Alien Knights

Earth, Mount Ship Tunnel Entrance.

Ship Mountain Shelter Camp is 7.9 km away.

Slowly parking the car in the open space at the entrance of the tunnel, Clemens opened the door, walked down and looked at the tunnel full of car wreckage, rubbing his forehead in distress.

Liz also got out of the car with Alice.

Looking at the tragic situation in the tunnel, Liz whispered: "When the infection broke out, there must have been an accident in the tunnel. A large number of vehicles collided together, causing a fire."

Clemens closed the car door and said helplessly: "It looks like we have to walk through here."

Liz: "Fortunately, we are only a few kilometers away from our destination. This may be the last stretch."

As soon as he finished speaking, the screams of the infected came from the tunnel.

Holding Alice who was trembling with fear, Clemens said with a wry smile: "Maybe it will be the most difficult journey."

The three of them brought the supplies, supported each other, and carefully walked into the tunnel along the rightmost edge.

As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a pungent and disgusting smell of burning and smoke.

Clemens took out dry towels from his backpack and tied them on his and the other two faces.

Continuing to move forward, due to the presence of infected people, the three of them could not use flashlights and other lighting equipment. They could only touch the walls and judge the direction of progress by using the faint lights on the cars that were killed.

Liz held Alice's hand with one hand, and groped forward with the other hand, and suddenly touched a rough and hard foreign object.

Taking a closer look, a burnt corpse was half leaning out of the car window, hanging limply on the door.

Eyes wide open, Liz's legs gave way and she fell to the ground. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her forearm, forcing herself not to scream.

She looked around again and saw that burnt corpses could be seen everywhere in this graveyard of cars.

Clemens knelt down, helped Liz up, and whispered in her ear: "Turn your face towards the wall and don't look there."

The three of them walked forward for several dozen meters, and the screams of the infected became increasingly clear.

Clemens suddenly stopped and motioned for the others to squat down.

In the center of the tunnel, a group of infected people covered with parasite tentacles wandered among the ruins full of debris and rubble.

Clemens lowered his voice: "Don't let them see or hear you, lower your body, we can use the cover of those cars to go around."

Carefully bypass the group of infected people and continue forward. There is a curve in front of the tunnel.

Collapsed walls and scattered vehicles blocked the curve into a narrow gap.

Another group of infected people appeared in front, and the position where they stood happened to block the gap.

Liz stretched her head, looked at the group of infected people, and said awkwardly: "The place is too narrow, we can't get around."

Clemens observed the surrounding terrain, motioned for others to follow him, and hid in a hidden pit.

Picking up a stone of suitable size from the ground, Clemens took a deep breath and said to Liz: "I hope the tricks in the game can be used here."

Clemens hurled the stone toward the other side of the tunnel.

The rock hit the rock wall and bounced off a car, triggering the car's anti-theft alarm.

The loud and piercing siren immediately attracted the attention of all infected people.

In an instant, a scream echoed throughout the tunnel.

All the infected people ran and gathered near the alarm vehicle, and began to look around for the source of the sound and traces of the living.

"Praise to all the game makers in the world." Clemens breathed a sigh of relief and said behind him: "Hurry up and get out of here before they notice us."

After passing this section of the journey without any danger, the light at the tunnel exit became increasingly clear in everyone's sight.

Clemens smiled and hugged Liz, kissed the latter's forehead, and said excitedly: "We did it!"

Liz crossed herself and whispered, "God bless."

A smile appeared on Alice's face for the first time. She jumped forward and said, "Dad, look! That's the exit!"

Clemens watched Alice climb up the rubble leading to the exit, the smile still on his face, but the next second, something changed suddenly.

A pile of rubble suddenly fell from the top of the tunnel, hitting Alice directly and burying her.

Unable to believe his eyes, Clemens clenched his fists and shouted: "No!"

He rushed to the rubble pile and kept digging at the rubble with his hands.

Liz soon came to his side and helped move the gravel away.

Finally, the two found Alice buried under a pile of rocks.

There was blood overflowing from Alice's forehead, her face was pale, and she couldn't notice any life in her body.

Clemens laid Alice flat on the ground and helped her perform CPR while shouting: "No, baby, don't do this to me, don't leave me!"

After some efforts, Clemens found in despair that Alice was no longer breathing.

Clemens hugged Alice tightly and burst into tears.

At this moment, a sudden voice suddenly sounded.

"What a pity. I didn't expect that I only caught a small one despite the carefully set trap."

Goodman, who had a pistol on his waist and an M4 assault rifle in his hand, slowly walked in from the exit.

He looked at Clemens and Liz, who had surprised faces, and said with a sinister smile: "I know you will definitely pass by, so I was waiting here early."

With red eyes, Clemens slowly put down Alice, stared at Goodman, and growled with gritted teeth: "It's you! It's you who killed my daughter! You bastard!"

Goodman shrugged: "Although I'm a little sorry, you saw some things you shouldn't have seen before, so you must die."

"As I said before, I am a decent person, and there can be no stain on my experience... and you are the stain on me."

Clemens roared and rushed forward, wanting to knock out the damn bastard with one punch, but was instead kicked to the ground by Goodman.

Clutching his chest, Clemens huddled on the ground in pain. Grief and anger tortured his spirit, causing him to roar in pain.

Goodman walked forward with a grin, followed up with another kick, stepped heavily on Clemens' back, and said: "Professor, physical work is not your specialty. If you just sit in front of the computer honestly, maybe More suitable for you."

Liz held the stone in her hand and quietly walked around behind Goodman. Just as she was about to raise her hand to attack, the latter was unexpectedly knocked to the ground with the butt of his rifle.

While Goodman was distracted by Liz, Clemens suddenly stood up after being stepped on the ground.

He grabbed the former's leg and threw him to the ground, and then the two started a fierce struggle.

Liz, who fell to the ground, struggled to crawl toward the two fighting men, shouting Clemens's name loudly.

Gunfire suddenly rang out.

The two people fighting stopped their movements together.

Liz opened her eyes wide and began to pray in her heart, hoping that the god of luck would come to Clemens again.

However, the god of luck did not appear again.

Goodman kicked Clemens away and slowly stood up holding the M4 assault rifle.

Goodman spat a mouthful of phlegm at Clemens, who was shot in the abdomen, and said viciously: "I told you, professor, physical work is not your thing!"

Turning his gaze to Liz, whose face was full of despair, Goodman smoothed his hair with one hand and said with a smile: "Beautiful lady, you are the only one left now."

Liz struggled to crawl towards Clemens who was shot, and looked at the blood slowly pooling under the latter's body. Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she shouted his name hoarsely.

Goodman put the muzzle of the gun against Liz's forehead, lowered his head and said: "Look at your face, it would be such a waste to die like this. Do you want to play with me? If I am happy, maybe... …”

Liz gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with hatred and anger, and she yelled at Goodman: "Go to hell!"

Goodman frowned and said, "Why do you keep saying this over and over again? Since you insist, I have no choice but to send you on the road together..."

Gunfire rang out again.

Only, this time, the person who was hit became Goodman.

Goodman, who was shot, stumbled and fell to the ground, and the rifle in his hand also fell to the corner.

Looking down at the wound on his shoulder, Goodman had a look of disbelief on his face.

He turned around and looked in the direction of the source of the gunfire.

Alice, whose forehead was full of blood, actually stood up at this time, holding a pistol in both hands and facing Goodman, with some white smoke still remaining in the muzzle.

"This is impossible! You are already dead!" Goodman struggled to get up from the ground, looked at the young girl in front of him, took a deep breath, and said as he approached: "Child, this is not a toy. , you should leave it to me for safekeeping..."

Before she finished speaking, Alice pulled the trigger again.

The bullet accurately entered Goodman's right leg.

Goodman screamed and fell to the ground. While covering his wound, he yelled: "Fuck! Fuck! You little bastard! I'm going to kill you!"

Alice put down her pistol and walked slowly to Goodman's side. Her cold eyes made the latter, who was used to seeing death, so stunned that he forgot to speak.

Liz looked at the girl, and her confused and unfamiliar expression made her shudder.

Liz shouted softly: "Alice?"

The girl looked at Liz, tilted her head and asked, "Alice?"

After taking a look at the pistol in the other person's hand, Liz asked carefully: "Do you still remember me?"

The girl looked at Liz's face and shook her head slightly.

Liz stood up, quickly walked to Clemens, hugged the latter and asked the girl: "Do you still remember your father?"

The girl looked at Clemens, her body trembling slightly: "Dad?"

Clemens, who was shot in the abdomen, was already dying due to excessive blood loss.

He looked at Liz in front of him and said weakly: "Leave here and go to Ship Mountain Sanctuary."

Liz tried to help Clemens up, but the latter refused.

Clemens shook his head and said: "Leave me alone, I can't accompany you any longer..."

Liz cried and hugged Clemens: "I can't leave you."

Clemens gently held Liz's arm and whispered: "Take care of Alice and live well."

After saying these words, Clemens' hands dropped weakly and his eyes closed forever.

Seeing Liz hugging the man and crying loudly, pictures flashed through Alice's mind for a moment as she lost her memory.

When Alice wanted to capture those scenes, the screams coming from the tunnel in the distance interrupted her thoughts.

Alice said to the tearful Liz, "It's time to go."

Slowly putting down Clemens' body in her arms, Liz walked to the corner, picked up the M4 assault rifle, walked towards Goodman full of hatred, and pointed the gun at the scumbag's forehead.

Alice stretched out her hand to stop Liz and said, "Don't kill him, he is still useful."

Pointing the pistol at Goodman's left leg, Alice pulled the trigger again.

Boom!

Goodman, who was shot in both legs and completely unable to move, immediately understood the vicious thoughts of the seven-year-old girl in front of him.

"Fuck! My legs! You damn devil! I curse you! I curse you to a bad death!"

Alice looked into the depths of the tunnel, then turned back to Liz and said, "Let's go, someone will help us take good care of this gentleman."

Listening to the footsteps of the two women walking further and further away, Goodman, who was crawling on the ground to survive, finally saw the shadows coming in the darkness.

While crawling back like crazy, he turned around and shouted: "I am a decent person! I shouldn't die like this! Get away! Don't come near me!"

Soon, darkness covered the entire tunnel, and the screams completely drowned out the screams of the victims.
