Chapter 175 Swamp
Chapter 175 Swamp
Hearing Glenn's words, Lily became anxious, "You are simply a cold-blooded creature!"
Looking at Lily who kept yelling at him, Glenn frowned. He didn't understand why Zhou Nan wanted to bring such a person back to prison.
Glenn had no objection to accepting Lee, Clementine and Kenny, but he really couldn't stand the crazy woman Lily and the bad-tempered Larry.
Looking at the walkie-talkie in his hand, Glenn decided to talk to Zhou Nan about this matter later. The prisons nowadays don't accept all kinds of garbage.
Seeing that Glenn was determined not to give her food, Lily scolded Glenn for a long time, but no one was willing to pay attention to her. Lily just felt like a clown.
After giving her father Larry the medicine in shame, Lily also took away all the food in the camp.
Seeing this, Kenny said dissatisfiedly, "Lily, this is food that we all foraged together. Isn't it a bit too much for you to eat it all by yourself?"
Lily said without even turning her head, "You have enough food to eat now, so of course you don't care about other people's lives. Does that mean we deserve to starve?"
Kenny's face was twisted with anger at these words. He had never seen such an unreasonable woman. Although Lily had a foul mouth, it was still acceptable. After all, they were all hungry together.
Seeing that others now had no shortage of food, Lily felt unbalanced.
Except for her father Larry, she now hated everyone present. Even Clementine's happy smile while eating seemed to be a silent mockery of her!
Kenny's wife Katya said to Glenn, "Don't pay attention to her. You guys should rest here for a while. Li and the others should be back soon."
After thinking about it, Glenn finally nodded in agreement. He decided to invite them to the prison after everyone was present.
Although Lily here is the apparent leader, Glenn feels that Lee, Kenny and others are more reliable than Lily.
In this way, Glenn temporarily rested in the motel and waited for Li and others to return.
Green Farm
Zhou Nan and his team of about 50 people worked hard for a whole day to empty the slaughterhouse, and the meat in the cold storage had to be transported four times.
Zhou Nan and his team kept some whole sheep as supplies for their two teams.
After all, eating sausages every day is a painful thing. Maybe grilling some lamb chops or lamb legs is a good choice.
Today is harvest day, so it's time to celebrate.
So Zhou Nan asked the truck driver to bring a few boxes of red wine from the prison, and Zhou Nan also invited Lao Xie's family.
There were forests all around, and fuel was easily available. Several people took their axes and went to cut wood. Zhou Nan also found Hershel while everyone was collecting firewood.
Seeing Zhou Nan coming to find him, Hershel also smiled.
Since the misunderstanding was resolved, he knew Zhou Nan's character, and his guess was also verified from other people's words, so he was very friendly towards Zhou Nan.
"Have you tried riding a horse? Didn't Beth teach you?" Before Zhou Nan could speak, Hershel took the initiative to greet him.
Zhou Nan shook his head. "I've been so busy today. I've been busy since this morning and haven't had a chance to experience horseback riding yet."
Hershel nodded. "Learning to ride a horse is a required course for you guys. Those cool cowboys are all good riders."
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off topic, Zhou Nan forcibly ended it and got straight to the point: "Herschel, I didn't come to you to ride a horse, but to take you to see the swamp. There are some new changes there, and I think you need to go and see it yourself."
Hershel wondered, "What's so good about a swamp? It's formed by accumulated rainwater. A large area of open space is occupied. There's nothing to see."
"And you should stay away from that place. One of my horses ran into it and disappeared. I think it was swallowed by the swamp."
Zhou Nan suddenly realized that Hershel had not noticed the changes in the swamp at all. He seemed to attach little importance to the swamp, but this swamp did protect the farm.
After all, all the surrounding farms have fallen, and only Green Farm still exists, which explains everything.
"Go first and talk later!"
Hershel had no choice but to follow Zhou Nan to the swamp.
The scope of this swamp is obvious because it is blocked by a fence, so it is easy to judge its approximate scope.
Under Hershel's horrified eyes, Zhou Nan directly climbed over the fence and entered the swamp area.
Hershel was about to go back and ask someone to pull Zhou Nan up, but was shocked to find that Zhou Nan did not fall into the water.
Zhou Nan said to Hershel, "Herschel, did you see that? This swamp has been frozen over and is now very solid!"
Hershel nodded repeatedly. He hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet and could actually laugh. "I've lived here all my life, and I've never noticed such changes in the swamp during winter."
Hershel also climbed over the fence and stood in the swamp like Zhou Nan.
Listening to Hershel's words, Zhou Nan covered his forehead with his hands. He was a little speechless now.
But then Zhou Nan's eyes lit up, and he took Hershel to the other side of the swamp.
There were some dense footprints on the other side of the swamp, which Hershel also noticed. Zhou Nan also explained to Hershel: "These footprints were left by the patients you mentioned."
Looking at the footprints, Hershel discovered that the toes of these marks were all facing the swamp, and not a single footprint was facing the opposite direction.
This also means that the swamp swallowed these "patients"!
Hershel's expression changed. He wanted to inform Otis to build a fence here to prevent these "patients" from falling into the swamp.
But he suddenly discovered that a stray dog suddenly rushed out from the woods.
The stray dog was extremely hungry. Since its owner died, it had no ability to hunt independently. In order to fill its stomach, it could only make a crazy decision.
That's "eating zombies"!
But stealing and eating these horrible zombies while they help it sleep means it has to risk its life all the time.
Because once it takes a bite, it means the zombies will "wake up"!
Look, now it is in a state of being chased.
Next, Hershel saw a group of "patients" following the dog and about to enter the swamp.
Hershel was about to speak up to remind them, but he suddenly remembered that he and Zhou Nan were standing here at the moment, and the patients should not fall down.
So he gave up reminding her out loud.
The stray dog crawled into the gap under the fence, turned its head to look at the group of zombies chasing it, and actually lay on the ground to rest.
All signs indicate that it is a habitual offender.
The so-called "patients" mentioned by Hershel stepped firmly on the swamp and attacked the fence of Hershel's farm.
"Boom, bang."
As the impact continued, the fence began to creak.
Hershel's expression changed drastically. He had witnessed his wife and adopted son being "infected" by these patients and knew the aggressiveness of these crazy patients.
If the fence was broken, everyone on the farm would be "infected". At this moment, he finally understood Zhou Nan's intention of bringing him here.
Without the protection of the swamp, his farm is in danger!
Hershel then asked Zhou Nan, "I might need your help. Can you drive these people away?"
