If Lin Zhigang were to ask to go back now, it wouldn't be too late.
He couldn't kill Hua Mi, but going back to Xiangcheng and stealing one of Hua Mi's children for Chen Hu was a much simpler plan.
Lin Zhigang was lost in thought.
After Hua Mi entered the crevice, she found a large amount of supplies in the corner.
Lin Zhigang opened the package and installed the electric grid into the gap.
He turned to Hua Mi and asked,
"We've lived for so many days now, and we're still stuck in a zombie horde."
"At this rate, how long will it take us to leave this place and escape the zombie horde?"
Hua Mi casually found a place to sit and rest. She glanced at Lin Zhigang, closed her eyes, and said wearily,
"It's practically impossible for you to get out of the zombie horde in a short period of time."
"No one can safely walk out of an entire horde of zombies in just a few days."
“Look at those survivors who went through hardships and finally managed to fight their way from the outskirts of the zombie horde to the outskirts of Xiangcheng. They all had teams.”
"Small teams won't do; it has to be a large team of several hundred people to work together and fight our way to the outskirts of Xiangcheng to make a living."
"How long have you been gone? Be prepared for six months."
This is not Hua Mi exaggerating; Lin Zhigang has been in the Xiangcheng base since the beginning of the apocalypse.
This was the first time in his life that he truly saw what the world outside Xiangcheng was like.
Therefore, given Lin Zhigang's fighting ability, Hua Mi's estimate of six months is probably an overestimation of Lin Zhigang.
Hearing Hua Mi's words, Lin Zhigang, an ordinary person, became even paler than before, his already distraught face turning even more pale.
With his short white hair, he looked as miserable as a wandering ghost.
Lin Zhigang slowly turned around and looked at Hua Mi sitting on the ground, resting with her eyes closed.
He tightened his grip on the long sword, his voice suddenly becoming incredibly low and deep.
"Miss Hua, you know why I left Xiangcheng."
Hua Mi didn't open her eyes, but simply gave a casual "hmm".
"I know you did it to save your father."
Lin Zhigang, holding the long knife in his hand, slowly took two steps toward Hua Mi.
Outside the ruins, the roars of zombies could be heard.
However, such a narrow gap makes it quite difficult for zombies with little intelligence to squeeze into it along with other zombies.
In a short time, Lin Zhigang knew that the ruins Hua Mi had found were even safer than the previous ones.
She is truly someone who is well-suited to survive in the apocalypse.
Even in such a massive zombie horde, Hua Mi managed to find a safe place and establish a small safe zone. If you want to kill her, you must do it when she is off guard.
Lin Zhigang looked at Hua Mi, who seemed completely unprepared.
He took a few more steps toward Hua Mi, his voice growing increasingly heavy.
"I know my own abilities. If I could get out of this huge zombie horde in six months, my father would probably have already met with misfortune."
Hua Mi, with her eyes closed, couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't answer Lin Zhigang.
No one knows what Hua Mi is thinking at this moment.
The atmosphere was heavy, and people's hearts appeared increasingly ugly and despicable.
Hua Mi only slowly opened her eyes when Lin Zhigang raised his trembling hand and placed the long knife against her neck.
Her clear eyes remained fixed on her seated position, a mocking smile playing on her lips as she looked at Lin Zhigang, whose eyes were bloodshot.
"What good is holding a knife to my throat?"
"Why don't you just cut it off?"
"With your indecisive nature, I can turn the tables on you in no time."
Isn't it said that villains die from talking too much? Lin Zhigang is too indecisive. He's already holding a knife to Hua Mi's neck, what is he still thinking about?
Why don't we just take action already?
Hua Mi couldn't understand Lin Zhigang's hesitation at this moment.
Lin Zhigang's hand holding the long knife trembled even more violently.
His eyes were filled with tears, and through his blurred vision, Lin Zhigang looked at Hua Mi.
"But I can't bring myself to do it."
"I have considered choosing one of the two conditions Chen Hu gave me."
"I have no choice but to go back to Xiangcheng now and take action against those two innocent children."
"Then I can only think of the second condition: kill you, and I can save my father."
"But, but, but..."
But Lin Zhigang had already put a knife to Hua Mi's neck.
He remembered many things. He remembered this woman, who, despite her stern face, had saved Lin Zhigang from the brink of danger countless times during the zombie horde.
If it weren't for Hua Mi protecting him, Lin Zhigang would have been dead somewhere long ago.
And Hua Mi, a woman with such strong skills, is also a mother of two.
She fights zombies outside, but when the time comes, she will definitely fly back to Xiangcheng to take care of her two children.
She has never missed spending time with her children.
But she didn't just blindly hide behind Gong Yi and enjoy his protection.
Hua Mi is a woman who works very hard to live.
And she is a kind woman.
Lin Zhigang saw all of this.
So how could Lin Zhigang bring himself to do this to such a kind mother who is beneficial to both the environment and society?
Listening to Lin Zhigang's mutterings, Hua Mi frowned slightly and asked,
