Chapter 354 We've met before!
Amidst laughter, Eugene spread his hands to the black-haired youth, casually letting his rifle dangle to one side.
The black-haired youth didn't suspect anything; it wasn't the first time he'd encountered survivors coming to his door.
However, when he heard Eugene describe the route, he couldn't help but ask a couple of questions.
"You've come quite a distance, from South Texas to North Texas. If that's the case, why didn't you go to Gavin's camp? Their announcements are constantly running; you didn't miss them, did you?"
"Gavin's camp? You mean the one where they play football?"
Upon hearing Gavin from the black-haired youth, Eugene immediately grinned, a smile he simply couldn't contain.
However, Eugene couldn't discern the camp's attitude towards the Alliance, so he didn't want to reveal his identity.
After all, the two camps are actually very close to each other. If the black-haired youth's camp had always been friendly towards the Alliance, they would have gone there long ago.
Since they have chosen to develop on their own, their attitude toward the alliance is clearly questionable.
Then, Eugene grinned and said...
"Of course I've heard their announcements, but I don't have the guts to just take my buddies over there!"
"You guys didn't go over there either, right? After all, we can't just believe everything we hear on the radio, can we?"
"To be honest, I was really envious of the size of the camp they mentioned on the radio, after all, it sounded pretty big."
"But the more of them there are, the less I dare to go closer to observe. I'm afraid that if I get too close, I won't be able to escape, Mazefak. Who knows what they'll do to us then? We always avoid them!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Eugene's words immediately amused the black-haired youth, who laughed and nodded at Eugene, saying...
"That's right, damn it, they're too big. God knows what kind of conflicts might exist in such a huge camp."
"Besides, our boss doesn't like that Gavin guy, haha, so we've been avoiding them."
"A bastard like Gavin was a fucking star, a rich man, a big shot before the apocalypse, and all those big shots had fucking weird quirks, without exception."
"Whether it's cannibalism or child molestation, I don't think those powerful figures are incapable of it. Staying away from them is a good choice. Buddies, you did a good job. Let's go inside and talk!"
Just as the black-haired youth finished speaking, people started running out of the buildings in the direction of the manor in the distance.
As the group ran toward the gate, the black-haired youth opened the manor gate and gestured for Eugene to enter.
Eugene nodded while subtly glancing at the western part of the manor, vaguely spotting Martin's hiding place.
For a professional observer like him, Martin's location was extremely difficult to find, so he had to search for him while chatting, and it took him a long time to finally find him.
Therefore, Eugene wasn't worried about Martin being discovered by the dark-haired youth.
So he got into the car and drove it into the manor.
As his car passed through the gate, the gatekeepers stared intently at the car window, their clearly unhappy expressions causing Eugene to frown.
When the car is far away from the gate and slowly approaches the parking area.
Barn looked around to make sure no one could hear him, then whispered to Eugene.
"team leader."
"Um?
""
They didn't introduce themselves to us!
"yes!"
Eugene nodded and grinned maliciously.
"They're too stingy with their words, which isn't a good sign. But, well, just stay vigilant; no one can hurt us."
"Oh, and change the channel on all the walkie-talkies, just in case the boss and the others suddenly send a message. Anyway, the boss knows where I am; he'll find us!"
After saying that, Eugene parked his car in the parking area on his own.
Meanwhile, in the distant manor, a large group of people emerged from the houses.
There appeared to be at least twenty people, and at the very front of the group was a woman who was missing a hand.
The woman was wearing National Guard combat trousers on her lower body and a bulletproof vest over a gray-white triangular tank top on her upper body.
Eugene could see her intact right hand and her left hand, which was missing from her forearm, very clearly.
Eugene was particularly struck by the fact that she had not lost her entire left hand, but only half of it.
Her left middle, ring, and little fingers were all missing, and now a strange-looking half-prosthetic hand was installed!
The prosthetic hand is made of wood, with several pieces of sheet metal embedded in the exterior. It looks rough and impractical, especially since there seems to be suspicious black grime in the gaps between the sheet metal pieces.
The grime made Eugene squint and stare at the hand for another second.
But just as Eugene was intently observing the woman's prosthetic hand—
Suddenly, the woman who was leading a large group of people toward the three of them abruptly stopped in her tracks!
The sudden stop caused the entire crowd to halt, and the three or four people next to the woman unconsciously looked at her, their eyes revealing a hint of doubt.
And that woman—
She stopped in her tracks, raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, and then suddenly chuckled softly.
"Oh----"
After the laughter subsided, the woman continued striding towards Eugene.
But from that moment on, the men beside the woman began to walk with increasing wariness.
Eugene noticed the change, so he quietly pulled the gun, which was hanging down in his right hand, back into his arms.
Just as he put the HK416 into his arms, the woman came up to Eugene and then swiftly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Eugene's head!
"Hehehe!!"
Eugene wouldn't miss such a move from a woman, so just as she aimed her gun at him, he aimed his gun at her in return.
As he aimed, Eugene shouted.
"What the hell are you doing, you bitch? What did I do to offend you?"
"Mazefak, you're not going to say that my appearance offended you, are you?"
"Put the gun down, fucking put the gun down!"
"Ha ha!"
The last laugh came from the woman. She laughed loudly, meeting Eugene's displeased and fierce curses.
"Hahahaha!"
Brush and pull!
The woman's laughter grew louder and louder, and as she burst into laughter, everyone around Eugene and his two companions drew their weapons and aimed them at them.
"Fuck!"
Barn cursed, picked up his gun, and began looking around to aim.
"Oh my god!"
Kieran also picked up his gun, pointing it intently at his men in front of him, his finger nervously on the trigger.
Upon witnessing this scene in the forest, Martin's eyes widened instinctively.
Just a second ago, he didn't think there would be any problems, after all, Eugene handled it very well, and the other party did not suspect them.
But then, the situation actually became a stalemate?
What on earth is going on here?!
Despite his confusion, Martin opened his breast pocket and took out three infrared devices, which he then attached to his crossbow scope.
After adjusting the angle of the infrared light, Martin silently raised the crossbow and aimed at the right angle.
Meanwhile, Eugene stood frozen in place, gun in hand.
The woman with the missing half-hand continued to approach Eugene until the muzzle of Eugene's gun was pressed against her stomach, while she pressed the muzzle of her revolver firmly against Eugene's chin.
She gave a dismissive chuckle and then continued speaking to Eugene.
"I know you, Irishman, you know that? I've seen you before, even after the apocalypse!"
"Huh? You've seen me before? But I don't remember you."
Upon hearing the woman's words, Eugene chuckled and then quickly shook his head.
"If I knew a sexy woman like you, I would definitely remember you."
"So, wasn't our meeting a bit outrageous, bitch? Why don't you think back carefully and see if you fucking dreamt that I was fucking you hard inside?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene rudely thrust the gun forward, pressing it directly against the woman's ribs.
The woman groaned as she endured the pain of the rifle's impact, continuing to gently tap Eugene's cheek with the muzzle of her revolver.
Meanwhile, the curses and insults around them had become incessant.
The women's companions had already started hurling insults at Eugene and his two companions, using phrases like "put down your guns," "get out," "go to hell," and "kneel down and lick my boots."
Eugene and his two companions, like small boats swept up by the waves, struggled desperately in the sea of people.
The standoff between the two sides continued, but neither side dared to fire the first shot.
Eugene dared not fire because they were too few in number, and if he did, they would all be killed without a trace.
This is something that cannot be compensated for by combat power and combat skills. In reality, if someone is simultaneously aimed at by several thousand guns within a thousand meters, they cannot escape death.
As for the woman's buddies, well, they didn't dare to fire either.
Because nobody wants to be the first to die.
The situation remained deadlocked, and the stalemate allowed Eugene to silently breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the other party isn't insane, the current situation, though dangerous, actually seems negotiable.
At the same time, after hearing Eugene's curses at her, the woman couldn't help but sneer and wave her hand.
"Look."
She stared intently at Eugene, while speaking to her men.
"Guys, this is probably the worst pickup attempt ever. I emphasized that I knew him, but he's never even seen my face before!"
"Tsk tsk, hahaha, it was the same on the day the apocalypse broke out. Back then, I was just like every other boy and girl, tied up in their kitchen by the boss."
"There are four of us in total, haha, we're their food!"
"I thought I would die that day, but I was lucky, or perhaps extremely unlucky."
"At that time, I endured the pain and stared intently at the door. I was calculating my death date, or perhaps searching for my last chance to survive."
"But in the end, I still didn't see anyone else return. I only heard a few screams and witnessed my companions all turn from fresh food into more direct and gluttonous zombies!"
"My zombie companions and I stared at each other all night until the night faded and the morning mist descended."
"Perhaps the chef wanted to cheer me up a little as I was being dismembered and served on a plate, so he left the window open, and I was sitting not far from it, in a spot where I could see a little bit of the scenery outside!"
"I saw the sun rise, I saw everything in the world fall silent, until this man in front of me, and Gavin, whom I always keep talking about, hahaha, fucking Gavin!"
"I saw the two of them arrive at the estate in a pickup truck!"
"I was far away from them, but I still saw them. I saw them scouting outside the manor, I saw them briefly linger in my sight, but that brief moment already marked the first half of my life!"
"They came, they left, hahaha—hahahahaha, you fucking left, damn it, you're just like that glamorous football star, patting your sexy ass and walking away, fuck you!"
At this point, the woman with the severed hand could no longer contain herself, and she raised her pistol and smashed it heavily into Eugene's face.
When the woman moved the pistol away from him, Eugene intended to fire immediately.
But for some reason, when he saw the woman's eyes filled with resentment and hatred—
He actually—in the end, couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger.
Boom!
The butt of the pistol slammed heavily into his cheek, and Eugene, in pain, immediately shouted to Barn and Kieran.
"Don't shoot! She won't do anything to me!"
"Ha ha, gentleman, I wish I could tear your flesh and rip your skin off! Your appearance was my last hope, but your indifference has become the thing I hate most in my heart to this day!"
"Because the people I hated most in the past, haha, they've all turned into zombies, not one of them missing. That's made me lose even the right to seek revenge!"
Even if I smashed their heads one by one, even if I dismembered them bit by bit and left them to dry, I still couldn't erase the deep hatred in my heart!
"Whether it's for them, or for you!"
Despite Eugene's order not to fire, the woman showed no mercy and instead pounded on him repeatedly, while simultaneously raising her left foot and ruthlessly kicking him in the groin.
When Eugene was heavily attacked, his eyes bulged slightly.
But he preferred to use the gun to block the woman's attacks rather than point it at her and start firing.
In the distant forest, watching the sudden changes, especially the scene of Eugene being beaten by the woman with almost no resistance.
Martin was completely dumbfounded.
He instinctively reached for the walkie-talkie, then quickly withdrew his hand, leaned against the tree, aimed, and muttered to himself.
"Mazefak, did that bastard run into his ex-wife?"
As Martin was thinking this, Gavin's voice suddenly came from his waistband. Gavin spoke into the walkie-talkie.
"Where are you—"
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Martin glanced in the direction of Eugene from afar.
After discovering that there was no change in the situation on Eugene's end due to Gavin's message, Martin guessed that Eugene had probably switched to walkie-talkies.
So he picked up the walkie-talkie and carefully replied to Jiawen.
"Boss, this is Martin. I'm keeping watch in the forest. Eugene and the other two are surrounded by stranger survivors!"
'
"Among those unfamiliar survivors, there seemed to be someone Eugene knew. Eugene was being beaten by a sexy woman, but none of them fired a shot."
As soon as he finished speaking, Martin couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He really had no idea what was going on.
And Gavin—
A moment later, Gavin's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Mazefak, I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
