"He Brother, what are we going to do now? When will we leave here?" While waiting for the tired-looking He Jin to recover, Gong Lixin could not sit still and crawled up to him with expectations.
"The apocalypse was too sudden. It's estimated that all the roads in the city are blocked by cars. Unless the military sends an armored vehicle and clear the roads, we can't get out. Let's wait for awhile and observe the situation first." He whispered with a frown on his face.
Gong Lixin's expectations of returning home shattered, his expression becoming faint. He looked listless as he lowered his head.
He Jin's heart was discomforted by the sight. He pulled the boy beside him, making him sit, and gently patted the boy's back. Softly comforting the boy, he said, "Don't worry, I will send you back unharmed."

He Jin's nickname was "Coffin Face" because of his permanently cold attitude and expressionless face. It was rare to see him happy let alone seeing him being gentle and comforting someone. Wu Ming stared at him with a strange expression, but once he remembered that Young Master Gong was the one who saved his life, Wu Ming no longer thought the scene strange anymore.
"I can protect myself." Gong Lixin still looked stunned. He paused before speaking again, this time his tone was more cautious. "He Brother, this is not a safe place to stay. You can't wait for the army to rescue us. Within fourteen days, these zombies will evolve, their joints will soften, their five senses will become more sensitive and they will be able to jump and climb without any problem. At that time, this three-meter high wall can't stop them."
The broadcast from before the apocalypse showed that the military had a lot of information and that their predictions were extremely accurate. Thus Gong Lixin's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Lu Yun shrunk back in fear and mourned. "Fuck! The zombies will evolve. If the military doesn't come and save us, aren't we going to die?"
"What are you panicking for? If the military doesn't come and save us then we can save ourselves. We'll stick to the original plan and send Lixin home within these fourteen days. There is a military passage in the military district that is not open to public and is directly connected to the garrison. The road there is never blocked and we will be able to leave the city from there. If we're lucky, we may be able to meet the army as we journey across. However, I need some time to think about how to safely get to the military compound." He Jin said.
Gong Lixin's delicate brows slightly lifted up, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, bit his lip and stayed silent.
Wu Ming had been Lu Yun's bodyguard for seven or eight years. He experienced numerous kidnapping and assassination attempts. He was good at observing others. He could often interpret a person's true thoughts from observing some of their small unconscious gestures.

Seeing Gong Lixin's hesitant expression, Wu Ming had a sudden thought, "Young Master Gong, you don't plan on leaving on your own, do you? Even if you are powerful, it's still very dangerous!"
He Jin eyes sharpened after hearing Wu Ming. After the words were said, he immediately turned to look at Gong Lixin. Seeing the other with a determined look on his face, he became angry and yelled, "Do you want to die? You think that since your skills are better, you can handle them?! How many zombies are outside? You don't know? Sixty thousand! There are more than sixty thousand in the suburbs of North City. Every one of them can attack you!"
