Chapter 550 A Corner of the United States
Beside John, Jax and Katrina, both four years old, were galloping happily on the ruins.
They were only two years old when they were born. They were already considered to be the first generation after the apocalypse. In their eyes, the world was only one world, regardless of whether it was before or after the apocalypse. They believed that the world should be like this. And all the colors in such a world would be deeply imprinted into their childhood memories.
The little girl, Katrina, was tired of running and returned to Old John to act spoiled.
"Old John, will there be zombies running out today?
Old John bent down and found a worn-out Barbie doll from the ruins. Although it was wrapped in an outer package, it still looked broken. Perhaps he could take it to the village and sew it up with needles and thread, and then make a toy for Katrina. Every girl should have a doll, shouldn't she?
"Little Katrina, you should call me grandfather. This is considered polite."
Katrina stuck out her tongue and said, "It was Julia from the village tavern who told me to call you that. He said you owe her a glass of whiskey, and I can call you old John directly, not grandfather, until I return it to her."
"Julia?"
Old John's face turned red.
This stingy woman, he only touched her chest a few days ago, but she actually cared so much about it.
Other men could already roll around on her for an entire night with a glass of whisky, but he was going to be treated like this! Ah, he's really old. If it was when he was young, wouldn't that woman Julia obediently scram into his bed?
"Little Katrina, Julia is a bad woman. Don't go to her tavern in the future!" Old John patted his lips and said somewhat unhappily.
Katrina shook her head and said, "No!" Old John, Julia is very nice! She'll give me lots of nice candy. I know why you call her a bad woman, because she goes to bed with men in exchange for food and whiskey! I thought it wasn't good at first, but Julia had already explained to me that she had to eat food in order to keep her body alive and drink whiskey in order to keep her soul alive! That's why she slept with men in exchange for these! She is a woman of taste! Although I don't agree with her methods, I still like her! Because she kindly gave me good candy. I think God will forgive her! "
Old John frowned and said seriously, "Little Katrina, on behalf of my grandfather, I order you not to look for Julia again. Listen to yourself. You're only four years old now. Don't you think you're a little precocious?"
Katrina raised her head and looked at Old John. She noticed that the old man seemed to be a little angry, so she cleverly changed her address and said, "Grandfather, what do you mean by precocious?"
"You already know things that you shouldn't know at your age, like how Julia can sleep with people in exchange for food and whiskey! It's bad for your growth," Old John said.
Katrina thought for a moment, shook her head, nodded again, and said, "Grandfather, I'm too young to understand what you mean. But I'll listen to you. After all, you're my grandfather. I believe you won't lie to me!"
Old John nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "Do you know how to lie? I need you to swear in front of me!"
Katrina's mouth rose in displeasure. "I swear by God, if I go to play with Julia again, I will never eat the delicious candy Julia gave me again!" She said after a long time.
Old John was finally completely satisfied. He looked at Jax walking back and forth on the ruins, looking for something fun. He thought to himself, "It's better for a boy to be good!" Ai, it's a pity that their parents have turned into zombies. How can I bring up these two children? He was already too old, so old that he was about to return to his Father's embrace.
Katrina secretly took out a piece of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth. "I swore that I didn't have a Bible in my hand. Is that not true?" She thought. Also, even if he violated his oath and went to play with Julia again, wouldn't he be punished as long as he didn't eat the candy that Julia gave him? In that case, God would not be angry with her.
Seeing that she was so clever, the little girl laughed happily. She was eating delicious candy while jumping beside Old John. She did not know what it was like to be young.
Located in eastern Virginia, Williamsburg is a famous historical city and tourist destination in the United States. It was built near the lake and beneath it was the boundless Atlantic Coastal Plain. The nearby land was fertile in geology and the climate was warm and pleasant. Before the apocalypse, the city's buildings were simple and unadorned. It was completely different from the tall buildings in New York City, which was only a hundred kilometers away from it.
Before the apocalypse, Williamsburg had done a very good job of greening the city. After the apocalypse, the plants here grew even more luxuriant. In a few years, this place would be covered in green, becoming a declining and emerging green field.
However, at this moment, this place still looked dim.
The winter in Williamsburg in May was not over yet. Although the sun was shining brightly, the temperature was only around ten degrees Celsius. By night, the temperature here would drop to more than ten degrees Celsius below zero.
Old John found a few more boards in the ruins.
"I have to get these planks back! Because our house in the sanctuary needs rest! There will be rain in the next few days, and we will suffer again! I really hope Little Jax can grow up quickly. Our family needs a strong man, and my Little Katrina needs such a man to protect."
Katrina rubbed her hands and bent down, looking like a hunchback old woman.
"Grandfather, is there only three of us left in the Orlando Clan? And aren't you a man? Why let Jax grow up so fast? He is a playful ghost! Moreover, he is stingy and stingy. I don't need him to protect me! When I grow up, I've decided to go to New York! Julia said that it was now a paradise for gangsters, and many people had built their own territories there! I also want to build a territory over there and live a good life! "Have people give me candy every day!"
The wrinkles on Old John's face were all piled up. He swore that his little Katrina would never have any dealings with that crazy woman Julia again!
A cold wind blew from the west and Old John shivered.
"Zombies, zombies!"
Suddenly, the vigilant people from afar ran back to warn them.
Needless to say, the people who were picking up things in this abandoned area quickly followed the guards and began to evacuate. They had to return to their small village as quickly as possible. It was a small forest five kilometers outside Williamsburg City. People had barbed-wire fences around the tree trunks of the forest!
There weren't many zombies nearby, but there would occasionally be zombies running over from other places.
People start by choosing to kill them.
However, later on, it was discovered that after killing some ordinary zombies, some dangerous mutants would be attracted by the zombies' roars!
Zombies were such strange creatures. When they were surrounded by similar creatures, they were as quiet as a good baby. If they saw humans, they would roar like they had been drugged.
Holding Jax and Katrina's hands, Old John staggered as he ran. He was too old!
"Old John, run! Your legs and legs aren't good anymore. If that's the case, we'll die!" Katrina was already crying. Although she was small, she still knew how terrifying the zombies were.
Jax was very manly. He picked up a wooden stick that wasn't too heavy from the ground and took it in his hand. He ran and looked back. He thought in his heart that if there were zombies coming, he would protect his grandfather and sister and fight against the zombies.
At this time, the zombies finally appeared behind them. They formed groups, numbering more than a thousand.
Old John and the two children were already at the back of the line, less than five hundred meters away from the group of corpses.
"Damn it! There are so many fucking zombies! Oh... God, I can't run! My heart is beating! Jax, run away with Little Katrina! I'll catch up to you!"
Jax was an obedient child in normal times. Hearing what his grandfather said, he immediately ran over to hold Cortrina's hand.
Katrina ignored Jax and instead tightened Old John's trousers.
"No! Grandfather, I will not leave you alone! The three members of the Orlando Clan must either escape together or die here together!"
Old John could hardly control his tears. How could he bear to die, this clever and brave little girl?
In a critical moment, in another direction, a blonde girl rode a four-meter-long mutated panther from afar. When she arrived beside Old John and his grandchildren, she stopped her mount and quickly brought Old John and the two little cheetahs back to the village.
Old John was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that they would be saved by a mutant girl descending from the sky at such a critical moment. This was truly a kind of luck!
After entering the barbed wire fence of the village, the blonde girl directly sacrificed her blood to retrieve her mutated beast.
This caused Katrina to open her eyes wide in surprise. She completely forgot about the incident where the zombies had chased after her.
"Beautiful sister, where did that black ferocious beast of yours go?"
After asking, Katrina seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "Oh!" By the way, beautiful sister, my name is Katrina Orlando Ka. My ancestors were British nobles, but I have never been to England. I was born in the United States. This is my grandfather, John Orlando! That's my brother, Jax Orlando! You can call us old john, jacks and little katrina! On behalf of the Orlando Clan, I would like to thank Big Sister Beauty for saving my life. "
Old John was a little embarrassed. He guided the blonde beauty down the road and wanted her to sit at home.
"This child is usually naughty and ruthless. Today, he was just pretending. However, that sentence was sincerely grateful to this beautiful lady for saving our lives."
The blonde smiled and said, "I'm just passing by. I'm honored to be able to take you away from the zombies."
After saying that, the blonde looked down at Katrina who was walking beside her and smiled. "Dear little lady, big sister is called Benita. Nice to meet you!"
