Chapter 615 An Indecisive Choice
The main reason why Feng agreed so readily was that he saw the determination in Qingyu's eyes.
He had a good impression of Steward Wang in the past, and today he has a good impression of Qingyu as well.
He felt that Qingyu and he shared a viewpoint that coincided:
Everything they did was for the greater good of humanity!
Both of them wanted to end this apocalypse and return humanity to its former civilized era.
...
It's common knowledge that the Zombie King possesses black blood that can solve all problems.
Feng had been chasing him all alone, and it was precisely because of this incident.
However, as time went by, the Zombie King became an existence no weaker than him, and the forces of death under his command also began to grow stronger.
Gradually, Feng realized that it was unlikely that he could successfully obtain the Black Blood on his own.
In this situation, he did indeed need the support of others, and he did need someone like Qingyu to step forward and hold back the zombie king's army of death.
Especially after being seriously injured last time, I don't have much time left...
Two years, just two more years, and the lifespan of the wind will come to an end.
He hoped that he could see the day when humanity triumphed before he died.
In this way, he would have no more regrets.
...
At this moment, everyone in the room had a complex expression on their face.
Yu Qing was overjoyed, while Lun En was shocked.
Qingyu's face was filled with excitement. Before this, he had prepared a whole bunch of persuasive words in his mind.
Who would have thought that the wind would agree so readily?
The fat man tugged at the stylish man's arm and asked in a low voice.
"Um, boss, shouldn't we reconsider? If we lose, everyone will die."
"Moreover, the hope of winning is really slim."
Feng remained expressionless, shook his head at the fat man, and repeated himself again.
"I agree to join the war!"
...
Seeing Feng's resolute attitude, Han Shuo opened his mouth several times but hesitated to speak.
He couldn't find a reason to persuade Feng, because of everyone present, he knew Feng's character best.
He also roughly sensed some of the reasons why Feng did this...
However, at this moment, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a dilemma.
To be honest, when Qingyu made this request, his instinct was to refuse outright.
Because he didn't have much of a heroic spirit; his only obsession was to protect the lives of all the brothers around him.
Agreeing to join the war would mean personally leading the fat man and the others to the brink of death.
This goes against his original intention...
However, if he didn't agree, he couldn't face the wind.
Could it be that he's really abandoning the wind and taking everyone away with him?
At this moment, no matter what choice he makes, it seems like it will be wrong.
...
At this moment, Qingyu seemed to have also seen through Han Shuo's inner struggle.
Sigh~
He sighed, and to be honest, he felt a little sad.
He was distressed because he had personally put Han Shuo, who had helped him several times, on the hot seat today, placing the other party in a very painful situation.
However, he had no choice but to do so, because without wind, they really had no chance of winning.
To perish together with the zombie king and destroy the black blood within him is absolutely the worst possible strategy!
Must they really give up on this great battle, abandon this last and only hope? He, too, was unwilling…
...
After a long silence, Qingyu slowly stood up, walked around to Han Shuo's side, and said apologetically.
"sorry……"
"Brother, I know I've put you in a difficult position today, but I still hope you can fight alongside us."
"Because if you join us, the chances of winning that great battle will increase again."
He paused for a moment, but then said everything.
“Dr. Lin had contacted me once before.”
He said that your initial physical condition was second only to the wind, and that you were able to withstand multiple subsequent evolutions.
"Now, I can't find anyone who has practiced martial arts since childhood, nor do I have the time to cultivate another top-level master."
"Only you might reach that level of success in the future..."
"If you join, I will pool all the resources and put them all on you. Then, you and Feng, two of the strongest individuals, will fight against the Zombie King together. We really... really have a very high probability of success."
After Qingyu finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, she actually bowed deeply to Han Shuo on the spot.
"You brat, I'm begging you, please grant me this request."
...
This was the first time Xiao Zhao had ever seen a senior officer, at the commander level, bow to a junior.
He was unknowingly moved by his old captain, and feeling a pang of sadness, he offered words of advice.
"Brother Han, just agree to the commander's request."
He never forgot his identity as a soldier, and he shared the same obsession as Qingyu...
The fat man beside him frowned, a serious expression appearing on his face that he had never shown before.
Of all those present, he was the one who had followed Han Shuo the longest, and also the first friend to stand by Han Shuo's side during the apocalypse.
He understood the deep-seated predicament his brother was facing, and he wouldn't say anything that would put his brother in a difficult position. He simply sat quietly, waiting for Han Shuo's decision.
If Han Shuo refuses, the fat man will turn around and leave with him.
If Han Shuo agrees, he will also join the war without hesitation!
...
After an unknown amount of silence in the room, Han Shuo finally slowly opened his eyes.
He first got up and helped Qingyu up, neither agreeing nor refusing, but instead looked at Lunen who was standing to the side.
"Chief Lunn, can you tell me why you joined this war?"
Lun En was taken aback, clearly not expecting Han Shuo to suddenly ask him such a question in the tense atmosphere.
After regaining his senses, he laughed heartily.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Then, he patted his stomach and spoke.
"I only have a few words to say!"
"I am afraid of death, but we were all mercenaries. We mercenaries are used to living a life of bloodshed and danger, and what we have in abundance is our fighting spirit!"
"If we could return to those carefree and relaxed times, we would give it a try, no matter how slim the hope!"
...
"Bloodlust? Bloodlust..."
Han Shuo understood; he understood everything at once.
He gave a self-deprecating laugh; he had long forgotten those two words.
Now, most of the time, he lets reason prevail over emotion. After being tempered by the dangers of the apocalypse for the past few years, he knows that if he acts impulsively, he could lead everyone into an abyss of destruction.
"Courage, courage..."
After muttering a couple more words to himself, Han Shuo smiled at Lun En, then turned and smiled at Qing Yu.
"Phew~"
He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then spoke.
“I know you saved my life last time, and I am truly grateful.”
"But... I am also responsible for the lives of my brothers, and I need more time to think about this!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.
