Chapter 201: Chapter 212 Heard
"Pah~"
The flame lit up and the cigarette butt was lit.
I can't remember how many times I have lit the lighter.
Perhaps the answer can be obtained by carefully counting the dense cigarette butts in front of the two people.
But neither Sean nor Rick had the leisure time to do so at this moment.
The two of them sat on the grass next to each other, smoking silently.
"Sean, it's not your fault what happened to Carl."
"Whose fault is that?" Sean laughed at himself.
Rick shook his head and said nothing more, just smoking silently.
In fact, Rick's sadness was not as intense as Sean imagined. He was sad, but it was not exaggerated.
After all, Rick had long ago thought that he had accepted the reality that all the people he knew in the world had died.
Suddenly getting the news that his best friend and wife were still alive was already a pleasant surprise, as for his son.
Suddenly I got the news that he might still be alive. Well, it's just a possibility. It can be considered a surprise, barely.
Just like Sean said, at least I can't just assume that Carl is dead.
Even Moore and Daryl have been looking for Carl, so how can I give up?
"Ahem..." Rick threw away the cigarette butt, stretched, and looked at Sean, "Where's Lori? Why didn't anyone ask her to see me? Come on, take me to see her first. Then I really need to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and have a good sleep as you said."
Sean's expression suddenly froze, and he said stiffly, "We two brothers haven't seen each other for so long, let's chat for a while."
Rick frowned slightly. Sean's abnormality was too obvious, which gave Rick a bad feeling.
"Sean, did something happen to Lori too? You don't have to hide it from me, buddy. Whatever it is, tell me. I can accept it."
"This..." Sean looked embarrassed and hesitant.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a gunshot was suddenly heard.
In an instant, Sean and Rick quickly threw away their cigarette butts and looked in the direction where the gunshots came from.
"Woo woo woo~"
At the prison gate and in the guard room, a manual alarm was sounded.
Suddenly, the shrill alarm sounded throughout the prison, and everyone who was doing something there understood what the alarm meant.
Since the alarm was installed, it has only sounded once, when a large group of zombies almost pushed open the barbed wire.
And Sean also made it clear that unless there is an urgent situation or a threat to the prison, the alarm should not be sounded at will.
At this time, everyone in the prison had realized that something big had happened.
And Sean and Rick on the grass had already seen what was going on.
A tank was parked right in front of the prison gate, with an armored vehicle on each side, and then some pickup trucks and military off-road vehicles.
On the tanks, armored vehicles, and next to other vehicles, there were figures standing, all holding weapons.
The gunshot just now was someone among those people firing a shot, I don't know if it was to warn or to attract attention.
"Sean, what's going on?" Rick had already taken out the Colt Python from his leg and was looking at the people outside the prison with full vigilance.
Rick wasn't stupid enough to think that the army had sent people to rescue him.
Maybe Rick would have had such fantasies when he just woke up from the hospital, but now, forget it.
Since leaving Atlanta, all this is just bullshit. I don't have a shitty army. I can only rely on myself in this world.
Moreover, these people were obviously not dressed like soldiers.
"No, I don't know, but these people are obviously not here to visit." Sean shook his head, and then quickly said to Rick, "Rick, follow me."
Sean hurriedly took Rick towards the inner wall, but Sean did not enter the wall. Instead, he climbed up the watchtower.
Andrea is the one in charge of keeping watch on the watchtower. This watchtower, which is watching the inner wall, is also the most important watchtower, so naturally she has to send the most trusted person to it.
"Andrea, what's going on now?" Sean asked quickly.
"No, I don't know. They said it came suddenly. I called you through the intercom, but you didn't respond." Andrea said as she observed through the sniper rifle's scope.
"I didn't bring a walkie-talkie. Damn it, Andrea, be careful. If there is a trend of fighting, come down directly. There are tanks on the opposite side. It's not safe on the sentry tower. But don't shoot before I give the order."
After giving the instructions, Sean quickly went down the watchtower and went to the guard room to get a walkie-talkie. While talking, he walked quickly inside.
"Zach, Brady, stop guarding the gate and come back quickly, but be careful they might shoot.
T, you stay there and distribute weapons to them first. Those guarding in other directions should enter the inner wall first.
Don't take the initiative to shoot. The other party's purpose is not clear yet, but there is no need for us to take the initiative to provoke them."
"I think their purpose is very clear. They don't drive tanks when visiting someone's home, let alone go to a stranger's home."
Rick beside Sean said calmly.
Sean shook his head and quickly walked into the square inside the inner wall, where many people were already standing.
There were a lot of familiar people, including Lori. Rick's attention was immediately attracted by Lori, and the joy in his eyes was about to overflow.
Lori was puzzled at first about who this person was, and then quickly threw Rick away. Her eyes were filled with shock, as if she had seen a ghost.But Rick didn't notice so much. At this moment, he only knew that Lori was still alive and standing in front of him.
At this moment, Rick even forgot about those people outside who obviously had bad intentions. At this moment, there was only Lori in his eyes.
Sean took a look and then looked away. Now was not the time to deal with these things.
"Sean, what happened?" Hershel slowly walked towards Sean.
Sean shook his head and said directly to everyone, "An unknown force is approaching us. We must make all preparations now. Those who are not capable of fighting should go to the basement, and everyone else should prepare their weapons."
At this time, T Zai also came over with two people pushing a small cart, which was full of various weapons.
"It's them." Michonne, who was beside Maul, looked at the tanks outside and said softly.
"What?" Moore walked to the weapons cart and selected the only grenade launcher.
"The ones who are chasing us." Michonne said.
"Never mind that. It looks like a fight is about to break out. Girl, grab a gun. Your knife won't help you in a firefight."
The crowd also began to disperse, those who should stay stayed, and those who should leave left.
Sean looked at Dale who was left behind and shook his head helplessly, but he didn't have time to care about him now, so he quickly walked up to the dazed Rick.
"Rick, I need your help."
Lori had already left. Daryl had just given Judith to her, and then she left with Judith in her arms.
Lori did not take the initiative to approach Rick or communicate. Now she needs time to digest this information.
"You guys are really slow to react."
A voice that became louder through the loudspeaker came into the prison. Sean heard it, and everyone heard it.
