Chapter 353 The Final Direction
"Um……"
Han Shuo frowned and began to think.
He knew that although Cheng Shenghong's words had a hidden meaning, his considerations were indeed for his own good.
After pondering for a while, he already had the answer in his heart.
"Brother Yao Nan, I understand your good intentions, but let's just forget about it."
"Even if we do reunite with Brother Qingyu and the others later, I don't plan to reveal my strength to the public."
"What you say makes sense, but there's usually no such thing as a free lunch."
"If I overuse the resources from Brother Qingyu and his group, I will inevitably become involved with people who have nothing to do with me."
"I don't want to be bound by my feet like this."
Actually, there was something that Cheng Shenghong and the others didn't know: the black ID card that Director Yue Zongyang had originally intended to be given to Han Shuo.
His suggestion was essentially the same as what Yue Zongyang entrusted to him at the end.
Perhaps the only difference between the two is that Han Shuo has transformed from a leader into a strongman.
However, regardless of which identity he holds, he will definitely be bound to that large group of survivors.
Since Han Shuo chose to refuse that day, he will do so again today.
It's possible to contact Qingyu's team myself, but there are conditions:
The members of their own team must be able to evacuate at any time when an uncontrollable crisis occurs, rather than being conditionally bound to the survivor team for the sake of profit.
After all, he has the energy to take care of his friends, but not everyone.
Moreover, this is exactly what Han Shuo has always wanted and was willing to do.
He didn't want to become a second Yue Zongyang, nor did he want to become a second Steward Wang...
...
"Fine, then let's just forget about it."
Cheng Shenghong shook his head with a wry smile.
He felt no regret; he simply offered suggestions that he thought were quite good.
The final decision rests with Han Shuo.
He also respects Han Shuo's choice.
"Alright, let's not dwell on this anymore, Brother Yao Nan. I have a new idea."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Han Shuo nodded, took out a pen from his pocket, and drew a line on the map.
The line first turns south from their location, then turns into the middle of this territory, and then continues westward, stretching straight to the end of the map.
Just as Cheng Shenghong was racking his brains trying to figure it out, he heard Han Shuo's explanation.
"Brother Yao Nan, how about we follow this route roughly, and eventually reach the westernmost edge of this territory, then escape abroad?"
After saying this, Cheng Shenghong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"foreign!?"
Han Shuo smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, and sat quietly waiting.
He knew that Cheng Shenghong needed time to digest the plan.
Time passed slowly, and about a minute later, Cheng Shenghong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slapped his thigh hard.
"Holy crap, brilliant! Brilliant! How come I didn't think of that?"
He looked at Han Shuo with excitement and continued speaking.
"Brother Han, I feel that your suggestion is really good, really good!"
"Abroad? I never even thought of that before. Your vision is really much broader than mine."
Han Shuo waved his hand and said politely.
"Brother Yao Nan, please don't flatter me. I just tend to overthink things and have a lot of random thoughts."
Then, he became serious and continued speaking.
"Now, those of us who have evacuated from the underground research institute are very likely to be the last survivors in this territory."
"Because the Zombie King is here now, sooner or later he will lead his legion of death to wipe out everyone in this territory."
"You should know that as he advances, the number of zombies under his command will only increase."
"Since this territory will eventually be swallowed up by the zombie horde, instead of racking our brains to hide everywhere, we might as well escape as far as possible in one go."
"Anyway, we are definitely going to flee to the west. After all, the east and south are mostly sea areas, and the north has a colder climate and more uncontrollable factors."
"The chances of survival are higher if we head west."
"There's no need for us to linger on this territory any longer. Let's head west."
...
Cheng Shenghong nodded; he had indeed struggled with this issue before.
Now, after listening to Han Shuo's explanation, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Yes, the logic is that simple. Just head west. After all, there are still many countries in the West. The only thing they need to do right now is to keep a sufficient distance from the zombie king.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shenghong couldn't help but give Han Shuo a thumbs up.
"Brother Han, I agree with your plan. I was too fixated on surviving in this territory before."
"However, if we go abroad, we'll probably encounter survivors from other countries, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo spoke up.
"That's natural. We have our way of surviving, and they certainly have theirs. Even if few survive, they will eventually encounter foreigners over time."
Cheng Shenghong pondered for a moment, then asked again.
"Wouldn't that cause some unnecessary trouble? After all, we haven't encountered any foreigners in the past two years, and we can't really figure out their nature."
After saying this, Han Shuo burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahaha! Brother Yaonan, I feel that we don't need to worry about this issue at all."
“In this world, there is never a shortage of people with ill intentions. These people exist everywhere, regardless of country or region.”
"If we really encounter this kind of person abroad, it's very simple."
He paused for a moment, then smiled and made a throat-slitting gesture towards Cheng Shenghong.
Then, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.
"If you encounter someone like that, just kill them!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Shenghong was visibly taken aback.
The next second, he laughed with relief.
Yes, they've been through so much in the past two years...
Now, the most terrifying zombie king is hundreds of kilometers away from them, and they can sit here and chat without a care in the world.
So, what else is there to be afraid of?
Human nature is inherently difficult to fathom, so there's no need to overcomplicate things.
Yes, there will always be people with ill intentions, no matter where you are.
If you encounter normal people abroad, that's naturally good, and both sides can live in peace.
But if you encounter some people with ulterior motives, then, as Han Shuo said, things will turn out differently.
Just kill them!
These people never show mercy to their enemies.
Most importantly, the new team they've assembled now is significantly stronger than before.
Undeniably, this will happen after Han Shuo completes his fifth evolution.
Their small team is really strong, really strong...
Thus, the two reached an agreement, and their next step was:
They traveled westward until they fled abroad.
