu's names, Johnny and Anglu immediately roared out in a cathartic release.
As the two shouted and yelled wildly, Abel looked at them in shock.
His eyes initially showed extreme shock, but after the shock subsided, a sense of considerable relief appeared in them.
But after a brief moment of relief—
Abel's eyes quickly fell silent.
So it turns out that there really are people who can travel thousands of kilometers in a post-apocalyptic world to find their loved ones in person?
This is practically a movie!
This is simply a miracle!
But here's the problem: I was just a witness to the miracle, but it didn't happen to me.
Compared to them, is it possible for me to cross the entire Atlantic Ocean, return to Europe, and find my relatives?
I'm afraid I won't have that opportunity anymore.
What Abel felt most guilty about was—
It seems he never had the courage to do that from the very beginning!
Thinking of this, Abel sighed regretfully.
If it weren't for the aristocratic education he received from a young age, he would have been unable to hold back his tears long ago.
At the same time, the figure in armor inside the window, after a brief moment of surprise, rushed to the back door and pushed open the heavy door.
The figure in lamellar armor strode out the back door, looked around, and then shouted.
"Stop shouting! Do you want to bring all the mulberry trees in the sea out? Come in now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the armored man made way for the three of them, who immediately slipped into the room. Johnny, the moment he entered the room, grabbed the armored man's armor plate and said...
"Where is Leona? I miss her so much! God, she's still alive, isn't she? Please, tell me she's still alive, tell me she's still waiting for me!"
"Uh... well... we'll talk about that later!"
Looking at Johnny, who seemed to be going crazy, sometimes excited and sometimes nervous, the armored man shook his head helplessly, then placed the gun in his hand next to the back door and closed the back door tightly.
He then strode toward the kitchen and spoke to the three people who were anxiously waiting behind him.
"I never imagined that Leona's family would actually come back. I thought it was just her wishful thinking, God."
"Looking at it this way, I'm afraid I made a mistake. I'll tell you about it in a bit, but damn it, I really don't know how to explain it to you!"
"What?"
Upon hearing what the Zhajiaren said, Johnny and Angru immediately stopped in their tracks.
The two of them stood in the corridor, blocking Abel from behind.
"What did you say?"
Johnny suddenly shouted desperately at the armored man.
"What's wrong with Leona? What decision did you make this time? What the hell kind of decision was that?!"
While yelling, Johnny charged uncontrollably toward the armored man.
Facing the charging Johnny, the armored man stopped, suddenly turned around, raised his thigh, and delivered a powerful kick to Johnny's stomach!
Seeing that the armored man actually attacked Johnny, Anglu was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his cane and smashed it at the armored man.
At the same time, Abel also raised his cavalry saber and stabbed it into the gaps in the armor plates of the armored man!
However, even when faced with the simultaneous attack of the two, the armored man suddenly took a big step forward, directly stepping over Johnny's stomach, ducking to avoid the hurled cane, and slamming his shoulder heavily into Anglu's chest.
As Anglu was thrown into the air, the armored man suddenly lowered himself, reached down to his calf, pulled out a pistol, and used the barrel to deflect the cavalryman's saber thrust.
Then, the armored man clearly saw that Abel, carrying a cavalry saber, had already raised his spear and aimed it at him.
So the Zaraka man had no choice but to turn around and point his gun at Abel's head, putting the two of them in a standoff!
As the two confronted each other, Johnny stood up, clutching his stomach, and swiftly drew his gun, aiming it at the back of the armored man's head.
"Don't move!"
"Don't fucking shoot!"
"Shut up!"
"Tell me what happened to Leona!"
"You bastard!"
"Stop yelling, get to the point!"
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck the squid rabbit!"
"Shut up, all of you!"
"What did you do to my mother, you bastard!"
In an instant, the four figures in the narrow corridor were completely in chaos.
You can say whatever you want, I can say whatever I want, and he can ask whatever he wants; we simply can't have a normal conversation.
The four of them roared like madmen for over a minute, and none of them were willing to put down their pistols first.
This is the real apocalypse. Who would so easily abandon their last means of self-protection as they do in the movies?
Not everyone thinks they are destined to be the protagonist and will be treated well just by putting down their gun, right?
And so, a full minute or so passed.
Finally, new figures appeared in the distance along the corridor.
When the figure appeared, Abel's eyes lit up during the standoff.
It turned out to be a girl dressed like Mulan from the movie, also wearing an oriental armor!
Upon seeing the scene before her, the girl stopped in her tracks and then quickly retreated.
As the girl ran away, Abel sighed with regret.
But he didn't regret it for long, because the girl soon returned, and back in the hallway, she was carrying a damn MK48 light machine gun!
