I smiled at him and said, "I don't think I have any obligation to tell you my name."

Zhang Xinwei pushed up his glasses and said kindly, "Young man, I see you're heading south, right? I advise you not to go. Wutong City is in the south, and there are too many zombies there. Going there is just suicide. Why don't you come with us? I can't guarantee anything, but with the two of us, protecting you shouldn't be a problem."

I smiled and said, "I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness, but we still have a long way to go. Goodbye."

I had barely taken a step when Wu Tao reached out and shoved me in the chest, a smirk playing on his lips as he glanced at me and said, "Kid, we're giving you face, don't be shameless, you know?"

I turned and stared at him. "What would I do with your faces? Eat them?"

“You…” Wu Tao wanted to get angry.

"Wu Tao," Zhang Xinwei stopped him. "Young man, I'm sorry, but my companion here has a rather volatile temper. What I just said is true, there really is nowhere left to go in the south. Come with us, there's strength in numbers."

I looked at Zhang Xinwei and said, "I said I don't need it, do you intend to force me?"

Zhang Xinwei smiled and said, "If you're unwilling, I don't mind forcing you."

I laughed when I heard this. Zhang Xinwei's words were quite clear: they wanted us to join them, but their purpose was probably not good.

"Are you threatening me?" I asked.

“You can think of it that way.” Zhang Xinwei flicked the machete in his hand and gave Wu Tao a look. The two of them clamored for the five of us to approach.

I frowned, stood still, and said, "You've brought this upon yourselves, don't blame me."
