“No.”

The soldier immediately rejected Li Ran’s proposal.

Li Ran did not know if she should laugh or cry.

She could only continue to persuade him.

“If we let things stay the way they are, the both of us will die. Since there is a glimmer of hope, why don’t we act on it?”

As the soldier hacked a zombie that came close to them, he fell into deep thoughts.

It was true that they needed to do something, but there was nowhere safe for her to hide. If he failed his mission, all his efforts would be in vain.

How could he possibly trust Li Ran?

“Don’t kill me! I’m human, I wasn’t bitten!”

Suddenly, a man walked towards the two of them.

The soldier pointed his knife at him and was ready to kill.

The man slightly twisted his neck to soothe the discomfort on his body. Then, he looked at the soldier and said, “Can you protect me? I can even be of help to you!”

Li Ran was silent. There were really no signs that the man was bitten.

The soldier also stayed quiet. He was wary of the man’s intentions and signaled with his eyes for him to leave.

Upon being rejected, the man was filled with anger and his face turned red.

“It’s because I’m a man, isn’t it? That’s why you refused to protect me, right? I’m not as weak as that woman! I’m also a human! Why won’t you protect me?!”

“My mission is not to protect you,” the soldier replied without any hesitation.

The man felt like he had just heard the biggest joke of the century. How ridiculous. A soldier had no obligation to protect the people?

“I don’t care. I’m going to follow you whether you like it or not. Did you know that I almost lost my life? If you don’t protect me, I’ll cause a commotion and attract the zombies here.”
