Chapter 468: 403 Hua Xiuning, my sister’s name
Lin Xia possessed the self-serving mindset essential for a superior, never engaging in actions that offered no benefits.
Unable to discern the clear situation, they wouldn’t rashly cast aside their bets.
Especially during the apocalypse, it made these superiors tread even more carefully.
Each decision exhausted their brain cells.
“My father, he too wanted to strive to make F City the greatest fortress of the apocalypse.”
“You could laugh at him for overestimating himself, but he also saved a lot of survivors.”
“In our F City, there were also many survivors who found the chance to continue living.”
“No matter what, he didn’t deserve to die.”
Lin Zhigang was in immense pain, still maintaining the posture of crouching and holding his head, he painfully said to Hua Mi:
“What do you want me to do? How do you want me to choose? If I let you and your child go, my father will die.”
“But how can I lay a hand on a mother and two babies in their cradles?”
“How should I choose?”
He was just a very ordinary man, even after the apocalypse had struck, he hadn’t manifested any superpowers.
How could such a man save his own father? How could he do right by both?
The crouching Lin Zhigang suddenly lifted his face, in the faint light, he looked ashen-faced as he said to the coldly watching Hua Mi:
“Given your personality, you definitely won’t let off someone as heartless and ungrateful as me.”
“You wholeheartedly helped me, leading me to try to escape this Zombie Tide, and yet I put the knife to your throat, I am an ungrateful, despicable person.”
“Why don’t you kill me now? You kill me, and I won’t have to face this painful and crushing apocalypse.”
“I won’t have to make such a difficult choice anymore.”
Hua Mi leaned back, finding a stone to support her body, and said indifferently:
“Death is easy, in the apocalypse, dying is too trivial an affair for someone who wants to die.”
“Living is harder than dying, it’s always been that way.”
“Do you think living is too painful and too difficult, but have you thought about what will happen to your father after you die?”
“Who will save him? If Chen Hu kills your father, then it would all be settled.”
“But Chen Hu obviously isn’t the kind of person to let you and your father off easily.”
“Have you considered what kind of torture your father will endure in Chen Hu’s hands?”
“I imagine it must be worse than death.”
With each word Hua Mi said, Lin Zhigang’s complexion grew a shade paler.
By the time she finished speaking, Lin Zhigang’s suffering had deepened.
He clutched his white hair, forcefully plucking it out strand by strand,
“So now I can’t even choose to die?”
“What should I do, what am I really supposed to do?”
Hua Mi spoke coldly, her voice like that of a demon from hell, filled with a chillingly terrifying meaning,
“When Chen Hu calls you again, you just directly tell Chen Hu that you have a way to smuggle one of my children away.”
“Let Chen Hu come to pick up the child, he wants my child, then he should make some effort.”
“Tell him, to smuggle a child out of Xiang City and successfully elude me and Gong Yi’s pursuit, to deliver the child to him, relying solely on your power won’t be enough.”
“Moreover, tell him you can only bring the child as far as the outskirts of E City.”
“He doesn’t know you’ve already left Xiang City, tell him to pick up the child and bring your father along.”
“If your father is dead, you will certainly not let him get his way.”
“To achieve his goal, Chen Hu will make sure your father is very much alive.”
Lin Zhigang felt the plan was full of holes.
Could they really deceive Chen Hu into leaving F City and going to E City? Would Chen Hu believe it?
He grabbed his hair, his eyes red, and asked Hua Mi,
“Shouldn’t we make the plan more detailed and thorough?”
“I always feel this plan is too clumsy; Chen Hu, being such a shrewd person, won’t believe it.”
“What kind of bargaining chips does he have in his hands right now? It’s not up to him to believe it or not.”
“Even if he doesn’t believe, he currently doesn’t have the manpower or resources, to verify the veracity of this news.”
“Everyone knows what he wants with my child, the Xiang City Base can’t be brought down, he wants to take my child as a hostage.”
