“He is not the type of person to be persuaded! I was just giving him a kind reminder, but he criticized me in return! My concern is that Zhou JingJing and Lee Miao were attacked because they were isolated from the group. So wouldn’t that happen to us, too, if we both left together?” Zhou MingLiang was still hesitant about taking action.
“That Liu person definitely doesn’t care about the survival of us locals. If there is a moment of real danger, he will definitely save his own skin first. Afterwards, he will worry about the safety of those ‘players’. We local survivors are cannon fodder, so if we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves. If you want to stay here and continue to accept his abuse, then I have no objections. But I won’t sit here and wait for that moment.” Xu ChangHui was disappointed in Zhou MingLiang.
“His attitude toward us local survivors is as bad as you have put it. Every time I took the initiative to try and make conversation with him, he was cold towards me. We are like second-rate citizens,” Zhou MingLiang recalled how Liu Gan acted towards him.
Clearly, Zhou MingLiang misunderstood Liu Gan. Liu Gan was annoyed at how talkative Zhou MingLiang was, always generating unnecessary noise. As for every team member, whether it was player or survivor alike, it made no difference in Liu Gan’s heart.
“Today, I took the opportunity to hide several cylinder cases of noodles in the flower bed outside of the restaurant. Let’s take the opportunity later to pretend to go to the bathroom. Then retrieve these cylinder noodles and escape to the front door. Based on my observation, the big iron gate required retracting the iron bolt, before it swings open. So as long as we don’t make too much noise, we can escape. We also have to be quiet when we unravel the yacht chains, and we can get off this island! I am very familiar with NinJing city’s riverway, we can follow the downstream flow and leave this godforsaken city.”
“When we reach the countryside, there are fields full of fresh vegetables and grain. The best part is that there aren’t that many zombies! It is possible that we can find chickens and ducks, so, with both our abilities, I am positive we can live more comfortably there than we do here. Otherwise, if we stay here, I’m sure that Liu person will order us around like his slaves, so there isn’t much value in remaining here.”
“Now is our time to steal the yacht and escape in order to achieve everything I’ve said. If we miss this opportunity, we might die on this island. If we don’t die even then, we will only have to rely on that Liu person and his gang. We will just have to be subservient to them; I’ve worked several years as a hospital caretaker in the pre-apocalyptic days. That is why I don’t want to continue to lower my head to others!” Xu ChangHui said with a firm tone.
“What are you two whispering about?” Wang DeCheng seemed to have caught onto how Xu ChangHui and Zhou MingLiang were whispering into each other’s ear. So Wang DeCheng walked over and asked the two of them.
“I ate too much. My stomach hurts, as though I have diarrhea. I was wondering if I could go to the bathroom.” Xu ChangHui stood up and replied to Wang DeCheng.
“Going to the bathroom? It’s not safe to go alone.” Wang DeCheng hesitated.
“Let him accompany me. We will be quick, and nothing wrong will happen… It is about to come out of my pants!” Xu ChangHui held onto his stomach with the pretense of urgency.
