Chapter 467: 402 But I can’t bring myself to do it_3
Her clear eyes remained fixed, maintaining her seated position on the ground, the corners of her mouth lifted in a mocking smile as she looked at Lin Zhigang, whose eyes were bloodshot.
“You’re just holding the knife to my neck, what use is that?”
“Why don’t you cut directly and get it over with?”
“With your indecisive nature, I could turn the tables and kill you in a split second.”
Don’t they say villains die from talking too much? Lin Zhigang was being far too hesitant in his actions. He already had the knife at Hua Mi’s neck, what was he still thinking about?
Why not just go ahead and do it?
Hua Mi couldn’t understand Lin Zhigang’s hesitation at this very moment.
The hand holding the long knife shook even more violently.
Tears filled his eyes. Through his blurry vision, Lin Zhigang looked at Hua Mi and said,
“But I can’t bring myself to do it.”
“I have thought about choosing one of the two options given by Chen Hu.”
“I can’t just go back to Xiang City now and harm those two innocent children.”
“So, I’m left with considering the second option; killing you to save my father.”
But Lin Zhigang had already placed the knife to Hua Mi’s neck.
He remembered so much, this woman who always kept a stern face, yet in the midst of the Zombie Tide, had saved Lin Zhigang from the brink of danger time after time.
If it weren’t for Hua Mi’s protection, Lin Zhigang would have long been dead somewhere.
And it was Hua Mi, a woman with formidable skills, who was also the mother of two children.
She fought the zombies outside and when the time came, she would definitely fly back to Xiang City to take care of her children.
She never failed to be there for her children.
But she didn’t just hide behind Gong Yi, enjoying his protection either.
Hua Mi was a woman who was working very hard to stay alive.
And she was a kind woman.
Lin Zhigang had seen all of this.
So facing such a kind mother, useful to both the environment and society, how could Lin Zhigang bring himself to harm her?
Listening to Lin Zhigang’s muttering, Hua Mi slightly furrowed her brow and asked,
“So, what you’re saying is, Chen Hu ran to your F City and kidnapped your dad?”
“And Chen Hu gave you two options, either kill my children or kill me?”
Lin Zhigang yelled at Hua Mi,
“No, Chen Hu doesn’t want the lives of your two children, he wants me to take one of your children to raise as his own.”
Chen Hu had no children, and he believed that Hua Mi and Gong Yi had brought him to this point today; as compensation, it was reasonable for Hua Mi and Gong Yi to give him one of their children to raise.
Of course, Chen Hu still wanted the lives of either Hua Mi or Gong Yi.
So, Chen Hu offered Lin Zhigang these two options, and fulfilling one of them would spare Lin Xia’s life.
Anger flared in Hua Mi’s eyes as she stood up from the ground, the long knife still pressing down on her from Lin Zhigang’s hand.
Impatiently, Hua Mi swept away Lin Zhigang’s long knife.
She looked at Lin Zhigang, who staggered slightly with the long knife. This Doctor Lin was unbelievably weak.
Even Guo Se, a woman like her, had gradually become tougher after slaying a slew of zombies.
But Lin Zhigang was different; he had been killing zombies for so long yet his blows were still feeble.
His combat strength had grown far too slowly.
With such fighting power, Lin Zhigang still harbored the intention to kill Hua Mi. What was Hua Mi supposed to say?
“You actually seriously considered taking away one of my children for Chen Hu?!”
Hua Mi, furious, kicked Lin Zhigang,
“No one can take my children away, whoever touches my children, I’ll crush them to dust.”
She watched Lin Zhigang, distraught, as he dropped the long knife and hugged his head, collapsing to the ground,
“I can’t do it, I can’t harm your two innocent children, I know that, why wouldn’t I?”
“What good would come to these children in Chen Hu’s hands?”
“I can’t kill you either; you are a good person, but is my father truly a complete villain?”
“My father isn’t like that either.”
Human nature is multifaceted.
F City’s Commander Lin Xia, during Qu Shiheng and Chen Hu’s surprise attack on Xiang City, chose to stand by and do nothing.
Lin Xia did something quite unscrupulous in this case.
But does that mean Lin Xia is a thoroughly evil person?
Is he so sinful that he deserves to die?
Especially to fall into Chen Hu’s hands and be tortured to death.
