Cui Chong heard what they said loud and clear. However, he pretended to be confused and asked with a smile, “What are you guys talking about? Why do you look so serious? What happened in the canteen was just a trivial matter.”

As he said that, he reached out his hand to Li Hui.

​

Li Hui quickly avoided it.

“You’ll know in a little bit. Follow me.”

Cui Chong nodded with a smile.

“The soldier had scolded me for a long time. I’ll be more careful in the future! It won’t happen again!”

The two of them did not respond. They just made way for Cui Chong to leave.

They finally met up with Lin Nan.

Cui Chong was quite calm. He acted as if he did not do anything wrong.

Lin Nan was in Fang Lin’s office. They were talking before the big guy and Li Hui arrived. When they looked up, they saw Cui Chong.

Fang Lin immediately stood up and raised his pistol. He grinned and said, “Is it against the law to kill someone?”

“It’s not, but there’s no need.”

Lin Nan was not as excited as Fang Lin. He stood up and walked to Cui Chong, clearly knowing that Cui Chong had once harmed Li Ran. Lin Nan smiled and said, “Why did you run away when we were looking for my wife? Did you find her?”

Cui Chong smiled back at Lin Nan. He had a sharp intuition. Naturally, he caught wind of Lin Nan’s hostility.

“I found her but we ran into a hoard of zombies. So, we split up and escaped. Everything happened so suddenly and I felt guilty. I did not have the courage to face you guys. It really is fate that we get to meet up again like this.”

Cui Chong had a dejected expression on his face while blaming herself.

Hearing that, Lin Nan pursed her lips and asked, “What happened after that? Did you see her again?”

“No. She just told me to run the other way as quickly as possible so we would not burden each other.”

Cui Chong did not know that Lin Nan already saw everything, that he had pushed Li Ran.

“Are you sure that she was able to get away?”

“Fang Lin saw that Li Ran was surrounded by zombies!”

“Yes, she was very confident. We even had an agreement. She said that she would leave trails to her location so that we can find her later.”

Cui Chong thought of a suitable excuse. After all, Li Ran was indeed still alive.

Lin Nan looked at him silently.

Cui Chong had met all kinds of people during the apocalypse, so he knew how to act accordingly. Not everyone could see through him.

Lin Nan had a kind heart and gave him the benefit of the doubt.

However, Fang Lin was different. He was very sharp. His gentle eyes hid his critical personality.

“Well, where are the trails? I’ll go with you to look for it,” said Lin Nan in a calm voice as he looked at Cui Chong.
