Chapter 463: 401 I can’t finish any task at all_2
They entered a ruin located in the suburbs.
Just as they went in, zombies immediately surrounded the building.
Hua Mi looked at the pitch-dark ruins, she pointed to a large pile of electric nets in the corner, and a large pile of Energy Water Drops turned into jelly-like rocks, and said to Lin Zhigang,
“I’m going to go back and take care of the child now, you can stay here alone.”
“Here are the electric nets, and some Energy Water Drops, that should last you for about half a month.”
“You should seal all these electric nets to the windows and doors of the ruins, as well as all the other openings.”
Lin Zhigang had a look of panic in his eyes,
“Are you leaving too? Are you going to leave me here alone?”
There was also a transport point here, which was very surprising to Lin Zhigang.
But right now, he couldn’t think about anything else.
Suddenly, he felt very afraid, standing in the ruins, pathetically looking at Hua Mi.
Lin Zhigang had never felt so alone and scared before in his life.
Because of his good background and decent education, Lin Zhigang had always been very popular since he was a child, always surrounded by a large group of companions.
Never had he been so completely alone as he was now.
Considering his current situation, his father’s fate was unknown, and Guo Se, who had shared life-and-death situations with him, left him not long ago due to personal reasons.
Even now, Hua Mi, who had been like a guardian deity in his heart, was also about to leave him.
Lin Zhigang felt like a child, about to leave a place and person that made him feel safe, facing a unknown world filled with ferocity all alone.
He shook his head, his eyes even showing a plea, hoping that Hua Mi would not choose to leave at this time.
But Hua Mi raised her hand, patted Lin Zhigang on the shoulder,
“You chose to come out here on your own, and since you made this choice, you should be mentally prepared for it.”
“The world out there is this cruel; no one can rely on anyone, including me, including your father.”
“The path through the apocalypse is ultimately a journey you must take alone, no matter how hard it is, you must keep going.”
“Besides, this place is very safe right now, you still have the electric net and Energy Water Drops; these should be enough.”
“And I have my own child to take care of, right? It wouldn’t make sense for me to stay here looking after you and neglect my child.”
Lin Zhigang struggled in his eyes, knowing that the reasoning was indeed sound.
He just felt anxious, and asked Hua Mi with difficulty,
“What if you can’t come back after half a month?”
“If I haven’t returned after half a month, you must make your own way out, fight your way to F City.”
Hua Mi gestured to the long knife in Lin Zhigang’s hand,
“The knife has been given to you, and that will be your only reliance from now on.”
“Who hasn’t come through this way? Didn’t Guo Se come through the same way?”
After saying this, Hua Mi unhesitatingly teleported back to the toilets at the Xiang City Base garrison camp.
By that time, the sky was already beginning to light up.
Lin Zhigang felt especially horrible, a sensation unrelated to love or affection.
But he finally realized that he might truly have to walk the future path alone.
He tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand. By the time he belatedly realized what was happening, zombies had already begun to crawl into the ruins through a broken window.
Lin Zhigang, in a frantic mess, picked up the knife and chopped down the zombie that had crawled into the ruin.
Then, in a fluster, he attached the electric net to the broken window.
Setting up this electric net was very simple; as a top student, Lin Zhigang had quickly become proficient in setting up electric nets after following Guo Se for several days.
He swiftly sealed the openings with the electric net, then, covered in sweat and looking disheveled, he slumped down against the wall.
Amid the faint dawn light, with the zombies’ howling outside the ruins rising and falling, Lin Zhigang spent a grueling 24 hours half-asleep and half-awake, utterly exhausted.
These 24 hours felt as long as a lifetime to him.
And just when night fell again, he had lost count of how many zombies he had killed that crawled in through the holes in the ruins, nor how many times he had repaired the electric net.
He had finally managed to seal off all the openings in the ruins.
Just when Lin Zhigang heaved a sigh of relief, his phone rang.
