Doomsday America

Chapter 37 Teaching her to shoot

Why is this happening?

He was certain he had been cautious enough, even rolling up his sleeves beforehand, and made no other sound except for the dull thud of the knife piercing his head!

Even so, he was still discovered by the zombies in the convenience store. Why was that?
Could it be that zombies are more sensitive to sudden dull sounds than humans, but less sensitive to ordinary sounds such as wind, insect sounds, and breathing sounds?
Unfortunately, there's no time to ponder the reasons in the current situation.

The moment Gavin and the zombie made eye contact, the zombie inside the store began to move, rushing straight towards Gavin and crashing into the glass window!

Gavin rushed to the convenience store door immediately to quickly observe the zombies' positions.

After a quick glance, Gavin was certain that there were no obstacles between him and the zombie. As long as the zombie didn't crash into the shop window and break the glass, he could safely kill it!

After instinct made a decision for Gavin, he immediately changed his sprint angle, running parallel to the convenience store window to prolong the time it took for the zombie to hit the glass.

At this moment, he was about thirteen meters away from the convenience store door.

The zombie was only a little over four meters from the convenience store door and less than two meters from the shop window!

Therefore, he must change the direction of the zombies' pursuit as quickly as possible, forcing the zombies to adjust their pace to buy time, so that he can gain that less than one second of time difference and prevent the zombies from crashing into the shop window!

As Gavin ran parallel to the shop window toward the door, the zombies indeed changed their pursuit direction to follow him.

Originally, the zombie intended to rush directly at Gavin, but it would have crashed into the shop window in just over a second.

But Gavin running parallel to the shop window, rather than running diagonally towards the convenience store door, would allow him to quickly draw the zombies' attention and direct their pursuit.

After Gavin turned his neck more than 30 degrees, the zombie managed to adjust its direction less than a meter in front of the shop window.

It's sizzling!

The zombie's shoes immediately made a scraping sound on the convenience store floor, showing that once the zombie started chasing, it really used every ounce of strength it had!

With this brief moment of friction and a turn, Gavin gained a second, falling more than eight meters behind the zombie and becoming just two steps away from the convenience store door.

He quickly took a step, turned around, and rushed to the convenience store door, grabbing the two doors and pulling hard.

wow...

There wasn't time to secure the convenience store door properly before the zombies pounced on it.

Looking at the direction the zombie was charging, and then at the small space in front of the convenience store door where there were no shelves blocking the way, Gavin suddenly kicked out and slammed his foot into the zombie's stomach to prevent it from hitting the glass door frame!

The zombie was kicked away and slid three meters across the floor, roaring as it tried to get up.

Before the store door could automatically close, Gavin rushed inside, wielding knives in both hands. He knelt on top of the zombie, shut his mouth, and stabbed it in the face again and again.

He stabbed the zombie six times before finally letting out a long breath, pulling the knife out from under the zombie's nose, and carefully wiping the blood off with the zombie's clothes.

After wiping the blade clean, Gavin stood up, went to the shelf next to him to find some wet wipes, and looked at himself in the mirror not far away.

Sure enough, this time he was too close to the zombies, and some blood inevitably splattered onto his face.

At that moment, the man in the mirror with his dark gold slicked-back hair and striking Texas cowboy looks somewhat like Arthur Morgan, a character from a Red Dead Redemption game.

The difference is that he is more handsome than Asher Morgan, and he doesn't have the typical high-altitude redness on his face and neck that most cowboys have.

Redneck cowboys are a breed that only exists on the western highlands.

Texas has a diverse geography, with the eastern half consisting of plains adjacent to the East Coast and the western half being part of the Edwards Plateau.

Therefore, only those who have lived on the western plateau of Texas for a long time will become America's famous rednecks.

The eastern part of Texas is the Dallas-Houston-San Antonio triangle.

The people there are plump and healthy thanks to the humid air of the east coast.

After seeing the location of the blood on his face, Gavin took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped the blood away bit by bit.

That wasn't enough; he then found some tissues, soaked them in alcohol, and wiped the area more than once.

After wiping himself down, he went to the handwashing station in the back of the convenience store and washed his face thoroughly.

Gavin grabbed a fresh towel to dry his face, pushed open the shop door, stood on the street, and waved to the car.

On the road, Eugene anxiously gripped his binoculars. He'd sensed something was wrong the moment Gavin started sprinting, but unable to see the store's interior, he could only watch helplessly as Gavin disappeared.

Now that Gavin has reappeared, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and drove toward Gavin.

As the car pulled up in front of the shop and the group got out, Gavin pointed to the corpses on the ground and inside the shop and said...

“Eugene, William, move them to the side of the road. Madison, tell Doris and Winnie to get out of the car.”

"what?"

Madison opened his mouth in surprise.

He wasn't usually one to question Gavin, but in this matter, Madison felt he had to offer some advice.

He instinctively glanced at the RV, and after confirming that Winnie and the other person hadn't heard Gavin's words, he whispered to Gavin.

"Boss, there's no need for those two. At most, we'll restock a little. It's the same whether they're here or not. I'll find the things they need for them."

"I've bought similar things for my wife before, so I know what women use. Don't worry!"

After saying that, Madison nudged Gavin's arm, waiting for Gavin's reply.

Upon hearing this, Gavin grinned.

"Really? You knew? Ha! How come I didn't know you were such a simp?"

Gavin chuckled and patted Madison on the shoulder, explaining.

"Don't be too presumptuous in caring for others. I think Winnie might not need your concern at all. She might be stronger than all of you."

"Moreover, the current environment is very safe. The nearest zombies are roaming in the town, which is only a hundred meters away. Even if we make too much noise, we will have at least ten seconds to react."

"This is a great environment for gaining experience, and it's also great for enhancing everyone's mental resilience."

"Look, here we can see zombies and feel the pressure they bring, but there is a safe distance. The risk is not so high that it is unbearable."

"Is there a better training ground than this? Or are you sure each of us can live to be a hundred years old in the apocalypse and keep them protected?"

"Nobody could live forever before the apocalypse, so how come when the apocalypse comes, you, an athlete, suddenly have your brain activated and become Lex Luthor, doing some kind of human evolution engineering?"

At this point, Gavin patted Madison's arm and pointed to the convenience store.

"Never mind, I'll go tell them to get out of the car. You go get two electrical outlets and some fuel additive. I have quite a few luxury cars at home, so the fuel additive might come in handy."

After saying that, Gavin waved his hand to signal everyone to get to work, then walked towards the RV on his own.

After staring at each other for a moment, everyone looked at Gavin's retreating figure, and then Eugene couldn't help but grin.

"Look at this damn big shot, that damn attitude of his, all he talks about are orders!"

"If it weren't for the fact that he was charging ahead like the political commissar on Su Lian's side, I would have chopped off the zombie's penis and thrown it into his mouth."

As Eugene walked toward the zombies near the refueling machine, he patted Madison on the butt as he passed by, and said this to Madison.

"As for you, tsk tsk, you're only fit to listen to your boss. Look how right he is."

"In the face of the apocalypse, even women must become warriors!"

"Don't even mention having them pick up trash now. After we settle down, I'm going to teach that kid how to shoot!"

"You may not know this, but there has always been a good market for female snipers internationally."

"While I may not be a top-tier sniper, as a spotter and assistant sniper, I have a real-world kill record at 1600 meters. Teaching a little kid is more than enough, haha~"

With a soft laugh, Eugene picked up the body and left, while William silently went to the convenience store and found the body inside.

At the same time, Gavin arrived at the RV door and smiled at Winnie, whose big eyes were blinking constantly.

"Get off the bus, kid, let's go shopping!"
