Chapter 203 Eugene's Self-Destruction
When Maggie spoke out to stop Abraham, Abraham's face turned ugly. He was a bit chauvinistic, and even if the people in the Destiny camp praised Maggie to the skies, it was hard for him to be convinced by a woman.
"You have no idea what we are doing. As long as we can get to Washington, Eugene can solve everything! He is a virus scientist! He can operate the biological weapons system hidden in the White House!"
"Then, this will all be over! We will be heroes forever!"
Abraham walked up to Maggie and spoke angrily with righteous words.
Glenn came over and stood between Abraham and Maggie, looking into Abraham's eyes without fear, even though he was a head taller than him.
"It seems your plan won't work now."
Maggie thought about it and did not question the authenticity of Abraham's words. Instead, she told him that the timing was not right and they did not have the ability to move forward.
Abraham had not completely lost his mind, he was just impatient, even eager to get people to take risks with him. He stared at Glenn in silence, not noticing that Eugene was trembling in the car.
Eugene was so frightened by the roar of the blue-armored giant corpse that he almost peed his pants. He could feel the difference in the level of the two sides in the food chain after the disaster, just like a puppy trembling with fear when hearing the roar of a tiger.
"Eugene...Eugene?!"
Abraham called Eugene in the car without looking back. He wanted Eugene to stand up himself and use his identity to convince these timid cowards.
Eugene was still trembling. The closer he got to Washington, the more anxious he became. He was worried that his lies would be exposed. Now he had encountered a giant blue-armored zombie somewhere in the city. He felt extremely scared.
"roar----!!!!!!"
As the roar of corpses in the city center erupted again, the tension in Eugene's head finally broke. He covered his head in fear and muttered nonsense in the car:
"I lied... I lied! Abraham, I'm not a scientist! I don't know what to do! Oh my God! Don't let me go to Washington! I don't want to be near that voice!!"
Sean and Rick lit a cigarette, Glenn hugged Maggie, and Alan stood aside, waiting for Abraham's reaction.
"..."
Abraham jumped up and pulled Eugene off the military card without saying anything. He punched Eugene in the face with his sandbag-sized fists mercilessly.
The only reason for his life was shattered. He saved a coward and drove all the way from Houston to Washington, D.C., across several states, because of the coward's lie!
"Fuck! You!!!"
Abraham threw a final punch with a ferocious look on his face, roaring at Eugene, who was already unconscious and bleeding from his mouth and nose.
Then Abraham knelt on the ground, facing Washington and fell silent.
Rosita stepped forward and pulled him, but she only lifted Abraham's arm. She couldn't pull Abraham, a 1.9-meter-tall man.
Abraham's roar was heard far away. In the distant tide of corpses, several brutal zombies with sparse hair, plump bodies but bloody sores turned their heads, and their legs gradually changed from walking to running, rushing towards Alan and others.
"Shit, don't waste time, get him in the car first."
Maggie used a telescope to observe the movement of the zombie tide. Behind a few brutal zombies, countless zombies turned their faces and followed their kind.
Alan walked up to Abraham with his gun and said:
"Big guy, forget about that lie. You have a new, real choice. Join our destiny camp and you can be part of liberating all of humanity."
Abraham was still kneeling on the ground stupidly without saying a word. Rosita shouted to her companions behind her: "Come and help!"
Rick and Sean then ran over, bent down, lifted Abraham's arms, and carried him shakily into the pickup truck.
Alan could see that Abraham at least listened to him, and Rick and Sean didn't have to use too much force when they carried him away.
Who would want to die if they can live, especially since Abraham already knew about the Destiny Position, a brand new option.
Everyone got in the car, Abraham temporarily stopped driving, and Rosita drove the military truck. Gabriel and Glenn threw Eugene into the back of the military truck with difficulty. They didn't dare to let Eugene and Abraham get close to each other at this moment.
The convoy turned around and drove away from Washington. Maggie said to Alan in the car: "We should go back this time."
"Why are you in such a hurry? We've already come here, wasted so many resources, and if we don't bring any results back, how are we going to survive in the future?"
Alan said unhappily. She didn't expect there would be a zombie tide in Washington. And the blue-armored giant zombie that disappeared in the zombie sea war is also very likely in Washington.
This made her goal more difficult to achieve.
Maggie agreed with Alan, but they had no plan for the next stage, not even a safe place to rest.
Maggie thought of what Zhang Qiang had done before, which was to find a place with good infrastructure, occupy it and develop slowly. She asked Glenn to open the map and check the towns near Washington.
Suddenly, a man with a backpack appeared in front of the convoy. He stood on the side of the road, raised his hand and gave a thumbs-up, as if he wanted to hitchhike.
"Shit, there's someone in front!"
Glenn, who was driving, was alert.
Rick and Sean immediately took out the thermal imaging scope from the package in the trunk. They carefully observed both sides of the road but found nothing else.
"Safe! He's alone!" Rick said.
"Go see what he wants to do."
Maggie squinted her eyes and looked at the roadside, her hand already touching the pistol at her waist.
Glenn relaxed when he realized there was only one person on the other side and there was no ambush. He slowed down the pickup truck and slowly stopped it next to the man.
Glenn rolled down the window and looked at the white man outside the car: "Hello man, do you need a ride?"
Glenn's attitude was very friendly and relaxed. The white man turned his eyes to the other people in the car. Everyone seemed to be indifferent to him as a stranger, and no one was on guard against him.
"Hello, I want to talk to your leader..."
The white man said seriously.
Everyone in the car exchanged glances, and Maggie immediately said, "It's me. What do you want?"
"I just found out about you guys. Are you going to Washington? It's not safe there. Our community is recruiting survivors, and I think you meet our requirements."
"What conditions?"
As Maggie was confused, the white man pointed to the black priest in the back of the military truck.
“Kind and friendly.”
"That sounds childish." Sean joked in the car.
"Interesting, what's your name?"
Rick suppressed his smile and asked the man outside the car. No matter if the other party was really stupid or had some ulterior motive, it was really bad luck to mess with this group of people.
"Aaron, my name is Aaron."
The white man with the backpack gave a sincere smile.
